You Owe Me, My Love novel Chapter 408

Chapter 408 What Does It Actually Mean

It was almost 5 p.m. when she returned to the shore, and it was too late for her to go for a checkup at the hospital. At that point, she was under the weather as she was down with the flu, and her head was spinning.

But she dared not simply take medicine as she was preparing her body to conceive. Instead, she drank a lot of water and lay on the bed. She even broke out in cold sweats the whole night.

Wu Nian woke up at about 4 a.m. the next day and decided to make herself some porridge. She then returned to her bed, played ‘My Talking Hank’ on her phone for almost an hour. She nearly forgot about her porridge.

She got up once again and hurriedly fried herself a plate of stir-fried tomato and egg.

Her dog, too, woke up. Qing squatted down in front of the kennel, poured some food into its bowl, and said, “Qing, I have to run some errands today, so you stay home and be nice, okay?”

The dog barked twice in acknowledgment.

Wu Nian looked at the dog and grinned. She topped up its bowl with more food before returning to the table to have her breakfast.

After finishing her breakfast, she put on her sports attire and ran on the treadmill. She only did so for about forty minutes because she was feeling unwell. On regular days, she would run for at least one to two hours. After a warm bath, she changed into fresh clothes and filled up Qing’s water bowl. After making sure everything was in order, Wu Nian then left for the hospital.

By 10 a.m., she had completed her checkup and obtained the report.

The report showed that her menstruation was irregular, so the doctor advised her to undergo the necessary treatment. Meanwhile, the doctor said her ovulation should last from the fifth to the tenth of October.

After leaving the hospital, Wu Nian checked her phone but did not find Gu Mingchen’s number in her contact list. After a moment of searching, she suddenly recalled that she had deleted his number.

She believed Shen Yiyan and Stephen would have his number, but she did not want to ask them for it. Since she was certain Gu Mingchen would call her, she decided to go home and take a nap.

Suddenly, her phone rang, the ringtone waking her up from her nap. The incessant ringing from an unknown number instantly gave her a headache. “Hello?”

“Hello, is this Ms. Wu Nian speaking?” the person asked.

Wu Nian thought the man’s voice sounded familiar. “How may I help you?”

“I’m Mr. Gu’s assistant, Zhang Xingyu. We’ve met before. Do you still remember me?” Zhang Xingyu said politely.

“Yes.” Wu Nian sat up and leaned against the headboard of her bed.

“Ms. Wu, did you forget to contact Mr. Gu? He threw a fit a while ago. Please contact him as soon as possible.” Zhang Xingyu pleaded.

“I don’t have his number,” Wu Nian explained apologetically.

“I’ll give you his number now.” Zhang Xingyu did not give her a chance to say no and ended the call immediately.

Gu Mingchen squinted at his assistant and asked, “What did she say?”

“She said she doesn’t have your number. I’ll send it to her right now,” Zhang Xingyu replied.

That answer made Gu Mingchen narrow his eyes.

No wonder I can’t reach her. She must have deleted my number and blocked me.

A vortex of anger instantly swirled inside him.

He soon received Wu Nian’s call. With a grim expression, Gu Mingchen asked icily, “Where are you?” He did not even ask about the results from the report.

Wu Nian paused for a moment and decided to go straight to the point, ignoring his question. “The report says my ovulation period is between the fifth and tenth of October.”

“How come?” Gu Mingchen asked even more aloofly.

“The doctor told me that my menstruation is irregular, and he advised me to go for checkups every month,” she explained, “So for now, that’s the tentative dates for the next cycle.”

“Got it. Where are you? I’ll get someone to pick you up.”

Wu Nian was at a loss for words. “What for? I haven’t even started ovulating.”

A hard glint flashed across the man’s eyes. “Weren’t you a gynecologist? What have you learned in the past? Didn’t you know sperms can stay inside the body for a week?”

“Oh.” It took her a while to make sense of what he said. “I’m on the yacht near the dock.”

“Remember to have your dinner and shower before you come,” Gu Mingchen ordered, “I don’t want to waste my time.”

“Got it.”

The man then hung up on her.
