Chapter 649: Slap Yourself! She Is Forget Chuan! (4)

Xia Nuannuan shook her head. “It’s nothing. My stomach has been acting up. It’s nothing serious.”

With a wave of her hand, she stood up straight and let Qiao Lian lead her out of the restroom.

As they walked out, they saw Xia Yehua standing near the doorway, giving Xia Nuannuan a strange look. She asked, “Have. You. Had. Your. Period. This. Month?”

Xia Yehua’s speech was slurred due to the stroke. However, she made an effort to say those words one at a time, clearly.

With a blank look, Xia Nuannuan shook her head at the question and said, “No, I haven’t.”

Then, as though suddenly realizing something, her expression changed.

With a look of disbelief, her gaze fell on her own abdomen.

Still looking at her intently, Xia Yehua asked again, “Then. Are. You. Pregnant?”

Color drained from Xia Nuannuan’s face.

Qiao Lian held Xia Yehua and said, “Mom, Nuannuan doesn’t have a boyfriend.”

A sudden look of realization appeared on Xia Yehua’s face. “Then. Surely. It’s. Not. It. Must. Be. Her. Stomach. Go. To. The. Hospital. For. A. Checkup.”

Xia Nuannuan shook her head and said immediately, “I- I can go by myself. Aunt Xia, please don’t worry.”

As soon as she said this, she went upstairs.

After a short while, she came back downstairs with her bag. “Sister Qiao Lian, Aunt Xia, I have something to attend to, I need to leave for a bit.”

Qiao Lian was puzzled as she watched Xia Nuannuan leave the house.

But there was only so much she could ask without prying into the girl’s private affairs. After all, she wasn’t part of the family.

She then helped Xia Yehua to her seat at the dining table as they got ready for dinner.

Just as she sat down, her cell phone rang.

She picked up the call and heard an unfamiliar voice say, “How do you do? I’m calling from Lot’s business office. May I know if you’re Coach Qiao from CQ Team?”

After a short pause, Qiao Lian nodded and said, “Yes, that’s me.”

“So, we are planning an activity and need photos for the occasion. We were wondering if it would be too much trouble for you to bring your team members and come to our office?”

Having won the Beijing regional competition, it was inevitable that all sorts of publicity would follow. There was no way to avoid this.

Hence, Qiao Lian nodded and asked, “Sure, what time are we expected to be there?

“How about the day after tomorrow?”

“Ok.”

Qiao Lian set her chopsticks aside after confirming the time and venue with the caller.

Since she had had no luck with her job hunt, she decided to drop by the clubhouse to have a look.

As the coach of this team, she had been irresponsible.

After dinner, Shen Liangchuan’s car finally pulled up.

He had been busy lately and had not been home for dinner.

Since he was coming home at this hour, he had not had dinner almost for certain.

Qiao Lian hurriedly instructed Auntie Li to heat up the food and accompanied Shen Liangchuan at the dining table as he ate.

Eating quickly yet in a refined manner, he was a pleasure to watch.

Qiao Lian stared at him with her chin resting on the back of her hand.

He picked up a prawn ball with his chopsticks. “Open your mouth.”

Qiao Lian did as she was told.

The fresh and juicy prawn ball was dropped into her mouth.

She chewed twice and swallowed it. Then, he did the same with the vegetables.

She immediately waved her hand and said, “I’ve eaten, I’m full to the brim.”

Raising an eyebrow, he asked, “Then why are you still staring at me?”

He had thought that she wanted more food.

She broke into a cheeky grin at his question and replied, “Because you are dashing!”

Shen Liangchuan: … Did that mean she was teasing him?
