Xia Ling shook her head to indicate that she was fine. After that, he looked at Chu Chen and understood that this was not a place where they could talk freely.
Feng Kun invited her to his office and made Chu Chen stand outside.
When the door closed, the quiet sound-absorbing wall and the thick, soft carpet transported her into another world. Feng Kun invited Xia Ling to take a seat and brewed Biluochun tea for her. The aroma of the tea made her relax slowly.
“I’m sorry. I was making music in the afternoon and forgot the time such that you ran into trouble.” He said.
She smiled. “It’s nothing. By the way, why were you at the 18th floor?”
“After I finished making music, I didn’t see you and heard someone say that you went to the 18th floor, so I went up to take a look.” Feng Kun explained.
“You’re very well-informed.”
Feng Kun glanced at her. “I had no choice. Your commotion was so big that it would be difficult for me not to know about it. There were very few people who dare to quarrel with Xia Yu, and you are the only one who dares to disrespect Chu Chen.”
Xia Ling felt annoyed after hearing those two names and leaned her arms against the sofa lifelessly.
Feng Kun asked, “I thought that you always doted on your sister. Why did you suddenly quarrel with her? I wanted to ask you this a long time ago. It seemed that ever since your rebirth, you aren’t too fond of her anymore. Also, why didn’t you tell her who you are?”
In her past life, Xia Yu only revealed her true, vicious nature after Xia Ling was imprisoned. No one knew about this so, in Feng Kun’s eyes, they were still a pair of amicable sisters.
Xia Ling did not want him to tell him about the bitter truth, so she turned her head and said, “I’m already in a different life, so I don’t think we can be considered sisters anymore.”
Perhaps she sounded too vexed or Feng Kun suspected something. He stopped asking further questions but said, “This is also good. There’s less risk if fewer people know about it. Xiao Ling, I still think that you should be careful around your sister.”
In her past life, he had advised Xia Ling with the same words. Unfortunately, at that time, she did not take him seriously.
Thinking about the past, Xia Ling’s smile vanished. “In the past, you said that her mind was complicated. Why didn’t I believe you then?”
“That’s because you doted on her.” Feng Kun said faintly. “When you dote on someone, you will always feel that everything is good.”
Dote…
Xia Ling silently recited this word in her heart, and the pain spread. “Why did I dote on her until she ended up like this?” She treated Xia Yu so well and would give her the moon and the stars in a heartbeat, so why did Xia Yu hate her so much?
For a moment, she was a little deep in thought. When she came back to reality, she realized that Feng Kun was looking at her.
She concealed her emotions and said, “I’m not the only reason why Xia Yu is so flamboyant now. It’s also Pei Ziheng’s fault. Perhaps one day, the higher she climbs, the more severe she will fall.”
“Have you realized that,” Feng Kun tapped his clean fingers on the table. “Xia Yu really resembles you now?”
“Resembles me?”
“I mean, you from the past.” Feng Kun thought about it and corrected himself. “In the past, she was not like that. She was incredibly pitiful and looked weak and fragile. However, now, she’s different. She’s more arrogant and proud now, and acts as you did in the past.”
Xia Ling smiled bitterly. Perhaps it was because Xia Yu finally revealed her true colors after her death. Or maybe Xia Yu was like that because she felt she could gain more of Pei Ziheng’s love this way. Pei Ziheng liked beautiful and self-willed females. As for whether the person was Xia Ling… Even Xia Ling did not know if that were an important factor.
Xia Ling said, “No matter how much she resembles me, she hates me.”
Feng Kun raised his eyebrows in surprise. “I told you to be careful of her, but I think you’re too careful. Why did you quarrel with her until you hate each other now?”
She bit her lip and did not answer him.
“No matter what, she’s your sister.” Feng Kun said. “There’s this saying that when you miss a person, you will become more like her. Xiao Ling, although your sister’s mind is complicated, it doesn’t mean that you don’t mean anything to her.”
“How is that possible?” Xia Ling rebuked without thinking. It was absurd to think that Xia Yu really had her in her heart. Who was the one who cruelly humiliated her, provoked her, and told her to die?
“Xiao Ling, don’t go from one extreme to another extreme.” Feng Kun continued to advise her.
Xia Ling shook her head. “Don’t say any more, Ah Kun. What happened with Xia Yu is in the past. It’s better to be strangers in this life.”
As such, he stopped talking about her and changed the subject.
“I’m almost done arranging a doctor to do your pregnancy test for you. This matter is very important and must be settled very carefully.” Feng Kun said. Pei Ziheng had a noble status and was not someone anyone wanted to offend. Furthermore, someone who was the chief doctor would probably be very accomplished in society and was not stupid, so he would not take this sort of risk for money.
At the start, Feng Kun’s progress was not very smooth.
However, after a secret investigation, he visited an old expert from Huaxin Mother and Child Specialist Hospital. That old expert was very insistent about adhering to the traditional principles of the older generation which included honesty, integrity, medical ethics, and professional skills. More importantly, he was not afraid of power, hatred, and enmity at all.
He told the old expert about Xia Ling and Li Lei’s love story.
In the story, he described Pei Ziheng as an abusive demon and told the old expert that if Pei Ziheng found out that the child was Li Lei’s, Xia Ling would definitely be forced to abort the child.
The old expert was so furious that he slammed his fist on the table. Life was a very sacred thing. Abortion by young people was something that was incomprehensible to him. Moreover, the poor girl in the story was still forced to undergo an abortion. After confirming that the story was authentic, which were mainly through Feng Kun’s earnest attitude as he was very eloquent, looking at the romantic photo of Li Lei and Xia Ling, the old expert could not help but believe it because it involved famous people who were even mentioned in news reports before. As such, the old expert decided to help the poor girl cover up the truth about her pregnancy month.
He asked Feng Kun to visit him a few days later and wait for him to arrange everything in the hospital to ensure that there were no flaws.
An old expert like him had a high status in the hospital, and it was much more convenient for someone like him to help her instead of a junior doctor. Feng Kun was extremely grateful to him and promised to visit him three days later to confirm the arrangement.
“You can now start to show some symptoms of morning sickness,” Feng Kun said to Xia Ling. “After Pei Ziheng finds out that you’re pregnant and wants to bring you for a check-up, make him choose Huaxin Hospital’s Senior Zhang Guoping. Do whatever it takes for him to make that decision. You can throw a tantrum, act like a spoiled child, or even beg. Be sure to make him bring you there.”
Xia Ling nodded with a solemn expression. “I understand.” This was a major event that affected the life of her child, and she could not allow any flaws in her plan. Even if her life were on the line, she would not consult other doctors.
Feng Kun said with concern, “You have suffered.”
He took out a few books for her. “These are some precautions you have to take note of during pregnancy for novice pregnant women. I guess that it’s not convenient for you to learn about this at home, so I bought a few books which will be placed in the studio.”
