Chapter 1813 - 514: Dismiss Her
Chapter 1813: Chapter 514: Dismiss Her "Mrs. Mu, what do you think?"
Mu Yichen suddenly turned to look at the woman beside him.
Qin Mu also turned to look at him. If Mu Yichen’s gaze was particularly authoritative and assertive, then Qin Mu’s eyes were casual and candid.
"Mrs. Mu is too lazy to care about your troubling matters!"
Qin Mu raised her head and said to him.
Suddenly, laughter echoed continuously throughout the restaurant, and Mu Yichen sighed helplessly.
"Mu always had an excuse to fire her!"
Xi Meng quickly explained to everyone.
Everyone looked at Mu Yichen, but Mu Yichen didn’t explain; instead, Xi Meng slowly explained it to everyone.
Actually, Mu Yichen had long dug a pit that Zhang Hongyun would eventually fall into.
Qin Mu didn’t expect Mu Yichen to be so cunning, but she felt that some women really shouldn’t be treated too leniently. Otherwise, they might think every man in the world has a soft spot for them.
——
They didn’t stay out too late, and everyone hurried to leave a few minutes before the elders were set to return, so as not to disturb their routine.
Helian Hao and Jing Feng were a bit dispirited on their way home; Helian Hao didn’t dare tell Jing Feng that it had been a long time since her last period, and Jing Feng didn’t ask her. Helian Hao guessed Jing Feng didn’t know her cycle dates, so she didn’t say much, fearful of being wrong and it not being true...
She still remembered the results from the last check-up, and she didn’t dare to have any hopes. So, even though more than forty days had passed, she still hadn’t tried a test, even though there were plenty in the office drawer.
Jing Feng drove seriously, but Helian Hao’s excessive silence made him associate it with the theme of tonight’s gathering. So, he turned to look at Helian Hao briefly, seeing her expression like she was worried about something. Assuming it was due to their inability to have a second child, he told her, "Don’t worry too much!"
Helian Hao turned to look at him. "Hmm?"
"I mean Xi Meng’s pregnancy, don’t let it get to you!"
Jing Feng told her.
Upon hearing this, Helian Hao gave a bitter smile, looking down at the ring on her finger.
"Hmm!"
All she could manage was to agree softly.
"Having a son is enough for us. If we had a daughter, that would be great, but if not, so what? Do you know how many families in China can only have one child? And there are some who choose not to have any children at all, and others who really can’t have even one. There are also those who have been trying IVF for more than a decade without success. We are already among the lucky ones!"
Jing Feng said to her.
Jing Qing felt really sorry for Helian Hao, who later couldn’t conceive again, and had to talk about it every time she called Jing Feng. Later, Jing Qing worried that Jing Feng and Helian Hao were too upset about not being able to have a second child, so she mentioned this to him and asked him to tell Helian Hao. After hearing it, Jing Feng felt it made a lot of sense but didn’t plan to say it aloud, until tonight, when he felt it was necessary to talk about it.
After hearing his lengthy talk, Helian Hao somehow chuckled.
"Really! You don’t believe me?"
Upon hearing her laugh, Jing Feng glanced at her again and asked. Somehow, the usually calm and composed Jing Jian seemed uncertain now.
"It’s not that I don’t believe you, just that I didn’t realize you could comfort people like this!"
Helian Hao said with a smile.
Jing Feng also smiled a bit, thinking to himself, isn’t it just because I don’t want you to be upset?
His biggest worry was that Helian Hao felt pressured because others were having children.
She persisted in her position and delivered babies every day, but none were her own. When they argued, she’d be particularly annoyed, complaining to him, and sometimes Jing Feng truly felt powerless, instinctively reaching out to hold her, letting her lean against his shoulder.
The night road was cold, summer had been slow to arrive, but it had gotten hot these days.
Everything outside—pedestrians, vehicles, even the music playing in some shop entrances—all moved slowly. Their mood didn’t seem hurried to worsen.
Maybe there really could be a miracle!
Helian Hao leaned on his shoulder with the thought, her mood becoming very relaxed.
Hope, tomorrow brings good news. Hope, she can share that joy with him immediately.
"By the way, has it been a lengthy time since your last period? Hasn’t come yet?"
Close to home, Jing Feng embraced her and suddenly asked this, his voice slow, as if still contemplating whether his count was correct.
Helian Hao suddenly felt nervous. "Is it?"
"Hmm! Seems like it, think carefully when you get home about the last time it came!"
Jing Feng said very seriously.
Helian Hao stopped leaning on his shoulder, straightened up, and looked back at him; seeing his seriousness, appearing very worried for her, made her heart beat even faster.
