Chapter 454: Once an All-Consuming Love, Now Just a Simple "Long Time No See"
Shengde Hospital is a private hospital that offers better privacy protection for its patients than most other private hospitals. However, due to his special status, Ouyang Hao was still very cautious about his appearance.
Today, he was dressed in a black Adidas tracksuit and wore a white baseball cap. The cap and sunglasses covered most of his face, making it difficult for the average person to recognize him.
However, his tall stature and distinguished aura still attracted many eyes. He always stood out, no matter how much he tried to hide himself.
But he no longer belonged to her.
Lin Yixun didn’t know why he would appear here, but no matter the reason, it didn’t matter to her anymore. She no longer had the right or position to care about anything regarding Ouyang Hao.
She bitterly tugged at the corners of her mouth, awkwardly moving her feet, trying to turn and leave. But just then, Ouyang Hao, as if he could feel her gaze, subconsciously turned his head.
He saw her.
Their eyes met in midair. Although only ten meters apart, it felt like an insurmountable chasm of thousands of mountains and rivers.
Standing behind Lin Yixun, Leng Yixiu clearly felt her back stiffen. Even though he couldn’t see her face, he could sense her emotions at that moment.
He didn’t rush her to leave, leaving the decision to her.
Ouyang Hao’s gaze paused on Lin Yixun’s small face and then fell on her slightly rounded belly. Through the sunglasses, Lin Yixun couldn’t see his expression, but she felt a sharp pain in her heart.
Even though she had already accepted the presence of this child, she still didn’t want Ouyang Hao to see her like this. They had broken up only a few months ago, and she was already pregnant with Leng Yixiu’s child. What would Ouyang Hao think of her? Would he see her as fickle and unfaithful?
The air seemed to freeze suddenly; even breathing became difficult. Lin Yixun lowered her gaze sadly; she couldn’t face Ouyang Hao calmly in this state.
She wanted to leave, but then Ouyang Hao smiled sensually as he walked toward them, greeting her graciously.
"So you’re here too, long time no see."
Ouyang Hao’s handsome face wore a charming smile, and even through the sunglasses, she could imagine his eyes shining brighter than the stars in the night sky.
But Lin Yixun couldn’t smile no matter how hard she tried; she felt only immense sorrow. An all-consuming love ultimately only exchanged for a "long time no see."
Her chest felt like it was stifled by a stone, causing a dull ache. Lin Yixun opened her mouth, struggling for a long time to find her voice. She forced a smile and whispered, "Yes, long time no see."
Ouyang Hao’s gaze fell on her slightly swollen belly as he asked, "Are you here for a prenatal checkup?"
His tone was so natural, as if asking an old friend, without a trace of difference. Still, every word felt like a sharp needle deeply piercing Lin Yixun’s heart.
Lin Yixun nodded, unable to continue the conversation.
The atmosphere became somewhat stagnant, and Lin Yixun sadly realized that she and Ouyang Hao had somehow reached a point of having nothing to say to each other.
She thought for a moment and then asked nonchalantly, "You... why are you here at Shengde?"
Sometimes Lin Yixun despised herself. She obviously cared about why Ouyang Hao was at the obstetrics and gynecology department but instead asked why he was at Shengde in a roundabout way.
She was a coward, preferring self-deception, even a bit hypocritical. Although she had completely severed ties with Ouyang Hao, she was still afraid of getting the obvious answer.
"Me? I’m also..." Ouyang Hao hadn’t finished his sentence when a girl in a white Adidas tracksuit emerged from the obstetrics and gynecology department, holding a prenatal checkup sheet.
The girl came to Ouyang Hao’s side, naturally linked her arm with his, and whispered, "The doctor said the baby is very healthy."
Ouyang Hao looked down at the girl, smiling, "That’s good."
Their intimate interaction made it clear to anyone with eyes that they were a couple deeply in love.
The sight felt like a stab to Lin Yixun’s heart. She had seen this girl before, recently in a newspaper.
From their conversation, it wasn’t hard to deduce that the girl was also pregnant, and given her relationship with Ouyang Hao, it was evident who the baby’s father was.
Bitterness filled Lin Yixun’s mouth. She had reluctantly become pregnant with Leng Yixiu’s child, while Ouyang Hao had also fathered a child with another woman.
She and Ouyang Hao were ultimately going their separate ways, drifting further apart.
The girl was too engrossed in sharing the baby’s good news with Ouyang Hao and only noticed the two people standing opposite much later. She furrowed her brows slightly and blinked her bright eyes.
"Hao, are they friends of yours?"
Ouyang Hao’s thin lips curled slightly in a meaningful smile, "Sort of. This is President Leng of Leng Group, and beside him is his girlfriend, Miss Lin."
The girl’s bright eyes blinked, then she smiled apologetically at Lin Yixun, "I’m sorry, I was so busy talking to Hao that I neglected you. My name is Tang Wan; it’s nice to meet you."
The girl seemed unaware of the animosity between them, warmly addressing Lin Yixun, "How far along is your baby, Miss Lin?"
Lin Yixun’s face stiffened as she mumbled, "Six months."
"Oh, already six months! You can’t even tell, I thought it was only four months. I envy you, not showing much and still in good shape. They say if you don’t show much, you won’t have stretch marks. When I think of you and then of myself, I feel so stressed. I’m only two months along and have already gained about seven or eight pounds. I can’t imagine how much worse it will be when I’m further along."
"Don’t worry about it; no matter how you change, I won’t mind," Ouyang Hao laughed.
"You better not!"
"Yes, yes, I won’t, and I dare not," Ouyang Hao said with a smile.
Their intimate banter made Lin Yixun’s heart ache even more. She forced a smile and spoke to Tang Wan, "Miss Tang, Mr. Ouyang, I have something to take care of; I’ll be going now."
"I was just thinking of having a meal together, but if you have things to do, I won’t insist," Ouyang Hao smiled, then turned to Leng Yixiu, "President Leng, until next time."
