Part Three, Chapter 35 A False Alarm

ting after being drenched by rain.Hearing the assistant's voice, she looked up and continued to say pitifully."My legs are numb, I can't get up, help me!"The assistant hurriedly crouched down and help...She had a sleepless night, with no one to confide in. Besides Xu Haocheng and Yaoyao, she had no other friends, but she couldn't tell either of them about this.

As dawn was breaking, she headed straight to work. She had been tossing and turning all night after finding out about her suspected pregnancy and researching early pregnancy test kits online. She knew that even with a positive result, there was no guarantee.

She went to a pharmacy far away and bought two pregnancy tests, planning to take them again later. If there were still two lines, she would go to the hospital for a blood test.

After a night's rest, she had calmed down considerably and possessed a composure of meeting the enemy head-on.

But I still held onto a sliver of hope, wishing that yesterday's test had been wrong.

The office building was eerily quiet in the early morning. She put down her bag and, with a somewhat furtive air, went to the restroom. Although there was no one in the office at dawn, she still felt a tinge of guilt.

As she pushed the door open, she was startled and the thing hidden in her sleeve nearly fell out. Tao Kaiyan was actually inside washing and putting on makeup. Seeing her enter, she looked a little surprised and asked, "So early"

Chen Ning tucked the pregnancy test back into her sleeve and replied, "Yeah. Didn't you come home last night"

There's a document that needs to be translated, and it's due today, so I have to work all night to finish it.

Since knowing Chen Ning had automatically resigned to go to X country, Tao Kaiyan's attitude towards her was much better than before, at least she was no longer cold and distant.

Chen Ning returned a polite smile and nodded before turning to enter the cubicle.

When she operated again, because of the result from last night, she wasn't as nervous today. After waiting for the time, she only silently prayed three times in her heart before opening her eyes to see the results.

A red bar.

There is only one.

The red bars.

She was incredible, she confirmed repeatedly, there was just one, not two.

She almost jumped for joy; she wasn't pregnant.

Oh my God, she's not pregnant!

For good measure, she hurried back to the office to fetch another one. Her footsteps, which had felt as heavy as a thousand pounds when she came over earlier, suddenly became light and airy. The big stone in her heart was lifted directly, and she felt that even her breathing was much easier.

She was in the office, after drinking three glasses of water in a row, she took the second one and went back to the restroom to take another pregnancy test. Her hand was shaking this time, but it was an excited tremble.

After a few minutes of quick operations, what I saw was still just a line.

So she wasn't actually pregnant. Last night was an accident, a mistake, the product was fake and counterfeit.

A false alarm, truly the most wonderful word in the world.

Back in the office, she found Tao Kaiyan was gone. She probably went to the cafeteria downstairs for breakfast. She didn't think much about it, her whole being was relaxed.

One morning, she now had time to take out her phone and tell Song Jingye that she wasn't pregnant.

As soon as I opened my phone, I saw over ten missed calls on the screen, all from Song Jingye.

She rushed back, and just as she made a sound, the other side answered. Song Jingye's voice, suppressing anger, came through: "Where did you go this morning"

He slept for two hours in the car and woke up. When he woke up, he went to buy her breakfast next door and carried it upstairs. As a result, he knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response. He called but nobody answered. He almost decided to break in again. A teacher who had just finished morning exercises next door said that she had gone out early. This worried him.

One morning.

Chen Ling was taken aback by the shout, “I've arrived at the office.”

For a moment, she forgot that the purpose of her call was to tell him she wasn't pregnant.

Song Jingye: "I'm downstairs at your office building, come down and talk."

It was before work time, Chen Ling went downstairs.

Song Jingye's car was parked on the roadside across from their office building, with its hazard lights flashing. That spot allowed for temporary parking, but not long-term. Chen Ning ran over in a hurry. Song Jingye frowned and got out of the car to meet her: "Why are you running Can't you walk slower"

"Uncle." Chen Ling's reply was imbued with a lightness she had never felt before. Calling him that, her voice held an unexpected clarity, leaving Song Jingye momentarily taken aback. He simply said, "Get in the car."

He thought all night and became even more certain of last night's decision; it was the best solution.

Chen Ling told him to get in the car first and then talk.

As soon as she got in the car, Song Jingye passed her the breakfast he bought from the back seat. It was just simple soy milk, eggs and steamed buns.

When he handed it to her, he even thoughtfully inserted the straw into the soy milk and then started peeling the eggs.

Chen Ning was a little taken aback, she took the soy milk and took a sip. Afraid he would misunderstand her pregnancy again and be overly considerate, she quickly spoke up: "Uncle, I checked again this morning."

At the same time, Song Jingye also spoke up: "Ning Hui, I've made up my mind."

Simultaneously, after speaking, both fell silent, waiting for the other to speak.

Just as Chen Ling was about to prepare to speak, Song Jingye took the lead and said, "My proposal last night was serious. It's the best choice from any angle. Moreover, after we get married, it will definitely not affect your work. Maybe these months of pregnancy will be a little hard on you, but >>>

After that, you can rest assured and focus on your career.

Chen Ning interrupted him: "But Uncle, I hope you're happy. I hope your marriage is based on love, not responsibility or compromise. That's the kind of marriage I want too."

Song Jingye: "Don't settle, and feelings can be cultivated slowly. I think we will definitely be the most suitable partners."

Chen Ning then brought the conversation back to the topic: "If I wasn't pregnant, would you still want to marry me and cultivate our relationship slowly"

Song Jingye looked at her inexplicably.

She didn't want to put him in a difficult position, so she said directly: "I took two tests this morning, and they both came back negative. Last night was just an error."

She really let out a big sigh of relief. This false alarm was a wake-up call for her, even if you love someone deeply, you must always stay alert.

"Not pregnant" Song Jingye questioned.

"Yes," Chen Ling thought back, he should be relieved like himself too.

Song Jingye, hearing her affirmative reply, felt a mixture of disappointment and relief in his heart. A jumble of emotions swirled within him, indescribable and intangible. He himself couldn't grasp what he was feeling.

But Chen Ling's relaxed reply was obvious, even her getting out of the car and saying goodbye were lighthearted: "Uncle, thank you for the breakfast. Parking here can't be too long, I have to go back to work."

She held a cup of soy milk and a bun in her hand, striding back to her office.

Song Jingye didn't come back to his senses until her figure disappeared, gradually digesting the fact that she wasn't pregnant.

Chen Ning replied, "Of course I'm happy. I originally thought that pregnancy might affect my career prospects, but now everything seems to be looking up suddenly, so I'll go back to the company."

After that, he actively threw himself into preparations for going to X country.h her for a while.Although he would often flaunt their affection on WeChat every few days while on set, he hasn't mentioned her in a while. He didn't even ask her to help distract Lu Kuo when he retur...
