Yes, that was his child, and now that she had a miscarriage, there was no evidence.
As long as Xu Yuan insisted that the child was Mu Li's, then it was Mu Li's, unless the man who slept with her that night showed up. But Xu Yuan knew that the man had gone abroad half a month ago and would not be back for a year or so.
How long can a year be? For Xu Yuan, this was enough time for her to get Mu Li back.
"My child?" Mu Li narrowed his eyes coldly. This had always puzzled him. "Are you sure, that is my child?"
Xu Yuan's eyes showed disappointment and sneer. He suppressed his weakness and sat up: "I have only done it with you. It's not yours. Did it come out of thin air?"
Mu Li had indeed been to Xu Yuan's apartment more than a month ago, and he vaguely remembered that he pushed her down on the bed, but he could never remember the details afterwards. He only felt that someone knocked on the door later.
"Who else came to see you that day?"
Xu Yuan knew that his memory was in fragments and sneered, "You should ask your wife about this."
Lin Qing did go there that day, but what Lin Qing knew was slightly different from the truth.
Mu Li frowned. Is it Lin Qing
No wonder Lin Qing was so sure at the time, it turns out she knew everything...
But Mu Li always felt that Lin Qing didn't know everything, and no one, including himself, knew the truth of the matter.
Xu Yuan was lying on the bed in a hospital gown. She no longer had her usual pride and her eyes could not hide the fatigue. The confrontation with Mu Li made her even more tired.
Mu Li looked at her for a long time and felt that she did not look like someone who was lying. However, a matter that could have been easily resolved had been escalated to this point and it would be difficult to resolve it.
Especially as for Lin Qing, her former best friend had his child. How should she face him in the future
Perhaps the most difficult thing to accept is not losing something, but having it but being unable to hold it, like sand in your hands.
"Let's talk about this after you get better." Mu Li frowned, "You should rest first."
After he said that, he turned around and walked out of the ward.
Don't you want to see her for even one more second
Does she disgust him so much
Xu Yuan almost dug his nails into his flesh, and a mocking voice rang out from behind: "Why, you can't stand the mention of Lin Qing?"
Is he so afraid that Lin Qing will get hurt
What about her? What is she
Mu Li did not stop: "Take care of yourself first."
Xu Yuan was filled with annoyance. She raised her hand and knocked over everything on the bedside table. "Mu Li, when did you become so cowardly? Are you afraid to take responsibility for what you did?" She suddenly raised her voice, and it sounded unfamiliar even to herself. "Why didn't you think of Lin Qing when you were doing it with me? Why are you pretending to be a good person now? This child is yours! It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. It's gone anyway!"
"Xu Yuan!" Mu Li paused, and turned back to see a cold look, "Listen carefully to what you are saying!"
The sinister look in his eyes made Xu Yuan's heart tremble, and she couldn't help but shrink back, but the resentment in her heart was also surging. She hated him so much when she thought of sleeping with that man that night: "I heard it very clearly, Mu Li, I said you did it but you dare not admit it!"
"I dare not admit it?" Mu Li's eyes lit up with fire, and he strode back to the bedside, "If this child is really mine, I will definitely be responsible for him!"
Xu Yuan was not to be outdone and pushed him away: "Responsible? The blood has already flowed out, how can you still be responsible?!"
Xu Yuan was obviously trying to provoke Mu Li again. Mu Li's personality was not something that could be easily controlled, but his words just now had already pushed him out, and he himself didn't even know what was going on.
He seems to lose control easily in front of Xu Yuan recently, and this loss of control goes against his inner feelings.
Mu Li did not speak. His brows were knitted tightly and his hands were clenched into fists. Xu Yuan stared at him for a long time and said coldly, "Don't talk about responsibility. You didn't want this child in the first place. Isn't it just what you want now that you don't have it? Or do you think I'm not miserable enough now?"
Yes, she was already miserable enough, suddenly losing a child, the child of a strange man.
This kind of misery is enough to win her sympathy.
Mu Li opened his tightly pursed lips, his voice slightly hoarse: "That's right, even if this child is mine, I will get rid of it."
Xu Yuan felt a chill in his heart.
She thought that since Mu Li witnessed what happened yesterday, he would at least have some feelings for the child.
"What gives you the right?" Xu Yuan thought of the aborted child and hated herself for not loving him more. She raised her hand to hit Mu Li.
Mu Li turned sideways and grabbed Xu Yuan's wrist: "Why are you crazy? Don't forget, it was you who suggested to remove it in the first place."
His words reminded Xu Yuan that in the end, the person who killed her child was actually herself.
Seeing that she was pale and angry just now, Mu Li was about to collapse, so he let go of her hand and let her lean back against the bed: "You have always been a smart woman. You should know how I will deal with this matter."
deal with…
He used such cruel words to describe her child.
Xu Yuan closed her eyes and her heart went cold. She was still angry and felt hot and cold all over. She felt extremely weak.
Neither of the two people who were arguing noticed that a petite figure outside the ward door trembled and hurried past the door.
