As bright as a star: Madam, she is an almighty little princess

After the farce was over, Zhou Ziqian, with his hair tangled, leaned exhausted on the sofa, thinking about life, and Mu Chen also came out of the bathroom with an expressionless face.

"Hiss, Old Mu, you've been in the restroom for about fifteen minutes. Find some time to ask Ling Bai to check your kidneys. If you have any hidden illness, treat it immediately. Don't delay Miss Ruan." Pei Yanxing sat lazily opposite with his arm around Ling Qi, a teasing look on his face.

All the men present looked over as Pei Yanxing spoke.

Normally, few people make jokes about Mu Chen, but since Pei Yanxing has started this, he would feel like he is missing out if he doesn't seize the opportunity.

So Zhou Ziqian opened his mouth again, "Brother Chen, isn't fifteen minutes a bit short? Don't worry about us. If you're not satisfied, just go in again."

"Oh shit, Brother Chen, what's that look in your eyes?"

Mu Chen's face remained expressionless, as if they were not teasing him. He sat next to the blushing Ruan Qian, took a sip of wine from his cup, stared at Zhou Ziqian and said coldly, "I can't beat Pei Yanxing, do you think you are as good as him? Don't let me stop you in the underground boxing arena tomorrow afternoon."

Zhou Ziqian was numb, and everyone around him laughed, especially Lin Luzhi who laughed the loudest.

"It's what you say! A good person should keep a big mouth."

The farce was over and the dishes were almost served, so the few people moved to the dining table at the side.

"Come on, come on, wish our sisters a happy graduation." Pei Yan'an, one of the contestants who was still in high spirits, raised a glass first.

The people at the table raised their glasses and clinked them.

"It's better to drink less." Pei Yanxing did not forget to remind Ling Qi.

Ling Qi hummed and raised the red wine glass in his hand to his lips.

As soon as the wine reached the corners of his lips, a strong feeling of nausea instantly surged into his throat.

Ling Qi frowned, and without even saying sorry, he stood up and walked towards the bathroom.

Before the group of people could react to what was happening, Pei Yanxing had already hurriedly followed with a gloomy face.

"What happened to Sister Qi?"

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at each other with worry on their faces.

"Sister Ruan, go and take a look." Ye Qingci frowned and called Ruan Qian.

Ruan Qian had just that idea in mind, so she followed.

The box was quite large, and the door of the washbasin outside the bathroom was not closed tightly in time. As soon as Ruan Qian walked to the door, she heard the sound of retching coming from inside.

Pei Yanxing saw the person following him outside the door, and while leaning over to stroke Ling Qi's back, he said, "Ruan Qian, please bring me a cup of warm water."

Ruan Qian glanced at Ling Qi’s pale face and hurried to get hot water.

"How is it, do you still feel like vomiting? Besides the stomach upset, what else do you feel uncomfortable about?"

Ruan Qian came over with some water, "Why are you vomiting like this? You were fine just now."

Ling Qi took a sip of warm water from Pei Yanxing's hand and rinsed his mouth. His face had lost all color.

"Let's go to the hospital."

Pei Yanxing put down the cup, frowned, bent down and picked the person up sideways.

Ling Qi didn't stop him, but his dark eyes seemed thoughtful and a little uncertain.

"You guys gather together, I'll take Ling Qi to the hospital." Pei Yanxing said this and carried the person out of the door.

The people in the box looked at Ruan Qian, "What's going on?"

Ruan Qian shook her head, a little worried, "I don't know, I was retching in the bathroom for a long time."

Retching?

Lin Luzhi and Zhou Ziying looked at each other and said shockingly, "Sister Qi is not pregnant?!"

For a moment, everyone was stunned.

But the next second Ruan Qian denied their guess, "No, Mr. Si and Aunt Ye once said that although Xiaoqi's toxins have been cleared, her body is still weak and cold, so she needs to be nursed back to health."

The implication is that the chances of conception are extremely slim.

With such an unexpected incident, several people no longer wanted to play anymore, "Let's go over and take a look together."

"No, you guys go have fun." Ye Qingci said, "It's not good for so many people to go to the hospital. Let's go over there first and tell you if there's anything."

Ye Qingci and Ruan Qian contacted Pei Sen and went to the nearby Huazhong University of Science and Technology Hospital.

Pei Yanci and Mu Chen followed suit, and Pei Yanan grabbed the car keys and followed.

The hospital was not far away, but there was a traffic jam in Beijing at that time. When they arrived, Pei Yanxing was getting angry at the doctor.

The doctor and the vice president of the hospital were trembling with fear. "Pei Shuai, we just asked Professor Ling. She had her period in April and it has been two months since then. In addition, she has symptoms of retching when she smells something strange. These are very similar to the symptoms of pregnancy."

As soon as Ling Qi entered the hospital, he met a person who was bleeding and was sent to the emergency room. This person, who was used to the smell of blood, vomited again in the hospital bathroom.

Ye Qingci and Ruan Qian knew why Pei Yanxing was angry. It was simply because they also felt that Ling Qi could not be pregnant. These doctors had not done any tests yet but were checking based on the symptoms of pregnancy, and they were worried that it would delay the diagnosis and treatment.

Pei Yanxing knew that Ling Qi had irregular menstruation, so he asked Mr. Si who was still in Lingyuzhou about it. Mr. Si told him not to panic, as it was a normal symptom for people with cold body and he just needed to slowly recuperate.

Ling Qi had just returned to the capital recently and was busy with many things, so he didn't take it seriously.

"Professor Ling..." The vice president wanted to cry but had no tears. Qi Huaili was not there, so he could only ask Ling Qi for help.

Ling Qi sat on the hospital bed, with his right hand resting on his left wrist as usual. He pulled Pei Yanxing, then stretched out his right hand to the nurse on the side and said, "Take a sample and go check it out."

She raised her eyes and met Pei Yanxing's frowning brows, and said calmly, "A doctor should not treat himself. Let the instrument check if my pulse is inaccurate?"

"What nonsense, your medical skills are still..."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Pei Yanxing was more stunned than ever before.

Their eyes met, and neither of them spoke.

After a long while, Ling Qi took a deep breath and said, "Let's wait for the result first."

The people who followed were also stunned.

The nurse drew a tube of blood and left the ward nervously.

Ling Qi pulled Pei Yanxing to sit aside. The ward was silent. Both of them stared at Ling Qi's belly, unable to tell what they were feeling.

Several other people followed the doctor and waited outside.

Ling Qi's blood test was expedited, and forty minutes later, a nurse was seen walking towards the ward with a test form.

"How is it?" Ruan Qian and Ye Qingci walked over quickly.

The young nurse didn't know what their attitude was, so she stammered, "Professor Ling is pregnant, 6 weeks."

Ruan Qian covered her mouth suddenly, and then everything in front of her eyes became blurry.

Ye Qingci also stood there in a daze.

This time Pei Yan'an reacted the fastest. He snatched the examination form from the nurse and rushed to the ward.
