Seeing what was happening, the staff all panicked and froze. Zhao Yi even exclaimed, "Oh my! You really get what you"re afraid of! We tried so hard to prevent accidents from happening and it still happened!"
Gong Yu held onto Yun Muxi and kept on calling her name. There was no response. Gong Yu would have thought that she was dead if not for her moving chest that showed that she was still breathing.
The stage supervisor pa.s.sed him a towel and he quickly wrapped it around Yun Muxi. He held her in his arms even tighter.
Gong Yu was already beyond fl.u.s.tered. It was nearing summer and the temperature was quite warm. However, the body he was touching was still cold, which caused him to feel very uneasy.
The ambulance arrived at the scene very quickly. Gong Yu carried Yun Muxi as he dashed onto the vehicle. Zhao Yi and some others followed closely behind with the crew"s cars.
The rapid siren was not just asking cars on the road to make way. It was even more like a torturous sound that made it impossible for Gong Yu to find peace in his heart. As time pa.s.sed, he panicked even more.
When the ambulance arrived at the hospital, medical staff were already lined up at the front door. They quickly moved Yun Muxi onto the gurney. Their actions were fast yet orderly. They did not panic a single bit as they entered the operating room. The only one who was panicking was Gong Yu. He waited anxiously as he watched the busy medical staff do their job.
The rescue work ended very soon. A doctor with spectacles stepped out and asked, "Which of you is the patient"s family?"
Gong Yu immediately rushed forward. "Doctor, I am!"
Zhao Yi and the rest also gathered around the doctor with concerned looks on their faces. "Doctor, how"s the patient?"
The doctor looked at Gong Yu and chuckled, "Congratulations, sir."
Everyone was shocked to see the doctor laughing. Yun Muxi pa.s.sed out after falling into the river and was currently still unconscious. But the doctor was congratulating them? What logic was this?
Gong Yu asked the doctor with a puzzled look, "Doctor, what do you mean?"
"Sir, you"re her husband, right? Your wife is pregnant, and she has just reached four weeks. She probably suffered some external force and on top of that, she also fell into the river. Luckily, while it did put the baby at risk, the baby was not hurt. There should not be a big problem, so all she will need is to rest. However, we can only know more after transferring her to the obstetrics to do more checks."
At that instant, Gong Yu felt like time had frozen and his surrounding became silent. Only the word "pregnant" kept replaying in his mind!
Zhao Yi and the other staff were also surprised. "Yun Muxi is actually pregnant? Then who is the father?"
Everyone was still in a state of shock when Murong Ye hurried towards them. When Yun Muxi got into the accident, her bodyguard reported the situation to him and he fled towards the hospital instantly.
He stood in front of the doctor with a gloomy face and asked in a cold voice, "Doctor, how is she?"
The doctor was scared when he saw his expression. "This man is so scary! Could he be the child"s father?"
The doctor asked in a trembling voice, "Sir, you are...?"
Murong Ye kept a sullen face. "Her older brother."
Murong Ye"s simple answer took the staff by surprise. Since when did Yun Muxi have such a big shot as her older brother? Wasn"t she an orphan? Initially, everyone was still wondering if he could be the child"s father, but they did not expect him to be her older brother.
The doctor explained the whole situation again to Murong Ye. "Your sister is fine, she turned out to be pregnant and is already four weeks along. She suffered an external force and also fell into the river, which put the baby at risk. However, the baby is fine. All she has to do is rest. We will know more when we send her to get more checks at the obstetrics."
Upon hearing the doctor"s words, Murong Ye turned to look at the rest of them and asked in a stern voice, "External force? And falling into the river? What is going on?"
Zhao Yi started rubbing his hands uneasily and explained in a hurry, "Um, it"s like this. Today"s scene required Gong Yu and Xiao Xi to ride a horse. Upon reaching the destination, Gong Yu will jump off the horse and release his anger by punching a tree. Xiao Xi would then fall when she tried to get off the horse and subsequently rolled into the river..."
"What? You guys let her carry out such a dangerous activity?" Murong Ye"s sullen expression became darker by a few shades. He gave off a malicious vibe.
Zhao Yi and the rest were terrified. Zhao Yi plucked up his courage and explained, "Um, we didn"t know that Xiao Xi was pregnant."
"You don"t know that she"s pregnant? So you allowed her to do such a dangerous action?!" Murong Ye narrowed his eyes and turned to Gong Yu. He poked his finger against Gong Yu"s chest and asked, "What are you doing to protect her? How can I rest a.s.sured to leave her in your hands?"
Murong Ye poked at him really hard, which put him under a lot of pain. However, he knew that he had indeed neglected his duty to protect her fully. He was responsible for Yun Muxi"s accident.
He kept his head down and did not say a single word. He pressed his lips against each other until they formed a thin line. His facial expression was extremely sullen.
Murong Ye looked at Gong Yu and softened his tone as he asked him with a serious look, "What are your plans?"
"Plans?" Gong Yu did not understand what he meant.
"You"re not planning to not have it, right?" Murong Ye"s harshness returned instantly and his voice was full of anger.
