In the bathroom.

  “Xu Youning?”


  Xu Youning was too familiar with that voice. It was Mu Sijue.

  Why did he choose to come back at this moment?

  For a moment, Xu Youning’s mind went blank as if her brain were emptied of memories.

  Fortunately, she realized in time that she had to throw away the bottle in her hand.

  Otherwise, she could not explain it to Mu Sijue.

  Xu Youning looked around. The trash can was undoubtedly the best choice.

  However, Mu Sijue would probably see it after he came in.

  At the last moment, Xu Youning saw the cabinet high above her.

  If she placed the bottle on it, Mu Sijue should not be able to find it for the time being.

  Xu Youning raised her hand, and was about to place the bottle on it when a familiar figure appeared at the door.

  Mu Sijue clearly heard the flush of a toilet, but the bathroom door was open, which meant that it was not inconvenient for Xu Youning to reply to him.

  Confused, Mu Sijue walked in and saw Xu Youning raise her hand and be about to put something on the cabinet.

  What was it in Xu Youning’s hand?

  Feeling Mu Sijue’s gaze, Xu Youning was hit by a piercing chill, which then spread all over her body in an instant.

  She subconsciously withdrew her hand and hid it behind her back, looking at Mu Sijue in panic.

  Mu Sijue’s face clouded, and he asked, “What’s it in your hand?”


  Xu Youning held the small medicine bottle tightly and shook her head. “Nothing. Mu Sijue, don’t come near me……”


  Mu Sijue immediately felt that something was wrong.

  Every time he found out Xu Youning’s secrets, she would panic, but she would always find a way to cover it up. She had never directly told him not to go near her.

  Xu Youning obviously blurted out the sentence “don’t come near me” without using her brain. She subconsciously said it in a total panic.

  What was it in her hand? Why did it make her lose her mind like this?

  Mu Sijue narrowed his eyes and kept approaching Xu Youning, instead of standing in situ.

  Mu Sijue was born with aggression and oppression. Coupled with the sullen look on his face, Xu Youning immediately felt that her breathing was affected.

  Xu Youning’s palm was sweaty, and she subconsciously stepped back.

  The bathroom covered an area of only seven or eight square meters. After Xu Youning took a few steps back, there was no way back. She could only stand in situ and stare at Mu Sijue blankly, with her face turning pale little by little.

  At this point, no matter what she chose to do, things would get worse.

  Mu Sijue knew Xu Youning well. Judging from her look, he could see that she must be hiding something from him, and that must be no small thing.

  Xu Youning had been back for so long and also promised to marry him. What else did she have to hide from him?

  Finally, Mu Sijue stopped in front of Xu Youning and looked at her coldly. “Show me the thing in your hand.”


  “No,” Xu Youning said in a light voice as if she was too weak to speak, “Mu Sijue, don’t look.”


  “What can’t you show me?”


  With that, Mu Sijue pulled Xu Youning’s hand.

  In terms of strength, Xu Youning was no match for him, and she generally did not struggle.

  But today, Xu Youning seemed to be trying her best to fight against him.

  Mu Sijue vaguely felt that once he knew what Xu Youning was holding, everything would change, and his world would also be turned upside down.

  However, if Xu Youning was really hiding something from him, he could not stand it.

  Mu Sijue pulled Xu Youning’s hand hard again and took what she was holding tightly in her hand.

  It was a white medicine bottle and got wet. It should be soaked by Xu Youning’s cold sweat.

  Mu Sijue frowned and asked, “What kind of medicine is this?”


  “.……” Xu Youning did not speak.

  Mu Sijue observed that the bottle was empty, and his frown got deeper. “If I remember correctly, the doctor told you not to take medicine recklessly. Have you taken this bottle of medicine?”


  “I……” Xu Youning suddenly felt guilty, and her next words turned into smoke and dissipated in the air.

  Mu Sijue suppressed the terrible feeling, took out his mobile phone, entered the name of the medicine, and clicked to search.

  Mifepristone & Misoprostol, were used for……

  The word “abortion” pierced into Mu Sijue’s eyes like a sharp knife.

  For a moment, Mu Sijue thought that he was hallucinating, or all this was a dream.

  In reality, he did not rush back. Instead, he was resting in the apartment in the downtown area. Also, Xu Youning was not in the bathroom but was unwilling to get up from the bed as usual instead.

  The empty bottle of Mifepristone & Misoprostol pills was just a picture in his dream.

  Everything was just a dream.

  But in fact, the surrounding temperature and Xu Youning’s look of panic were real.

  In fact, everything was cruelly telling Mu Sijue that it was not a dream. It was true that Xu Youning really took the pills.

  Mu Sijue was almost going to crumble the medicine bottle. In a rage, he grabbed Xu Youning’s hand and asked, “Where did you get the medicine?”


  “Mu Sijue,” said Xu Youning almost pleadingly, “don’t ask, please.”


  If she told Mu Sijue where she had obtained the medicine, the blood clot in her brain would be exposed.

  Once he knew about her illness, Mu Sijue would definitely not choose to protect the child. Instead, he would risk keeping her safe.

  However, the professor said that the surgery was hardly likely to succeed, and that she was hardly likely to survive. Also, the remote chance of her survival even could only be taken by killing her child.

