Chapter 100: She might be pregnant.
Xie Chen soaked a new tissue in water for him, and Mu Yan took the tissue, then leaned over and carefully wiped away the dirt from his face bit by bit.
I really wanted to wipe myself clean...
Xie Chen paused slightly. The damp tissue felt cool and soothing as it wiped his face. Mu Yan was very close; Xie Chen could feel every breath he exhaled.
People around Xie Chen both respected and feared him; it seemed like it had been a long time since anyone had gotten this close to him.
This feeling was unfamiliar, and because he wasn't used to it, Xie Chen's heart started beating a little fast. When Mu Yan helped him wipe his face and sat back in his seat, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He took off his coat and draped it over Mu Yan's shoulders.
"You should rest for a bit; we'll be ashore in a few hours."
The coat, still warm from the man's body, fell onto Mu Yan's shoulder, causing him to instinctively flinch and glance up at the man.
The men themselves weren't wearing much either; even an A-grade or S-grade alpha would probably be cold.
Mu Yan shook her head, indicating that she wasn't cold, and handed the clothes back to the man.
“It’s getting dark, and it’ll get cold at sea soon. You’re more likely to catch a cold if you’re asleep.” The man didn’t take the clothes, but instead covered Mu Yan with them again. “I’m not cold. My constitution is different from yours. I know what I’m doing and I won’t let myself get cold and sick. You can wear these on, and cover your legs with them when you’re not cold.”
Mu Yan typed on his phone: "I'm not sleeping. You're sailing the boat, I'll go with you. When you're on a long voyage, you definitely need someone to talk to."
"I'm not driving the boat," the stubborn kid said, leaving Xie Chen somewhat helpless. "I just want to keep an eye on the automatic cruise control to see if it veers off course or crashes into other boats. It doesn't require much effort, and it's okay if I accidentally fall asleep..."
"This kind of boat is prone to rocking; if you don't sleep, you'll get seasick."
Before he finished speaking, the ship rocked violently, its hull crashing into the waves. The entire ship seemed to be lifted up by the waves before crashing back onto the sea.
Mu Yan wasn't prepared. As the boat rocked, his body swayed violently, and his face turned pale instantly. After recovering, he clutched his chest and gagged.
The man quickly caught him, patted his back gently a few times, and handed him electrolyte water: "Drink some, just bear with it a little longer... Take a nap, you'll feel much better if you sleep."
"Close your eyes and don't stare at one spot."
After a long day, Mu Yan was exhausted from fear and anxiety. He didn't want to trouble the man any further by making him take care of him, so he obediently closed his eyes.
He was so tired that he soon slumped down and fell asleep.
When he was tired and under a lot of psychological stress, he often had many dreams. Mu Yan had a dream shortly after closing his eyes.
At first, it was a very real dream. He woke up in the hospital and received a call from Xiang Zhuo.
Xiang Zhuo said that Mu Juanhua's surgery had gone wrong and urged him to come back quickly. Mu Yan asked him what went wrong, and Xiang Zhuo only told him to come back quickly. In the background, there was also Jiajia's crying. She kept calling for her father.
Mu Yan was anxious and immediately bought a plane ticket to go back. There were so many people at the airport that he couldn't get a taxi, not even a black cab.
Finally, he ran all the way to the hospital. He was panting heavily and almost fainted. There were two beds in the ward, both covered with white sheets. Ignoring the doctor's objections, Mu Yan lifted the white sheet on the bed he thought belonged to Mu Juanhua, only to see Lin Yi's face.
"The surgery was unsuccessful; neither the donor nor the patient survived." The doctor's voice was cold and harsh, mixed with Jiajia's heart-wrenching cries.
How could this be, how could this be.........
My brother and he had been tested for matching from the beginning, but they were not a match. Otherwise, the transplant would not have been delayed until now.
This definitely isn't his brother. His brother definitely isn't dead, and his mother definitely isn't dead either...
Mu Yan felt like he was drowning, gradually finding it difficult to breathe. He also felt as if he had suddenly appeared in the deep sea, facing the seabed, unable to see how deep it was, and slowly sinking.
"Mu Yan!" Someone suddenly called his name from behind. Someone grabbed his waist, lifted him up, and swam upwards with force.
"Don't save me," Mu Yan murmured. "It's so far. Swim by yourself. Don't die here with me."
As if as punishment, the man swam upwards while biting Mu Yan hard on the back of his neck, leaving an ambiguous red mark. Mu Yan sobbed and apologized several times, saying "I was wrong," and hugged the man's waist tightly. Only then did the man release the back of his neck.
The man's arms were broad and strong, and in an instant, he leaped across hundreds of meters of deep sea and emerged from the ocean. He gently reassured Mu Yan, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, we're safe now."
With seawater in his eyes, Mu Yan couldn't open them and couldn't see who it was. Then, his face was cupped, and a kiss with the taste of wet, salty seawater landed on his lips.
But the person who had been holding him from behind hadn't let go. How could someone have four hands? Before Mu Yan could feel strange or surprised, the atrophied gland on his neck was gently bitten.
It wasn't pain, but a slight itch.
"Mmm..." Mu Yan protested softly, "Don't bite me, I hate you..."
