Chapter 28: Is the Obsessive Man Pregnant? Su Nian Two Months Pregnant? Gu Yichen stood frozen for a long time, his heart seeming to stop beating, a buzzing roar filling his mind.

"Mr. Gu?" the man asked strangely.

Was he so overjoyed he'd lost his senses? Yet something felt distinctly off. Gu Yichen collected himself and commanded in a deep voice, "Are you certain?"

He had never touched Su Nian; how could she be two months pregnant? If true, it meant that during their marriage, Su Nian had been involved with another man.

"Check again,"

Gu Yichen ordered, forcing down his chaotic thoughts. His heart throbbed dully as he gripped his phone, waiting anxiously. Seconds ticked by, agonizingly slow. Soon the man replied, "Mr. Gu, it's confirmed. I spoke with the doctor. Your wife is indeed two months pregnant. There's no mistake. I'll send you photos of the filled medical forms."

Ding! Gu Yichen stared at the images, feeling his blood run cold. The name field read "Sunian,"

with the Chinese characters "苏念"

written beside it. The injury described was also a head trauma, matching Su Nian's, and the summary clearly stated: pregnancy of two months.

"Could the diagnosis be wrong?"

Gu Yichen couldn't believe it, didn't want to believe it. A sharp ringing filled his ears, his heart clenched tightly. Only after speaking directly with the doctor did Gu Yichen finally lose all hope. There was no misdiagnosis. The doctor stated plainly that Su Nian herself had told him, even asking about precautions for pregnant women, which was why the memory remained so vivid. Su Nian truly was pregnant, and it happened during their marriage! Suppressed fury surged in Gu Yichen's eyes, his heart feeling as though brutally torn apart. He clenched his fist so hard his nails dug into his palm, drawing fresh blood. The man groaned inwardly, calling out cautiously, "M-Mr. Gu?" He had thought this a favorable task, a chance to earn favor with the boss, yet he never expected to stumble into such a storm of blood and wind.

Gu Yichen ended the call, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair, remaining silent for a long while. The room grew deathly cold and oppressive. When he finally opened his eyes again, his gaze was icy, radiating chilling寒意 (coldness) from every pore. Which man was it? Who was the one who had touched his wife before him? It couldn't be the Shen brothers, whom Su Nian had only known for two or three days. Yet aside from them, there were no other outstanding men around Su Nian. Gu Yichen pulled out a tissue and wiped the blood from his palm, his expression frigid. The tissue brushing against the wound caused sharp pain, but nothing compared to the agony in his heart.

Suddenly, Gu Yichen's pupils constricted, his eyes narrowing as he coldly spat out two words: "Bai Xiao!"

The private physician he had employed had been fired just yesterday, with a million-yuan penalty paid for breach of contract. The reason for dismissal was that Bai Xiao had overstepped, daring to interfere in his marriage. Now finally understanding, Gu Yichen realized why Bai Xiao had advised Su Nian to divorce, and why Su Nian was pregnant. As her doctor, Bai Xiao had clearly examined her yet never informed Gu Yichen. Unbeknownst to him, those two had already secretly conceived together. Blood choked in his throat. He had wholeheartedly desired reconciliation, yet Su Nian carried another man's child. What a joke! Su Nian had long since changed her heart, divorcing him for someone else, yet making everyone believe he was at fault, piling all blame onto him. And he had believed it, intending to make amends. Gu Yichen pressed his hand to his forehead, a bitterly sorrowful smile twisting his lips.

"Nian Nian, your revenge is truly ruthless!"

Dignity and sincerity alike had been trampled beneath her feet.

At this moment, he felt somewhat lost. Su Nian's pregnancy had completely shattered his train of thought. Was reconciliation still necessary? Reconciling meant swallowing unbearable resentment; not reconciling meant letting go of Su Nian, which he couldn't bear.

Meanwhile, at the municipal hospital, Bai Xiao, while organizing documents, sneezed unexpectedly—just as his phone rang. Glancing at the caller ID, he saw it was his former employer.

"Hello, Mr. Gu," he answered.

"Su Nian and Shen Yuhuan have left," Gu Yichen stated coldly.

Bai Xiao showed slight surprise and politely asked, "And what does Mr. Gu mean by that?"

