Before Mumu jumped into the dining room, he saw his daddy’s face suddenly change. Then, he heard a bump behind him.

  He looked back and saw Xu Youning lying on the ground with her eyes closed.

  Mumu opened his eyes wide in horror. He ran back to her. “Auntie Youning!”


  Usually, as long as he called her name, she would respond to him with a smile.

  This time, however, he kept calling her name vigorously, but Xu Youning still did not open her eyes.

  Mumu was so worried that he burst into tears, then he looked at Kang Ruicheng helplessly. “Daddy!”


  Kang Ruicheng had long rushed over and called out Xu Youning’s name a few times, but she did not respond. Her face became paler and paler, and the vitality gradually disappeared from her face.

  “Stop crying!” Kang Ruicheng suppressed his panic and shouted at Mumu. “Go and ask someone to drive!”


  Mumu ran out and bumped into Ah Jin. The little boy quickly calmed down and grabbed the corner of Ah Jin’s clothes, saying, “Auntie Youning fainted. Daddy asked you to start the car. We’ll take Auntie Youning to the hospital!”


  Ah Jin was stunned and remembered that Mu Sijue had told him to pay attention to Xu Youning’s health condition.

  “Is Xu Youning really ill?”


  “Uncle Ah Jin!” Mumu anxiously tugged at Ah Jin’s clothes, crying and saying, “Hurry up and go!”


  Ah Jin came to his senses all of a sudden. “I’ll go now!”


  At this time, Kang Ruicheng had come out with Xu Youning in his arms. Mumu ran up to him and said, “Daddy……”


  “I’ll take Auntie Youning to the hospital,” said Kang Ruicheng, “and you sleep at home.”


  “No!” Mumu wiped away his tears and said, “I want to accompany Auntie Youning!”


  Xu Youning’s face became paler and paler. Kang Ruicheng did not have time to talk to Mumu anymore, so he asked someone to pick up Mumu, and they went out together.

  The hospital closest to the old residence of the Kang family was the Eighth People’s Hospital, where Xiao Yunyun had once worked as an intern. Xu Youning was sent to the emergency room.

  The emergency doctor asked Kang Ruicheng, “Why did the patient faint?”


  “I don’t know.” Kang Ruicheng’s face, which had always been cold and cruel, actually showed signs of panic. “She was about to eat when she suddenly fainted.”


  “Suddenly fainted?” The doctor continued to ask, “Has there been anything wrong with the patient recently?”


  “Yes!” Mumu grabbed the doctor’s white gown and said with a pure American accent, “Auntie Youning has liked to sleep recently, and she’s been eating a lot, but she will throw up after eating!”


  The doctor thought for a moment and called a female doctor from the Department of Gynaecology and Obstetrics.

  The female doctor carefully asked Kang Ruicheng, “What’s your relationship with the patient?”


  Kang Ruicheng said with a cold face, “She is my wife. Is there anything wrong?”


  The doctor was scared by Kang Ruicheng’s stern tone. She quickly shook her head and said, “We will do a checkup on your wife immediately.”


  After the checkup, Xu Youning was sent into the ward, and the nurse asked Kang Ruicheng to go to the office of the attending doctor.

  “I want to go too!”


  Mumu ran over and looked up at Kang Ruicheng with tears in his eyes.

  After all, Mumu was his son. Kang Ruicheng’s heart was softened, so he took Mumu in his arms and said, “I’ll take you there.”


  Kang Ruicheng directly pushed open the door of the doctor’s office. Before he spoke, Mumu had slipped out of his arms and ran to the doctor’s desk. “Doctor, why did Auntie Youning faint?”


  “Don’t worry, she’s fine.” The doctor smiled at Mumu then turned to look at Kang Ruicheng. “Sir, congratulations! Your wife is pregnant, but……”


  “Pregnant!?”


  Before the doctor finished his words, Kang Ruicheng’s face suddenly sank, and his face was as gloomy as a thundery sky.

  He had never slept with Xu Youning, but some time ago, she had been imprisoned by Mu Sijue for a few days.

  In other words, Xu Youning was pregnant with Mu Sijue’s child.

  He looked at the doctor with a murderous look. “Are you sure she is pregnant?”


  “Yes.” The doctor did not know why Kang Ruicheng was angry. She trembled and did not dare to say anything, let alone look at Kang Ruicheng.

  Kang Ruicheng grabbed one corner of the desk. After a long time, he calmed down a little. “Why did she faint?”


  “For now, it’s because of the pregnancy.” The doctor said, “In the early stage of pregnancy, she should rest more. You should pay attention to her nutrition supplements, and don’t let her get too tired. Your wife doesn’t seem to be in good health. She must have been exhausted.”


  “Is there anything else wrong?” Kang Ruicheng asked gloomily.

  “After finding out that your wife is pregnant, we didn’t do any other examinations for fear of affecting the fetus.” The doctor said, “At present, there is nothing else wrong with your wife.”


  “I got it.” Kang Ruicheng then warned the doctor gloomily, “Don’t tell anyone about her pregnancy!”


  “Okay.” The doctor nodded in fear. “Don’t worry. According to the rules, we mustn’t reveal a patient’s condition to others.”


  Kang Ruicheng did not say anything more. He looked at Mumu and said, “Let’s go.”


  “Goodbye, Doctor.”


  Mumu waved at the doctor, walked over to Kang Ruicheng with his head down, and followed him out.

  After leaving the doctor’s office, Kang Ruicheng took Mumu’s hand and asked, “What’s wrong?”


  Although he did not often live with Mumu, after all, Mumu was his son, so Kang Ruicheng knew him well. The little boy was obviously unhappy.

