The call just now was from a girl. Ye Wan had never seen Gu Yunting so nervous about a woman before. It seemed this woman was very important to him!
She didn't know what she was thinking. She picked up her phone and dialed Gu Yunting's number. The first time, it didn't connect. The second time, it still didn't. When she tried a third time, he had directly turned off his phone.
Ye Wan's phone slipped from her hand. She slowly stood up and walked into the bathroom, then turned on the shower and let the cold water run over her. She wanted to sober herself up, to avoid falling for him just because of a little kindness.
Jun Lichen was right. She had never truly understood Gu Yunting. In the years he was away, how many other women had he been with? Why was he so insistent on her having a child? What was it all for? She knew nothing.
Gu Yunting disappeared for a full three days without any calls. Ye Wan still followed her original appointment and went to the hospital to have the contraceptive ring removed. She walked out of the operating room by herself. Her lower abdomen ached fiercely. She sat on the bench outside for a long time before she could barely stand. Clutching her stomach, she stumbled out of the hospital.
That evening, she didn't return to the Gu residence. She went to the small apartment rented for her brother. Aunt Zhang saw her pale face and asked if she wanted something to eat. Ye Wan refused, went into Ye Cheng's room, and fell asleep.
She slept restlessly, her lower abdomen still aching faintly, keeping her in a state of semi-consciousness. Ye Cheng, worried about her, stayed by her side, not daring to sleep. Finally, overcome by exhaustion, he leaned against her and drifted off.
When Ye Wan woke up, the sky was already bright. She opened her eyes and saw her brother's worried little face. She smiled and touched his face, "What are you doing? You're going to look like an old man at this rate."
"Sister, are you sad? Did that guy surnamed Gu make you unhappy?" Ye Cheng asked worriedly.
"No, I'm just feeling a bit unwell. I'm hungry now. Let's go eat," Ye Wan said with a smile, holding her brother's hand. She didn't want her brother to worry about her.
"Then I'll ask Aunt Zhang to heat up the food." Hearing that his sister was hungry, Ye Cheng immediately got up and ran out to ask Aunt Zhang to prepare the meal.
Aunt Zhang had already prepared everything. After Ye Wan washed up, the dishes were on the table. Aunt Zhang asked, "Miss, if you're not feeling well, you should go to the hospital."
"Yes, Sister. If you're not feeling well, you should go to the hospital. I'll accompany you later," Ye Cheng said, placing a piece of pork rib into his sister's bowl.
"I'm not sick, just a bit of stomach pain. It's nothing,"
When Aunt Zhang heard she had a stomachache, she immediately understood. She got up and made her a cup of brown sugar water to drink.
"If your stomach hurts, you should drink brown sugar water. I'll make it for you next time," Ye Cheng quickly said. "Sister, drink it quickly."
Ye Wan touched her brother's head with relief and picked up the brown sugar water to drink. After drinking it, she felt much better. However, she had just had the ring removed, and the doctor said she had some inflammation and needed to take medication for a few days.
Spring Festival was approaching, and school was on winter break. All the students were dragging their suitcases to catch their rides home. Ye Wan and Jiang Yan were both from the city and had no luggage at school. They walked out together with their backpacks.
"Regarding what happened last time, I still haven't thanked Mr. Gu. I'd like to treat him to a meal to express my gratitude. What do you think?" Jiang Yan was truly grateful for Gu Yunting's righteous rescue. Although she knew it was because of Ye Wan, she still wanted to thank him.
