“Young Master, Old Master Shen has been invited and is waiting for you in the suite,” the servant informed.
Old Master Shen had been invited? Mu Lan unconsciously looked towards Huo Tingxiao, it seemed that the old man of the Huo family was very serious, even going so far as to invite Old Master Shen for a pulse diagnosis, this…
“We’ll go back and change clothes and then head to Grandfather’s,” Huo Tingxiao said.
“Okay.”
Mu Lan hadn’t expected Huo Tingxiao to agree, and she became somewhat anxious.
As soon as they returned to the room, she couldn’t help expressing some complaints.
“Huo Tingxiao, where am I supposed to find a baby to stuff in my stomach for Old Master Shen to diagnose?”
Huo Tingxiao loosened his tie and then yanked it off, tossing it onto Mu Lan’s bed.
“Even if you don’t have it, it’s fine. It’s just a pulse diagnosis. Relax a bit.”
His casual tone made Mu Lan sigh.
“Do you think this is child’s play? If they find out I’m not pregnant, who knows what unpleasant things those people might say.
I really don’t want to deal with them, I don’t want to go.”
Huo Tingxiao looked at Mu Lan, who appeared somewhat exhausted, with unmistakable concern in his eyes.
But if she didn’t go, wouldn’t all the arrangements he had made be wasted?
He walked up behind Mu Lan and wrapped his arms around her from behind. Huo Tingxiao soothingly whispered, “Darling, trust me, they absolutely won’t say anything rude.”
So confident? Mu Lan pushed his hands away and turned to face him.
“Are you up to something again? Something I don’t know about?”
Looking into her bright eyes, Huo Tingxiao’s dark pupils involuntarily softened.
“Just treat it as a routine consultation, there’s nothing to worry about. Grandfather Shen is very sensible.”
Mu Lan frowned.
“It’s not about whether he is sensible or not… I…”
Huo Tingxiao gently interrupted her, word by word he asked,
“Mu Lan, do you trust me?”
Mu Lan didn’t speak but nodded her head.
Huo Tingxiao joyfully grabbed her small hand, brought it to his lips, and tenderly kissed it again and again.
“As long as you trust me, everything will be fine, okay?”
His tone at the end made Mu Lan nod as if spellbound.
“I’ll go change clothes. You… you should go back to your room as well.”
Go back to his room? He had been missing her so much these past few days, he wished he could spend every moment with her.
“I don’t need to change my clothes, just you.”
Saying this, he casually sat on the bed, resting on his arms and smiling with an innocent look.
But Mu Lan knew just how mischievous this man could be…
“If you’re not changing, then just stand by the door and wait for me.”
“Lanlan…”
Huo Tingxiao began to whine pitifully like a large dog asking for affection again.
Mu Lan got goosebumps all over.
“Speak properly.”
“I definitely will be honest, I swear.”
Saying this, he playfully stretched out his hand, putting on an ‘I’m so well-behaved’ look towards Mu Lan.
Mu Lan, feeling helpless, could only take a towel and went into the bathroom; Huo Tingxiao got up wanting to do something mischievous but then heard not only Mu Lan close the door but also lock it.
Huo Tingxiao couldn’t help but laugh and cry at her wolf-proof actions.
Soon after, Mu Lan came out in changed clothes, holding her gown.
While wearing it felt quite large, holding it in her hands, it was indeed hefty.
“All done.”
Huo Tingxiao watched Mu Lan, now in a plain-colored dress, his eyes brimming with a deeper smile.
“You look good in anything you wear.”
Mu Lan was uncomfortable with his compliment and pursed her lips.
“Stop saying those cheesy lines; they’re too greasy.”
“What cheesy lines?”
“Just… those words you just said that easily give people goosebumps, those are cheesy lines.”
“I spoke the truth, I couldn’t help myself. I’ll try to restrain myself in the future.”
Seeing Huo Tingxiao so serious, Mu Lan felt helpless. Let him do what he wants then.
The two headed toward the old master’s suite, with Yun Xi faithfully following behind.
Mu Lan thought it would only be the two elderly men, but she was taken aback by the scene that greeted her upon entering.
It was understandable that the Huo and Sheng elders were there, and Han Yongmei and Huo Qidong, as in-laws, came out of concern, but why were Sheng Family’s old master and Sheng Xueqin along with Huo Tingyang also present? Was this some kind of spectacle?
Mu Lan’s expression remained unchanged, but her complexion visibly worsened.

“Grandpa, it’s just a pulse diagnosis. Isn’t this a bit much?”
The old master Huo smiled awkwardly; he hadn’t expected the Sheng family members to come too, but since they were here, it was not good to send them away.
“Xueqin also wanted elder Shen to take her pulse; after all, we’re all family now, so don’t be too formal.”
Formal? To reveal her privacy in front of so many people for others to see. Mu Lan was really getting angry. How exactly was she viewed in the Huo Family?
Han Yongmei saw what was on Mu Lan’s mind and tried to soothe.
“Mu Lan, don’t be nervous. Elder Shen’s medical skills are extraordinary; he’s a veteran expert in the field of traditional medicine.
And Xueqin will also be examined later. It’s all just about childbirth and such.”
The implication was that the Sheng family members weren’t likely to ridicule, what happened to Mu Lan, would happen to Sheng Xueqin, being treated equally.
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing.”
Whispers in Huo Tingxiao’s deep voice reached her ears, and Mu Lan secretly sighed.
It was what it was, she had come all this way, and since Huo Tingxiao assured her there would be no problem, she’d believe him this time. If something really went wrong, if any mistakes occurred, it would be Huo Tingxiao who’d be frantic, not her.
She softly agreed.
“Mmhmm.”
Mu Lan walked up to elder Shen, first greeting respectfully.
“Elder Shen.”
Elder Shen scrutinized Mu Lan, his face showing a friendly smile.
“Truly a face of good fortune.”
Seated not three meters away, Sheng Xueqin sneered secretly, ‘good fortune’, she thought. Did she even deserve it?
Today, let’s see how she falls flat on her face!
“Thank you, elder Shen.”
Mu Lan subconsciously felt uneasy, after all… she wasn’t pregnant at all, there was really nothing for the old man to diagnose.
Well, let’s deal with it as it comes.
She extended her wrist. elder Shen sometimes took a deep feel and sometimes a superficial one, his face unreadable, while old master Huo’s heart was pounding.
“What’s it like? Is the pulse steady?”
Elder Shen kept silent, continuing with the pulse taking. Mu Lan looked up at Huo Tingxiao, noticing that he appeared completely relaxed as if everything was under control.
“Hmm.”
Elder Shen suddenly spoke, and everyone in the room turned to look at him.
“Well, old Shen, is the fetal position secure?”
Old master Huo was the most anxious one, truly worried about any mishap happening to the child inside Mu Lan’s belly.
“This… elder brother, would you like me to speak frankly, or…?”
Sheng Xueqin, sensing elder Shen’s hesitation, didn’t wait for old master Huo to speak and intervened:
“Elder Shen, of course, speak directly. There are no outsiders here, we are all quite concerned about Mu Lan’s health.
You should speak without reservations, a doctor’s kind heart, must tell the truth.”
