These two chorus-like exclamations of surprise drew the attention of everyone else in the courtyard, all of whom looked astonished.
"Yes, but we had a few words, and she sulked and hid here. I came here to take her back. Please help me persuade her." Shen Muzhi had a cold demeanor, and when he lied, no one thought it was a lie.
Everyone else in the courtyard thought it was just a quarrel between the young couple. Even the director smiled and said, "Couples always make up after a fight. Since Xiao Xiang is pregnant, it's not appropriate for her to stay here. I'll try to persuade her."
“No wonder Xiao Xiang vomits every morning. She really needs to go home and rest. Don’t worry, we’ll all talk to her about it,” another auntie chimed in.
Immediately, the courtyard was filled with echoes of agreement.
Xiang Zhilan had no idea that all her coworkers had defected. After teaching the children, she took them out for extracurricular activities. Seeing that Shen Muzhi was still there, she went over and whispered, "Go back."
Now, just seeing him makes her feel uneasy. He is the father of her child, and she caused him to lose his leg. Their relationship is truly entangled in a complex web of emotions.
Shen Muzhi glanced at her indifferently, without responding, and turned his wheelchair toward the children.
He used to think children were noisy and annoying, but now he sees them as innocent and lively. This may be related to his impending fatherhood, which has brought about a subtle change in his mindset.
Xiang Zhilan felt particularly helpless; she couldn't get rid of him, so she had no choice but to ignore him.
"Xiao Xiang, come here for a moment." The dean beckoned to Xiang Zhilan.
Xiang Zhilan immediately walked over, but she did not expect the dean to say such things to her, urging her to leave.
"Did I do something wrong?" she asked anxiously, pursing her lips.
“How could that be? You did a great job, but there’s a lack of supplies here, and the accommodations aren’t really suitable for pregnant women. It’s also far from the hospital. If something happened to you here, I would feel terrible.” The director patted Xiang Zhilan on the shoulder and said earnestly, “It’s good for the couple to bicker. But being away from home for too long can affect their relationship.”
Xiang Zhilan was speechless. How did the dean know she was pregnant? And what was this "young couple" nonsense?
She frowned, turned and ran towards Shen Muzhi.
"Hey, Xiao Xiang, you can't run away now!"
Xiang Zhilan had only run a few steps when she was stopped and given another round of earnest advice.
Suddenly, a group of female workers surrounded him and started offering their advice.
Xiang Zhilan had no choice but to comply with their words, and quickly shed her shell and ran away when she found an opening.
"Shen Muzhi! What nonsense did you spout to them?!" She stood in front of him, panting, staring at him.
Shen Mu's face remained expressionless, but a faint smile played in his eyes.
Xiang Zhilan was so angry she didn't know what to say. He actually spread the news of her pregnancy everywhere! He was trying to force her into marriage through public opinion!
"Teacher Xiang, when are you going to have a baby?" The children gathered around her, looking at her with expectant faces.
Xiang Zhilan glared at him. He actually didn't even spare the children!
"Shen Muzhi, don't think I'll agree just because you said that!" she said angrily.
“I didn’t expect you to agree just like that.” Shen Muzhi pushed his wheelchair closer to her. “I don’t need your agreement either.”
Xiang Zhilan was slightly stunned, still wondering if he had given up, when suddenly he saw him stand up from his wheelchair.
