Jing Yao avoided her gaze. “I’m quite busy this month. 1 don’t have time to go.”

Zhu Ling glared at her. “Busy my ass. Do you think I don’t know that you’ve been idle at Liang Xun’s house this month? You didn’t do anything at all.”

Jing Yao looked at Zhu Ling ingratiatingly. “Lingling, 1 feel that I’ve recovered. There’s no need to see a doctor anymore.”

Zhu Ling did not waver at all. “It’s not up to you to decide if you’re good or not. The doctor has to say it.”

Jing Yao pursed her lips. “How about this? I’ll go after the recording of this show is over, okay?”

Zhu Ling’s expression finally improved a little. “Sure, you’d better keep your word. By the way, do you take your medicine every day?”

Jing Yao nodded hurriedly. “Yes, yes.”

Zhu Ling pondered for a moment. “No, I think we should prioritize treatment. Doctor Tang gave you your medicine according to the amount. It’s gone now, right? You should look for Doctor Tang tomorrow. I’ll go with you.”

Jing Yao panicked. Actually, she had not taken that medicine for a long time.

Ever since she found out that she was pregnant, she did not dare to eat anymore. Who would dare to take medicine when she was pregnant? Moreover, she did not want Liang Xun to know about this.

“Lingling, don’t be in such a hurry. You’re so busy every day, and I have to go for a prenatal checkup tomorrow. I don’t have time to come.”

Zhu Ling sized up Jing Yao carefully. “1 keep feeling that you’re hiding something from me.”

Jing Yao shook her head like a rattle drum. “How is that possible? I’ve always trusted you the most.”

Zhu Ling finally nodded. She put away the doubts in her heart. “How about this? You go for a prenatal checkup tomorrow. I’ll go to Doctor Tang to get your medicine and send it to you.”

Jing Yao opened her mouth but couldn’t refute in the end. She could only nod.

Jing Yao didn’t stay in the studio for long. On one hand, the renovation here had just been completed, and the smell inside wasn’t good. Moreover, it wasn’t good for her health to smell too much of it. On the other hand, it was almost her nap time.

She returned home and hurriedly threw the bottle of medicine that she had not taken many times into the trash can.

At night, the auntie prepared dinner when Liang Xun returned home. Before she left, she thought of taking away the trash.

Jing Yao and Liang Xun sat at the dining table and ate. As they ate, the auntie suddenly came over with a medicine bottle. “Mr. Liang, Miss Jing, don’t you want this medicine?”

Jing Yao panicked. “Uh, no, no. This medicine has expired. It can’t be eaten.”

The auntie did not suspect anything. She threw the medicine back into the trash bag and left after saying goodbye.

Jing Yao heaved a sigh of relief. She looked up and saw Liang Xun sizing her up with deep eyes. She smiled awkwardly.

Liang Xun did not return her smile like before. Instead, he said in a low voice, “What medicine is that?”

Jing Yao said after two seconds, “Gastric medicine. I’ve bought it for a long time.”

Liang Xun raised his eyebrows and did not believe her. “Then why were you panicking just now?”

Jing Yao pursed her lips. “I’m not panicking.”

Liang Xun knew that he would not be able to get anything out of her. He sighed slightly in his heart. “You have to pay special attention to your body now. Tell me quickly if you feel uncomfortable, understand?”

Jing Yao nodded immediately and said obediently, “I know.”

“Let’s eat. 1’11 bring you to the prenatal checkup tomorrow.” Liang Xun scooped a spoonful of egg soup into her bowl.

Although Liang Xun didn’t continue this topic, he didn’t look too good. Jing Yao felt a little guilty and said softly, “I’m sorry.”

Liang Xun frowned. “Why are you apologizing?”

Jing Yao looked at him apologetically and was caught between laughter and tears. “1 don’t know either.”

“…” Liang Xun.

Sometimes, Jing Yao really confuses him. No matter what happened, it was clearly not her fault. She must be the first to apologize, and she was always afraid of troubling him.

At first, he thought that it was because they were not familiar with each other, but after so long, this situation did not get much better. This was obviously abnormal.

“Um,” Jing Yao said excitedly. “Liang Xun, I suddenly realized that my stomach is a little bigger today. Do you think the baby has grown?”

This change of topic was very successful. Liang Xun was no longer as dull and cold as before. There was a smile in his eyes. “It’s going to be three months soon. This is very normal. It means that the baby is developing very well. Moreover, I’ve long discovered it.”

Jing Yao was stunned for a moment. She wanted to ask Liang Xun if he wanted to touch it, but after hearing Liang Xun’s words, she immediately realized that Liang Xun had to touch her stomach every day. In the past, he would touch it when he woke up every morning. Now, no matter what time it was, he had to touch it whenever he thought of it.

In the beginning, she would tense up when Liang Xun placed his hand on her stomach. Now, she no longer does that..
