Chapter 766 - How Are You Feeling These Days?

He sat down at the table, wrote a letter and gave it to the little boy at the door. “Send this back.”

The little boy looked at the seal on the envelope and said excitedly, “You’re finally willing...”

When Xiao Xiao arrived, Mo Qian’er was drinking medicine. The medicine prescribed by the royal doctor was awful and bitter, but the royal doctor said that it would help her recover faster.

Mo Qian’er didn’t know that something was wrong with her body, but she had been feeling unwell for the past few days.

Her abdomen was always swollen. It wasn’t painful, but she felt uncomfortable.

So, she drank the medicine obediently.

However, the medicine didn’t help much. The feeling in her abdomen didn’t disappear, and she thought that it might be because the baby was getting bigger.

It was almost six months now, and the baby was growing bigger and bigger.

The maid asked her once, “Miss Qian’er, do you want a boy or a girl?”

After asking the question, the maid patted her mouth. “I asked a dumb question; it has to be a boy.”

The crown prince of Heavenly Wind Empire would naturally want a boy.

If Miss Qian’er’s baby was a boy, it would be the crown prince in the future, and Mo Qian’er would become the mother of the crown prince.

Qian’er shook her head with a smile. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl, as long as they’re healthy.”

The maid immediately said solemnly, “You can’t think that, Miss Qian’er. The baby has to be a boy.”

Miss Qian’er wouldn’t be able to have children again. If it was a girl, how could the crown prince continue to like her?

He might as well find another woman.

Qian’er smiled and didn’t say anything. It wasn’t like she could control the baby’s gender.

Xiao Xiao waited for her to finish the medicine before he came forward. “The baby is growing really fast. I haven’t seen you in a few days and it’s already this big.”

Mo Qian’er stared at him blankly. “You... you’re fine.”

Gu Bailu had told her that Xiao Xiao would examine her, but she hadn’t expected it to be so soon.

That day, he had been heavily wounded and stabbed in the chest by Lu Fenying.

Mo Qian’er lowered her head, feeling too ashamed to see him. She had implicated him, but she hadn’t visited him once nor offered him any comforting words.

“I’m a doctor, and one who can treat himself.” Xiao Xiao sat down with a smile and put down his medicine box. “Give me your hand.”

Mo Qian’er bit her lip and moved back. “I... I’m fine, but... there’s no need to look. The doctor prescribed me medicine...”

“I’m already here. If you don’t let me check, wouldn’t this be a wasted trip?” Xiao Xiao said softly.

Mo Qian’er lowered her head, her long black hair covering most of her face. She saw Xiao Xiao’s hand, which was slender and fair like jade. It was as gentle as he was, and didn’t feel invasive at all.

Mo Qian’er stretched out her hand. “Then... thank you.”

Xiao Xiao clasped her hand, and his heart skipped a beat.

“It’s my pleasure.” He chuckled.

Mo Qian’er blushed. She knew what he meant, but she couldn’t reciprocate.

Xiao Xiao stopped talking once he concentrated and started to check her meridians.

Mo Qian’er looked up at him and then lowered her head again. His face was too pale to be a healthy shade.

He must’ve come to check on her before he had recovered.

Mo Qian’er lowered her head, feeling a little shameless. She knew that he loved her, but she still accepted his kindness...

After Xiao Xiao examined her for a long time, Mo Qian’er raised her head to look at him, only to see him frowning and looking solemn.

Noticing that he was looking at her, Xiao Xiao asked in a deep voice, “How are you feeling these days?”
