"Why should we introduce ourselves when you haven't?" Mu Fengqie gave the leader of the bandits a disdainful look. Still feeling annoyed, she kicked him directly.
Perhaps it was because she was too angry, or maybe she was exhausted from days of traveling and frightened. After knocking the leader down, Mu Fengqie fainted all of a sudden.
Jing Xunche was completely stunned. "Qie'er!" He held Mu Fengqie in his arms, at a loss. How could this happen!
"What did you do?" Jing Xunche glared at the leader with red - rimmed eyes. If Yuan Yuhan hadn't stopped him, Jing Xunche would have attacked the leader long ago. This despicable villain must have played some dirty tricks!
"No... no, I didn't do... do anything!" The leader looked at Mu Fengqie blankly, then at Jing Xunche. What did this have to do with him? He hadn't even done anything yet, and this woman just fainted.
Hey, could you at least explain the situation before fainting? I'm so unjustly accused, the leader thought with a mournful face as he looked at Mu Fengqie in Jing Xunche's arms.
"Zhanzhi, calm down first. The most urgent thing is to take Fengqie back and find a doctor. I'll stay here and make sure everything's okay," Yuan Yuhan said.
Jing Xunche carefully picked up Mu Fengqie and rode his horse into the city quickly. Seeing Mu Fengqie's increasingly pale face, Jing Xunche was extremely worried.
Normally, riding a horse was not allowed in the capital, but Jing Xunche didn't care about anything now as he looked at the unconscious Mu Fengqie.
"Doctor, please take a look at her. She fainted suddenly," Jing Xunche quickly found a medical clinic in the capital. Fortunately, there weren't many people today. The doctor on duty immediately walked over after seeing Jing Xunche carrying someone in and placed the patient on the bed in the inner room.
The doctor sat beside the bed, feeling the patient's pulse. He frowned from time to time and then relaxed. Jing Xunche's heart tightened as he watched the doctor's expression.
"Doctor, how is she? Is she okay?" Jing Xunche asked nervously, looking at Mu Fengqie on the bed.
After double - checking, the doctor said to Jing Xunche, "Congratulations, sir. Your wife is pregnant."
"How should we treat this? She's pregnant and she..." For a moment, Jing Xunche didn't react. After he did, he stared at the person on the bed in disbelief, his body trembling.
"What did you just say? My wife is pregnant?" Jing Xunche asked the doctor.
"She is indeed pregnant. It's been about a month," the doctor confirmed. "However, your wife has been over - tired from traveling recently and was also frightened, which has disturbed the fetus. She needs good recuperation.
Moreover..." The doctor paused and then continued, "This pregnancy of your wife's requires special attention. She can't have a miscarriage again, or it will be very difficult for her to conceive in the future."
The doctor wondered what this woman had been through. Her body was so weak. She had a miscarriage a few years ago and didn't recuperate well at that time. Now her uterus was very fragile.
The excited Jing Xunche suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. He stood there blankly, looking at Mu Fengqie with a complicated expression.
"I understand. You can leave first," Jing Xunche said, driving the doctor out. Then he squatted down beside the bed and gently held Mu Fengqie's hand. "Qie'er, I'll protect you well. When you recover, let's get married, okay?"
Jing Xunche sat beside Mu Fengqie's bed, babbling on and on. In her coma, Mu Fengqie always felt that someone was talking non - stop by her ear. She really wanted him to stop. It was so noisy, but she couldn't open her mouth.
When Mu Fengqie woke up, she looked around and found the decoration familiar. After a closer look, she realized that she was in Jing Xunche's Zhongning Marquis Mansion.
Mu Fengqie sat up and looked around the room but didn't see anyone. She didn't know why she had fainted just now. Moreover, her whole body was weak, and she could hardly stand up.
As soon as Mu Fengqie's feet touched the ground, she felt dizzy. Just before she fell, she was caught by a pair of strong hands.
"Qie'er, how are you?" Jing Xunche asked nervously. When he came in just now, he saw Qie'er about to fall, which almost scared him to death. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and caught her.
After Mu Fengqie regained her composure in Jing Xunche's arms for a while, she said, "I'm fine. By the way, why did I faint just now?" Until now, Mu Fengqie still thought she had only fainted for a short time.
Jing Xunche looked at Mu Fengqie with a complicated expression and said, "Qie'er, it's already the second day since you fainted. You fainted because you're pregnant."
Jing Xunche held Mu Fengqie and said softly.
Hearing Jing Xunche's words, Mu Fengqie's mind went blank. She... was actually pregnant. She wasn't ready at all. Now her mind was just a complete mess.
Then she heard Jing Xunche say, "Qie'er, you've been pregnant for a month. After your body recovers in a few days, let's get married." Jing Xunche looked at Mu Fengqie eagerly, and it was obvious that he was really looking forward to it.
Looking at Jing Xunche's excited eyes, Mu Fengqie pursed her lips and said, "I... I'm not ready yet." She wasn't mentally prepared for marriage at all. Everything was just too sudden.
"It's okay, Qie'er. I'll wait for you," Jing Xunche didn't think too much about Mu Fengqie's words. He thought she was just at a loss after suddenly learning this news. But it was okay. He was the same when he first found out.
"What I mean is, I don't want to get married yet," Mu Fengqie's words brought Jing Xunche back to reality.
After hearing this, Jing Xunche calmed down. "Qie'er, what do you mean?" Jing Xunche looked at Mu Fengqie in confusion. What did she mean by not wanting to get married?
"I mean exactly what you think. I'm not ready for marriage," Mu Fengqie said. She had thought about the possibility of having a child for a long time. Since she didn't take contraceptive pills after what happened between them, she wasn't surprised that the child came. She just didn't expect Jing Xunche to be in such a hurry to hold the wedding.
"Qie'er, you..." Jing Xunche looked at Mu Fengqie, not knowing what to say. He couldn't force Qie'er to marry him.
"It's okay, Qie'er. I'll wait for you. When you're willing, we'll start preparing," Jing Xunche said with a disappointed smile, but he quickly regained his spirit.
It didn't matter as long as Qie'er was still by his side. And Qie'er was pregnant with his child. One day, Qie'er would completely accept him.
