Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: She Cannot Give Birth to This Child

"Doctor Su!" Upon seeing Su Nanxing, the old master greeted her with a handshake, his face bright with joy. "I'm here to thank you!"

Su Nanxing helped the old master to sit down. "Take your time, no rush," she said.

He eagerly started, "Let me tell you, after your acupuncture, I slept so well last night! And that medicinal meal you prescribed, I cooked and drank it. After that, I felt incredibly comfortable inside!"

It was only then that Luo Yewei realized the old master's spirit was significantly better than it was yesterday!

In just one day, the old master's posture had straightened, his voice had strengthened, and the dark circles under his eyes had vanished!

Luo Yewei stared at Su Nanxing, his eyes filled with disbelief!

Li Jianhua, as the old master's primary physician, also noticed the significant changes in him.

His gaze toward Su Nanxing suddenly carried a hint of suspicion—were acupuncture and medicinal meals really that miraculous?

Or was it just a coincidence?

Li Jianhua thought it was mostly a coincidence.

Even the National Medical Saint wouldn't dare claim they could cure such chronic diseases. How could this young newcomer have such confidence?

Yet Old Master Li praised Su Nanxing to the skies as if under a spell.

He even went as far as to ask her, "Doctor Su, I have a friend who had a cerebral hemorrhage last year and is now bedridden. Can you treat him?"

Su Nanxing replied, "Please have the patient come over first. I need to assess the situation."

Li Jianhua knew the friend Old Master Li was talking about.

The patient had suddenly fallen into a coma, become paralyzed, aphasic, and was in a hazy state of consciousness when he was brought to the hospital, diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage. It took two weeks for his mental state to gradually clear.

But after treatment in the hospital, although he could slightly move his fingers and toes, they were numb and uncoordinated, the limbs weak, making it impossible for him to lift his arms, let alone get out of bed and walk.

This was a typical post-hemorrhagic sequelae.

If the bleeding was minor, there might be a chance for the patient to stand up again after rehabilitation.

If the bleeding was extensive, most patients could end up with hemiplegia or even paraplegia.

Li Jianhua shook his head at the side, patted Zeng Guanghua's shoulder, and walked away.

Zeng Guanghua understood what he meant—post-hemorrhagic sequelae had almost no chance of recovery.

But he didn't want to dampen Su Nanxing's enthusiasm.

People learning Chinese medicine were becoming fewer.

The great nation had inherited this cultural treasure for thousands of years, but now it was on the decline.

The waning of traditional Chinese medicine was something no Chinese medicine practitioner wanted to see.

If possible, he also hoped that Chinese medicine could regain its former glory.

Every practitioner bears such a responsibility.

Every Chinese medicine practitioner is a hope.

After happily arranging a consultation time with Old Master Li for the next day, Su Nanxing was in a good mood.

She had lunch with Tang Ruoqing, and afterwards, the two took a stroll in the small garden behind the hospital.

Tang Ruoqing once again brought up the topic most important to her, "About the baby, what are you planning to do?"

Su Nanxing was silent for a few seconds before replying, "I want to have the baby."

With her understanding of her friend, Tang Ruoqing had guessed this would be her decision.

"What about Lu Beiyuan? When do you plan to tell him?"

Su Nanxing shook her head. "He isn't looking forward to the baby's arrival. Tangtang, I don't want to tell him. Anyway, after we get divorced, I won't see him again. I can raise this child on my own."

"Why put yourself through this?" Tang Ruoqing felt a pang of heartache, "You are still young, and you will find your own love in the future. Having a child with Lu Beiyuan…"

"I know." Su Nanxing linked arms with her and smiled, "Tangtang, will you be the godmother when the time comes?"

"Do you realize how hard it is to be a single mother? Xingxing, I really do not recommend you have this child. And also, the Old Master of the Lu Family, how will you explain it to him? Will he allow the Lu Family's bloodline to be left outside?"

"So I have to keep it from them," Su Nanxing said, cradling her stomach. "Tangtang, the child is innocent. And right now... he's all I have."

"Nonsense!" Tang Ruoqing heard this and couldn't help but embrace her, feeling distressed, "You have me too."

Neither of them noticed that hidden in a corner behind the greenery, Li Huaiyu stood there, her face filled with disbelief.

What had she heard?

Su Nanxing was pregnant?

When Meng Qingxue received a call from Li Huaiyu, she exclaimed, "What did you say? She's pregnant?"

"I heard her telling Tang Ruoqing myself. But don't worry, she doesn't plan to tell Lu Beiyuan and wants to have the baby on her own after the divorce."

Meng Qingxue couldn't help but worry.

A woman's intuition is always sharp.

Even though she didn't want to admit it, she was well aware that Lu Beiyuan hadn't let go of Su Nanxing.

If Lu Beiyuan knew about Su Nanxing's pregnancy, would this divorce still happen?

Even with the slightest possibility, she didn't dare to take the risk.

After hanging up the phone, her nails dug into her palm.

No, she absolutely couldn't let Su Nanxing have this child!

Having the child meant that Su Nanxing would be entangled with Lu Beiyuan for the rest of her life.

And in the future, would the Lu family's fortune have to include a share for this child?

Meng Qingxue's beautiful face was twisted with malice.

She would never allow such a thing to happen!

Today's banquet was her chance.

She had originally planned to get closer to Lu Beiyuan tonight, but now it seemed she could do something else as well.

Su Nanxing, when invited to the dinner, hadn't planned on going.

The host of the banquet wasn't really a friend to Su Nanxing; they had only met a few times.

But an elder had specifically called her to take care of his daughter who had just returned to the country.

Su Nanxing had once been graced by this elder and found it hard to decline, so she agreed to go.

She didn't expect that upon arriving, she would see Lu Beiyuan and Meng Qingxue as soon as she got out of the car.

Meng Qingxue was clinging to Lu Beiyuan's arm, the pair appearing extremely close.

Su Nanxing took a deep breath and walked inside without looking aside.

"Nanxing!"

It was Meng Qingxue who greeted her enthusiastically, "You're here too? What a coincidence."

Lu Beiyuan looked down at Su Nanxing.

Su Nanxing, pregnant, wasn't wearing high heels, just a simple little black dress.

But her fair skin and black hair, unadorned by makeup, made even the simplest outfit seem exceptionally elegant and beyond reach.

Dressed up and carefully styled, Meng Qingxue had thought she could overshadow her, especially in her custom gown from a well-known luxury brand.

But seeing Su Nanxing and noticing Lu Beiyuan's gaze firmly on her, Meng Qingxue wished she could tear off Su Nanxing's face, yet still had to maintain a gentle and virtuous appearance.

Su Nanxing really didn't want to deal with her, and even more, didn't want to see Lu Beiyuan standing next to her.

But Lu Beiyuan's gaze was fervent, almost tangible, making it impossible for Su Nanxing to ignore.

She didn't understand why, standing right beside Lu Beiyuan, he could still look at her so unabashedly.

Suddenly feeling nauseous, Su Nanxing raised her hand to her mouth and turned to bend over, retching a few times toward the ground.

"Nanxing!" Lu Beiyuan immediately let go of Meng Qingxue's hand and strode toward Su Nanxing.
