Chapter 271: Chapter 271: The Mystery

If just moments ago, Qiao Yu had appeared like a statue in Su Mu’s eyes, then at the news of her own pregnancy, Su Mu, in turn, became a statue in Qiao Yu’s eyes. She stared at Qiao Yu without blinking, as if he had said something incomprehensible.

Seeing Su Mu like this, Qiao Yu smiled faintly:

"Don’t believe it?"

Su Mu slowly came back to her senses, but still looked at Qiao Yu incredulously, "Really? Am I really pregnant?"

"Yes, you’re pregnant."

Qiao Yu had more to say, but he swallowed his words, as he truly didn’t know how to continue.

"But I just had my period, how is that possible?"

"That wasn’t a period, it was a sign of a threatened miscarriage."

"Miscarriage?"

"Don’t worry, there’s no problem for now."

Supporting Su Mu back to the hospital bed, this time she obediently didn’t refuse. Just then a nurse brought in new medical needles, which Qiao Yu took over. Dismissing the nurse, he personally injected Su Mu. His technique was good, but still, Su Mu subconsciously shrank back when the needle pierced her vein.

Qiao Yu lifted his eyes to her:

"Does it hurt?"

Su Mu shook her head, "No, it doesn’t hurt."

"You should rest well these next few days. The chief obstetrician treating you said that because there are symptoms of bleeding, you temporarily shouldn’t get out of bed. You need to rest in bed completely, for your sake, for the child, and for Shinian."

Su Mu nodded like a child.

Previously, she hadn’t wanted a child because she felt that the timing wasn’t right for her and Fu Shinian to welcome a new life. They had even had a month-long cold war over it, until now, at this moment, Su Mu still didn’t think it was a good time, but the child had come anyway.

Silently, without any forewarning, it had settled in her stomach.

She had chosen to be a mother, and Su Mu felt fortunate, but even more so, she felt indebted.

Because she was utterly unprepared, and she didn’t even think she could provide the best care. She had been through too much lately, both physically and emotionally, and she worried it wasn’t good for the child.

Noticing her hesitation, Qiao Yu spoke up anxiously:

"You don’t want it?"

Hearing this, Su Mu looked at Qiao Yu, then shook her head:

"No, if I weren’t pregnant now, I wouldn’t choose to have a child at this time. But now that she is here, I have no right to refuse. No matter what, she is my child."

Qiao Yu heaved a sigh of relief:

"That’s good."

Su Mu fell silent, lost in thought, and Qiao Yu, having nothing else to do, simply sat by her side, until Su Mu spoke up:

"So you’re saying I’ve been pregnant for two months? Last month on the 18th, I also bled. At that time, I thought it was my period. Now that I think about it, it wasn’t. That was the time Shinian called you, do you remember?"

Aside from their reunion the night before last, the last time Su Mu and Fu Shinian had shared a bed was during those days he had confined her in late December. So the pregnancy could only have been from that time. This child, having been in her body for merely two months, had already had two instances of bleeding, which worried her greatly.

"What did the doctor say? Is the situation not so good?"

Qiao Yu looked at Su Mu’s expression, which was awkward for a moment, but he didn’t know what to say. As Su Mu was puzzled by his demeanor, the door to the hospital room was suddenly knocked, and a nurse came in:

"Dr. Qiao, the patient in bed 8 has a situation. Please come and check."

"Okay, I’ll go now." Qiao Yu almost immediately got up from his seat, his steps toward the door somewhat hurried and fleeing, but he didn’t forget to instruct Su Mu, "You rest well, I’ll come to see you after I’m done. Don’t overthink things."

Su Mu watched him, and despite the confusion, obediently nodded:

"Okay."

But Su Mu hadn’t expected that once Qiao Yu left, he wouldn’t come back for the entire day. It was Wen Han who showed up in the evening with Wen Shaoyuan.

Su Mu was quite surprised that Wen Han knew she had been injured and was in the hospital:

"How did you come here?"

Wen Han sat down in the chair next to Su Mu:

"I heard you were injured and in the hospital, so naturally, I came to see you."

"I’m fine."

Wen Shaoyuan didn’t understand what the two were talking about. All he cared about was how Sister Su was doing and what serious illness she had caught to warrant a hospital stay.

He let go of Wen Han’s hand and ran to the side of Su Mu’s bed, cautiously avoiding the IV as he grabbed her slightly cold wrist:

"Sister Su, what’s wrong with you? Why are you sick? Is it because you didn’t eat properly? I’ve really been listening to you since we last saw each other, see, haven’t I gotten fatter?"

Wen Shaoyuan wasn’t lying; despite it being less than half a month, his face had indeed become more rounded since they last saw each other, which involuntarily brought to Su Mu’s mind the unformed child in her belly. Even though it was just a tiny embryo, Su Mu couldn’t help but start imagining what the child would look like years later.

Would it be a boy, or a girl? If it were a boy, maybe he would be like Wen Shaoyuan? A thoughtful, intelligent, understanding good child; if it were a girl, maybe she would be lively and mischievous, but it didn’t matter. She believed that she and Fu Shinian would like her very, very much.

"Sister Su is fine, just caught a little cold recently."

Wen Shaoyuan blinked, feeling that something was not quite right, but he didn’t say anything more. Instead, he lowered his head and gently blew on the spot where the needle was inserted on Su Mu’s hand:

"Sister Su, does it hurt? I’ll blow on it for you. When I get shots, Grandma does this for me, and then it doesn’t hurt anymore."

Looking at such a sensible Wen Shaoyuan, Su Mu couldn’t help but smile, raising her hand to touch his hair:

"With Shaoyuan’s blowing, Sister Su doesn’t hurt at all."

Perhaps knowing that the two adults had matters to discuss, Wen Shaoyuan quieted down after asking all the questions in his heart, lying on the side of the bed and holding Su Mu’s wrist, he occasionally blew gently on it.

After watching quietly for a few seconds, Su Mu looked up at Wen Han:

"How did you know I was hospitalized?"

"You disappeared from the bank, Fu Shinian accessed the bank’s surveillance footage and found your encounter with me. He called me to ask some questions, and that’s when I learned you were missing. Later, Fu Shinian gave me the bank’s surveillance video, and combined with the police, we traced you to the abandoned parking lot in the suburbs."

Su Mu looked at him:

"So, you saved me?"

"No, by the time the police and I arrived, Song Zhengxian was already dead, Han Lu was on the run, and you were unconscious," said Wen Han, looking at the surprised Su Mu. "Do you have any recollection of what happened then?"

Su Mu shook her head:

"No, I woke up in the hospital, with no idea what had happened."
