Why does it look so much like her... Could she be pregnant?
The thought of that possibility made Xia Bingqing feel uncomfortable, a tightness in her chest pressing down on her skin. That little bitch…
...
Philadelphia, downtown hospital.
"President Mu, congratulations."
The doctor walked in from outside the ward, beaming with delight, holding the lab results he had just received.
Yi Yi was sulking with Mu Nanxun, but this "congratulations" successfully diverted her attention, and she looked at the doctor with Mu Nanxun.
Before Mu Nanxun and Yi Yi could ask any questions, the doctor handed them the test results and said with a joyful expression, "Congratulations, Mr. Mu and Mrs. Mu, you two are expecting your child."
"child?"
"child?"
Yi Yi and Mu Nanxun spoke at the same time, their voices tinged with disbelief.
They couldn't understand some of the things on the lab reports, but they could understand what the doctor was saying.
"Doctor, do you mean... I'm pregnant?"
Yi looked over nervously and excitedly, her right hand instinctively grabbing Mu Nanxun's hand. The latter grasped her hand in return, and looked at the doctor with her, anticipating his next response.
The doctor nodded and confirmed, "Yes, madam, you are pregnant, three months along. Your period has been late for a while now, haven't you noticed at all?"
Yi paused for a moment, then unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.
Her period had indeed been late for a while, but she was a spirit fox, unlike humans who menstruate monthly. Their periods typically only occurred once a year, so the absence of her period for the past few months was not surprising at all.
Unexpectedly, she became pregnant.
She's pregnant.
It's her and Mu Nanxun's baby.
"You've worked hard, you can go now."
People are in high spirits when they have good news. Mu Nanxun's usually cold face, when facing outsiders, actually broke into a smile and became much more amiable. However, he remained calm.
When the doctor left the ward and only the two of them remained, Mu Nanxun's feigned composure in front of others instantly crumbled.
"Yi Yi, Yi Yi, can you hear that? We have our own child. Is it true? Could I have misheard? Or is there something wrong with the checkup?! Yi Yi, this is your baby and mine. Let me hear if he calls me Dad."
Mu Nanxun took a deep breath solemnly and then slowly exhaled. He was eager to lie on her stomach, but seemed worried that he might be clumsy and hurt the baby inside. His cautious yet hurried manner really resembled that of a naive young man who had never seen the world.
Tch, acting so calm and nonchalant in front of outsiders, but actually she's happier and more excited than anyone else!
"What are you doing!" Yi Yi lightly patted his head, silently rolling her eyes. Sure enough, he was a first-time father and didn't know any common sense. "Your baby is only three months old, still in your belly, tiny little thing, how could it call for dad?"
“Why not?” Mu Nanxun said dismissively. “My child is naturally different from ordinary children. How can you measure him by the standards of ordinary children?”
"Even a genius wouldn't call someone 'Dad' these days. Unless they're a monster..."
It was originally just a joke, and Yi Yi herself said it, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she felt inexplicably worried.
