Where’s Cheng Zhirang?
Mu Qiu silently glanced at Cheng Zhirang, who was driving, and replied to her, "He’s right next to ."
"....." Zhao Yu’s voice imdiately softened, "Sorry, I was about to ask where on earth he went. What’s going on with you guys?"
"It’s a long story—"
"Then make it short. You sneaking out to the gynecological hospital in the middle of the night... could it be that your life is too harmonious?"
"... Harmonious, my ass," Mu Qiu was speechless, "It’s about Sister Su Jin. You rember my dad’s favored student Zhou Jilin, right? His ex-girlfriend."
"Zhou Jilin? The na sounds like a domineering CEO’s."
"Were you bitten by a zombie? You t him a couple of years ago. I’ve told you about his love-hate drama with Sister Su Jin."
"Oh, oh, oh, sorry, my thoughts are a bit scattered. So you’re saying Sister Su Jin ca back to the country and is pregnant? Whose child is it?"
Mu Qiu thought these were stupid questions and said speechlessly:
"Of course, it’s Zhou Jilin’s! Who else could it be?!"
Cheng Zhirang’s parking maneuver paused for a mont.
Zhao Yu huffed, "Don’t get worked up! I was just confirming. After all, coming back pregnant after going abroad, who wouldn’t think twice? Okay, let analyze the situation—
She got pregnant accidentally but doesn’t want Zhou Jilin to know, so she ca to you for help, and you snuck out in the middle of the night to see her, then Cheng Zhirang ca to pick you up...
No, isn’t there a missing link? Let refresh and think again."
Mu Qiu really wanted to hang up on her.
The car had already entered the underground parking lot of Yishan District. Cheng Zhirang got out of the car, walked over to her side, opened the car door to help her out.
"Be careful."
Mu Qiu shook her head at him and reached out her hand for him to hold.
The two took the elevator directly from the first basent level to the top floor, while Zhao Yu finally refreshed the latest gossip.
"Brother Lin is still so handso! A princess carry, wow!"
"...That’s the highlight you got from this?"
"Well, of course not. The news has now evolved from #suspected pregnancy# #Cheng Zhirang Mu Qiu’s relationship rumored to change due to baby# to...
Let see, it’s changed to #Cheng Zhirang sends off brother-in-law# #Cheng Zhirang Mu Qiu embrace at the hospital#.
So people struggle to stay awake to boost their idol’s rankings, while others are starring in idol dramas in the middle of the night on the street. Really, comparably speaking, it drives one mad."
"What do you an, sends off brother-in-law?"
Zhao Yu repeated: "Cheng Zhirang, leaning on the car door, cheerfully sends off brother-in-law. If the background wasn’t the gynecological hospital but a restaurant, the gossip would probably say #Cheng Zhirang Mu Qiu et the parents#."
It’s indeed ti to et the parents... No, that’s not the point.
"Now the whole situation is analyzed as, I am not pregnant, I went to the hospital alone in the middle of the night to see Sister Su Jin, and in the process helped reunite them. Got it?"
Zhao Yu: "Got it. But why did Cheng Zhirang co so late to pick you up? Aren’t you living together?"
"No, only occasionally. I’ve got a little place," as the topic reached this point, Mu Qiu perked up,
"Your birthday is coming up, right? I bought you a really pretty dress, how about flying over after work on Friday, and we’ll wear pretty dresses and go to Disney!"
"This! Sounds! Aweso! Sugar daddy, is this all for real? You won’t turn back on your word tomorrow morning, right?"
"Of course not, as your father, I speak with great responsibility!"
Just as she said this, Cheng Zhirang opened the door to the room and shook his head helplessly at the conversation he overheard.
Do all girls these days like calling each other father and daughter?
He entered the master bedroom, changed the sheets, then closed all the curtains in the room and living room, turned on a soft light, and waited for Mu Qiu to finish her call.
Mu Qiu was still swearing to Zhao Yu, "I promise, if you ask again tomorrow when you wake up, I’ll say the sa thing. Otherwise, let lose my daughter Zhao Yu."
Zhao Yu: "Thank you, my Yan Shen! I’m heading to Hai City this weekend to party!"
"? What’s it got to do with your Yan Shen?"
"My Yan Shen is blessing , so I can have a friend who says ’Don’t forget each other in prosperity’!!!"
"... You quickly go to sleep; I feel like you’re not very clear-headed."
"Then hurry up and spend a romantic night with Cheng Zhirang. Fight harder, tomorrow I want to see news like #Cheng Zhirang Mu Qiu living together passionately#, okay? Goodnight."
"...Goodnight."
What kind of salty and spicy English is that.
Hanging up the phone, she walked over to Cheng Zhirang who was sitting on the sofa waiting for her.
"Has Sister Chen Song released the statent?"
"It’s out," he pulled her hand gently, bringing her into his embrace, handing her the phone, "Want to see?"
Mu Qiu imdiately clicked to take a look.
[Cheng ZhirangV: This is our private matter, please don’t pay too much attention.]
Business-like, formal, as if the normal life routine was disturbed after work.
"Should I post one too, what do you think?" She leaned against him and asked, looking up.
"Sure. Just keep it simple."
Mu Qiu thought for a mont, considered a few explanations, and ultimately chose the simplest.
[Mu QiuV: ...I’m not pregnant. Gynecological hospitals don’t just serve pregnant won; they also accommodate patients’ families, okay.]
Is that clear enough? The tone seems appropriate too—less helpless annoyance, more gentle good humor.
"That’s good," Cheng Zhirang said, after reviewing it, "It’s already late; it’s ti to rest."
Her face showed so signs of exhaustion.
Mu Qiu nodded, reaching out to hug him and asked, "Did you co from Half Mountain’s place? Do you have anything useful here?"
Cheng Zhirang held her and stood up, walking towards the room.
"Yes. Clothes and other daily necessities are ready. Are you tired?"
"A bit."
"Next ti, let take you out at night; it’s too dangerous alone."
"I didn’t want to bother you; you were quite busy today."
"If you feel like you’re bothering with everything, then I’m no different from anyone else." Cheng Zhirang settled her onto the bed and leaned on both sides to kiss her.
After a gentle kiss, he said softly, "Being together ans being ready to be disturbed by you at any ti. Aren’t you prepared for that?"
Mu Qiu was a little stunned: "But, you haven’t disturbed anywhere..."
"I have. When you’re with , you seldom do your own things genuinely; you’re always considering how not to let invade your life too much. I’ve already disrupted you."
Mu Qiu’s lips twitched up, awkwardly smiling twice: "Why suddenly, suddenly talk about this now?"
"Because I want you to move in with ."
But her attitude clearly indicated she was reluctant.
Clearly, she showed she liked him, cried so hard back then, yet still gazed at him with clean eyes wanting to be together.
Whenever sothing ca up, she always considered how he might be affected negatively, but when it ca to this mont, she hesitated instead.