  Mumu pursed his lips and said, “Why were you so fierce to the doctor? Daddy, I don’t like you when you lose your temper!”


  Only then did Kang Ruicheng realize that he should not lose his temper in front of a child.

  However, after knowing that Xu Youning was pregnant with Mu Sijue’s child, how could he control his temper?

  “I’m sorry.” Kang Ruicheng squatted down in front of Mumu and looked at him. “I won’t do it again.”


  Mumu tilted his head and thought for a while. “Auntie Youning said that everyone should have a chance to correct their mistakes. I forgive you this time, but it can’t happen again!”


  In order to make Kang Ruicheng realize the seriousness of the matter, Mumu especially pronounced every word of the latter half of the sentence very clearly, and his look was even unquestionably serious.

  Kang Ruicheng nodded. “I got it.”


  At this moment, Ah Jin ran over and shouted from a distance, “Brother Cheng, Miss Xu has woken up.”


  Mumu’s eyes lit up. He pulled Kang Ruicheng back to the ward and threw himself into Xu Youning’s arms. “Auntie Youning!”


  Xu Youning had been dizzy all the time, and only then did she realize that she had suddenly fainted in the old residence of the Kang family and then probably taken to the hospital by Kang Ruicheng.

  She sat up, looked at the IV bottle over the head of the bed, and rubbed her temples. “What’s wrong with me?”


  She was very nervous and was afraid that the blood clot in her brain would be discovered, but she had to pretend that she didn’t know anything.

  But even if it had been really discovered, it didn’t matter. After all, Kang Ruicheng was not Mu Sijue, and the former would not care too much about her illness. She could find a way to deal with it.

  Of course, she also hoped that it had not been discovered so that her plan could proceed smoothly.

  Kang Ruicheng stared at Xu Youning with a gloomy look for a long time, then finally said, “You’re fine. The doctor said that you were just too tired. After the IV is finished, you can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.”


  Xu Youning breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, Ah Jin received a call and told Kang Ruicheng that there was something urgent that he needed to deal with immediately.

  Mumu stood up and said, “Daddy, I can accompany Auntie Youning. Go and do your business!”


  Kang Ruicheng still looked at Xu Youning with concern.

  “Didn’t you say that I’m fine? Mumu is with me here anyway.” Xu Youning said, “You can go.”


  Kang Ruicheng asked plenty of people to guard her from the entrance of the hospital to the ward, and after ensuring that nothing would happen, he left with Ah Jin.

  Ah Jin looked back at Xu Youning’s ward and asked in a low voice, “Brother Cheng, is Miss Xu really fine?”


  When he went up to Kang Ruicheng just now, he found that there was something wrong with Kang Ruicheng’s look. He did not quite believe that Xu Youning was just too tired.

  Kang Ruicheng did not answer the question but just warned him coldly, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask.”


  Ah Jin immediately lowered his head. “Yes, I know I was wrong.”


  A car was waiting at the entrance of the hospital. Ah Jin went over and opened the door for Kang Ruicheng.

  Kang Ruicheng got into the car. As soon as he sat down, his eyes darkened.

  “The child in Xu Youning’s belly must not come into this world!”


  However, he really wanted to know if Mu Sijue cared that Xu Youning was pregnant with his child.

  If Mu Sijue wanted this child, maybe he could make good use of it. In this way, Xu Youning’s pregnancy might not be a bad thing.

  Kang Ruicheng was also nervous about Xu Youning, but at this moment, he was just considering how useful the baby in her belly could be.

  Only Mumu really cared about whether or not Xu Youning was still uncomfortable.

  The little boy grabbed a clean cup and poured some warm water in it for Xu Youning. He then asked her, “Auntie Youning, are you still not feeling well?”


  “I’m fine now.”


  Xu Youning took a sip of water and thought that maybe she should go to the doctor and ask about her condition.

  She felt that Kang Ruicheng was not telling the truth.

  “Auntie Youning,” Mumu suddenly climbed onto the bed and looked at her seriously, “I have something to tell you.”


  “Huh?” She came to her senses and asked, “What’s the matter?”


  Mumu pointed at Xu Youning’s belly and said, “You have a baby!”


  Xu Youning was stunned and felt as if a gust of wind were blowing across her barren world. She stared at Mumu for a long time and then came to her senses. “Mumu, pardon me?”


  Mumu blinked his eyes and said innocently, “The doctor said you’re pregnant! It…… it means that you have a baby, doesn’t it?”


  In a split second, Xu Youning remembered that there had been indeed something wrong with her during this period of time.

  Sleepiness, a voracious appetite, frequent vomiting, and so on……

  They were all signs of pregnancy.

  After calculating the time, she found that her period was indeed quite a bit late, but she had never paid attention to it.

  It turned out that she was pregnant.

  “When?”


  Xu Youning soon remembered that on the day when Mu Sijue took her back to the villa from the hospital last time, he was like an out-of-control beast that night and did not take any precautions.

  Xu Youning unconsciously touched her belly, where Mu Sijue’s child was.

  She admitted that it was a pleasant surprise.

  But why did this child come at this time?

  “Auntie Youning?” Mumu tugged at her sleeve and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”


  Only then did Xu Youning find that her hands and feet were cold.

  Kang Ruicheng must have known that she was pregnant. If he forced her to miscarry, what should she do?

  That was a little life created by Mu Sijue and herself.

  She was reluctant to give up the baby, but she had always pretended to regard Mu Sijue as her enemy. If she wanted this child, it would definitely arouse Kang Ruicheng’s suspicion.

  What should she do?
