Chapter 668: Extra 081 Registration for Marriage (First Update)

Xin Zaozao had only been waiting at home for a short while when the management staff hurriedly arrived.

They assisted Xin Zaozao into the sedan.

An older woman consoled her, “Miss Xin, don’t worry. Generally, when the show starts, it’s a while before it really kicks in. Just stay calm. We’ll get you to the hospital soon.”

“Alright.”

“Miss Xin, should we notify any of your family members?”

“No need.” Xin Zaozao replied.

Although she wasn’t feeling anything physically at the moment, she was slightly scared.

She did not know what it’s like to give birth, only that it seemed to be frightening from what she had seen on TV shows.

“Doesn’t Miss Xin have any family?” The staff couldn’t help but ask.

“Well, no.” Xin Zaozao answered.

Sensing her reluctance to discuss further about the issue, the staff did not probe further.

The sedan quickly arrived at the hospital.

Xin Zaozao had already contacted her obstetrician.

Upon arrival at the hospital, she was immediately sent to the delivery room.

After examining her, the doctor announced, “It’s probably physiological bleeding in the late stages of pregnancy. There’s currently no sign of labor.”

“Ah?” Xin Zaozao looked at the doctor.

“But bleeding often indicates the onset of labor. It’s only a matter of time. Given that your due date has already passed, the baby could come anytime. I recommend that you stay in the hospital. There’s no need to return home.”

Xin Zaozao thought for a moment before accepting the doctor’s suggestion.

She asked, “When will I give birth?”

“Don’t worry, Miss Xin. The baby will come when it’s ready,”

“Alright.” Xin Zaozao nodded.

The staff helped Xin Zaozao out of the delivery room.

When they reached the door, she saw Mu Cidian waiting for her in the corridor.

She frowned.

She hadn’t notified anyone.

Not even Song Lifei.

Quite excited, Mu Cidian stepped forward, “How are you feeling?”

Xin Zaozao glanced at Mu Cidian but gave no reply.

Seeing that she seemed fine, Mu Cidian couldn’t help asking, “Where’s the baby?”

Why doesn’t he see the baby?

The management staff had just called him to say that Xin Zaozao was about to give birth.

But where’s the baby?

“Sir, the baby hasn’t been born yet,” the nurse quickly explained.

“Oh.” Mu Cidian finally made sense of it.

“Do you think I’m laying eggs? As if it’ll be that quick.” Xin Zaozao could hardly hold back her sarcasm.

That seemed to have hit Mu Cidian.

The nurse laughed, “It’s common for first-time fathers. Be understanding.”

Mu Cidian pursed his lips.

Xin Zaozao seemed to laugh a little before continuing her way to the ward.

Naturally, Mu Cidian followed her in.

After delivering some precautions, the nurse left.

Only the two of them were left in the late night.

Xin Zaozao said, “The doctor said the bleeding is physiological and the baby isn’t due yet. You can leave.”

“Did the doctor say when the baby will be born?” Mu Cidian shot back.

“No.”

“Then the baby could be born at any time.”

“No.”

“Or it could be in a few days.”

“What are you trying to say?” Xin Zaozao frowned.

“As the baby could be born at any time, I can’t leave.”

“Mu Cidian.”

“It’s my duty to be there when my baby is born.”

“…” Xin Zaozao looked displeased.

“I am the baby’s father.”

Xin Zaozao no longer wanted to argue about their relationship. She painstakingly turned around and fell asleep.

After a long night, she was worn out.

Only after seeing Xin Zaozao fall asleep did Mu Cidian turn off the ward light, leaving a dim light on, and lay down on the sofa nearby.

The silent night was surprisingly serene.

And surprisingly warm.

Mu Cidian looked out at the night sky.

Their little princess was about to meet them.

…

The next day.

When Xin Zaozao opened her eyes, Mu Cidian was fast asleep, curled up on the sofa.

Despite his height, the small sofa appeared to provide ample comfort as he slept peacefully.

Xin Zaozao felt no sympathy.

It was Mu Cidian’s choice to stay. She had nothing to do with it.

She lifted the blankets and got out of bed.

The first thing to do every morning was definitely to use the toilet.

As soon as she stepped onto the floor.

Mu Cidian woke up.

As always, his senses were sharp.