Seeing Gu Yichen's aggressive demeanor, one might think he was the one who had kidnapped Su Nian.

"Aren't you going to look for her?"

Gu Yichen raised his voice slightly. He didn't dare ask Su Nian directly, fearing he might upset her again and end up arguing with her over the phone. Besides, right now, he wasn't sure how he should even treat her. Bai Xiao slowly typed out a question mark.

"What?"

He was utterly confused. Whoever Su Nian had left with, why was Gu Yichen questioning him?

"Didn't Su Nian tell you? We're divorced," Gu Yichen said, taking a deep breath, yet his fingers gripping the phone were so tense that his fingertips turned deathly white.

He had lost, but Bai Xiao hadn't won either; hadn't Su Nian left with Shen Yuhuan?

"Divorced?"

Bai Xiao's voice rose involuntarily.

"Congratulations."

The congratulation slipped out instinctively; only after the three words left his lips did he realize his mistake. But it was too late. Gu Yichen's voice dropped eight degrees, dark and icy.

"Are you that pleased? Do you think you've won? Su Nian chose Shen Yuhuan; you've been abandoned too!"

Bai Xiao fell silent for a moment, his tone still gentle.

"Mr. Gu, could there be… some misunderstanding?"

Even if jealousy was involved, he should be directing it at the right person; he had innocently become the target.

"What did you say?"

Gu Yichen narrowed his eyes, sharply realizing that Bai Xiao was not the child's father.

"Then, if Su Nian is two months pregnant, why didn't you tell me when you examined her? Why did you cover for her?"

Pregnant? Two months? Bai Xiao frowned suspiciously.

"Where did Mr. Gu hear this?"

As of yesterday, during his comprehensive examination, Su Nian had shown no signs of pregnancy.

"Su Nian told me herself," Gu Yichen replied, his gaze darkening.

It seemed the man Su Nian had been having an affair with wasn't Bai Xiao; then who could it be? Bai Xiao pondered for a moment before giving a vague answer.

"That is patient confidentiality. Without her consent, I have no right to disclose such information."

If Su Nian was lying, she must have had unavoidable reasons; he would help keep her secret.

"Hmph!"

Gu Yichen let out a cold laugh, stifling a surge of frustration, then immediately called his assistant, Song Wenyao.

"Send me the contact number for Shen Yuxi from the Provincial Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team."

Shen Yuhuan's number was hard to find, but Shen Yuxi, being a public official, was easier to locate. The child's biological father—the man Su Nian had cheated with during her marriage—must be identified. * Inside a private room at a Chinese restaurant, the aroma of dishes wafted through the air. Su Nian studied the menu, asking about Shen Yuxi's preferences and whether Su Xingye's tastes had changed, finally placing the order ten minutes later.

"Su Nian,"

Qiao Yajing spoke heavily, her grip on the teacup tightening.

"I'm quite curious; how did you know Xingye was here with me?"

Su Nian's mind raced through countless possibilities before deliberately sowing discord.

"Su Xin let it slip. I specifically came abroad to find you both. My brother has hidden you away for five years; it's time I brought him home."

A sharp glint flashed in Qiao Yajing's eyes.

"The Su family is not what it was five years ago. You've seen firsthand the ruthlessness of Su Xin and his mother and son. Unless Xingye forms a marital alliance with my Qiao family, he will never have the chance to regain control of the Su family."

The Qiao family was her bargaining chip, her only one. Yet Su Nian shook her head without hesitation.

"Stop dreaming. My brother doesn't like you, and of course, I respect his wishes."

In fact, long ago, she had asked Su Xingye whether he liked Qiao Yajing. Back then, she and Qiao Yajing were close friends, and naturally, she had wanted to support her best friend's happiness.

"I like all of Nian Nian's friends," Su Xingye had answered.

At the time, she had been delighted and pressed further, "Will you marry her?"

But Su Xingye had remained silent for a long while before lightly smiling and flicking her cheek.

"I don't like her. I only speak with her a bit more because she is Nian Nian's friend."

"Su Nian, don't act impulsively," Qiao Yajing said coldly.

"You know very well my feelings for Xingye. An alliance with the Qiao family brings nothing but benefits and no harm."

