Hot and Humid?!
Xin Yu was startled!
Why did she feel this way?
She hadn't done anything!
And why was she getting dizzier?!
The world spun around her…
Then, she lost consciousness.
"Ayu?!" Mu Yichuan was also startled. He only wanted to tease her, why?!
When he picked her up, he discovered she was bleeding!
Carrying Xin Yu, Mu Yichuan rushed out of the Mu Group building at top speed!
Everyone he saw along the way stared in shock at first, then quickly pretended to be nonchalant and went about their work.
But everyone was thinking the same thing, asking the same question!
"Who is the woman their CEO is holding?!"
"Isn't he supposed to be averse to women? He doesn't even have a female secretary!"
…
When Qiu Zhi's office door was kicked open, he felt a chill run down his spine, wishing he could skin the person who entered alive! But when he saw Mu Yichuan… holding Xin Yu, he was shocked!
When he saw that Xin Yu was unconscious, he almost didn't know what to do!
"A-Zhi, what are you standing there for!" Mu Yichuan shouted, pulling Qiu Zhi back from his daze.
"What happened to her?"
This brat! Is she sick?!
Why does she always come to the hospital?!
From now on, I'll definitely put up a sign at the hospital entrance—No Xin Yu Allowed!
"She suddenly fainted."
Suddenly…fainted?!
Couldn't there have been some warning signs?
When Qiu Zhi saw the blood on a certain spot, his peach blossom eyes visibly twitched.
But he said nothing, adopting the persona of a doctor, fulfilling his duty!
He focused on examining her.
"Ninth Brother, it's just a woman's monthly routine."
Mu Yichuan frowned, looking at Xin Yu, who had been dressed by the nurse on the hospital bed, noticeably pale.
Monthly routine? Why did she suddenly become dizzy and lose consciousness?
"Ah Zhi, is she unable to withstand the drug?"
...!
Qiu Zhi paused, his peach blossom eyes fixed on the still-sleeping Xin Yu.
"Who!"
Suddenly, Mu Yichuan roared, striding out of the ward and grabbing the person outside.
Nan Yu?!
His brows furrowed even more, his dark eyes coldly fixed on Nan Yu, his tone chilling as he asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Naturally, I have something to discuss with Dr. Qiu," Nan Yu replied coolly, his eyes calm and unwavering.
"What did you just hear?" Mu Yichuan shoved Nan Yu against the wall, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
"What do you think, Mr. Jiu?" Nan Yu showed no fear, his coldness only intensifying.
A mocking smile played on his lips. "If Xin Yu knew you secretly gave her some kind of drug, would she still be like this?"
What would she be like now?
Would she like him? Be jealous of him? Always at his beck and call?
Infinite intimacy with him?
Thinking this, Mu Yichuan's grip tightened, his dark eyes like they'd been drawn from Arctic ice water, brimming with immense coldness, like a demon from hell.
Taking lives, taking souls…
"Ninth Brother!" Qiu Zhi pulled Mu Yichuan back to his senses.
"If you have the guts, kill me." Nan Yu provoked Mu Yichuan with his words, the coldness in his eyes like the scars on his face, unforgettable.
"As you wish!" Mu Yichuan sneered. Who had he ever feared? A mere brat, three years younger than him, dared to threaten him!
"Ninth Brother, he's not worth it!" Qiu Zhi glanced at Xin Yu on the hospital bed, reaching out to grab Mu Yichuan. "Nan Yu, do you know why Xin Yu came to see me this afternoon?"
"To give her the antidote?" Nan Yu relentlessly mocked.
A cold glint flashed in Qiu Zhi's peach blossom eyes. "She asked me to treat your scars."
Nan Yu froze instantly, staring at Qiu Zhi in shock, wanting to confirm the truth of his words!
Xin Yu actually asked him to help treat her scars?
"Don't look at me like that. You've been getting close to Xin Yu all this time. Do we need to tell you how kind she is?!"
"You know she's kind!" Nan Yu questioned.
Knowing Xin Yu is kind, why did you give her that medicine?!
"That's not your business!" Mu Yichuan tightened his grip, speaking coldly.
"What you need to do now is not to hurt her," Qiu Zhi added.
Nan Yu sneered, "Not to hurt her? Then what are you doing?!"
"You don't need to worry about it!" Mu Yichuan's voice was like an ancient sword drawn from its sheath, seemingly capable of cleaving a person in two instantly. "I don't care? Then what right do you have to demand I do such a despicable thing!"
"Because Xin Yu likes Ninth Brother." Qiu Zhi's tone held a subtle, almost imperceptible sadness, which he himself didn't even notice.
Because she likes Mu Yichuan!
"Ha, this is how you trample on her feelings!"
"Shut up." Mu Yichuan uttered two chilling words, then withdrew his hand, his dark eyes devoid of any color. "If Xin Yu knows what happened today, the Nan family will cease to exist."
Nan Yu froze, watching Mu Yichuan's stern figure walk into the room.
He closed the door, sat by the hospital bed, picked up Xin Yu's small hand, and caressed the ring on her left hand.
Trampling on her feelings?
Before he met her, he had indeed thought that.
But the first time he received her file, when he saw her eyes, he had already banished that thought from his world…
When Xin Yu woke up, all she saw was white.
