Mu Wan lifted the corners of her lips. All these years, before Qin Mu married her, his reputation as a womanizer was absolutely everywhere.

Back then, even she felt he was completely out of her league.

In Yuncheng City, who didn’t know about him?

Anyway, he was that wickedly charming Crown Prince who had already melted her heart back in school.

Seeing Mu Wan’s raised-brow expression, Qin Mu took the initiative to pull the woman into his arms, then pressed her down beneath him.

"Mm... whether I’m a player or not... I think... my body only recognizes you as its master..."

Mu Wan: "..."

Fine.

What Qin Mu said actually sounded quite reasonable. Mu Wan couldn’t even find words to argue back.

Mu Wan let out a mute, helpless laugh, and then the man heavily captured her red lips. All her breath was swept away by him.

Beast...

Mu Wan suddenly thought that if she accidentally got pregnant, she couldn’t help shoving at the man’s chest, reminding him, "Shouldn’t we be a little careful? What if I get pregnant?"

Hearing this, Qin Mu’s dark eyes dimmed. How could there be a child...

Qin Mu forced down the ache in his heart, sealed Mu Wan’s red lips again, and coaxed, "It’s fine. I’ll go scout the way first... ask around about the situation..."

Mu Wan: "..."

Faced with this beast’s words, she really couldn’t come up with any rebuttal.

She despised Qin Mu...

The room was saturated with an unshakable haze of intimacy.

...

Four days later:

This month her period wasn’t just three days late; it had already been delayed a full week.

The more Mu Wan thought about it, the more wrong it felt...

But when she’d wanted Qin Mu to go to the hospital with her before, the man had always turned her down with the excuse of being busy at work.

Mu Wan was baffled. Usually, when it came to anything about her, even the tiniest little thing, Qin Mu would treat it like a huge deal.

This time... his attitude was completely different.

Looked like Qin Mu really wanted to enjoy their two-person world, so he didn’t care much about the little one.

At that thought, Mu Wan’s heart ached for their Little Wanzi.

Since Qin Mu was too busy, then... she might as well go herself...

Mu Wan walked out of Yuncheng University, ready to hail a cab to the hospital, but was stopped by the bodyguards Qin Mu had arranged to accompany her.

"Madam... where are you going? You usually take the bus home..."

Mu Wan: "..."

Back when Wu Jingjing had tried to kidnap her, Qin Mu had arranged people to protect her.

These people had always been protecting her in secret.

She had refused before, but Qin Mu couldn’t rest easy, so she could only go along with his temper.

Because Mu Wan’s schedule and routines were very fixed, generally, anything that differed from her usual habits would be treated with extra caution by the bodyguards.

Mu Wan thought for a moment. She couldn’t exactly blurt out that she was going to the hospital to check whether she was pregnant.

"A friend of mine is sick. I want to drop by the hospital to visit her. You don’t have to worry, I’ll be fine."

The bodyguards exchanged looks, then hurriedly said, "President Qin already told us, if you go to public places like the hospital, President Qin must be the one to accompany you."

Mu Wan’s eyes froze.

Accompany her?

The hospital...

There was no such rule before. In the past, if she wanted to go to the mall to shop, she would often go by herself first, and then Qin Mu would pick her up after work.

How did going to the hospital suddenly get classified as a work-type occasion?

Mu Wan’s gaze flickered. She vaguely felt that something was off.

Qin Mu was acting way too out of character...

"I already arranged to visit her today. If you’re worried, you can come with me."

"Madam, please don’t make things difficult for us... um... President Qin thinks the hospital isn’t safe, so he doesn’t want you to go."

Mu Wan: "..."

The bodyguards kept their heads lowered uneasily, not daring to look her straight in the eye at all.

Mu Wan’s lips curved in a faint, mocking smile...

He wouldn’t even allow this?

Qin Mu, what on earth is going on with you?

The doubts in Mu Wan’s heart only grew, confusion tangling in her chest, impossible to shake off.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Wan took the initiative to say, "Mm, I understand... then I’ll go back with you."

"Alright, Madam. Do you want to take the bus or the car President Qin prepared for you?"

"No need, I’ll just take the bus."

"Okay..."

The bodyguards finally soothed Mu Wan and let out a long sigh of relief.

They had been really worried that if she insisted on going to the hospital, they wouldn’t be able to handle it.

President Qin had warned them again and again that Madam was absolutely not allowed to go to the hospital alone.

No matter what reason Madam used, it was not allowed.

Sigh, they really didn’t know what President Qin was thinking...

...

Sitting on the bus, Mu Wan’s gaze fell on the distant view outside the window, while all of Qin Mu’s contrasting behavior over the past year flashed rapidly through her mind.