Gong Yu understood him immediately. He quickly clarified, "Of course I want it!" But after giving it another thought, he continued, "But Xiao Xi wants it too, right?"
Murong Ye narrowed his brows and fall into deep thoughts. There was a possibility of what Gong Yu said. It was obvious that Yun Muxi had yet to accept Gong Yu completely, so there was a possibility that she did not want it.
Murong Ye looked Gong Yu deep in the eyes and said in a low voice, "You"re in charge of settling Xiao Xi. The child stays for sure. If you need anything, I"ll be here to help."
Gong Yu nodded and the duo walked to the ward together.
The others who were left behind were bewildered. "What is happening? That is Gong Yu"s child? Her older brother is on Gong Yu"s side?"
Everyone was taken aback by what was happening and needed some time to digest it.
The two men stood at each side of Yun Muxi"s bed, fixing their gaze helplessly upon Yun Muxi who was sleeping quietly.
Yun Muxi"s long eyelashes twitched slightly and the two men leaned towards her anxiously. Yun Muxi gradually opened her eyes and was greeted by two enlarged handsome faces.
It gave her a big shock and she stared at them nervously. Meanwhile, Gong Yu and Murong Ye broke out at the same time, "Xiao Xi, you"re awake!"
Their uniform voice startled her once again. "What"s happening?" she thought and then asked carefully, "Um, are you guys alright? What happened to me?"
Gong Yu explained in a hurry, "Xiao Xi, you don"t remember? You fell from the horse and rolled into the river. Then you became unconscious."
After he finished, Murong Ye could not help but glare at him from the side. Gong Yu received the harsh signal and rubbed his nose guiltily as he asked gently, "Xiao Xi, how are you feeling?"
Yun Muxi recalled what happened and shook her head. "I"m fine, other than pain throughout my entire body, I don"t feel anything else."
Gong Yu was finally relieved. "Oh, that"s good. You have to let me know if you"re feeling uncomfortable."
Yun Muxi nodded and said wryly, "Also, I"m a little hungry."
Gong Yu replied casually, "Oh, you"re hungry. That"s normal, people tend to eat more during times like this."
Although Yun Muxi felt a little puzzled, she did not ponder on it too much.
Murong Ye then immediately followed with a question. "Xiao Xi, what would you like to eat? I"ll send someone to buy."
Gong Yu turned and said to him, "The food outside is not hygienic. Home-cooked food should be better!"
Murong Ye nodded, "Yes, you"re right! At times like this, you should avoid eating outside food. They"re unclean, unhygienic and not nutritious. I"ll call the kitchen at home to have someone cook and send food over."
Gong Yu nodded and said, "This is better."
"In that case, what would you like to eat, Xiao Xi? Just tell me! I"ll make them bring it to you."
Yun Muxi frowned and looked at them. She felt that something was off, but could not pinpoint exactly. Then, she replied faintly, "I want shredded chicken porridge and custard buns."
Murong Ye quickly took out his phone and made the arrangements.
Gong Yu took a look at her and picked up the cup on the table. "Xiao Xi, drink some hot water first."
Just as she was about to get up, the two men shouted immediately, "Don"t move!"
Yun Muxi got a shock. She stayed glued to the bed and did not move an inch. She looked at the two in confusion.
Gong Yu held the cup in one hand and placed a straw in it with the other hand. "Here, lay down and drink! You can"t move as you like at times like this."
Yun Muxi looked at Gong Yu in surprise. She held the straw in her mouth and drank half of the water.
Murong Ye looked at her and said gently, "Xiao Xi, do you have anything else that you want to eat? Just say it and I"ll make someone go prepare. You should be craving snacks at times like this, right?"
Gong Yu quickly nodded and agreed. "Yes, yes, yes. At times like this, there"s bound to be cravings anytime. Whenever you"re craving for anything, just tell me. I"ll buy it right away."
Murong Ye followed, "If Gong Yu is not free, tell me, I"ll get it for you. Or you can also get the bodyguards outside to buy."
Gong Yu seemed to have thought of something and added, "Oh yes, also, you should be frequently feeling sleepy at times like this. Xiao Xi, if you want to, you can continue to sleep."
Murong Ye suddenly turned and said to Gong Yu, "Yes! Also, you have to be more mindful. At times like this, you shouldn"t mess around, understood?"
Gong Yu nodded instantly.
The more she listened, the more confused she got. She interrupted their dialogue and said, "Hold on, what are you guys talking about? What is "at times like this"? Explain what you mean!"
Murong Ye looked at Yun Muxi but found it difficult, so he turned and said to Gong Yu, "Um, I think you should do it."
Gong Yu looked back at Murong Ye and hesitated. "I, I don"t dare to, why not you do it."
"Me? How can I be the one to break the news?" "Of course you should!"
"Me? Okay, I"ll do it!"
Gong Yu looked like he made a very important decision. He turned around and gulped down the cup of water on the table. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and cleared his throat before blurting out slowly, "Um... Xiao Xi... you... are pregnant!"
Yun Muxi cried out in shock immediately, "What? Pregnant? How"s that possible? I don"t see any symptoms!"
