Chapter 366: 366, did Xiaobai get drunk?

She didn’t know if it was the alcohol she had consumed, but she exuded an air of indulgence and unruliness today. His eyes were like two deep pools, looking at her straight and unblinking, shimmering with a hint of drunkenness. They were red and tantalizing, seemingly drunk, yet not, dreamy and flirtatious…

She couldn’t help but be drawn in, as if he was pulling her towards him.

She knew that men reveal their true selves when drunk.

No wonder people say… drinking can lead to calamities.

Qu Yunyao felt an illusion as though something was pulling at her heart, giving her courage and impetus.

Taking another step forward, she could smell the strong and distinct masculine scent coming from him.

“Brother-in-law,” Qu Yunyao’s voice was soft, gentle, and full of amorous allure, “Are you drunk?”

Xiao Yebai didn’t say anything.

She looked around, trembling hand reaching towards his face.

The surroundings were quiet, only the sound of her own thundering heartbeat was audible.

Thump, thump, thump.

Just as her fingers was about to touch his cheek, the world before her eyes spun and she felt a sudden burning sensation on the back of her hand.

“Ah!”

Qu Yunyao couldn’t help but scream.

“Sorry.” His cold voice followed immediately.

Tears welled up in Qu Yunyao’s eyes from the pain.

She looked down at her hand.

The back of her hand was naturally delicate and white, but now it was seared with a cigarette butt.

It was so violent that the skin had broken and the fresh, tender flesh underneath was visible. She could even smell something burnt…

There was sure to be a scar left behind.

Qu Yunyao was in unbearable pain. She gritted her teeth and waited for the pain to fade. When she finally looked up…

Xiao Yebai was nowhere to be seen.

He did it on purpose!

He surely did it on purpose!

Qu Yunyao was both mad and upset, yet she could not voice her grievances.

Fearing that her prolonged absence might raise suspicion, she quickly returned to the restroom to rinse her wound with cold water before heading back.

Indeed, by the time she returned to the living room, everyone was already seated on the couch.

Upon seeing her, Xu Jing frowned, “Why did it take you so long just to use the restroom? Making all the elders wait for you, it’s not right.”

Qu Yunyao could only apologize, “I’m sorry, I…1 just received a call.”

At this moment, Mo Weiyi returned with a female doctor by his side.

She looked about forty or fifty with a short black hair that made her seem youthful and vibrant. She was currently chatting and laughing with Mo Weiyi. “Dr. Pu, is my granddaughter’s health okay?” Mo Yaoxiong’s booming voice inquired.

Dr. Pu chuckled and replied, “Miss Mo is inherently averse to cold and has a weak constitution. Given the cold weather, she needs to keep warm. I just prescribed a tonic for her. With regular intake for several weeks, she should naturally be able to conceive…”

“Pregnant?” Mo Yaoxiong interrupted in surprise.

Qu Yunyao was equally shocked.

Dr. Pu laughed, “Miss Mo said she wanted to have a baby as soon as possible, so I gave her the cleansing prescription.”

“Yiyi wants to have a baby?” There was a gleam in Mo Yaoxiong’s eyes.

Mo Weiyi, blushing, tugged at her grandfather’s arm, “Grandpa, don’t you want to hold your great grandson?”

“Hahaha…” Mo Yaoxiong let out a hearty laugh, “In that case, Dr. Pu, you must take good care of my granddaughter’s body, maybe I can hold my great-grandson while I’m still alive!”

Xiao Yebai was sitting there with a smirk on his lips that seemed both real and fake.

Mo Weiyi sneaked a glance at him, seeing no sign of objection, she felt content.

“Right.” Mo Yaoxiong added, “Dr. Pu, since you’re here, why don’t you examine Yunyao and Xu Jing as well?”

Qu Yunyao was startled, “No, I’m in perfect health, we shouldn’t trouble Dr. Pu.”

“What are you talking about!” Xu Jing gave her a warning look, then turned to Dr. Pu with a smile, “We would be grateful if you could, Dr. Pu.”

Dr. Pu slightly smiled, “Miss Biao, come with me to the back guest room.”

“I really don’t need to, my health is quite good…” Qu Yunyao wanted to protest.

She did not know if it was because she had just been scalded by Xiao Yebai. She always felt uneasy and had a bad hunch.

“Didn’t you say you had a bad stomach just now?” Mo Yaoxiong thought she was being shy, “Don’t be shy. Dr. Pu is a famous doctor at Nancheng Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Usually, you had to book an appointment months in advance.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Jing put more force into her grip, “Hurry up, don’t keep people waiting.”

