Dr. Jiang Is Pregnant With His Nemesis’s Child

Chapter 79

The brains of the three people went blank at the same time. Shen Fangyu was the first to react, hesitatingly saying, “Ah, you—”

Shen Fangyu’s words brought back Zhan Cheng’s senses. He looked down at the cup that had fallen to the ground, swallowed heavily, and looked to be in a trance for a while before finally remembering, “The water dispenser in the office is broken, so I came to the staircase to get water.”

“Oh,” Shen Fangyu stepped back and pointed to the hot water dispenser at the staircase, pretending to be calm, “Go ahead.”

Zhan Cheng stiffened his neck and nodded mechanically like a robot. He took a few steps forward in a daze, then suddenly seemed to realize something, and his expression changed to a frightened one, “Come to think of it, I’m not thirsty anymore. Thanks!”

After saying that, he quickly squatted down to pick up the cup and stood up, then ran off without waiting for Shen Fangyu to speak, disappearing in a flash.

Seeing Zhan Cheng fleeing in panic, Shen Fangyu rubbed his forehead and frowned, a hint of frustration on his face, “The water dispenser has never gotten broken before, why did it have to happen now?”

Jiang Xu glared at Shen Fangyu, and the latter knew he was in the wrong, so he sincerely lowered his head and said, “I’m sorry, I love you.”

Jiang Xu: “…”

“How much do you think he saw?” Shen Fangyu asked hopefully, “Could he see us kissing from that angle?”

“Would he have reacted so strongly if he didn’t see anything?” Jiang Xu burst his bubble.

“Yeah,” Shen Fangyu said heavily, “Then when I touched your stomach and talked to Xiaoxiao… did he hear that too?”

It was hard to say.

Jiang Xu frowned and suggested to Shen Fangyu, “Go find him, let’s have a talk.”

Shen Fangyu, who was burdened with responsibility, solemnly nodded. He walked to the office door, pushed it open, and called out to Zhan Cheng, “Come out for a moment.”

Zhan Cheng hugged his water cup tightly, and took several steps back, as if his life was being threatened. He panicked and blurted out, “I’m not coming out, I won’t come out no matter what you say. I didn’t see anything, don’t even think about silencing me with murder. I won’t come out even if I die!”

The other people In the office looked at the two of them inexplicably. Yu Sang gloated on the side, “Are you brothers turning against each other?”

Wu Rui persuaded, “Don’t talk about life and death, it’s not good for patients to hear.”

Zhang Cheng stood frozen in place, speechless, and choked up. He wished he could directly reveal what he had just seen, to see if these two people could still mock him so calmly.

“I don’t kill people,” Shen Fangyu said, “Come out, I just want to talk to you.”

“Talk my ass,” Zhang Doctor couldn’t even bother with his usual eloquence at this moment, “If you can do something like that, what else can’t you do?”

“What did you do?” Yu Sang became more interested, and he asked Shen Fangyu, “What did you do?”

What did he do?

It seemed like he fell in love with his nemesis and possibly even had a child!

Zhang Cheng recalled what he had just witnessed, suspecting that he hadn’t woken up yet.

Shen Fangyu could possibly be with Jiang Xu, so killing someone to silence them didn’t seem impossible either.

Damn it, he remembered telling Shen Fangyu not long ago that he heard a ridiculous gossip that he and Jiang Xu were together.

He didn’t believe it then and said it as a joke to Shen Fangyu.

Now he realized he was the clown himself.

No wonder people say that the more unbelievable the rumor sounds, the more likely it is to be true these days.

Seeing Zhang Cheng resist so much, Shen Fangyu sighed, walked in, forcefully pulled Zhang Cheng’s water cup out of his hands, and then lifted him up, dragging him out of the office.

“Oh my god, help me!”

The impact on Zhang Cheng was too great. At this moment, his head felt heavy and his legs weak. His legs felt like they were stepping on cotton, shallow one step and deep one step, unable to struggle against Shen Fangyu.

Wu Rui has never interfered in their conflicts, and Yu Sang was happy to see these two turn against each other, adding fuel to the fire on the side, “You see, our Brother Xu has a good temper, but Dr. Shen has a bad temper, not good.”

Zhang Cheng looked at Yu Sang, who was still clueless about the truth, and weakly reminded him, “I advise you not to speak ill of Shen Fangyu, especially in front of Jiang Xu, or you will regret it.”

Yu Sang “tsked” and obviously had no intention of listening to his advice.

Finally, Zhang Cheng was dragged out of the office, and he saw Jiang Xu outside, arms crossed, seemingly considering whether to help Shen Fangyu or not.

The gazes of the two fell on Zhang Cheng’s head, and Zhang Cheng trembled. He suddenly regained his senses, and quickly broke free from Shen Fangyu’s grip before both of them could drag him away, and surrendered indignantly, “Let’s go wherever you want to talk, I can go on my own!”

