Li Beinian froze when she heard her name. Just as she was about to turn around and run away, someone grabbed her arm.
Mu Xichen firmly took her hand and drew her towards him.
Li Beinian instinctively resisted, but very quickly, he had her held down forcefully.
She looked up and saw the man’s slightly displeased expression as he said, “Let’s go in first.”
He knew her well. She wasn’t going to the toilet, she was trying to run away!
The man’s heart sank further and his displeasure became evident.
Li Beinian struggled for a moment before she was unwillingly ushered into the consultation room.
She could even hear the people outside talking about her.
“Wow, that’s Li Beinian?”
“Is it really Li Beinian? Or perhaps they just share the same name. She doesn’t look like the person on TV!”
“Yes, she doesn’t have make-up on and looks a little pale, but it’s her. The person beside her is her husband, Nian’s Hubby. Ah, he’s super handsome!”
“Li Beinian is pregnant, right? No wonder she’s not wearing makeup. But bare-faced celebrities look no different from us ordinary people!”
The door shut behind them.
Li Beinian felt a little aggrieved as her husband sat her down in front of the doctor.
She looked up. Mu Xichen’s eyes were like what one would see in a painting, instead of looking at her, he seemed to be ignoring her.
Li Beinian pouted and turned to face the gentle-looking middle-aged female doctor.
The doctor glanced at Li Beinian and roughly figured out what was going on. She asked Mu Xichen, “Are you a married couple?”
“Yes,” Mu Xichen said simply. He even revealed the ring on his ring finger.
The doctor glanced at it and then subconsciously shifted her gaze to Li Beinian’s left hand.
When Li Beinian sensed this, she hid her hands.
Mu Xichen explained, “She’s put it away because she’s filming.”
“I see.” The doctor expressed her understanding and started asking questions.
Li Beinian did not seem to be in a good mood, but she answered every question.
The doctor asked, “Have you been having nausea recently?”
“No.”
“Do you often feel very tired?”
“I’ve been rather tired from work recently and haven’t slept much, so I often yawn.” Li Beinian’s voice became softer and softer. In the end, she mumbled, “Making a mountain out of a molehill. How could I be pregnant!”
“She fainted today.” Mu Xichen said with his hand planted firmly on Li Beinian’s shoulder. “She’s usually in good health. It’s impossible for her to faint. Besides, she’s been sleeping a lot recently. She sleeps eleven hours a day.”
“I don’t, I don’t sleep for eleven hours!” Li Beinian exclaimed. Then, she explained, “I’m tired, so it’s normal for me to sleep a little more. Besides, I didn’t sleep that long, how could it have been… eleven hours…” After a moment, Li Beinian looked indignant and retorted,” We haven’t been together recently, how would you know how long I sleep for? ”
“Your assistant knows some things better than you do.” Mu Xichen’s voice was faint. “You sleep during intermission, even if it’s only for ten minutes. You used to sleep lightly.”
“What about now?” the doctor asked.
“Now she sleeps soundly,” Mu Xichen replied. Then, as if he didn’t think the answer was comprehensive enough, he added, “It’s hard to wake her up.”
The doctor nodded and asked, “And have you been craving for any specific food recently? Something sour, spicy, or sweet?”
“Recently, she’s taken a fancy to strawberries.”
