Hidden Marriage 99 Days: Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 474: Being Pregnant at Such a Time

As Mu Xichen stared at the tiny face before him, he seemed to simmer down slightly.

Li Beinian raised her chin and looked up at him, gently saying, “Let’s take Godpa and Godma home. We’ll get some medical ointment on our way, and you can help put that on me, alright?”

He held her face gently in his hands and studied her for some time. Then, he planted a kiss on her forehead and said, “We’ll take Godpa and Godma home, then we’ll go to the hospital.”

“There’s no need for that, it’s not such a big deal.” Li Beinian made a disgusted expression and withdrew her arms. “It’s a small matter, some medicated ointment will solve it.”

She only suggested the medicated ointment so that he wouldn’t fuss over things. In the past, she wouldn’t even have cared about a minor injury such as this.

The man looked at her and grunted. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Nevertheless, she heaved a sigh of relief. Alas, unexpectedly, Mu Xichen spoke again, “Where did that guy touch you just then?”

“What?” Li Beinian was stunned by his question.

“Lin Ya.” Mu Xichen’s eyes darkened as he reached out to touch her shoulder. “I saw that.”

“... I supposed he just wanted to know where my injury was,” she replied. “He didn’t really touch me as you said.”

Mu Xichen relaxed a little, although he kept his unfathomable gaze on her. He warned, “Stay away from Lin Ya in the future. That he can climb his way to this position at the young age of 29 shows that he’s not a simple person.”

Li Beinian was slightly taken aback.

Indeed, Lin Ya made her quite uncomfortable. Hence, she had no objections to his instruction. She nodded and replied, “Sure, I’ll do as you say.”

Seeing that the couple had finally ended their conversation, Chi Hailang stood up.

To their surprise, Mu Xichen walked up to Chi Dali and lifted him. Then, he headed out of the room.

Although Chi Dali was not as big as Tang Xiaoge, he was still about 80 kg.

Mu Xichen, however, lifted him easily, as though it was nothing. Chi Hailang stared with widened eyes, full of new admiration for the man.

He and Li Beinian followed behind the man, supporting Tang Xiaoge between them. It didn’t take them long to get to the car park.

Since Chi Dali was dead drunk and needed to be looked after, and Mu Xichen wasn’t able to drive, having had a few drinks himself, he and Li Beinian naturally got into the back seat.

As Chi Hailang drove along, Li Beinian suddenly called out for him to stop, just as they were passing a pharmacy.

“I’m going in to get some medicine,” she said as she opened the car door.

Chi Hailang offered, “Why don’t I get it for you. What do you need?”

“You stay and look after Mom, I’ll be back very soon.” She slammed the door shut and ran towards the pharmacy.

Once she entered the shop, she turned to look behind her.

Her heart was pounding. As though she was a thief.

Seeing that no one had followed after her, she calmed down.

The young pharmacy staff came up to her without delay and asked, “How are you? May I know what you’re after?”

“The morning-after pill.” Li Beinian did not beat around the bush. She continued, “It’s been more than 48 hours, would it still work?”

She knew she was going to get pregnant the first time they did it.

The pair of twins—the pair of twins that eventually did not get to come into this world.

She had hesitated for a long time, but eventually, she had decided to keep them.

But what Lin Kerou had said just then worried her to no end.

When the news of her marriage and pregnancy got out, she and Mu Xichen wouldn’t be the only ones stuck in a difficult position.

There was also Grandpa, who had provided them with the account book.

Not only that, the career that she had worked so hard to build would come to a halt.

Being pregnant at such a time wasn’t ideal.

“It would be an effective emergency contraceptive within 72 hours. Basically, it will work.” The nurse drew out a pill and continued, “As added safety measures, you could increase your intake of parsley, carrots, and such, as they have a spermicidal effect.”

“May I have a glass of water?”

...

She held a bottle of medical ointment as she got back into the car, on top of some basic medicines for injury management.

Only, for some reason, Li Beinian felt Mu Xichen’s gaze particularly threatening.

She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye. As the light from the street lamps fell on him and caught him in his eyes, she could see the tempestuous light flickering in them. They were restless.
