“Gave birth already?” Mu Chen knew why Xiao Qi Tian had come to him. So he just directly asked before Xiao Qi Tian could even speak.
Xiao Qi Tian nodded, “Yes, it’s a boy.”
“Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
Situ Xuan felt a little helpless listening to the formal tone between the two. She took out the jade pendant they had prepared and handed it over to Xiao Qi Tian, “This is for the child.”
Xiao Qi Tian took it over and he felt a warm feeling in his palm, “A calm jade?”
“Correct.”
The way the both of them spoke made Xiao Qi Tian feel very helpless. Could they not chat the way they used to?
In the end, Xiao Qi Tian had no choice but to leave. He had to go and see how Mu Xue was.
“Chen, when are we leaving? Didn’t you also say that you wanted to see the child?” Situ Xuan asked Mu Chen softly.
In fact, she knew that Mu Chen liked children very much. But they were unable to have their own yet.
“No need. Grandfather and the rest are coming soon. I plan to leave after seeing them. Help me send a letter to Yao’er telling them about Xiao Qi Feng’s intentions.” They must be prepared for anything, no matter what Xiao Qi Feng thought.
“Okay, but I’m afraid it will be difficult to send the letter.” Situ Xuan said sarcastically.
Mu Chen had a faint smile on his face, but the expression was a bit cold. “It would be difficult for other people.”
Situ Xuan also smiled. Only the two of them knew what they were laughing about.
Xiao Qi Tian was sitting by the bed, watching Mu Xue asleep. Her hair was sweaty and all over her face. She looked pale and tired.
Given the condition that she was in, Xiao Qi Tian could not blame her.
He sighed as he suppressed some thoughts in his mind.
Mu Xue saw Xiao Qi Tian beside her when she woke up. He was looking at her but was lost in his own thoughts.
“Qi Tian, what’s wrong? Is something wrong?” Mu Xue asked Xiao Qi Tian with some worries.
“No, nothing.”
“Where’s the child?” Seeing that Xiao Qi Tian was reluctant to speak any more, Mu Xue quickly asked. She thought about how much effort she had put in to give birth to her child.
“He’s there. Having a sound sleep.” Xiao Qi Tian pointed to the bed with a warm smile on his face.
As soon as Mu Xue turned her head, she saw the sleeping child wrapped in a quilt.
She could not help but frown when she saw the child’s wrinkly skin and red cheeks, “He’s so ugly.”
Xiao Qi Tian frowned and said, “Who says? The midwife said that our child is very cute. He’s just like any other newborn. He will be fine in a few days. He will definitely be paler and tender.”
Mu Xue looked down embarrassedly, “I know that.”
“Are you hungry?” Xiao Qi Tian did not want to talk further with her on this topic, so he changed the subject.
“Oh yes. I am.”
Xiao Qi Tian had the servants deliver the food to her room. He was relieved to see Mu Xue getting her appetite back.
The two of them chatted warmly. On the other hand, Mu Chen and Situ Xuan had already managed to send out the news.
Ning Meng Yao and the others, who were at Tong Bao Zhai, received the news in no time.
On reading the letter Mu Chen sent, Ning Meng Yao’s eyes turned cold. Qiao Tian Chang noticed her expression, and he wondered aloud, “What’s wrong? You look very angry.”
Ning Meng Yao passed the letter in her hand to Qiao Tian Chang. He too frowned after reading it.
The letter was from Qi Tian’s residence. Although not much was written, they could guess that the reason why Mu Chen and Situ Xuan were under house arrest was closely related to Mu Xue.
Ning Meng Yao rubbed her eyebrows, and said in a tiring tone, “It seems that Xiao Qi Feng is extremely unscrupulous.” However, she was more astonished by Mu Xue’s attitude.
Mu Xue had actually collaborated with others to plot against her own brother. No wonder Mu Chen revealed his deep disappointment in the letter.
“Yeah,” Qiao Tian Chang said suddenly.
Qiao Tian Chang was stuck between laughter and tears, thinking about Xiao Qi Feng. They used to be good brothers, but he had changed now. Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
“Tian Chang, why do you think Xiao Qi Feng is looking for you?” She could not think of a reason. How were they still related to Xiao Qi Feng now?
