Chapter 58 Chapter 58 I want everything to go as you wish.
When Feng Han called Mu Xi "wife" for the first time in front of others, Ming Yu reacted the most, followed by Ying Zhang. Bai Yi was older than them after all and much more stable, but he still couldn't hide his surprise.
Two days later, Ji Lian went to see Feng Han.
This time, there was no formal notice to inform in advance, but Lan Zhi, who had already been kicked out, was asked to find Ming Yu privately to pass on the message.
Mu Xi didn't know anything about it, and Feng Han didn't tell her.
Late at night, after Mu Xi fell asleep, Feng Han quietly changed his clothes and went out.
The place where Ji Lian had an appointment with him was remote. Although Feng Han did not think that Ji Lian could be his opponent, for the sake of his children, he still allowed Ming Yu and Ying Zhang to accompany him.
When they met Ji Lian, the two of them were standing not far away from each other.
Seeing this, Ji Lian sneered, "I thought Master Feng was fearless. I only came alone, and you carefully brought two tails with you."
Feng Han was too lazy to argue with him. He knew that Ji Lian spoke harshly to him because he had no other way to win Mu Xi back.
But then I thought, why should I tolerate him and be so arrogant even when asking for my help?
Feng Han chuckled and said, "Master Ji is deeply in love with my wife, but unfortunately he's too passionate. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm coming to see Master Ji. Even though I know the chances of getting hurt are slim, I really don't dare to take the risk."
It can be seen that Ji Lian is not good at arguing with others, and he always loses when arguing with Feng Han.
Fenghan felt much better and asked him to take out the things.
The marriage certificate was finally handed to Feng Han. When he opened it and read every word on it carefully, all the previous joy disappeared instantly.
No matter how proud and satisfied he was now, the marriage between Ji Lian and Mu Xi, which was arranged by their parents, did exist.
In name, Ji Lian will always be Mu Xi's fiancé.
Feng Han suddenly changed his mind. He originally thought that holding a wedding ceremony was unnecessary.
Of course he wanted to, but from Mu Xi's perspective, she definitely didn't want to, and she only made this suggestion because she wanted to make him happy.
The light yet heavy object in his hand made Feng Han want to announce his relationship with Mu Xi to the world.
But in just a moment, Fenghan regained his sanity.
If Mu Xi and I were to hold a ceremony, it would be destined not to be announced to the world.
Mu Xi cannot be noticed by too many people, and she is carrying the life of a non-existent sister on her shoulders.
After reading it, Feng Han put it away silently. He turned around and was about to leave when Ji Lian stopped him.
"You haven't fulfilled your promise yet! Are you trying to cheat?"
Feng Han turned around and looked at Ji Lian with a smile. "The thing that can solve Mr. Ji's mother's current predicament has now been delivered to your father. If you don't believe it, Mr. Ji can go back and verify it."
Ji Lian frowned and stared at him, his eyes full of suspicion.
"My mother and father are not in Yucheng. If you lie and deliberately delay, I will have no protection."
Feng Han's gaze remained unyielding as he said, "Since Master Ji knows that he can only turn to me for help, then you are also prepared to be toyed with by me, right?"
He smiled and said softly, "If it were in the past, I might really have done it... But now, I'm married and pregnant, and I don't want to get blood on my hands at this time. Is this answer satisfactory to Master Ji?"
Ji Lian could see that Feng Han really liked the baby in his belly, and the look in a father's eyes could not be faked.
If Feng Han is pretending, his acting skills can be said to have reached the pinnacle.
However, Ji Lian still couldn't be sure whether Feng Han did this because he loved his wife and his family or because he only loved his own child.
You can only take a gamble.
The initiative of this confrontation was in Feng Han's hands from the very beginning, and Ji Lian knew it very well.
"If you lie to me, I swear, I will kill you. I don't care what your relationship with Xi Niang is. If you lie to me, Xi Niang will no longer want you. I think you know this very well."
Feng Han just smiled and said nothing.
Ji Lian turned and left.
When Feng Han returned to Bitian Villa, Mu Xi hadn't even changed her sleeping position.
After burning the eyesore outside the house, Feng Han quietly laid down next to Mu Xi.
After waiting for a while to warm up, he reached out and gently wrapped his arms around Mu Xi.
Mu Xi moved twice, but did not wake up. Instead, she avoided Feng Han's belly completely based on muscle memory and gently hugged him.
The two of them were very close, and every time Feng Han took a deep breath, he could smell the scent of Mu Xi.
The smell fascinated him so much.
He tilted his head slightly and carefully traced the contours of Mu Xi's face with his eyes.
After looking for a while, he felt sleepy and closed his eyes.
Ji Lian kept his promise and did not come to see Mu Xi again, but two of Feng Han's spies in Wu Yue Tower were soon eliminated.
