Chapter 356 - 187._5
A large hand reached for the woman’s lower abdomen, lightly cupping it through the fabric of her spring clothes.A small life was being nurtured there, and perhaps it was just a mental effect, but he seemed to be able to feel the presence of their child.
He didn’t know how to describe this feeling.
As her body was lifted, Nan Wan instinctively wrapped her arms around the man’s neck and asked softly, "Where are we going?"
Mu Jin Huan used his toe to nudge open the ajar door, his sharp features softened with a hint of gentleness, "Home."
He didn’t want to interfere too much with her work; originally, he had just come to take a look, but now it was clear he couldn’t not interfere.
"I can’t just leave after being here for only a day. How am I supposed to continue at the hospital after this?"
The man’s footsteps didn’t falter, and Nan Wan started to feel anxious, "I won’t run around, and I feel fine. For the remaining days, I’ll stay inside the cabin, nothing will happen."
Mu Jin Huan’s expression remained unchanged, his short hair still half-dry, swaying slightly with his steps, adding a bit of nonchalance.
His voice was deep and calm, "Tomorrow, go for a check-up. I need to personally hear from another doctor that you and the baby are fine."
He wouldn’t easily trust her words anymore.
Accepting her fate, Nan Wan stopped insisting and only said, "There are so many people outside, put me down, I can walk on my own."
When they came in she was fine, but now being carried out like this, those who didn’t know might think something had happened to her.
Hearing her words, Mu Jin Huan did indeed stop, but instead of putting her down, he firmly reminded her, "Hold on tighter."
Nan Wan’s hands, which had just been brought back down, wrapped around the man’s neck again. She pouted, "...Oh."
He returned to his domineering and forceful way. Couldn’t he be gentle for a little longer?
The doctors were chatting in the courtyard when Mu Jin Huan came out carrying Nan Wan, and everyone fell silent.
Some looked on with admiration, some with envy, and of course, some with jealousy.
The person in charge didn’t say anything, so they could only watch.
Only Liu An was the calmest, taking a couple of bites of his food before standing up and following the boss out.
———
In the car.
Liu An freed a hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead. In fact, the weather was quite mild, but as soon as they set off, he was told to turn on the air conditioning, so he had to endure it even if he was sweating profusely.
Mu Jin Huan looked down, observing the sleepy expression of the woman in his arms, gently coaxing, "There’s more than three hours to go. Sleep for a bit, I’ll wake you when we arrive."
He knew the rural conditions weren’t good, but the place they stayed would be very damp after the rain. She already had a cold constitution, and now she wasn’t alone anymore.
Although driving through the night back home would make her uncomfortable, it was better than sleeping in a place like that.
Nan Wan rubbed her stomach, murmuring, "I’m so hungry."
She hadn’t eaten much at lunchtime, and had thrown it all up, and hadn’t eaten anything in the evening, keeping her awake.
"Just hold on a little longer," Mu Jin Huan’s left hand remained on the woman’s lower abdomen, kissing her cheek before instructing Liu An, "Drive faster."
As a result, Liu An had no time to wipe his sweat.
A little past four in the morning, the car stopped at the entrance of North Shore Villa.
In the end, Nan Wan succumbed to her fatigue and fell asleep. Mu Jin Huan gently carried her out of the car, while Liu An quickly moved ahead to enter the password.
Aunt Zhou turned off the stove upon hearing the noise and came out of the kitchen. Seeing Madame sleeping, nestled in Sir’s arms, she quickly went upstairs to open the bedroom door.
She asked softly, "Sir, should I bring the porridge up?"
Mu Jin Huan responded faintly, "Yes."
Nan Wan was woken by the man pinching her nose. She blinked sleepily, taking a moment to realize where she was, frowning as she mumbled a complaint, "What are you doing?"
Mu Jin Huan held her soft, boneless hand and kissed it, his voice deep and gentle, "Aunt Zhou made porridge. Eat before going back to sleep."
Nan Wan noticed something new on her ring finger, reflecting a charming light under the warm yellow light.
Yes, Mr. Mu was very casual, so casual that it seemed entirely natural.
Her other hand unconsciously touched her neck, but it was empty, there was nothing there, "Where’s the necklace?"
He put the ring on her, but was still hiding the necklace?
Leaning down, Mu Jin Huan gently pulled her out of the covers, a gentle smile playing on his lips, "Didn’t you say you didn’t want it anymore?"
At that time, she had decisively returned both items to him, saying words that pierced his heart, though he knew she was being coerced by Nan Huaiyu. Nonetheless, recalling it still made him uncomfortable.
"You’re so annoying," Nan Wan pushed away the man’s hand, followed the scent to get out of bed, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and started drinking the porridge.
