"Jing Ge, what kind of person I am, don’t you already know? Don’t you trust me?" Gu Mingzhu looked at Jiang Jing with a pale face, her hand tightly gripping his, as if afraid that if she let go, he would leave her.
Jiang Jing remained silent. In the past, he would have surely believed her, but now, he didn’t dare to...
"Jing Ge, I’m sorry. I was just jealous earlier and talking nonsense."
Gu Mingzhu looked at Jiang Jing pitifully, her eyes brimming with tears. She gazed at him so heartbreakingly; Jiang Jing wanted to ignore her, but he couldn’t.
"Ah, my stomach hurts a bit. Do you think something might be wrong with our child?" Gu Mingzhu touched her belly, appearing uncomfortable.
Jiang Jing immediately became worried and held her as they walked out.
Zhao Xiu watched them hastily leave, and even though she was not the sharpest, she sensed something amiss. Jiang Jing genuinely wanted to compensate her, but Gu Mingzhu seemed intent on driving her away?
Could it be that when Gu Mingzhu sought her out back then, it wasn’t Jiang Jing’s idea?
Zhao Xiu furrowed her brows in thought, lowering her head to look at her leg, which appeared normal but caused her to limp when walking. Was Jiang Jing’s word trustworthy?
Was there really a chance her leg could be healed?
Zhao Xiu looked at her leg, lost in thought.

"Your child is fine. It might be your emotions were a bit heightened, causing some discomfort."
The doctor advised her to maintain a cheerful mood, which would be beneficial for both the child and herself.
"Doctor, is my baby really alright? But I truly felt my stomach hurt just now," Gu Mingzhu exclaimed excitedly and then asked, "Is Director Jiang in? He has always been the one to check me."
"Director Jiang is off today." The doctor patiently responded, reiterating that her baby was fine.
"Mingzhu, since the doctor has assured us that the child is fine, let’s go home."
Jiang Jing supported Gu Mingzhu as they walked out. On the way, afraid that Jiang Jing might misunderstand, Gu Mingzhu quickly explained, "Jing Ge, I really felt my stomach hurting earlier, I wasn’t faking."
"The doctor said you need to maintain a pleasant mood, to relax." Jiang Jing comforted her but ignored Gu Mingzhu’s explanation.
"You don’t believe me."
Leaning on the seat, a nameless fire burned within Gu Mingzhu, but she didn’t know where to vent.
From the moment they left Zhao Xiu’s house until the journey home, Gu Mingzhu noticed that the once attentive and caring Jiang Jing had seemingly changed in an instant.
"No." Jiang Jing denied it, saying, "I have things to attend to today. I’ll have the driver take you back to the Gu Family."
Without thinking, Gu Mingzhu refused. She reached out, grabbing his hand, and said, "Jing Ge, I..."
Gu Mingzhu glanced at the driver ahead, took a deep breath, and said, "Jing Ge, let’s go to our home today. I have something to tell you."
Gu Mingzhu looked at Jiang Jing with pleading eyes, and Jiang Jing instructed the driver to change directions.
The home of Jiang Jing and Gu Mingzhu was by the river in South City. Jiang’s parents thought the couple might not be comfortable living with them, so they chose a place with a nice environment and close to Jiang Jing’s workplace.
As soon as they entered the house, Gu Mingzhu hugged Jiang Jing. She choked up, saying, "Jing Ge, it was just because I saw you going to Zhao Xiu’s house that I felt uncomfortable. I admit, I shouldn’t have been jealous, shouldn’t have spoken to Zhao Xiu that way, but I just couldn’t help it."
