Because she was addicted

In the room, Wen Jia picked up a mop and mopped the spot where Shen Yu had stood several times before she felt the floor was a little cleaner.

"Acting? Who are you acting for?"

She sat down, and Lu Chenyan's WeChat message arrived.

"The medicine has been delivered to your door, please take it."

"it is good."

This time, Wen Jia looked through the peephole to make sure only the delivery guy was at the door before opening it to get the medicine.

"Got it."

"Okay, remember to take your medicine and go to bed early." Lu Chenyan sent a sleeping kitten emoji.

"it is good."

Wen Jia obediently agreed, turned off her phone, and picked up her laptop.

……

The next day, Lu Chenyan did not come to work.

Wen Jia was a little worried about him. "Is the situation very difficult? Is there anything I can do to help?"

She couldn't help but send Lu Chenyan a WeChat message.

"It's nothing serious, don't worry, I'll handle it."

Lu Chenyan replied quickly.

"Um."

Since Lu Chenyan said it was nothing serious, Wen Jia stopped worrying. She focused on her work and took some time to thoroughly study Professor Fang's research paper.

……

Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Haicheng Hospital.

After examining the ultrasound, the doctor turned to Gu Nan, who was wearing a mask and oversized sunglasses, and said:

"Miss, the test results show you are not pregnant."

"My period hasn't come for over a month, and I'm also experiencing acid reflux and nausea!" Gu Nan said anxiously, her upper body almost slumped over the doctor's desk, tightly gripping the doctor's arm.

"A delayed period doesn't necessarily mean you're pregnant. It could also be due to excessive work stress or hormonal imbalances caused by frequent use of emergency contraception."

The doctor glanced at Gu Nan and silently withdrew his hand.

Although the woman in front of me was wearing sunglasses and a mask, which covered most of her face, it was still obvious at a glance that she was very beautiful. She exuded charm in every gesture, and the clothes and accessories she wore were all very expensive.

Such women often have questionable relationships with men.

I've seen many doctors.

"As for acid reflux and nausea, I suggest you see a gastroenterologist for a checkup."

The doctor started collecting the data and prepared to call the next patient.

But Gu Nan pressed down on the back of his hand, and said slowly but with great certainty:

"Doctor, I'm pregnant. Two months pregnant."

"What?" The doctor didn't understand at first and thought he had encountered a mental patient. Just as he was about to suggest that she see a psychiatrist, Gu Nan said:

"Doctor, I just need an ultrasound report, for a two-month-old baby. I'll give you this price."

Gu Nan drew a considerable sum of money in the doctor's palm.

……

Holding the confirmation of her pregnancy, Gu Nan stood in the hospital corridor.

She is twenty-nine.

I'm not young anymore.

With her looks and some cunning, she climbed her way up in the M Group for many years and finally became the director of public relations. But now that she's getting old and her looks have faded, plenty of young, beautiful, and ambitious girls are lining up to oust her from that position.

She needs to find a man to settle down with.

Shen Yu is quite good.

Shen Yu is a native of Haicheng, and his ancestors were merchants who amassed a considerable fortune. Both of his parents were high-ranking officials in Haicheng, and his family was well-off. Shen Yu himself was handsome, dashing, young, and wealthy.

Although not a particularly wealthy or powerful family, they were still considered upper-class and respectable members of Haicheng society.

If she can successfully marry into the Shen family, she will have successfully gotten out of trouble.

This fictitious child was the key to her gaining access to the Shen family.

Just as I was about to leave, I caught a glimpse of a familiar figure flashing past not far away.

"Lu Chenyan?"

Lu Chenyan was seen clutching a stack of papers, his face grave, as he hurried into a building behind the building.

"Maternity ward?"

Gu Nan glanced at the sign; the road led to the maternity ward at the back.

"What is Lu Chenyan doing in the maternity ward?"

Gu Nan adjusted her sunglasses and quietly followed.