Oh my god, what did she just hear
Manager Xu is pregnant with Commander Mu’s child
Seeing that Xu Yuan didn't look well, Mu Li called a doctor to check him out, gave him a few instructions, and then left the ward.
Xu Yuan didn't say another word. She pinched her palms hard with her nails to hold back the pain in her heart.
The doctor received Mu Li's instructions and naturally took special care of Xu Yuan, but Mu Li never showed up for the next two days. Everyone knew Mu Li's family background and that he had been married for a long time. Now that this incident had happened, it might cause trouble one day.
Xu Yuan felt better these two days. He asked the nurse for a charger to charge his cell phone, and made a call as soon as he turned it on.
Lin Qing has recently turned on the deaf-mute mode, commuting between the company and home every day. When she gets home, she cooks on time and eats by herself at the dining table. There were a few times when Mu Li stayed in the study for a little too long, and when she came downstairs, she had already finished her meal and was ready to go upstairs.
That incident had been weighing on Lin Qing's mind and making her feel very uncomfortable. In the past few days, it had completely exploded, and it was a silent version.
Mu Li came down from upstairs and saw that Lin Qing had finished half of the bowl of porridge. He walked behind Lin Qing and took the bowl away: "You didn't call me to eat?"
Lin Qing didn't even look up. He moved to the chair next to him and continued drinking Mu Li's bowl of porridge.
Mu Li frowned and his face turned cold: "Lin Qing, if you are angry, just vent it out. Why are you holding it in?"
Lin Qing held the spoon and sipped the porridge. The sweet porridge had no taste in her mouth.
Mu Li grabbed her wrist and dragged her away from the dining table: "Lin Qing, do you want to suffocate yourself to death?"
"I have nothing to hold back. But you, who remembers so clearly what others like and don't like to eat, why do you want to eat with me?" Lin Qing was so angry when she spoke every word. Her face flushed red. She broke free from Mu Li's hand and took a step back. "Don't touch me, I'm not angry."
How dare you say you're not angry after this
Mu Li knew that she was not only angry because of the shrimp incident, but once this topic was brought up, there was no telling how bad the situation would get.
Mu Li took a step forward and pulled her into his arms domineeringly, holding her slender waist with one hand: "Okay, be good and stop making trouble."
He also knew that Lin Qing was upset.
"Don't touch me, I haven't finished my porridge yet." This time Lin Qing was not so easy to coax. She pushed Mu Li away and tried to sit down.
Mu Li snatched the bowl of porridge from Lin Qing and held it out of her reach: "Call me and I'll let you drink."
"What are you shouting?" Lin Qing obviously didn't understand.
"What do you think I should be called?" Mu Li raised his lips and hugged her into his arms. "We've been married for so long, and you still don't know what to call me?"
Lin Qing was stunned for a moment before she understood what he meant. Thinking about it carefully, she seemed to have never called Mu Li like that before.
"I won't shout." Lin Qing turned his face away, and if he couldn't break free, he simply stayed still.
"Are you going to scream or not?" Mu Li moved closer to her.
Lin Qing didn't want to shout anything no matter what. Her mind was full of Xu Yuan's pregnancy and miscarriage. Not to mention calling him, she even felt uncomfortable seeing him.
No matter what, Mu Li belonged to Lin Qing alone. But now, when Lin Qing thought about her man having sex with her ex-best friend...
This feeling is more painful than telling her that Mu Li had cheated on her.
Lin Qing bit her lip and turned her face away again.
"Lin Qing, you are just going against me, right?" Mu Li's brows turned cold. He picked up the bowl of porridge beside him and took a sip himself. Lin Qing was confused by his behavior, and then he turned around again and turned his face away hurriedly.
However, before she could completely turn away, her lips were fiercely covered.
The fragrance of the porridge slowly overflowed into her mouth, it was hard to tell whether it was sweet or bitter. Lin Qing only felt that she had been drinking this porridge for a long time, and his kiss became deeper and deeper.
Lin Qing choked slightly in her throat, bit his lips with her teeth, and blood flowed out from between his lips.
"Don't want to drink?" Mu Li was pushed away by her, his brows turned cold, and he put the bowl of porridge back on the table, "Then don't drink it."
She wanted to drink it, but not in this way.
In fact, Lin Qing didn't eat much that day. She has been having lunch at the company every day recently, and her appetite is surprisingly small. Xiaoke was with her at noon today and thought she was sick.
Lin Qing looked at the bowl of porridge, then raised his head to look at Mu Li. The gloomy look in his eyes almost blew up the house.
But the nicer and more proactive he was to her, the more uncomfortable she felt.
"Mu Li, don't be like this. Can't we just talk nicely?" Lin Qing's voice softened. When people are tired, they don't look very well.
"Okay, but are you in a good mood to talk to me now?" Mu Li's slender fingers grasped her chin with a cold feeling. He really wanted to see through this woman. "I don't listen to your explanations, I don't pay attention to you when I talk to you, and I don't want to feed you porridge. Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"I..." Lin Qing was speechless for a moment, she looked up at him and saw the pain in his eyes. He had always been a high and mighty figure who never needed explanations or perfection, but now he did all these unnecessary things for her.
He even put aside all his attitude and asked her what to do.
