CHAPTER 500: CHAPTER 499: SHEN MENGQI’S RELUCTANCE

Due to An Nan’s sudden fainting, all plans were thrown into chaos. Upon receiving the news, Shen Mengqi and Ouyang Lei rushed to the hospital immediately, but their expressions were quite strange, even An Nan, who was usually oblivious, noticed it.

"Brother Lei, Meng Qi, what’s going on with you two? Aren’t you happy that I’m pregnant?" An Nan asked hesitantly, because their reactions today were just too strange.

Upon hearing An Nan’s question, the two tense faces quickly softened, even Ouyang Lei, known for his aloofness, had a slight curve at the corners of his mouth. "Nothing’s wrong, An Nan, congratulations." Shen Mengqi’s smile was bright but didn’t reach her eyes. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to smile; she simply couldn’t bring herself to do it.

The person she liked, knowing full well that the person they loved was already married and had a child, remained so steadfast, which broke her heart. Could it really be as Han Xiayang said, that if after years of waiting you still get nothing, the only explanation is that the man truly doesn’t love you?

She thought of the phone call an hour ago before coming to the hospital, when she was at her desk at the Police Station reviewing a recent robbery case file. She received a call from Rocky, and at that moment she thought something was wrong with An Nan, but didn’t expect the other person to tell her, "An Nan got married and is pregnant. Due to health reasons, she fainted and was sent to the hospital. Let Lei know, so he can come to the hospital if he has time."

An Nan got married and is pregnant? Due to her busy work as a police officer, she didn’t have time to look at the news reports, so she hadn’t seen today’s online news.

She has already forgotten what kind of mood she was in when she put down the phone; her gaze remained fixed in one direction, unable to pull away for a long time.

Not knowing how much time had passed, how long she had been in a daze, after regaining her thoughts, she stood up from behind her desk and walked step by step towards the office with the plaque saying ’Director’s Room’.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in." The deep male voice was as steady as ever, and the owner of this voice had occupied a place in Shen Mengqi’s heart for over a decade.

Step by step, she entered until she stood in front of the desk. Shen Mengqi still didn’t know how to start talking, and after a long silence, the man in uniform behind the desk finally raised his calm gaze to look at her. "What’s up?"

Under the indifferent gaze of the black eyes, Shen Mengqi’s heart grew more conflicted, and she tentatively started to speak, "Rocky just called."

The calm black eyes finally showed a hint of change, which also caused a surge of agony in Shen Mengqi’s heart, and the next question from the man was just as she expected, "Is something wrong with An Nan?" The tension in his voice was completely unhidden.

The space where her heart was seemed to suffocate instantly, and Shen Mengqi almost shouted back, "Is An Nan all you care about?"

But finally, Shen Mengqi swallowed those words, the unwillingness engulfed her being and eroded her rationality, perhaps motivated by a vengeful mindset, she stated her purpose in one breath, "Rocky just called to say An Nan got married and she’s pregnant and fainted. He wants us to visit her in the hospital if we have time."
