  This was probably very ridiculous.

  However, the birth of a life could greatly change a man’s mentality.

  When he first learned of the baby, he was at a loss. He even had some doubts.

  After all, he was always careful about contraception—although he rarely made her take pills.

  It was not as if he had never slept with a woman outside. However, after a passionate night together, he would usually urge the woman to take the morning-after pill. After all, there were countless women desiring to conceive his child. Naturally, he would not let anyone succeed.

  However, when it came to his relationship with Meng Qingxue, he was more proactive. Usually, he would take the initiative to take precautions. Sometimes, if he really could not control himself and failed to make prior preparations, he would ask her to take the morning-after pill.

  Still, this happened very rarely.

  After all, he knew that it was not good for a woman’s health to take such pills.

  However, the moment he found out that she had a child with him, he found it hard to accept.

  He was not ready to be a father.

  As a man in his twenties, he was still very playful. Especially at this critical juncture, when the Mu Group was in a crisis, he was even more averse to that idea.

  But gradually, after Meng Qingxue left, he suddenly realized that he had such deep feelings for her—feelings that should never have existed.

  He was also secretly looking forward to the birth of the baby in her stomach.

  He actually did what he used to think was the most foolish thing.

  For example……

  Mu Yancheng carefully supported her head, bent down slightly, and gently placed his ear on her stomach. However, after listening for a while, he did not hear anything special.

  Mu Yancheng furrowed his brows as he grumbled silently. He looked up, unexpectedly meeting Meng Qingxue’s indifferent gaze.

  “!”


  An embarrassed expression crossed Mu Yancheng’s face at the thought of her seeing his foolish actions. He could not help but feel uneasy.

  Mu Yancheng bit his lip speechlessly.

  Meng Qingxue could not help but ask him, “What are you doing?”


  “Ahem……” Mu Yancheng furrowed his brows and pretended to be calm. “Picking something up……”


  “If you’re picking something up, why were your ears placed on my stomach?” Meng Qingxue asked with a smile.

  Mu Yancheng was at a loss for words.

  Meng Qingxue suddenly said, “It’s still early, so you won’t hear any fetal movements.”


  “I……”


  Mu Yancheng did not bother to hide it anymore. He cleared his throat awkwardly as his cheeks turned unnaturally red.

  At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.

  Mu Yancheng was stunned for a moment. He picked up his phone and saw a phone number flashing on the screen. The number was not saved, but when he looked at the last few digits, he knew that it was Song Enya’s number.

  He did not save her contact.

  Mu Yancheng stared at the phone number in a daze. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly rejected the call.

  Meng Qingxue’s expression turned strange. She could not help but ask, “Why didn’t you answer it?”


  “Oh, it’s not a particularly important call.”


  “Was it Song Enya?” Meng Qingxue asked.

  Mu Yancheng’s expression froze once more. Before he could give an explanation, his phone rang again. Song Enya had persistently called him again. The constant ringing urged him to pick it up.

  He immediately felt vexed.
