He stood there, stunned, overwhelmed with joy and excitement.
Finally regaining his senses, Huo Yan tried to calm his inner turmoil, took a deep breath, and asked, "But... how did you know?"
Fu Xinrou sighed softly, a hint of guilt in her eyes, and slowly replied, "It was my brother who told me. He said that when they were in Qingshan County, Miss Su had come to see him and told him about this in person."
After listening to Fu Xinrou's words, Huo Yan fell into deep thought. Recalling how he rushed back to the capital, only to leave Su Ruanruan and her unborn child behind, which led to her being captured, he was filled with regret and self-blame.
Fu Xinrou's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Huo Yan, whose face was contorted with pain. Her voice choked with sobs, "I'm so sorry, Brother Huo! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have left Qingshan County so early, and you wouldn't have left Miss Su and her unborn child there... It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about these things anymore." Wei Zheng recalled what Su Ruanruan had said in the carriage last night, and coupled with Fu Hengfeng's matter, he felt uneasy and restless, as if something bad was about to happen.
So he hurriedly pushed Huo Yan out of the clinic and instructed, "You should go and check on her quickly. I'll keep an eye on things here."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yan's face immediately lit up with a long-lost smile, his joy barely contained. "Mm."
As Huo Yan strode forward, she happily imagined her wonderful future life—if she gave birth to a daughter, she would definitely be as sweet, lovely, obedient, and clever as her.
If the child is a boy, I will definitely teach him martial arts skills carefully in the future, hoping that he will grow up to be a brave, fearless, and loyal person who serves his country.
On the street, he couldn't help but glance at other people's children a few more times. He also couldn't resist buying cute tiger-head hats and little shoes.
He was extremely anxious and wanted to bring Ruan Ruan home immediately to rest and recuperate. If she continued to be stubborn with him, he would carry her back even if it meant doing so himself.
However, when he rushed to the inn, he saw a basin of scarlet blood being carried out of Su Ruanruan's room.
Upon seeing Huo Yan, Zi Wu was speechless with astonishment.
"What happened?" Huo Yan demanded sharply. "Could it be that something happened to Ruan Ruan?"
Zi Wu stammered, seemingly having something difficult to say. Huo Yan was anxious and didn't want to get entangled with her, so he strode into the room.
Su Ruanruan sat quietly on the bed, her hair disheveled and her face as pale as paper, as if all her energy had been drained away.
"Ruanruan, what's wrong? But... but where does it hurt? Is it the baby in your belly...?"
"I'll find you a doctor right away."
Su Ruanruan then stared at him, and said sadly, "Huo Yan, the child is gone."
Huo Yan's eyes widened slightly, his body trembling uncontrollably. He whispered in disbelief, "The child... is gone? My child with you... is gone?"
He slowly lowered his head, his gaze falling on the tiger-head hat and little shoes in his arms, muttering to himself in a voice so soft it seemed it might dissipate in the wind at any moment, "Gone..."
On the way here, he was still immersed in the joy of becoming the happiest person, but in just half an hour, his beautiful dream shattered like a bubble.

There are only seventeen or eighteen chapters left until the finale. Su Ruanruan isn't the main female lead; she's actually quite fragile. Regardless of the ending or how it unfolds, I hope you won't give me bad reviews or scold me. Thank you everyone. Love you all!
