Chapter 608: Missing You Is A Required Course (2)

Xi Xiaye went back upstairs after a simple dinner. She then put on her sleeping robe and went to the study room after showering. After that, she started working on the data Lan Zilang sent to her on the computer.

However, not too long after she sat down, an icon popped up at the bottom right corner. In a glance, she noticed it was Su Nan.

She clicked it open—.

Su Nan: Xiaye, I'm heading to the hospital tomorrow to wait for the delivery. There was a tiny accident yesterday, and when I went to the hospital for a check-up today, the doctor said I might have to deliver prematurely. I've been advised to be hospitalized immediately.

Xi Xiaye frowned when she read her message. She quickly replied: What happened? Where's Ruan Heng?

Su Nan replied: I kind of slipped on the staircase, but it's no big deal actually. My estimated delivery date is pretty close. Ruan Heng has forbidden me from using my phone in the past few days so...

Xi Xiaye stopped replying and made a call instead.

"I thought you were asleep!" Su Nan's cheerful voice reached her ear.

"I don't really sleep early. Plus, I have some work to do. What's wrong? What did the doctor say?" Xi Xiaye asked.

Su Nan took a deep breath before letting out a sigh. "I'm fine. I'm in the hospital now. I'm just talking to you because I'm feeling bored, so bored that I think I'm getting sick! By the way, Xiaye, I forgot to tell you that Ruan Heng mentioned Yue Lingsi is hospitalized here as well. I heard she can't walk anymore as someone severed her hamstrings. She'll need to spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair. Xi Xinyi didn't seem to care about her. She's pretty much useless now. I feel so relieved!"

Su Nan only found out about what happened to Yue Lingsi earlier that day, but Xi Xiaye was aware of it a long time ago. The information she got from Mu Yuchen was far more accurate.

Both her legs could not walk again and one of her hands was severely injured. Her mobility would be extremely limited in the future. However, it surprised her that Yue Lingsi accepted her new reality very easily. She thought she would be ranting and complaining now that she had become disabled!

"But Xi Xinyi had it good. I heard she moved into the Han Residence. Her baby's full moon celebration should be around the corner. Ugh, she's just like a cockroach! I don't know how she's still able to survive. I just don't get it! Han Yifeng is such a coward. How could he still accept a woman like her? He must be blind." Su Nan started scolding her and making her feel uncomfortable.

Xi Xiaye just smiled. "Alright, stop getting angry. Set a good example for your baby!"

"How can I not be angry? The film she's been working on with Qi Kai is going to be released soon. She might make a comeback with it! It's a wonder that she could make it through all that."

"Just leave her be. As long as she doesn't overstep my boundaries, I don't really care. She's pretty tame right now. Mu Yuchen told me to not get into trouble with her. I'm sure he has a plan of some sort in mind. As for you, just stay in the hospital and wait for your safe delivery. I'll visit you tomorrow."

"No, don't come. Come only after I've delivered. It's a hassle coming here. Where's Master Mu? He's letting you work at night?"

"He went abroad. Alright, Nannan, you should rest now. I have an incoming call. Bye."

...

It was not hard to guess a certain man would call her at this time since he should be just done with breakfast now.

"Why did you take so long to answer the call? Not sleeping yet?"

The man's gentle voice reached her ear. He would call her every day at this time, and send her a text message every morning.

She suddenly felt his presence as she heard his familiar voice. Since she was unable to see him, she felt a bit empty inside especially when the little thing inside her stomach was being mischievous. She hoped he could appear before her instantly.

"What's wrong? Not going to say anything?" He sounded concerned when she did not say anything. "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Sis Wang told me your nausea was pretty strong just now. We can ask Dr. Zhong to come tomorrow, or even ask them to take you for a check-up at the hospital. I can make the arrangements."

"I'm fine." She leaned back into the chair as she spoke in a child-like tone, "I'm just not used to it... When are you coming back?"

He smiled and felt a little bit helpless. "It's only been a few days. I told you to come with me, didn't I? Who insisted on staying back there? If you're afraid, I can ask Mother or Grandmother to stay with you for some time."

"I'm not afraid. I just feel that something isn't right. Something is making me uncomfortable. I miss you, Mr. Mu. Do you miss me?"

It was so easy to express how much she missed him now. In the past, Xi Xiaye would never believe that she would act like this one day. Her eyes started to warm up as her voice turned hoarse.

It was hard for Mu Yuchen to hide how happy he was on the other side of the phone. He sighed. "Missing you is a required course. What do you think?"

"Do you think that I'm becoming unreasonable now? I don't know why I've become like this. It's all your fault!"

"Yes, it's my fault."

Xi Xiaye knocked her own head. "Good that you know. Lei Ya wants us to raise its points. I spoke to CEO Lei today. He isn't very well-mannered, so the negotiation broke down..."

"Let it be then. I know about that person. Didn't I ask Vice President Wen to meet him? How did it end up becoming you? If something like this happens again in the future, just throw the dining plates at his face. Understand?" Mu Yuchen sounded unhappy and he used some harsh words.

"Vice President Wen is sick and took leave. Plates? I'm not as violent as you, Mr. Mu. Somehow, I can imagine the way you would smash plates. Oh, you'd definitely look like a mad lady..."

She chuckled when she imagined a scene of him smashing plates with a hand on his waist.

He laughed. "Does your elegant Mr. Mu look like someone who'd do that?"

"I remember someone admitting that he's despicable and shameless..."

"I am what you say I am. You should now pack up and go to sleep this moment. Take care of yourself and be good. Then, I'll bring back some gifts for you, alright?"

"Gifts? Do you think I'm still a little girl?"

"Didn't you just turn 18 this year?"

"You..."
