Lin Qing was shocked when she saw Mu Li's actions and bit her lips even tighter.
Mu Li helped her put on her shoes and stood up. Seeing her biting her lip, he asked, "Are you trying to tell me with this expression that you are so moved that you are about to cry?"
Lin Qing pouted: "I'm not that easily moved."
She said and walked back to the kitchen.
Mu Li sat down on the sofa and crossed his legs. He leaned over to take the cigarette box on the coffee table, but when his hand was halfway out, he suddenly saw Lin Qing coming out of the kitchen, so he withdrew his hand.
Lin Qing brought another glass of water and placed it on the coffee table. He glanced at the box of cigarettes and asked, "You want to smoke again?"
Mu Li glanced at her and said, "No."
Lin Qing frowned, picked up the cigarette box and lighter with her small hand, and threw them into the trash can with a thud.
"No smoking."
Mu Li watched the box of cigarettes fall into the trash can and leaned back: "It's okay if you don't smoke. I'll smoke one less cigarette and you'll kiss me for ten minutes."
"Why does it take ten minutes?" Normally, a kiss from him would make her faint. If it took ten minutes, wouldn't she stop breathing
Mu Li pointed to the cigarette box in the trash can: "One cigarette, I will smoke for ten minutes."
"..." Lin Qing didn't know what he wanted to do again, and stared at him suspiciously for a long time, "Mu Li, are you really not feeling well recently?"
Mu Li's eyes turned cold, and he pulled Lin Qing to the sofa, lowered his head to kiss her: "It's quite uncomfortable, I feel uncomfortable when I see you."
“…” She didn’t do anything wrong, why do I feel uncomfortable when I see her
Lin Qing's lips were bitten hard, so she couldn't open her mouth to ask him. She could only let him release his emotions on her.
She knew that Xu Yuan's pregnancy also upset him, but she was increasingly confused about what he was thinking. If he had only met Xu Yuan because of the child, he wouldn't have felt that nervous in the hospital, but thinking about it carefully, Lin Qing didn't think Mu Li had anything special about Xu Yuan.
Confused by these thoughts, Lin Qing came back to his senses and realized that Mu Li had hurt his lips.
“Don’t use so much force…” Lin Qing punched Mu Li’s shoulder with his small fist, tickling Mu Li’s heart so much that it softened.
"Don't move, or I'll make you move non-stop." Mu Li's thin lips finally pulled away, and his breathing gradually became heavy.
Lin Qing sensed the danger signal, pretended not to see it, pushed him back, and immediately ran to the kitchen: "What do you want to eat? I'll make it now."
Mu Li's face darkened: "Come here."
Lin Qing quickly rushed into the kitchen and closed the small door tightly.
Mu Li sat back on the sofa and read the information from the doctor again. It said that judging from Xu Yuan's condition, she did not pay attention to protecting the child. Did she want to abort the child from the beginning
But isn't it said that women have maternal instincts, and even if they say they want to abort the child, they will subconsciously protect the child
Actually, this matter was a bit strange from the beginning. Xu Yuan had not contacted him often during this period, but suddenly she showed him a piece of paper and told him that she was pregnant. And Xu Yuan's attitude, she could have used this child to threaten him, but she took the initiative to take it away that day.
Mu Li narrowed his dark eyes. Could it be that because the child was not his, Xu Yuan was worried that he would find out after the birth
It seems possible, but it doesn't explain Xu Yuan's lifestyle which is not like that of a pregnant woman.
Mu Li couldn't figure it out, maybe Xu Yuan's original ideas were different from others. She used to be a very independent person. When she was in college, she couldn't get along with others more than once, and Xu Yuan complained to him many times about this.
She looked down on those people who were obsessed with love and thought that if she were in his shoes, she would not be so indecisive. So after graduating from university, Xu Yuan suddenly broke up with him and went abroad because she saw an opportunity for better development.
Mu Li unconsciously fell into deep thought, thinking back to that past. Now thinking about it, it really has been too long, so long that it feels like watching someone else's story.
He didn't remember what he felt at that time, nor did he remember what happened between them. Looking back now, Mu Li even doubted whether he had really loved Xu Yuan before.
At that time, his good brother died in a mission, so he vowed to take good care of Xu Yuan. At first, Xu Yuan was unwilling, but over time, the two naturally got along with each other.
At that time, he always felt that it was not important whether there was passion in a relationship, but when he met Lin Qing later, he realized that a relationship without a heartbeat could not be love. Perhaps he was just a responsibility to Xu Yuan, and when Xu Yuan chose to leave him, that responsibility was automatically lifted.
Mu Li rubbed his temples, which were throbbing with pain when he thought about them too much. He obviously didn't feel anything about the past anymore, but he still felt an inexplicable emotion when he thought about Xu Yuan.
Logically, he shouldn't be like this.
When he was receiving that crappy hypnosis treatment, he was not sure whether it was the right thing to do. After all, his identity was special, and if it really affected his resistance over time, others would be able to control his thoughts at will.
But when he thought of Lin Qing who was hoping that he would regain his memory, he hardened his heart.
This time when Old Man Bai comes back, he will solve this problem first. He can't keep doing this weird thing. Even Lin Qing has noticed something recently.
Mu Li thought for a long time, and Lin Qing finally poked his head out of the kitchen: "Mu Li, how about shrimp and corn for dinner?"
Mu Li asked without even raising his head: "Don't you dislike eating shrimp?"