He turned his gaze to Xin Zaozao, watching her get out of bed, he swiftly got up from the sofa, “Where are you going?”

Xin Zaozao did not respond to him.

Mu Cidian simply assisted her.

“I can do it by myself.”

“I’m not tired.”

“…” Who cares if you’re tired or not.

“Let go of me.” Xin Zaozao looked a bit irritated.

“Where are you going?”

“To the washroom.” Xin Zaozao replied straightforwardly.

Mu Cidian looked at her.

“To pee.” Xin Zaozao was even more blunt.

Mu Cidian’s face flushed slightly.

He said, “Don’t worry, I won’t look.”

Xin Zaozao felt that her daughter might be kicked out by Mu Cidian.

Mu Cidian steadied Xin Zaozao as she entered the washroom, then closed the door for her.

After using the toilet and freshening up, Xin Zaozao opened the door. Mu Cidian was waiting at the doorway.

He reached out to help her.

Xin Zaozao did not reject him.

Because it was useless to reject him anyway.

Mu Cidian helped her to the bed.

He asked, “What do you want for breakfast?”

“Anything is fine.”

“I’ll ask the attendant to send some over.”

Xin Zaozao nodded.

Mu Cidian ordered a nutritious breakfast.

The food was promptly delivered by the attendant.

A series of exquisite dishes were arranged in front of Xin Zaozao.

Mu Cidian also sat down to eat with her.

But mostly, he just watched her eat.

“Why are you watching me?” Xin Zaozao frowned at him.

“Didn’t think your appetite would be so good.” Mu Cidian said openly.

Xin Zaozao was speechless. “I’m eating for two.”

“You’ve worked hard.” Mu Cidian suddenly said.

Xin Zaozao’s eyes flickered slightly.

Mu Cidian said no more.

Between the two silent individuals, there seemed to be lingering affection, an indescribable feeling that left a mark in each of their hearts.

After breakfast.

Xin Zaozao lay in bed, while Mu Cidian sat on a sofa.

Mu Cidian never stopped.

He was either peeling fruits for Xin Zaozao, helping her get up and walk, or he was following the doctor’s orders and conducting exercises for a smooth childbirth. He was always busy with something.

In the afternoon.

Wu Qing brought a laptop to Xin Zaozao.

The moment Wu Qing saw Mu Cidian in the ward, she was so astonished that she almost screamed out, “General Manager?”

“Hush.” Mu Cidian gestured her to be quiet.

Because at that moment, Xin Zaozao had just fallen asleep.

“Why are you here?” Wu Qing asked softly, “Why are you with the chairwoman?”

Mu Cidian didn’t respond.

In an instant, realization dawned on Wu Qing, “Is the chairwoman’s child yours?”

Mu Cidian chose to remain silent.

This made Wu Qing even more shocked, “General Manager, you’re absolutely incredible! How did you get the chairwoman pregnant?”

Mu Cidian couldn’t stand the chatter any longer. He quickly changed the subject, “What are you here for?”

“I brought the chairman a laptop as she requested.” Wu Qing replied.

“Why did you bring it here?”

“For work.” Wu Qing answered hastily, “For years, the chairwoman could not be separated from work even for a minute. I guess she will continue to handle work up until the delivery.”

Mu Cidian stayed silent, just listening.

Xin Zaozao had also awakened by this time.

She saw Wu Qing chatting with Mu Cidian.

She hesitated for a moment, “Secretary Wu.”

Startled, Wu Qing immediately stood straight, “Madam Chair, you’re awake?”

“Yes.”

“I’ve brought the laptop you asked for.” Wu Qing quickly placed the laptop on Xin Zaozao’s bedside table.

Xin Zaozao gave a nod before asking, “Is everything in the company being managed well by Song Lifei?”

“Very good. Mr. Song has everything under control. You can rest assured and focus on your childbirth.”

“Okay.” Xin Zaozao responded.

She casually picked up the laptop next to her and placed it on the small table over the hospital bed, just as she was about to open it…

Mu Cidian snapped the laptop shut forcefully.

Xin Zaozao looked at Mu Cidian, “What are you doing?”

“Since the work has already been handed over, I don’t see why you need to deal with it at this moment.”

“That’s my business.”

