Chapter 901: Waiting for A New Day, Or Death (8)
Mu Xichen looked displeased and had a slight frown.
Li Beinian could clearly sense the change in his mood. She quickly waved her hand and said, “No, no, I didn’t. You said that you wanted a child, so I went off it.”
All along, Li Beinian had only taken the pill a few times.
Less than five times in total, and it was such a coincidence that Mu Xichen had caught her 80% of those five times.
At the thought of this, Li Beinian felt that she was rather unlucky. However, when she saw how displeased he was, she felt rather guilty and did not dare to refute him.
As she waved her hand to explain, she paid close attention to the man’s expression.
She noticed that his frown had relaxed slightly. Then, he turned away and fell silent.
Of course, Li Beinian knew that Mu Xichen was unhappy. She reached out and tugged at his shirt. “Hubby.”
Mu Xichen did not respond and steadily drove on.
At this point, the navigation system indicated that they were about to get onto the highway. Li Beinian quickly retracted her hand.
Mu Xichen cast a sidelong glance at her and asked in a quiet voice, “What do you want to say?”
“Nothing…”
“Uh huh?”
“Why would you suspect that I’m pregnant?” Li Beinian scratched her head. “I just feel that I’m unwell because I’ve not been getting enough rest lately.”
“We’ll find out soon enough.” Mu Xichen narrowed his eyes. “If you’re pregnant, I’ll not allow you to be saying any of this nonsense. You should just give up.”
By “nonsense”, he was referring to her remarks about not wanting children and all that.
Casting a glance at him, Li Beinian turned around and whispered, “What nonsense did I speak?”
Mu Xichen snorted faintly and immediately turned away.
Li Beinian decided to be quiet. However, the sleepiness that she had felt just after getting into the car had vanished.
Soon, they arrived at the hospital and Mu Xichen immediately registered her for emergency treatment.
The hospital seemed more crowded today than usual, and there was a rather long queue at the Emergency Department.
Most of the people queuing were women, and most of them were accompanied by men.
Mu Xichen forced Li Beinian to take a seat. Then, he stood by the bench next to her.
Many of the women had slightly bulging bellies. Often, a couple would look at the woman’s slightly bulging belly and smile blissfully.
As Mu Xichen observed this, his expression softened as well.
However, when he looked down, he saw Li Beinian fiddling with the corner of her shirt.
She seemed a little anxious with her head lowered. She had not spoken a word but the corner of her shirt was crumpled from her fiddling and twisting.
As she watched the young mothers walk in and out, Li Beinian suddenly felt panicky.
The queue number got closer and they moved up in the queue. The people passing by seemed to recognize her and couldn’t help but take a few more glances.
Suddenly, Li Beinian stood up.
Mu Xichen looked at her slightly pursed lips and frown. With a complex expression, she said, “I’m going to the toilet!”
At this point, a nurse walked out and shouted, “Li Beinian, Madam Li Beinian you may come in now!”
