Chapter 333: Chapter 332: Accompanying to the Prenatal Checkup
So Bai Fanglan hardly does any chores at home; even the clothes are washed by her mother-in-law at home.
The housekeeping is also done by the nanny from her mother-in-law’s house. She finally feels that marrying Wang Hu has some benefits, so she calls her grandfather to say that Wang Hu has been treating her pretty well lately.
Wang Hu glanced at her: "When are you going for the prenatal check-up?"
"Tomorrow, didn’t I already mention it?"
"Let me accompany you."
Bai Fanglan paused her chopsticks, then smiled and said: "Don’t worry, it’s okay. I’ll just take a taxi by myself. You’re so busy; there’s no need for you to come."
"I’ll still accompany you. I’ve taken leave." Wang Hu said definitively, leaving no room for argument.
Bai Fanglan looked at him with some surprise: "There’s no need for this. I heard your unit is undergoing a merger, which is the time to make a good impression. Don’t neglect your unit’s matters because of me, otherwise wouldn’t it be..."
"I already said there’s no problem, so there isn’t. You don’t need to worry. I am part of the Wang Family and usually perform pretty well, so taking one day off to accompany my wife to a prenatal check won’t lead to a transfer. Besides, this won’t take too long. That’s settled." Wang Hu’s tone was firm, as if speaking to his subordinates.
Bai Fanglan panicked; she has been going by herself these days. The doctor said the delivery might be delayed, which made her happy. The later it is, the better it aligns with the timeline. At that time, saying it’s a premature birth by a month would be normal.
But if Wang Hu comes along, wouldn’t the doctor’s words blow her cover?
After Wang Hu finished speaking, he kept observing her expression. Seeing Bai Fanglan’s face looking so unpleasant, he basically understood and put down his chopsticks: "Do you have something to tell me?"
"No... I have nothing to say! Wang Hu, I think you’re being a bit inexplicable!"
"Bai Fanglan." Wang Hu looked at her calmly: "Tell me now, and I can at least save face for everyone. But if you stubbornly act recklessly, I can’t help it. My parents are old, and I don’t want to upset them."
Bai Fanglan’s chopsticks fell to the floor with a crisp sound, her heart pounding wildly as she nervously looked at Wang Hu.
"You... what do you mean? I don’t understand."
Wang Hu said: "If you don’t want to talk, fine. We’ll talk after the prenatal check-up tomorrow."
Bai Fanglan bit her lip, looking at Wang Hu: "Did someone say something to you?"
"What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Bai Fanglan stood up abruptly; "Yes! On the way to Shenzhen, I had a conflict with Gu Junming and Sun Chan! But after all, we knew each other before, and I haven’t said anything since; there’s been no interaction among us. But why are they trying to harm me? What did that bitch Sun Chan smear me with? Is she slandering me?"
When the incident happened, she was on the same train as Sun Chan and them. Bai Fanglan thought, unless Gu Junming and Sun Chan said something to Wang Hu, otherwise this wouldn’t be exposed! And Wang Hu and Gu Junming were in the same unit, so the answer is quite clear now, isn’t it?
Wang Hu saw Bai Fanglan looking like this and shook his head in disappointment: "This has nothing to do with Sun Chan."
"How can it not be related? If not for that bitch, would you suspect me? Wang Hu, why can’t you cherish our relationship? We’ve finally become a bit more normal, but you’re listening to slander again? Do you really care about our marriage? Our child is about to be born!"
In her heart, Bai Fanglan thought she might as well act righteously, so he would believe her.
Angrily, she stood up: "I’m going to find Sun Chan for clarification!"
Wang Hu, unlike before, didn’t stop or console her, but said calmly: "Actually, I also want to ask Sun Chan exactly what happened in Shenzhen. I believe Gu Junming wouldn’t lie."
Bai Fanglan’s body shook, turning around to look at Wang Hu: "You say he wouldn’t lie, does that mean I would?"
"So what! I’m now suspecting you might be lying." Wang Hu looked at Bai Fanglan indifferently.
In Bai Fanglan’s mind, there was a buzz; he’s indeed suspicious, suspicious of that hooligan’s words!
"Wang Hu, what exactly do you mean?" she said angrily: "Do you not want our marriage?"
Wang Hu looked at her: "That depends on what you think. I just want you to go for the prenatal check-up together, and you make it sound so serious? Are you so afraid of me, are you guilty, is there something wrong that you won’t even let me accompany you to the check-up?"
If it were other women, the husband willing to accompany them for a prenatal check-up should be such a delightful thing. But why, when it comes to her, is she so unwilling?
Bai Fanglan forced herself to say: "I’m not unhappy; I just feel someone is trying to harm me behind my back! Did Sun Chan say something?"
"No, I haven’t contacted Sun Chan for a long time, and she hasn’t said anything. Gu Junming and I just talk about business matters."
Bai Fanglan looked at her husband skeptically and thought, whatever happens, better agree and see tomorrow.
Thinking of this, she said to Wang Hu: "If you’re so willing to accompany me, then thank you, but if there are a lot of people lining up and it delays your work, you can’t blame me!"
"I understand, don’t worry. I’ve scheduled time for it."
After agreeing to him, Bai Fanglan started becoming anxious and uneasy. She waited until it was late at night, and Wang Hu was asleep, before quietly getting up to call her grandfather.
Bai Chuan was asleep and answered the phone drowsily: "Who is it?"
"Grandpa, it’s Bai Fanglan."
Bai Chuan, startled, said: "What happened? Calling at this time, are you uncomfortable? Is your stomach hurting?"
Bai Fanglan quickly said: "No, it’s actually this... Sun Chan has always disliked me, looking for chances to embarrass me. I don’t know what she said about me, but Wang Hu is very upset. I think Gu Junming said something. Wang Hu believes him, and I’m really sad."
Bai Chuan listened and was very angry: "I understand! This guy wants revenge, doesn’t he? Last time, work issues, he failed to plot against Gu Junming, so now he’s looking for a chance to mess with my granddaughter?"
Bai Fanglan said: "Please tell them not to interfere in our marriage. I really can’t stand those two anymore."
"Rest assured, I’ll make it clear. You focus on the check-up."
"Um, Grandpa, I have one more favor to ask." She explained the situation. This and that, not letting Wang Hu inside during the prenatal check-up; she thought about it for hours before coming up with this plan.
Bai Chuan found it a bit odd: "Why do you need to do this?"
"I’m embarrassed! It’s all gynecological issues, and Wang Hu has such a personality." Bai Fanglan acted a bit sheepish.
