Ni Jiu (Intoxicated) - Chap 46
The doctor came to the villa on time in the afternoon.
“I’m in a good state of mind recently.” The doctor smiled at Shen Tingwei.
Shen Ting was not lying on the diagnosis and treatment bed, lifted up his clothes, revealing his slightly bulging belly, and answered the doctor’s words with a smile: “Well, I haven’t vomited anymore during this time, and I feel that my appetite has increased.”
Lian Jue stood next to him, looking at Shen Tingwei’s rounded belly in a trance. Hearing this, he couldn’t help recalling the meal just now, thinking that the ‘increased appetite’ in Shen Tingwei’s mouth contained exaggeration.
The doctor nodded: “It will be like this. It is said that the golden period of pregnant mothers begins at about four months of pregnancy. As the hormone secretion in the body becomes more and more vigorous, even the skin will get better and better.”
“It seems to be a little… and when I took a shower last night, I felt it was moving!” Shen Tingwei smiled, “It’s the kind that is very light, like… uh, Soda? It feels like the bubbles are popping lightly.”
Lian Jue rarely sees Shen Tingwei in such a state. In his memory, Shen Tingwei is not a lively person. Many times he is very quiet, and he does not make big movements or make loud noises. Gives a very gentle feeling. Only when talking about the child will there be some exposed pleasures that are not quite like him.
“Does it hurt?” the doctor asked.
Shen Ting did not shake his head and said, “No, it just feels a little fun.”
The doctor had a gentle expression on his face: “Then let’s first see what this little guy looks like now – Mr. Lian?” He looked at Lian Jue, who was still standing by the door, and asked, “You don’t want to come and have a look. ?”
The joy on Shen Tingwei’s face hadn’t completely faded away, he turned his eyes to look at Lian Jue, and Lian Jue’s pestle didn’t move.
Probably not interested in this kind of thing…
He didn’t want to embarrass Lianjue, so he said to the doctor, “It’s okay—” He was still stuck in the middle of the sentence, and Lianjue raised his legs and walked towards him.
The doctor kindly gave up the position in front of the machine, Lian Jue probably didn’t see it, and went straight to the bedside where Shen Tingwei was lying.
Lian Jue was very tall, and from the angle that Shen Ting did not look up at, he could only see his clear and strong jaw line and the smooth curvature of his chin.
Immediately after, Lian Jue lowered his head, and his handsome face was exposed to the light against the light.
“Mr. Shen, take it easy.” The doctor looked at the display of the machine, “A heart rate that is too fast will also affect the heart rate of the fetus.”
Shen Ting did not quickly retract his eyes, and replied in a low voice, “Ah.”
The appearance of the fetus clearly appeared on the screen. Shen Tingwei had seen it once before, and now there has been no particularly obvious change. He heard the doctor explain to Lian Jue the development of the fetus and the meaning of the various values. He turned his head and glanced at Lian Jue again. Lian Jue listened carefully, nodding his head in response from time to time, but his eyes were a little empty.
Shen Ting couldn’t help but think of the obstetrics and gynecology department she went to when she was pregnant. Lian Jue’s current appearance was very similar to the husbands she saw in the clinic at that time. The doctor explained the values ​​on the test sheet for them. Concentrated and confused.
Thanks to the shelter provided by Lian Jue and the nutritional products sent by Sanchawu, the examination results of the fetus were as positive as usual. After the inspection, Shen Ting didn’t pull up his clothes, and Lian Jue turned his arm to the side of him. He was stunned for a while, and quickly got up with Lian Jue’s arm.
The doctor was sorting out the used equipment, and suddenly stood up and looked at them: “Ah, almost forgot. Do you want to know the gender of the baby?”
“what.”
“In no mood.”
The two spoke at the same time and stopped at the same time.
Lian Jue looked at Shen Tingwei, Shen Tingwei looked into Lian Jue’s eyes, shook his head again, and said, “I don’t want to.”
It may have been stared for a long time, Shen Ting did not purse his lips, and his eyes were a little dodgy: “Can you not spoil this surprise in advance?”
The doctor looked at Lian Jue and seemed to be asking him what he meant. Lian Jue looked away from Shen Tingwei’s face and said, “No need.”
Shen Tingwei became a little depressed after saying that, until the doctor packed up his things and was about to leave, he sat on the bed with his head down slightly, and his eyes were a little straight at the striped slippers on his feet.
