Chapter 70 - I am pregnant?!
After cautiously coming to work in distress for a while, Pei Ge learned that Ji Ziming did not come to the company for these past few days.
At this, Pei Ge became surer that she had been overthinking things.
I’m so smart; how could Ji Ziming, that annoying fellow, know that I’m right under his very nose?!
“Hm, hm, hm!” Pei Ge skipped into the office in a cheerful mood as she hummed a tune under her breath. With a big smile on her face, she sat in front of the computer on her desk and started working.
“Pei Ge, what made you so happy today?” a colleague sitting nearby bantered upon seeing her cheerful mood.
“Nothing! I’m just feeling good today!” Pei Ge grinningly replied.
“Is that so? And to think you were so skittish and downcast these past few days.” The female colleague continued to tease her.
“Forget it. Pay more attention next time.” Yang Aoyun grudgingly signaled Pei Ge to leave with a wave of her hand.
Having left the director’s office, Pei Ge poured another big glass of water for herself and downed it in one go.
Bi Zheng, who was sitting beside Pei Ge, lightly glanced at her when he saw Pei Ge gulp down loads of water.
“Drinking too much water is bad for your body.”
“Ah, it – it’s fine. I was just feeling too thirsty.” Pei Ge gripped the cup in her hand and drank another gulp of water.
Spending the whole afternoon in a muddle-headed state, Pei Ge rushed out of the office the moment it was time to get off work. She then hurriedly flagged down a taxi as she wanted to quickly arrive at her home.
However, halfway through her journey, Pei Ge remembered that she needed to buy a pregnancy test kit.
“Mister, if you see a convenience store later, please stop the car for a bit. I’ll go buy something,” Pei Ge politely requested to the taxi driver.
The driver glanced at Pei Ge before replying in a laid-back manner, “You will be charged extra for that.”
“Alright!” the usually thrifty Pei Ge unhesitatingly agreed this time.
The taxi drove on for a while longer before stopping beside a convenience store.
Pei Ge got off the cab and rushed inside. However, after walking around, she was still unable to find a pregnancy test kit.
Hence, she could only abashedly ask the cashier for it.
“Pregnancy test kit?” The cashier glanced at Pei Ge with a sullen face and then said, “Wait here a moment; I’ll get you one.”
“Alright! Thank you so much!” Pei Ge gratefully exclaimed.
The cashier went to a remote corner of the store and searched painstakingly for a while before finally retrieving a small, rectangular box.
“Here is the pregnancy test kit. That’s 5 yuan,” the cashier said curtly.
Without paying much heed to the dust covering the box, Pei Ge quickly paid for it and once more got inside the taxi bound for her house.
“Ge Ge, why are you home so early today?” Zhang Manhua smiled when she saw her daughter arrive.
Pei Ge did not reply to her mother. Instead, she rushed into the washroom.
Pak! The sound of slamming door made Zhang Manhua feel that something was amiss.
After a long while, Pei Ge finally came out from the washroom.
“Ge Ge, what’s wrong?” Zhang Manhua seriously regarded Pei Ge as she sensed that her daughter was not in a good mood.
Pei Ge tugged at her lips and smilingly replied, “It’s nothing. I was just in a hurry to use the toilet.”
“Oh, I see.” Zhang Manhua looked amusedly at Pei Ge, clearly convinced by her words.
“What do you feel like eating tonight?” Zhang Manhua asked with a smile.
“Mom, I’m going on a diet today, so I’m not having dinner.” Pei Ge smiled at Zhang Manhua.
“You child, why are you going on a diet all of a sudden…” Zhang Manhua nagged.
Under Zhang Manhua’s incessant nagging, Pei Ge returned to her bedroom.
The moment the door was closed, the smile on Pei Ge’s face vanished as she powerlessly leaned against it.
There was one dark line and one light red line on the pregnancy test kit. Was she really pregnant?
