Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 274: Increasingly Narcissistic

The night passed very peacefully.

Xie Qingci provided an unparalleled personal service, making her feel like she had spent millions on a retirement spa card and was now being cared for by a beautiful attendant.

When she got up the next morning, she even found Xie Qingci checking her savings.

...Not sure how to comment on that.

During breakfast, Xie Qingci asked her, "How about I accompany you?"

"Oh no," she calmly refused, "If you don’t come, it’s just a regular family check-up. If you do come, then it’s explosive gossip about pregnancy and childbirth."

Xie Qingci fed her a corn dumpling, "Then I’ll wait for you at home."

"Okay."

A little after ten, Yu Heng’s car stopped downstairs. Yu Xia put on a mask and hat, waved goodbye to Xie Qingci who stayed home, and got in the car smoothly.

Her brother drove, and he brought along the little smartypants, Yu Yue.

Yu Yue greeted her with milk in hand.

"Good morning, Aunt. Going to weigh yourself today, have you gained weight?"

"..." Yu Xia glared, "We’re measuring height today. No matter how much milk you drink last minute, it won’t help! Still short as ever!"

Yu Yue instantly looked hurt and sad.

"Aunt, you’re too much. I’m just too young! When I grow up to be your boyfriend’s age, I’ll be taller than you!"

She casually flipped her hair and said flatly, "Wow, such an amazing goal."

Yue Ling, sitting in the passenger seat, couldn’t stop laughing and handed her a bag of whole wheat bread.

"Did you have breakfast? Want some? Was supposed to do a fasting test, but I forgot."

"I ate," she waved her hand, laughing, "Corn dumplings and fruit, made me forget all about fasting. Is this what you’re having lately, Sister-in-law?"

Yu Yue slurped some milk and shared a little insider gossip, "Because Mom’s dieting recently, Dad says she gained weight."

Yu Xia’s eyes widened, yet before she could speak, Yu Heng coldly warned his son, "Yu Yue, say one more word and I’ll smack you."

Yu Yue pouted, shuffled over, and whispered to Yu Xia, "Mom made him sleep in my room for a night, squished me nearly to death."

"Pfft—"

She shook with laughter, sneaking glances at her brother.

Yu Heng glanced at the rearview mirror, called out dangerously, "Yu, Yue."

Yu Yue immediately covered his mouth, signaling he wouldn’t speak anymore.

Yu Xia wasn’t intimidated like him, and gossipingly leaned on the front seat, "Sister-in-law, so it’s true? My brother is bold enough to say you’re fat now?"

Even when she gained weight during Yu Yue’s pregnancy, when forced to ask if she was fat, her brother would softly say she had "the air of a noblewoman," and add something like, "Looks like I need to work harder to make you a genuine lady of rank."

Tsk tsk, how many years and now his true nature’s exposed?

Yue Ling leisurely reminded Yu Heng first, "Drive carefully, focus."

Then she told her, "Your brother didn’t say that."

Yu Xia quickly picked up the transition, "But—"

"But at the last product launch, someone blocked him outside the restroom, saying he should have a slim, delicate, pretty girlfriend, not an old and wrinkled wife."

Yu Heng complained, "I didn’t agree with her at all and even seriously criticized her distorted views."

"But I did gain weight." Yue Ling sighed softly.

"No way, not at all. To me, you’re still a goddess with a devilish figure." Yu Heng responded without missing a beat.

Yue Ling made a sound.

"So, you still see me as old and fading?"

Yu Heng: "......"

Yu Xia stifled her laughter.

"Bro, you’re so screwed, hahaha!"

Yu Heng glared at her irritably.

The previously silenced Yu Yue couldn’t resist joining in.

"Aunt, what if someone said that about you? What if that handsome brother said that too?"

"Then they’re wrong, venturing out without knowing how to see. How can I not know if I’m beautiful or not? Who can look better and have a better figure than me? No one." She feigned a bossy tone, nonchalantly saying something arrogant. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Then she counter-questioned, "What if your little girlfriend, Little Strawberry... oh sorry, I forgot she already dumped you. Was it Yuyu, or Yunyun? Anyway, the one you have a crush on, what if she says you’re not as handsome as other boys in class?"

Yu Yue blurted, "Impossible!"

"See, there you go."

Yu Heng let out a sarcastic laugh, "See, I told you, he’s just like you, his narcissism grows every day."

Yu Xia: "..."

Laughing and chatting all the way to the hospital, Yu Xia got off wearing a mask and hat, trying not to be seen, and went in through the VIP entrance. Yu Heng instructed to let her go in first for the check-up.

"Let your sister-in-law accompany you, make sure they check carefully, a full 360-degree examination."

"Ridiculous, you’re just obsessed and can’t let it go. I already said there’s nothing." She pulled Yue Ling towards the examination room.

Yu Heng took Yu Yue to the other side.

"Go on, by yourself."

Yu Yue quietly complained to him, "Dad, can’t you be gentle? Can’t you hold my hand? Aunt said even when she was grown up, you held her hand everywhere."

"You’re a big guy now and still want to hold hands, isn’t that embarrassing?"

After walking a few steps, he reached out his hand, "Your hand."

Yu Yue immediately brightened up, grabbed the large hand and happily bounced forward.

Meanwhile, Yu Xia went into the examination room, dutifully underwent all the tests, and scheduled the fasting ones for the next morning.

The key was a gynecological check, but as a recently hot celebrity, it wasn’t realistic to directly ask if she was pregnant. Even the most professional hospitals could leak information, so after completing the procedures, she sat in the office of a trusted doctor.

The doctor was a gentle aunt, knowledgeable in both Chinese and Western medicine, and started by taking her pulse.

Originally thought of as something simple, Yu Xia hadn’t taken it seriously, but the doctor’s hand lingered on her wrist, a thoughtful expression appearing.

Yue Ling immediately frowned, "Is there a problem?"

Yu Xia also felt uneasy, with her mind racing with thoughts.

Could it be, really...pregnant?!

The doctor removed her glasses and didn’t speak directly, instead had her open her mouth and show her tongue, checked her eyes, then took her pulse again.

The silence was incredibly nerve-wracking, and in that short time, Yu Xia had already gone from "when did it happen" to "should I have the baby" to "do you need parents’ marriage certificate for the baby’s birth registration."

Then the doctor took off her reading glasses and said, "Have you been experiencing large emotional swings lately? This is not good for your health."

"... Yes, yes, quite a lot..."

Just a moment ago, there were quite large swings.

The doctor glanced at her, casually opened the drawer, and added, "Also, don’t engage in sexual activities too often."

Yu Xia: "!"
