Late at night. Zhong Family Home.
After Mother Zhong finished making a series of phone calls, Tang Xuan finally approached, "Mom, how did it go?"
"Everything has been arranged. The doctor responsible for Tangning's examination has already received her payment. She wouldn't dare to refuse," Mother Zhong comforted as she patted Tang Xuan on the back of her hand. Mother Zhong patted Tang Xuan on the back of her hand comfortingly. "I've also arranged for the media to find out that Tangning can't get pregnant. Let's see how she's going to survive in the Mo Family."
"Most importantly, you are currently pregnant. It's about time you start planning your return to the Tang Family."
Tang Xuan rubbed her stomach. This child was her final bargaining chip. She couldn't afford to make any more mistakes...
"I've long since sent people to keep an eye on your grandfather's movements. Ever since Tang Corps was taken over by Xia Yuling, his life has become extremely leisurely. But, on the 20th of every month, he would visit an orphanage owned by Tang Corps to see the helpless children. This is a reflection of his desire to have a great-grandchild."
"When the time comes, we will arrange a meeting nearby for you to meet."
After hearing Mother Zhong's plan, Tang Xuan's eyes lit up with a sharp light. Over the past few months, she had already endured to the limit. This time, she was going to make Tangning and her son suffer a fate worse than death.
...
After returning home from the hospital, Tangning tiptoed into the study room. Seeing Mo Ting sitting in his office chair, she gently leaned against his back and sat down.
Mo Ting was flipping through some documents when he sensed the woman behind him. He did not turn around as he asked, "What's wrong? Is it because of Long Jie again? "
"Yes. Why hasn't Lu Che resolved Long Jie's worries after so long?" Tangning asked helplessly. "This is Long Jie. On the surface, she appears to be careless, but in reality, she is more sensitive and meticulous than anyone else. She cares too much about Lu Che."
"Since you're tired, go get some rest." Mo Ting turned around and pulled her into his embrace as he gently stroked her hair. "Who cares about my wife?"
Tangning breathed in the scent of Mo Ting's body as she stood up from his embrace, "OK... from now on, I will care about my husband..."
"Go have a shower. We need to go to the hospital tomorrow."
Tangning placed a gentle kiss on his cheek before turning around to leave. As he had a check-up the next day, Mo Ting did not do anything to her that night. He simply hugged her and coaxed her until she fell asleep. Only then did he get out of bed and give Lu Che a phone call.
In the middle of the night, Lu Che received a phone call. After returning to bed, he shook Long Jie awake and asked in seriousness, "What did you do today?"
"Huh?" Long Jie rubbed her eyes sleepily.
"Just now, the president called me and scolded me in a roundabout way. He told me to control my wife and not to always burden his wife." Lu Che looked at Long Jie helplessly, "Tell me, what did you do this time that I don't know about?"
"I …"
Lu Che looked at Long Jie for a moment. In the end, he seemed to have guessed the answer, "It's because of the child, isn't it?"
"…"
"I told you a long time ago that I don't care. Why do you keep forcing yourself?" Lu Che asked as he furrowed his brows. "How can I make you believe that no matter what happens, I won't leave you and will protect our family?"
Long Jie leaned against Lu Che's body and lowered her head, "I feel like I'm becoming more and more unfamiliar with myself. You and Tangning are right, I'm the one that can't let go. From now on, I will tell you everything and won't hide anything from you."
"Can I still trust your words?"
"I swear!" Long Jie raised her hand in a serious manner. It was almost like a ritual. "This time, I'm serious."
"I've already spoken to my parents. They won't rush us to have children. You can have them whenever you want. It's fine if you don't want them."
"OK," Long Jie nodded her head. She suddenly felt like she was being quite silly.
"Tomorrow is the President and Madam's wedding anniversary, yet the Madam has been taken over by you for the entire night. No wonder the President is angry. Can't you be a little more observant?"
"You've never been fierce to me," Long Jie felt wronged.
"OK, go to sleep … I'll just curse you in my heart." Lu Che hugged Long Jie once again and covered the couple with the blanket. Deep down, he knew that everything Long Jie did, was for his sake.
He and Long Jie were insignificant people, so he simply wanted to protect his family.
If he couldn't even protect Long Jie's heart, then what right did he have to be someone else's husband?
…
The next day.
Tangning woke up in bed and noticed Mo Ting looking at her. She quickly cupped her face in her hands and said, "I just woke up. I haven't even washed up yet."
"No, you're still as beautiful as ever," Mo Ting said as he placed a kiss on her forehead. "Happy wedding anniversary, wifey."
Tangning hooked her arms around Mo Ting's neck and the couple hugged each other tightly. A moment later, Tangning looked at the time and struggled to get up, "I'm going to go wash up first. After that, we'll go to the hospital together."
"OK," Mo Ting nodded.
Tangning got up first while Mo Ting tidied up the bed. At this time, Tangning's phone began to vibrate. It was an unknown number.
Mo Ting picked up the phone and heard the person on the other end say, "Hello Miss Tang, the results of the HCG test you did yesterday at Beijing Hospital have come out. According to the report, you are pregnant. May I ask when it would be convenient for you to come to the hospital for a follow-up?"
Hearing the word 'pregnant', Mo Ting froze …
"Miss Tang? Are you listening? "
"I am her husband. What did you just say about Tangning?" Mo Ting asked uncertainly.
"Hello, errr … according to the report, Miss Tang is pregnant," the person on the other end of the line politely repeated after hearing the deep and pleasant voice of a man.
Tangning's husband … wasn't that Mo Ting?
"However, the results are not completely accurate. So, we suggest Miss Tang come for another ultrasound."
"Thank you, but I already have plans," Mo Ting replied calmly before hanging up the phone. Mo Ting pretended to be calm as he hung up the phone. At this moment, his emotions were extremely complicated. Tangning was pregnant?
Pregnant …
Pregnant …
These three words filled Mo Ting's mind until Tangning finished washing up and walked out of the bathroom.
Seeing Mo Ting still standing by the bedside, Tangning couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?"
Mo Ting looked at Tangning and subconsciously looked at her stomach. He then smiled, "It's nothing. Go downstairs and wait for me. I'll make breakfast. Don't move around too much. We'll go to the hospital in a bit."
"OK."
As Mo Ting was used to not allowing Tangning into the kitchen, she did not think too much about it. As for Mo Ting, he did not immediately say anything. Firstly, he wanted to confirm his suspicions. Secondly, he was at a complete loss and had no idea what to do...
