Chapter 850: Need A Favor

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

After taking a nap, Mu Lan and Ru Xin went to the kitchen and saw that the lunch was ready for them. As for the cook, he was nowhere to be found. Ru Xin was very skeptical about this. His castle had a high security and no one would be able to come here without him noticing. If a person wanted to invade here uninvited, a siren would have rung. However, when the doctor in blue clothes came and attacked him, nothing happened. It made him wonder if that doctor was some kind of terrorist. However, after being treated by him, Ru Xin couldn't think bad about it. Moreover, that doctor came for him Little Lan and she confirmed that she grew up with him. She was a person with a good heart and the person who taught her everything couldn't be a bad person; that's what Ru Xin believed.

He asked Mu Lan, "Where did your doctor go?"

Mu Lan truthfully answered, "He didn't sleep well for the past few days. So, I told him to sleep. I believe we will find him in the clinic."

Ru Xin was surprised. "Why is he in the clinic? I will prepare a room for him, right away."

As he was about to stand up, Mu Lan interrupted him saying, "No need. Even if you arrange a room, he will still stay there. He feels at home when he stays in a clinic or hospital."

Ru Xin didn't know what to say. So, he tried to find out about Pedro. "…He doesn't look like European."

Mu Lan gave him a business-like smile and said nothing more. Seeing her expression, Ru Xin controlled his curiosity about the doctor.

After Pedro woke up, he took Mu Lan for ultrasonography. Since it was a clinic for the army, it had everything. He could easily do her check-up. When he took the picture of the ultrasonography of her uterus and gave it to her. Mu Lan took the picture with great interest and when she looked at the picture, she was stunned. The joy overlapped with astonishment. Then her eyes were filled with tears. "…This…" She couldn't speak anymore.

Pedro smiled and patted her back. "You have done a good job up until now. You will become a good mother. You have to take care of yourself more from now on."

"I'm scared." Mu Lan was still crying. For some reason, she couldn't control her emotions at all. It also happened when she saw Mu Liang. Now she knew why pregnant women were emotional all the time.

Pedro said, "You have nothing to be scared of. I will be here with you. And I will call Carl to stay here. He will cook whatever you want to eat. Maybe I should call more people so that they can grow some vegetables for you."

Mu Lan worriedly asked, "Huh?! But won't it be a problem if the enemy finds out?"

Pedro brushed off her worry. "They won't look for you here, you said so yourself. After all, this boy's father was one of their subordinates. You are completely safe here. Moreover, they don't know our faces except for Juan. As long as we don't use our power, it will be alright. But we might need this boy's help to bring them here. Can he be trusted?"

Mu Lan nodded. "I will talk to him. And also, can you tell Shin to contact Liang Liang? I want him to be here as well if possible."

Pedro nodded as it seemed reasonable. The husband should stay with his pregnant wife. He asked, "Will you tell him about the result of the ultrasonography?"

"Let's keep it a secret from everyone." Mu Lan put her index finger on her lips and winked mischievously.

Later, Mu Lan found Ru Xin in the control room. She knocked on the door and entered. He looked at her and asked, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you take some rest?"

She sat on an empty chair and said, "I'm not a patient and this is not a hospital. Why will I take a rest all the time? By the way, I was meaning to ask you. Why do you have so much free time?"

Ru Xin smiled. His smile was full of pain. "I've a special position now after that poison incident. The higher-ups don't call me if there isn't any important mission."

Mu Lan felt bad for him. She knew that he really loved being in the army and he felt proud of being a Major General. If it wasn't for his father, he would have a bright future ahead. She patted his back and said, "It's a good thing that you have plenty of time." She didn't want to show him sympathy to make him feel even more sad.

Ru Xin chuckled. "That's true. I have lots of free time to spend with you. Tell me, is there something you need? You are being awfully sweet. It's scaring me."

Mu Lan pouted. "How mean!"

Ru Xin changed the subject. "Are you here to talk about my business?"

She shook her head. "There is something I want you to do but I need to know about the Li Family's situation."

Ru Xin said, "Ah… Li Sheng is still in the hospital. The one who tried to kill him did a splendid job. He isn't in the vegetated state nor he could walk. He is in a living dead situation. The doctors gave him painkillers and tried their best to make him sleep with sleeping pills. But he is in so much pain that the pills aren't working on him. His brother Li Shen saw his brother's situation and stopped looking for you. He is doing his best to find a suitable doctor for Li Sheng."

"So, that's how it is." Mu Lan nodded in satisfaction.

Ru Xin nudged her. "Alright, tell me what you want."

Mu Lan said, "Before I tell you what I want, there is something I wish you to know."

He asked casually, "What is it?"

"I'm pregnant." She said and waited for his reaction. She knew that she had to tell him first as she was living under his protection.

Ru Xin first thought that he heard wrong. Afterwards, seeing her serious expression, he knew that he was imagining things. She was indeed pregnant. He felt suffocated. He was feeling a throbbing pain in his heart. He squeezed out a smile and said, "You have no idea how happy I am for you. No wonder you were sleeping and eating more than usual."

Mu Lan frowned. "When did I eat so much that you have to make fun of me?"

Ru Xin chuckled. "No, you don't eat that much. You just gained some weight."

Mu Lan felt so angry that she stood up. He immediately caught her hand. "Wait, I was just joking. Tell me, is there anything you want me to buy for you? What do you want to eat?"

"Are you still asking what I want to eat after saying that I became fat? Let me tell you that I'm two months pregnant and that's why it looks like I gained some weight, but I did not." Mu Lan said furiously.

"Yes, yes, that's true." Ru Xin innocently looked at him and controlled his laughter. She looked adorable when she was angry. He still didn't believe her words.

Mu Lan didn't argue with him. "Since you have time to humor yourself, do me a favor. Some people will come to take care of me and I need you to fetch them."
