Wang Yuan tried to placate him, "Calm down. After all, she’s still young and insensible. She’ll get better with ti."
But Min Xin wouldn’t listen. His mind was preoccupied with Zhou Yu. He had no room for Gu Mingzhu.
Struggling for a while, he said, "No, Wang Yuan, help up. I need to see Zhou Yu."
Wang Yuan hesitated before speaking softly, "Well, I could think of a way, but your body can’t take much strain..."
Min Xin glared, "What do you think I’m going to do?"
Wang Yuan gave an awkward laugh. "I an you shouldn’t move around or get agitated. You’re overthinking things."
Min Xin closed his eyes briefly, then opened them and gritted his teeth. "Help up."
Wang Yuan imdiately helped him. At the doorway, he called over one of his subordinates and whispered so instructions.
The subordinate imdiately went to carry them out. Wang Yuan supported his master. "Let’s go slowly, we need to be careful..."
He was trying to be cautious, but Min Xin couldn’t wait. Right now, his heart was burning with anxiety. Zhou Yu seed fine, but he hadn’t asked in detail. Was there anything wrong? How was the baby?
So, despite the pain in his body, his steps were still quite hurried. Wang Yuan kept saying, "Slow down, she’s right there!"
Min Xin nodded. "Right."
But after a mont, his pace quickened again, leaving Wang Yuan at a loss between laughter and tears.
Finally, they arrived at the VIP ward on the top floor. Wang Yuan had already given notice, so the guards at the door didn’t stop them. However, Min Xin didn’t push the door open directly. Instead, he stood at the entrance, looking through the glass at the person inside...
Zhou Yu was sitting on the sofa in a long dress, flipping through a book. Her tea-colored long hair was draped over her shoulders, partially obscuring her face and softening her features. Moreover, she was reading a parenting manual.
Min Xin rembered that she had beco very cold after their fallout. She rarely had these soft, quiet monts. Whenever he returned ho, she would imdiately put up her defenses upon seeing him, unwilling even to feign civility.
Now, perhaps because she was about to beco a mother, she was very different from before. Had she been truly unhappy all these years? Or did she genuinely want a child? Even if this child was from soone she detested, did she still like it?
Min Xin’s Adam’s apple bobbed as he gazed almost greedily at the person inside.
Wang Yuan thoughtfully opened the door for him. Min Xin walked in, his steps light, afraid of startling her.
The head nurse was the first to spot him. She looked a little surprised, but quickly rembered Mr. Wang’s instructions, smiled, and led the two other nurses out, closing the door behind them.
Wang Yuan, ever so tactful, said, "Thank you for taking care of your madam."
A mischievous young nurse teased, "Isn’t Miss Zhou divorced?"
Wang Yuan rubbed his head. "The divorce was just a formality. Their hearts haven’t separated. And now, with a child together, they’re even closer."
The two young nurses covered their mouths and giggled. "Mr. Min is clearly whipped."
The head nurse shot them a stern look, and they fell silent.
Then, the head nurse interjected, "Why are you blurting out such blatant truths?"
The three of them were montarily speechless.
Inside the hospital room, Zhou Yu finally sensed the excessive quietness. When she looked up, she saw Min Xin standing there, gazing at her with a sowhat fervent look.
Zhou Yu was taken aback. "What are you doing here?"
"I ca to see you." His body ached unbearably, and his voice was hoarse when he spoke.
Zhou Yu lowered her head, revealing a sliver of her slender, fair neck. She was impeccably well-maintained; her skin looked exceptionally delicate, and she seed to glow with an inner light.
Min Xin’s throat constricted again.
Zhou Yu’s fingers gently stroked the book’s cover, as if she were carefully considering what to say next. After a mont, she said, "I’m fine. Thank you."
She spoke politely, yet with considerable distance.
Min Xin didn’t respond, just silently watched her.
His gaze was so fervent it was as if he wanted to devour her whole. Zhou Yu had no choice but to speak again. "I heard you rushed in to save and got injured. That’s why I went to see you."
Min Xin suddenly took two steps forward. Zhou Yu, wary, instinctively shrank back.
But he quickly reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
Zhou Yu tried to struggle free, but the mont she moved, he sucked in a sharp breath. She looked up in surprise to see his face contorted in extre pain.
Zhou Yu didn’t dare to move.
Was he in a lot of pain?
Min Xin closed his eyes, his face twisted in a grimace. "Don’t move."
Zhou Yu froze. After a long mont, his voice ca from above her. "These past few days, have you been well?"
Zhou Yu humd in affirmation. "Quite well."
He gritted his teeth. "I haven’t been well at all."
She said "Oh," then added, "I thought you were doing quite well, even picking up a convenient child."
Min Xin lowered his head. "Do you care?"
Zhou Yu shook her head.
He was extrely close to her, his voice raspy. "Yuyu, I sent her away. I don’t care about the child."
Zhou Yu nodded with understanding. "I know. You’ve said it before—children are no different from what’s flushed down the toilet."
Min Xin couldn’t bear it. "Zhou Yu, who taught you to speak so crudely?"
Zhou Yu’s voice was low. "I heard you say it."
Min Xin was speechless.
After a long pause, he finally said, "I was talking about others, not you."
Zhou Yu said softly again, "Didn’t you always say you didn’t want children? This child has nothing to do with you. Just pretend it’s been flushed down the toilet."
Min Xin felt like he was going mad. His little fairy, who had always enjoyed reading French and Italian literature, who loved all kinds of art, was now constantly talking about toilets!
Right now, he just wanted to find a toilet and shove Gu Anxi, the one who taught her this, into it!
