Chapter 497 -0495 A Fortuitous Encounter (First Update)_1
Inside the room, Yang Xiaoqiao lay on the bed, deep in sleep, completely unaware of Ye Xiong’s intrusion.
Ye Xiong approached the bedside, touched her forehead, and found it burning hot. So she had a high fever; no wonder she was unresponsive and hadn’t even answered her phone.
The Nine Acupoint Divine Needles had an acupuncture method for reducing fever.
Ye Xiong took out the silver needle he carried with him, sterilized it, and prepared to take off her nightgown to administer the acupuncture treatment.
“What do you think you’re doing? I’m warning you, don’t mess around, or I’ll call the police,” Zhang Xiaoyan thought Ye Xiong was up to no good and hastily spoke out.
“Xiao Qiao has a fever; I’m treating her,” Ye Xiong said.
“Treating a fever involves taking off clothes? Who knows if you’re not just using treatment as an excuse to have your way?” Zhang Xiaoyan ran over to stop him from undressing Yang Xiaoqiao.
A shadow flashed before their eyes, and before Zhang Xiaoyan could react, she was knocked unconscious with a punch.
“So annoying, now it’s quiet.”
After that, Ye Xiong administered the needles to Yang Xiaoqiao. Half an hour later, she was sweating all over, and her fever had gone down.
Ye Xiong went to the wardrobe, found a piece of clothing to help her change into, and seeing her sound asleep, he carried Zhang Xiaoyan back to her room, dumped her on her bed, and then went back to Xiao Qiao’s room, lay down beside her, and slept fully clothed.
The next morning, Yang Xiaoqiao woke up, felt someone sleeping beside her, and jumped out of bed in fright.
Upon recognizing it was Ye Xiong, she let out a sigh of relief.
“Awake?”
Ye Xiong opened his eyes, saw her looking at him, and smiled, “You had a high fever last night, almost 104 degrees Fahrenheit. You were close to kicking the bucket.”

“Is it really that serious?” Yang Xiaoqiao was somewhat incredulous.
“Just kidding, but if you have a fever for too long, it can damage your brain,” Ye Xiong teased her nose and said, “Hurry up and get out of bed, let’s go to the hospital.”
“Why go to the hospital?” Yang Xiaoqiao’s face instantly paled.
“To check on our little baby,” he said.
Seeing her reaction, Ye Xiong knew what she was thinking and hugged her, saying, “Don’t worry, if you really are pregnant, we’ll have the baby, and I’ll take responsibility.”
“We’ll see when the time comes,” Yang Xiaoqiao sighed.
She was totally unprepared in her heart. Although she loved Ye Xiong dearly, he was not someone she could possess, and she did not want to live with the infamy of being the other woman all her life, so she had to think carefully.
After washing up in the bathroom, Yang Xiaoqiao walked out to the living room with Ye Xiong.
In the next room, Zhang Xiaoyan was fast asleep. Yang Xiaoqiao was very surprised; normally Zhang Xiaoyan should have been up by now. Why was she sleeping so soundly today?
Ye Xiong explained last night’s events to her, and when Yang Xiaoqiao heard that he had knocked Zhang Xiaoyan unconscious, she was speechless.
“She isn’t going to have any issues, is she?” Yang Xiaoqiao asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry, she won’t have any problems, she’ll wake up in a couple of hours,” Ye Xiong said.
Only then did Yang Xiaoqiao feel relieved, and they went to the hospital together.
At the hospital, after finding the doctor, the doctor asked Yang Xiaoqiao to run some tests, and she went into the bathroom with a pregnancy test in hand.
Ye Xiong waited outside the bathroom door when suddenly, a familiar figure emerged from the bathroom. The two of them locked eyes and were immediately stunned.
Ye Xiong’s face darkened instantly; why was it that every chance encounter had to involve Xiao Fangfang? Were they sworn enemies in a past life?
“Dumas, what are you doing loitering in front of the bathroom? Not scoping out pretty girls, are you?” Xiao Fangfang asked in bewilderment.
Ye Xiong was rendered speechless, unsure of how to explain.
