After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 216 Missing

Jiang Yichen stared intently at Shen Yan's retreating figure, his conviction growing stronger—Gu Mo must be with her. However, without solid evidence, he couldn't act rashly, lest he alert her and make it even harder to find Gu Mo.

Just as Shen Yan was about to enter the company gate, she suddenly stopped, turned back and gave Jiang Yichen a provocative look, a subtle smile playing on her lips: "If you really can't find him, go call the police and let them help you find him. Maybe they can find the place you can't find."

Looking at her arrogant appearance, Jiang Yichen became even more certain that Si Yu was with her. Otherwise, given their relationship, how could she be so calm after Gu Mo disappeared?

After Shen Yan went upstairs, she could still see through the window that Jiang Yichen's car was still parked downstairs at her company. He did not leave immediately, but sat quietly in the car, his deep eyes fixed on the direction of the company gate, as if he was waiting for something.

Shen Yan frowned, pondering to herself. She understood that Jiang Yichen's trip was not without purpose; he must have received some information to be so certain that Gu Mo was hiding with her.

To avoid unnecessary trouble and to protect Gu Mo's safety, Shen Yan decided to call Gu Mo immediately.

While I was resting, I suddenly received a call from Shen Yan, which startled me. I answered the phone groggily, my voice still slightly drowsy: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Shen Yan's voice came from the other end of the phone, tinged with urgency: "Gu Mo, Jiang Yichen just came to see me. He seems to have confirmed that you're hiding here, but he didn't reveal your whereabouts. You must not go out during this time, so as not to be discovered by him. I will try my best to find out his movements for you, and I will let you know as soon as I have any news."

Hearing Shen Yan's words, I immediately snapped out of my daze. I knew Jiang Yichen's methods and personality all too well; if he discovered my whereabouts, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Your worries didn't lessen with time; instead, they intensified as your prenatal checkup date approached. You understood that you couldn't hide forever, and the prenatal checkup was something you had to face.

"Don't worry, there's always a way out. We'll see." Shen Yan's words, though simple, offered you a sliver of comfort. After hanging up, you tossed and turned in bed, your heart filled with mixed emotions. I don't understand why Jiang Yichen is so relentlessly pursuing me. So many women are willing to have his children, why does he insist on clinging to me?

For my safety, Shen Yan hasn't been home for several days. She goes to bars every day after get off work to cover my tracks. She secretly orders takeout for me, always using a disposable phone number to ensure my safety.

Before I knew it, it was time for my prenatal checkup. I frowned and looked out the window with worry.

I kept checking the time, afraid of missing the time I had agreed to meet Shen Yan.

Finally, Shen Yan called and told me to disguise myself before going downstairs.

I quickly changed into an inconspicuous outfit, put on a hat and a mask, and tried to make myself look different from usual.

I carefully observed my surroundings, and only after confirming that there were no suspicious people or vehicles did I quickly walk downstairs.

Soon, a car stopped in front of me.

The car window rolled down, revealing Shen Yan, who was also disguised. She nodded to me, indicating that I should get in the car quickly.

I quickly opened the car door and got in.

"How is it? Did you get caught?" Shen Yan asked with concern as she started the car.

"Probably not." I shook my head, still feeling a little uneasy.

Shen Yan comforted her, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything. We'll go to a discreet clinic for the prenatal checkup; it's very safe there, and we won't be discovered."

Hearing Shen Yan's words, I felt a little relieved.

"But won't Jiang Yichen find out about us?" I looked at her, puzzled, wondering how she had managed to distract Jiang Yichen.

“I called him this morning to tell him that he had left the city, but I didn’t know where he went.”

"He believed it?" I asked in surprise.

Shen Yan crossed her arms, a mysterious smile playing on her lips, and gently shook her head, saying, "Of course he wouldn't believe me so easily. However, I used your ID information to buy a plane ticket to the next city. If he really wanted to check, he could easily find the record for that ticket."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but give Shen Yan a thumbs up and sincerely exclaimed, "That was a brilliant move! We really need you!"

"Of course! Don't you know who your sister is? This is a small matter," Shen Yan replied smugly.

Even so, Shen Yan and I were extra careful when we arrived at the hospital for our prenatal checkup. We mingled among the pregnant women in line, observing everything around us. Looking at those pregnant women with happy smiles on their faces, all accompanied by their husbands, while I only had Shen Yan by my side, a pang of sadness welled up in my heart.

Just as I was lost in my thoughts, I suddenly heard someone call my name: "Number 27, Gu Mo." I snapped out of my reverie, and Shen Yan took my hand, and we walked into the examination room together.

Watching the tiny black dot on the screen grow bigger and bigger, Shen Yan and I both felt a strange sensation. Shen Yan excitedly grabbed my hand and said, "He looks like a little bean sprout!" I smiled and nodded, my heart also filled with anticipation.

The doctor explained the baby's condition to us with a kind expression: "The baby is perfectly normal, and he has already started to develop little hands and feet. In a little while, you will be able to feel the baby move, and then you can start prenatal education."

However, the doctor's next question stunned us both: "Where's the child's father?"

I stammered, "His father... went out, he's not home." After saying that, I felt my face burning. Shen Yan also seemed a little embarrassed; she gently patted my hand, trying to comfort me.

I know the doctor only asked that question out of concern, but I still felt a pang of sadness. Looking at that tiny life on the screen, I secretly made up my mind that I would protect him no matter what, and let him grow up healthy and happy.

We walked out, chatting and laughing, holding our prenatal checkup reports, completely forgetting about Jiang Yichen's presence.

"Momo, I just heard Little Sprout's heartbeat too, it's amazing."

"Yes, I also think it's amazing. I don't regret keeping Shen Yan at all." I said, touching my lower abdomen with a happy expression.

Even though my child may not have a father in the future, it doesn't matter. I will give him all my love.
