Chapter 44 She’s Pregnant

As the sun rose, the alarm clock rang too.

Mu Yu, who was sleeping soundly, opened her eyes. She yawned and stretched out her hand to switch off the alarm clock. Lifting her sheets, she got up and glanced at the left side of the bed habitually. She wasn’t surprised to see Qin Jinhuan absent. She wore her slippers and got off from bed. As she walked to the french windows, she pulled the curtains aside and opened the windows.

A gust of cool wind swept past her. As she took a deep breath, there was an instant feeling of delight spreading all over her.

Giving herself a big lazy stretch, she was ready to wash up.

As she turned around, she caught two figures standing at a distance from the corner of her eyes. She immediately paused to take a closer look. She could only see Qin Jinhuan and Rong Jian standing by the fountain in the middle of the backyard. As Qin Jinhuan’s back was facing the window where she was standing by, she couldn’t see his expression. But she had seen the nervous expression shown by Rong Jian.

At this time, Rong Jian’s hair was slightly disheveled. His shirt seemed like the one he was wearing yesterday. He was making exaggerated hand gestures at Qin Jinhuan, his mouth was moving non-stop, and he was tugging at Qin Jinhuan’s arm from time to time. When he saw Qin Jinhuan not giving any response, he continued his gestures.

In her eyes, Rong Jian was a man who could always keep his poise. When she saw this situation, she instantly had a bad gut feeling.

If an experienced chief detective could be that anxious, something big must have happened!

Does Gan Wulin’s car accident really have something to do with Qin Jinhuan? Maybe Gan Wulin had made a police report and Rong Jian, who has insider’s information, came desperately to discuss some plans with Qin Jinhuan?

Oh my God!

Nervous, Mu Yu rushed out from the room. She ran down the stairs, straight to the fountain in the backyard and shouted “Chief Rong!” loudly.

“Doctor Mu-Mu Yu, good morning.” Rong Jian immediately paused the conversation, and smiled as he greeted her.

“Chief Rong, what’s going on? Please tell me.” Mu Yu was slightly out of breath as she asked him desperately. She glanced at Qin Jinhuan. When she saw that he was still smiling at her, she got even more anxious.

Rong Jian gave an awkward look. “This… I was thinking of…”

“What is it that you’re assuming?” Qin Jinhuan interrupted faintly.

Mu Yu shook her head. “I don’t know anything, that’s why I’ve come to ask you.”

“You can’t help us, so don’t get yourself involved. Behave, and go eat your breakfast.” Qin Jinhuan smiled and patted her shoulder as he gestured to her to get inside the house.

“But…”

Rong Jian comforted her, “Mu Yu, don’t worry. I will take care of this matter.”

“Does he have any evidence?”

“Evidence?” Rong Jian was confused. “What evidence?”

“Evidence that shows that the car accident was planned.”

He and Qin Jinhuan exchanged glances and seemed to have caught on. He heaved a sigh of relief and asked with a smile, “Mu Yu, what do you think Huan and I are discussing about?”

“Isn’t it about Gan Wulin’s car accident?”

Qin Jinhuan interrupted rudely, “Who do you think Gan Wulin is? Is he even worth our attention?”

“What?”

Rong Jian explained seriously, “Mu Yu, we’re not talking about Gan Wulin. It’s about Rubing.”

Mu Yu was shocked again. “What happened to Teacher Rubing?”

Rong Jian was hesitant for a while. Raising a hand to look at his watch, he said, “Mu Yu, it’s almost time to go to work. You can have your breakfast first. I’ll tell you everything on the way to work.”

She noticed that he was trying to avoid her gaze, and a faint blush appeared on his tanned cheeks. She then remembered that Wen Zeyu had once mentioned that Rong Jian liked Feng Rubing. She also noticed that Qin Jinhuan was seemingly in disdain when he talked about Gan Wulin. Mu Yu realized that she had misunderstood the situation, and the fact that she was showing great concern toward Qin Jinhuan. Afraid to be seen through, she guiltily ran back into the house.

