Praying For Fate Chapter 10 Part1

The next day BeiTang MinQian had a meeting to attend. It was very late when he returned so Su YuanHeng didn't prepare dinner.

He (Su YuanHeng) drowily slept till six in the evening. When he woke up, he felt weak and his belly heavy. It was probably due to the heater being turned on too high leading to his entire body sweating.

It is not advisable for a pregnant person to bathe all the time. BeiTang MinQian does not feel at ease with him doing it so he'd always insist on helping him. Su YuanHeng is one that loves cleanliness and would feel uncomfortable if he didn't bathe every day. Sometimes when BeiTang MinQian is not at home, he would secretly take a shower.

Now that he had just woken up and was sweating profusely, he strenuously got up and wobbled to the bathroom.

Because his belly is so big and his movements can be clumsy, Su YuanHeng was extremely careful when taking a bath. Recently his belly got so much bigger at a faster pace that it seemed as if air was blown in. When Qin Su was here last month, Su YuanHeng could still hide his belly with loose clothes. In fact, looking at his back profile, it was not noticeable. But if Qin Su is here now, he would jump in shock upon seeing his belly.

He took a shower and carefully got out of the bathtub while leaning against the wall and holding a towel to dry his body. Through the misty mirror, he could see the stretch marks on his belly. It looked really unsightly.

Su YuanHeng's mood was complex. Thinking of BeiTang MinQian kissing his belly, he felt a sense of shame and disgust.

He strenuously bent down in trying to wipe the drops of water from his legs. Perhaps it was because he was being absentminded; he couldn't remember how he could have carelessly fell on the mat on top of the tile floor even after it had happened.

When he regained his senses, he had already fallen on the cold ground.

This fall is severe. His belly heavily slammed onto the ground. It was so painful that he screamed.

Su YuanHeng almost subconsciously shielded his belly. Curly up slightly, he took a deep breath and prayed that the baby is fine. But the sharp piercing pains that came less than a minute later dispelled his wishful thinking.

“Ahhhhhh ─ ─”

The severe pain made him cry out again.

Su YuanHeng's body trembled. His fingers gripped onto the sink to stand up but just as he was holding his body up, is belly gave out a burst of severe pain.

This kind of severe pain is different from the long to short contractions before labor; the gap here is short, but compressed and intense.

Su YuanHeng knew that this fall will lead to the premature birth of his child.

This situation is extremely dangerous; adding on the baby is making a lot of sharp movements. He felt excruciating pain filled with anxiety. He struggled to stand up, but he had no energy. His legs got soft and the burst of pain in his belly made him unable to breathe.

Sticky warm liquid flowed out from his lower body. Trembling, Su YuanHeng reached down to touch it and sees red blood on his hand.

Gritting his teeth, he tried to move but he still couldn't stand up. Earlier when his left foot hit the bathtub, his ankle got injured and couldn't exert any strength. With no other option, he could only use both of his hands to slowly drag himself out of the bathroom.

“Ah … ah … ah …”

He hugged his belly with one hand while he squeezed the door with his other hand. The distance is usually two short steps but it took him ten minutes

His forehead is full of cold sweat. Su YuanHeng lied on the bathroom doorway, looking at the bedside table; his cell phone is in the drawer.

He endured the pain while drenched in sweat as he struggled over to the bed, leaving behind a streak of bloodstain.

Cell phone … cell phone … ahhhhhh ─ ─ 

Su YuanHeng leaned on the edge of the bed, panting and sweating with blood in between his legs.

“Uh -”

His belly became rigid and once again came a surge of indescribable pain.

Su YuanHeng turned his head and opened his mouth to tightly bite the bed sheet on the side of the bed, one of his hand clasped on the edge of the bed, the other hand gripped onto the carpet beneath him.

After this intense pain subsided, he gasped and stretched out his trembling arm to open the drawer from the nightstand. In this moment, he was only glad that the cell phone was in the drawer next to the bathroom. If it was on the other side … he really could not imagine it.

The drawers were flipped over and the things inside collided with each other. From the sound it was making, one can hear the anxiety of the owner.

“Oh, ah……”

Su YuanHeng once again leaned back on the edge of the bed and couldn't help but sat up with the pain. His bulging belly raised and twitched.

Su YuanHeng was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely. Once again, he gritted his teeth and continued to rummage through the drawer.

Finally, he found the phone. Su YuanHeng's trembling hand attempted to turn on the phone.

