I didn't even know what was wrong with me, yet I was dragged to the gynecology clinic by Xiao Minxing.
I felt confused and didn't dare to ask him anything, afraid of embarrassing myself in front of that girl. But as I saw the line getting closer to us, I wondered what I would say when it was my turn.
What was even more unbelievable was that the girl in apple green still had her hand hanging on his arm, which caused people in line to whisper about us. I guessed no one had ever seen the legitimate wife and the mistress getting along so harmoniously, let alone being brought by a man to see a gynecologist together.
The doctor looked at us with disdain, especially towards Xiao Minxing, not even bothering to look him in the eye. Instead, he spoke gently to me. However, when he asked what I needed to see him for, I could only raise my eyes to look at the man beside me.
He seemed completely unfazed and shameless, once again broadening my horizons.
"Doctor, four months ago, we lost a child due to improper intercourse. The doctor said we should wait six months before trying again, but last night we couldn't help ourselves and had intercourse again. I'm worried we might have accidentally conceived. Now we just want to check her physical condition. If everything is fine, we won't use contraception; if it happens again, we'll take precautions early."
I felt like my head was going to drop under the table; my whole body was burning with embarrassment. I could clearly feel the strange gazes from those around us and the deep malice in the eyes of the girl in apple green.
Fortunately, the doctor seemed unfazed by our situation and handed us a form to go for an external examination in the adjacent surgery room.
Afterward, we went through an ultrasound and blood tests. Once everything was confirmed fine, the doctor noted on the examination report that I could conceive but advised that due to insufficient nutrition in my body, I needed to supplement my nutrition throughout the entire pregnancy period. He also seriously provided a nutritional adjustment plan.
While Xiao Minxing was busy running around taking care of these matters, the girl in apple green stood beside me in the hallway.
Her expression was strange, as if she were evaluating a toy she wasn't very satisfied with. Her tone was not as gentle as when she spoke to Xiao Minxing; instead, it carried a hint of disdain as she asked, "You can't be mute, can you? How come you haven't said a word from beginning to end? You let Xiao Minxing speak for you on such an embarrassing issue. Don't you know he cares about his image?"
In fact, her demeanor made me feel inferior; like Xiao Minxing, she exuded wealth and arrogance. So when I saw them getting along so well together, I couldn't help but question whether my presence affected their beautiful relationship. But hearing her speak now made me unable to suppress my anger.
In a fit of irritation and without thinking too much about it, I replied directly, "I don't know; he never cares about his image in front of me."
The expression on her face changed instantly; she shot me a fierce glare as if she had never encountered someone so shameless before and then turned away.
However, when Xiao Minxing returned, she had already wrapped her arm around his again like a green humanoid environmental mascot.
The person working at the hospital's surgery department was her brother named Lu Yiheng. I had seen him twice before and knew he had a good relationship with Xiao Minxing, but that was all; we hadn't even spoken since I rarely went out.
He appeared much more cultured than the girl in apple green and was polite to me as he led us to the staff lounge and said, "Wait for me here for a moment; there are two more patients. I'll come over once I'm done. You should have told me earlier that you were coming; I'll adjust my schedule for today."
Lu Yishan then acted cute, saying, "Isn't it strange to have to make an appointment just to see your own brother? You're here now, so you could have made time to see us."
Lu Yi Heng patted his head and said, "You're already grown up, yet you still have the heart of a child."
While the two siblings were having a tender moment, Xiao Minxing simply smiled at them before lowering his head to go through the documents and receipts provided by the doctor.
I was curious as well, so I leaned over to look with him. It was only when Lu Yishan ran over to cling to him that we realized her brother had already left.
I still don't know why she insisted on dragging Xiao Minxing here on a weekend, but there's no doubt that this girl harbors ulterior motives towards him.
This is also a woman's intuition.
At noon, the four of us had lunch together, and in the afternoon, we went out to play golf. It was mainly Xiao Minxing and Lu Yi Heng playing while I mostly sat still. Lu Yishan ran back and forth behind them, her face flushed from the heat. Dressed in a green dress, she truly radiated youth and vitality.
In comparison to her, I felt like an old woman in her twilight years, having little expectation for life or existence—just living each day as it comes.
Sitting alone was tiring and boring, so I stood up and walked along the grass towards the exit.
The golf course here is quite large, with rolling hills above and lush grass that looks great. On weekends, some wealthy people come here to relax, and it's common to see beautiful women in white hats driving electric carts to deliver balls or water.
Today, I hadn't anticipated the activities afterward, so I wore a loose top with jeans and white casual shoes. This outfit was meant for a quick getaway if I spotted any trouble but ended up being unnecessary.
Not far away, someone was playing golf. The figure was slender, and their shadow stretched long and thin in the slanting sunlight, almost reflecting at my feet.
I took a few steps to the side to distance myself from them; I wasn't looking to strike up a conversation or cause any trouble.
However, after that person swung their club, they ran over in my direction instead.
With a smile on his face, he greeted me from afar: "Miss Qiu, is that really you?"
I recognized him from his voice—Su Qian.
Recently, I have been quite fated with him. I just saw him yesterday, and today I ran into him again.
Just as I was thinking this, he spoke up: "We really are fated! I was thinking about whether I would run into you when I came out today, and I didn't expect to actually meet you. Did you come alone?"
I shook my head and pointed to a few small dots of people in the distance, saying, "I came with my husband and his friends."
Su Qian responded with an "Oh" and changed the topic: "I'm feeling bored. How about playing a couple of rounds with me?"
I felt my face flush and shook my head at him, saying, "I don't know how to play."
He didn't mind at all: "That's even better! Teaching someone to play is more fun than playing by yourself. Come on, I'll teach you."
I simply didn't know how to refuse him. Anyway, he had already shoved a cue into my hands, and as I listened to him explain the movements, I still felt confused.
Su Qian got anxious and came over to correct my grip.
His movements were very natural, but I instinctively flinched away and couldn't help but glance towards Xiao Minxing.
Su Qian also took a look and naturally let go of my hand, saying, "How about we take a break? It's better to drink some water and chat."
I sighed in relief, returned the cue to him, and walked with him towards the nearby sunshade.
