The news came so suddenly that Huo Shengyuan was caught off guard. “Mom, Qingya’s pregnant.” He lowered his arms and said to Yun Shujing.
“Pregnant?” Yun Shujing repeated, but there was no joy in her heart. If she hadn’t found out the secret in Huo Shengyuan’s office, she might have been happy. However, things were getting more and more complicated now. She couldn’t figure it out at the moment. Then… Then what should we do?”
Huo Shengyuan could sense that Yun Shujing was panicking. He squatted down and said to Yun Shujing, “Mom, you should rest at home. I’ll go get Qingya.”
“Oh, okay, you can go.”
Huo Shengyuan could feel that Yun Shujing’s hands were trembling. She didn’t dare to look him in the eye. She seemed to be filled with fear. However, he didn’t say anything more. He only took one more look at Yun Shujing before he got up and left the Huo Family.
Yun Shujing watched Huo Shengyuan’s back as he left and heaved a long sigh of relief. She knew very well that Mu Qingya’s child had come at the wrong time. She could only hope that after Huo Shengyuan had a child, he would restrain himself and no one would find out about the secret in the lounge. On the second floor, Huo Jiuxiao alreadv knew what was on their minds. He was afraid that there would be another pitiful worm in this world.
At this time, Jinzhou was already shrouded in thick fog at night. Huo Shengyuan rushed to the hospital in a thin black trench coat and ran straight to Mu Qingya’s ward. At this time, Mama Mu was standing by Mu Qingya’s side, serving her soup.
“You still have the cheek to come?” Mrs. Mu scolded her son-in-law. “Huo Shengyuan, I agreed to marry Qingya to you because you were honest. Now it seems that you’re a hypocrite.”
“Mom!” Mu Qingya quickly stopped him. “Do you want the child in my stomach to be born without a father?”
Mrs. Mu had no choice but to put away her anger and put the chicken soup in Mu Qingya’s hands. “You two can talk among yourselves. I’ll go out first. But if he bullies you again, we’ll leave the Huo Family.”
“Mom, I know.”
Mrs. Mu snorted and glared at Huo Shengyuan before packing her things and leaving the ward.
After the sound of high heels left, only the couple was left in the ward, but it was strangely quiet. Huo Shengyuan didn’t know what to say. He just sat down beside Mu Qingya and asked, “Are you okay?”
“Fortunately, the child is fine. The doctor said that the child was already eight weeks old. I’m just a little bleeding. I’ll be fine after recuperating.” After Mu Qingya found out that she was pregnant, her mentality changed drastically. This joy washed away the anger in her heart. So, when she saw her husband again, she only wanted to share this happy occasion with him. She had long forgotten about the unhappiness in Deer Terrace Pavilion these two days.
“I’m sorry…” Huo Shengyuan apologized.
“Because of the child, I forgive you.” Mu Qingya caressed her belly and said, “I didn’t expect that I’m going to be a mother too. Shengyuan, are you happy?
Mu Qingya looked at Huo Shengyuan with hope, as if she was also looking forward to him being filled with joy at the arrival of this life.
However…
‘Qingya,” Huo Shengyuan said after a moment of hesitation.” Can we not have this child now?”
“What do you mean?” Mu Qingya suddenly pushed Huo Shengyuan’s hand away and asked angrily.
“You also know that my status is not stable now, and I haven’t completely secured the position of the Huo Family’s heir. If we have a child now, then in the future, when we fight with Huo Jiuxiao, it’s inevitable that he will have something on us. At that time, if he uses the child to threaten us, have you thought about the consequences?” Huo Shengyuan explained, “I just don’t want our child to be born in such an environment. I’m too scared. Qingya, can you understand me?”
“In the end, you’re just incompetent. If you can’t protect my child, I’ll go back to the Mu family and give birth myself. You’re afraid that the birth of this child will threaten your position. You’re afraid that the arrival of this child will become a variable for you. But I want to keep this child. No one can take my child away!” Mu Qingya shouted at the door of the ward.
Mrs. Mu heard her voice and pushed the door open.
“Mom, Huo Shengyuan wants to abort my child!”
Mrs. Mu was exasperated. She went up to Huo Shengyuan and slapped him across the face. “Insensible thing. Get lost right now!”
Then, Mama Mu hugged Mu Qingya and comforted her.
Huo Shengyuan had no choice but to turn around and leave. Indeed, he only had himself in his heart. When he heard the news of Mu Qingya’s pregnancy, he did not feel happy at all. Instead, his mind was filled with the shackles of the child. He did not win, so he did not need to worry about anything. However, it seemed to be very difficult to make Mu Qingya give up on this child. So, after returning home, he went straight to Yun Shujing.
Yun Shujing was still in a daze. When she saw Huo Shengyuan, she thought she
“Since you and your wife are back, I’ll go back to my room to rest.”
Unexpectedly, Huo Shengyuan knelt in front of Yun Shujing and grabbed her hand. “Mom, I need your help.”
Yun Shujing had dealt with so many of Huo Weichen’s children in the past, and now she only needed to deal with him.
However, he had never thought about Mu Qingya’s status and the consequences of this matter.
“I can’t let Qingya’s child be born!”
Yun Shujing’s mind went blank after hearing that.
“I can’t have any burden. I can’t let Huo Jiuxiao find any weakness in me. But
Qingya won’t agree to it. So, I need your help to get rid of Qingya’s child!”
Yun Shujing couldn’t help but flinch. “Shengyuan, this is Qingya. She’s your wife, and this child will be the eldest grandson of the Huo Family. I really can’t do it. Why don’t you think of another way?
‘Mom, cheer up!” Huo Shengyuan shook Yun Shujing and said, “We haven’t won yet! Can you bear to see my years of hard work go to waste because of a child? I beg you!”
“But…’
“There are no buts. If there are, it means that you’re not willing to help me.”
“Let me think, I need to think!” After saying that, Yun Shujing broke free of Huo Shengyuan’s grip and hurried back to her room..
