Ye Cheng held onto the couch with all his might as he struggled to rise to his feet. He staggered a few steps forward before he turned back to look at Gao Wen. Finally, he hardened his heart and walked out. There was nothing he could do now.

At this moment, one of the helpers’ voice rang out. “Master, you’re home.”

Ye Cheng’s heart tightened immediately. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his father had just returned. If his father had returned a little earlier and overheard his mother’s confession earlier, he could not and did not want to imagine what kind of commotion it would cause.

Before Ye He could see him, he left using another entrance.

Although they were his parents, he really could not accept these things.

…

At this moment, Ye Xin lay on the operating table.

Lin Liang, who was standing at the side, gently said, “Miss, Mr. Mu wants you to reconsider this…”

Ye Xin turned to look at Lin Liang and smiled sweetly before she said, “Tell Mr. Mu that I won’t regret this, and I will complete my task perfectly.”

Lin Liang nodded. “Alright, I’ll convey your words to Mr. Mu. Please listen to the doctor’s arrangements. Mr. Mu has hired the best plastic surgeon in H Nation so you can rest assured.”

Ye Xin nodded. “Don’t worry. I trust Mr. Mu.”

Ye Xin looked at Lin Liang’s retreating back before she slowly closed her eyes.

‘Song Ning, our fates are too deeply intertwined. Since there’s no way of resolving this, let’s continue to pester each other until one of us dies.’

…

Song Ning leaned back on the rattan chair and smiled as she stroked her belly. Her baby was really like her lucky star. She completed her thesis smoothly and was also bestowed the title of ‘Outstanding Graduate’, which doubled her scholarship.

At this time, she really felt she had no worries in life. Although she did not need the scholarship, it was an honor. Jiang Jin had been so proud when she told Jiang Jin about the scholarship. What she valued was not the money, but the affirmation and honor.

Apart from that, she already had a job lined up after graduation. She would continue to stay by Professor Li’s side to practice and learn. Moreover, Jiahui and her two senior brothers were also going to be working and learning by Professor Li’s side.

She still had a month or so before her due date so her vacation had officially begun. She spent most of her days accompanying Jiang Jin.

The Mu family was filled with joy and love. Even the helpers had expectant smiles on their faces.

On the other hand, as she drew closer to her due date, Mu Chen grew even more nervous. His gaze would inadvertently fall on her stomach. He had even promised Cheng Che many benefits so long as Cheng Che could convince Jiahui to stay in the Mu family house to take care of Song Ning.

Not only that, but he had also told Cheng Che that Cheng Che needed to be around. He had said he was afraid that he could not drive if there was an emergency. He had said his hands and legs trembled just thinking about it. Hence, it was best if Cheng Che was around in case of emergencies. With these words, he successfully transmitted his anxieties to Cheng Che as well.

As a result, the two men simply worked from home. With this, they could spring into action immediately if something were to happen.

On the contrary, Song Ning and Jiahui were much calmer. In fact, they did not look like they took the matter seriously at all. They would accompany Jiang Jin for walks and make delicious food as they imagined the future when the baby arrived.

Both women knew it was likely the baby was a boy. However, seeing how badly Mu Chen wanted a daughter, they did not say anything; they could not bear to shatter his dreams. They decided to let him continue with his beautiful dreams until the truth revealed itself.

During one of the mornings, Song Ning felt a little discomfort in her stomach. Before she got out of bed to look for Jiahui, she checked her pulse.

Jiahui was nervous and excited when she checked Song Ning’s pulse. She looked for Jiang Jin and Sister Yu first before she looked for Mu Chen and Cheng Che who were exercising.

“We need to have a quick breakfast. After that, we’ll have to go to the hospital!”