After Lian Jue sent the doctor away, Shen Tingwei had already closed the door of the consultation room and walked out.
Shen Tingwei looked at Lian Jue, showing some uneasy emotions on his face, and asked, “Do you want a boy?”
In his world, differentiation came late, and gender discrimination still exists. Male Alphas often have the best social resources, followed by female Alphas. He still doesn’t fully understand this world, and only learns from movies, TV shows and books. The situation is also similar, and from the reaction of Lian Jue just now, it is inevitable to be a little worried.
Lian Jue glanced at him, his expression did not change, he said slowly, “I didn’t say that.”
Shen Tingwei nodded slowly and said nothing.
After a few seconds, Lian Jue suddenly said, “It’s fine.”
Shen Ting didn’t raise his head again, and Lian Jue looked at him, but his eyes were fluttering as if they weren’t real, as if to dispel his concerns, he repeated: “It’s okay.”
Shen Tingwei looked at his back as he turned upstairs, and suddenly felt that the icy coldness that he had felt from Lian Jue in the past had dissipated a little. It seems that all the inhuman feelings of Lian Jue in the past have been hidden, but at this moment, a hazy tenderness suddenly appeared.
Shen Tingwei suddenly thought, Lian Jue is actually really special, and even his gentle appearance has a sense of indifference.
Lian Jue didn’t stay in the study room on the second floor for too long, and when he went downstairs again, he had a stack of documents in his hand.
Shen Tingwei had just planned a rest and activity area for the cat. Seeing Lian Jue returning to the sofa and sitting down, he guessed the reason.
During this period of time, Shen Tingwei lived alone. The study and bedroom were considered too private spaces. It was inconvenient for him to go in and clean them, so a lot of dust must have been generated for so long.
After thinking about it, he explained it to Lian Jue.
Lian Jue only responded, meaning that he knew it, so he looked down at the information and didn’t speak again.
Lin Chen arrived half an hour later. The study, which has not been used for several months, is really not a good place to talk about things. The two of them just stayed in the living room to talk.
Shen Ting didn’t feel that it was too inappropriate for him to stay beside him on this occasion, so he carried the cat back to the room.
The kitten was curious about his room. He came here to sniff it, and then went there to touch it. He sat on the chair and looked at the kitten, and he liked it tightly.
Seeing the kitten squatting beside his bed, he wanted to jump on it, so he hurried over to pick up the kitten, pretended to be fierce, and pointed his finger at the kitten’s nose: “Don’t go to bed, Otherwise, I’ll throw you outside to feed the big bad wolf.”
The kitten shrugged its neck and gave him a “meow”, with a thin and soft voice, and stared at him with a pair of round amber eyes, looking pitiful.
Shen Tingwei was so cute that his heart was about to melt, he took it into his arms and rubbed his head: “Afraid of the big bad wolf?”
When he said this, thinking that the people outside were Lian Jue, he suddenly wanted to laugh.
In fact, after getting along for a long time, Shen Ting did not find that Lian Jue’s personality was not very fierce, and he could see his temper occasionally, but he was deliberately suppressing it. The main reason is that his eye sockets are deep and his brow bones are sharp, and he always seems to be a little arrogant.
He laughed silently for a while, then fell silent again. He looked at the kitten walking around at his feet, and couldn’t help but recall one night, Lianjue’s inexplicable WeChat message asking him if he liked cats, and then Think, why did he deliberately mention “no Toxoplasma” just now?
The kitten squatted down in front of the toes of his shoes and barked at him again.
Shen Ting didn’t squat down and patted the kitten’s head. He couldn’t help but wonder: … So, is it a gift?
The kitten rubbed the palm of his hand with its fat side face, and let out a soft cry.
Shen Tingwei felt that he might be a little self-indulgent. He lowered his head and looked at the kitten in front of him, and asked warmly, “What’s the matter? Are you hungry?”
The cat food Lian Jue brought was outside. He walked around the room and found nothing for the kitten to eat. The cat followed him and meowed. Shen Tingwei had no choice but to sigh and say to it, “Honey, wait a minute, I’ll go out and get you cat food.”
He walked out of the room lightly and slowly, Lian Jue and Lin Chen were still talking in the living room, a few stacks of paper were spread out on the coffee table, and some video was still playing on the laptop. Before Shen Ting’s steps were lighter, he raised his head and looked for cat food bags everywhere in the living room.