"However," Su Nian sneered,

"back then, I rejected you even before you plotted against me or got involved in my brother's accident. Do you really think I'd agree now? Qiao Yajing, stop bothering us."

She lifted the corner of her lips and waved her phone.

"I recorded everything. Yuxi, here's your phone back; please keep the recording safe for me."

Qiao Yajing's pupils constricted, her gaze turning even colder. Although a single recording wasn't sufficient evidence, if it were exposed, it would still damage the Qiao family's reputation.

"Miss Su, you needn't worry about the Su family at all," Shen Yuxi said coolly, taking the phone and putting it away.

"I'm preparing to investigate the Su family; it won't last much longer."

Su Nian didn't care about the rise and fall of the Su family—that was for the best. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to tell him about it. Qiao Yajing was startled, her expression shifting slightly.

"Are you a police officer?"

She had never expected Su Nian to bring a policeman to the hospital!

"Are you planning to investigate what happened to my brother?" Su Nian asked, puzzled.

"Is there any hope? It's been five years; any evidence would have long been destroyed."

Precisely because of that, she had temporarily dropped the lawsuit. Right now, the most important thing was curing Su Xingye's amnesia.

"Regarding Mr. Su's case, he needs to file a report at the police station," Shen Yuxi replied, his tone somewhat low.

"I'm referring to something else. Sorry, I can't tell you yet."

The Su family had developed the S serum and conducted illegal human experiments; they must be brought to justice. Back then, if not for their unyielding willpower, they would have died in that laboratory. No one outside knew, no one would remember—they would have vanished without a trace.

"Xingye, in these five years, did you feel nothing for me at all?"

Qiao Yajing clenched her fists. The answer was obvious, yet she refused to give up and had to ask one more time. Su Xingye clasped his hands on his knees, his dark eyes reflecting Qiao Yajing's pale face. He let out a soft scoff.

"Should I thank you, perhaps, for separating Nian and me for five years?"

Qiao Yajing gave a bitter laugh, but within a second, she regained her composure.

"Su Xingye, I admit I lost—I lost by foolishly hoping to win your heart."

She rose, like a queen looking down upon her subjects.

"But you, I will have, no matter what."

Whatever she wanted, since childhood, she had never failed to obtain. So even if she couldn't keep his heart, she would still have the man?

"What a mess," Su Nian muttered.

One obsessive after another, and she had to meet them all. In the quiet private room, the faint vibration of a phone was clearly audible.

"Hello," Shen Yuxi answered.

On the other end came a familiar, cold, deep voice.

"Mr. Shen, it's me."

Gu Yichen's tone was chilly.

"When did Shen Yuhuan first meet Su Nian?" He thought carefully: Su Nian's so-called lover was very likely Shen Yuhuan.

Otherwise, having known each other for only two or three days, why would Shen Yuhuan go to such lengths for Su Nian—helping her divorce and aiding her revenge against him? Su Nian and Shen Yuhuan must have known each other long before. Shen Yuxi paused briefly, then asked calmly, "Why do you ask?"

"Why talk so much with him?" Su Nian said, displeased.

She had blocked Gu Yichen, and now he was harassing people around her? Was Su Nian with Shen Yuxi? Gu Yichen's heart jolted.

"Where is Shen Yuhuan?" he asked, emotions surging.

During the airplane incident, Tang Shi had only mentioned "Mr. Shen,"

and he had immediately assumed it was Shen Yuhuan, overlooking Shen Yuxi. Shen Yuxi replied, "He's not here."

He could sense that Gu Yichen was on the verge of fury.

"When did you and Su Nian meet?" Gu Yichen asked coldly.

Shen Yuxi fell silent for two seconds.

"A long time ago."

Strictly speaking, Su Nian had been eight and he nine. At that time, he hadn't yet borne the name "Shen Yuxi."

Su Nian was surprised. Hadn't they met for the first time just three nights ago?

"So it was you!"

Gu Yichen冷笑.The "Mr. Shen"

mentioned by Tang Shi, the mastermind behind the airplane incident, Su Nian's illicit lover, and the biological father of the baby in her belly! It turns out to be Shen Yuxi! Author: Niannian: Are you stupid?
