Last time, when Hou Ziyue paid me five million, I always felt guilty. Later, when Hou Shaowen's project was going on, he wanted to give me one million, but I didn't take it. This time, with Lin Yanhu...The girl working in the shop is a "hidden master" of sorts.

She leaned against the counter, speaking quite aggressively: "Just buy one of these, it's basically foolproof. If you see two red lines, that definitely means... You should have come to buy medicine earlier! You can take emergency contraception within three days, why did you wait until your period was late to think about testing Oh, you young ones just don't know what's important! Not even careful about contraception... Well, I have super thin condoms and post-coital pills here. Do you want to buy some"

She gestured with her hand, and I realized that the side of the counter was full of contraceptives. Including the cosmetics counter earlier, these contraceptive products took up half the pharmacy's space.

“Listen, most of the young people who come here are buying condoms, ha ha ha! There’s no shame in that, right People who come here on vacation either come as couples for romance or to find someone new. We have a lot of charm here! But it’s rare to see someone like you buying a pregnancy test. Look, I even put the pregnancy tests in the corner!”

Oh my, girl, can you please hurry up and take the money so I can leave

I was so embarrassed that I didn't want to talk to her. In order to get away quickly, I slapped a red bill on the counter and hurried out the door.

The girl behind me was still yelling for me to give her change, how could I stop

Just buried my head and took two steps, duang! I bumped into someone.

I ran headfirst into his arms, my nose even hurt from the impact.

"...It hurts so much, I'm sorry, sorry, I'm in a hurry..." I said, covering my nose.

The other party stood there, motionless. I had a strange feeling that the atmosphere was off—

I was worried about running into some troublemakers, but instead I caught a whiff of something familiar.

I looked up.

Mu Wanchen stood high above, looking down at me with a faint frown.

“You got Ah Liang out of the way, just to come here” He said in a displeased tone: “People are following you for safety, and you ran off on your own. What do you want to do”

"This guy couldn't be following me, could he "

"Well, what brings you here Why are you rushing around like that and not watching where you're going" Mu Wanchen's voice was a little harsh as he reached out and grabbed my wrist, pulling me to the sidewalk by the riverbank.

The sky is very cold, and my face and hands are freezing.

When speaking, a faint wisp of white breath hovered around her cheeks.

He let out a soft sigh and softened his voice, saying, "Little Luo'er, don't run around."

When I can't see you, I don't know which side to guard... Once I hesitate, sometimes I make a wrong judgment and reveal a flaw. That's not good, not good at all...

As he spoke, Mu Wanchen raised his hand and put the down jacket hat on my head.

His hand, through the hat, lightly rubbed my head.

"...I'm here to buy things, and Liang Xiaoge following me like this is very inconvenient... This kind of thing is embarrassing, right" I muttered softly.

"Then what are you buying" Mu Wanchen tilted his head slightly and looked at my hand.

I hurried out, not even bothering to take a plastic bag, and there the two boxes of pregnancy tests just sat in my hand.

"I bought a pregnancy test. Look, how could I possibly bring this up with Liáng Xiaogē" I just shoved the thing into his hand. After all, he would find out anyway.

Mu Wanchen held a small box, her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she stood on the sidewalk, carefully examining it.

He probably wasn't used to reading simplified Chinese characters. He read almost every character one by one, making me feel very embarrassed.

Even with fewer people on the street, there are still passersby. Anyone with a little bit of experience can tell what this is!

"Stop looking, stop looking! Go back and look again later! Someone's laughing at us!" I hurriedly held onto his arm and walked back.

"What's so funny"

"... This is something we're researching inside the house. Studying it on the street would definitely attract attention, let's get out of here quickly!" I pulled him away forcefully, taking three steps as two in a hurry to go back.

Mu Wanchen stopped in his tracks, he tucked things into his pocket, and suddenly scooped me up in a bridal carry.

"Hey hey hey, what are you doing!" I asked, holding onto his neck.

"...Don't run, and don't take such big steps. If you are really pregnant, doing this will upset the baby." He ignored my struggles, lifted me up, and carried me back like he was holding a child.

I wrapped my arms around his neck, wearing a hat and burying my head in his ear, playing ostrich.

The passersby's gazes were a mix of envy and light laughter, overall still tolerant and friendly, but I felt my ears burning hot.

If you were actually pregnant, what would you do

"Your Highness, how could you run off like this! I even sent you to the door, and you just ran away! Didn't you think I would be worried!"

Mu Wanchen had just held me and walked into the restaurant when Liang Xiaoge started shouting.

I turned my head to look. On a square, antique-looking wooden table, there were piles of plastic bags filled with all sorts of fruits that you could buy. Little Brother Liang had bought them all.

"I don't know what you want to eat, so I bought everything! Do you want anything else I'll go buy it... This time, don't run around! Look, even the Shaman is worried and following you out. How can you be so disobedient! Now that you have—"

Little Brother Liang started rambling, his words coming out in a torrent.

I raised my hand and made a "choke" gesture at him, and he finally shut up.

Again, again I'll crush you!

Liang Xiaoger sniffled and touched his nose, muttering to himself in a low voice, "Then I asked the old lady selling fruit what pregnant women should eat, she said sour for girls and spicy for boys. I'll go buy some pickled mustard greens and chili sauce to take back..."

Mu Wanchen didn't say much, he just glared at Liang Xiaoge, and Liang Xiaoge immediately pursed his lips and fell silent, daring not to speak again.

The middle-aged man was gone, and the cook, knowing we were on his side, just pointed upstairs, indicating that we could use whatever we wanted.

Mu Wanchen carried me all the way up the stairs. I patted his shoulder and whispered, "I'm going to the restroom..."

"Okay." He set me down at the door, handed me two boxes, and then...

Then he stood still.

What does that mean Is he supposed to be guarding here

Mu Wanchen used to be very "traditional" and would avoid me as much as possible when I went to the restroom, just so I wouldn't feel embarrassed.

But now this momentum…

"You, you, you! Go back to your room and wait! This isn't that fast! We have to wait a while to know the results." I pushed him on his chest.

It's really hard, can't move it at all.

Mu Wanchen shook his head and sighed, then retreated to the wall and said, "Fine, I'll wait for you here."

Wow, the Great Shaman has been waiting for my results step by step

I shut the door, looking at this box of test pens in my hand. My heart was racing.

I don't even know if I hope to be pregnant, or if I hope this was just a false alarm.

After much deliberation, I've come to terms with both possible outcomes.

I skimmed the images quickly, without bothering to read the text in the instruction manual.

Following the order of image usage, I took a deep breath and looked at this tiny test pen with reverence., which is why I've poured my heart and soul into this, leading you down a path where you have no time to think."“Power is a good thing, Mu Xiao Qiao… you have no idea the power of those two words. Wh...
