Chapter 1009 - 808: Change (2)
Besides this, she also wants to quickly return to the port to see what’s really going on with her factory, whether Miao Miao was bought by Mei Langchi, or if she was deceived by him. If he deceived her, it would be easier to deal with. If Miao Miao was really bought, then it becomes difficult. She might be left with nothing by Mei Langchi’s actions.
At that moment, she might really not be able to stand up anymore.
Ye Qing is burning with anxiety, although very tired, she lies there wide awake, and within an hour, blisters start to appear at the corners of her mouth.
Ye Qing’s suspicions were correct. Mei Langchi didn’t feel safe leaving her alone for too long, and he returned not long after noon.
And upon returning, he immediately asked her to take medicine, but seeing the blisters on her mouth, he was startled.
"What’s wrong with your mouth? How did this happen in just half a day?"
Ye Qing’s hair was messy, and she muttered absent-mindedly, "I don’t know either. Langchi, is there something wrong with the medicine I’m taking? Isn’t it supposed to treat my illness? But after taking it, all I want to do is sleep. Look at me now, I’m burning. Should I stop taking it for a while?"
"These blisters might have appeared because you’ve been careless with your diet these two days, just drink more water later. Also, you can’t skip the medicine even once, otherwise, the illnesses that are just starting to improve will relapse. Darling, take the medicine first, the doctor said that it’s normal to feel sleepy after taking it. Don’t worry about it, let’s continue for a month, and after this month, we’ll reduce the dosage a bit, things will get better. I’ve noticed you’ve been much better these days, haven’t forgotten anything lately, have you?"
Mei Langchi patiently coaxed Ye Qing, not knowing that his words had terrified her.
A month, if she keeps taking the medicine, something is bound to go wrong by then.
"Hurry and take these few pills, the bottle is almost empty. I’ll go get another one for you." Mei Langchi said as he got up and went into the room.
Ye Qing quickly seized the moment and tossed the two pills under the bed, pretending to gulp down a mouthful of water.
But she wasn’t worried about the remaining pills because she had already switched them.
She didn’t know Mei Langchi’s intentions, she could only cope like this, observe him in secret, and try to understand what he was planning.
How frightening, she had lived with Mei Langchi for years, thinking she understood him, but it turned out she didn’t know the man at all.
"Come on, take two more. Have you had lunch? If not, I’ll go buy something outside for you."
"Hmm, I want roasted duck and braised pork knuckles from that place in Goat Alley." Ye Qing said deliberately, Goat Alley is quite a way off from their house.
Mei Langchi hesitated but didn’t argue, then he chuckled, "You just said you’re having inflammation, how can you eat these things? I’ll get you something lighter."
"...Oh, alright, then get me the noodle soup from the place next door to them."
"...Alright, alright, I’ll go right now." Such a long way for noodle soup, it might be cold by the time I get back, but since she wants it, I’ll buy it for her.
"Hmm" Ye Qing watched Mei Langchi, smiling sweetly.
Mei Langchi cooperatively held her close, appearing as a loving couple, making people envious.
But it didn’t take even a minute for his expression to change in a moment.
After Mei Langchi left, Ye Qing stared at the medicine he brought, dazed for a long time.
She discovered that after taking the medicine, she began to feel sleepy again, even though she had switched them, probably due to side effects that couldn’t be mitigated for now.
When Mei Langchi returned and found Ye Qing lying in bed, sound asleep, he felt assured.
...
"Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the hospital for an examination" Han Yi returned, it was already after dinner.
"Okay, there’s not much happening tomorrow anyway." They’ve been here for a while, it’s time for a check-up.
These days, her belly noticeably grew larger, and her feet were terribly swollen.
"Why did you drink again today?" As Han Yi approached, Lin Wan caught a whiff of alcohol.
"Went out for socializing, it’s hard to avoid. But I didn’t drink much. Don’t worry, I’m not drunk. Where’s Xingxing?"
"Xingxing has gone to sleep, played in the yard all afternoon, got tired as soon as it got dark."
"We promised to take Little Star out to play, so after visiting the hospital tomorrow, I’ll take us for a walk. I heard that *** Alley is bustling."
"Alright."
Who would’ve thought, the next day before dawn, it started pouring outside.
A couple of snowfalls in previous days weren’t as cold as this rain.
If dressed lightly, stepping outside, the biting wind could pierce right through a person.
Too cold with rain falling, it’s impossible to go out, Han Yi took Little Star to Chen Haichang’s place and brought Lin Wan to the hospital for a routine check-up.
The fetal position was still correct, it’s already been eight months. The baby is in the growth stage these two months.
The doctor advised paying more attention to nutrition.
At this time, all the vegetable markets are closed, even the supply and marketing cooperative are on holiday, nothing to buy even if you want.
Luckily, there was plenty of chicken, duck, fish, and meat prepared before the New Year. When they returned at noon, Han Yi cooked a fish, sitting around the fire, having a hotpot meal with Chen Haichang.
It rained all day, and the next day it iced over, even colder. Their family of three didn’t go out at all.
On the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, when the weather got a bit better, Han Yi took his wife and Little Star to several lively places in the Capital City.
It was bustling here with various snacks and performances. Little Star wasn’t afraid of the cold, too excited to leave.
.....
On the fifth day, Mr. Mei called them all over, wanting to have a reunion dinner together. After this day, Junzi and Han Yi’s family would return to their respective departments.
Even Chen Haichang was likely to return.
That night, in the study, Old Mei solemnly apologized to Chen Haichang, almost kneeling before him.
Hoping Chen Haichang could stay quiet for two years, if he couldn’t let go of past grievances, he was willing to take responsibility for everything.
And not let it involve the rest of the Mei family.
