After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 200 Afraid of Drinking Chinese Medicine

Inside, there were some scattered items, including some old photos, letters, and a diary.

I picked up the diary, gently opened it, and was surprised to see Jiang Yichen's familiar handwriting.

The diary details some of Jiang Yichen's childhood experiences, including his painful memories of being bullied by others.

As I flipped through these words, I could almost feel his helplessness and despair at the time. However, on a certain page of the diary, I suddenly saw a description of myself.

Jiang Yichen wrote in his diary: "That day, she saved me. I watched her bravely stand up and take those people's punches for me. At that moment, I suddenly felt that I might have fallen in love with her."

I stood somewhat dazed at the locker room door, still clutching the diary I'd hastily shoved back into the suitcase. Before I could even examine the other items in the suitcase, I heard Jiang Yichen wake up in the bedroom. I quickly put the suitcase back in its original position and rushed out of the locker room to check on Jiang Yichen.

Jiang Yichen sat on the edge of the bed, looking somewhat tired but in good spirits. I picked up a glass of water and handed it to him, which he took and drank in one gulp. Then, he got up and went to the dressing room to change his clothes, preparing to go downstairs.

I followed closely behind, my heart pounding, afraid he would notice the box had been moved. However, Jiang Yichen merely glanced at the changing room, seemingly noticing the slight alteration to the box, but he said nothing. He just looked at me, his eyes seeming to hold some deeper meaning.

We went downstairs together, and Grandma was already waiting for us in the living room. When she saw Jiang Yichen, she asked with concern, "Yichen, why haven't you come downstairs these past two days? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jiang Yichen smiled and shook his head. "I've been too busy with work lately, so I haven't come downstairs. How has Grandma been feeling lately?"

“I’m fine. It’s all because you young people work so hard every day. When will you be able to have a child? You should also pay more attention to resting.”

Jiang Yichen put his hand on her shoulder and said with a smile, "I know, Grandma, we will definitely try our best."

Then, Grandma suddenly changed the subject and brought up the idea of ​​us seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. She said, "You two are not getting any younger, it's time to consider having a child. I heard there's a very good old TCM doctor nearby, let's go see him together and get some treatment."

Faced with my grandmother's insistence that we see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, I felt a strong sense of resistance, but I didn't dare to directly disobey her good intentions.

So I tried to find another excuse to steer the conversation toward the fact that I was still getting injections and taking medication, hoping to temporarily avoid the topic.

"Grandma, I'm still getting injections and taking medicine. How about we wait until we're both feeling better before we go see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor?" I suggested tentatively.

However, Grandma seemed to have seen through my little scheme. She pretended to be unhappy and replied, "That's precisely why you need to see a doctor! You've been sick for so long and haven't seen any improvement, which means the medicine you're taking isn't right. Go and see a doctor in a little while to find out what's wrong and get some new medicine to help you recover."

Jiang Yichen also noticed his grandmother's displeasure, and he quickly smiled to help me out: "Momo is just afraid of drinking Chinese medicine, that's why she's making excuses."

I smiled faintly, which was taken as tacit acceptance of Jiang Yichen's explanation.

Grandma took my hand and said meaningfully, "It's okay, no matter how hard the Chinese medicine tastes, Grandma will stay with you. Grandma has to take medicine every day now, so we can take it together."

Hearing this, I felt even more helpless.

Grandma is indeed taking medicine every day now, but she's using her own experience to encourage me. However, I really have some resistance to traditional Chinese medicine.

In the end, neither of us could persuade Grandma.

She gave Jiang Yichen the address and asked us to go see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor together. After I got in the car, I stared intently at Jiang Yichen and cautiously asked, "You're not really going to take me there, are you?"

Jiang Yichen felt a pang of pity seeing my frightened expression.

He smiled and comforted her, "There's no need to actually go see him. Just buy a couple of doses of herbal medicine to get by."

Hearing this, I stared in surprise, my eyes widening: "How could you do that? Wouldn't that be deceiving Grandma?"

Jiang Yichen looked at my serious expression, paused for a moment, and then sighed softly: "Alright, let's go take a look then. But let's make it clear beforehand, you have to cooperate with me and not give anything away."

I nodded helplessly, secretly vowing to myself that I must do my best this time and try not to disappoint my grandmother.

I've started to think that maybe seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor this time can really help me find a better way to regulate my body and help my body recover faster.

When it was my turn to have my pulse taken, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor focused intently on it for a while, then looked up at us and asked, "What problems have you two come to see me about?"

Jiang Yichen smiled slightly and replied, "We want to try to conceive, so we came to see how your body is doing."

After listening, the traditional Chinese medicine doctor nodded, but then gave a meaningful smile and said, "However, it seems that Mrs. Jiang is already pregnant."

Upon hearing this, I was instantly shocked and speechless. How could this be?

I have absolutely no signs or feelings of pregnancy! Jiang Yichen also looked surprised and quickly asked, "Doctor, how far along is my wife in her pregnancy?"

The traditional Chinese medicine doctor thought for a moment and replied, "It's probably been one or two months, but I still recommend going to the hospital for a detailed examination to confirm the pregnancy."

I was still in shock and it took me a while to come to my senses. I shook my head and said firmly, "Impossible, how could I be pregnant? I haven't had any symptoms lately!"

Jiang Yichen also seemed somewhat at a loss. He looked at me, his eyes full of doubt and concern. Then, he asked the traditional Chinese medicine doctor again, "Doctor, are you sure? Could there be a mistake?"

The traditional Chinese medicine doctor smiled and shook his head, saying, "Although I can't be 100% certain, based on my experience and the results of my pulse diagnosis, there's a high probability that Mrs. Jiang is pregnant. Of course, the most accurate way is to go to the hospital for a checkup."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yichen and I both realized that, whether we wanted to believe it or not, the most important thing now was to go to the hospital for further examination.

After leaving the TCM clinic, Jiang Yichen was overjoyed inside, but outwardly he pretended to be calm and drove me to the hospital. Sitting in the car, however, I was filled with mixed emotions and felt restless.

I've always believed that Jiang Yichen will eventually marry Lin Nan, and I don't want my child to be an illegitimate child, growing up in an environment without a complete family.
