Old Sir Jiang worried it might be some health issue, so he asked the doctor to check on him first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett listened casually and continued to the study to greet Old Sir Jiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, inside Michael Jennings’ bedroom, the atmosphere was quite delicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings frowned, watching the family doctor cautiously probe his chest with his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings grunted, clearly feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed by the pressing on his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor glanced at his slightly bulging stomach, hesitated, and asked him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Jennings, have you noticed anything unusual with your abdomen? For instance, has it gotten bigger than before?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s not that the doctor intended to ask this way, but among the elders of the Jennings Family, Michael is the only one with a beer belly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the existing beer belly, it’s hard to tell if it’s swollen or not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael didn’t understand why the doctor suddenly cared if his belly was bigger, but upon hearing this, he felt…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His belly seemed slightly swollen indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could his nausea and inability to eat be due to excess fat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it shouldn’t be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He has a check-up every year, and although the doctor advised him to control his weight, at his age, slim down isn’t that simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s not like his big brother or younger brother who regularly focus on fitness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he pondered, the doctor said seriously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Jennings, considering your various bodily responses and noticeable hormonal changes, I think… you might have something called Male Pregnancy Syndrome.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finishing his sentence, he glanced at Michael Jennings again and cautiously asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is there anyone pregnant around you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the family doctor really wanted to ask was if some mistress outside was pregnant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Male Pregnancy Syndrome often occurs due to a wife’s pregnancy period.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Medically it’s referred to as pseudopregnancy, sympathetic pregnancy, or false pregnancy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The suspicion of someone outside arose because he knew Michael Jennings had divorced recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This information hadn’t been publicly announced, but as the family doctor, he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings wasn’t aware of the doctor’s wild imaginations, much less the term Male Pregnancy made him freeze a bit, seemingly unable to believe,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What did you say I have?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The doctor had to repeat again, “Male Pregnancy Syndrome, which means false pregnancy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the term false pregnancy, Michael Jennings felt a wave of darkness in front of his eyes, and in the next second, he erupted with rage, roaring at the doctor,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What nonsense are you talking about?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The outburst was loud enough that Old Sir Jiang, Scarlett Jennings, Madam Jiang, Chase Jennings, and Kingston Jennings all heard it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the group rushed into Michael Jennings’ room, they saw him, obviously angry and flushed red, trying to throw a pillow at the doctor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Sir Jiang’s expression immediately darkened, “What’s this commotion?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings visibly furious, paused upon hearing Old Sir Jiang’s voice, but turned around with an expression of grievance and unspeakable awkwardness,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Old Sir Jiang present, Michael Jennings, however upset he was, could only sit down obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, after the outburst, he felt his stomach was somewhat uncomfortable, and his chest was tight again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to the doctor explain the situation, the Jennings Family members all turned to Michael Jennings with complex expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Jiang instinctively asked him,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Second Uncle, do you have someone outside?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Madam Jiang uttered this, not only did Michael’s face turn black, but Old Sir Jiang also looked at Madam Jiang with a warning expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kingston was still standing on the side. Was this something to be discussed in front of a child?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Jiang felt Old Sir Jiang’s glare and instantly realized her impulsive mistake, subconsciously glanced towards Kingston.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He appeared indifferent, as if entirely unmoved by the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others also instinctively considered the matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Scarlett Jennings, upon hearing Michael’s suspected false pregnancy, showed an expression even more subtle than everyone around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed aware of who took the missing box of chocolate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she had a suspicion, she needed further confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearing her throat, Scarlett suddenly spoke up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think I know the reason behind Uncle’s sudden symptoms of false pregnancy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her words instantly attracted everyone’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett then asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, have you recently eaten a box of chocolate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group was puzzled, but Michael quickly remembered,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I did eat chocolate the day before yesterday…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, suddenly realized and questioned,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Was there something wrong with that box of chocolate?! I thought the taste was strange. Was that chocolate yours?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His string of inquiries made even Kingston, who had been coldly observing, frown slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowering his head, just about to type, when Chase suddenly spoke up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That box of chocolate was ordered from abroad. It was meant as a housewarming gift for Scarlett Jennings.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finished, he glanced at Scarlett, then quickly withdrew his gaze awkwardly, addressing Michael,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The chocolate is fine and has nothing to do with her. Uncle, don’t just blame people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was rare for Chase to stand up for Scarlett, even Madam Jiang couldn’t help but take notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett remained composed, clearly not forgetting how Chase had acted otherwise earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings heard Chase’s words but wasn’t pacified, instead retorting,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the chocolate is fine, why did she suddenly ask? I said I have no health issues, it must be the chocolate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During their conversation, the butler had already found the unfinished box of chocolate in Michael’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett glanced at the box and confirmed the situation is likely what she had thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Michael still harping on the chocolate issue, Scarlett didn’t let him down, saying directly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The problem is indeed with the chocolate, but it’s not spoiled. It’s because the chocolate has been infused with substances that induce pregnancy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett paused, looking at Michael,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Simply put, Uncle, you ate a miraculous fertility enhancer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tone remained calm, but those last four words were mysteriously emphasized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group was dumbfounded, instinctively glancing at Michael Jennings… his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So…is it real or fake?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Madam Jiang dared to ask cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A buzzing sensation went through him, and Michael Jennings felt his mind blank, quickly followed by a strange cramping in his abdomen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He instinctively covered his stomach and whimpered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Chase promptly spoke up to comfort,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle, stay calm, don’t disturb the fetus!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1200,"2026-06-10T07:18:34.866Z",1,"novelbin.me","73bed3285953c23bbd9e5a1377619193102c2aa41d73e15e3370cff74600e059","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-546","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-544",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