Feng Han was not surprised by this. As long as Ji Lian was sure that the problem on his mother's side had been properly resolved when he presented the marriage certificate, he would know that there was someone from Beiqu Pavilion in Wu Yue Tower.
He arranged other tasks for the two men. One of them had a good relationship with Ying Zhang and was Ying Zhang's subordinate earlier.
Ying Zhang mentioned that person and said something extra: "...If they knew that my husband was pregnant, they would definitely be shocked."
He didn't think too much when he said this. Fenghan's personality became much gentler after she became pregnant and decided to keep the child.
But after Ying Zhang said this, Feng Han did not respond at all, but remained silent, as if he had instantly returned to the gloomy self he was before he met Mu Xi.
Mingyu glared at Yingzhang, and Yingzhang realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.
Although he didn't know what specific mistake he had made, it was a mistake, and if his master was unhappy, he should reflect on himself.
Ying Zhang knelt down with a plop and said, "Don't mind me, my dear. I was outspoken. I..." He knew he was wrong, but Ying Zhang still wanted to clear his name. "I absolutely didn't mean anything else."
Feng Han glanced at Ying Zhang and told him to stand up. "My wife has said that people in this yard should not kneel down at every turn. She feels uncomfortable watching them."
Ying Zhang said "yes", stood up carefully, and looked at Feng Han's expression carefully.
Feng Han got up and left.
Mingyu didn't beat around the bush and directly told Yingzhang to be careful with his words during this period.
"I don't think there's anything bad in what I said. I'm just telling the truth, right?"
Ying Zhang admitted his mistake quickly because he could read people's facial expressions, but he didn't know where exactly he went wrong.
"Perhaps the young master...is not willing to let only the three of us know about his relationship with my lady."
Mingyu could see clearly that Fenghan basically never concealed his true thoughts and feelings in front of Muxi, and it was very easy to understand them together.
Ying Zhang didn't understand: "Didn't my husband and my wife reach a consensus? Each of them has their own shackles, and it's impossible for them to let everyone know. This situation is the safest now."
"Facts are facts, regrets are regrets, how can they be confused?"
Mingyu finished speaking and tapped Yingzhang on the head. "In short, you'd better say less about these things during this period, so as not to get into trouble."
Ying Zhang frowned and glared at him. "I've caused far less trouble than you, haven't I? Have you forgotten that you once wanted to kill my wife?"
This was the most wrong decision Mingyu had ever made in his life. Ying Zhang always said that he didn't care about anything else, but as soon as he mentioned this, Mingyu would immediately get angry with him.
While the two were bickering and shouting about finding a place to have a fight, Mu Xi was looking at the flowers in the yard.
Feng Han added a lot of things to Bitian Villa, especially the courtyard where the two of them lived.
There are a few more bonsai pots in the corner, and Mu Xi will come closer to take a look when she has nothing to do.
She likes the scent of grass and trees, which is the most representative of the so-called "smells of nature" that she learned from textbooks when she was a child.
Since childhood, whenever Mu Xi smelled such a scent, she would think of the word "nature".
I thought about my childhood, the textbooks, and the time I spent in school.
Mu Xi felt that perhaps without her realizing it, teaching had gone from being an insignificant means of making a living to a superficial hobby of hers.
I miss it a lot after not doing it for a long time.
When Feng Han walked into the yard, he saw Mu Xi staring at the bonsai in a daze. He approached her and asked her what she was thinking about.
Mu Xi subconsciously wanted to answer, but before she opened her mouth, she thought that expressing her true thoughts might cause Feng Han to misunderstand, and then start a mode of internal friction, which was not acceptable.
So she said, “Nothing.”
Fenghan already knows his partner very well.
When Mu Xi said “nothing”, it didn’t mean that the matter was really nothing, but rather – “Obviously there was something, but I didn’t want to talk about it for various reasons.”
Feng Han began to guess that when Mu Xi said "nothing" this time, she actually meant "something"...
Two months passed quickly and Fenghan's belly grew bigger and bigger.
After taking their pulse, Bai Yi told them that the calamity of impermanence must have been resolved by the Heart Refining Bug.
And the Heart-Refining Worm has always been in their children's bodies.
"The child protects the father, and the Heart Refining Worm protects the child, so apart from the initial discomfort, the young master has been very peaceful."
Mu Xi was not surprised by this conclusion. She had had the same guess as early as when she knew Feng Han was pregnant.
But Mu Xi didn't say it at the time. She knew very well that this was not because of her wide range of interests, not at all. It was just because she read too many novels and watched too many TV dramas in modern times.
Mu Xi suspected more than once that she was living in a book she had never read.
But she and Fenghan are definitely not the protagonists.
The original owner, Feng Han, and Ji Lian may all be supporting characters in the book, or just so-called NPCs, the kind of people whose names are mentioned once or twice casually.
