"How likely is it." Diwu Zexuan’s eyes darkened.

"Fifty percent." The assistant responded hastily, "And if you plan to keep it, you’ll have to wait until about three to four months when it is formed to conduct specific screenings, otherwise... it would greatly harm Miss Rui Hui’s body."

"Give me the test results." Diwu Zexuan extended his hand, took the report from the assistant, skimmed through it, and then slammed it onto the desk, "Tell them, not a single word of this report should be known to Rui Hui."

"Master..."

"Do I need to be clearer?" Diwu Zexuan raised his brows, displeased. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The assistant’s body stiffened, nodded thoroughly, "Understood."

After the assistant turned to leave, Diwu Zexuan picked up the report again, carefully read through it, his enchanting eyes like a scanner, imprinting every character into his mind.

The next second, he opened the shredder and threw the entire report into it.

He stood up briskly and stepped toward Rui Hui’s resting room.

...

Incense was burning in the room.

A faint, sweet aroma.

The curtains were all drawn, heavy drapery blocking out all light, pitch black.

In the darkness, Diwu Zexuan walked gently towards the bed.

He could locate Rui Hui accurately without any light.

His tall figure slowly sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to grasp her small hand.

The cold touch made him frown slightly.

"If you knew I was the culprit, would you hate me?" Diwu Zexuan’s voice was light, like a breeze, disappearing in an instant.

The person on the bed didn’t react at all, still deeply asleep.

A serene sleeping face appeared in his view.

Diwu Zexuan’s heart was filled with unspeakable remorse.

Their first child was about to be destroyed in his hands.

Diwu Zexuan’s eyes dimmed, his palm tightened.

"Hmm..."

Rui Hui furrowed her brow uncomfortably, Diwu Zexuan realized and quickly released her hand.

He looked at her nervously, only to find Rui Hui hadn’t woken up, just turned over and continued to sleep.

Diwu Zexuan stared at her for a long time, not knowing when he finally stood up and mechanically walked away.

...

Rui Hui was sleeping more and more.

She slept for nearly eight hours.

When she woke up, her eyes were still red and swollen from crying, she stretched lazily.

Turning her head, she realized the room was dark.

She rolled over and got up, walked to the window, and pulled open the curtains.

Outside the window, darkness greeted her.

It was already dark...

Where is Diwu Zexuan?

Rui Hui was about to go out to look for him when she noticed a familiar figure standing on the balcony.

Upright and unyielding, nearly blending into the night.

In his hand, flickering firelight.

A faint white smoke wafted from between his fingers...

Diwu Zexuan seemed to be contemplating something, completely unaware of her presence.

"Cough cough—"

Rui Hui opened the sliding door, the heavy smell of smoke rushed into her nose, making her uncomfortable as she covered her nose.

Only then did Diwu Zexuan turn around and saw the person standing by the window, immediately snuffing out the cigarette on the railing and striding toward her.

He carried her back into the room, then promptly shut the sliding door.

His actions were swift, so much so that Rui Hui hadn’t even reacted before being placed onto the sofa.

"You were smoking?"