"He can bite, but why?" Another voice came from a place that wasn't in front of or behind him. Only then did Mu Yan realize that the person who had just bitten his gland was actually a third person.
"You just can't," Mu Yan thought, feeling a little aggrieved.
"Okay, I won't bite anymore... I was wrong, please don't hate me..."
........
Seeing Mu Yan nodding his head, Xie Chen gently pulled him closer to him, letting him rest his head on his shoulder.
Mu Yan's warm breath brushed against Xie Chen's neck. Xie Chen didn't say anything more, but simply adjusted his position to make him more comfortable.
Xie Chen turned his head slightly and saw that he was frowning slightly, as if he had something on his mind.
He thought that this wouldn't happen again. With him and He Qingyun by his side, Mu Yan wouldn't have to suffer any more grievances.
Three hours later, they arrived at the nearest port.
The assistant and the ambulance were already waiting there. Mu Yan was fast asleep, and Xie Chen carried him directly into the ambulance.
When the assistant first heard that Xie Chen was determined to rescue the hostage from Country C, he was a little confused. But the moment he saw Mu Yan, he understood everything.
The first time he helped Xie Chen investigate Mu Yan was after Xie Chen went to Yunlin Temple. He didn't actually connect it to He Qingyun at all, and just thought that the young master had suddenly fallen in love with someone at first sight. So he went to investigate Mu Yan's family background and work experience and sent it to Xie Chen.
At 24, I graduated from the Computer Science Department of University A. My parents divorced when I was 14, and I lived with my mother, who suffers from kidney failure. I started working part-time while studying after graduating from high school to support my family and take care of my mother. After graduation, I worked for Xinqi, a Fortune 500 company. The salary was neither high nor low, but the prospects were good.
After Xie Chen saw it, he didn't let him investigate any further.
The assistant never imagined that he was actually very close to the truth at that time. Mu Yan was the child that He Qingyun had given birth to in Country C. However, for some reason, when he first investigated, he did not find out that Mu Juanhua was his stepmother, not his biological mother.
"Young Master, should we tell Madam He?" the assistant asked in a low voice.
The beta youth in his arms hummed softly in his sleep. Xie Chen hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
If I tell He Qingyun now, she will definitely rush over to see Mu Yan immediately. She has been looking for Mu Yan for so many years, and she will definitely be very emotional. She will definitely accidentally let something slip when they meet.
Mu Yan is not in good mental condition right now, and his medical report says he also has a heart problem. It's best not to let him know about it now.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctor gave Mu Yan a simple physical examination. The assistant insisted that Xie Chen also get checked, saying that no one knew if there were any unseen internal injuries.
Xie Chen said he'd read too many martial arts novels; didn't he know whether he was injured or not?
“Young Master, this is a hospital, not our private doctor’s office,” the assistant said helplessly, speaking in a voice only the two of them could hear. “You’ve been staring at the doctors and nurses so much that they’re sweating with tension on the back of their necks.”
"..." Xie Chen paused for a moment, "Am I that scary?"
The assistant was speechless when he was being stared at, but thankfully, after only a few seconds, Xie Chen seemed to remember something and looked down at his blood-stained clothes.
"I'm going to take a shower at a nearby hotel. You stay here and watch over him. Also, please ask someone to bring me some clothes."
Xie Chen went to the nearest small hotel, booked a cheap room for a few dozen dollars, took a shower, changed into the clothes his assistant brought, and rushed back to the hospital.
When Xie Chen pushed the door open, he found that Mu Yan was already awake. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking down at the medical report.
When the assistant saw him, he was about to say something when he saw Xie Chen walk straight up to Mu Yan.
"What did the doctor say?" he asked Mu Yan, "Is it necessary to stay in the hospital for observation, or can I go home?"
When Mu Yan saw him, she subconsciously tried to put away the medical report. Xie Chen sensed something was wrong and instinctively reached out to take it.
Realizing how presumptuous he had been, he quickly and awkwardly withdrew his hand. Xie Chengjun's controlling nature was astonishing, and he had inevitably inherited some of it.
This controlling nature is especially pronounced when it comes to people he cares about. He usually tries his best to control it, but when he's anxious, he sometimes inadvertently reveals it.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy. I was just a little worried about you. How are you? Do you need to be hospitalized? If not, I'll send you back to your country tonight."
"Bodyguard... sir, I," Mu Yan stammered, then quickly trailed off, unable to continue. "I..."
Xie Chen handed over his phone and patiently waited for Mu Yan to type a reply. However, Mu Yan's inability to speak didn't seem to be entirely due to loss of voice. He typed several times on the phone, only to delete them all at once.
When the assistant heard this address and saw Xie Chen's serious and calm expression, he couldn't help but want to laugh, even though it was a bit inappropriate.
The nurse came in at the right moment: "Mr. Mu, would it be convenient for you to cooperate with the blood draw now?"
"Why do we need to draw blood?" Xie Chen frowned, clearly displeased. "What kind of test is it? Can we skip it? He's already a bit anemic, and he just lost a lot of blood from his injury."
"The blood hCG test indicates that Mr. Mu may be pregnant."