Mu Cidian didn’t listen to Xin Zaozao’s words and took the laptop away directly.

Xin Zaozao glared angrily at Mu Cidian.

Wu Qing wished she could disappear from the place.

She felt like a volcano was about to erupt, and she feared she would be the unfortunate bystander to get involved.

“Give it back to me!” Xin Zaozao’s voice raised.

“Return the laptop.” Mu Cidian ordered Wu Qing, his tone was particularly firm.

Wu Qing seemed to glimpse the dominating and super strong persona of her former manager.

She quickly took the laptop from Mu Cidian, “Yes.”

“Wu Qing!” Xin Zaozao called out to her.

Wu Qing’s heart was trembling!

When immortals fight, could they not involve mortals?

“Madam Chair, why don’t you listen to the general manager’s advice? He’s doing this for your own good. You’re about to give birth, this is not good for the baby. Don’t worry, Mr. Song on the other side…”

“Is Mu Cidian still your general manager? Exactly whose orders are you following?!” Xin Zaozao’s tone was cold.

Wu Qing had rarely seen the chairwoman in such a state before.

She was about to return the laptop with both hands resignedly.

It seemed that she was destined to be tormented that day, she accepted her fate.

Just as Wu Qing was about to step forward.

Mu Cidian suddenly picked Xin Zaozao up.

Xin Zaozao was surprised.

“Let me down.”

Under Xin Zaozao’s resistance, Mu Cidian stabilized his grip and said, “If you continue like this, I won’t promise that we both won’t fall.”

Xin Zaozao gritted her teeth.

She was always being threatened by Mu Cidian.

Every single time, he threatened her in an instant.

Carrying Xin Zaozao, Mu Cidian walked out of the ward and as he was leaving, he didn’t forget to throw out a sentence, “Take back the laptop!”

His tone was extraordinarily domineering!

Wu Qing watched as Mu Cidian carried Xin Zaozao away.

Suddenly, Mu Cidian seemed taller and stronger.

His posture was so alpha, too alpha!

Mu Cidian carried Xin Zaozao and left the hospital.

Xin Zaozao dare not move, her only option was to cling to his neck while feeling frustrated.

Mu Cidian put Xin Zaozao into the car.

“Where are you taking me?”

Mu Cidian didn’t answer.

Xin Zaozao was upset and didn’t want to talk with him either.

Mu Cidian took Xin Zaozao back to her house.

Xin Zaozao was utterly baffled.

Mu Cidian once again carried Xin Zaozao out of the car.

Xin Zaozao wanted to strangle Mu Cidian.

Seeing the way Mu Cidian and Xin Zaozao were, an old man outside couldn’t help but ask, “Did she give birth?”

“No!” Xin Zaozao answered irritably to the security guard.

The security guard was taken aback, then started to laugh as he watched their retreating figures, “Ah, youth is so wonderful.”

Only the young dare to fuss.

For people their age, they could only retire and enjoy their old age.

Mu Cidian carried Xin Zaozao back to her house.

Xin Zaozao felt like she was about to explode in anger.

She asked, “Why did you bring me back here?”

Does Mu Cidian have a mental illness?

Does he have some sort of neurological disorder?

She was about to give birth.

And he brought her back here.

Did he want her to die?

Mu Cidian asked, “Where is your household registration booklet?”

“What?” Xin Zaozao asked.

“Your household registration booklet.”

“What do you need my household registration booklet for?” Xin Zaozao looked at him.

“For marriage registration.”

“What?!” Xin Zaozao’s anger flared up.

Mu Cidian took out a prenuptial agreement, “Take a look.”

Xin Zaozao, holding back her anger.

Still, she opened it and looked through it.

The prenuptial agreement clearly stated that after their marriage, Mu Cidian was not entitled to any shares of Xin Group. Everything, whether from before or after their marriage, was Xin Zaozao’s premarital property and had nothing to do with Mu Cidian. More importantly, after their marriage, 80% of Mu Cidian’s income would automatically belong to Xin Zaozao. In the event of a divorce, regardless of the reason or who was at fault, Mu Cidian would only be able to leave with the clothes on his back.

Xin Zaozao just stared.

Saw every single clause.

All the clauses that were in place to protect her interest.

After a while, she finally said, “What kind of plot are you scheming again?”
