Chapter 1545: Chapter 1546: Taking the Pulse

These are some symptoms before a cold, and Feng Jinglei said this to conceal something.

The Doctor paused at her words and looked up at her pale face.

"Could it be that you’re catching a cold?"

Feng Jinglei was uneasy, "Uh, maybe, I think I had similar symptoms when I had a cold before."

The Doctor stared at her, contemplating for a few seconds.

Zhuang Yanyan was also a bit suspicious. In this cold weather, it’s indeed easy to catch a cold.

But just to be safe, Zhuang Yanyan suggested that the Doctor check her pulse, for reassurance.

"Could you check her pulse again to see if there’s anything else wrong?"

On hearing this, the Doctor immediately nodded, "Alright."

Feng Jinglei hadn’t recovered her senses, thinking that by mentioning these symptoms, the Doctor would assume it was a cold and wouldn’t check her pulse.

"There’s really no need..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the Doctor had already taken her right wrist, and Feng Jinglei immediately froze like a statue.

She didn’t dare to pull her hand away, because if she acted strangely, it would only arouse more suspicion.

Doctor Lin carefully took her pulse. After about five or six seconds, an unusual expression surfaced on his originally gentle face.

Feng Jinglei, already tense, naturally noticed this change, her heart skipping a beat.

The Doctor’s expression was serious. Instead of being pleased as he might be with most people upon finding such a pulse, he was staring at Feng Jinglei in disbelief.

The more he behaved like this, the more guilty and anxious Feng Jinglei felt.

"Miss Feng, you..."

"Oh, Doctor!" As the Doctor was about to speak, Feng Jinglei suddenly stood up.

Zhuang Yanyan and the Doctor were taken aback by her sudden reaction.

"Well, I... I have a private matter I’d like to consult with you about." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

After speaking, she glanced nervously at Zhuang Yanyan, then whispered to the Doctor, "Please come upstairs with me. There are too many people here; it’s... it’s about a woman’s issue."

Zhuang Yanyan watched the two, baffled. Qin Feimo, standing at the corridor on the second floor, slightly furrowed his brows because of Feng Jinglei’s sudden panic and nervousness.

Seeing them go upstairs, Zhuang Yanyan, concerned about Feng Jinglei, also wanted to follow, but was stopped, "Grandma, I... I have some personal matters to discuss with Doctor Lin."

Implying that it’s not convenient for you to come up.

Zhuang Yanyan was bewildered.

This child, ever since entering the Commander Residence, had never hidden anything from her.

And as a doctor, having understood her pulse, he naturally knew why she had asked to speak privately upstairs.

Does she not want the old lady and family to know about this?

"Madam, perhaps Miss Feng is feeling shy; maybe you could wait downstairs."

After saying this, he went upstairs with Feng Jinglei.

Standing in front of the sofa, watching the two backs heading upstairs, Zhuang Yanyan was puzzled.

This child, even if it’s a woman’s matter, doesn’t need to be shy in front of an old woman like me, right?

But curious as she was, Zhuang Yanyan understood the importance of respecting others and patiently waited on the sofa.

As they reached the third floor, Feng Jinglei almost instantly pulled Doctor Lin into the room. Before closing the door, she looked around the hallway to ensure no one was coming, and only then did she feel safe enough to close the door.

Seeing her nervous appearance, the Doctor was stunned for a few seconds.

Then he softly inquired, "Miss Feng, are you pregnant?"