Ha…
It really proves the saying—don't speak carelessly.
Last time she wanted to be hospitalized, and today her dream came true.
Tilting her head, she saw Mu Yichuan lying beside her with his eyes closed.
And… holding her hand.
"Mu… Yichuan." His voice was noticeably hoarse.
Good heavens, had she slept for a long time?
Mu Yichuan suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and looked at Xin Yu. Their eyes met, and they remained silent for a long time.
"I… slept for a long time?" Why was he looking at her like that?
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm not… trying to spite you." Xin Yu continued to explain. She also found it strange. She hadn't felt unwell all day, so how could she have fainted after being kissed like that?
You know, even when he did that all night before… she never fainted!
This time was really strange! Seeing Mu Yichuan remain silent, Xin Yu frowned slightly. "I might have low blood sugar or a bruise in my lower back..."
He leaned forward and kissed Xin Yu, his hand gently cradling the back of her head.
"Mmm..." Was he crazy? She had just woken up; what if she fainted again?
Besides, he hadn't shaved in days, and it was prickly on her skin.
Xin Yu looked at Mu Yichuan with a wronged expression, raising her hand to touch his chin. "I haven't been unconscious for many days, have I? What's the date today?"
"Where do you feel unwell?" He didn't answer, observing Xin Yu's complexion. "I'll go call A-Zhi."
Xin Yu reached out and took Mu Yichuan's hand, shaking her head. "I'm fine, I feel quite energetic."
His eyes darkened as he helped Xin Yu sit up, his deep gaze fixed on her.
His little girl had been unconscious for three days and three nights! "You've been here with me the whole time?" Xin Yu blinked her clear eyes. "By the way, what happened to me?"
She remembered bleeding!
Damn!
Could she have miscarried?
"I...I..." Xin Yu suddenly became very nervous. "It's all your fault, Mu Yichuan!"
What happened to taking precautions?!
She touched her stomach; her lower abdomen was flat, and she felt no discomfort.
"It's my fault," Mu Yichuan calmly admitted. He had indeed been suffering for the past three days, but!
"What did you say!" Xin Yu's eyelids twitched in shock. "I checked last time, I wasn't pregnant at all, how could I have miscarried?"
Mu Yichuan raised his eyes, a look of surprise flashing in them. What was this girl thinking?!
She actually...thought about their child?!
He sat down next to her and hugged her. "Think about it, you'll have one eventually."
But now wasn't the right time.
Xin Yu's eyes suddenly reddened. How could this be? The last test report clearly stated she wasn't pregnant. Was it a misdiagnosis?!
Isn't this hospital an international chain?
Isn't it the best hospital in Qing Dynasty?!
Knock, knock, knock.
Qiu Zhi knocked and entered.
Xin Yu, furious, grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. "Qiu Zhi! What kind of lousy hospital is this?!"
Qiu Zhi looked at her coldly. He was treating her, and she, upon waking, attacked him?!
With his arms crossed, he lazily said, "So much strength. Looks like you can leave my lousy hospital!"
What kind of attitude is this when he admits his mistake?!
"I'm going to sue you! You...you owe me compensation!"
"I haven't even received the medical fees yet!"
"Ayu," Mu Yichuan straightened Xin Yu's shoulders, "Alright, stop being so temperamental."
She wasn't being temperamental!
"He clearly misdiagnosed me first," Xin Yu's voice trembled, looking at Mu Yichuan with a wronged expression, "If that report hadn't said I wasn't pregnant, I..."
She would definitely convince herself to protect the child! Even though she was only 21!
Even though she was still a student!
But it was a life!
"Pregnant? Who said you were pregnant?!" Qiu Zhi, his charming eyes narrowed, looked at Xin Yu with a puzzled expression. "What? Is your brain still damaged from that fever?"
She didn't have a fever this time either!
Xin Yu stared, her dark eyes unblinking, looking at the serious Qiu Zhi, then at the silent Mu Yichuan!
Slap!
She slapped Mu Yichuan's arm. "Mu Yichuan, are you crazy? How can you tease me about a child!"
His brows furrowed into a deep frown.
"Get out. I don't want to see you right now." Xin Yu turned her head to look out the window, her body trembling with anger.
Qiu Zhi turned around, knocked on the door frame, and said to the nurse, "Process the discharge paperwork for this patient."
So strong!
She dared to hit Mu Yichuan! It was only because she was unconscious for three days that Mu Yichuan would have definitely thrown her out!
"Alright, I'm leaving. Looks like you don't need a follow-up checkup." Qiu Zhi's tone was full of sarcasm as he walked out, then poked his head back in. "Just to add, Miss Xin Yu, you're not pregnant, you're just on your period."
...!
Xin Yu blushed crimson, glaring angrily at the empty doorway.
She turned and went to the restroom, vowing never to speak to that bastard Mu Yichuan again!
"Ayu." He knocked on the door.
"Ignore me."
"Come out, let's go home." His tone was flat.
Hmph! Not a shred of remorse!
Xin Yu huffed and puffed as she followed Mu Yichuan out of the hospital.
"You want to get pregnant?" He blurted out without any preamble once they got in the car.
He dared to ask that question!
"No, I don't want to! Why would I want to!" Xin Yu glared at Mu Yichuan. She was only 21! "You're not allowed to touch me again!"
