Chapter 195: Hiding to Preserve the Pregnancy

Sheng Hanyu sent her to the hospital, and at the very beginning, the situation in the operating room was very critical.

But the attending physician was highly skilled, and the child was saved after all.

During the process of preserving the pregnancy, Shi Youxuan did not lose consciousness; she suffered through all of this while awake, and many, many thoughts ran through her mind.

On the way to the hospital, Sheng Hanyu held her hand and said many things.

He told her he was sorry, said he shouldn't have kept things from her, and said he would definitely find the best doctor to save their child...

Sheng Hanyu took all the blame upon himself and was incredibly self-reproachful, yet he did not blame Jian Yixin for a single word!

He truly displayed the minimum amount of responsibility and accountability a man should have.

But that was not what Shi Youxuan wanted.

She realized that Sheng Hanyu still hadn't seen Jian Yixin's true colors, so such things would happen again in the future.

Shi Youxuan would never allow herself to make the same mistake twice; love is a matter for two people and cannot accommodate three people riding side by side.

If one must leave, she would take the initiative to withdraw.

Jian Yining and the attending physician were not just classmates, but childhood friends who had grown up together, so when Jian Yining asked him, he was willing to help Shi Youxuan.

Originally, Shi Youxuan had planned to "fake her death" and then take the child far away, so that Sheng Hanyu would never be able to find her.

But she hadn't expected Sheng Hanyu to actually invite Ma Ling'er over.

Although Ma Ling'er was only an emergency doctor and could be deceived about whether the pregnancy was being preserved or had ended in a miscarriage, she couldn't be fooled by a faked death.

Thus, she didn't manage to "die," and after coming out of the operating room and entering the intensive care unit, she snuck out of the hospital while Sheng Hanyu was away.

This place was Shi Youxuan's original secret base, which Sheng Hanyu had once mistaken for the place where Jian Yixin lived.

Shi Youxuan wanted to move back here; Jian Yining was originally against it, but she swore that this place was the safest, and even if Sheng Hanyu wanted to turn the world upside down, he would never think she would move here.

Although the child hadn't been miscarried, it still needed to be carefully protected; from now on, she had to stay in bed and rest, and she couldn't go to far-off places, let alone travel long distances.

Originally, according to Jian Yining's idea, it would have been better to just go abroad and fly far away.

It was only for the sake of preserving the pregnancy that she had to stay.

Jian Yining bought folic acid and brought back quite a bit of meat, eggs, shrimp, fresh vegetables, and fruit, as well as a few lively crucian carp.

However, he seemed a bit preoccupied, and although he tried to hide it on the surface, Shi Youxuan still noticed.

"What happened outside?"

"Nothing, everything is quite normal." Jian Yining avoided her gaze.

Shi Youxuan exposed his lie: "You're lying. Something must have happened—something about me, but not the kind that would make me feel very bad."

"My god!"

Jian Yining widened his eyes in astonishment: "Amazing! Yingzi, I just realized how you got the title of investment genius. It's not because you're smart, but because you have clairvoyance, right? Or maybe you have the ability to foresee the future."

He was teasing her to make her happy and improve her mood.

But Shi Youxuan's mood suddenly dropped; she lowered her head and pouted with grievance, muttering in a low voice: "If I had superpowers, would I be bullied like this? Bullied from childhood to adulthood; there are always treacherous people wanting to harm me."

Jian Yining felt incredibly heartbroken, and in his haste, he didn't bother with any preamble and blurted out: "Jiang Yadan is dead, the police ruled it a suicide!"

"Ah? How did she die?"

This news was too sudden.

But she didn't feel sad.

However, Shi Youxuan didn't believe that Jiang Yadan would commit suicide.

She was only worried about Shi Yucheng: "Where did you get this news? How is my father now? He has high blood pressure; I don't even know if he's taking his medicine."

Seeing that her reaction was intense but her emotions didn't fluctuate much, Jian Yining felt relieved.

"Uncle is fine, just anxious, busy with two things at once, and still trying to ask for news about you."

"Two things?" Shi Youxuan was puzzled.

He nodded and told the truth: "Yuke is hospitalized; someone broke her hands and feet, and even sprinkled salt on her face."

Shi Youxuan gasped.

She had to admit that this move was indeed ruthless enough.

Yuke had always cared most about her face; Sheng Yukai had sent people to splash sulfuric acid on her, which didn't just hurt her face, but also dealt a particularly severe blow to her soul!

