Chapter 637: d.a.m.n It, Jerk!
If she was really pregnant, wouldn’t all her efforts be in vain?
No way, simply no way!
Mu Xichen saw her panic and sat back with a straight face. He buckled his seat belt and slowly started the car. He said sullenly, “Let’s go to the hospital for a checkup.”
“No,” Li Beinian said weakly. “What if we get photographed…”
“Why are you being so troublesome?” Mu Xichen was slightly annoyed and glared at her. “Go for a checkup. If you’re pregnant, we’ll have the baby. You will stop filming, go home and rest up for the pregnancy!”
When Li Beinian heard this, her eyes burned. She broke down in tears.
Aggrieved, she said as tears rolled down her cheeks, “I don’t want to!”
Mu Xichen suddenly slammed on the brakes. He frowned deeply to see her this upset.
He hurriedly grabbed two napkins for her to dry her eyes and said, “Why are you crying? We don’t even know this for sure. Stop crying.”
Mu Xichen had also heard that pregnant women shouldn’t cry.
It wasn’t good for the child or the mother’s eyes.
Crying while pregnant could easily hurt the eyes.
Of course, Mu Xichen wouldn’t say this out loud.
He held her and comforted her helplessly. “Alright, alright. Let’s not go to the hospital. We’ll buy a pregnancy test kit.”
Only then did Li Beinian stop crying. She pushed him and said in a choked voice, “Hurry up and drive. We’ll be done for if someone sees us!”
Mu Xichen did not reply to the remark.
He wordlessly started the car as his thoughts started spinning.
It is good to be pregnant now!
It’s said that being a mother at a young age is good for the body.
Mu Xichen had heard of such a saying and he also knew that women’s emotions were unstable during pregnancy.
Now that she was crying, she must be pregnant for sure.
He was inexplicably happy. Unconsciously, his expression softened.
Li Beinian understood him very well and the moment she read his expression, she knew what he was thinking.
Seriously!
The jerk!
Fuming mad, she leaned back in her seat and looked out of the window, so angry that she refused to speak.
Mu Xichen drove into the city and stopped in front of a large pharmacy.
He told Li Beinian to wait in the car, and got out. Then as he entered the pharmacy, a nurse came up to him.
“I want a pregnancy test kit.”
He went straight to the point.
Mu Xichen felt his heart swell up with pride as he said this.
The nurse, who had found him to be extremely attractive, felt a little regretful on hearing this.
She brought him to the birth planning items and asked, “How long has she been pregnant?”
“I don’t know.”
“You can try the pregnancy test paper. It will be more expensive…”
“Yes, I’ll take that. Even the one testing a later stage pregnancy, I want one that’s more accurate.”
“Sure.” The nurse was all smiles. After selecting seven or eight kits for him, she told him all sorts of things to take note of and specifically reminded him, “The first pee in the morning is the most accurate. If you forget to do it first thing in the morning, you may instead hold your bladder for more than four hours. Remember not to drink water, it will affect the quality of your urine.”
When Mu Xichen returned to the car, he tossed the large bag of pregnancy test kits at Li Beinian.
He repeated the nurse’s words and said solemnly, “In your state of mind, are you still able to go to Grandpa’s?”
No, not really.
Li Beinian struggled for a moment, and decided not to go.
To ensure the accuracy of the pregnancy test, Mu Xichen specially applied for leave on her behalf.
Naturally, he told Yang Dawu the whole story, to provide the reason for the leave application.
As for what Yang Dawu told his subordinates, it was none of his business.
