Even as Tang Si urgently clamored, Qing Muye calmly looked at the files, his thin lips parting slightly as he slowly said, "What is it?"
He seemed accustomed to Tang Si's carefree personality, believing that the important matters he spoke of might not truly be so.
"That..."
Tang Si hesitated, perhaps unsure if the child Meng Jingwei was carrying belonged to Qing Muye. He then said, "You, you should prepare yourself."
This time, Qing Muye finally closed the file and looked up at him, "You better have something important."
"Of course!"
Tang Si nodded vigorously. After a long pause, he finally said, "A friend invited me to his hospital to see a rare case, and I..."
"Get to the point."
"The point is, I found out Little Chili is pregnant, and that child..."
He drew out the end of his sentence, his gaze fixed on Qing Muye. Noticing the furrow in his brow and the chill in his expression, he immediately felt that the child likely wasn't his.
He continued, "Could it be... from some wild man?"
Qing Muye's cold eyes slightly lifted, a sharp glint shooting towards Tang Si. He then threw the files on the desk at him, "I am the 'wild man' you're talking about!"
"Ah? It's really you?"
Tang Si had to admit he was quite surprised.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, muttering to himself, "No wonder Little Chili looked so dejected back then. You had already broken up, and now that she's pregnant, she would naturally be sad. After all... after all, you've already lost one child."
Saying this, Tang Si placed the B-ultrasound report on the table.
Qing Muye picked up the report, his expression grave as he read it for a long time. Then, leaning back in his executive chair, he instinctively reached for his phone to call Meng Jingwei.
But as he unlocked his phone and tapped on Meng Jingwei's contact number, he hesitated.
Finally, he slowly placed the phone on the table.
He pulled a cigarette from the pack, lit it, and leaned back in his chair, smoking in silence, lost in thought for a long time.
Qing Muye's reaction left Tang Si baffled, "Uh uh... Second Brother, what... what's with your reaction? The child is yours, aren't you going to call Little Chili and ask her?"
It was like an emperor wasn't anxious while the eunuch was in a hurry.
Seeing Qing Muye sitting there as stable as a mountain, Tang Si grew anxious.
"Don't say anything about this."
Qing Muye's cold gaze flicked towards Tang Si, his eyes filled with warning.
"What do you mean?"
Tang Si was completely confused, unable to understand Qing Muye's thoughts. "Such a big matter, aren't you going to contact her?"
Contact?
Qing Muye certainly wanted to contact her, wishing he could appear by Meng Jingwei's side immediately.
But she was pregnant and had repeatedly concealed it from him, even lying about going shopping with Chu Xue, only to go to the hospital for a check-up.
If Tang Si hadn't coincidentally bumped into it, who knew how long she would have kept it a secret.
"That time you had an accident in Country C, Little Chili called me. She knows you still have feelings for her. Why don't you... reconcile now?"
Tang Si, seeing Qing Muye's solemn expression, also began to worry.
"Look, you have money and power now, and soon you'll have twins. You're practically at the peak of your life."
"And Little Chili, she can be sweet or feisty, incredibly beautiful, and also capable and intelligent. Second Brother, you've truly struck gold."
"Grandma Qing has been wishing for you to have children for so many years. If she knew Little Chili was pregnant with twins, she'd probably be happy for days."
"Guess what? Are they a boy and a girl, or two boys, or two girls in Little Chili's belly?"
The talkative Tang Si chattered incessantly.
Qing Muye held the cigarette butt between his fingers and flicked the ash into the ashtray, his cold eyes sweeping over him, "Shut up."
His incessant chatter gave him a headache.
"Second Brother, this is where you're wrong. You have twins, and it should be a cause for celebration for everyone, so why can't I speak?" Tang Si rolled his eyes at him. "Not only will I speak, but I'll also call the brothers out to celebrate with you."
"If you don't want to die, go ahead and say it."
Qing Muye said sternly, directly shutting Tang Si up.
...
First Meeting Wedding Company.
Meng Jingwei drove to First Meeting Wedding after a solitary walk.
As Meng Jingwei emerged from the parking lot and approached the First Meeting Wedding company, Old Chen, who was working as a security guard at the entrance, saw her.
Old Chen's face lit up, "Yo, why are you here, you little rascal?"
Old Chen, dressed in a navy blue security uniform, chuckled and walked up to her. He suddenly noticed her pale complexion and asked with concern, "What's wrong? You look so unwell?"
Meng Jingwei pointed to the resting area outside the company, "I have something to talk to you about."
The two walked under the sunshade in the resting area. Meng Jingwei pulled out a chair and sat down, sighing uncontrollably.
"What's wrong?"
Old Chen sat opposite Meng Jingwei. Seeing her dejected face and worried expression, it was clear she had something on her mind.
"I..."
Meng Jingwei stammered, looking up at Old Chen, "I'm pregnant."
"What?"
Old Chen was stunned for a moment, then slammed the table and pointed at Meng Jingwei's face, "This is simply outrageous!"
Like most parents, he would fly into a rage upon learning of his child's pregnancy.
As Meng Jingwei's master, and like a father to her, he had placed high hopes and trust in her, yet he was still furious upon hearing this news.
Meng Jingwei lowered her head, nervously picking at her fingernails, her thoughts in a mess.
There were things she really didn't want to tell Old Chen, but her situation was different, and she couldn't hide it.
Seeing Meng Jingwei's silence, Old Chen angrily moved his chair, sat down, and glared at Meng Jingwei, "What are you thinking?"
"I don't know."
Her mind was a jumble, and she truly hadn't thought of a solution.
Old Chen had told her that day that he would arrange for her to undergo six months of rigorous training. Now that she was pregnant, the plan was put on hold.
It wasn't long before she had to return to the hidden tribe, and the fate of the child was a tricky dilemma.
"This child cannot be kept!"
Old Chen gave a definitive answer and stated his stance.
Hearing Old Chen's reply, Meng Jingwei was not surprised. She calmly replied, "Twins."
"Twins?"
To abort one child was already a sin, but two children...
This truly stumped Old Chen.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Does Muye know?"
Meng Jingwei shook her head, "He doesn't know yet. However, I didn't plan to tell him."
Meng Jingwei, who had been looking down for a long time, suddenly looked up, her eyes firm, "But I will definitely keep the children."
She had stated her position.
She continued, "I came to see you today to discuss leaving Qing Muye."
From the day she learned of her identity, she had thought about not implicating Qing Muye.
He had already sacrificed a lot, and she didn't want to drag him deeper into it.
After all, these matters had nothing to do with him.