As a guest, she was afraid her daughter didn’t understand the world.

Especially since this doctor had such a high status, they were deriving benefits from Mo Weiyi, and it was too pretentious to be unwilling and indecisive about it.

Seeing that Qu Yunyao was still sitting without moving, she frowned, simply walked over, and pulled her daughter towards the guest room.

**

In the guest room, Qu Yunyao looked flustered.

If it was just a physical checkup, it should not be able to reveal anything about a pregnancy, right? After all, traditional Chinese medicine did not include any urine tests…

Comforting herself like this, her expression gradually calmed down.

Dr. Pu quickly came in and smiling, she sat down on the sofa next to her, “Miss Biao, please give me your hand.”

Qu Yunyao looked at her and extended her left hand.

Doctor Pu placed two fingers on her wrist and began to feel her pulse.

Qu Yunyao was gossiping in her heart.

Just like this?

After a while, Dr. Pu’s brows furrowed slightly, then she smiled and said, “Miss Biao, please give me your right hand.”

Qu Yunyao carefully extended her right hand, fearing that Xu Jing would see the burn on the back of her hand.

Dr. Pu began to feel her pulse in her right hand.

As time went by slowly, Qu Yunyao began to calm down.

Then, Dr. Pu finally let go of her hand, a faint smile on her face.

“Dr. Pu, how is my daughter’s health?” Xu Jing quickly asked.

Dr. Pu looked at her, her smile widening, “Congratulations, your daughter is already two months pregnant.”

Qu Yunyao’s eyes widened suddenly, her blood almost surged upward, directly reaching her forehead, leaving her momentarily dazed.

“What?” Xu Jing’s voice suddenly rose, trembling with shock, “Dr. Pu, did… did you say my daughter is pregnant?”

“Yes, she is more than two months pregnant, the fetus…”

“You’re talking nonsense!” Qu Yunyao quickly interrupted her, grasping Xu Jing’s arm and explaining desperately, “Mom, don’t believe her, she is talking nonsense, I am not pregnant, I am really not pregnant…”

“Miss Biao.” Dr. Pu interrupted with a calm voice, “Please don’t doubt my professionalism. From a traditional Chinese medicine perspective, your pulse is lively and smooth, which is indeed a slippery pulse…”

“I was just a bit excited just now, stop talking nonsense!” Qu Yunyao interrupted again.

The debate quickly reached the living room outside, Mo Yaoxiong had already walked over at the sound, “What happened?”

Before Qu Yunyao had time to stop her, Dr. Pu swiftly walked out of the guest room and said loudly, “Miss Biao is two months pregnant…”

“What? Yunyao is pregnant?” Mo Weiyi’s voice was surprised.

Xu Jing stood in the doorway of the guest room, feeling utterly embarrassed.

But Qu Yunyao had already chased her out, pulling hard at Dr. Pu’s arm and shouting, “What are you blabbering about? I didn’t get pregnant at all, don’t listen to her nonsense!”

Old man Mo frowned deeply, looking displeased.

This Qu Yunyao was only nineteen years old and was always obedient, timid, and not talkative.

Although he didn’t much like this character, he still thought she was a decent and sensible girl. He never expected that she would be pregnant before marriage… His impression of her fell immensely.

“Why didn’t you say you were pregnant when you were?” Mo Weiyi thought for a moment, “Two months? At that time we were all in Haicheng, I remember you were with your boyfriend then. No wonder.”

After speaking, he immediately looked at Xiao Yebai, “Xiaobai, look, Yunyao is pregnant. She’s even younger than me.”

Xiao Yebai pursed his lips and didn’t say a word.

“Pm not, it must be false, how could it be, I’m not pregnant!” Qu Yunyao started shouting.

Mo Yaoxiong frowned and then, Dr. Pu’s voice rang out calmly, “I am fifty-eight years old this year. I entered the traditional Chinese medicine industry when I was twenty years old. I have been practising medicine for over thirty years and have never misdiagnosed!”

“You… You only touched my hand, how could you find out I was pregnant?” Qu Yunyao just wanted to deny it.

“Miss Biao is ignorant, I don’t blame you. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to seeing, hearing, asking, and cutting. After a woman is pregnant, her pulse is different from the past. Because after pregnancy, the blood flow in the pregnant woman’s body is higher than the average person, so the pulse beat is more lively and smooth, like a pearl running on a plate, this is called a slippery pulse. I guarantee with my over thirty years of traditional Chinese medicine experience, my diagnosis will absolutely not be wrong..”