As soon as he came out of the room, Lian Jue noticed it, probably seeing that his tiptoe was too awkward, so he paused the conversation and asked him, “What are you looking for?”
Shen Tingwei looked at him and answered truthfully: “Cat food. The kitten seems to be hungry and keeps barking.”
“At the table.” Lian Jue said.
Shen Tingwei looked at the dining table, and sure enough, he saw a lake blue sealed bag, and quickly said, “Oh, good.”
The conversation between Lian Jue and Lin Chen was not interrupted for too long. The two quickly regained their attention and returned to work.
When Shen Tingwei walked to the room with the cat food and the food bowl, he vaguely heard Lin Chen saying words such as “can’t be transferred” and “property frozen”. He hesitated a little, and Lin Chen glanced at him quickly , did not continue to say.
Lian Jue pondered for a moment, before Shen Ting returned to the room and closed the door, he heard him say, “I’ll think of a way.”
Shen Ting sat back on the chair before pouring cat food for the cat, and pondered what he had just heard.
If he guessed correctly, Lin Chen should have said that during Lian Jue’s nearly one-month detention, his property and company accounts were temporarily frozen, causing problems with the company’s capital chain.
After coming to this conclusion, Shen Tingwei hardly thought, got up and took out a bank card from the small compartment in the wardrobe.
He had never seen the stock and house book that Lin Chen had mentioned before. They might be in Lian Jue’s place or someone else would keep them.
All he had in his hand was this bank card. He didn’t know how much money was in it, and he didn’t know how much property he had in his name, whether it was enough for emergency help, but he still thought of taking it out for the first time.
For no other reason, he had no intention of taking Lianjue a penny. Not to mention whether he has any use for so much money, just what Lian Jue has done for him so far—let him come to this world empty-handed and have a stable and worry-free life. He is no longer in love with him.
Lian Jue and Lin Chen chatted outside for a long time, but Shen Ting didn’t pay attention until someone knocked on his door.
Shen Ting did not restrain his thoughts just now, walked over and opened the door.
Lin Chen stood at the door and said to him, “Mr. Shen, what a disturbance, let’s go back first.”
Shen Tingwei nodded and replied “Okay”, looking past him, looking at Lian Jue who had already got up from the sofa, as if he was going to leave soon, he hurriedly called out to him: “Mr. Lian!”
Lin Chen wisely stepped aside, Shen Ting did not walk up to Lian Jue, and handed Lian Jue the bank card that he had been holding for a long time and was warmed by his body.
He quickly glanced at Lian Jue and lowered his eyes again: “I don’t know how much you still need… Here are the ones you gave me before, you can use them first.”
Lian Jue didn’t reach out to take the bank card in his hand, but looked at Shen Tingwei’s face with slightly lowered eyes.
Lin Chen looked at Lian Jue before saying anything.
It wasn’t just Shen Tingwei who thought of this, Lin Chen knew the number in this bank card, plus the stock that had been transferred to Shen Tingwei before, it was not a good choice for emergency use.
But he has always been good at trying to figure out Lian Jue’s mind. He wanted to mention this matter to Lian Jue several times just now. Seeing that Lian Jue didn’t mean to answer, he knew that Lian Jue would definitely not want to touch the money, so he replaced Lian Jue. Zuo opened his mouth: “Mr. Shen, this is the marriage guarantee provided to you by President Lian. You can keep it.”
Shen Ting was not able to fully understand what he meant, thinking that he was trying to say that the money was far from enough to fill their current vacancy, he hesitated again and again, but made a decision.
Lian Jue looked at him and raised his face slightly, frowned slightly, and looked at himself: “If it’s still not enough…”
Lian Jue never thought of taking back what was given, but at this moment, he looked at Shen Tingwei’s worried expression, and was suddenly curious about what he would come up with. So he looked at Shen Tingwei quietly and said nothing.
Shen Tingwei asked in an uncertain tone that seemed to be negotiating with him, “Why don’t you sell this house first?”
“This…” Lin Chen was taken aback. He did not expect that Shen Tingwei would propose to sell the house. Lianjue decided very early on that the house would be left to Shen Ting who was not expecting to live in the future, so he transferred the house to Shen Tingwei as soon as possible after the registration. What’s more, it’s just that the company’s funds are temporarily unable to turn around, and it has not reached this point at all.
What surprised him even more was that, after watching Shen Ting for a while, Lian Jue first took the bank card from him, and then quickly said, “En.”
