284: Discovery

[T/N: I should just stop making promises. Like, ever :/    ]

Room No. 302 was not a private ward. There was another pregnant man in the room besides Yuan Xia, and he was already nine months along the way. Because his partner was worried about him, he was admitted to the hospital one month in advance for fear of something unexpected happening. Men did not get pregnant like women and had no birth canal to conceive their children naturally, so they could only give birth to children by cesarean section. Eric asked the nurse to arrange Yuan Xia and the other pregnant man in the same ward so that they could share their experiences. When Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng came to the door of the ward, a woman was standing next to Yuan Xia’s bed, warmly speaking with him.

This woman was Jiang Xuan’s mother. Originally, she didn’t approve of Yuan Xia being with her son, and even bothered them about it. However, ever since she learned that Yuan Xia was willing to do IVF for her son, she had no problem with him. Any trace of disapproval she felt for Yuan Xia turned into joy.

Mother Jiang hadn’t actually been dissatisfied with Yuan Xia. He had a gentle personality and was quite thoughtful, always treating her like his own mother. Though her son sometimes ignored her for work, Yuan Xia always remembered to care for her. There was a reason why she didn’t want her son to be with a man, and it wasn’t because she didn’t like Yuan Xia, but because she thought her son’s bloodline would be extinct in the future. This caused her to have a lump in her heart. This lump lasted until three days ago, when she heard her son say that Yuan Xia was undergoing IVF operation for their Jiang family. After the operation was successful, the lump she felt disappeared completely.

Mother Jiang lost all hope once she heard that her son would have no bloodline, but the two ended up giving her such a big surprise. Since then, Mother Jiang accepted Yuan Xia from the bottom of her heart.

Mother Jiang had been hanging around Yuan Xia’s bed since yesterday. She continuously asked him how he was doing, and not only did she ask the doctor what he needed to pay attention to during pregnancy, but she also made him all three meals and brought them to the hospital, saying that outside food was unhygienic. She was even more concerned about him than Jiang Xuan was.

"Yuan Xia, what do you want to eat this afternoon? Your mother will cook it for you," Mother Jiang stared at him lovingly.

Yuan Xia didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. When he saw Wang Cheng, he acted as if he’d seen his savior. "Mother, my friend has come to visit. You can decide what’s for lunch, I'm not picky."

"Alright. Don't let yourself get too tired, you are pregnant now. If you don't rest well, it might affect the child in your belly. Anyway, I will leave now." Mother Jiang gave a few words of advice before leaving.

Yuan Xia saw Wang Cheng's teasing expression and explained: "My mother is just too concerned. Now that she is looking forward to meeting her grandchild, she has become so enthusiastic.”

"It's a good thing to have elders caring for you, there are others who wish for the same thing." Wang Cheng sat next to the bed. Yuan Xia himself probably didn't realize that his own expression was very happy now, and Wang Cheng was also happy for him.

Yuan Xia joked: "Then you should also hurry up and get a baby."

Wang Cheng coughed twice, "Let’s talk about this later, I’m not concerned about this aspect for the time being." And he really didn't understand the appeal of a child. As a man, he found it strange being told by others to quickly give birth to a child.

"Even if you’re not concerned now, you might be in the future." Yuan Xia didn’t think that Wang Cheng would be easily accepted to be together with a man who had such a powerful family. Big families paid more attention to reputation and offspring, so he had a hunch that Wang Cheng would be doing the IVF procedures in the future.

Wang Cheng touched his nose.

Chu Yifeng smiled meaningfully.

Mother Jiang probably notified Jiang Xuan before leaving, because as Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng were about to leave, Jiang Xuan came. It seemed that the mother and son took turns guarding Yuan Xia.

Yesterday, the pregnant man on the nearby bed had been teasing Yuan Xia that they were being too nervous. However, he was also very envious. After all, everyone wanted to be cared about.

"I’ve suddenly discovered that babies have a special power that can affect the relationship between people. They’ll not only allow parents to accept a male daughter-in-law, but will also enhance and strengthen the relationship between the couple." The two exited the hospital. As they walked away, Wang Cheng felt a little emotional when he thought of the scene they’d seen in the hospital room.

When Chu Yifeng heard these words, he smiled and said, "So in order to enhance the relationship between us, will you consider doing the IVF?"

Wang Cheng elbowed him then gave him a threatening look. "Do we still need a child to strengthen our relationship? Besides, aren't you afraid that the child will stick to me after they are born?"

Chu Yifeng didn't speak, but there was an obvious smile in his eyes.

“And why would they stick to you?"

Wang Cheng knew what he was referring to the moment Chu Yifeng began to smile, and he retorted, "Even if you are very popular with children, our own child may not like you."

"Do you want to give birth and check?" Chu Yifeng said.

Wang Cheng gave him a glance, "Don't even think of baiting me, I won't be fooled by such tricks."

Chu Yifeng stifled a laugh and said, "You’re obviously the one who brought it up first."

