The lady is pregnant! Third Master, please restrain yourself after the marriage.

"Why is it you? Where is President Qin?" Jiang Nan stared at Xiao Ziqian in confusion.

Xiao Ziqian sat at the long table, smiled gently as he stood up, "I know you care a lot about this project, so I came to discuss it in person."

Sitting next to him was a clean-cut and young male assistant.

Jiang Nan suddenly realized.

This investment company is a branch of the Xiao Group, and Xiao Ziqian serves as its president.

Chen Lin, dressed in business attire, followed Jiang Nan, watching them with eyes full of gossip.

Is it...

Do they know each other?

Jiang Nan hesitated for a few seconds, then pulled Chen Lin to sit down. No matter who came today, she was determined to secure the investment.

"In that case, I believe President Xiao has already reviewed our R&D plan. If there are no problems, let's sign the contract today." Jiang Nan laid the contract out on the empty table, looking capable.

Xiao Ziqian tried to stall, "No rush, I've already ordered some dishes, all your favorites. Let's talk while we eat."

Jiang Nan didn't want to eat.

Before she could refuse, the waiter came over and placed four steaks in front of them.

Jiang Nan glared at Xiao Ziqian, but had no choice but to put the contract away.

Xiao Ziqian first cut the steak for her, thoughtfully cutting it into strips of moderate thickness. "This tastes the best, medium-rare, you can try it."

He reached out, took the portion in front of Jiang Nan, and then placed his own portion in front of her.

moment.

Jiang Nan smelled a meaty odor entering his nostrils, and a sudden discomfort shot through his chest.

That nausea I felt yesterday has returned.

Mingming drank a latte and ate a cheese bread in the morning.

"Why aren't you eating?"

Xiao Ziqian noticed she hadn't moved and looked at her questioningly, "Isn't black pepper steak your favorite?"

Jiang Nan just wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible, so he said he was fine and, despite feeling uncomfortable, forked a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

The pungent, meaty smell amplified rapidly in her mouth, like something disgusting, stimulating her senses.

My stomach churned instantly.

Jiang Nan hurriedly covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom...

Xiao Ziqian looked at Chen Lin, completely bewildered. "What's wrong with her?"

Chen Lin hurriedly stood up. "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry, I'll go take a look."

She rushed to the bathroom and immediately heard the sound of vomiting.

Jiang Nan was squatting in front of the toilet in the cubicle, vomiting violently. His face was frighteningly red, and tears were welling up in his eyes.

"Director Jiang, what's wrong?" Chen Lin hurriedly bent down and patted her back.

Jiang Nan waved his hand, unable to even speak.

The moment I try to speak, the nausea intensifies, and I vomit even more violently.

Jiang Nan didn't stop until she had vomited her stomach completely, and then she got up and went to the washbasin.

Wash your hands and rinse your mouth with water.

Chen Lin looked at her pale face in the mirror after vomiting and asked cautiously,

"Director Jiang, you're vomiting like this, could you be pregnant?"

Jiang Nan paused.

Remembering the last time she vomited like this, she also thought she was pregnant, but it turned out to be a false alarm.

She gave a wry smile, "It's an old problem."

She thought to herself, she actually hoped she was pregnant.

Chen Lin patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "You scared me to death! I knew you were too young to be pregnant."

The two walked out together.

"What do you mean, pregnant?"

Xiao Ziqian stood in the outer corridor, looking at them blankly.

Seeing that they hadn't gone back for so long, I was worried and came looking for them, and that's when I overheard this.

But he didn't hear clearly.

Jiang Nan's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "It's nothing."

She walked towards the restaurant.

Chen Lin hurriedly followed.

Xiao Ziqian frowned deeply, feeling as if his heart was being blocked as he watched Jiang Nan grow increasingly cold towards him.

He felt that Jiang Nan's current indifference must be because he had always been surrounded by women and enjoyed being fawned over.