  The most important thing was that even if the surgery was successful, there would be after-effects.

  She would probably lose her sight or become a vegetative patient after the surgery.

  With such a great risk, why didn’t she let her healthy child come to this world as her life’s continuance?

  She could let Mu Sijue know about the blood clot in her brain, so Mu Sijue had better not ask anything.

  Mu Sijue misunderstood Xu Youning’s evasion as a guilty conscience. His face clouded even more, and his voice was freezing cold. “Xu Youning, even if you don’t say it, I know where you got it.”


  “.……” Xu Youning looked at Mu Sijue with surprise in her eyes.

  Mu Sijue suddenly tightened his grip on Xu Youning’s hand and almost broke her hand. “After finding yourself pregnant, you bought this bottle of medicine, didn’t you? Xu Youning, you don’t want this child at all!”


  Xu Youning was already cold, and when Mu Sijue said the last sentence, she felt that she was even covered with a thick layer of ice. She was trapped in a world of ice and snow, and the ice almost pierced into her bones.

  She shook her head, and before she could deny it, Mu Sijue continued to ask, “Did you take the medicine? Answer me!”


  Mu Sijue almost shouted the last sentence out. In great anger, his momentum was enough to deter everyone within a few kilometers from speaking.

  When Xu Youning worked undercover around him, she had provoked Mu Sijue and been shouted at by him.

  But, it was not until this moment that Xu Youning realized that Mu Sijue had never been really angry before.

  Now, Mu Sijue’s eyes seemed to be burning with anger, and the strength of his hand was strong enough to crush anything. His whole body was exuding a killing intent that could destroy the world. Even Ah Guang, who had a good relationship with him, might not dare to approach him at this moment.

  “Mu Sijue……” Xu Youning shook her head and said, “I didn’t……”


  Before Xu Youning finished speaking, Mu Sijue had pulled her downstairs.

  Mu Sijue was in a hurry, and Xu Youning could not keep up with him at all. She could only gasp and ask, “Mu Sijue, where are you taking me?”


  If Mu Sijue replied that he was going to throw her off the mountaintop, Xu Youning would not doubt it.

  Mu Sijue was extremely angry. He could do anything.

  Ah Guang happened to return to the door of the villa and see Mu Sijue pulling Xu Youning out.

  He had been in City A for so many days and been busy with Tang Yulan’s incident. Even he had to keep an eye on something while eating.

  Unfortunately, little progress was made, so he went back to the top of the mountain and wanted to discuss it all over again with Mu Sijue.

  Ah Guang had been working for Mu Sijue for so many years, so even if he was at a distance from Mu Sijue, he could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with Mu Sijue.

  “Seventh Brother,” Ah Guang asked, “what’s wrong?”


  Mu Sijue’s face clouded. “Tell Wang Yang to get ready.”


  Wang Yang was Lu Boyan’s pilot. Since Mu Sijue asked Wang Yang to get ready, did he want to take a flight?

  Ah Guang could tell that Mu Sijue did not want to wait any longer. He ignored Xu Youning, who was being pulled by Mu Sijue, and turned around to call Wang Yang and asked him to prepare for a flight.

  After hanging up the phone, Ah Guang asked someone to drive the car over.

  Mu Sijue opened the door and directly pushed Xu Youning in.

  Xu Youning fell heavily on the seat and looked at Mu Sijue. “Are you going to take me to the hospital?”


  Mu Sijue made no reply, but only ordered the driver, “Drive!”


  Xu Youning was basically sure that Mu Sijue was going to take her to the hospital for a checkup.

  She breathed a sigh of relief and slowly calmed down, no longer panicking or worried.

  Mu Sijue asked her where she got the medicine and even suspected that she had taken the medicine. She could not explain it, but after she went to the hospital, the doctor could find that their child was fine.

  The doctor could prove to Mu Sijue for her that she did not hurt their child.

  In this way, as long as she admitted that she bought the medicine when she found herself pregnant, she would probably be scolded by Mu Sijue at most.

  When Mu Sijue calmed down, she would apologize to him, explaining that she had regretted it and flushed the pills down the toilet.

  She was a pregnant woman, and she did not believe that Mu Sijue could do anything to her.

  In this way, the existence of the blood clot could be successfully concealed.

  As long as she could hide the blood clot from him, Xu Youning did not care about whatever she would suffer.

  At the helistop, Xu Youning calmly got on the helicopter, sat down and fastened her seat belt.

  Mu Sijue glanced at Xu Youning and said in a cold voice, “Xu Youning, you’d better stay calm after arriving at the hospital.”


  Xu Youning looked into Mu Sijue’s eyes and argued, “You don’t have to worry about it.”


  Mu Sijue sneered and said, “Xu Youning, are you going to throw caution to the winds?”


  “.……” Xu Youning failed to immediately understand what Mu Sijue meant.

  Mu Sijue snorted and said, “You’d better pray that the child is fine.”


  “There’s no need to pray,” Xu Youning said, “and I know very well how my child is!”


  Her child would definitely be fine!

  After all, it was the result of the checkup she had gone through in the private hospital.

  What she needed to think about now was how to explain to Mu Sijue about her buying the medicine……