Now, this person sprinkling salt on her face might not look serious on the surface, and might not even be worth mentioning.

In fact, it was equivalent to repeating the pain Yuke had once suffered all over again, and it was also another severe blow to her soul; if Yuke could keep from breaking down, she would be too tough.

"Is she mentally ill?" Shi Youxuan asked.

Not out of concern, but purely out of curiosity.

Jian Yining gave her a thumbs-up again: "Yingzi, I admire you so much. You really are a divine person; every guess is spot on."

Yuke's mental state had indeed gone wrong, and she was quite ill; she couldn't even say a complete sentence, and it was all gibberish.

If they sent her to a psychiatric hospital, she still had other injuries on her body.

But if they sent her to a regular hospital, no hospital was willing to accept her at all!

Her mental state was unstable, and she had injuries on her body that made her hurt like hell even though she couldn't move; as long as she was awake, she would scream and yell, which greatly disturbed the rest of other patients.

Shi Yucheng had no choice but to find the Jian Family Hospital; he had stayed there before and received the best care and treatment.

But this time it wouldn't work; the hospital had received instructions from Jian Yining to firmly refuse to accept Yuke, and they wouldn't treat her no matter how much money was offered.

Of course, if she absolutely had to be treated there, it was possible, but the hospital director told Shi Yucheng: "If she dies, we aren't responsible; if something happens, we aren't responsible; if she goes missing, we aren't responsible. You sign the liability waiver, and once you sign it, you can bring her in."

If they weren't responsible for anything, what was the point of sending her in?

Shi Yucheng was incredibly worried about his eldest daughter and, having nowhere else to go, could only take her home and hire someone to take care of her; because of taking care of Yuke, he didn't even hold a funeral for Jiang Yadan, but had her directly cremated and her ashes stored.

"Serves her right."

Shi Youxuan didn't sympathize with her at all; getting to this point today was all of her own doing. If you don't court death, you won't die; she couldn't blame anyone else.

Both of them tacitly didn't mention the person who harmed Yuke; they knew it in their hearts without needing to say it.

……

One month later.

Shi Youxuan's belly was already showing; she stood on the balcony wearing maternity clothes, looking enviously at the people in the residential complex.

Everyone else could go out for a stroll, but only she had to stay in the house to nurture the fetus; when they first told her to rest quietly, Shi Yuke had sworn that as long as the baby could be saved, she would do anything.

But only a month had passed, and she was already starting to lose patience.

Aside from lying down, it was still lying down; never mind going out, even standing for a while would result in Jian Yining nagging her if he saw it, and he would go on and on without end.

Fortunately, a few days ago, the doctor came to give her a follow-up checkup and said she was recovering well, and that she could go out for a walk once a full month had passed.

"Click," a slight sound of a key turning in the door lock came from the entrance—Jian Yining had arrived.

He hadn't come for three days; he used to come every day, but suddenly he hadn't come for three days and hadn't even made a single phone call.

"You're here?" Shi Youxuan greeted him with a beaming smile.

His expression was poor, and he said to her very seriously: "Yingzi, we have to go abroad; we can't stay in the country anymore."

"What happened?" Shi Youxuan knew from his expression that it wasn't anything good, and she also became serious.

Jian Yining hesitated a little, not knowing how best to tell Yingzi, but this matter couldn't be kept from her, and it couldn't be hidden at all.

He gathered his thoughts and said: "Sheng Hanyu is suddenly searching for you all over the world like he's gone mad, and I've also been followed; it was only with great difficulty that I shook off the tail to get here."

The name "Sheng Hanyu" was something both of them had deliberately avoided mentioning during this past month.

But now they had to mention it, because he was already preparing to disturb Shi Youxuan's peaceful life, and they had to come up with a countermeasure.

"What is he going crazy about again?"

Shi Youxuan frowned.

A month ago, she had assumed Sheng Hanyu would look for her, but he hadn't.

She didn't want to be found by Sheng Hanyu, but with Sheng Hanyu making no moves at all, she would still let her mind wander.

Wondering what he was doing?

After she left, would he live very happily?

He should be very happy, right? She and Sheng Hanyu were already divorced; wasn't he just about to "reunite" with Jian Yixin?

Perhaps the two of them had already started preparing for their wedding.

How could he suddenly think of looking for her again after a month?
