After getting out of the car, Chu Nan reluctantly followed behind Lü Baoliang.

The path from the courtyard to the gate wasn't long, but it felt like it took a very, very long time.

The sound of the door closing after he entered the foyer was much deeper than he had imagined, making him hold his breath.

The living room is at the end of the entryway.

Before I even stepped inside, I could hear the sound of even exhalation that only occurs when the body is exerting force.

A woman is practicing yoga in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Backlit, the first thing you see is an outline delineated by the sunlight.

She looked exactly like the woman in the photo, but she was alive.

The woman was wearing a white sleeveless tank top with a low neckline that rested on her collarbone.

The black yoga pants clung to the skin, creating smooth lines from the waist to the ankles, like ink spreading across rice paper.

Her long hair was loosely tied back, with a few stray strands damp with sweat, clinging to the corner of her jaw.

As you slowly bend over, bring your chest to your knees and slide your arms forward along your ears.

His body then stretched into a taut arc, like a bowstring slowly drawn back, about to be released.

Her exposed lower abdomen and back, illuminated by the sunlight, resembled lustrous, translucent white jade.

"Honey, I'm home."

The woman turned her head and looked over.

Seeing that Chu Nan was following behind Lü Baoliang, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and she subconsciously used her arm to shield herself.

"Why didn't you tell me you were bringing someone back?"

The woman's voice carried a hint of reproach as she finished speaking and turned to go upstairs.

Lu Baoliang chuckled dryly twice, then gritted his teeth and sneered, "Stop pretending to be innocent. If you find out you're pregnant later, see how I deal with you!"

Realizing there were other people present, he changed his tune and said with a smile, "My wife is a bit shy, I hope you don't find this amusing."

Chu Nan chuckled twice without saying a word, his gaze wandering around, unsure where to look.

This mansion truly lives up to its name; the size of the living room alone is equivalent to an entire apartment for an average person.

The area where women practice yoga has excellent natural lighting.

Through the glass, you can see custom-made clothes racks, with a few lace garments hanging sparsely on them—

? !

Chu Nan was surprised to see something so private and quickly turned his head away.

When the woman reappeared, she was wearing loungewear.

Her hair was down, draped over her shoulders, and there was an indescribable charm in her every move.

"Who is this?"

"This is Dr. Chu from our community, and this is my wife, Jiang Yingxue."

After introducing himself, Lü Baoliang said to Jiang Yingxue with a solicitous look, "Didn't you say you weren't feeling well lately? I'll ask him to come and take a look at you and help you get some treatment."

"No need, I'm not sick."

After Jiang Yingxue decisively refused, she turned to go back into the house.

Lu Baoliang quickly stepped forward, wanting to reach out and pull him.

Just as he was about to touch it, he recoiled as if pricked by a needle.

Chu Nan stood behind and could see everything clearly.

Clearly, this Mr. Lü is not as domineering as he claims.

"Honey, I was away on a business trip for so long, and you didn't look well. It broke my heart to see you like that, so I brought Dr. Chu over as soon as I got back."

"Don't underestimate Dr. Chu just because he's young. He's a top student from Peking University Medical School."

"Besides, I've already paid for the home visit; I can't exactly ask them to refund it, can I?"

With that kind of silver tongue, no wonder he can be a big boss.

He clearly suspected his wife of cheating, but he managed to portray it as the loving care of a devoted husband.

Jiang Yingxue still looked resistant, "I don't like male doctors."

She even makes special appointments with female doctors when she goes to the hospital, as she simply cannot accept having a man take her pulse.

Lu Baoliang subtly gave Chu Nan a meaningful look.

Chu Nan knew in his heart that he had to take this pulse today, whether he wanted to or not.

Instead of dragging things out, it's better to cut the Gordian knot.

He took a deep breath and took a step forward. "Madam, rest assured, this is my medical license. I will absolutely not do anything out of line to you."

Chu Nan continued, "Have you been feeling very tired lately, have you lost your appetite, and are you feeling nauseous from time to time?"

Jiang Yingxue was visibly taken aback. "How did you know?"

Chu Nan's heart sank immediately.

These are all typical symptoms of early pregnancy.

It seems that Lü Baoliang wasn't just being paranoid; something really did happen.

He glanced at Lü Baoliang subconsciously.

Lu Baoliang stood beside her with a fawning expression, completely oblivious to her presence. "Wife, you see, I told you that Xiao Chu is really capable."

Jiang Yingxue didn't rush to agree, but instead asked, "What illness do I have?"

Chu Nan scratched his head. "Observation can only show the symptoms. To know the specific disease and what medicine to prescribe, we need to take the pulse."

Jiang Yingxue compromised, but when it was time to actually begin, her expression still showed some reluctance.

"Madam, please place your hand here."

She only placed her right hand on the pulse pillow after Chu Nan spoke.

Jiang Yingxue's hands were very white, with slender and long fingers.

The moment Chu Nan's fingers touched her, her body visibly stiffened.

The other person's slightly rough fingers were placed unabashedly on his wrist.

You can even clearly feel the temperature coming from your fingertips.

It stirred up a strange feeling in her heart that she couldn't quite explain.

Before I knew it, my entire earlobes had turned red.

Noticing this, Chu Nan paused for a moment before quickly looking away.

"Madam, have your tastes changed recently? For example, have you suddenly developed a craving for spicy or sour foods?"

Have you eaten anything cold lately? No? Do you have any discomfort in your lower abdomen? Like bloating or dull pain?

Jiang Yingxue shook her head and denied it all.

Chu Nan did not relax; instead, he became even more tense.

A pregnancy pulse is usually slow and continuous, but Jiang Yingxue's pulse was slippery and strong, and her qi and blood were extremely vigorous. This pulse...

Forget about her being pregnant and having an affair; she seems more like a naive, inexperienced young girl!

When these thoughts popped into his head, Chu Nan's heart skipped a beat, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.

As I got off the bus, I comforted myself by saying I'd go in, get my pulse checked, and then leave.

Now look what's happened, this is a huge disaster!

"Dr. Chu, how is it?"

Lu Baoliang's voice suddenly rang out from behind.

Chu Nan carefully removed his fingers from Jiang Yingxue's wrist, feigning calmness as he said, "It's a minor issue, just liver qi stagnation. I'll prescribe some medicine, and you'll be fine after taking it a few times."

"I told you I wasn't sick, you're making a mountain out of a molehill."

Jiang Yingxue withdrew her hand, seemingly complaining, but actually just hiding the strange feeling in her heart.

"I'm just concerned about you."

Lu Baoliang chuckled and said generously, "Dr. Chu, you must prescribe the best medicine for my wife. Money is no object as long as she gets better!"

However, this cheerful attitude was immediately replaced by seriousness after they stepped outside: "Are you pregnant?"

"Not pregnant."

Are you sure?

"Sure."

Lu Baoliang finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I knew it was the right thing to do to come to you. If I had taken her to a big hospital, she definitely wouldn't be able to live like this."

"Thank you so much for your help this time. Please feel free to contact me if you need any assistance in the future."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the villa.

As the door closed, Chu Nan finally couldn't hold back any longer and almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

A married young woman actually acted like a teenage girl.

This matter is clearly far more complicated than imagined.

Lu Baoliang's words, "Contact me anytime," still echo in my ears.

Thinking about it sends chills down my spine.

What's the point of contacting them?!

It's best if we never see each other again in this lifetime.

He's a doctor at a small clinic; he can't withstand this kind of ordeal.

Chu Nan straightened up, with only one thought in his mind—go!

Before he could run two steps, he was suddenly hit by a wafting aroma!
