Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 601 - 602: That Child is Mine, Correct?

This made Min Xin quite unhappy, but with Zhou Yu present, he chose to ignore his displeasure and called out, "Yuyu," once more.

Zhou Yu seemed a little uncomfortable and murmured, "I was coming to the hospital anyway, and Anxi said she was coming to see you."

So, she only agreed to come because of that? Min Xin felt a faint bitterness in his heart. She probably wouldn’t have come if it weren’t for Gu Anxi!

He paused for a moment. Not wanting to spoil the mood, he asked lightly, "How is the baby?"

As he said this, he felt as if he might cough up blood.

Heaven knew he really didn’t want to bring it up. After all, it was Old Wang’s child. He, Min Xin, might be generous, but not *that* generous.

His heart ached with a sour feeling, yet his expression was one of intense interest.

Zhou Yu became even more uncomfortable. She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and glanced uneasily at Gu Anxi.

Gu Anxi cleared her throat. "Didn’t we get an ultrasound?"

She took the ultrasound image from Zhou Yu’s hand, placed it in front of Min Xin, and explained patiently, "See, this little black dot is the baby. Isn’t it cute?"

Min Xin’s heart filled with even more bitterness, but he managed a faint smile. "It is quite cute."

Gu Anxi continued her explanation, "This little dot you see is actually the embryo, right after the fertilized egg has divided and implanted itself on the uterine wall. It’s just a tiny speck at this stage, too small to show any resemblance to its parents yet!"

Min Xin’s expression grew increasingly rigid.

The secretary beside him was frantic. Dr. Gu, of all things, why did you have to bring *that* up? Aren’t you just reminding Mr. Min of how the baby was conceived? This is like stabbing him in the heart!

So, he tried desperately to signal with his eyes, but Gu Anxi seemed oblivious and continued her popular science lesson.

Min Xin’s expression was now indescribably awful.

Finally, Gu Anxi seemed to notice his change in demeanor and smiled. "Mr. Min doesn’t seem very happy."

"I’m quite happy," Min Xin said, his voice faint. Then he looked at Zhou Yu. "Are you... doing okay?"

Zhou Yu gave a slight smile. "I’m alright. It’s just that I haven’t had much of an appetite these past few days and have been feeling a bit nauseous."

The secretary chimed in cleverly from the side, "Oh, that must be the morning sickness. It usually starts around the 42nd day of pregnancy and seems to clear up on its own by the 84th day."

Gu Anxi chuckled. "Secretary Wang, you seem quite experienced."

Wang Yuan said modestly, "My wife went through the same thing during her pregnancy."

Min Xin, standing nearby, felt a pang of envy. Even his secretary has a wife and child, while he, at his age, is still single.

Looking at Zhou Yu again, her hand gently caressing her abdomen, her expression exceedingly tender... She must love children too...

His voice was hoarse as he asked, "When are you two getting married?"

Zhou Yu’s belly wasn’t large yet; holding the wedding now would be best. Although it pained him, he still asked. King Jingyao had gotten her pregnant, and it was only right for him to take responsibility. Min Xin thought, and he wasn’t wrong.

The secretary, meanwhile, was frantic. Aren’t you trying to win Madam Zhou back? Why are you encouraging her to marry King Jingyao? Once they’re married, it’ll be almost impossible to reverse things! Besides, when you finally get together with her, do you want people to say she’s on her third marriage?

Min Xin hadn’t thought about those things. He just felt that a woman like Zhou Yu shouldn’t be wronged, shouldn’t be pregnant and subjected to public scrutiny and gossip.

His question seemed to stump Zhou Yu. Of course, she couldn’t marry King Jingyao. The child... let’s not even bring up the possibility of it being Min Xin’s. Even if I weren’t pregnant, Jingyao and I could never be together.

She could tell Jingyao had someone else in his heart. No matter how down on her luck, she, Zhou Yu, would never settle for being a substitute. Besides, she had already compromised for too many years...

The arrival of this child was unexpected. Claiming it was Jingyao’s was merely a temporary measure. After the child is born, I might move abroad and only return when the child is older. She hadn’t told anyone about this, not even Anxi or Jingyao.

Now, caught off guard by his question, she paused for a moment before murmuring, "Let’s wait until the child is born."

Min Xin’s voice was grave. "Then it wouldn’t be a child born in wedlock."

"I don’t really care." Zhou Yu smiled gently. "Min Xin, I’m a little tired. I’d like to go back now."

Min Xin didn’t try to make her stay. He also felt that such a conversation was rather unpleasant, even though he harbored a certain longing for her company.

Only after Zhou Yu and Gu Anxi had left did he realize he was still clutching Zhou Yu’s ultrasound report. He looked down, silently staring at the tiny black dot.

If he and Zhou Yu hadn’t divorced, this little black dot would be his child, wouldn’t it? Min Xin thought silently.

Wang Yuan, his secretary, noticed his low spirits and quietly kept him company. After a while, he suddenly spoke up, "Madam Zhou is experiencing morning sickness. Should we send some sour things over? Women tend to crave that flavor at this time."

Min Xin looked up, extremely surprised. "Is that so? Then quickly send some fruit or something similar over. King Jingyao is busy all the time and might not always be able to fully look after her. Besides..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, but the secretary understood.

The secretary knew how heavy Min Xin’s heart was, so he tried to think of a way to lighten the atmosphere. "By the way, Mr. Min, perhaps you don’t know this, but the 42 days of pregnancy for Madam Zhou’s child are counted starting from the first day of her last menstrual period."

"What?" Min Xin immediately looked up, his gaze filled with astonishment.

The secretary looked surprised. "You didn’t know, sir?"

Min Xin’s voice was incredibly hoarse. "I didn’t know."

His chest heaved as he started calculating the dates. He had always been crystal clear about Zhou Yu’s cycle—

They had been divorced for less than a month. Before their divorce, they had been at the hotel. Afterwards, he had asked her if she had taken the pill, and she said she had... Could it be she hadn’t taken it? Did she lie to him?

Min Xin clenched his fist. "Make a copy of this for me. Then, find an obstetrician—a reliable one, not from Yunxi Hospital, and absolutely do not let Gu Anxi know. I want to understand this situation better."

The secretary was astounded, stammering, "Are you... are you... saying that this child is yours, sir?"

Min Xin glanced at him, then said suddenly, "Zhou Yu isn’t the type of woman to just settle; she wouldn’t accept a man so quickly."

That’s right. She was so particular, pampered by him like a little fairy. How could she be willing to get pregnant out of wedlock with another man’s child, without any formal status? She was a lady raised in such a traditional family; how could she, how would she be willing?

In that instant, Min Xin gritted his teeth. "It must be Gu Anxi!"

The secretary was dumbfounded once more. "Why Dr. Gu again?"

Min Xin practically roared, "If that damned nuisance weren’t around, the world would be at peace!"

As Min Xin seethed with anger, his secretary, trembling with apprehension, cautiously reminded him, "You still need Dr. Gu for now, sir. You can’t afford to offend her."

His words seemed to calm Min Xin down— 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Yes, Gu Anxi is still useful.

He suddenly remembered that Zhou Yu being pregnant and by King Jingyao’s side was actually the safest situation for her right now. If outsiders knew Zhou Yu was carrying his child, it would definitely be dangerous.

He raised his hand, his voice low. "Don’t find the doctor. It would only bring danger to Zhou Yu."

The secretary sighed in relief and eagerly awaited his next instructions.
