When Xu Xinning opened her eyes the next day, Mu Jingheng was no longer beside her; he had probably slipped away long ago.

I don't know what he's after. He kept making a ruckus all night without getting tired.

During breakfast, Mu Zhenting suddenly said, "Ningning likes to study medicine and has a great talent for making medicine and treating diseases. Since everyone is free today, Ningning will give everyone a thorough check-up."

Shen Yuqin's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. Although she wasn't sure if she was really pregnant, her period was already more than ten days late this month.

Shen Yuqin looked at Xu Xinning nervously, then comforted herself by looking at her youthful face, thinking that such a young girl couldn't possibly have much medical skill. Maybe it was just because she was Mu Jingheng's boyfriend, Mu Zhenting, that he was deliberately praising her.

As she pondered this, she felt that it made more and more sense. However, she was also anxious. If she was really pregnant, she would have to find a way to kill the pregnancy on Mu Zhenting.

Mu Zhenting did not stay with Shen Yuqin last night. She thought last night was the best opportunity, but she waited for a long time and he did not return to his room. She also went to the study to look for him. The first time he said he had something to do, and the second time she saw Mu Jingheng there. When she went again in the early morning, he had already gone to sleep.

Sometimes Shen Yuqin felt particularly helpless, and she even began to doubt whether her initial choice was wrong. However, these years had been comfortable. Although life was not so smooth, the benefits that the Mu family brought her were real, not only to herself but also to her family.

Whenever she doubts herself, she thinks about the feeling of being looked up to when she goes out.

Wang Yanping can give her happiness, but he can't give her the high and mighty status she desires.

Looking at Shen Yuqin's ever-changing expressions, Xu Xinning felt that she was actually quite pitiful.

People really can't be too greedy. If you want everything, you can't have everything. If you give everyone in the world something, how are others supposed to live? You have to leave some room for others to work hard, right?

Shen Yuqin laughed awkwardly and replied, "Ningning is new to our home, why are you in such a hurry? Anyway, Ningning will be home soon, so it doesn't matter when she gets checked. Ningning, don't mind them, these men are all thick-skinned and impatient."

Xu Xinning smiled and replied, "It's okay, I'm not tired anyway. It's rare to have Grandpa and Uncle Mu at home now."

Grandpa Mu glanced at Mu Zhenting and Mu Jingheng, coughed lightly, and then made the final decision: "Let Ningning see them after breakfast. Health is the foundation of everything, and it's such a good opportunity to have a doctor readily available!"

Shen Yuqin lowered her head. Although Grandpa Mu looked gentle, he was, after all, a veteran of the battlefield, and his aura was still quite intimidating.

Mu Jingshu leaned closer to Xu Xinning and said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, you should investigate this for me later. I also want to grow as tall and beautiful as you. Second sister-in-law, you must have a way to make me beautiful, right?"

Mu Jingheng grabbed Mu Jingshu by the back of her collar and pulled her to his seat. "Little brat, what are you thinking? You're so young and you're always thinking about becoming beautiful. Why don't you just fly to the moon?"

Mu Jingshu retorted, unconvinced, "Second sister-in-law hasn't said anything, why are you in such a hurry, second brother?"

Mu Jingheng: "Forget about becoming beautiful. Beauty is determined by genes, you know?"

Mu Jingshu was stumped by the question: "Second sister-in-law, what are genes?"

Before Xu Xinning could explain, Mu Jingheng spoke up first, "Simply put, it's about your parents' traits. You're their child, so you inherited certain traits from them, such as blood type or appearance. If your parents both look like pigs, would a monkey agree to you looking like one?"

Xu Xinning couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Grandpa Mu smiled too.

Mu Zhenting glared at Mu Jingheng. If he looked like a pig, how could he have escaped?

Shen Yuqin's face was as black as ink, but she dared not retaliate and could only pretend to eat her meal as if nothing had happened.

Mu Jingshu jumped up in anger and complained to Mu Zhenting, "Dad, look at Second Brother, he's so outrageous! He actually said you look like a pig."

Grandpa Mu laughed and said, "Let him say what he wants. If your father looks like a pig, then he's a pig too."

Mu Jingshu, like a victorious peacock, raised her head and looked at Mu Jingheng. She snorted and ignored him. Then she looked at Xu Xinning and, as if changing her expression, put on a smiling face and said to Xu Xinning, "Second sister-in-law, you look like a fairy. I believe you will definitely make me more beautiful."

Xu Xinning smiled and replied earnestly, "As long as you trust me, I will definitely make you more beautiful within the permissible limits."

Mu Jingshu laughed heartily, like a mouse that had stolen lamp oil, but she still couldn't resist stabbing her second brother in the back: "Second brother, the only time you had any sense in your life as a spoiled brat was when you married my second sister-in-law. My second sister-in-law is your savior."

Grandpa Mu, Mu Zhenting, Mu Jingheng, and Xu Xinning all laughed, with Mu Jingheng laughing the most triumphantly.

He also felt very lucky in this life. Perhaps God saw that he had suffered too much in his previous life, so He gave him another chance.

Actually, Wang Yanping was also at the Mu family's house at this time. Hearing that Xu Xinning was going to give the whole family a check-up after dinner, he couldn't help but look in the direction of Shen Yuqin.

When Wang Yanping learned yesterday that Mu Zhenting was going to stay at home, he barely slept all night. He's a man, and who could be so open about knowing that their woman was going to sleep with another man?

But does he have a stance?

No, he's the one who's not legitimate. What right does he have to demand that Shen Yuqin not share a room with Mu Zhenting?
