Just like the previous night, he sat on the grass outside the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly smoking, guarding the mother and son.

Only when it was almost dawn did he leave silently.

...

A good night’s sleep, Ye Mingmei got up early.

She held back her nausea to take medicine, tidied up a bit, and went to work at the company.

Near noon, she clocked out and took leave, carrying her bag and leaving early.

She drove herself, heading in the direction of the hospital.

Worried that Su Yiru might receive news, Ye Mingmei dared not go to the hospital invested by the Ye Family, so she went to a public hospital instead.

Following the normal procedure, registering, lining up, then waiting for the examination.

Holding the queue number slip, Ye Mingmei’s palms were sweating with nervousness.

She wasn’t sure if she was feeling wrong. These past few days, she had been feeling nauseous and unwell, clearly, her period had just ended. She hadn’t been with Yu Xiuzhun recently, so it was impossible for her to be pregnant.

But lately, she’s been feeling drowsy, never getting enough sleep, and also experiencing nausea...

Thinking of her abnormal reactions, Ye Mingmei took a deep breath, looking at the long line of people in front of her waiting for examinations, nervously waiting.

At the same time.

Yu Xiuzhun sat in the large private room, his tall figure reclining on the luxurious leather sofa, long legs crossed, holding a glass of red wine, gently swirling it.

The dark red wine reflected his deep devilish eyes.

He hadn’t slept all night; under his sharp gaze, there was a slight weariness in his eyes.

Reaching out to press his brows, he sat up, "When will Langmu arrive?"

"Reporting to Mr. Yu, Mr. Langmu’s plane has already arrived in Washington from Thailand, he is on the way, and will be here soon," the assistant replied respectfully.

This time, the person meeting with Yu Xiuzhun was the renowned Mr. Langmu from the Thai underworld.

Langmu greatly admired Yu Xiuzhun and had previously traveled to Paris to meet him once, hoping to facilitate cooperation with the Yu family.

Today’s negotiation was critically important.

"Buzz——"

The phone on the table flashed with an incoming call display.

Yu Xiuzhun took a sip of wine, picked it up unhurriedly, "Speak."

"Mr. Yu, the subordinate has been following Miss Ye, she went to the Ye Group this morning but unexpectedly took leave after staying there for a morning, and now she is at the hospital."

"What did you say? Why did she go to the hospital?!" Yu Xiuzhun’s hand suddenly tightened, he stood up from the sofa.

The deep eyes reflected a dangerous light.

"... waiting in line for a check-up." The bodyguard on the other end of the phone quickly said.

"The subordinate inquired, apparently Miss Ye has been feeling nauseous recently, so she wanted to visit the hospital to check, she already took a number, and it should be her turn in half an hour."

"Find a way to stall her until I get there!" Yu Xiuzhun abruptly ended the call, grabbed the car keys on the table, and turned to leave.

The assistant was taken aback and hurriedly blocked his path.

"Mr. Yu, Mr. Langmu is about to arrive, Jiang Jinchen is watching us very closely, we still rely on Mr. Langmu’s connections in Thailand for our goods. If we breach the appointment now, the consequences will be severe."

"Get out of my way!"

Yu Xiuzhun kicked the assistant aside and rushed out of the private room without a second thought.

He got into the sports car and sped toward the hospital.

...

"Miss Ye, I’m sorry, the emergency department has temporarily transferred two patients upstairs due to special conditions, so you may have to wait a little longer, is that okay with you?"

A young nurse walked up to Ye Mingmei, apologetically speaking.
