Mu Jiu Chen took the medicine and went straight back to the ward by elevator.
Li Qing Shuo had woken up and was lying in bed, groaning.
The kick to his stomach had hurt quite a bit.
Seeing Mu Jiu Chen enter, his expression was sour: "Hmph!"
Mu Jiu Chen placed the medicine on the table.
He smiled at him and said, "You still have the energy to hmph, so you're fine. But is your son fine?"
Li Qing Shuo looked at Mu Jiu Chen with a dumbfounded expression: "Are you crazy? Am I the idiot or are you the idiot? I don't even have a wife, so where would I get a son?"
Mu Jiu Chen thought for a moment. He wanted to help his brother but didn't want to offend his wife, so he said, "Never mind, I didn't say anything."
Li Qing Shuo looked Mu Jiu Chen up and down. This was interesting. He didn't seem like someone who liked to meddle in other people's business.
No, that didn't sound right. He'd heard something familiar in those words.
"You said my son, where did I get a son from?" Li Qing Shuo asked, full of confusion. "No, are you hiding something from me? You're not the type of person to meddle in other people's business."
Mu Jiu Chen had grown up with him, and he knew his personality.
Mu Jiu Chen shook his head quickly, deciding to betray his good friend.
"Say it then. Don't I know you? The more you shake your head, the more it proves you're guilty. Do you know what I'm best at? I'm best at pouring wine for others, and when I pour wine, I'm best at seeing through people's thoughts."
Mu Jiu Chen sneered, "You're not pouring wine now, so what are you trying to see?"
"You don't need to look. I can tell at a glance that you're hiding something from me. Do I still need to pour wine for you? Just tell me, where did I get a son from?" As Li Qing Shuo said this, he suddenly remembered something.
He wanted to sit up, but his stomach hurt, and any movement caused intense pain.
Li Qing Shuo was utterly frustrated. He had almost been kicked to death by Jiang Nuan.
"Xiao Jiu, I remember you asked a question that night: what if that woman got pregnant? Right?" Li Qing Shuo looked at Mu Jiu Chen in surprise.
He suddenly recalled the scene at the hospital. That woman was friends with Jiang Nuan.
"So, she's pregnant?" Li Qing Shuo's voice cracked with surprise, like a sudden storm.
Mu Jiu Chen's expression turned grim. He sat down steadily on a nearby stool.
"You said that, I never said such a thing."
"Then how did you know it was a son?" Li Qing Shuo was stunned. He... he was too amazing. He got it right on the first try.
Mu Jiu Chen's eyes flickered, and he lowered his gaze. "Nuan Nuan said it, but she didn't want me to tell you. She also felt that not telling you would be unfair to you. Now it's good, I've finally put myself in a difficult position."
Mu Jiu Chen was also somewhat reluctant. Thinking of his three precious children, he felt that the little life shouldn't be lost so easily.
Li Qing Shuo was furious hearing this. He glared at Mu Jiu Chen and roared, "Mu Jiu Chen, when did you start listening to a woman so much? That's my son, do you hear me? What right do you have to decide for me?"
After speaking, Li Qing Shuo struggled to get up, but his stomach hurt terribly.
He glared angrily at Mu Jiu Chen and shouted, "Help me up! Don't you have eyes? If my son is gone, you'll pay me."
Mu Jiu Chen remained seated, saying nonchalantly, "What use is it for you to go there now? Both of us will be despised to death, do you know that?"
"I'm telling you this so you know about it. You're not dating, nor are you married. What right do you have to stop it?"
"I am the child's father, how can I not have the right to stop it?" Li Qing Shuo struggled to get up again, but after a few attempts, he had to lie back down due to the pain.
Seeing this, Mu Jiu Chen asked the nurse to bring a wheelchair and had Li Qing Shuo sit in it.
He asked the nurse which department pregnant women went to and then pushed Li Qing Shuo to the fifth floor of the obstetrics and gynecology department.
As they entered the elevator, Li Qing Shuo's gaze was complex. He had been impulsive earlier, but now he wondered if he had been too rash.
Could he pretend not to know?
No, that was his son.
A son could stay by his side forever, but money in his pocket was the most fickle and disloyal thing. It was in his hands today and in someone else's tomorrow.
"Xiao Jiu, did you see the three children who are trending online recently? One is a cat-faced singer, one is a gaming master, and one is a chess master. I really want to have children like that. I wonder which scoundrel is so lucky to have such intelligent children. I'm simply too envious."
Mu Jiu Chen glared down at him, "Li Qing Shuo, look up at me."
Li Qing Shuo looked up at him with a displeased expression.
"What are you looking at me for? I know your face is enchanting and very handsome. I'll go gay if I look at you."
Mu Jiu Chen: "..." So he had such thoughts. It was too terrifying. Fortunately, he was straight.
"Li Qing Shuo, the scoundrel you're talking about is me. The person you envy is me. I am the father of those three children." Mu Jiu Chen said with immense pride. His children were just so intelligent and lively.
"Heh heh..." Li Qing Shuo chuckled. What was going on today?
Why was he hearing such shocking things?
He must be dreaming.
No, no. He must have had a mental breakdown after getting drunk last night and was having delusions.
"What are you laughing at?" Mu Jiu Chen stared intently at him.
Looking at his expression, he clearly didn't believe what he was saying.
"Xiao Jiu, this dream is quite long. Why haven't I woken up yet?"
Mu Jiu Chen: "..."
"Bang..." He hit Li Qing Shuo hard on the head.
"Ah... why did you hit me?" Li Qing Shuo felt like he was being abused. These two must be doing it on purpose.
One hit his head, and the other kicked his stomach.
"Hmph! Do you still think you're dreaming?" Mu Jiu Chen looked at the floor indicator, pushed him out of the elevator.
As soon as they entered, they saw many pregnant women. The sight of pregnant women everywhere suddenly changed Mu Jiu Chen's mood. It was his first time in such a place, and he saw some pregnant women accompanied by their old friends for their prenatal check-ups.
Every face was beaming with happiness, anticipating the safe birth of the little life.
This was also a scene he had never witnessed before.
Mu Jiu Chen's heart ached. Had Nuan Nuan come for her prenatal check-ups alone at that time?
He always regretted not finding her sooner.
Li Qing Shuo was now completely awake. Seeing the pregnant women here, he felt a very special kind of feeling.
His family was not happy. After his parents got married, they had little time together. His father eventually had an affair and had a child outside, that child being Li Qing Feng, who was always idle, living off women. He despised such people the most.
His mother, in order to have a complete family, had held the entire family together, giving him a complete home.
But he didn't feel happy. His father and mother didn't love each other, and even when the whole family was together at home, there was nothing to talk about.
Li Qing Shuo's feelings were hard to describe.
Mu Jiu Chen suddenly saw Jiang Nuan and pushed Li Qing Shuo to hide in a corner.