Fenghan was very happy. She touched her belly and said that her child was really good. He knew how to protect his father at such a young age.
Mu Xi was a little absent-minded at first, but came back to her senses the moment Feng Han looked at her. She inexplicably knew what he wanted her to do.
So he cooperated and walked forward and gently placed his palm on Fenghan's belly.
Seeing Feng Han smiling at her, Mu Xi swallowed back the words she was about to complain about.
Bai Yi asked, "I already know whether the baby is a girl or a boy. Do you and I want to know?"
Mu Xi didn't wait for Feng Han to give any emotional feedback, and waved her hands at Bai Yi repeatedly, "I don't want to know."
Feng Han looked at Mu Xi. Although he originally wanted to say that he didn't want to know, even if it was the same choice, Feng Han still wanted to know why Mu Xi chose that way.
Because I want to experience opening a blind box.
Mu Xi answered him in her heart, but Feng Han couldn't hear it of course.
She said, "This is unfair to the child. They gave us a surprise when they came. If we find out now whether it's a girl or a boy, wouldn't that waste the second surprise they gave us?"
Feng Han smiled, seeming to take it very seriously.
They have reached a consensus that Mu Xi and Feng Han do not want to know the gender of the fetus.
However, although the two parties involved did not want to know, Mingyu and Yingzhang both wanted to know in advance.
But Bai Yi kept his mouth shut and no matter how they asked, they couldn't get the answer.
The New Year was approaching, and everyone in the Bitian Villa had originally thought that the mansion was pregnant, so they would not make lavish arrangements. However, Feng Han still followed Mu Xi to buy a lot of New Year's goods, as well as gifts for the neighbors.
Of course, they not only need to give gifts to their neighbors, but also to those families in Yucheng who had previously sent them invitations.
Although they had not made friends with any of the families, the Chinese New Year was a good time to give back and apologize. Mu Xi and Feng Han prepared gifts according to the quantity given by Ming Yu for everyone they knew, and were just waiting for the store to deliver them to their door.
There are many people in Yucheng, and it is very lively at this time, with everyone going to the market.
People were coming and going, and Mu Xi was worried that Feng Han would be bumped into, so she kept protecting him.
Feng Han felt as sweet as honey in his heart. In fact, those people could not hurt him at all. He felt that Mu Xi knew it, but he enjoyed the feeling of being protected by Mu Xi.
Suddenly he saw Mu Xi looking somewhere, so he looked over and found that it was a group of students wearing the same clothes. They seemed to be organizing some activities and they were holding things in their arms.
The most expensive school in Yucheng has a uniform dress code, and Fenghan once thought about letting Muxi teach there if she wanted.
But later the matter was left unresolved.
Feng Han frowned slightly, the sweetness in his heart was gone, and instead he felt a bit of loss that was rare in recent times.
He once again felt as if he had used the child as a threat to keep Mu Xi, even if she said otherwise, even if she said he was willing.
But since she has chosen to let the child stay, Mu Xi will make sacrifices and concessions for the child.
Because she didn't want her child to have only a father and no mother.
But the premise for this conclusion is that Feng Han selfishly chose to keep the child, but because Mu Xi asked him to tell the truth, he really told the truth.
Fenghan felt a little regretful, but when he lowered his head and saw his belly, the sudden feeling of regret subsided a little.
"Let's go." Mu Xi stood beside Feng Han and reminded him. Feng Han nodded slightly, all his expressions were hidden under the veil and veil. Mu Xi had no idea of the multiple psychological changes he had undergone in such a short period of time.
After returning home that night, Mu Xi noticed Feng Han's abnormality and asked him what was wrong.
Feng Han smiled and said that he was a little tired.
Mu Xi believed it. They had been busy arranging things for the New Year these past two days, and Feng Han was very likely to be exhausted, after all, he was a pregnant man.
"Do what you can. If you can't do that, just be the commander. Command Mingyu and Yingzhang, command Doctor Bai, and command me."
Mu Xi's bright eyes were full of energy, without a trace of loss or regret.
But Feng Han knew that Mu Xi just wasn't thinking about that matter right now.
From then on, every time she thought about the things she had given up for a pregnant man, she would feel sad.
Every time I feel sad, I might accumulate resentment towards him, time and time again, more and more, and one day it will explode.
"What are you thinking about?" Mu Xi tilted her head slightly to look at Feng Han and asked him, "Why do you look like that?"
Feng Han smiled and said, "My wife put herself last. Are you trying to be lazy?"
Before Mu Xi could speak, Feng Han said, "Whether it's true or not, I can't bear to send you to work for me."
Suddenly someone said sweet words to her face. Mu Xi paused, smiled at Feng Han belatedly, and said nothing.
The smile in Fenghan's eyes faded a little.
Mu Xi still advised him to delegate power and not do everything himself.
Fenghan nodded and said that he understood and would listen to her and do what he could.
