After a wealthy woman went bankrupt, her live-in husband became her sugar daddy.

Chapter 223 Proving Innocence

Zhao Ning walked into the venue with a determined look on his face. The male model who used to get nervous even watching a live stream on his phone could now remain composed and confident in the face of so many flashing lights.

"Momo is my girlfriend, and she's four months pregnant. The child is mine! A real man takes responsibility for his actions. Momo, I can support you, so why should you wrong yourself? Are you being threatened by him?"

Upon hearing this, the reporter realized it was a shocking revelation.

Whether Zhao Ning's words are true or false, it is entirely beneficial to the media.

A group of reporters swarmed around Zhao Ning, while another group blocked my way.

I have no way of questioning Zhao Ning about what he's doing today.

"Miss Gu, is what Mr. Zhao said true? So, does that mean you're two-timing?"

"President Jiang, what's it like to go from having a mistress to becoming a mistress yourself?"

"Ms. Gu, have you really been threatened by President Jiang?"

"President Jiang, you hold a high position of power. Did you really put pressure on Mr. Zhao? As far as I know, Mr. Zhao seems to be just an employee in President Jiang's company."

Seeing that the reporters were making things more and more serious, I was afraid that if we didn't speak up, the media would portray us as having a guilty conscience.

"I believe in Momo."

Seeing that I was speechless and unable to explain myself, Jiang Yichen pulled me into his arms and pressured the reporter with an unquestionable tone.

"What I just said still stands. If any media outlet or individual dares to spread rumors after today, the Jiang family will absolutely not let them off the hook!"

After he finished speaking, all the reporters fell silent, because no one wanted to lose their secure job.

“And you, Zhao Ning.” Jiang Yichen’s gaze fell on the man not far away. “This is Jiang family territory. I respect your courage, but now I am formally filing a lawsuit against you in the name of Gu Mo’s fiancé. You can get lost.”

After saying that, the sensible security guard immediately escorted the person out.

Jiang Yichen looked displeased, and the press conference had to be adjourned, with Lin Nan to take charge of the follow-up arrangements.

"Momo, what's wrong?"

Jiang Yichen noticed that my complexion was not good.

Indeed, my stomach started to ache as soon as Zhao Ning came in and disrupted the press conference. The aggressive manner of the reporters was still fresh in my mind.

I was in so much pain that I had to bend over and couldn't say a word.

"Call 120 immediately!"

Jiang Yichen picked me up horizontally, fearing that something might happen to me, and rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible.

As I was being wheeled into the examination room, Jiang Yichen gripped my hand tightly. He, who had remained calm even when besieged by reporters, was now drenched in sweat.

"Momo. It's okay, relax."

Fortunately, the check-up went smoothly. The doctor said that I had too many emotional fluctuations, and the first trimester of pregnancy is when one is most easily affected by emotions.

Furthermore, due to a lack of attention to diet during pregnancy, the fetus experienced some developmental problems, and it will be necessary to catch up on nutrition later.

Hearing the doctor say that, I finally felt relieved.

There's only one urine test left. The report will be out soon after I submit the sample.

When I came back to find Jiang Yichen, I discovered that he had somehow run into the doctor's office.

"I'd like to ask when I can have an amniocentesis?"

My hand, which was about to knock on the door to interrupt them, froze in mid-air.

Amniocentesis... is used to test a child's DNA.

"This can only be done after the second trimester. Miss Gu's first pregnancy is quite special, and she must be very careful with her diet..."

I didn't hear what the doctor said after that.

From the time I returned from the press conference until the end of the inspection, Jiang Yichen never mentioned Zhao Ning to me. I thought he trusted me completely.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ning's words still had an impact on him.

I sat on a chair outside, taking deep breaths to force myself to calm down. I bit my lip hard, my whole body trembling as I tried to hold back my tears.

My relationship with Jiang Yichen has finally stabilized, so it's inevitable that we lack trust. If we argue about this, it will only make things worse.

When Jiang Yichen and the doctor came out, I had already pretended to be nonchalant and sat down in a chair to start scrolling through my phone.

"Miss Gu," the doctor greeted her.

I handed him the report.

Jiang Yichen seemed a little guilty and tentatively asked, "When did you finish the checkup?"

I said casually, "I just got the test results and was just about to call you to ask where you are."

"The report is fine. Just remember the points I told you. Make sure to pay attention to them when you get back."

My head was foggy and my memory was a bit fuzzy. I was just about to ask the doctor to emphasize it to me again when Jiang Yichen pulled me away.

"The doctor just told me everything, so don't worry. I will strictly follow the instructions and won't let anything happen to you or the baby again."

"Jiang Yichen." I stopped in my tracks. "Don't you have any questions for me about what happened today?"

Jiang Yichen glanced at me and said without hesitation, "I'm confident enough. Zhao Ning isn't even as good as one of my fingers, so what do I have to worry about?"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes. This man is really arrogant.

However, given Jiang Yichen's personality, if he really had any doubts, he wouldn't tell me; he would find the answers himself.

"Momo, what's wrong? Are you still feeling unwell? Why do you look so pale?"

Although Jiang Yichen was driving, his eyes were practically glued to me, constantly asking me what was wrong.

I got annoyed by the questions and made up an excuse: "I'm just a little tired, you should focus on driving."

We made our way back to the Jiang family home.

Jiang Yichen can now carry me around in his arms, big and small, without caring about other people's complicated looks. But I can't.

But I couldn't go against his wishes.

He could only escort her all the way to her bed.

As soon as he put me down, Jiang Yichen was about to leave, and I instinctively grabbed his sleeve.

"I still have some work to do, you should rest for a while."

Jiang Yichen tucked my outstretched hand back into the cup and placed a kiss on my forehead.

I didn't say anything, I just stared blankly at his departing figure.

Jiang Yichen must be suspicious of me; his attitude wouldn't be so cold for no reason.

It's a strange feeling, like watching something you cherish slowly slip away, and being powerless to stop it.

Just as things were getting tense, the phone rang. It was Zhao Ning, the culprit of the day.

"Momo, I really like you. Every word I said today came from the bottom of my heart. You haven't come to the company these past few days, and I've been missing you so much I'm going crazy. Can you give me another chance? I promise I'll treat you a thousand times better than Jiang Yichen."

I initially didn't want to pay attention to it, but then I thought about Jiang Yichen's attitude.

Why not make good use of Zhao Ning to prove your innocence?