Helian Hao didn’t dare tell him, fearing that if she did and was wrong, both would be disappointed, better to be sad alone.
But what if he figured it out too...
Helian Hao thought more and more about whether she should tell him. Over the years, she rarely had such undecided moments, but this time, it was exactly like this.
After returning, Jing Feng went into the room apparently rummaging for something, while Helian Hao slowly walked in. "What are you looking for?"
"The receipt from when I bought your sanitary pads last time!"
He remembers not throwing it away; it seems he casually tossed it in the drawer, but now he can’t find it.
Helian Hao thought: Silly, just check your phone, right? You used mobile payment.
Helian Hao made an excuse to go to the restroom, but as soon as she got in there, she took out her phone and sent Qin Mu a WeChat message: "Mumu, what should I do?"
Qin Mu had just returned to the room, saw the phone, and sent a question mark: "?"
"My relative hasn’t visited for a long time?"
Helian Hao replied to her.
Big Mumu: "?"
Big Mumu: "Are you pregnant?"
Big Mumu: "?"
Big Mumu sent a video call!
Helian Hao was completely at a loss, but she reflexively immediately hung up the video and quickly replied to Qin Mu: "No! I’m just suspicious, it’s not confirmed yet!"
Qin Mu was worried sick, wanted to send her a video call but got hung up, feeling a bit angry: "Why not answer the video?"
"I can’t let Jing Feng know; I can’t let him be happy for nothing! I’m secretly messaging you from the bathroom."
Helian Hao explained to her.
Qin Mu helplessly scratched her head and then sent her: "So what now? Did you buy a test kit?"
Dr. Hao: "No! I plan to go to the hospital and try again tomorrow, to be honest, I don’t dare, I’m afraid it’s a false alarm; it’s just that the stress has been too much, so my relative didn’t arrive on time."
Big Mumu: "No way! I have a feeling, there’s definitely something!"
Qin Mu’s heart was racing; she didn’t know why, but somehow, she just had that feeling that heaven should favor her Xiaohao. Since Xiaohao got together with Jing Feng over the years, there haven’t been too many issues between them, but the Jing Family tortured Helian Hao quite a bit, especially Jing Qing and her mother-in-law. She should have a wish come true.
"Jing Feng is now trying to find the receipt from last time when he helped me buy sanitary pads to check the time. If he finds it, what should I say?"
Helian Hao asked Qin Mu again.
"Tell him the truth!"
Qin Mu sent it to her.
Dr. Hao: "I already said I don’t want to let him be happy for nothing!"
Big Mumu: "Then just see what he says first. If he also suspects you’re pregnant, then tell him the truth!"
Dr. Hao: "Suddenly I think of your husband, Mu Yichen; even such a smart person makes stupid mistakes at critical times, maybe Jing Feng is the same."
Big Mumu: "They have such a good relationship; perhaps they will really have the same reaction."
Thinking of Mu Yichen not daring to recognize Huanhuan when he saw her was really astounding.
Qin Mu thought he would surely recognize her as his daughter at first glance, but that day...
Qin Mu had never seen a man as clueless as that, especially not Mu, who is always smart, isn’t he?
"Chatting with Helian Hao again?"
Qin Mu had just finished sending a message when she heard a voice behind her, and it was very close; Qin Mu slightly moved, instantly feeling his breath in her ear, instinctively turning her head, she saw his prepared dark eyes, quietly, directly hitting hers.
It felt like her private space had been intruded upon, Qin Mu looked at him nervously: "Since when were you behind me?"
Didn’t hear a thing.
"You were so focused chatting, how would you hear me coming over? You two chatted all the time at old Qin’s place and continued even after returning!"
Mr. Mu was a bit sad, even though his voice was light, there was still a hint of jealousy, he always felt his wife had more enthusiasm when chatting with others than with him.
"We have things to discuss!"
Qin Mu watched him walk over, then hugged him from behind.
"What things?"
Mu Yichen stood there, not moving; being hugged like this felt good, he enjoyed it, and continued to ask her.
"Hmm... women’s stuff, can’t tell you men!"
Mu Yichen helplessly sighed: "Why does it feel like I’m being tricked, Mrs. Mu!"
"Absolutely not, I wouldn’t dare to trick my man like that!"
Qin Mu looked up at him; when their eyes met, Qin Mu’s eyes were already smiling so much they turned into slits, like a crescent moon, enchanting Mu Yichen.
"Really? But I’m rather looking forward to it!"
——
Later.
"Tomorrow let Zhang Hongyun resign!"
For the first time, asking a woman to leave his side so confidently, not allowing him to refuse.
"Tomorrow?"
