Sheng Jiayu settled peacefully in the Xu Family’s Old Mansion. The next day, Xu Qingru accompanied her to a check-up, confirming that she was indeed pregnant.
Looking at the paper in her hand, Sheng Jiayu felt a kind of indescribable excitent. She rembered seeing a serene yet strong excitent in Tang Yanqi’s eyes when she was pregnant. Back then, Sheng Jiayu only felt envy towards her but never imagined what that feeling would be like.
And now, as this event truly unfolded in her own life, Sheng Jiayu felt she suddenly understood the aning of "won are innately tender, but beco strong as mothers."
Sheng Jiayu peacefully recuperated at the old mansion, intending to greet her wedding and their child in the most perfect state.
Sheng Jiayu inford Tang Yanqi and Xue Lu about her pregnancy over the phone, but she kept it from Mu Ke.
Everyone was happy for her. Sheng Jiayu felt it was one of the happiest monts in her life. She spent her days poring over pregnancy guides and childcare books and even stopped visiting the bookstore.
While she was happy, on the other side, Doctor Mu was rather vexed.
By his calculations, it had been almost a week since he had seen Sheng Jiayu. Not only that, when he called her – out of ten calls – she would pick up no more than three; the others were either answered by Xu Qingru or went unanswered.
Texting her was sowhat more responsive, yet despite this, Mu Ke felt quite uneasy. But he couldn’t go against Xu Qingru’s words, making him even more upset that Sheng Jiayu didn’t stand by his side this ti.
Coming out of the operating room, Mu Ke tidied up in his office, his thoughts drifting to Sheng Jiayu. It was Su Chen’s call that snapped him back to reality.
"Weren’t we supposed to try on the suits today? Where should we et?"
Su Chen’s boisterous voice ca over the phone, reminding Mu Ke about the suits he ordered that had arrived, and today was for trying them on.
Providing the address, Mu Ke steadied himself, glancing briefly before ssaging Sheng Jiayu: [I’m going to try on clothes, want to co?]
After sending the ssage, Mu Ke changed outfits and went out.
It was already afternoon, nearing the end of work hours. The roads were a bit congested, and traffic jams only served to worsen an already restless mood.
Arriving at the destination, Mu Ke’s face darkened noticeably. Su Chen had arrived before him and was montarily startled at Mu Ke’s appearance before jokingly asked, "What’s wrong with you? Who made you mad? You’re about to be a groom, so gloomy?"
Mu Ke threw him a indifferent look without responding, but clearly, his expression soured further.
Su Chen didn’t think too much of it, assuming it was just the traffic on the way.
He went to try on the best man’s outfit first, while Mu Ke sat on the sofa outside.
The clothes were bespoke, but for so reason, Su Chen’s outfit was a bit off-size, too small and appeared tight.
Standing before the mirror, Su Chen frowned, "Bro, does this seem a bit small to you?"
Mu Ke cast him an indifferent glance, got up to try his own suit without looking at Su Chen.
His mind was occupied with his own matters, lacking the leisure to care about Su Chen’s outfit.
It had been more than an hour since he texted Sheng Jiayu, yet he still hadn’t received a reply.
