Pregnant with the Alpha Best Actress's Child - Chapter 30

News of the incident quickly reached the headquarters of Nanlu Entertainment.

Lin Jiahe arrived at the hospital with assistant A-Kang immediately to take over the work of looking after Sang Zhijiu. Because the doctor realized that Sang Zhijiu had not undergone any prior prenatal examinations, he sternly requested that she be hospitalized for two days to complete all necessary tests.

When Jiang Mengzhi learned of the situation, her heart sank as an ominous premonition rose within her. Sang Zhijiu was hospitalized for pregnancy? Hadn’t she just been having dinner with Fan Wu tonight? Fan Wu had specifically sent her and the rest of the staff away just so the two of them could have private space.

Driven by her sixth sense, Jiang Mengzhi set off for the hospital at once. An hour later, she indeed found Fan Wu in the hallway outside the obstetrics and gynecology department, dejected and covering her face with both hands.

Fortunately, the area had already been cleared by Nanlu staff to keep out paparazzi. Jiang Mengzhi hurried to her side.

“What happened?” she whispered. “I heard Sang Zhijiu was in trouble. Why are you the one looking so haggard instead?”

Fan Wu looked up at her, lacking even the strength to speak.

At first, she had been incredibly nervous, thinking Sang Zhijiu had contracted acute gastritis or something similar. But soon, under the guidance of the emergency doctor, they registered at the OB-GYN department and confirmed the news. Sang Zhijiu was indeed pregnant, and she was already several months along.

Fan Wu was so shocked she lost the ability to control her expression; it felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She had just confirmed her feelings for Sang Zhijiu, and she had just confirmed that Sang Zhijiu felt the same. Just as they were about to successfully start dating, this happened.

It was incredibly distressing!

Furthermore, during the doctor’s consultation, Sang Zhijiu explicitly admitted she didn’t know she was pregnant. However, when the doctor mentioned the child’s other parent, Sang Zhijiu was vaguely dismissive and kept looking at Fan Wu with an unreadable gaze.

This proved that Sang Zhijiu at least knew clearly that she had been with someone else, but because her follow-up contraceptive measures failed—likely due to taking the wrong birth control pill—she had ended up pregnant.

Fan Wu was full of questions but didn’t dare ask. Whether Sang Zhijiu had once had an ex or a casual partner, it was not something she could bear right now. In her state of total confusion, when she saw Lin Jiahe and the others arrive, she directly handed Sang Zhijiu over to them and wandered out in a daze.

Jiang Mengzhi paused for a moment, unable to resist confirming: “Sang Zhijiu… is really pregnant?”

Fan Wu nodded. “Mhm.”

Jiang Mengzhi asked, “Whose is it?”

Fan Wu’s head throbbed. “I don’t know.”

Jiang Mengzhi’s professional instincts kicked in. “This is a massive news story. So, does Sang Zhijiu plan to keep the child?”

Fan Wu murmured, “She’s quite far along. If she didn’t… the harm to her body would be immense. And from what I saw of Zhijiu… though she is troubled, she seems inclined to keep the baby.”

What pained Fan Wu was that Sang Zhijiu had been constantly testing her reaction with her eyes. It was as if she was expecting Fan Wu to encourage and support her in keeping the child.

However, Fan Wu was already in such a mess that even though she saw what Zhijiu meant, she could only play dumb and offer no response. What was this? Was Sang Zhijiu certain that she would accept her and someone else’s child?

Fan Wu had a bit of a psychological “cleanliness” streak. If it hadn’t been for Fan Zhengzhi’s involvement in the incident with Zhan Yuerou, she would have rather endured her pheromone symptoms than settle for just anyone. She didn’t have a “virginity complex” and didn’t require her partner to have firmly rejected all temptations before meeting her.

But that didn’t mean she was generous enough to accept her beloved having someone else’s child. Every time she thought of this, Fan Wu’s head buzzed with a painful intensity.

Jiang Mengzhi sighed. “The PR team is going to be busy. An unmarried mother… My god, if this isn’t handled well, it might ruin her acting career.”

Hearing this, Fan Wu stood up abruptly. Jiang Mengzhi was startled, then heard her say, “Let’s go back.”

Fan Wu felt she needed a private, quiet space to sort out everything that had happened today.

Jiang Mengzhi was stunned. “Okay. Wait a moment, let me go say goodbye to Zhijiu.”

Fan Wu stopped her with a cold face. “No need. Let’s just leave.”

Jiang Mengzhi could only compromise. “Sigh, alright. Let’s go; the car is downstairs.”

Under the moonlight, Fan Wu chose to flee in a state of panic and embarrassment.

