Chapter 305: Chapter 301: Cannot See Husband Without an Appointment
The figure is even slimmer than before, and her unmade-up face has a slightly sickly pallor. Although her eyes are large, they don’t seem as lively as before.
Seeing this, Li Qiu became more worried. Nowadays, some young women are so obsessed with dieting that they become skin and bones yet still insist on losing weight, which seriously affects their health.
"I’ve been much better these days, nothing else, just a bit busy with work." Wen Nuan smiled slightly. She couldn’t help thinking, if Li Qiu had seen her a few days earlier, who knows how frightened she might have been.
Her body had recently become much thinner. Ever since that incident, until she returned from Milan to N City, her spirit had been tormented, leaving her no mood to eat. Looking haggard was inevitable, but fortunately, there had been some improvement in recent days. Just yesterday, Tong Xi had pinched her cheek, comfortingly saying, "Finally gained a bit of flesh."
"Nuannuan, why don’t you also do a full check-up?" Li Qiu said worriedly, looking at her.
When she came, she was hesitant, afraid that Leng Yan would find out and blame her, thinking to abandon the plan to have Wen Nuan get a check-up. But now, seeing Wen Nuan’s condition was indeed not very good, she secretly made up her mind.
It’s better to check, for peace of mind. Even if something is wrong, even if it’s not pregnancy-related, it’s good to adjust early. She was eager to have grandchildren, but even more, she wanted the children to have healthy bodies.
"I don’t need it, I’m quite alright." Wen Nuan declined with a smile.
Aside from being thin and a bit haggard, she had no other issues. Moreover, she knew the cause of the symptoms, and as the problem was resolved now, she was gradually recovering; there was no need for any check-ups.
Li Qiu looked at her face, which seemed pale, and insisted, "Just check, alright? When Mom gets a check-up, you always have to wait, don’t you? Checking won’t do any harm, right?"
"Well... alright then." Not wanting to disappoint Li Qiu’s good intentions, Wen Nuan felt a little awkward but agreed.
Alright, just check then; getting a health check-up is a good thing, no need to be stubborn about it.
Each test one by one, and then waiting for each result to come out, Wen Nuan and Li Qiu walked into the doctor’s office; she sorted out her and Li Qiu’s forms and handed them over, feeling a bit nervous.
When getting her blood drawn, she felt a bit dizzy, closing her eyes and not daring to look. But even so, her legs were still a bit shaky now. This worried Li Qiu even more.
"Mom, I’m fine." Wen Nuan comforted Li Qiu, explaining her faintness when blood was drawn, and Li Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, though still worried, "Mom still thinks your face is too pale."

"Your body is very healthy, all indicators are good, keep it up. However, doing a bit more exercise every day would be even better." The doctor first looked at Li Qiu’s form and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he picked up Wen Nuan’s, and the doctor frowned slightly, glanced at her, and asked, "Have you been experiencing any discomfort recently?"
"None at all." Wen Nuan smiled faintly.
Except for some discomfort when having conflicts with Leng Yan, everything is fine now. Seeing the doctor’s puzzled expression, Li Qiu’s heart tightened, and she anxiously looked at the doctor, "What’s wrong with her?"
"It’s nothing really, just a bit of weakness."
The doctor said calmly, giving Li Qiu a meaningful look. She immediately understood, "Nuannuan, could you check my car for my original medical records?"
"Okay." Wen Nuan took Li Qiu’s keys and went out, not taking the doctor’s words seriously at all. Weakness simply meant sub-health; she would be fine with some more exercise.
Watching the door close, Li Qiu’s face darkened slightly, worriedly looking at the doctor, "Is my daughter-in-law’s situation not optimistic?"
**
"Mom, I didn’t find the records." When Wen Nuan pushed the door open, she saw that Li Qiu’s face was less rosy than before, her brows furrowed, seemingly troubled. She asked worriedly, "Mom, what’s the matter?"
"Nothing, let’s go."
Li Qiu smiled with a hint of forcedness.
"Really?" Wen Nuan asked suspiciously, watching her, "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, didn’t the doctor say I’m very healthy?" Li Qiu shook her head, "Let’s go, I don’t like the smell of hospitals."
Wen Nuan looked at her puzzledly, recalling the doctor’s remarks about Li Qiu’s good health and breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving the doctor’s office, she and Wen Nuan went to get their car, walking ahead and behind. Li Qiu suddenly stopped, looking seriously at her, "Nuannuan, can you quit your job at MT?"
"Quit?"
Wen Nuan was surprised, feeling somewhat at a loss.
She had already handed in her resignation letter to Tan Qing, but this time when she returned from Milan, Tan Qing didn’t come back with her. He had matters to attend to in Milan for a few days and then had to travel to another country on business.
Recently, Tan Qing’s father has been overseeing the company, so her resignation was delayed. Moreover, after Lin Xue returned from Milan, work became busier, so resigning had to wait.
Li Qiu nodded, "Yes, I heard from Yan that you often work overtime. That’s not good for your health; why not go to the Leng Family, where you can work more freely."
"But..." Wen Nuan looked at Li Qiu awkwardly, "I can’t leave yet..."
Li Qiu’s face fell slightly, "I’m thinking of what’s best for you."
"I know, Mom doesn’t want me to be too tired."
Wen Nuan was startled, then quickly smiled and said, "It’s just overtime for a few days; in a few days, it will return to normal working hours."
Actually, it’s just sub-health; Wen Nuan didn’t understand Li Qiu’s actions. Previously, when they met, Li Qiu never cared about her work issues, and she hadn’t mentioned it before.
Li Qiu frowned slightly, sighed, and said nothing more.
She couldn’t possibly say that not letting Wen Nuan be too tired was because she wanted her to get pregnant sooner. According to the doctor, her busy schedule was not conducive to conceiving. If they knew that this was the reason for the medical check-up, Leng Yan and Wen Nuan would not be happy. However, Wen Nuan’s disobedience really made her uncomfortable.
When they were near the company, Lin Xue called, saying there was no need for overtime tonight. Wen Nuan felt a wave of relief as she drove the car toward MT, a mischievous glint in her eye.
If Leng Yan knew she came over, he would be ecstatic.
"Miss, may I ask who you are looking for?" The receptionist was preparing to get off work when she saw a beautiful girl heading straight for the Leng Family’s top executives’ private elevator and hurriedly stopped her.
"I..."
Wen Nuan felt a bit embarrassed, realizing that nobody here knew her.
"I’m looking for Leng Yan." She cleared her throat and smiled at the receptionist.
The receptionist paused and looked her over carefully, "Do you have an appointment?"
"Appointment?" A slight awkwardness appeared on Wen Nuan’s face. She wanted to surprise Leng Yan, so she hadn’t planned to let him know in advance at all.
"Sorry, without an appointment, I can’t let you in. Moreover, even if you go up, you can’t take this elevator. This is the private elevator for the eldest young master, Second Young Master, and the chairman."
The receptionist said politely, yet there was a hint of disdain on her face.
She had been at the Leng Family for two years; many women came for the Second Young Master. This one was probably the most clueless yet.
