This was Bai Sui’s second time entering Gu Mang’s room. He glanced around the room. Not much had changed since his last time inside. It was neat and simple with a dark color scheme.

He noted the trash bin underneath the sofa’s side table, the medical kit on the table, and the bottle of sleeping pills on the nightstand.

He walked over to the trash bin, where he found a piece of gauze and a cotton swab. He stared at them for a few seconds before shifting his gaze to the medical kit on the side table. He opened the kit.

As Old Master Bai was worried about Gu Mang’s injury, all the medicine he sent was top quality. Bai Sui checked them one by one and found nothing unusual inside. He placed the kit back in its original position.

.

Then, he slowly made his way over to the nightstand and picked up the bottle of sleeping pills. He twisted the cap off and noticed that the bottle was two-thirds full. From his calculations, he realized that Gu Mang had been taking them every day ever since she had been discharged from the hospital. His grip on the bottle tightened slightly.

She’s been losing sleep every night? His eyes darkened. It took him a long time before he finally got a hold of himself again and put down the bottle of sleeping pills.

He looked away and carefully examined his surroundings once more. He even went to the bathroom but he still failed to find anything unusual.

His failed attempt at finding clues had him standing outside the room with pursed lips. Well, it’s only to be expected. She’s been more careful than ever since she returned to Jijing Island. She doesn’t even fully trust me and Bai Qingqing. There’s no way she’d allow anyone to discover anything about her.

…

Meanwhile, the seafood hotpot restaurant’s private room was filled with a strange silence.

In consideration of Gu Mang’s condition, they mostly ordered fish and prawns.

Gu Si, who was wearing a pair of disposable gloves, was currently peeling prawns for his sister, who sat next to him. When he spoke, he sounded rather glum as if he wanted to skin Lu Chengzhou alive like the prawns he was peeling now. “Eat up, sis.”

Gu Mang chuckled when she saw how angrily Gu Si was peeling the prawns.

Yu Mufeng and Jiangsui, on the other hand, were at a loss for words as they stared at Gu Mang, who was calmly eating her meal. While Yu Mufeng had already calmed down and was thinking of ways to keep Gu Mang’s pregnancy a secret from Huo Zhi and the Elders’ Association, Jiang Sui was still trying to calm himself down, still reeling from the revelation. Lu Chengzhou, that clothed beast! He’s a scumbag!

Gu Mang scooped up a piece of beef from the pot before giving the other two a look. “Aren’t you guys going to eat?”

Yu Mufeng and Jiangsui immediately picked up their chopsticks and fished for food before dipping it into the sauce and stuffing it into their mouths. Gu Mang lifted an eyebrow at their synchronized actions. The group ate in silence for ten minutes or so.

Gu Si picked up a piece of beef and put it into his mouth with a sigh. Forget it. No matter how much I want to kill Lu Chengzhou, I still have to accept the fact that I’m going to be an uncle.

Gu Si no longer felt angry now that he had straightened out his thoughts. In fact, he felt a little happy to be an uncle at such a young age. He turned to his sister excitedly. “Sis, I’m an uncle now!”

Gu Mang slowly looked at him from the corners of her eyes. “Are you happy about it?”

“Of course!” Gu Si put a piece of fish on her plate. “I’ll be called ‘Uncle’ soon!”

“It’s too early for you to rejoice.” Gu Mang flashed him a lazy smile.

The corners of Gu Si’s lips twitched. He understood that his sister was saying that whether or not she could keep the child remained a question. His smile faded at the thought of Huo Zhi and the Elders’ Association, and hostility flashed in his eyes as he declared, “I’ll kill anyone who dares to lay a hand on my precious nephew!”

Gu Mang looked at him with a smile but did not say anything about it.

The heavy and silent atmosphere in the room was shattered by Gu Si’s words.

Yu Mufeng lifted his head, looking more serious than ever before. “What do you plan to do now, Gu Mang?”