There was no response for a long time after he finished speaking. Mu Li then looked over. Lin Qing stared at him for a long time, pursed his lips and said nothing. After a while, he slammed the door shut with a bang.
Mu Li frowned. Why was he so angry for no reason
He was about to get up and take a look when he remembered what he had just said. It was not Lin Qing who didn't like shrimp, but Xu Yuan.
Lin Qing, who was once her best friend, must have known this.
Mu Li's eyes turned cold and he sat back on the sofa.
Lin Qing went to work early the next morning. She ignored Mu Li all night because of the shrimp issue.
Mu Li was also very depressed last night. He never liked to explain, so he kissed her earlobe and explained for a long time. Lin Qing turned over and pretended not to hear.
She seems to have a really bad temper recently.
After Lin Qing left, Mu Li also changed his clothes and went out. He wanted to go to the hospital.
Mu Li went to the outpatient department first. As expected, Old Man Bai had not returned yet. The receptionist at the door looked at Mu Li with peach blossom eyes: "Commander Mu, Doctor Bai will not be back for a few more days."
Mu Li put his hands in his trouser pockets, lowered his eyes and glanced at the nurse: "How long will it take?"
The nurse flipped through the small notebook at hand and looked carefully: "Ten days."
“…” Ten days, I might as well just live in the United States.
Seeing Mu Li's face suddenly darken, the nurse was a little trembling: "Well...why don't you go see the doctor you saw last time?"
The doctor last time was even less reliable. Mu Li felt upset just thinking about it. He waved his hand and turned away: "Forget it, let Dr. Bai contact me when he comes back."
The young nurse hurriedly made a note in the small notebook.
Mu Li turned and went to the ward. When he opened the door, Xu Yuan was still asleep. As soon as Mu Li arrived, the doctor immediately followed him in and reported Xu Yuan's condition without waiting for Mu Li to speak.
Mu Li walked to the bedside and looked at Xu Yuan. Her face did not look very good. After all, she had lost a child. Even the strongest woman would not be able to bear it.
"You said yesterday that her previous condition didn't seem like she knew she was pregnant?" Mu Li turned around and walked out again, and the doctor followed obediently behind him.
"This is just my guess. After all, the first few months of pregnancy are still unstable and you need to be extra careful. I heard the nurse say that there was nothing abnormal with her when she was examined yesterday. Later I heard that her stomach hit the corner of the cabinet yesterday morning. Logically, a pregnant woman would be very careful about this and would not let her stomach hit something easily." The doctor repeated his guess to Mu Li, and Mu Li narrowed his eyes.
Does this mean that Xu Yuan didn’t know she was pregnant
So did Xu Yuan come to tell him that she was pregnant in order to deceive him
The nurse was entering the ward to take Xu Yuan's temperature. When she came out, she walked around to them and said, "Mr. Mu, the patient is awake."
Mu Li glanced at the doctor, told him not to talk nonsense, and walked into the ward.
Xu Yuan didn't expect to see Mu Li as soon as she woke up. There was a glimmer of anticipation in her eyes. She thought her previous words had worked, so she propped herself up a little and leaned against the head of the bed: "Mu Li, you're here."
Mu Li's face was gloomy: "You had a miscarriage."
When Xu Yuan heard the word "miscarriage", her whole body froze. She subconsciously protected her lower abdomen, with unspeakable emotions surging in her heart.
The father of this child was a man she had never even looked at, and it was the result of a night of drunkenness. But when she found out she was pregnant, her heart was filled with joy.
It felt like she was going to be a mother soon.
Unfortunately, she lost the child forever before she could give him any motherly love.
Mu Li saw the emotions in her eyes and the hands protecting her lower abdomen, which confirmed his previous thoughts. He walked to the bed and looked down at Xu Yuan with a gloomy look: "Have you never known that you have this child?"
Xu Yuan suddenly looked up.
"That's why you took the initiative to ask for an abortion after telling me about your pregnancy, because you thought you weren't pregnant at all at that time." Mu Li spoke every word coldly, and the light in his black eyes cut Xu Yuan's heart like an ice knife.
He knows everything
How is that possible? How did he know
Now that she had a miscarriage, shouldn't he believe his own words even more
Xu Yuan was in mixed feelings. She was weak and her mind was not as sharp as before. She just felt that Mu Li was looking at her coldly all over, and the quilt covering her was like ice.
Mu Li took another step forward and reached out to pinch Xu Yuan's chin: "Speak!"
Xu Yuan was shocked.
It wasn't the first time she saw Mu Li's fierce gaze, but it was the first time she felt this fear. If Mu Li knew that she was lying to him...
Mu Li likes children. She knew it when they were still together, so this time she decided to use pregnancy to restrain Mu Li.
Xu Yuan looked at the sinister look in Mu Li's eyes and understood the consequences of being asked the truth at this moment. She had taken a risky step and could not fail now, and she could not let Mu Li hate her.
"You're overthinking. How could I not know I was pregnant?" Xu Yuan pulled the quilt up a little to cover her shoulders. "No matter how stupid I am, it's impossible for me not to feel pregnant. A woman's body will react when she's pregnant."
"Then why are you feeling guilty?" Mu Li looked coldly.
Xu Yuan pushed Mu Li's hand away lightly, turned around and looked at him again: "Mu Li, I'm not guilty, but I'm heartbroken. I'm pregnant with your child and now I have a miscarriage, but you question me with this attitude. Don't forget, that's your child too."
