"What? I am saying the truth." Gong Xu scoffed at his attitude and he began his list. "Riding horse from one city to another, climbing mountain, fighting…" Gong Xu counted with his hand. "She did all forbidden things! Unbelievable."
"She is very blessed, that is why she and the baby have survived." Xun tried to cheer up the atmosphere.
"Right! Both mother and the baby are strong!" Sheng chimed in, looking warily at Xiao Tianyao who seemingly would cut off Gong Xu's head in the next second.
Uncle Su looked at Senja intensely when he spoke. "You are really pregnant?"
"I guess so…" Senja glanced at Xiao Tianyao who didn't say anything from the beginning. "Gong Xu is a doctor after all, if he said I am pregnant then it must be true…"
"But…" Uncle Su leaned his body toward Senja, the taut in his expression never left his face. "How can you get pregnant?"
The corner of Senja's lips twitched slightly. "Should I tell you the detail?" She asked sarcastically, but never thought Uncle Su would take it seriously.
"Yes, please."
His answer earned big slaps behind his back from Sheng and Xun. Both of them scolded the old man who vigorously while Senja couldn't help but smiled at their antic.
"Take a rest Senja!! You need that!" Sheng dragged Uncle Su out of the room with his twin brother held Uncle Su other arm.
"Congratulation!" Xun waved them goodbye and closed the door behind him.
After the sound of the three of them ceased down, Gong Xu handed a prescription at Xiao Tianyao and gave a little instruction that, strangely, he listened attentively and nodded a couple of time.
After he had made sure everything was fine, then he left.
When it was only the two of them inside the room, Sonja looked Xiao Tianyao's curiously and cupped his tired face there was another scar on him, but there was nothing serious about it. The thing that made her worry was; he didn't talk at all and acted very strange.
"What happen?" Senja urged him to look at her, but he refused stubbornly. "You don't want the baby?" She blurted out.
Senja couldn't find another reason, even though she didn't think that Xiao Tianyao would hate the idea to having a child with her.
And what she had thought, had proven right. The man scowled and glared at her.
"I think that's a 'no'…" Senja chuckled. "So, what is it?"
Xiao Tianyao still refused to answer her and rested his forehead on her left shoulder. Heaved a heavy sighed.
"I can't imagine that I let my woman entered the battlefield with my unborn child, if something happened…" He trailed off as his voice filled with raw emotion.
"I am sorry… I didn't know that I am pregnant…" Senja felt guilty to risk her life and her unborn child because of her stubbornness. The image of Qianru had miscarriage was roaming in her mind and made her shivered in fear.
"Are you feeling cold?" Xiao Tianyao lifted his head from Senja's shoulder.
He wrapped her body with blanket and hugged her carefully, afraid to hurt the baby and worsen the wound on her shoulder.
Senja comfortably nestled on his chest, hearing his heart beating.
No one was talking, but it was a beautiful silence with the moonlight shone on them and the rustling of the wind between the leaves.
"I wonder what Mugi's reaction will be…" Senja lifted her head to look at Xiao Tianyao.
However, the man didn't answer her immediately, brushed away a strand of her hair from her face indulgently with a big bright smile on his face and kissed her forehead.
"He will be ecstatic."
