Mu Xue sneered, her eyes cast down, and she said with self-deprecation, "I thought our plan would separate those two, but I never dreamed it would bring them together."
"The maid I arranged at Little Nine's villa sent me a message today saying they got their marriage certificate today."
These words instantly struck a raw nerve in Jiang Yuxin's heart.
She lowered her eyes, too heartbroken to speak.
Seeing her on the verge of tears, Mu Xue felt a pang of sympathy, "Why didn't you come back sooner?"
Jiang Yuxin instantly clenched her fists, sobbing softly, "I usually come back around winter and spring. I've been paying attention to Mu Jiuchen's every move abroad. Jiang Nuan appeared quite suddenly." It was so sudden that she couldn't understand why Mu Jiuchen would fall for Jiang Nuan and not her. By any measure, she was superior to Jiang Nuan.
She was unwilling, and she regretted it. Yes, why hadn't she returned sooner?
If she had returned earlier, perhaps things wouldn't be like this now.
Mu Xue gently patted her shoulder.
Looking at her with a loving smile, "Yuxin, don't worry, it's not too late to come back now. They're married, you can make them divorce. Men have their base instincts. As long as your tenderness can move Mu Jiuchen, you can make them separate."
Jiang Yuxin curled her lips into a cold smile. Thinking of Mu Jiuchen's attitude towards her, she said dejectedly, "How can it be that easy?"
"So, are you giving up?" Mu Xue frowned slightly.
Jiang Yuxin didn't seem like someone who gave up easily.
Jiang Yuxin gave a wry smile, her voice full of despondency, "I'm so tired, I want to give up."
If Mu Jiuchen loved her, she could fall into it with complete confidence and drive Jiang Nuan out of Mu Jiuchen's world.
But Mu Jiuchen wouldn't even agree to see her. Where would she find the motivation?
Seeing her tendency to retreat, Mu Xue's expression turned serious, "Yuxin, once the arrow is released from the bow, there's no turning back. You're so close to success now, why give up?"
Jiang Yuxin gave a bitter smile and looked at Mu Xue, asking, "Aunt, how is it close? It's clearly very far. Do you know? Aunt, he won't even see me. How can I have the courage to keep waiting?"
Today's events had dealt her a huge blow.
She felt as uncomfortable as if she had been toyed with by Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan.
Mu Xue understood Mu Jiuchen's temperament. He wouldn't even meet someone he didn't like.
"Yuxin, I have some good news for you."
Jiang Yuxin looked at her, remaining silent, waiting for her to share the good news.
"Yuxin, Jiang Nuan is going to die!" Mu Xue said with a sinister smile.
Jiang Yuxin's interest instantly piqued, "Aunt, what do you mean by that? Why is Jiang Nuan going to die?"
If Jiang Nuan died, she would definitely set off firecrackers to celebrate.
Mu Xue thought about the information she heard from her informants. She didn't know if Jiang Nuan would die, but as long as Jiang Yuxin believed Jiang Nuan would die, it was enough.
"It's like this, Jiang Nuan seems to be sick. She suffers excruciating pain every few days, and Little Nine has been accompanying her during this time."
"Is there such a thing?" Jiang Yuxin frowned and looked at her.
"Yes!"
Seeing her interest, Mu Xue nodded.
"By the way, is it true that Brother Chen's mother isn't dead?" I was very shocked when I saw the news.
But the news was quickly suppressed, and after that, there was no more information about Mu Jiuchen's mother.
A hint of coldness flashed in Mu Xue's eyes, "She's not dead, it's true. However, He Junshu is just as stubborn. I can't get anything done through her. She doesn't even leave the He family's doorstep, so there's no way to use her."
Jiang Yuxin pondered. There had to be a way.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "Aunt, I have an idea."
...
In the hospital!
Yun Xia came out of the bathroom and saw Li QingShuo sitting on the sofa, folding the baby's clothes.
These clothes were washed by Li QingShuo's mother and sent over.
His mother was also very good to her, caring for her daily and asking her what she wanted to eat.
She was afraid that such warmth would be fleeting.
Seeing how carefully Li QingShuo was folding, a happy smile played on his lips.
She thought he loved this child very much.
Even though it was an accident, if he received the love of his parents, he would be very happy!
Li QingShuo saw her emerge from the shower, raised his eyes, and looked at her with a gentle smile, "Xiaxia, are you going to rest?"
Yun Xia had just showered, and her face had a faint blush. Her lips were red and her teeth were white. When she smiled, she looked very gentle.
"Mhm!" She wasn't sleepy today; she had slept quite a bit.
She sat opposite Li QingShuo, her face showing concern, "My sister's due date is these few days, and I'm a bit worried about her."
Li QingShuo put down the folded baby clothes and then looked at her, "Xiaxia, you don't need to worry. If your sister gives birth, she'll give birth here. This is a hospital under Little Nine's name, and the doctors here are very authoritative. Your sister will be fine. Didn't you forget? Even if something happens, there's still Nuannuan?"
Yun Xia's expression was slightly unnatural as she corrected him, "That's my sister."
Li QingShuo smiled and didn't say anything. In the end, it might still be his sister.
Yun Xia hadn't been rejecting him lately, which was a good sign.
Yun Xia looked at him not speaking, his handsome and refined face still carrying a faint smile. He took care of her meticulously, which truly touched her.
"Xiaxia, drink some hot water. The temperature is just right." Li QingShuo handed her the water at the perfect temperature.
She had been feeling a bit anxious these past few days. The doctor had said she needed to be accompanied properly.
Perhaps because Yun Tong was about to give birth, she also became nervous.
"Thank you!" Yun Xia drank the water.
Li QingShuo solicitously took back the cup.
"The baby hasn't been named yet. You're the father, you choose."
She had been remembering this matter.
Li QingShuo hadn't considered this question before. His smile paused, and he looked at Yun Xia with some nervousness, "Xiaxia, can I really help choose the baby's name?"
Yun Xia looked at his nervous and cautious expression, slightly stunned. Why would he ask that?
"You are the child's father. The child's name is naturally for you to choose."
Li QingShuo bit his lower lip, his eyes glistening slightly. He pursed his lips and smiled before saying softly, "Xiaxia, I've actually been very nervous, afraid that you would refuse my involvement in the child's life. I want to give you the best, but I'm afraid of crossing your boundaries."
Yun Xia looked at him with astonishment, "Why would you think that?"
Li QingShuo gave a bitter smile, "Xiaxia, there's a reason why I think this way. When you decided to keep this child, you didn't intend for me to know, nor did you intend for me to be involved in your and the child's lives. Later, when I found out, I tried to approach you cautiously. After getting closer to you, I felt very sorry for you. If I had been more attentive, I could have stayed with you all along."
Hearing him say this, Yun Xia felt a pang of sadness. He was the president of the prestigious Li Group, noble and handsome. The one who lacked courage had always been her.
Yun Xia lowered her eyes, her eyes moist, and said softly, "Li QingShuo, you've done very well now. Let's think of a name for the baby together tonight."