Wang Cheng didn't hesitate anymore, "Anyway, we’ll discuss these things in the future." After speaking, he strode forward.

Chu Yifeng took a couple steps forward and put an arm around his shoulder. It looked as if he was saying comforting words in Wang Cheng’s ear, but he was soon slapped away. The two walked to the parking lot as they continued to quarrel.

When the car disappeared past the entrance of the hospital, a man walked out and looked towards the direction they disappeared. After a while, a woman walked up to the man.

"Wei Wei, what are you looking at?"

The man was Wei Wei. Because Wang Cheng seldom went to bars and clubs or other places to play, he had not seen Wei Wei for a long time. Who knew that he would appear at Central Hospital to witness the lively scene of him quarreling with Chu Yifeng?

Wei Wei did not respond to her, still thinking of the scene he had seen just now. His expression looked as if he saw something unexpected.

"Wei Wei, are you listening to me?" The woman was a little upset when she saw how he ignored her, and she grabbed his arm and swung it twice. Wei Wei finally recovered, his expression impatient. "I heard you, what did the doctor say?"

The woman finally smiled. "The doctor said that I am indeed pregnant, it’s been three weeks."

"Abort it."

"What?" The woman's expression froze.

Wei Wei said in disgust: "I said, abort the child."

He got together with this woman over a month ago. Wei Wei was very excited just after getting with her and forgot to wear a condom when he first did it. He didn’t expect to get her pregnant after only doing it twice. The woman happily rushed over yesterday, telling him all about the pregnancy. However, Wei Wei only found it troublesome. The only reason they came to the hospital today was to make sure that it wasn’t true. And if it was, he didn't plan to keep the child.

"Why do you want to abort it, don't you want a child?" The woman let go of his hand, her expression disbelieving.

“This was all just for fun. Can’t you tell that there is a reason why I’m only doing this on impulse and not on purpose? It’s because when I, Wei Wei, get married in the future, my spouse will definitely not be you." Wei Wei had lost interest in her for some time - in fact, he had not contacted her for a week. He wouldn't have bothered to care about this woman at all if she hadn’t suddenly talked to him about her pregnancy.

"You bastard." The woman hatefully slapped him before running away.

Wei Wei was quite angry. That stinky woman dared to hit him? Since they were in public, he didn't dare to chase after her. However, when he thought of the scene he’d just witnessed, he wasn't so angry anymore. He’d finally caught Wang Cheng's handle, there was no way he could resist defeat this time. Wei Wei put the matters of that woman aside and invited Zhao Chenlin out in the evening.

Zhao Chenlin wasn’t as spirited as usual recently, but no one dared to underestimate the grandson of the Zhou family. After all, his parents still held important positions in the Zhou family and very few people know that he was expelled from his family. He took advantage of the fact that he was no longer required to go back to the Zhou house, and at night, he often went to various sensual places with his group of friends, including Wei Wei among others.

Zhao Chenlin thought that Wei Wei was looking to have some fun, and that’s why he accepted the invitation. He didn't know that it would only be the two of them in the box, and no women to accompany the wine.

"What the hell are we doing? Why are you the only one here?"

Wei Wei ignored his attitude. He picked up a bottle and poured a glass of red wine for him. “Don’t be so quick to anger. I promise that you’ll feel your trip here was worth it after you hear what I have to say. Take this glass of wine, make sure to drink it slowly."

When Zhao Chenlin heard this, he suppressed his temper and took a sip of the red wine from the glass. "Let's talk. What's the matter?"

"Guess who I met at Central Hospital today?" Wei Wei said, mysteriously.

"Who?"

Wei Wei said: "Zhou Cheng."

Zhao Chenlin impatiently replied: "What's so strange about meeting him in the hospital? Could it be that he also made a woman pregnant?"

Wei Wei was not provoked, and answered: "This is more serious than a woman’s belly; the person who was with him was a man. At first, I thought they were friends, but they seemed to be unusually close."

Zhao Chenlin was stunned, "You mean to say, Wang Cheng is a homosexual? Are you sure you are not mistaken?"

"There is absolutely no mistake with what I saw. I could clearly see that the man was holding Zhou Cheng's shoulders. The two were very close, definitely that kind of relationship. Maybe they went to the hospital to check for some sexually transmitted disease," Wei Wei said excitedly - he felt that his prediction was most likely true..

"Have you checked?" Zhao Chenlin became a little excited. If this was true, then God had sent him a good opportunity to knock Zhou Cheng down.

"No, but I don't think I’m that far off the mark. It’ll probably be useless to investigate because they wouldn’t use their own names to enter the hospital."

Central Hospital was not an ordinary hospital, after all, and Wei Wei was not really sure that they had gone to check for some disease. But Zhao Chenlin still said: "Your news is very useful."

He had suddenly remembered something. Zhou Cheng often avoided staying overnight at the Zhou house. He used to think that it was because he was not used to staying there, but now that he thought of it, Zhou Cheng was probably living with that man.
