C23 (1/2)
That night, Lan Yue slept rather well. When she woke up in the morning, Qi Yanjun had already disappeared, and she indifferently got off the bed to wash up. Even when the old man asked about his movements, she still covered for him with an unchanging expression.
If this dragged on, the child would definitely be able to stay in the Qi Family for his entire life. At that time, even if she divorced Qi Yanjun, she wouldn't be able to take the child away.
”That's right, it's so disgusting.”
Regarding Old Master Qi's inquiry, Lan Yue could only say that his company had encountered some trouble, and that he was busy handling it, but she was well aware that Qi Yanjun was definitely with Xu Miao Rong.
”Xiao Yueyue, what's the matter with the rumors in the company recently?”
As soon as Guan Xiao came back from her vacation, she heard rumors about Lan Yue from the company and couldn't sit still any longer. She didn't report to her department and quickly opened the door to her office.
”Don't worry, drink some water.”
Lan Yue poured her a cup of water and laughed when she saw that she was looking at him with such disappointment.
”Actually, I forgot to tell you. Qi Yanjun and I grew up together, so we can be considered childhood friends. That day, when I was not well, when he sent me to the hospital, he was misunderstood by everyone.”
”You and Young Master Qi are childhood friends?”
Guan Xiaoxiao was surprised for a moment, and then frowned. ”Then why didn't you explain?”
Lan Yue spread out her hands, ”The more I depict it, the darker it gets, so I might as well just let it happen.”
Her relationship with Qi Yanjun was something that was hard to explain. If Guan Xiaoxiao knew about her bad temper, she could have directly ripped Xu Miao Rong apart with her bare hands.
She said unhappily, ”But you have to listen to the rumors spread around the company. There are even people who say that the Young Master Qi abandoned you, but you refused to give up on them. I really want to tear off those eight women's mouths!”
Lan Yue patted her shoulder, and comforted her, ”You might look like you just do it on someone else's body, who cares about them, hurry up and go to work.”
Guan Xiaoxiao complained for a while, but didn't say anything more. She nodded, ”Ok. I'll treat you to a meal tomorrow at the weekend.”
”OK.”
After sending Guan Xiao Xiao off, Lan Yue calmed her heart and continued working. She folded all the documents and left the office one by one and sent them to the people below.
”Young miss Xu, you're here! Oh, no, the Young Master Qi's fiancee is here to retrieve the photo!”
Everyone looked at Lan Yue and saw that she did not even raise her eyebrows, as if she did not hear anything. She only explained to the assistant wholeheartedly.
”Lan Yue, can you accompany me to get the photo?”
Lan Yue straightened her body, looked into her smiling eyes, and lightly said.
”Our staff will bring the Miss Xu.”
Xu Miao Rong's smile faded, ”You're not willing?”
Lan Yue still had not replied, but upon hearing the commotion, the Li Tong immediately scolded him, ”Lan Yue, it's your honor to be called by the Miss Xu to accompany her! Hurry up!”
”...”
Lan Yue clenched her fists. Sensing Xu Miao Rong's slightly pleased gaze, she quickly calmed down and made a gesture of invitation.
”Miss Xu, this way.”
Xu Miao Rong laughed so flawlessly that it made many people praise him, ”Sorry for troubling you.”
Lan Yue brought her and walked towards the photo storage area. From far away, they could still hear some noise.
After successfully getting the wedding photos, Xu Miao Rong took a few small photos that were used as decorations, opened her handbag, and placed the photos inside. Her movements seemed to be a little hurried, and while flipping through them, she seemingly accidentally dropped a piece of light paper.
”Lan Yue, can you pick it up for me?”
Lan Yue looked at her friendly little face, anger flashed past her eyes, she silently bent down and picked up the paper.
”Xu —”
Just as she wanted to return the item to her, she inadvertently saw the contents on the paper. A wave of cold air rushed from the soles of her feet to her forehead, causing her mind to instantly go blank.
It was a medical certificate, and underneath it was a colourful photo. On the doctor's test results, a line of scribbles could be clearly seen.
— — Five and a half weeks of gestation. The fetus is developing normally and has been confirmed to be pregnant!
In the column with the patient's name, shockingly it was Xu Miao Rong's name!
As if she was being tormented by a storm, Lan Yue's expression began to decline at a speed visible to the naked eye, as she faced Xu Miao Rong's gaze in disbelief. In the next second, her arm powerlessly drooped down, and the paper in her hands spun in the air before slowly falling to the ground.
”Aiya, why did it fall out!”
After waiting for Miao Rong to appreciate Lan Yue's pale white face enough, it was as if she had just discovered that she had dropped something, and immediately picked up the diagnosis certificate. With the corners of her mouth raised, she said hypocritically, ”I had originally wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell you about it, but I didn't expect you to see it, sorry ~”
Lan Yue opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but his body seemed to have lost all of its energy, she was unable to say anything.
