Chapter 422

~4 min read 659 words

"What are you doing? Are you sick, or did you use some extreme method to lose weight?"

She had slimmed down by a whole size.

Jiang Nannan was very happy to see Shu Xia, but her overall state was somewhat listless, "I didn't intentionally lose weight; I just haven't had much appetite lately, and I've been having some insomnia, so I lost weight. I only lost seven or eight pounds, it's not that exaggerated."

"Insomnia?" Shu Xia walked in carrying a bag filled with local specialties.

Having spent four years in college with Jiang Nannan in the same dormitory, it could be said that Jiang Nannan had always been carefree; the word insomnia was hard to associate with her.

"Yeah, I don't know what's wrong lately, I'm always having insomnia, but it's nothing. Quickly, let me see what you brought me; I haven't been to K City in several years." Jiang Nannan didn't want her own affairs to affect Shu Xia.

In fact, she had no appetite right now and didn't want to eat anything she saw.

Shu Xia's heart stirred, "Could it be that you're pregnant? Have you been to the hospital to check?"

She had previously heard Jiang Nannan say she was preparing for pregnancy and wanted to have a baby.

As she spoke, she took the things she had brought back out of the bag.

Upon hearing the word pregnant, Jiang Nannan's expression stiffened; she lowered her head to look at the specialties, not letting Shu Xia see the desolation in her eyes, "Pregnancy is unlikely. My husband has been too busy lately; he's been so busy he hasn't had time to come home, and we haven't had a marital life for a long time."

Of course she hoped it was pregnancy.

But it was impossible.

How could she give birth alone?

Shu Xia frowned, "Has President Huo been very busy during this time?"

"Yeah, there are a lot of things at the company that require him to go on business trips often. Actually, when I was in college, he used to go on business trips often; sometimes I wouldn't see him for months. Now that we're married, he's still as busy as ever, but I've become insecure, feeling like he..."

The words had just left her mouth when Jiang Nannan suddenly realized what she had said and immediately stopped herself.

Xia Xia had just returned from traveling and was in a happy mood; her own affairs shouldn't affect Xia Xia.

Seeing that Jiang Nannan didn't want to say more, Shu Xia didn't ask further, but instead said with a somewhat firm attitude, "My afternoon is all yours. Let's go, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up, and then we'll have dinner outside together tonight."

Jiang Nannan wanted to refuse, but under the pressure of Shu Xia's gaze, she obediently followed her to the hospital.

Fortunately, there were no problems after seeing the doctor.

And the doctor indirectly reminded Jiang Nannan not to overthink things and to get out and see people more.

The two decided to go eat at the most expensive luxury buffet in Quan Jing Shi.

"Seeing you, I feel like I've come back to life! How did I, Jiang Nannan, become a little aggrieved person who likes to bottle things up inside? Starting today, the real Jiang Nannan is back! Huo Jingyan can be as busy as he wants; I'm going to look for work tomorrow!" Jiang Nannan decided to take this step.

The look the doctor gave her just now was as if she had a very serious mental illness.

That look had stung her.

She, Jiang Nannan, was naturally optimistic; she must have gone crazy these past few days to keep guessing whether Huo Jingyan still liked her.

Watching the revived Jiang Nannan, Shu Xia smiled and said, "Good, I support you! What kind of work are you looking for?"

"Hehe... guess." Jiang Nannan began to play coy.
