Yan Xinxin had just asked the question when Mo Chuxi’s handso face moved closer.
"I want to taste it—to see how the ginger tea I made turned out."
As his low, magnetic voice fell, his thin lips pressed down on hers.
Yan Xinxin held the cup of water tightly, her eyes wide open as she watched Mo Chuxi close his eyes and kiss her earnestly.
Ripples spread across her heart, carrying with them a mix of joy and sorrow.
Love...
She knew deep down that she had fallen for this man...
But this love could only be carefully hidden, with no other path available.

After drinking the brown sugar ginger tea Mo Chuxi had brewed for her, Yan Xinxin woke up after resting peacefully through the night, feeling much more refreshed.
She changed back into her own clothes, noticing that the scratches on her arm seed to be of little consequence now.
The discharge paperwork was processed quickly, and Yan Xinxin walked out of the hospital alone.
The sumr sunshine lazily and warmly bathed her body. She took a deep breath of fresh air, raised her hand to her lower abdon, felt a faint warmth, and smiled softly.
Perhaps, Mo Chuxi was right.
Her priority now was taking care of her pregnancy.
Yan Xinxin could no longer bear the trauma of losing her little angel for a second ti.
"Xinxin-jie."
Yan Xinxin thought she was imagining it, but she clearly heard Chenxi calling out to her.
Turning around, she saw several mbers of the Mu family coming out of the hospital’s main entrance. The man who had glared at and cursed at her yesterday—Mu Shaoqian—was now holding Chenxi.
Seeing the child’s soft, white face tinged with faint pink under the sunlight, Yan Xinxin felt sowhat relieved.
She stepped forward with a gentle smile.
"Chenxi, are you heading ho now?"
"Mm."
The little boy nodded, then suddenly stretched his arms out toward Yan Xinxin.
"Xinxin-jie, hug..."
"Xixi, this isn’t a good sister. Letting her hug you will lead to trouble,"
Mu Shaoqian deliberately mocked Yan Xinxin in front of everyone.
"I like Xinxin-jie..."
Chenxi emphasized seriously, his tiny hands stubbornly reaching out for Yan Xinxin.
"Hug..."
"Xixi, why are you so disobedient? If this vixen hugs you, you’ll turn into a bad child!"
Mu Shaoqian warned sternly, his tone sharp.
Standing to the side, Ning Zitong’s face darkened slightly. After a brief pause, she spoke.
"If Xixi likes her that much, then let her hug him for a while."
"Mom, what are you saying?"
Mu Shaoqian looked confused.
"How can you let this woman hug Xixi again? If sothing happens..."
"With so many people around, I’d like to see how she could possibly do anything harmful to Xixi."
Ning Zitong interrupted, her vibrant eyes sweeping over Yan Xinxin before turning to her son.
"And besides, you’re a college graduate. Stop cursing people with such vulgar language all the ti."
"..."
Mu Shaoqian stared blankly at Ning Zitong as she turned and got into the car.
What was going on?
Why did it sound like his mother was faintly defending Yan Xinxin?
Yan Xinxin was also sowhat surprised, but she didn’t think too deeply about it as she took Chenxi into her arms from Mu Shaoqian.
As the warm, soft little bundle nestled in her embrace, Yan Xinxin felt her heart grow warr too.
"Xinxin-jie, you sll so nice. Xixi really really likes you..."
Chenxi wrapped his arms around Yan Xinxin’s neck and confessed, planting a soft kiss on her cheek.
Yan Xinxin felt deeply touched. Just as she was about to return the gesture with a kiss on the boy’s cheek, a red sports car stopped in front of her.
Mu Shaoqian quickly walked over.
"Qianshui, why are you only just getting here? If you ca any later, Xixi might’ve been taken away by another woman!"
Sitting in the car, Mu Qianshui lifted her almond-shaped eyes at these words. The reason she was late was that she’d just returned from a DNA testing facility!
She glanced at Chenxi, who was cradled in Yan Xinxin’s arms. Her pupils shrank slightly.
She truly hadn’t expected it—had never imagined the DNA test would give this result!