In the past two years, Jiang Nanbing's reputation as a pure and innocent heiress has satisfied his vanity quite a bit within the entertainment circle.

Everyone envied him for finding such a noble and pure woman.

Xiao Ziqian returned to his seat.

As soon as he sat down, Jiang Nan handed him the documents. "President Xiao, please sign if there are no problems. I have to go back to the company."

"So eager?"

Xiao Ziqian looked at her and was startled by her pale face. "Why do you look so pale? Should I take you to the hospital to get checked out?"

Jiang Nan kept his hand outstretched, holding the document.

Perfect, we can take advantage of his past mistakes and his lingering guilt.

"I'm not feeling unwell, I just remembered that matter. If Mr. Xiao doesn't want to sign, we don't need to waste our time."

She withdrew her hand.

Xiao Ziqian snatched the document away, saying, "I'll sign it."

He quickly signed his name.

Chen Lin was dumbfounded.

So smoothly?

"Jiang Nan, I'm really sorry about that matter..." Xiao Ziqian signed the document and returned it to her.

"Mr. Xiao, it's a pleasure doing business with you." Jiang Nan gave him a professional smile.

Looking at her cold and aloof demeanor, Xiao Ziqian inexplicably felt as if he had lost her, and his heart felt increasingly heavy.

Without any hesitation, Jiang Nan got up and left with Chen Lin.

After getting into the car, she picked up the soda water from the storage compartment by the car door and drank more than half of the bottle in one go. Only then did the fishy smell and the nausea finally disappear.

Chen Lin was worried. "Director Jiang, the contract has been secured. Why don't you go to the hospital to get checked out?"

Jiang Nan shook his head and took a deep breath.

I stepped on the gas and headed straight for the company.

The project manager felt incredibly relieved after successfully signing the contract, as if he had swallowed a fly.

He said sarcastically, "Director Jiang is indeed a talent parachuted into the company. She secured the contract in just three days. I admire her."

"Dear colleagues, I'll treat you all to dinner once the project is successfully launched," Jiang Nan said generously to his colleagues in the office.

Everyone cheered, "Thank you, Director Jiang!"

"Everyone, let's get back to work."

When Jiang Nan returned to her office, she felt a tightness in her chest and a persistent urge to vomit.

She got up and went to the tea room to pour water herself.

As he passed the project manager's office, his voice slipped out through the slightly ajar door.

"I'm sure it was the eldest young master of the Xiao family who signed it."

"Okay, I understand. I will definitely take care of it."

"..."

Jiang Nan slowed her pace and looked into the office at project manager Chen Cong.

I have a vague feeling that he should be one of Qi Nianci's people.

Jiang Nan drank a large glass of warm water, but the nausea still didn't go away.

She was still worried, so she took an hour off work to leave early and drove to the hospital to see a gastroenterologist.

The doctor asked routinely, "Are you pregnant?"

Jiang Nan understood what the doctor meant; she was worried that the CT scan might have an impact if she was pregnant.

"no."

The doctor observed that she possessed a cool and noble demeanor, unlike a girl who would act recklessly.

They quickly gave her a prescription to get a gastrointestinal CT scan.

Jiang Nan obediently cooperated.

As soon as I arrived at the CT department, I was surprised to see a familiar figure.

Actually, there are two.

Xiao Beixun and Ji Yishu.

Ji Yishu leaned against him uncomfortably, her face pale, and she didn't look as bright and energetic as usual.

Jiang Nan was a bit far away from them, but he could clearly see Ji Yishu frowning, looking unwilling, and acting coquettishly towards him.

A short while later, Xiao Beixun accompanied her into one of the CT scan rooms.

Jiang Nan cursed under his breath.

dog man.

So he has a gentle side too. That's why he was so passionate with her.

Her name was announced on the electronic screen.

Jiang Nan got up and followed the signs to another CT room. Suddenly, a tall figure blocked her way.

Xiao Beixun raised his thick eyebrows in suspicion, his voice magnetic and pleasant, "Are you really pregnant?"
