"Is my stepmother actually pregnant?" He Xinyan asked with an innocent smile.

The doctor licked her lips and smiled back, "Yes, of course she is! Why do you ask?"

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow, "Oh really?"

"Yes." The doctor's expression turned serious as she took a step forward.

"Okay. I'm just too excited, so I wanted to make sure! Thank you, Doctor Qi." He Xinyan waved goodbye to her before walking out of the room.

Outside, He Xinyan slowly walked to the front lobby where Bai Jiawei, Li Huiran, and Li Yuyan were waiting for her.

Li Huiran looked at her cautiously when she saw her come back, "What took you so long?"

He Xinyan smiled, "I forgot where I put it, so I had to look for it."

Li Huiran eyed her suspiciously, but she didn't say anything further. The four of them entered the car again and drove back to the Xihe Estates.

Inside her room, He Xinyan thought about the doctor's response. Could she believe the doctor? But then, what would the sanitary pad mean?

Was Li Huiran actually pregnant?

It just didn't fit. Unless the sanitary pad belonged to someone else. . . But she was sure the person in the bathroom was Li Huiran! And she heard her take the pad out! Pregnant women couldn't have a period, so the only explanation was that Li Huiran wasn't pregnant!

So the doctor was lying?

He Xinyan pulled out her phone and texted Gu Yechen.

'Can I come over for dinner tonight?'

Before she could even exit the app and close her phone, there was a response.

'Mr. Boyfriend: Sure!'

He Xinyan smiled before closing her phone. Gu Yechen was really boyfriend material. . .

---

At 6 P.M., He Xinyan left the He mansion to go to Gu Yechen's house. Although he wouldn't be home from work yet, she could wait for him there.

She sat down on the couch and opened a bag of chips. She had only popped the first chip into her mouth when she heard the door click open.

He Xinyan jumped up from the couch and ran to the front door, "Gu Yechen! You're here!"

Gu Yechen grinned and took off his shoes before walking over to He Xinyan. Without saying anything, he wrapped both arms around her and rested his chin on her head.

He Xinyan froze and her body slightly tensed up, not knowing how to react. The bag of chips she was holding was stuck in between their two bodies as they hugged.

They stayed like that for almost a minute before Gu Yechen let go of her.

He put on his slippers and grabbed her hand to walk into the living room together.

"My battery is fully charged now!"

He Xinyan looked up at him and laughed. So she was his battery?

About an hour later, they sat down at the dining table together to eat dinner. Gu Yechen had made kung pao chicken, sweet and sour spare ribs, and a vegetable soup.

He Xinyan loved eating meat, and she practically ate it every single meal. Looking at the table filled with food, her eyes lit up and she began eating.

She was on her second bowl of rice already when she suddenly remembered what she was here for, "Oh, right! Yechen, I went with Li Huiran to her pregnancy check-up today."

"And?" Gu Yechen asked as he placed a piece of meat onto He Xinyan's plate.

"So I asked the doctor privately if Li Huiran is really pregnant or not, and the doctor said she is. However, I still don't really believe her."

"I don't either."

He Xinyan raised one eyebrow, "Why?" She said through a mouthful of meat and rice.

Gu Yechen helped her wipe her lips, "Chew slowly. It is easy to bribe a doctor, so Li Huiran could have bribed the doctor to lie with her. Also, how would you explain the pad you found in the restroom?"

"Exactly!" He Xinyan nodded her head in agreement and swallowed her food.

"So I need your help."

"At your command!" Gu Yechen was more than happy to help his wife. . . he meant future wife.

"The doctor would obviously not tell me anything. However, I know you have your ways. Right, President Gu?"

Gu Yechen smiled, "Don't worry about it. I'll get you the truth."

"Thank you, President Gu!"

The next day, He Xinyan had filming, so she couldn't stay home and keep investigating Li Huiran. Maybe she was just overthinking, but there was just this feeling inside her that told her that something was wrong.

She came home from filming late into the night, and she went straight up for bed since she had eaten at the filming location.

For several days, Gu Yechen had cooked her food to eat while filming. However, she didn't want him to spend so much time cooking for her since he was probably also very busy, so she ate what everyone ate at filming now.

Still, the food was from an extremely high-end restaurant that Gu Yechen ordered, so it was very delicious.

He Xinyan opened the door into her room and noticed that the lights were open.

When she walked in, she saw Gu Yechen walk out of the bathroom.

"Go take a bath. The water is warm."

"Thank you," He Xinyan walked over and lifted her heels off of the ground to kiss Gu Yechen before entering the bathroom.

Gu Yechen gently put one finger to his lips and smiled.

Several minutes later, she walked out and crawled into the blanket next to Gu Yechen.

"The information you want should come tomorrow morning. Do you want to come to my company tomorrow to get the information?"

He Xinyan rested her head onto Gu Yechen's chest, "The information about the doctor and Li Huiran's pregnancy?"

"Yes. Don't worry about it. I will get accurate and truthful information. I sent a very experienced group."

"Group?!" He Xinyan looked up in surprise. What did he mean by group?

"I sent one of my assistants. You should know him. He was the one that I sent for your audition in Beautiful Things Past. I also sent the leader of the Gu Corporation's lawyer group to go over the lawsuits of fabricating a health report. And I also sent another famous obstetrician from Country A, who understands pregnancy and childbirth more."

He Xinyan's eyes widened and her mouth fell open, "You're kidding, right? You actually did all that just to get a doctor to say the truth!"

Gu Yechen smiled and said, "Of course! I have to treat every single task my baby gives me very seriously!"

He Xinyan laughed and gently patted his head, "Good job! When should I go visit your company tomorrow?"

"Can you come at 11? We can eat lunch together."

"Okay."

The next morning, He Xinyan got dressed into a black sweater and jeans before leaving the house at 10:15.

She arrived ten minutes early from the scheduled time, and she quickly walked into the huge building.

When she walked to the front desk, another lady standing in front of the desk bowed down.

"Hello, Miss He. I am here to escort you to President Gu's office. Please follow me." The female worker smiled politely before turning around and leading He Xinyan over to the elevator.

He Xinyan walked into the elevator after the female worker and the worker clicked the top floor. During the elevator ride, the female assistant glanced at He Xinyan once in a while, eyeing her up and down.

Who was this woman that the president specifically ordered for her to come down and escort? Was she the boss of another company?

However, from the way He Xinyan was dressing, the female worker quickly wiped out that thought. Was she President Gu's friend? But she had never seen this woman before. . .

The elevator door clicked open and the assistant quickly walked out first and led He Xinyan up the stairs and to the president's private office.

The worker knocked twice and the door opened a few seconds later.

The person who opened it was Chen Xiao, and he smiled when he saw He Xinyan.

"Please come in, Miss He. The president is waiting for you."

He Xinyan stepped into the room and immediately saw Gu Yechen sitting behind his gigantic desk. The desk was piled with folders and papers, but it was all organized neatly.

He was wearing a pair of thin gold-framed glasses, and he immediately looked up when he heard someone walk in. His hands stopped typing and he stood up from his chair.

It was difficult to see through the glasses, but He Xinyan seemed to notice a spark of happiness flash past Gu Yechen's eyes as he removed his glasses.

"You're here." He walked around the table and grabbed a blue folder placed at the front of the desk. He sat down next to He Xinyan and placed the folder onto the table.

"Here is the information. There is also a recording inside of what the doctor said. I didn't look at it yet."

He Xinyan picked up the folder eagerly and opened it.
