Mu Xiaocheng had fallen asleep in Mu Yuchen’s arms, but his breathing still remained uneven.

Xi Xiaye put her hand on his forehead. “He still has a fever. When will it go down?”

He observed her frantic reaction and tidied up her messy hair a little as he comforted her, “It’s going to be alright. Our son is the one who got poked by the needle, so why are you crying instead?” She glared at him before taking another look at Mu Xiao Cheng’s legs again. She was heartbroken to see the prick marks.

“Your son is being hurt like this. Don’t you feel anything?” She stared at Mu Yuchen in disbelief.

“I’m not the one who did that to him. Why are you looking at me like that? Of course, I feel bad.” He then looked at Mu Xiao Cheng who was fast asleep.

Mu Lingshi chuckled as she observed their exchange. “Brother, Sister-in-law was really heartbroken just now. Stop it.”

Relationships were amazing, especially among family members.

For some reason, Mu Lingshi felt hopeful when she looked at this happy family in front of her. Life was amazing. When she knew that she had a child inside her, she could easily relate to these gentle emotions and she wondered if she could become like them in the future.

All the parents in the world must really love their children, did they not? Alas, why were her parents so cold?

The siblings had been conceived and born so irresponsibly, then left alone for decades. Her biological father did not even plan to acknowledge her true identity. All this suddenly made her feel quite sorrowful.

Mu Lingshi was a little dazed as the scenes replayed in her mind again and again while she watched the trio before her. With warmth and coldness mixed together, creating a striking contrast, it was a heartbreaking moment for her. She promised herself to ensure that her child did not experience the same in the future. She wanted her children to have a warm childhood that both Ah Mo and her never had.

She placed one hand on her flat belly while her eyes teared up slightly, and the scar on her face did not seem so obvious anymore.

Xi Xiaye noticed the changes in Mu Lingshi when she turned over, so she took a deep breath and pulled at Mu Yuchen’s sleeve slightly, signaling him to take a look at Mu Lingshi.

Mu Yuchen had mixed feelings when he noticed Mu Lingshi’s expression. “Lingshi, you’re pregnant. Don’t stay here in the hospital for too long. I’ll get Li Si to send you back. Otherwise, Grandmother might be worried about you.”

His voice brought Mu Lingshi back to her senses.

“It’s fine. Ah Quan drove me here. Grandfather and Grandmother went out to do something, so they might only be back by night. I haven’t told them about Xiao Cheng yet because I didn’t want them to worry,” Mu Lingshi replied.

Ever since she met Gu Qiwu, she had been in a bad mood. Mu Yuchen’s eyes suddenly turned cold as he said, “Ah Mo told me about what happened outside Entertainment City the other night. Believe me. I won’t let you go through that ever again.”

“Brother...” Mu Lingshi was stunned for a moment as she was not sure how to react.

“The Mu family will always back you up unless you want to walk away from us.” Mu Yuchen looked away from Mu Lingshi when he spoke and turned to his son instead.

“Brother...I know Lingtian betrayed you, but we will—”

“I don’t mind—” Mu Yuchen interrupted Mu Lingshi quickly. He put on a lonely smile that only Xi Xiaye noticed. “You have your own perspectives as well. I can only do what I think it’s the best. Li Si, please send her back.”

Li Si, who had been quiet this whole time, replied quickly, “Yes, Master! Ms. Lingshi, let’s go!”

Mu Lingshi paused as she looked at Mu Yuchen. When Xi Xiaye gave her a smile when she glanced at her, Mu Lingshi responded with a bitter smile as well. “Alright then, I’ll head home for now. I’ll tell Grandfather and Grandmother what happened when they get home.”

“Remember to give us a call once you got home,” Xi Xiaye reminded her.

Mu Lingshi then left.

Xi Xiaye took a deep breath as she watched Mu Lingshi walked towards the exit. Then, she turned towards her man and asked, “Don’t you think that Ah Shi will feel burdened when you say something like that to her?”

Mu Yuchen took a pause before he smiled. “She wouldn’t feel any better if I kept quiet either. Telling the truth might be comforting for her. I don’t want them to feel guilty since they deserve to live a free life.”

His smile dazzled Xi Xiaye, and she felt a little pained inside but did not know what to say.

“Xiaye?” he called out to her although he was looking at their son instead of her.

“Hmm?” Xi Xiaye replied as she looked at him intently.

“At moments like these, do you think that it’s tiring to be with me?”

Xi Xiaye shook her head almost instantly. “I’ve always felt close to heaven when I’m with you. Why would I be tired? I’d follow you anywhere.” She giggled.
