Chapter 981 - Pregnant (2)
“Is there some kind of issue?” Mu Tangchuan sipped his drink and asked.
Mu Yuchen took a deep breath and emptied his cup. “It’s still alright. It’s only about either Xiaye or Lingshi. I’m worried that Gu Qiwu will reach out to them someday.”
“It’ll come eventually and we have no control over it. We should probably stop talking about these miserable topics since we don’t usually have a meal together. Drink up!”
Mu Tangchuan did not want to talk about these afflicted events, so he quickly changed the topic when he noticed that Mu Yuchen did not seem very happy.
Mu Yuchen nodded. “Alright, we won’t talk about it then.”
They then drank a little and enjoyed their meal quietly.
The father-son duo took a stroll on the streets after lunch. They walked past a row of trees when Mu Tangchuan suddenly said, “Ah Chen, it’s really fine that you tried your best. There will be things in life that you won’t be able to control. Just do your best and have no regrets. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“Yes, Father, I’ll keep that in mind,” Mu Yuchen said humbly.
“I’m really not sure if I should be relieved or worried about you.”
“Just focus on Mother. Your son has already grown up and there’s no need for you to worry. I might not have understood how you feel before, but after being a father of two sons, I now understand that the love and care from both you and Mother came from here, and that’s more than enough for me.” Mu Yuchen pointed at his chest.
Mu Tangchuan was glad. “It’s great that you understand. You seem pretty tired recently. Take a break and relax. Alright, it’s time for me to head back. I have a meeting to rush to later.”
Mu Yuchen nodded as he stopped and waved for Mu Tangchuan’s car to quickly come over. Then, he opened the door for Mu Tangchuan respectfully.
“Come home with your wife if you have the time. It feels a little lonely at home without your grandparents around,” Mu Tangchuan said before getting into the car.
Mu Yuchen nodded. “Noted!”
…
In the hospital, Xi Xiaye, who was going through some documents, never expected Zhuang Shurong and Mu Lingshi to visit her at the same time.
“Mother, you’re already busy enough at work. Why did you take the time to come here? The doctor said I’m fine and I can go home tomorrow. It’s really troublesome to come over,” said Xi Xiaye as she sat on her bed while Zhuang Shurong got her a glass of water.
“I freed up some time lately. Hiding such a severe injury from us isn’t a good idea. Let’s hope that there’ll be no scars. Ah Mo briefly told me what happened. Qi Feng is a really cruel person. The two of you need to be careful from now on. Remember to have the bodyguards around whenever you head out,” Zhuang Shurong reminded.
“Don’t worry, Mother. This is just an accident. We’ll be more careful in the future. By the way, Ah Shi, how’s work? Are you getting used to it?” Xi Xiaye did not want to continue the topic. She knew that Mu Yuchen had some plans and did not want to interfere since she believed in him.
“Don’t worry, Sister-in-law. I’m getting used to it, and—”
As Mu Lingshi was about to eat some snacks, she suddenly felt an urge to vomit when the snack was right beside her mouth. She quickly grabbed the litter bin and started to puke.
Xi Xiaye and Zhuang Shurong looked at her oddly, clearly worried. “Ah Shi, what’s wrong?”
Mu Lingshi’s expression seemed pale. She grabbed some tissues to clean her mouth after her retching. “I’m not sure either. I’ve been feeling like this since this morning. I think I might’ve eaten something bad.”
“This morning?”
Xi Xiaye looked at Zhuang Shurong and noticed the light that swiftly flashed in her eyes. They were probably thinking about the same thing. She smiled mischievously. “It seems like we’re going to have good news soon. Mother, maybe you should bring Lingshi to get a check-up at the gynecology department.”
Xi Xiaye was experienced, and she instantly remembered the joyful period of time when she was pregnant with Mu Xiaocheng.
Zhuang Shurong nodded and smiled. “It’s about time. Your grandparents have been looking forward to it.”
Mu Lingshi seemed to have noticed something when she heard their conversation, so she quickly covered her flat stomach.
“Mother, Sister-in-law, are you’re saying that I…?” Mu Lingshi was dumbfounded.
“Go and get a check-up right now. I’m pretty much certain that’s the case. I had similar reactions as you when I was pregnant with Xiao Cheng too. Mother, could you go with Ah Shi?” Xi Xiaye smiled.
Zhuang Shurong stood up and walked towards Mu Lingshi. “Let’s go. It should be good news!”
“Mother…” Mu Lingshi found it difficult to believe.
Was she really pregnant with Ah Mo’s child? That was fast!
“We will find out after a check-up. It’s been a long time since you got together with Ah Mo, and we’ve been looking forward to this!” Zhuang Shurong’s expression softened. It seemed like she was relieved.
If Mu Lingshi and Ah Mo really had a child together, it would be another new addition to their family, and this was extremely important to both of them.
“Go and get a check-up. It won’t take long!” Xi Xiaye urged Mu Lingshi as she seemed hesitant.
“Oh, okay, Mother…”
“I’ll go with you! Let’s go!” Zhuang Shurong grinned as she held Mu Lingshi. She turned over and looked at Xi Xiaye. “We’ll be back in a bit.”
Xi Xiaye nodded with a smile. “Sure, quickly go now!”
The two of them left Xi Xiaye’s room. Xi Xiaye let out a sigh of relief after they left. Hopefully, things would stay like this. Simple peace could be happiness on its own.
