Chapter 709: 0699 let me hug you again

Su Ran raised an eyebrow. “You still have the mood to worry about them?”

“Why not? We’re all classmates, what’s wrong with showing a little concern? But speaking of which, why are you so hot-tempered today? Feeling bad because you can’t see your Mr. Fu?”

Su Ran looked at her, the corner of her lips curving into a meaningful smile.

“Want to know why I’m hot-tempered?”

“Mhm.”

“Tell me Chi Mu’s address, and you’ll find out.”

Ye Zhichen looked at her in surprise. “You want to beat him up?”

Su Ran patted her hand. “Don’t worry, I won’t beat him to death.”

Ye Zhichen was amused by her words. “With that little body of yours, it’s still uncertain who would beat whom, so forget it. If you get hurt, Mr. Fu would flay me alive.”

“He’s not that cruel, at most he’ll just beat me back!”

“I can’t take even a beating back though. But you’re not going back home tonight; he won’t come storming over, will he?”

“No, he’s not that clingy.”

No sooner had Su Ran spoken than her phone began to ring.

Seeing the man’s caller ID, her face felt a bit hot with pain.

She answered the call under Ye Zhichen’s teasing gaze.

“Hello?”

“Where are you?”

Su Ran: “At Zhichen’s home, didn’t I send you a message?”

Fu Qiyuan: “Mhm.”

“What’s up? Have you gone home?”

Su Ran, noticing something off in the man’s voice, asked.

Fu Qiyuan: “…No.”

Su Ran frowned. “Why haven’t you gone home yet? Is the company very…”

“Open the door.” Fu Qiyuan suddenly said.

“Huh?” Su Ran blinked. “You’re here?”

“Mhm.”

“Wait a second.” Without a moment to spare, Su Ran left the room under Ye Zhichen’s watchful eyes.

As soon as she opened the door, there stood Fu Qiyuan, looking weary as if he traveled a long distance.

Seeing the man suddenly in front of her, Su Ran was somewhat taken aback.

“How did you get here?”

The man didn’t speak, just quietly looked at her.

Su Ran moved two steps closer to him, seeing the fatigue between his brows, she couldn’t help but feel heartache.

“Didn’t I tell you I wouldn’t be coming home tonight? There’s something going on at Zhichen’s place, and I might need to keep her company for a couple of days. You didn’t have to rush over in the middle of the night, you…”

Fu Qiyuan opened his arms and hugged the girl into his embrace.

Su Ran hugged him back and asked, “Fu Qiyuan, what’s wrong?”

“Just needed a hug.”

Su Ran paused. “You came all this way just for a hug?”

Fu Qiyuan stroked her hair. “Otherwise, I couldn’t sleep at night.”

Su Ran didn’t know what to feel, “Fu Qiyuan…”

Fu Qiyuan smiled and kissed her on the forehead.

“It’s late, go to sleep.”

As if he really came all this way at night just for a hug.

Su Ran was reluctant to let go, but thinking of the man’s weariness, she still released him.

“You should rest early too.”

“Alright.” Fu Qiyuan looked at her for a while, then turned to leave.

“Fu Qiyuan…” Just after he had taken a couple of steps, Su Ran suddenly called out to him.

He turned around, looking at the girl with a puzzled expression.

She stretched out her arms and smiled at him:

“Another hug for you.”

Fu Qiyuan paused, then a rippling smile appeared on his lips.

He stepped forward, hugging the girl once again, his heart turning to mush.

Su Ran wrapped her arms around his waist, patted his back, and soothed:

“With these two hugs, you’ll surely sleep well tonight.”

A low laugh escaped from Fu Qiyuan’s throat, “Mhm.”

Su Ran stepped back from his embrace. “Okay, you should get back and rest well.”

“You too.”

“Mhm, be careful on the road.”

“Alright.”

After Fu Qiyuan left, Su Ran stood at the end of the corridor. It was only after she saw his car leave through the glass window that she returned to her room.

–

The next morning.

Su Ran and Ye Zhichen went to the hospital early in the morning.

Since Ye Zhichen had scheduled ahead of time, they didn’t need to register anew or pay again; they just had to wait in line until their number was called.

On the third floor of the obstetrics and gynecology department, the two sat in chairs and waited. Zhichen was somewhat nervous; her palms were sweating.

Su Ran held her hand, reassuring her:

“Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong.”

Ye Zhichen took a deep breath and nodded.

Soon, the sound of numbers being called echoed in the lobby. Su Ran accompanied Zhichen in and sat nervously in front of the doctor.

The doctor was a middle-aged woman in her forties, looking at Ye Zhichen with a gentle expression.

“Miss Ye, have you made up your mind? Do you still plan not to keep it?”

Ye Zhichen shook her head, her complexion pale, “No.”

Perhaps noticing the pallor of Zhichen’s face, the OB-GYN doctor once again spoke, trying to persuade her:

“Miss Ye, a child is a gift from heaven. He has come into your womb; that is also fate between you two. Moreover, an abortion isn’t good for your health. You should really think it over.”

“Zhichen.”

Hearing the doctor’s words, Su Ran couldn’t help but call out to Ye Zhichen.

A flash of pain crossed Zhichen’s eyes, and after a moment, she said firmly:

“There is no need to think, Doctor. Please arrange for the surgery as soon as possible!”

As she spoke, her expression was somewhat urgent.

The doctor looked at Ye Zhichen and sighed helplessly. She opened a bunch of tests on the computer and then handed the slip to Su Ran.

“Go and get the tests done first!”

Su Ran took the test slip, thanked the doctor, and the two of them left the consultation room.

In the hallway.

Su Ran looked seriously at Ye Zhichen, “Zhichen, are you really sure about this?”

Ye Zhichen’s face was pale as she nodded.

Su Ran still felt a pang of reluctance, but thinking of Chi Mu, she hardened her face.

“What if you divorce Chi Mu, give birth to the child, and I’ll help you raise it as if it were my own?”

Hearing Su Ran’s words, Ye Zhichen smiled.

“Xiao Ran, the Chi Family will not allow their offspring to be cast adrift.”

Even if she gave birth to the child and divorced Chi Mu, she would still not win custody of the child.

This was something Su Ran surely knew.

“But…”

“Xiao Ran, stop, I have made my decision.”

Seeing the pained expression on Zhichen’s face, Su Ran’s eyes grew cold, and her teeth chattered with a ‘clack clack’ sound.

Down the long corridor, her voice echoed ominously.

“That indecisive bastard better not let me run into him!”

In the end, Su Ran still took Ye Zhichen to get the tests done.

Ultrasound, blood tests, electrocardiograms, and so on.

After a series of tests, over two hours had passed.

The two returned to the consultation room, and the doctor looked at the test results in her hand.

“Six weeks pregnant, the fetus is very healthy, Miss Ye, I’ll ask you once more, are you sure you don’t want this child?”

Upon hearing “six weeks pregnant, the fetus is very healthy,” Ye Zhichen couldn’t help but tremble in her eyes.

Two seconds later, she looked up, “No.”

The female doctor shook her head, did not try to persuade further, wrote an abortion consent form, and handed it to her.

“Pay on the first floor, operation on the fifth floor.”

Ye Zhichen took the form, her hand still trembling slightly.

She clutched the form tightly in her hand, her voice trembling as well.

“Thank you, Doctor!”

After speaking, she left the consultation room.
