Chapter 2258: Chapter 2259: Special Meaning
After that, the two chatted for a while, and Lin Yi got up to stretch his legs. Then he glanced at the kitchen and discovered quite a number of ingredients had been prepared.
He didnât sit idle, deciding to show off his cooking skills to Liang Xianghe.
It was past noon, and seven dishes and one soup were served on the table.
For the four of them, this was a grand feast, more than they could finish.
Lin Yi drank with Liang Xianghe for a while, and their meal stretched on until past four in the afternoon.
During the meal, Lin Yi and Liang Xianghe talked a lot about the Central Guards Brigade and shared stories from his past.
...
He also learned some amusing incidents that werenât well-known.
All his fatherâs skills were taught by Liang Xianghe.
Furthermore, the reason Liang Xianghe had climbed to his current position was not only his extraordinary abilities but also his significant personal strength.
To Lin Yi, this was a major revelation.
But speaking of personal strength, Liang Xiangheâs was far beyond his imagination,
and much more formidable.
After all, in the Central Guards Brigade, the level of strength was a strict standard.
Even for himself, if his abilities stagnated in the future, his upper limit would only be Liu Hong.
That grandfather he had never met piqued Lin Yiâs interest a bit, wondering if he was still alive.
After dinner, Mi Li drove Lin Yi to the airport, and then he flew directly to Zhong Hai.
When he returned to Ji Qingyanâs place, it was already past eight at night.
And Ji Qingyan didnât know that Lin Yi had taken a trip to Yanjing during this time.
Back at home, Lin Yi saw Ji Qingyan had packed two large boxes.
There werenât many clothes for the two of them; mostly gifts for their families, as well as numerous maternity items, specially prepared for Ning Yue.
âHow did your talk with Lee Yongjin go?â Ji Qingyan asked curiously.
âTao Yuan mentioned that Samsung seemed to be having some financial issues. Will it affect the cooperation?â
âDonât worry, itâs all been handled.â
âThatâs good,â Ji Qingyan said, thoughtful. âBut weâve known each other for many years; sheâs definitely reputable.â
Lin Yi nodded, âAfter all, itâs such a big company, I do trust them in this regard.â
âAs long as itâs resolved, there shouldnât be anything else before the New Year. We can have a peaceful celebration.â
Afterwards, the two of them washed up briefly and then went back to their room to rest.
However, the matter of the man in black continued to linger in Lin Yiâs mind.
In his view, this mysterious and elusive organization was more difficult to deal with than the Freemasons.
And with so little information available about them, even effective precautions were hard to establish.
It was also hard to predict what impact they might have on the Central Guards Brigade.
The next morning, when Lin Yi got up, he found that Ji Qingyan had already gotten up.
As Lin Yi was getting dressed to go out, Ji Qingyan came hurriedly from downstairs and said,
âIâve already eaten, you can go have breakfast after youâre done.â
âI just got up, and youâve already finished eating?â
âArenât we going out later? We need to hurry.â
âEven so, youâd still have to wait until Iâm done before we can go out. Whatâs the rush?â
âI have to put on makeup; not like you, heading out without putting anything on,â Ji Qingyan said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
âWho can blame me for being naturally beautiful? Nothing I can do.â
âStop it, donât gross me out.â
Ji Qingyan didnât engage further with Lin Yi and hurried to the dressing room.
Lin Yi didnât fuss too much and went downstairs to eat after finishing his morning routine.
While he was almost done with breakfast, he saw Ji Qingyan come down from upstairs.
He wore black high-waisted trousers, a color-blocked womenâs shirt on his upper body, and held a red cashmere coat in his hand.
With so many colors matched together, only Ji Qingyan with such a figure and appearance could pull it off.
Seeing that Ji Qingyan was ready, Lin Yi also sped up.
Before leaving, Song Lan had prepared some gifts for Lin Yi to bring back as a token for the in-lawsâ meeting.
When the two landed in Yang City, it was already after one in the afternoon.
âDoes Ning Yue know that we are back?â
On their way back, Lin Yi asked.
âYes, but sheâs going for a prenatal checkup today. Sheâll probably return to the institute later, we can just wait for her.â
âPrenatal checkup?â
âYeah, itâs been over two months now. According to the procedure, itâs time to check the fetal heartbeat.â
Lin Yi nodded, having been a doctor so long, he was well aware of the process.
âThen letâs not go back to the institute, letâs go straight to the hospital. I want to see how sheâs doing,â Lin Yi said,
âThe fetal heartbeat is quite important, it could be troublesome if thereâs something wrong.â
âAlright, Iâll give her a call to ask which hospital sheâs at, and we can head over now.â
âOkay.â
Then, Ji Qingyan made a phone call to Ning Yue, got the hospital address, and the two drove to their destination.
Sitting in the car, Ji Qingyan quietly watched Lin Yiâs profile.
They had returned many times before, but this was his first time actively saying he wanted to see Ning Yue.
He must be really concerned about the unborn child too.
About half an hour later, they arrived at Zhongshan Hospital in Yang City.
The hospital was crowded, especially the prenatal diagnostic department, which was overflowing with people.
At the entrance of the prenatal diagnostic department, they ran into Ning Yueâs husband, Qu Xuanhe, who was pacing nervously like an ant on a hot pot.
âBrother, sister-in-law, youâre here.â
âWhatâs the matter, why are you sweating so much?â Lin Yi asked with a smile.
âIâm nervous,â Qu Xuanhe said,
âIf the fetal heartbeat isnât good, or if there is no heartbeat, there could be trouble.â
Facing this situation, both Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan could understand,
after all, it was something not influenced by external factors.
Even if Lin Yi was highly skilled in medicine, he couldnât save a child without a heartbeat.
Though the probability was low, it happened often enough to make them all a bit anxious.
âNo worries, just keep calm,â Lin Yi said,
âEven if there really is a problem, itâs not a big deal. You both are young and can always try again. Just relax.â
âThatâs true, but if there really is a problem, it could also harm her body, sighâŠâ
âDonât worry, think positively, donât be nervous.â
Despite appearing very composed, Ji Qingyan noticed that Lin Yiâs forehead was also covered with a fine sweat.
He and Ning Yue had grown up in an orphanage together. If Ning Yue had a child, Lin Yi would be seeing the next generation.
It was a wonderful feeling that she might not ever understand.
Time ticked by, minute by minute. About twenty minutes later, they saw Ning Yue walk out of the consultation room,
but she was looking down at the report and constantly wiping away tears.
âWhatâs wrong, why are you crying?â
The three approached her, Qu Xuanhe asked.
Seeing the three of them, Ning Yue couldnât stop her tears.
âBrother, sister-in-law, the doctor said the babyâs heartbeat is not good, he told me to be mentally prepared.â
