When the marriage partner is my mortal enemy, I am scared

Chapter 154 Return the favor

"I'm not feeling well. I can't go."

"Uncomfortable? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

"I can't go. I just can't go. Hang up!"

After Chu He hung up the phone, she sighed weakly and splashed a handful of cold water on her face.

Meng Qi was stunned watching from the side.

"Look at your attitude. Your relationship is still at the same level."

Hearing this, Chu He turned her head and said simply, "Well, stay where you are! No progress!"

After saying this, she scoffed inwardly. She had been quite attracted to his abs. But who asked Xiao Cheng to come up with this half-naked scene of appearing at the handsome man's house to disgust her?

Meng Qi narrowed his eyes at her, then suddenly opened his mouth. "How about I go to the hospital with you later?"

"Need not."

After saying that, Chu He took out a tissue, wiped the water stains on her face, wiped the lipstick on her lips with her fingers, wiped her hands, and threw the paper into the trash can.

He turned to leave, but was grabbed by Meng Qi.

Chu He turned around and looked at her. "What?"

Meng Qi looked gossipy as he glanced around the bathroom and whispered in her ear.

"You're not, are you pregnant?"

Chu He hummed and rolled her eyes at him. Turning her head to look at herself in the mirror, she saw that her face was indeed not looking good. She raised her hand and patted her face, saying, "Pregnant..." Meng Qi's eyes lit up, and the next second she said, "It's impossible to get pregnant! What are you thinking? Am I that kind of person?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked away, leaving Meng Qi with a disappointed look on his face.

As soon as I returned to the studio, my phone rang again.

Huo Yuchuan?

Ever since the last hot search, Huo Yuchuan hasn't contacted her, and she hasn't had the chance to thank him.

I pressed the answer button and heard a faint voice from the other end. "Are you free tonight?"

"Is something wrong?"

The other side chuckled and said, "Well, I heard from Meng Qi that your gallery will hold a traveling art exhibition soon?"

"Yes, it's already being planned."

"I'd like to invite you to a dinner tonight. Although the organizers are from the financial community, we've also invited several art collectors and philanthropists from Europe and North America. This might be helpful for your gallery's overseas business expansion."

Chu He hesitated for a moment. She actually didn't want to go. She wasn't in good shape today, and attending such a formal occasion and having to go through the trouble of dressing up was tiring just thinking about it.

Just as she was about to refuse, a considerate man's voice came from the receiver: "It's okay if you don't want to go. Not everyone brings a female companion. Don't forget to treat me to a meal when you have time. You promised."

"Um, please send me the time and place. Just consider it a thank you for the trending search. I haven't apologized to you yet. I got you into trouble last time."

"Okay, I'll send you a message and I'll pick you up later."

After hanging up the phone, Chu He slumped down in the leather chair, took out a makeup mirror from the drawer, looked at her pale face and sighed.

Meng Qi followed in, holding a paper bag in his hand.

"I had someone buy you some hot soy milk. Maybe drinking some will help. After you finish it, I'll go to the hospital with you. A checkup will put your mind at ease."

As he said that, he took out the soy milk and pushed it in front of her.

Chu He blinked, a look of gratitude on her face.

"My best friend loves me the most. I won't go to the hospital anymore. I have to attend a dinner party tonight."

"Dinner party? With whom?"

"Huo Yuchuan. He said there's an art collector who might be able to help our gallery."

"You're in such a bad state, are you sure you want to go?"

Chu He smiled bitterly, "After all, I owe him a favor for the trending search, so I feel embarrassed to refuse."

"Didn't Qin Jin say that Xiao Cheng took care of your trending search? You're doing Huo Yuchuan a favor by being his female companion. It's best not to let Xiao Cheng know."

"He has a meeting tonight and is busy."