After Mu Yu had gone far enough, Rong Jian turned to look at Qin Jinhuan and asked, “Did Mu Yu find out about something?”

“We didn’t do anything wrong. What is there for her to find out that we should be afraid of?”

“Gan Wulin wouldn’t even be in this accident, if it wasn’t for Zeyu’s impulsiveness. Luckily, he had only broken one of his legs. If he died, you guys wouldn’t have gotten away with it. If this affects the supposedly smooth process of the Phoenix Gully project, you are done for.”

“The truth is, Gan Wulin met with an accident after taking drugs.”

“Who was it that had secretly sent someone to provide Gan Wulin with genuine drugs? Who had then persuaded him to drive after taking drugs? If the victim had reported to the police, it wouldn’t be hard to find out about all of these.”

“So what if the police find out? He’s a scum.” Qin Jinhuan was in disdain.

“He is indeed a scum. But nobody can ignore the laws of the country and cross the line to punish scums!”

Qin Jinhuan was getting impatient. “What happened cannot be undone. What are you going to do with Zeyu?”

“It’s not about what I’m going to do. I’m reminding you to warn Zeyu to be more careful when handling things in the future, and look at the bigger picture in everything, especially for now. Qing Tian Group cannot lose the Phoenix Gully project.”

As he said this, Rong Jian eased his tone and continued, “However, Gan Wulin didn’t know that he had fallen into the trap. All he knows is that he has to bear the penalty for driving after the influence of drugs. That’s why he didn’t dare make a police report after breaking his leg, nor did he alert the insurance company. So, nothing will happen to Zeyu. But that doesn’t mean that he would be this lucky every time.”

“I know that. I’ll have a talk with him after that.” Qin Jinhuan also eased his tone.

“Also, tell him to not meddle with things between Rubing and me. I will settle it on my own.”

“He’s just concerned about you.”

“I know that. Oh yea, Huan,” Rong Jian suddenly thought of something, and walked into the house with a concerned look on his face. “Doctor Mu really cares about you. Will you guys really turn this into something real and develop true feelings toward each other?”

Qin Jinhuan’s gaze warmed up instinctively as he raised one of his brows, asking, “Can’t we?”

“The both of you are still single. If you are really serious about her, of course you can. But if you’re just playing around, then you should let her go. She’s not like the girls that you’ve had before. She’s too innocent. Once an innocent girl gets involved in a relationship, she will give all her body and soul to it. I don’t wish for my subordinate to get hurt in a relationship at such a young age. Moreover, I don’t wish for my best friend to be the one hurting her!”

“Aren’t you troubled enough about Feng Rubing? You still have the time to meddle with so many other things.”

“Huan, I am talking about a serious matter with you.” Rong Jian said sternly. “Tell me honestly, you and Doctor Mu…”

“Not interested! Now are you reassured?” Qin Jinhuan smirked. “Do you think everyone is just like you, having a unique interest toward forensic doctors?”

“I…”

“Stop chattering. Take more frequent trips to your Beauty Bing’s house whenever you’re free, maybe…”

“Young Master! Young Master!” Yu Zhongguang suddenly shouted as he sprung out from the house. “Good news! Extremely good news!”

Looking at him with a joyful look, Qin Jinhuan felt anxious and quickly approached him. “Grandpa has recovered?”

“It’s not about the Old Master. It’s Mistress! Mistress is pregnant!”

“What?” Qin Jinhuan was shocked.

“Pregnant?” Rong Jian responded after a while and pulled him aside. He exclaimed “Look at what you’ve done!”

Qin Jinhuan ignored Rong Jian. He pulled Yu Zhongguang’s arm and asked urgently, “Is she really pregnant?”

Qin Jinhuan suddenly had a confusing expression on his face. Nobody could guess whether he was going to cry or laugh.

Rong Jian thought he was looking guilty, and got even angrier. Pointing at his nose, Rong Jian scolded, “Since things have come to this state, you must take your responsibility till the end! If you don’t… Hey, are you listening to what I’m saying? Hey?”