In fact, what Mu Xi didn’t tell Feng Han was that she always felt that celebrating holidays was just superficial and a bit boring.
This is something you absolutely cannot say.
Feng Han seemed to attach great importance to their first New Year together. Mu Xi didn't want to spoil his fun, but from her own point of view, she also felt that it was not very interesting.
Since he is so enthusiastic, there is nothing to lose by cooperating with him.
Of course, after Mu Xi fell asleep, Feng Han couldn't sleep. He tossed and turned, wondering whether he had done the right thing.
If it is not right and it has come to this, how can we save it?
Zong Lu has become thoroughly familiar with his job content, and Zong He's personality has become much more cheerful than when they first met.
Now almost all of Fenghan’s food is supervised by Zonghe.
In fact, Feng Han would check every food before importing it. In this huge Bitian Villa, he didn't trust anyone except Mu Xi.
In this way, everyone has their own secrets and moves towards the New Year step by step.
On New Year's Eve, Mu Xi and Feng Han still celebrated with others in their yard.
Mu Xi was prepared to stay up all night. This was the first time she had celebrated the New Year with so many people since she was introduced here. She thought that they would have a lot of fun with so many people gathered together.
But every one of them present knew when to advance and when to retreat.
The husband was pregnant and the wife was reserved, so she didn't seem to find the excitement very interesting. After the meal and some auspicious words, everyone talked about their prospects for the next year, and the dinner party soon ended.
Mu Xi accompanied Feng Han back to the room and asked him if he wanted to rest, worried that he would feel unwell after a tiring day.
Feng Han looked into her eyes and shook his head gently, "I have something to say to my wife."
Mu Xi nodded and sat next to him, "Go ahead."
She thought Fenghan was going to say some auspicious words about the New Year to her, just like when he was with other people, only more private.
Mu Xi didn't expect Feng Han to tell her—
"After the baby is born and my wife has seen it, leave here."
Mu Xi was stunned.
She had drunk two glasses of wine tonight at the instigation of others, and when she heard this, she thought it was some kind of hallucination.
This scene, this conversation, had never existed in her dreams.
Is this actually the beginning of a dream? But Feng Han looks so real.
"No……"
It must be a dream.
Mu Xi suddenly thought that Feng Han had changed his address to calling her "wife". It had been a while, so how come he suddenly changed it back to "wife"?
After figuring it out, Mu Xi suddenly felt inexplicably relaxed.
"I know you stayed for me and the child, but I don't want to tie you down forever with the child. I understand you best and care about you the most in this world. I want everything to go your way."
Mu Xi looked at Feng Han in confusion. She really couldn't figure it out. How could she be sure it was a dream? Feng Han in the dream was still talking to her.
He also said these words that are consistent with his usual personality.
If she was sure she was dreaming, why hadn't she woken up yet? Was she really that drunk?
Mu Xi looked at Feng Han without saying a word. Feng Han's eyes gradually turned slightly red. He took a deep breath and said, "My wife, don't worry. I will take good care of myself and our child. If you still have me in your heart, it doesn't mean we will never see each other again. I will be a good father, and you will definitely be a good mother. Our child will grow up safely, healthily, and happily."
Feng Han bit his lip and said, "If...if my wife agrees, I can bring the child to see you from time to time."
He sniffed and said, "I originally thought about abandoning everything in Beiqu Pavilion and going with my wife, but obviously that's not possible. My foundation is not stable yet, and my wife's whereabouts need to be kept secret. If Beiqu Pavilion is gone, or handed over to someone else, my wife will be in danger, so I can't leave."
Mu Xi finally figured it out. This wasn't a dream at all.
It was really Fenghan talking to her.
"Why?" Mu Xi asked him, "Why are you suddenly telling me this?"
New Year's Day...
"Because I want my wife to see my sincerity." Feng Han said: "I didn't do this on impulse. I thought about it for a long time before I decided to let go for my wife. Since my wife is willing to stay for me, why can't I do it?"
Mu Xi understood.
She fell into a long silence.
Feng Han waited anxiously.
After a long time, Mu Xi didn't say anything, and Feng Han began to feel anxious.
He mustered up all his courage to tell Mu Xi so much of his inner thoughts in one breath, but why didn't Mu Xi respond at all?
What on earth was she thinking right now? Why, after all this time, did she still not know what she was thinking?
"My wife..."
"Actually..." Mu Xi suddenly spoke, and Feng Han immediately shut up and pretended to listen attentively, "I think this name sounds better."
Feng Han had just blinked when Mu Xi's drunken lips pressed against his.
After the kiss, Feng Han heard Mu Xi ask, "Didn't Doctor Bai say that it wouldn't be a problem now?"
Feng Han didn't understand it for a moment, and when he finally understood, his face turned red, but he still nodded anxiously and expectantly.