……

Around 5 p.m., the sky darkened.

"Boom!"

A loud rumble of thunder boomed, dark clouds rolled in outside, and a torrential downpour began.

"Ugh, it's almost time to get off work and it's raining heavily, it's so annoying."

Yimo frowned as she looked out the window at the torrential rain.

"Didn't the weather forecast say there wouldn't be any rain? I didn't bring an umbrella. Jiajia, did you bring one?"

Wen Jia shook her head.

"With such heavy rain, even with an umbrella, you'd get soaked to the bone."

"Never mind, I'll call Li Han and ask him to come pick me up."

Yi Mo picked up her phone with a sweet smile.

Li Han is her boyfriend. Not long ago, the two of them pooled their money to make a down payment on a car and were planning to buy a house to prepare for marriage. The two of them were very much in love.

"Jiajia, I'll have Li Han take you home later."

"I couldn't possibly accept that."

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, it was just something I did on the way. It's strange, I don't know where President Lu went today, shouldn't this be the time for him to show his boyfriend skills?"

Yimo muttered.

Wen Jia glanced at her phone. She had been busy all day and hadn't had time to contact Lu Chenyan, and Lu Chenyan hadn't sent her a WeChat message either.

It seems things aren't as easy to handle as he made them out to be; they're probably a bit tricky.

I'm a little worried about him.

When he left last night, the other party called him so urgently, and he looked unwell.

But he said he was fine.

They dared not ask too many questions, for fear of crossing the line.

Wen Jia felt conflicted, but managed a smile. "Alright, I'll be a third wheel today."

Before I knew it, it was time to leave work.

The rain outside the window showed no sign of letting up. It was as dark as night, and the neon lights on the street were all lit up. It was as if the sky had leaked, and the heavy rain poured down.

Wen Jia packed her things and left work. She and Yi Mo went downstairs at the company building to wait for Li Han. There were also many female colleagues waiting for their cars nearby.

Time ticked by, but Li Han's car still hadn't appeared in the heavy rain.

The heavy rain soaked their shoes and trousers.

"They said it was just one intersection away, it must be because of the heavy rain and traffic jam. Jiajia, let's go back to the lobby and wait."

Yi Mo was also getting a little anxious and said awkwardly.

"Okay, don't rush."

As soon as Wen Jia finished speaking, a red sports car stopped in front of them.

The car window rolled down, and Gu Nan's alluring face appeared before them.

"Oh, Secretary Wen. It's raining so hard, and no one's picking you up? Get in the car, I'll give you a ride."

Wen Jia didn't even bother to curl her lips into a smile. "Thank you, Mr. Gu, but no need."

Gu Nan chuckled and said sarcastically:

"Didn't you always say that Mr. Lu is your boyfriend? Where is he at a time like this? Secretary Wen, could it be that you're just spreading rumors on your own?"

As she spoke, she glanced up and down, her eyes full of disdain.

Her voice was high-pitched and thin, and many of her colleagues looked over.

Yi Mo, still angry, took Wen Jia's arm and raised her head, saying:

"Mr. Gu, you probably don't know, it was Mr. Lu who pursued our Jiajia. He sent her a bouquet of flowers every day without fail."

"whispering sound!"

Gu Nan smiled disdainfully.

"Love has always been a game for the rich. Secretary Wen, you're so smart, you don't actually think you and President Lu are a good match, do you? Don't end up getting sold out and still helping them count the money."

"Whether Mr. Lu and I are a good match is none of your business. Mr. Gu, you should use your time to manage your own boyfriend and stop him from harassing other people."

Wen Jia's words froze Gu Nan's smile on his face.

As luck would have it, with a whoosh of brakes, they heard Shen Yu's blue BMW stop behind Gu Nan's car. The driver's side door opened, and Shen Yu, holding an umbrella, jogged over and stopped in front of Wen Jia.

"Jiajia, it's raining so hard, I came especially to pick you up from get off work."