“You’re long-winded.” Qin Jinhuan suddenly smiled and quickly walked into the house at a fast pace.

Yu Zhongguang hurriedly ran to keep up with him while he shouted all the way into the house, “Young Master is here! Young Master is here! Mistress, she…”

“What are you doing shouting so early in the morning? Are you that happy?” Qin Xiaozhi stomped his walking stick angrily onto the ground.

Yu Zhongguang, who was scolded, finally realized that his emotions didn’t match the atmosphere of the room. He instantly froze in the middle of the living room and stuttered, “O-Old Master, I…”

“Hmph!” Qin Xiaozhi glared at him. He turned to look at Qin Jinhuan and pointed at the bathroom on the first floor, yelling, “Bring your wife upstairs with you and get lost immediately! Don’t stay here and disgust others!”

At this moment, Qin Jinhuan was walking toward the bathroom, ignoring his words. However, Rong Jian, who was behind them, obviously couldn’t take his words. With a hint of dissatisfaction, he said, “Grandpa, I heard that pregnant women are like that. Mu Yu is now carrying the flesh and blood of the Qin family, you should…”

“This has nothing to do with you!”

“Grandpa…”

“Would you believe that I’ll ask you to get lost too?”

After Qin Xiaozhi yelled at him, Rong Jian didn’t speak anymore as he looked pitifully toward the direction of the bathroom.

At this time, Mu Yu slowly walked out of the bathroom with the help of Li Xianglan.

Her complexion was pale, and there were faint tear stains at the corner of her eyes. The formal clothes that she had just changed into were slightly ruffled, making her look really messy. When she saw Qin Jinhuan waiting for her by the door with a smile on his face, she was filled with range. If the others weren’t there, she would really go over and give him a good beating, or even curse him angrily.

“You aren’t feeling well? Let me bring you upstairs to rest.” Qin Jinhuan ignored her angry stare and gently replaced Li Xianglan to help her.

Rest? Rest my foot!

Mu Yu wanted to push him away angrily. However, he had already tightened his grip stealthily and threw her a warning look without being noticed by everyone.

She suppressed her anger and tried to force a smile as she responded, “I’m okay. I don’t need to rest. I need to go to work.”

Li Xianglan quickly shouted in shock, “Mistress, your pregnancy symptom is so bad. You mustn’t go to work. You should stay at home and rest!”

“Pregnancy symptom?” Mu Yu was shocked and then caught on after some time. Her face instantly turned red in embarrassment. “I’m not pregnant. I vomited just now because…”

Qin Jinhuan cut her off and said, “You don’t look good. Go upstairs and rest.”

“No, I…”

“Mu Yu, don’t worry and stay at home to take care of the baby. I’ll help you apply for the day off.”

When she saw Rong Jian turning to leave, Mu Yu was desperate and she called out anxiously, “Chief Rong, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not pregnant. The reason I vomited just now was because…”

Qin Jinhuan glared at her, and she immediately stopped talking.

Qin Jinhuan had messed with her by purposely telling Li Xianglan that she liked eating parsley. He ordered her to add lots of parsley into her sour soup. She didn’t notice it and had consumed a mouthful of noodles with parsley, so the next second, she threw up violently.

If Grandpa learnt about the truth of my disgust toward parsley, he would see through the affectionate acts between me and Qin Jinhuan.. He would definitely use this as an excuse to make the both of us file for divorce. I can’t get a divorce. Even if it meant that I would be misunderstood as a pregnant lady, I still can’t get a divorce!

It didn’t matter anyway. If Grandpa really believed that I’m pregnant, maybe he would stop his efforts in getting me out of the Qin family. He probably wouldn’t kill his own great-grandson with his own hands.

After Mu Yu made her decision, she looked up to exchange a glance with Qin Jinhuan, only to see him struggling to hold back his laughter. She suppressed her anger and then walked away angrily.

Hold it in!

Fight with your wits.

Something flickered in her eyes as she hatched an idea. Her eyes hid traces of sly intentions as she called for Li Xianglan.
