Chapter 90: Measured
When Xie Yansheng clicked the answer button, his little finger inadvertently touched the speakerphone.
"Yansheng, I called you a dozen times, why didn't you answer?" Xie Mu came with an angry voice.
Wen Lan's eyelids began to jump.
Xie Yansheng hurriedly turned off the speakerphone, "I'm busy."
"If you don't pass the divorce agreement again, the old man will change his will tomorrow!"
Mother Xie was emotional, her voice was very high, and Wen Lan could hear it clearly.
"It's inconvenient for me to speak now, I'll get back to you later." Xie Yansheng was in a hurry to end the call, but was stopped by Xie's mother.
"It's all at this juncture, can't you still figure it out? On your terms, it's easy to find a woman who is ten times better than her! Haven't you been calculated by the Wen family enough in the past two years, if she offends Han Pei, it is equivalent to offending the old man, as long as you spend a day with her, the old man will regard you as a thorn in his side!"
Xie Yansheng said expressionlessly, "Wen Lan is pregnant."
Although he had been mentally prepared, Wen Lan's body still trembled when he heard this.
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago, I can't let her conceive a child, why don't you listen-" Before Mother Xie finished speaking, Xie Yansheng hung up the phone.
The piano music still sounded.
Wen Lan looked out the window, Xie Yansheng drove the car, and the two of them looked calm and did not speak.
"Maybe I'm just having a bad stomach and I'm not pregnant." Wen Lan took the initiative to break the silence.
"I'll find out if I take a test tomorrow morning." Xie Yansheng's eyes were filled with feelings that she couldn't understand, "Don't take the phone call just now to heart. They mentioned the divorce last year."
She asked softly, "I have a question that I have never figured out, you don't like me, and your family doesn't like me, why do you still put me in Mrs. Xie's place?"
"What man doesn't like a delicate and soft woman." Xie Yan laughed inappropriately.
She looked suspicious, "The women outside you are not bad."
"Much worse than you." Xie Yansheng's tone was light, "Especially with heart and bearing, I don't deserve to lift your shoes."
She glared at Xie Yansheng, and Xie Yansheng's hand suddenly fell on her lower abdomen, "Although I like my daughter very much, I still hope that he is a son."
"Now I'm not even sure if I'm pregnant or not, but I'm thinking about my daughter and son, it's funny!" She tore Xie Yansheng's hand off.
From the moment Xie Yansheng suspected that she was pregnant, she began to feel uneasy.
Once the lie is exposed, it will be time for her to be swept away by the Xie family.
The car drove into Wangjing, and Zhou Qiao's transatlantic call came.
A company in Beijing that supplies fabrics to TT has come up with a batch of new products, so Wen Lan can take a look, and by the way, set the payment for next spring.
Before going upstairs, Wen Lan was about to go to see the fabrics, but Xie Yan didn't allow it, "Tell her that you are not in Shangjing, and you will go play elsewhere with me."
"Don't worry, I'll go upstairs and sleep for a while, and then I'll go in the afternoon." Wen Lan was afraid of provoking him, so he didn't dare to fight him.
Xie Yan didn't say anything more.
After the two finished ordering lunch on their mobile phones, Duan Wenzheng called Xie Yansheng and said that Xue Ming had come from Jiangcheng, and he had booked a table outside and asked Xie Yansheng to accompany him.
Xie Yansheng had to go out again, leaving the car keys before leaving, "The road conditions here are complicated, and there are many cars, so be careful when driving out."
"Yes." She thanked him for leaving the car behind and watched him walk into the elevator.
Closing the door, she walked into the bathroom, took out the pregnancy test strip in the drawer, and measured it, it was indeed two bars.
Fang Yulian's medicine is really reliable, not only does it make her have morning sickness, but even the urine test is an illusion of pregnancy.
Before I could throw the test strip in the trash, there was a knock on the door to the living room.
"I forgot to bring a cigarette."
Xie Yansheng walked in, and when he entered the study, he glanced at her, his eyes fixed on the early pregnancy test strip on the washstand, "Tested?"
She hummed and tossed the test strip in the trash.
"Two red lines, positive." Xie Yansheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "I'm really pregnant."
"Not once
Suffice it to say something, test again tomorrow." She deliberately pretended to be resistant.
Xie Yansheng pulled her out of the bathroom, "Mrs. Xie is always reluctant to face the reality of pregnancy. This is the result of the test ten times, so let's prepare to be a mother."
"Are you ready to be a dad?" She suddenly remembered Cheng Chenglai, and smiled coldly, "You don't need to prepare at all, because you are already the father of a six-year-old child."
"When I'm with you, don't mention people who don't matter." Xie Yan lifted the hem of her blouse and landed on her lower abdomen.
"Take good care of it and search the Internet for contraindications during pregnancy. Don't look at any fabrics in the afternoon, let Zhou Qiao send someone from Jiangcheng."
"How can I be so delicate that I don't have to work when I'm pregnant? I've only tried it once, and tomorrow it might be a bar." She deliberately went against him.
"Okay, whatever you say is what you say. If you have to go out, be careful, and remember to call me if you really have something." Xie Yansheng suddenly hooked her waist, and her thin lips fell on her forehead.
The delicate and dense kiss suddenly provoked the hidden desire in her body.
She tiptoed to kiss his Adam's apple.
"You're crazy—" He suppressed a spur of the moment and pulled up her somewhat messy clothes, "It's not going to work for a while, let's take it easy—"
She woke up from her lust and blushed at him, "Hurry up and take your cigarette and go."
He pinched her cheek, went to the study to get a few boxes of cigarettes, and went downstairs.
Wen Lan's tense heartstrings were finally loosened.
It was the first time she had woven such a big lie, she had been scared and timid, but as long as she didn't want to be swept away by the Xie family, she had no choice.
Half an hour later, Wen Lan drove to a textile company called "Jinsui" in the Eastern District.
It is TT's fabric partner, and Zhou Qiao used to order fabrics in person, but Wen Lan only came once.
After staying in the exhibition hall for nearly an afternoon, Wen Lan watched the fabrics while giving Zhou Qiao a video, and finally settled on more than 20 kinds of fabrics.
When she returned, it was completely dark.
To her surprise, Xie Yansheng didn't make a single call all afternoon. Look at the book
Maybe I drank too much at noon and slept in Wangjing.
When she opened the door, she found that the room was empty, and it didn't look like someone had ever come back.
She dialed the number of Xie Yansheng.
No one answered after the bell was sung.
She sent another WeChat message asking why he hadn't come back yet, but there was still no response.
At this moment, she was inexplicably worried about the thank-you banquet.
When he was about to call Xie Yansheng again, he called back, "Done?"
The voice was very tired.
Wen Lan said "um", "It's already in Wangjing, why haven't you come back and gone to the company again?"
"I'm back in Jiangcheng." He said slowly, "I just landed an hour ago—"
