369 No One Is Allowed to Bully Her Except Me 2 (2/2)
”Maybe they're just using each other,” An Xiaoning remarked casually.
”Perhaps so. They're already in their thirties and no longer young and reckless teenagers. They must've weighed the pros and cons carefully before deciding to get married,” said an unsurprised Gu Beicheng.
The dishes were served one by one. Gu Beicheng put on a pair of disposable gloves and began peeling some prawns. Helping herself to the food with a pair of chopsticks in hand, An Xiaoning said, ”I've never dined at this restaurant before. You seem like you come here pretty often, though.”
”I've dined at almost every renowned restaurant in the city.”
”I have a nickname for you.”
”What is it?” he asked, handing her a peeled prawn.
An Xiaoning clasped the prawn with her chopsticks and said, ”You don't have to peel the prawns for me. Save the peeled ones for yourself. I can peel them myself.”
”I'm asking you, what's the nickname you gave me?”
”Little Glutton.”
”Haha, you're right,” Gu Beicheng agreed as he burst into laughter.
They had an enjoyable dinner, during which they cracked jokes with each other and chatted merrily. By the time she returned home, the children had already gone to school while Jin Qingyan was playing basketball with Fan Shixin.
Under the bright sun, An Xiaoning squinted to look at the two of them, who had athletic figures, and walked towards them while carrying her purse. She sat on a chair to watch their game, which ended when Jin Qingyan emerged victorious.
Holding a towel in hand, Jin Qingyan walked towards her and asked, ”How did it go?”
”It's settled. I didn't sleep well last night, I'd like to go take a nap,” said An Xiaoning as she stifled a yawn.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”Let me accompany you?”
”It's okay, I won't be able to sleep with you around.”
He chuckled and said, ”Go ahead, I'll play with Shixin for a while more.”
”Okay.”

Chi Rui'er walked into the gynecologist's office with her ultrasound scan report.
Due to the fact that her period was exceptionally heavy all of a sudden, she hurriedly rushed to the hospital without even having lunch. However, the gynecologist would only be in at two o'clock. Thus, she had no choice but to wait patiently for the gynecologist to report to work.
”Here, Doctor.”
The middle-aged female gynecologist took a look at her report before turning to face her. ”Are you 29 years old this year?”
”Yes, that's right.”
”You're suffering from a severe case of cervical erosion. It's not quite shown clearly in the scans, but according to your description, the unusually heavy blood flow is a sign of an abnormality. So, we're now going to perform a dilation and curettage surgery to stop the bleeding first before conducting a cervical biopsy on the tissue that is to be scraped off during the surgery.”
”What does that mean?” Chi Rui'er asked in fear and bewilderment.
”It means we're going to check for cancerous cells in your uterine lining and cervix,” the gynecologist explained while scribbling on a receipt, which she then handed to Chi Rui'er. ”Please make payment outside before coming back for the surgery.”
Chi Rui'er grabbed the receipt and felt like she was at a loss for what to do.
She turned around to make her payment outside, overwhelmed with nervousness and anxiety throughout.
I'm still so young. I've yet to even hit the big 30. I'm not going to get cancer, she attempted to comfort herself silently in her head.
After paying up, she entered the labor ward where she removed her pants and laid onto the hospital bed.
”Is it going to hurt a lot?”
”No, because I've given you a shot of anesthesia,” the doctor explained.
Chi Rui'er felt a slight sense of relief, though her tension had yet to easen up.
She grabbed onto the sides of the bed tightly.