Inside the hospital ward, Sang Zhijiu’s mind was also in a mess. But at least she was doing better than Fan Wu. If it had been before tonight, she would have been troubled—extremely troubled.

But tonight, Fan Wu had formally confessed to her. Given the current situation, it was only a matter of time before they were together. So, suddenly finding out there was a little one between them—well, while the progress was frighteningly fast, looking at it from another perspective, maybe it was a gift from the heavens?

Thinking this, Sang Zhijiu couldn’t help but curl her lips.

Lin Jiahe poured her a glass of warm water. “My little ancestor, such a huge thing has happened and you still have the heart to smile?” She looked at Sang Zhijiu’s belly. “Never mind. Smile more. Only if you’re happy can this tiny ancestor develop well.”

Sang Zhijiu took the cup and instinctively said “Thank you.”

Lin Jiahe frowned. “Zhijiu, what are your thoughts? Who is the child’s other parent?”

Sang Zhijiu put down the water cup and looked toward the door. “…Where’s Fan Wu? Where is she?”

She didn’t need to think twice to know the child’s other mother was Fan Wu! After all, in her entire life, she had only had that kind of relationship with Fan Wu.

When the prenatal results came out, Fan Wu had been right there and saw them. She knew the month of the child and would surely be able to calculate it. When the doctor asked about the other parent, Sang Zhijiu almost couldn’t stop herself from blurting it out. However, considering that the news of her and Fan Wu having a child would surely explode in the entertainment industry, and the little one needed a formal public announcement, she held back.

At the time, she had repeatedly looked to Fan Wu for help, but Fan Wu seemed completely stunned and hadn’t responded. Sigh, it seemed that in a crisis, her psychological endurance was far superior to Fan Wu’s! Sang Zhijiu puffed out her chest with pride.

A-Kang was guarding the door. Hearing her words, he poked his head in. “Sister Zhijiu, Sister Mengzhi came by just now and took Sister Fan Wu away.”

Sang Zhijiu was in disbelief. “Took her away? Fan Wu just left like that?”

No, what kind of development was this? Sang Zhijiu was bewildered!

Lin Jiahe was even more confused. “What are you looking for Sister Fan Wu for? Don’t tell me the child is hers. When did you two get together? This… the timing doesn’t even match up.”

Sang Zhijiu waved her hand. “I can’t explain it clearly to you.” She lay back on the hospital bed and said, “Jiahe, go get some rest. I want some peace. After I confirm a few things, I’ll tell you.”

Lin Jiahe nodded tremblingly. “I… I understand. Get some good rest then.” After speaking, she took her bag and stumbled out of the ward.

Finally alone in the room, Sang Zhijiu took out her phone. After some thought, she dragged Fan Wu’s private number out of her blacklist and sent a text.

[Why did you go back?]

There was no reply.

Sang Zhijiu tossed and turned, waiting for nearly an hour, but she saw no reply from Fan Wu. Was it too late? Had she already fallen asleep?

Sang Zhijiu was furious. How could she sleep after discovering something this huge? She suddenly felt energized and began typing rapidly.

[Why did you leave the hospital by yourself? Do you not want to accept this child?] [Do the things you said to me tonight not count anymore?] [Fan Wu, you are a big bastard! I’m never talking to you again!]

This time, there was finally a reaction from the other side.

[Senior W: I’m sorry, Zhijiu.] [Senior W: I… I never thought something like this would happen. Give yourself some time, and give me some time as well. Let’s both calm down, okay?]

Sang Zhijiu calmed down.

[Is it because it happened too suddenly and you haven’t reacted yet?]

Seeing this message, Fan Wu couldn’t help but smile bitterly. What did this have to do with whether it was sudden? The existence of this matter itself was no less than a ton of explosives to her.

[Senior W: Yes, it is.] [Senior W: So… I need to think. I need to think about it carefully.]

Although she was still a bit annoyed, Sang Zhijiu decided to give the other party more time. Both of them were now mothers to the fetus in her womb. It didn’t matter if Fan Wu was a bit fragile; she had to show some responsibility!

[Mhm, I can understand.] [I hope you can adjust properly. The baby and I don’t want to wait too long.]

After Fan Wu finished reading, she turned off her phone screen and fell onto the bed helplessly. Sang Zhijiu’s meaning was clear: she hoped Fan Wu could accept her and the baby in her belly.

To be honest, it was impossible for Fan Wu to give up on Sang Zhijiu. In all her years, she had never been moved by anyone, only to realize that her heart had long been hanging on Sang Zhijiu. She wanted to compensate for all her past debts and was already prepared to treat her little one well.

But…

Fan Wu turned over and buried herself in the bedding, staying awake silently but clearly until the sky grew bright.
