Mu Chen was lying on the rocking chair on the balcony, rocking it. When he saw Bei Shuo walk in, he narrowed his eyes and smiled. “It seems like you’re not affected. You look good and you’re in a good mood.”
Bei Shuo looked at Mu Chen in surprise.
She knew that Mu Chen was not seriously ill because Mu Ci was not very worried. However, she did not expect Mu Chen to look so good and be sitting here in such a good mood.
“Grandpa, you made me worry for nothing,” she could not help but rebuke.
Mu Chen deliberately turned cold. “You girl! What are you saying? Are you hoping to see an old man panting the moment you come in?”
Bei Shuo smiled and pulled a small stool over to sit beside Mu Chen. She grabbed Mu Chen’s wrist to take his pulse and said with a smile, “I’m not looking forward to it so much, but y-you…”
She really did not know what to say.
Mu Chen let her take his pulse. Bei Shuo put down one hand and grabbed another hand from the other side. “No matter what, Grandpa is recovering well.”
When Mu Chen heard this, he smiled and said, “That’s because 1 have a filial granddaughter-in-law who prescribed medicine to nourish my body. Otherwise, 1 would have been angered to death by my unfilial descendants!”
Bei Shuo let go of Mu Chen’s hand. “No way, I’m here. I can’t let anything happen to you.”
Mu Chen looked at Bei Shuo and felt happy. He deliberately pulled a long face. “Then why isn’t Mu Ci standing up again? He came in that lousy wheelchair again. Is he trying to annoy me on purpose?”
Bei Shuo looked around and realized that there was a tablet on the coffee table beside Old Master, facing the entrance of the ward.
Bei Shuo smiled. “Brother said that it’s his prop. He can’t stand up now. If he does, he won’t be able to explain Song Nan’s pregnancy. He’d rather sit in a wheelchair and let people think that he doesn’t have the ability.”
“What? Song Nan is pregnant?” Mu Chen was shocked.
It turned out that everyone in Mu Ci’s villa was arranged by Liu Ming, so Mu Chen didn’t receive the news as quickly.
Bei Shuo nodded. “I just heard about it. It shouldn’t have been made public yet, but Madam should be kicking up a fuss soon.”
Mu Chen, who had just sat up, slowly lay down.
“Girl, are you really sure there’s nothing between Mu Ci and Song Nan?” Mu Chen asked worriedly.
“Grandpa, you’ve asked me twice. I’m not sure anymore,” Bei Shuo said with a smile.
Mu Chen glared at her. “Girl, the arrows are all pointing at you now! You’re so calm.”
Bei Shuo’s smile remained unchanged. “It’s alright. Brother is on my side. Grandpa, you’re my guardian angel. I’m not afraid.”
Flattery would never be wrong.
Mu Chen immediately perked up. “Then, I don’t know who Song Nan had a child with that night. What about you and Mu Ci? When are you going to let me carry my great-grandson?”
Bei Shuo had been with Mu Ci for the past month. The two of them had gotten to know each other very well. She couldn’t help but blush when she heard Mu Chen’s straightforward words.
Seeing this, Mu Chen was overjoyed. “Mu Ci is not young anymore. You have to hurry up!”
Bei Shuo said with a red face, “Grandpa, don’t be anxious. It’s not suitable for Brother to have a child now. It’ll be good for the baby’s health when he completely recovers in another six months to a year.”
Mu Chen grabbed Bei Shuo’s wrist. “Girl, is what you said true? Mu Ci can have a child next year?”
Bei Shuo was shocked and her face turned even redder. She nodded. “Yes.”
Mu Chen let go and stroked his inch-long hair. “Alright, alright, alright! That’s great. This is good news!”
Bei Shuo was surprised. “Shouldn’t Grandpa be concerned about who the child in Song Nan’s stomach belongs to?”
Mu Chen said, “It’s not Mu Ci’s, so why should I care about it?”
Bei Shuo was speechless.
“But she will tell the outside world that the child is Brother Mu Ci’s.”
“I thought you didn’t believe it?” Mu Chen asked.
Bei Shuo nodded. “I don’t believe it, but aren’t you worried about the Mu Family’s reputation? Madam is certain that Song Nan and Brother Mu Ci have a relationship. Now that they have a child, Madam will definitely publicize it. By then, even if Brother has a hundred mouths, he won’t be able to explain it clearly. Brother doesn’t mind, but he’s worried that you will believe it. Hence, I think he’s here to explain this to you.”
Mu Chen pursed his lips. “He’s anxious now? Why didn’t he do it earlier?”
Bei Shuo hesitated.. “Do you believe him or not?”
