An Unexpected Pregnancy with the Fake Husband's Child [Completed]

C54. Vows.

Chapter 54

Entering the Xiao family's hospital once again, Qin Zhichen's mood was not any better than last time.

Surrounded by Xiao family members who were encouraging him, Shen Minglou, Qin Zhichen didn't dare to approach and instead stood at a distance, gazing at his back, seeing the fair neck under his soft black hair.

After Xue Mei and Shen Minglou finished speaking, they looked up to see Qin Zhichen's eyes, full of resentment and jealousy, staring at them.

While the Xiao family agreed for Qin Zhichen to stay by Shen Minglou's side, whether or not to acknowledge him was Shen Minglou's decision. He didn't even know that the person in front of him was the Qin Zhichen he was married to.

Just a sudden "senior brother," ignoring him was a normal thing for Shen Minglou.

Thinking this, Xue Mei met Qin Zhichen's eyes and somehow sensed a hint of longing.

"...," Xue Mei fell silent, looking down at Shen Minglou's smiling face.

Qin Zhichen was a good friend she had known for many years, working under him and soon to become his sister-in-law. Shouldn't she take advantage of this opportunity to do him a favor?

Xue Mei cleared her throat, paving the way for her professional career, "Minglou, do you want to say a few words to him?"

Shen Minglou's hand moved slightly.

Since last night until now, he and his senior brother hadn't exchanged a word. Even though they sat side by side on the way to the hospital, no one broke the silence between them.

He didn't want too much contact with his senior brother, fearing he might think too much at the end when he would leave his side after today. It was better to handle this unnecessary story with indifference.

Seeing Shen Minglou remain silent, Xue Mei crouched beside him, softly whispering in his ear, "He looks pretty pitiful, like a grown man resembling a lost puppy. I know what you're thinking, but isn't today the last day? Why not compromise and put an end to everything peacefully?"

"...Yes," Xue Mei's words made sense, and Shen Minglou also wanted to handle the situation better, as it was a part of his youth.

After a while of contemplation, Shen Minglou nodded and turned to ask Xue Mei, "Where is he?"

"I'll go call him!"

Xue Mei's response was excited, as if she had accomplished something.

Shen Minglou wanted to say something more, but she ran too quickly, his hand reaching out too late, grasping nothing but air.

...Why was Xue Mei so happy?

What was it that made her so joyful?

She didn't even know his senior brother...

Thinking of this, Shen Minglou shuddered.

Although Xue Mei didn't know his senior brother, she did know Qin Zhichen!

Shen Minglou nervously swallowed and saw Xiao Tang, mistaking his shivering for feeling cold, she asked kindly, "Are you cold? Shall I get a blanket for you? The hospital's air conditioning is a bit chilly..."

"No, thank you, Auntie."

He wasn't shaking because he felt cold, but because he was afraid that Xue Mei might find out about the words he said in the elevator yesterday. He couldn't dare to tell Xiao Tang about it.

Xiao Yue and Xue Mei had been in a relationship for many years; whatever Xiao Yue knew, Xue Mei would definitely know.

The thought of the words he spoke in the elevator made Shen Minglou want to dig a hole and escape. What if Xiao Yue told Xue Mei... Xue Mei had attended his and Qin Zhichen's wedding; she was also Qin Zhishu's subordinate.
