Chapter 974: Wake Up (2)

“What’s the matter?” He squinted and noticed that she did not seem very well.

Xi Xiaye lowered her gaze for a moment before asking, “You told me before that Gu Lingsha was already pregnant when she eloped with Qi Feng, but her child was lost during the accident, right?”

Mu Yuchen’s face froze when Xi Xiaye mentioned this. He asked her, “Why the sudden question?”

“Could you confirm who the father is?” Xi Xiaye gave him a worried look as she asked quietly.

Mu Yuchen’s expression seemed confused. “Why are you asking this? Did she tell you that it’s my child?”

Xi Xiaye shook her head as she gently touched his arm. “Don’t be like this. Can you tell me what actually happened?”

Mu Yuchen did not agree to her suggestion. Instead, he looked at Xi Xiaye. “Xiaye, did you find out about something?”

Xi Xiaye sighed. “I bumped into her this morning at Hua Heng Property. We didn’t have a pleasant conversation. She told me she had been pregnant with a pair of twins back then. Unfortunately, her body was heavily injured after the accident, so only one child could be saved. The child that survived is Qi Weier whose health has been terrible since birth.”

Bewildered, Mu Yuchen stared at Xi Xiaye. “Are you saying that Qi Weier is one of the children she was pregnant with during the accident?”

Xi Xiaye nodded. “That’s right. I investigated it and confirmed that Qi Weier is five years old this year. Gu Lingsha lost her ability to get pregnant. She told me that personally although I’m not sure if she’s telling the truth. However, seeing the Qi family’s attitude towards Qi Weier, that child might really be Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha’s daughter,” she tried to comfort him because his expression did not look well.

She actually did not want to bring up this sensitive topic, but she supposed it would be better to let him know. Hopefully, the truth was not what she imagined.

Mu Yuchen did not say a thing and just closed his eyes. While he looked outside the window with a heavy heart, Xi Xiaye could sense the uneasiness and sadness within him.

“Did you tell anyone about it? Qi Lei?” Mu Yuchen asked moments later.

Xi Xiaye shook her head. “I didn’t tell anyone. I’m just having some doubts. What’s wrong? Why do you look like that? Are you worried that…?”

Mu Yuchen covered her mouth before she could finish her sentence. “Great. Don’t say anything then. Just act as if we never even thought about it. They should know the truth with the way they are acting now. Things shouldn’t be like what we’re imagining.”

“Otherwise, why are you feeling uneasy? Mr. Mu, are you…?”

“Nothing, I’m just thinking that judging by the weight of their relationship, I still don’t think Lingtian would do that. I doubt he’d betray us no matter how much importance he placed on their friendship. Back then, he also knew that Gu Lingsha agreed to the marriage.” Mu Yuchen frowned.

“Then, do you remember what Lingtian told you? Gu Lingsha told me today that Mu Lingtian begged you to let them go, but you didn’t.”

Mu Yuchen’s eyes darkened, and he finally spilled the truth, “That’s right. Lingtian knew I was going to do something about them. I gave Ah Mo and the others orders right in front of him. I told them to get Qi Feng and Gu Lingsha back. It was a huge matter and I couldn’t just take it sitting down. I needed them to clarify to the media since it was affecting Glory World and the whole Mu family. Lingtian begged me, but I didn’t agree and I asked him to leave this matter alone. I remember he just hesitated and didn’t say anything else, but I still don’t understand why he’d help the two of them escape. I only found out that he was fond of Gu Lingsha from Qi Lei and others.”‘

“I’m sure that’s not the case!” Xi Xiaye gasped.

Mu Yuchen was quiet for a while. His quiet gaze landed on Xi Xiaye’s face. “Xiaye, no matter what happens, I hope that you can trust me and support me. If something actually happens, that child will be mine. Do you understand me?”

Xi Xiaye was stunned. As she looked into his eyes and saw the helplessness and darkness in them, her eyes teared up as she nodded. “I understand. I know I’ll always support you.”

He smiled and wrapped her in his arms. “Thank you, my dear wife!”

She returned the smile, “You’re welcome. You’re forever mine anyway. No one can take you away from me.”

He nodded. “I’ll always be yours.” He then left a kiss on her lips.

Xi Xiaye instinctively touched her forehead and the injuries on her face before asking nervously, “You haven’t told me if scars will remain.”

“We’ll find out after we remove the bandages. The doctor said the injuries on your face are fine, but the one on your forehead might be tricky. Don’t worry. It’s not as bad as Lingshi’s injuries. Although it should be difficult to perform a scar removal procedure, you’ve married me anyway, so don’t worry about it.” He smiled warmly at her.

“How could I not worry? I already look so plain. If I get a scar now…” Xi Xiaye touched her injuries again, but she then felt a sharp pain shooting from her arms.

“Be careful and don’t keep touching your wounds. Eat something. I’m going to drop Qi Lei a message. He’s really worried about you. Don’t be so reckless again in the future.”

He took out his phone and sent Qi Lei a text message. Then, he picked up the dinner Yang Sheng had prepared.
