Mr. Li, my wife doesn’t want to remarry and secretly gives birth to a baby.

"Where is she now?"

Wang Ying shook her head, "Tongtong left in a hurry after her miscarriage, and I don't know where she went."

Li Jingchen felt something was off, so he took out his phone and called Jiang Tong.

No one answered her number.

Wang Ying said, "I called her but she didn't answer. I wonder if she went home."

Li Jingchen contacted the family's nanny, who said that Jiang Tong had not returned home.

Wang Ying suddenly said, "By the way, I saw Director Song go to the Jiang Group a few days ago. I wonder if he said something. Could it be that Tongtong miscarried because she was worried about the conflict between you and Director Song and feared it would affect your career?"

Li Jingchen frowned. "Who told you all this?"

Wang Ying said, "Tongtong told me that Director Song is putting pressure on you regarding your new project, and you are under a lot of pressure. She told us all about it."

Li Jingchen: "Us?"

Wang Ying continued, "It was during a meal with the female boss of our association that Tongtong brought it up. She said you've had it tough too, and she must have been understanding of you to have a miscarriage. Don't blame her! And..."

"Anything else?" Li Jingchen was about to get into the car to find Jiang Tong, but then looked at Wang Ying, who seemed hesitant to speak.

Wang Ying sighed and then said, "Tongtong told me that, by a twist of fate, she almost ended up with Director Song's son! I heard that Director Song even expressed his regret to her. Once, when Tongtong was drunk, she also told me that she regretted not being with that lawyer Song..."

The voice just fell.

It was obvious that Li Jingchen's face turned extremely gloomy.

Wang Ying shut her mouth in time. Li Jingchen had already gotten into the car and driven away.

……

Jiang Tong had just returned from acupuncture at a traditional Chinese medicine clinic recommended by Wang Ying.

The old Chinese medicine doctor said that her back pain was a lingering problem from not taking proper care of herself during her postpartum period.

When Jiang Tong gave birth to Jiang Mingyang for the first time, she did not observe the postpartum confinement period. In addition, it was already late summer and early autumn, and the weather was turning cool, so her body had accumulated a lot of cold.

The traditional Chinese medicine doctor also said that she had suffered a back injury.

Jiang Tong thought for a moment and realized it must have been when they went to the mountains, when they went to collect firewood with Xiaoman and Xiaohan.

A child almost fell off a cliff. To save the child, she grabbed a tree trunk, injuring her arm and straining her back. Later, when she returned to Nandi, she didn't care about it.

Your body remembers all the old health problems you developed.

Jiang Tong sighed. She hadn't dared to tell Li Jingchen what she had been doing these past few days, afraid that he would blame himself. After seven days of acupuncture, her back pain had subsided.

On her way back to Fujiang Rose, before she even got home, a familiar Maybach blocked her path.

Jiang Tong was puzzled. She got out of the car, and Li Jingchen also got out, his tall and broad figure looming over her.

"Where did you go?"

"Just got back from the company."

lie.

Li Jingchen didn't expose Jiang Tong's lie, but stared intently at her. He spoke with difficulty, "Where's the child?"

Jiang Tong stared at him too, "What child?"

Li Jingchen's voice was extremely hoarse: "Where's the baby in your belly?"

Jiang Tong was stunned. What? A baby in her belly?

Li Jingchen finally took out the report with a blank expression.

"I've been waiting for you to tell me yourself that you're pregnant again, but you had an abortion. Why did you have to make that decision alone?"

Jiang Tong looked at the inexplicable painless abortion report, took a deep breath, and was about to explain when Wang Ying, who was following Li Jingchen, hurriedly got out of the car.

"President Li, please don't argue with Tongtong. She just had a miscarriage and is still very weak."

Wang Ying gritted her teeth. "Tongtong, apologize to her."

Jiang Tong was completely bewildered. "What am I supposed to apologize for? What are you all talking about?!"

"Mr. Li knows about your miscarriage."

Jiang Tong felt as if struck by lightning. She stared into Li Jingchen's eyes again. His eyes were filled with pain and confusion, and he was determined to ask her for an answer.

Jiang Tong explained, "I'm not pregnant, and I don't know where this order came from."

Wang Ying quickly stepped forward, "Tongtong didn't want you to know, Tongtong—I told your husband you were pregnant. I thought you would tell him, I didn't expect you to..."

Jiang Tong's heart sank heavily. "Sister Ying, what nonsense are you talking about? When was I ever pregnant?"

Wang Ying sighed, "Tongtong, stop hiding it. President Li knows. You went to the hospital with me last time for an ultrasound, didn't you? This time you dragged me to the hospital for an abortion."

"I—" Jiang Tong was speechless. She had indeed gone for a check-up last time because of back pain.

But it wasn't her who dragged Wang Ying there; it was Wang Ying who showed up halfway and insisted on going with her.

Then, she did go to the hospital again, because...

Li Jingchen's eyes were unfathomable. "Whether you've been to an obstetrics and gynecology clinic or not, I can find out by investigating."

Jiang Tong explained to him very seriously, word by word, "I did go to the OB-GYN, but I'm not pregnant. I told you, I just have back pain."

"Then why didn't you answer my call just now?"

"I'm... getting acupuncture, and my phone is on silent."

Li Jingchen suddenly grabbed her arm. "Didn't you just say you were at the company?"

Jiang Tong didn't know how to explain herself, to make up for the helplessness of having shot herself in the foot.

"I am really not pregnant, and I did not have a miscarriage. I really don't know anything about this report."

Her face was pale.

Li Jingchen pursed his thin lips and slowly released his grip on her slender arm.

Wang Ying spoke up again, "Don't fight, try to be understanding of each other. After all, you still have three children."

Jiang Tong looked at Wang Ying and said, "Sister Ying, I don't know what you're up to. You know perfectly well that I'm not pregnant."

Wang Ying said, "Tongtong, I know you're considerate of President Li's recent hard work, but you should have told him you were pregnant."

"Mom, Chestnut always calls Dad..."

Jiang Mingyang came over.

Li Feifan followed behind, bouncing and skipping.

The two little ones saw the security camera at home and noticed that the two of them didn't come in, so they came out to check.

Jiang Tong swallowed back the words she was about to say, and Li Jingchen also put the examination report into his pocket.

Li Feifan ran over to Li Jingchen first, grabbing his suit pants, "Dad, make some wontons!"

He promised him he would make him wontons this weekend!

It's Saturday already!

Li Jingchen's phone rang in his pocket. He frowned when he saw the caller ID.

"Son, I'm sorry, Dad can't make you wontons today. I'll make them for you another day. You two, go home with your mom first."

Done.

Li Jingchen glanced coldly at Jiang Tong, "You should go back first."

Jiang Tong was heartbroken, not only because of Li Jingchen's distrust, but also because of Wang Ying's betrayal.

So he didn't believe her?

Li Jingchen glanced in Jiang Tong's direction again, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly, before getting into his car and driving away.

Wang Ying also turned and left, not daring to look at Jiang Tong. "I...I have something to do at home, I'm leaving too."
