87: Chapter 87 Xia Ning, calm down! This...this is a distorted love!
Xia Ning read the message Qin Xun sent, carefully reading it three times before she was sure she wasn't seeing things.
The expression on her face gradually faded, becoming terrifyingly calm.
Suddenly!
Her phone rang.
She looked and saw it was "Dad."
Xia Ning answered the phone, her voice calm.
"Hello."
On the other end of the line, her father's voice was somewhat hurried, lacking its usual composure.
"Ningning, are you pregnant?"
Xia Ning's expression remained unchanged.
"No."
She heard her father let out a sigh of relief on the phone.
"Then what is that message in the group chat?"
Xia Ning immediately guessed that Niu Xiaojun had gone to complain again, and it was so timely that she was likely sitting right next to her father.
She answered coldly.
"He is spreading rumors."
Xia Shujie: "Kill him!"
Xia Ning nodded slightly.
"Okay."
She hung up the phone.
She noticed she had received a WeChat message from Qin Xun.
[Xiao Xia, I promised you before that I would keep your pregnancy a secret for you, but today I discovered that everyone already knows.]
[Furthermore, they all think the child in your belly is mine.]
[I said it before, I cannot take the blame for this.]
Xia Ning's eyes turned slightly cold.
No wonder Qin Xun's attitude towards her had been so strange recently.
She racked her brains to think.
Where exactly did things start to go wrong?
...
Xia Ning walked out of the restroom, meticulously washed her hands at the sink, adjusted the loose strands of hair on her forehead in front of the mirror, and then slowly walked out.
She saw her colleagues peeking over in her direction.
She swept a cold gaze over them, scaring everyone into lowering their heads.
Xia Ning held her head high and chest out, walking step by step to the General Manager's office.
As soon as she entered.
Qin Xun, who was lying on the sofa, was startled.
"Hey! Xia Ning, didn't you go to the hospital?"
Xia Ning paused, shook her head, and silently sat behind her desk.
At this moment, the sea breeze picked up outside the window.
The sky turned overcast.
It looked like it was going to rain, just like her mood.
Seeing that she wasn't very happy, Qin Xun sighed and comforted her.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
"There are so many unmarried mothers in the world; we won't look at you with colored glasses."
Xia Ning: "..."
She took a deep breath and said nothing.
Qin Xun looked at the silent Xia Ning and asked.
"Are you okay?"
Xia Ning shook her head.
Qin Xun asked again: "You aren't mad at me, right?"
Xia Ning was silent for a moment, then revealed a faint smile.
"No."
Seeing the smile on Xia Ning's face, Qin Xun breathed a sigh of relief and walked to her desk.
He picked up the flower tea that Cheng Wan had given and brewed a cup for Xia Ning.
"Sister Wan really knows how to care for people; she brought you quite a lot of good tea for pregnancy."
Xia Ning: "..."
She picked up the teacup and took a slow sip.
...
In the company.
Everyone looked at each other, eyes wide, before secretly glancing toward the General Manager's office, pricking up their ears.
They waited for a long time but couldn't hear any movement.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration.
So quiet?
Is President Qin's ability to train his little assistant too high?
Or is it that Xia Ning really is pregnant with someone else's child and feels guilty, so she doesn't dare to make a scene?
...
In the General Manager's office.
Seeing that Xia Ning was still unwilling to talk much, Qin Xun shook his head helplessly, lay down on the sofa, and continued playing games.
Xia Ning finished the cup of tea and threw the remaining flower tea on the table into the trash can.
She sent a hospital diagnosis report to her phone, with the diagnosis result being—chronic gastroenteritis.
Immediately after, she sent another sentence.
[I am not pregnant.]
...
In the HR office.
Cheng Wan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly started laughing, laughing until she slumped over the desk, tears streaming down her face.
"What kind of situation is this?"
"I mean, scaring President Qin like that!"
Suddenly, the smile on her face disappeared.
"Oh no!"
"I even sent President Xia a few bags of tea for pregnancy this morning. Did I end up sucking up to the wrong person?"
...
In the office.
Everyone looked at each other, then simultaneously looked toward the tightly closed door of the General Manager's office.
"Damn it!"
"Boring, I even had my sunflower seeds ready!"
"I told you guys not to spread gossip!"
"You were the one spreading it the most, okay?"
...
In the General Manager's office.
Xia Ning glanced at Qin Xun and realized he was still lying there playing games, completely unaware of the messages in the group chat.
Right!
He had muted the company group chat.
Any company decisions were reported to him by her, his personal assistant.
He never checked them himself.
Xia Ning covered her face with both hands, feeling increasingly embarrassed. Her face grew hotter and hotter, and her brain was turning into mush.
She let go of her hands and glanced at Qin Xun, who was still playing games.
Trembling slightly with anger, she quickly unlocked her phone, opened a delivery app, and typed in "stun gun." She placed the order casually.
The whole process was smooth and fluid, taking less than 30 seconds.
She was going to teach Qin Xun a lesson!
...
Fifteen minutes later.
Xia Ning received a call from the delivery driver. She walked out of the office, received an exquisite bag from the delivery, and hurried back into the office.
She locked the door from the inside.
Qin Xun heard a "click," the sound of the door locking, and looked up to see Xia Ning standing behind the door.
Her hands were behind her back, as if she were hiding something, and a dangerous curve played at the corners of her mouth.
Qin Xun's heart skipped a beat.
"Xia Ning, what's wrong?"
Xia Ning smiled.
"Nothing, I prepared a gift for you."
Looking at the smile on Xia Ning's face, Qin Xun felt completely uneasy. He sat up from the sofa and put on his shoes, ready to run at any moment.
"What did you prepare for me?"
He saw Xia Ning standing behind the door, her hands behind her back moving, and heard the sound of a plastic bag being opened.
A moment later, a blue plastic bag fell to the ground.
Suddenly!
Xia Ning pulled a stun gun from behind her back with her right hand, smiling, and slowly walked toward Qin Xun, saying word by word.
"Qin Xun, I'm going to kill you today."
Qin Xun was stunned!
He looked at the familiar stun gun in Xia Ning's hand, then at the dangerous smile on her face, and then at the locked door.
The expression on his face became incredibly dramatic.
Seeing that Xia Ning was only half a meter away from him, he lowered his voice, terrified that his colleagues outside the office might hear, and said sharply.
"Xia Ning! Calm down!"
"In broad daylight, under the open sky, how can you, a pregnant woman, do such a filthy thing?"
The smile on Xia Ning's lips disappeared!
"This is called 'women are no less than men.' Who says only men can hit people?"
She held up the stun gun, pressed the button, and jabbed it toward Qin Xun's waist.
Qin Xun turned and dodged.
"This is a twisted love!"
Xia Ning missed, using too much force, and tumbled headfirst onto the sofa.
Then, she heard the sound of the lock opening behind her.
"Bang!"
The door opened and closed.
A series of hurried cries faded into the distance.
Xia Ning quickly got up, gripped the stun gun tightly, and chased after him in her high heels.
"Don't run!"
On the office floor.
On the plastic bag that Xia Ning had discarded, a line of small text was printed in the bottom right corner.
[Training Stun Gun, more satisfying than vibration]
