After being inexplicably scolded, Shen Muzhi abandoned his work and went straight to the Xiang family.

He really couldn't understand women. They were talking perfectly fine on the phone just now, but suddenly they turned on each other the next second.

He didn't even know what he said wrong. He just asked her if she needed money, how did that become sarcasm?

He wasn't the type to soften his tone and coax people, but he was mindful that Xiang Zhilan was pregnant and couldn't afford to have too many emotional fluctuations. Besides, if his parents found out he had upset Xiang Zhilan, he would definitely get a beating.

Shen Mu awkwardly used all these reasons to find an excuse to come and see Zhi Lan.

When he walked to Xiang Zhilan's bedside, he saw that she was turning her head away and ignoring him, and Shen Muzhi frowned.

"Why are you crying?" His voice was cold, and when he said this, it sounded less like concern and more like an interrogation.

Xiang Zhilan realized that he hadn't been coming as often as before these past few days. He probably thought she was a sure thing to marry him, so he neglected her. This was a common problem with men.

A common problem with women is that, regardless of whether they like a man or not, they always want to receive more care and attention from him. This is especially true for Xiang Zhilan, who has always been the object of many boys' affections since childhood. So, being suddenly treated coldly by her husband before the wedding will make her even more unhappy.

"It's none of your business," she replied coldly, her face expressionless.

"Are you in a bad mood?" Shen Muzhi pulled up a chair and sat down by her bedside, looking at her as he asked.

"It's because I saw you that I'm in a bad mood," Xiang Zhilan retorted.

She gets annoyed whether she sees him or not; pregnancy is really like having her period, her emotions are quite different from usual.

"Then you should get some rest." Shen Muzhi remembered their unpleasant parting a few days ago, so he was afraid that seeing him would upset her, which was why he hadn't come. He didn't expect that after so many days, she was still angry.

The doctor had advised him not to upset the pregnant woman, so he should leave early to avoid making her even angrier.

"I'm leaving now." After saying that, Shen Muzhi got up and went outside.

Xiang Zhilan was completely stunned. He had only spoken four sentences since entering the room and stayed for less than a minute before leaving like that? Wasn't he supposed to be here to apologize to her?

Seeing that he was actually about to open the door and leave, she angrily threw the big teddy bear from the bed at him!

Shen Muzhi had practiced combat for many years, and his physical condition allowed him to react very quickly. When the bear was still half a meter away from him, he turned around and grabbed it.

Xiang Zhilan became even angrier when she saw that she had missed, so she pulled out a cushion and a pillow and threw them at the same time.

Shen Muzhi caught them one by one with great agility, while Xiang Zhilan grabbed the fruit on the table and threw it. It posed no threat to him whatsoever, as if an adult was teasing a child. Annoyed, she threw the pen holder at him as well.

This time, the blow landed squarely on Shen Muzhi's chest. Xiang Zhilan was stunned. She thought he would be able to catch it, which was why she used all her strength to hit him. Little did she know that he would be hit squarely.

"If you can't catch it, why don't you dodge it!" Xiang Zhilan didn't feel like she was venting her anger at all; hitting her only made her more uncomfortable.

Shen Muzhi put the messy things back in their place, finally picked up the pen holder, put it back on the bedside table, and said lightly, "I thought you would be happy if you broke it."

Xiang Zhilan was stunned and stared at him with wide eyes. He actually deliberately got hit in order to make her happy?