But after a while, he hopelessly threw the phone away.

Because BeiTang MinQian was afraid of the radiation, he had long banned Su YuanHeng from using electrical devices such as computers and cell phones. So now, because the cell phone has been turned off for too long, the battery is dead.

Su YuanHeng closed his eyes; trembling as he pulled out the bedsheets from the bed to wrap it around his nude body. His mind desperately tried to think of what he could do.

BeiTang MinQian suddenly felt terrified and restless during the latter half of his meeting.

The finance manager's report is so long that he wanted to beat the c.r.a.p out of someone. How did this kind of people get into the company? And to actually promote to the position of a section chief? Was the Board blind?

BeiTang MinQian's mind wandered off as he stared as the finance manager with contempt. After this manager was finished reporting, BeiTang MinQian's immediately grilled him with a few critical issues. The inquiry was fierce, making the face of this forty something year old employee who relied on nepotism to get into the company paled and his forehead sweating profusely.

BeiTang MinQian's expression was chilling and his eyes piercing as he looked out at the other people in the conference room. Then, his hand slammed on the table, “There are still people from the BeiTang family here. Double check the work that you do."

“I don't care what relationship you used in the past to get into this company. If you don't have the ability, don't occupy the position. There are no shortages of talents in this world. Go back and figure out what it is that you need to understand and then come back and report to me again.” Having said that, he stood up and coldly said, “Meeting adjourned.”

When everyone saw that this tall and handsome figure that was emitting such huge amount of pressure disappear from the conference room, they all felt a sense of relief as they loosen their tie and exhaled.

This newly appointed president is indeed the successor of the BeiTang family. His imposing manner is too frightening.

When BeiTang MinQian returned to his office, his heart suddenly felt oddly anxious. He picked up the phone and dialed home.

The phone rang for a full five minutes but n.o.body answered.

His heart sank; looking at the watch on his wrist, it was already past eight in the evening. At this time, Su YuanHeng would never leave the house. Even if he was sleeping, he would have awakened with the phone ringing for so long.

BeiTang MinQian stood up, grabbed the coat from the coat hanger and rushed out of the office.

At this same time, Siva came toward him with doc.u.ments. He started chasing behind him exclaiming, “The data for the meeting has not yet been finalized. You'll have to work overtime tonight to get it finalized.”

“Let's talk tomorrow.”

BeiTang MinQian rushed toward the elevator, got in and closed it with Siva still standing outside. He headed down to the second level of the parking garage, got into his car and raced out toward the outskirts of the city.

A commute that normally takes him 30 mins to get home took him 15 minutes.

BeiTang MinQian rushed into the elevator. While waiting for it to go up, he kept dialing the phone but there was still no answer. This made him even more worried. When he thought of Su YuanHeng being home alone so close to the delivery date, he could not help but be upset with himself for not finding someone to take care of him.

After the elevator opened, he bolted to the door and pulled out his keys to open the door. He was shocked by the scene immediately in front of him.

Su YuanHeng was lying on the floor in the living room, the bedsheets sloppily wrapped around his body, one of his hand holding his belly, the other stretched out toward the direction of the phone on the coffee table. He laid there motionless; his lower body was a mess with bright red blood mixed with the cloudy amniotic fluid that zigzagged from the bedroom to the living room.

"YuanHeng──"

BeiTang MinQian was terror-stricken. He rushed over but when he got close, he was almost afraid to move him because his Su YuanHeng's condition looked too frightening.

"YuanHeng, what happened?" BeiTang MinQian's hands trembled as he carefully hugged him.

"Grrrr…….”Su YuanHeng uttered a low moan as he opened his blurred eyes and weakly said, "Qian……I fell in the bathroom, fell……baby……Qian.”

“I'm here, I'm here. YuanHeng, don't scare me. I'm taking you to the hospital immediately,” BeiTang MinQian's voice shuddered.

Su YuanHeng weakly closed his eyes and leaned into his arms.

From the time he fell to now, it had been more than an hour. He's lost his strength and had excessive blood loss. This psychological stress coupled with intense pain almost made him collapse. He didn't know how he crawled from the bedroom to here. The phone had been ringing. He called out MinQian's name to give himself some strength but when he got near the couch, he finally couldn't take it anymore and fainted.

"YuanHeng, YuanHeng. You have to hold on! Must hold on! ”

BeiTang MinQian quickly grabbed a jacket to wrap it around him. Then he carried him bridal style.
