Chapter 496 - She had a miscarriage

Mo Weimin did not comment, he studied the Jianyu's face closely, his dark eyes seem to be hiding something. Since he had met Jianyu, he only speaks whenever required and keeps it short, holding the signature poker face intact but at the mention of the child, his expression changed.

What exactly is the matter?

*TIK TOK TIK TOK*

They heard the tapping of shoes on the stairs as the two women came down, chatting with each other happily.

Zeng Ruo looked at Xiu Mei guiltily. "Qinqin, are you still angry with me?"

"Huh?" Xiu Mei looked confused but then realized. "Oh! You are talking about the bracelet! C'mon, mom, I was just messing with you in the plane. Whether it's with you or me does that make any difference? Plus, I strongly believe that it rightfully belongs to you."

She lifted Zeng Ruo's chin up. "It was the jewelry grandmom was wearing when she died. And it contains the grandpa's love… I would love to see it on your wrist instead of mine. But…." She took out two additional charms from her bag. One of a squirrel and another a word 'Girlfriend' carved, she gave it to Zeng Ruo. "Include me and Zian in it."

"Ahem… ahem…." Zeng Shihong cleared his throat to get their attention.

"Grandpa…." Xiu Mei hurried to them taking fast steps….

Feng Jianyu: "Mei, careful."

Zian: "Sister, careful."

"C'mon you two, I'm fine now." She resisted the urge to roll her eyes and hugged Zeng Shihong.

Mo Weimin's eyes flickered. Yes, she is recuperating, must they react like this? Unless…..

Xiu Mei moved to hug Mo Weimin, "Grandpa, I know I've to come to Country T to meet Mo family, but can I do that after the next quarter? My company's performance….."

Mo Weimin: "It's okay, little one, I wanted to ask you the same. You've been through so much, it's best you gain your health first, traveling in this weak condition is not good for your body. And yes, R-Tech also needs you to look after; your employee's livelihood depends on it. We'll plan the get together some other day."

Feng Jianyu: "Then we'll get going."

After Xiu Mei and Feng Jianyu left the mansion, Mo Weimin's flicked his hand at Zian, asking him to come over. He took him away from everyone and used a hushed but stern tone, asked. "Tell me what are you hiding? What's wrong with Qinqin?"

Zian turned his face sideways. "I don't know what you are talking about? What can go wrong with her?"

"If nothing is wrong with her, then look into my eyes and say it." Mo Weimin's body shook, many unwanted thoughts haunted him at that moment. Noticing Zian was not saying anything he forced him to look at him. "Answer me before I get it investigated my way."

"Grandpa please, let this mater be a bygone if you wanted to see my sister happy."

"What do you mean?" He couldn't care less about anyone, but the one he is talking about his dearest Qinqin.

"Qinqin was pregnant when Yang Sheng attacked her." Zian's answer pulled the earth beneath Mo Weimin's feet.

"W-was…."

"S-She had a miscarriage,"

Mo Weimin was frozen in his place. He staggered if it was not Zian holding him he might have fallen down. His first grandchild was gone….

"The shock was too much for her body to hold the baby. She was barely four weeks pregnant, unaware of her pregnancy. Because of her emotional and physical condition, we suppressed the matter forever and never brought it up. It's only Dr. Wang Shi, brother-in-law, Matriarch Feng and I are aware." Zian dragged them to an inconspicuous position from where no one can see them, "Please grandpa, she is still young, can conceive again. If you'll behave like this more people will ask, I don't want sister to know about it."

Mo Weimin barely nodded. He understood why Jianyu reacted like that; he was protecting Xiu Mei from the unnecessary pressure of the elders. Indeed, he was right, right now the only priority should be to let her nourish her body and gain health.

"The real reason brother-in-law has decided to help her in business is to share her burden and stress. With him beside her, he will take care of her, keep her happy and with Matriarch Feng's traditional medicines she will be back to normal in no time." Zian said. The more he spends time with Feng Jianyu the more his admiration for the man increase. Saying he was actually influenced by him to become a better man won't be wrong.

It was a blessing to get a man like Feng Jianyu who prioritizes his wife above anything in this world. He can bear any pain just to keep her smile intact. He was always been patient with her when dealing with her stubbornness. He understood her needs rather than being Mr. Always Right. It was indeed his sister who was the luckiest to get Feng Jianyu as her life partner.

There was no way Zeng Shihong could have found a man like Feng Jianyu for her. Anyway, who cares about that?

They both are already each other's, and that's all that mattered.

Four months later….

"Chipmunk…. Chipmunk wake up…" Feng Jianyu placed kisses on her face, trying to wake up his sleeping beauty. Though he hated himself to wake her up in the middle of the night, if it was not important he would have never done that. "Baby…. Please, wake up….. I want to show you something…."

"Sleepy…." Xiu Mei pulled the layers of the quilt over her head, diving deep inside it, her one hand rested around the naked waist of Jianyu. "My body is still sore because of last night. Go away…"

He got up, and took out her clothes from the cupboard, "Sleep later… If you don't go with me right away, you'll regret it later." Just when he pulled down the quilt off her body, she shivered, holding it tightly for her dear life.

"C-c-c-c-cold…." Her teeth gnashed, she whined looking at the man who was putting clothes on her body, layer by layer. "Why are you doing this to me? You're cruel."

Three days back, Feng Jianyu gave a shock in the name of surprise by bringing her to one of the coldest places on the surface of the earth, Lapland. The coldest temperature in winter here ranges from -45°C to -50°C.