In the private room of the restaurant, Zhang Cheng looked warily at the full table of dishes, glanced at Shen Fangyu, and then at Jiang Xu, “Are you guys going to poison me?”

Jiang Xutu sighed, took a few bites

and then said to him, “Go ahead, eat.”

“Damn,” Zhang Cheng couldn’t believe what he saw and felt like the world was collapsing. “I can’t take it anymore,” he said, “even if I die, I want to die with understanding.”

He put down his chopsticks and said to Jiang Xu, “Why didn’t you dodge when he kissed you?”

“I didn’t react in time.”

Zhang Cheng looked at Shen Fangyu again. “So, did you force Jiang Xu?”

Shen Fangyu glanced at Jiang Xutu and said, “I guess not.”

Zhang Cheng took a deep breath and confirmed with a heart of ashes, “Are you two really dating?”

Jiang Xu nodded, “Yes.”

“Damn it!” Zhang Cheng couldn’t help but accuse Shen Fangyu, “I’ve supported you for so many years, always standing by your side, and now you fucking go stand by your nemesis.”

Shen Fangyu knew he was in the wrong and paused for a moment before offering friendly advice, “Do you want to stand by my nemesis too?”

“You fucking…damn it!”

Zhang Cheng didn’t want to deal with him. He pressed his temples and tried to digest the news for a long time until his hands and feet turned icy. He picked up the tea cup on the table, intending to warm his hands, but suddenly remembered something and couldn’t help but sneak a glance at Jiang Xu’s abdomen.

“What do you want to ask? Just say it.” Jiang Xu said.

“Then can I ask?” The few sentences he overheard had repeated in his mind countless times, almost wearing calluses. Zhang Cheng cautiously repeated Shen Fangyu’s words, trembling with fear as he asked Jiang Xu, “What does ‘Xiaoxiao persuade Dad’ mean?”

Shen Fangyu’s eyes darkened.

How long did Zhang Cheng eavesdrop on them? He heard everything too clearly.

“It’s…” Shen Fangyu pinched his brow, his brain quickly spinning to come up with a story, racking his brains and said, “It’s…”

Jiang Xu lightly pressed his hand, motioning him to stop.

Shen Fangyu was wondering whether Jiang Xu had unexpectedly learned the skill of making up stories when he heard him directly say, “There is a child.”

“Crack!” The sound of two tea cups being dropped rang out.

Jiang Xu sighed silently at the lack of maturity of the two impulsive people.

One lie requires countless lies to cover up. If Zhang Cheng hadn’t seen or heard anything, it would have been fine. But now that he had seen and heard everything, he would definitely observe them closely out of curiosity.

Being pregnant had caused changes in Jiang Xu’s body and habits. Working in the same department, it was hard to avoid meeting Zhang Cheng frequently. As long as Zhang Cheng had such suspicions, they wouldn’t be able to hide it.

Although he and Zhang Cheng were not close friends, they had known each other for over ten years and understood each other’s characters.

As for the matter of the child, he believed Zhang Cheng wouldn’t spread it around.

Although it was a bit embarrassing to be pregnant, it wasn’t something to be ashamed of, especially now that it was different from before. With two similar cases in front of them, both Jiang Xu and the doctors in the department had become more accepting of this matter.

After careful analysis, he thought that just telling Zhang Cheng alone wouldn’t have too serious consequences.

But Zhang Cheng couldn’t bear the stimulation.

The broken porcelain scattered all over the floor and the boiling hot water soaked his pants. Jiang Xu handed Shen Fangyu a few tissues and Zhang Cheng also asked Jiang Xu for a few, wiping his pants while collapsing, “You two are really something, playing around and even having a child together?”

Jiang Xu: “…”

Zhang Cheng brought up past events in one go, launching a series of trembling parallel sentences and attacking Shen Fangyu:

“No wonder you asked me about Huo Chengchun and Li Yalei’s matters, no wonder you went abroad specifically for that Albert case, no wonder you told me you had a partner…and the report on the Dr. Kenn case you did together doesn’t seem like it was done overnight…did you actually plan to have a child together?”

“Wait,” he said, “you did that report before you said you had a significant other… Damn, you guys didn’t start dating before that, did you? Or were you really childhood sweethearts who kept it a secret from us for over a decade?”

…Jiang Xu thought that he probably didn’t need to tell Zhang Cheng anything more.

“Fuck!” Zhang Cheng couldn’t help but burst out with a few more curses. Obviously, he wasn’t too concerned about the cause and effect. Just this one thing was enough to give him a huge shock. “I must be dreaming.”

He said to Shen Fangyu, “Punch me.”

Shen Fangyu was about to raise his hand, but Zhang Cheng quickly said, “Forget it, forget it, no need.”

“I can’t take it anymore, I really can’t,” Zhang Cheng said, “I feel like… this is too fucking surreal.”

Shen Fangyu paused, took out his phone and transferred some money to Zhang Cheng, and earnestly instructed, “This money should be enough to buy two game consoles. Remember to keep your mouth shut.”