“I heard you’ve been missing for over ten days, with no word on whether you were alive or dead. How did you end up here?” Xiao Fangfang asked curiously.
“Something happened a few days ago, but it’s all good now,” Ye Xiong said simply, hoping Xiao Fangfang would leave quickly. Otherwise, given this girl’s relationship with Yang Xinyi, if she found out he had gotten a girl pregnant, she was sure to tattle.
He didn’t want to make Yang Xinyi sad again.
“You still haven’t answered, why are you here?” Xiao Fangfang asked with a suspicious look in her eyes.
“I’m… waiting for the bathroom. It was full earlier, so I had to wait. I’ll go in now.”
Ye Xiong was about to enter when Yang Xiaoqiao came out, holding a pregnancy test and examining it as she walked.
“Ah Xiong, it kind of looks like it, but also not quite. Take a look for yourself.”
Ye Xiong wanted to stop her but it was too late; he instantly felt like his head was going to explode.
Why was it that every time he bumped into Xiao Fangfang, things like this happened?
The last time, he was with Luo Weiwei in a hotel room and she stumbled upon them; the time before that, he was at the hospital as a vegetable, went out for a late-night snack, and she saw him then too; now he came to the hospital with Yang Xiaoqiao to check on the pregnancy, and she ran into them again.
Xiao Fangfang’s gaze fell on Yang Xiaoqiao and she was immediately attracted by her appearance, then her eyes moved to the pregnancy test in her hand, and she realized what was going on.
To Ye Xiong’s surprise, she didn’t say anything this time, just stood there quietly, her expression different from the last two times.
“Let me introduce you, this is my friend, Xiao Fangfang, and this is my girlfriend, Yang Xiaoqiao,” Ye Xiong explained awkwardly.
A few minutes later.
Yang Xiaoqiao went to find a doctor with the pregnancy test, while Ye Xiong and Xiao Fangfang sat on the bench outside waiting.
“She’s pretty nice,” Xiao Fangfang suddenly said.
“Thanks,” Ye Xiong replied awkwardly. “She’s a good girl.”
“Because she’s a good girl, your sin is even greater. I kinda wish the woman you were with was just for sleeping with you. Purely for pleasure, or for money, they don’t really like you, that way, the harm wouldn’t be as deep,” Xiao Fangfang said.
Ye Xiong broke out in a cold sweat. Would he fall for that kind of woman?
But she made a point; the deeper the love, the more devastating the hurt.
“Even though I really dislike Luo Weiwei, I can’t deny she’s a nice girl; and Du Yuehua, even though she’s a widow, is a good woman too. That girl who just went in, she probably hasn’t been in society long, hasn’t picked up some of the bad habits, still looks quite innocent. Any one of these three girls, countless men would kill to have but can’t, yet you’ve ruined them all.”
“Don’t put it so harshly, okay? Yang Xiaoqiao is aware of my situation; she’s with me voluntarily,” Ye Xiong defended.
“Let me ask you, if she really is pregnant, what do you plan to do now?”
“What else can I do, let her have the baby.”
“What about Xinyi?”
“I’ll explain it to her.”
Xiao Fangfang looked at him for a long time without speaking, then finally sighed heavily.
Put nicely, it’s that one’s nature can change, but the less nice way to put it, is that a dog can’t change its urge to lick its chops. I really don’t understand why so many women, knowing there’s no future with him, still throw themselves at him like moths to a flame.
But on the other hand, this guy’s charm is not something an ordinary woman can handle. Even I, a woman who’s been through the wringer in society for years, nearly fell for it.
Perhaps, if his wife wasn’t my close friend, I would have fallen too.
“I’ll give you a chance; if Yang Xiaoqiao is pregnant, I have to tell Xinyi. If not, I’ll pretend I didn’t see anything,” Xiao Fangfang said, looking at his sharply defined face, wondering why, after not seeing him for a while, it seemed his manly aura had grown even stronger.
Little did she know, Ye Xiong’s temperament had become significantly more charming since breaking through to the Internal Qi Transformation Realm.
“It’s not for you, but I don’t want to make Xinyi sad anymore. Do you know how upset she’s been while you were missing?”
“I won’t let her down,” Ye Xiong said earnestly.
