Chapter 348: Chapter 335: Wait Four Months, All Will Be Revealed_2
Even when he returned from E city in the middle of the night, he accompanied her for a while. Once she fell asleep, he still went back to his villa. Because of this, when she awoke in the middle of the night, she couldn’t fall back asleep. However, the next day, at dawn, when he brought Sister Ping over and said that from that morning on, Sister Ping would be responsible for her three meals a day, she was touched.
But still, it felt uncomfortable. He wasn’t by her side at night, so she couldn’t sleep peacefully every night, fearing that it was all just a facade to deceive her into going to the hospital for an abortion.
"Young Master Leng doesn’t stay here overnight for Sister Ji’s sake."
Xiao Liu was most afraid of Ji Wei’s suspicion leading to a temper, which she’d take out on her. She quickly comforted Ji Wei: "Young Master Leng said the first three months are the most dangerous, especially for Sister Ji. This child is your last chance to become a mom, and he’s afraid that if something uncontrollable happens at night, it could result in a big mistake."
"I hope it’s just that."
Xiao Liu’s words made Ji Wei feel a bit better. When she tried to hug him and touch him, he pushed her away, saying the same thing — that he was afraid of losing control and harming the child.
Seeing Ji Wei’s expression change from cloudy to clear, Xiao Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued while the iron was hot: "If Young Master Leng intended to get rid of the child, he would’ve already taken you there regardless of your opposition, and wouldn’t have delayed taking action for so long."
"That makes sense." Ji Wei’s taut heartstrings finally relaxed. Looking at Sister Ping, a slight thought crossed her mind, and she pushed open the kitchen door and went in.
"Miss Ji?" Sister Ping was startled and respectfully urged: "Miss Ji should go out, the kitchen has heavy fumes, you may feel nauseous."
"It’s okay." Ji Wei smiled gently, softly praising: "Sister Ping’s cooking is really good; Yan must really love eating your dishes."
"The Young Master doesn’t eat at home often, but fortunately, he hasn’t complained about my cooking." Sister Liu replied humbly: "As long as Miss Ji likes it, I’ve always been worried the food might not suit your taste."
"I really like it." Ji Wei smiled at her, and after chatting casually, she asked in a gentle, seemingly casual tone: "Does she also cook for Yan?"
Sister Ping was taken aback: "Who?"
"Her, Wen Nuan." Ji Wei earnestly looked at Sister Ping: "Does she cook for Yan, does he like her cooking?"
"Oh, sometimes she cooks. The Young Master has always liked it, just that... sigh——" Sister Ping sighed deeply, showing reluctance to speak further.
Ji Wei became intrigued: "Just what?"
"As servants, we shouldn’t speak about the masters’ matters. But, some things..." Sister Ping paused, shaking her head dissatisfied: "The Young Master doesn’t like spicy food; his stomach isn’t well, Miss Ji knows that, right?"
"Yes, what about it?" Ji Wei nodded: "His stomach isn’t good, so I often urge him to eat lighter foods."
"But she rarely cooks like that. She prefers spicy food, and every time she cooks, it’s according to her taste. Because he likes her, the Young Master always forces himself to eat. Ah, forget it, I don’t want to mention it. Seeing the Young Master’s stomach pain after eating each time, I feel bad too."
"How can she be like that, really not considerate at all." Xiao Liu followed in, frowning: "It’s all because Young Master Leng spoils her too much, afraid of dropping her even though he holds her in his palm, huh!"
"Sister Ping, keep cooking. I’ll head out first." Ji Wei finally found her heart much more at ease, even with a hint of secret delight.
Wen Nuan loved spicy food, which she also knew. It seems she really has the temperament of a young lady and isn’t as thoughtful toward Leng Yan as she imagined. After all, at only twenty, she’s very dependent on men but lacks much in the way of dedication.
Watching Ji Wei go upstairs, Sister Ping turned the flame down low and finally dared to call Leng Yan.
"Did she mention Nuannuan?" Leng Yan frowned slightly: "What did she say?"
"She asked if Young Madam ever cooked for you, I said she did but didn’t consider your stomach."
A slight smile tugged at the corner of Leng Yan’s mouth: "Hmm, thank you, Sister Ping."
"No need for thanks; I also dislike women with a snake’s heart. Just..." Sister Ping sighed: "Young Master, how long must I stay here?"
Every day she was extremely cautious, always fearing that if there was any slip-up, Ji Wei would notice. The Young Master made her stay here to keep an eye on Ji Wei, fearing she might suddenly leave. But honestly, each time Ji Wei smiled at her, she felt a chill in her heart, incomparable to Young Madam’s genuine smile.
"You have to stay until..."
"Until the child in her womb is four months old," Leng Yan replied: "If the truth can’t be found, then wait until four months to have the hospital conduct an assessment."
Ji Wei thought Leng Yan had accepted this child, so he didn’t immediately drag her to get an abortion. But how could that be the case?
He wanted to confirm that the child wasn’t his, so he was constantly searching for evidence. The surveillance at the bar showed a man in a baseball cap getting into his car, then driving it away. But the bar’s footage wasn’t clear enough, and he couldn’t identify who it was. He had already stationed someone at the bar, but there were no leads so far.
If this route didn’t work, he’d have to wait for four months, then extract amniotic fluid or chorionic tissue for a paternity test. Weeks four to twenty-eight are the best times; too early a test wouldn’t yield accurate results.
Providing Wen Nuan with a satisfactory answer was always his goal. Besides that, his greatest hope was that the photos of Wen Nuan and Tan Qing were just a misunderstanding. He couldn’t believe Wen Nuan would have gotten together with Tan Qing so quickly.
However, thinking of all the things he had done to hurt her, he became uncertain. Even he felt Tan Qing was a good man, and his confidence in himself was quite lacking.
Ji Wei still didn’t fully trust him. He planned to go to E City in a few days to get a clear answer about the photos from Wen Nuan.
