Rekindled Hearts: The Tycoon’s Reluctant Love

Chapter 294: Chapter 293: It Seems Like She’s Pregnant Chapter 294: Chapter 293: It Seems Like She’s Pregnant Yanxi strolled up the stairs with one hand tucked into his trouser pocket, quickly reaching Xia Yiwan.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the country girl was indeed quite beautiful tonight.

He bent down like a gentleman and extended his long, attractive palm towards her.

Recovering from her shock, Xia Yiwan felt her heartbeat quicken as she placed her hand into his.

Yanxi began dancing with Xia Yiwan.

Because she was nervous, Xia Yiwan stepped on Yanxi’s feet several times.

Yanxi’s eyebrows raised slightly as the hand around her waist tightened abruptly, “Do you even know how to dance?”

She knew how to dance, but the gaze of the crowd made her nervous.

“I thought you were a designated driver before.”

After sleeping with him that night, she had left a five hundred thousand cheque for him in the morning.

Now, it seemed she had truly slapped her own face!

He spent fifty million just for a dance with her; it made the five hundred thousand she left him seem embarrassingly meager!

Yanxi’s thin lips curved up into a teasing smile, “Did you dress up like this tonight especially to seduce me?”

Damn, when this man doesn’t speak, it’s fine, but when he does, she just wants to stomp on him—what should she do?

Xia Yiwan forced a smile, “I’m sorry, up until tonight, I always thought you were just a designated driver, or at most, a gigolo!”

Yanxi, “…”

The crowd didn’t know what they were talking about, but they could see the two of them with their faces very close, looking quite intimate.

Chu Siyao was almost grinding her teeth to dust.

She wanted to see Xia Yiwan make a fool of herself, but now it was she who stood out.

The handsome and enchanting Young Master held her waist as they danced and laughed gracefully, like a peerless couple carved on a mural.

Besides Chu Siyao, the person who found it hardest to accept this scene was Zheng Yunche.

He thought that without him, Xia Yiwan wouldn’t be able to find a man handsomer or more famous than him.

But the man dancing with her was clearly a noble scion, casually spending fifty million on a dance—it was something he couldn’t match no matter how hard he tried!

After the dance, Yanxi took Xia Yiwan by the hand and led her off the stage.

Xia Yiwan tried to struggle but couldn’t break free.

Watching the man who was holding her hand, she felt an unusual sensation well up inside her.

When she was with Zheng Yunche, she always had to be careful, afraid of being seen by others.

Their meetings were always sneaky, like she was committing a crime.

He never boldly held her hand or walked with her in public.

But this handsome and bewitching man didn’t care about other people’s gazes at all, giving her a sense of protection.

Xia Yiwan’s lips couldn’t help but curl up.

This guy, while looking bad on the outside, wasn’t really all that bad; he was actually quite considerate!

After paying for the dance backstage, Yanxi led Xia Yiwan away.

At the entrance, Xia Yiwan finally managed to withdraw her hand from his grasp.

Both their palms were a little sweaty.

Yanxi raised an eyebrow at her, “Want to grab something to eat?”

Xia Yiwan looked at him guardedly, “You only paid for a dance, I don’t accompany for sleep.”

Yanxi was amused by Xia Yiwan’s words, his tongue sweeping over his back teeth as his peach blossom eyes looked down below her collarbone.

Xia Yiwan immediately crossed her arms over her chest.

“Relax, if you hadn’t been forward that night, I would never have let you, a little country bumpkin, get your wish fulfilled.”

At the words ‘little country bumpkin’, Xia Yiwan swung her fist towards him in annoyance.

But before it could reach him, he caught her fist in his large hand.

With a slight tug, he pulled her into his embrace.

Her nose bumped against his firm and muscular chest, causing a pang of pain.

Her facial features scrunched up together.

In those moist, apricot eyes, there was a mix of embarrassment and blame.

Seeing her expression, Yanxi couldn’t help but laugh.

“Do you know what you look like right now?”

Xia Yiwan pulled back from his chest and rubbed her nose, “I don’t want to talk to you.”

Xia Yiwan walked toward her sports car.

As soon as she got in, the man pulled open the passenger-side door and sat down.

Xia Yiwan, “Don’t you have your own car?”

“Little country girl, I spent fifty million, and besides a dance, you’re not planning to buy me something to eat?”

Xia Yiwan thought about the scene earlier where she almost embarrassed herself and he stepped forward to bail her out in time. She still felt somewhat moved.

“Sure, I’ll treat you!”

After parking the car under her apartment building, Xia Yiwan said to Yanxi, “Wait for me a second, I’ll come down as soon as I change my clothes.”

It wasn’t long before Xia Yiwan came down in a change of clothes.

She drove to the stall.

Yanxi looked around at the noisy environment and frowned, “Don’t you think you should improve your taste a bit?”

“What do you know, the greatest joy in life is to drink beer while munching on skewers!”

Without caring whether Yanxi wanted to or not, she got out of the car on her own.

When Yanxi arrived, Xia Yiwan had already ordered the skewers.

Since she had problems from drinking last time, she didn’t order any alcohol this time.

Yanxi glanced at the small stool, his brows nearly furrowing enough to squash a fly.

Seeing his disdainful expression, Xia Yiwan picked up a napkin and wiped down the stool for him.

“You young masters of the Upper Society are too fastidious, it’s really exhausting to be around you,” she said.

Looking at the carefree Xia Yiwan, Yanxi suddenly found her quite interesting.

Other women in front of him were either reserved or aggressively seductive.

Only she seemed to have no pretense, being her most genuine self!

He sat down on the stool she had wiped clean.

Shortly after, the owner brought over the skewers Xia Yiwan had ordered.

Looking at the greasy and spicy food, Yanxi pursed his lips, “This stuff isn’t very healthy.”

“I don’t eat it every day. It’s been almost two months since I last had this, hasn’t it?”

Not caring about what Yanxi thought of her, Xia Yiwan picked up a lamb skewer and took a bite.

Suddenly, she felt a tumult in her stomach, like a river churning in reverse.

She put down the skewer, covered her mouth, and ran to the corner.

Bending over, she retched a few times.

A bottle of mineral water was handed to her.

After taking the bottle and rinsing her mouth, Xia Yiwan looked up at the man, “Thank you.”

Yanxi watched Xia Yiwan with a complex expression, his peach blossom eyes unusually serious, “Are you… pregnant?”

Xia Yiwan wiped the water from the corner of her lips, “Pregnant with what?”

“That night I didn’t take any pregnancy prevention measures. Did you take the pill the next day?”

Xia Yiwan was first astonished, then a blush spread across her fair cheeks, “Of course, I did!!!”

“Are you sure?”

“I’m sure!!!”

“Which pharmacy did you buy it from?”

Xia Yiwan gave an address.

Yanxi took Xia Yiwan by the hand and they went to that pharmacy.

When they arrived, they found the pharmacy’s door sealed shut.

Xia Yiwan felt a bit panicked, grabbing a passerby, “Excuse me, do you know what happened to this pharmacy?”

“They were selling fake drugs. I heard they got shut down!”

Xia Yiwan’s mind went instantly blank.

If the birth control pills she took were fake, could she be pregnant?

Since her periods were irregular, coming every two or three months, she hadn’t been concerned this time.

After all, she had taken medicine; who would expect an accident?