Li Yalei and Huo Chengchun bought one game console and managed to keep Zhang Cheng’s mouth shut for over ten years, and now Zhang Cheng was getting two, which should at least buy him another twenty years.

Zhang Cheng shook his head blankly with a dazed look in his eyes. “Your secret is not on the same level as what Li Yalei and Huo Chengchun did…”

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his head. “Can I tell them that you guys are dating? I won’t mention the child, I just want them to feel some shock too. It can’t be just me getting shocked.”

Jiang Xu, Shen Fangyu: “…”

“Fangyu, since you already know that they both like Jiang Xu, it shouldn’t be a problem to let them know, right?”

“I’m begging you guys,” Zhang Cheng said, “I don’t want the money for the game console, I swear I won’t tell anyone else ever again, absolute confidentiality. I just really want to tell them, if I don’t, I’ll explode.”

One minute later, with permission obtained, Zhang Cheng opened the new group chat he created with the other two.

The most recent chat records inside were still of the two rich second generations discussing how to please Shen Fangyu and prevent him from getting angry for being kept in the dark.

Li Yalei said he had already asked his secretary to book the most difficult-to-reserve restaurant in City A, so Shen Fangyu wouldn’t have to spend money to treat them to dinner. Huo Chengchun promised to bring Shen Fangyu a priceless top-tier red wine from overseas, which would surely make Shen Fangyu forgive them.

Zhang Cheng sneered at the conversation between the two and coldly said, “I have some big news to tell you guys.”

Li Yalei: “!”

Huo Chengchun: “?”

“Do you know why Shen Fangyu invited the two of you to a meal?” Zhang Cheng said, “He’s together with Jiang Xu.”

Li Yalei: “!!!!!!!!!!”

Huo Chengchun: “??????????”

Zhang Cheng continued to type expressionlessly, “I saw him kiss Jiang Xu with my own eyes, and Jiang Xu didn’t avoid it.”

Soon, Li Yalei sent 998 exclamation marks, while Huo Chengchun sent 999 question marks, followed by a barrage of frantic phone calls from the two.

Seeing the flooded exclamation and question marks, Zhang Cheng calmly blocked the phone numbers of the two, finally feeling relieved as the emotional pressure was shifted away.

He put down his phone and smiled at Jiang Xu and Shen Fangyu, picking up his chopsticks, “Let’s eat.”

Jiang Xu: “……”

He turned his head slightly and said seriously to Shen Fangyu, “Your dormitory has the most harmonious relationship I’ve ever seen.”

“Is that so?” Shen Fangyu chuckled twice. “It’s just alright, I guess?”

Finally, on a beautiful evening.

After failing to contact Zhang Cheng, Huo Chengchun deliberately changed his flight ticket and returned to China two days earlier. As soon as he got off the plane, he met Li Yalei at the outpatient clinic of Jihua Hospital, where he had blocked Shen Fangyu, who had just finished his consultations.

Dressed in Japanese and Korean styles, the one wearing a dark green beret was Huo Chengchun, and dressed in a business suit with a turquoise necktie was Li Yalei.

After a long separation, the three roommates reunited. Shen Fangyu glanced at them, raised his eyebrows, and greeted, “Long time no see, you two are quite coordinated in green. Is this the new trend of spring colors?”

Huo Chengchun, Li Yalei: “……”

“Do you have time tonight?” Huo Chengchun cleared his throat and asked with a threatening smile, “Mr. Li wants to treat you to a meal.”

“Get in the car,” Li Yalei squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth, “Master Huo brought red wine for you.”

Shen Fangyu glanced at the two of them, and lightly struck with a killing blow, “No, I have to send Jiang Xu home.”

“Damn it!”

“You fucker,” Huo Chengchun collapsed, “Are you guys really together?”

“I don’t believe it,” Li Yalei said, “Call him now.”

Shen Fangyu took out his phone, turned on the speakerphone, and dialed Jiang Xu.

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Xu’s unmistakable voice came from the other end.

“I put you on speakerphone,” Shen Fangyu reminded him first, then complained, “Huo Chengchun and Li Yalei are forcing me to have dinner with them, are you coming?”

After a pause on the other side, Jiang Xu said, “Go ahead.”

Jiang Xu didn’t want to get involved in their overly complicated and terrifying dormitory relationship. “I’ll take a taxi home by myself.”

“Is that okay?”

“I’m not a child,” Jiang Xu paused and added, “Come back early.”

“Okay,” Shen Fangyu looked at his two roommates who were turning green with envy, and smiled as he said to Jiang Xu, “Take care.”

After hearing the other side hang up the phone, he put his phone away, opened his arms, and put them on the shoulders of his two good friends, saying, “He approved, where do we go to eat?”

Huo Chengchun and Li Yalei looked at each other and saw the same myocardial infarction in each other’s eyes.

…This is killing people and eliminating the heart.
