Falling tonight

The desk lamp was rotated and turned on, and the sudden light in the room was so harsh that Zhao Rou raised her hand to cover her eyes to block the light.

She only heard a suppressed and delicate cry from the other end of the phone, intermittent, "I, I'm at No. 288, Xinhai Road. I'm so scared, Mu Zhou, can you come here quickly?"

The next second, Zhao Rou felt that the man sitting next to her opened the quilt and got out of bed.

She heard Mu Zhou's voice was oppressive and heavy, "I'll be there right away. You find a safe place to wait for me."

Xinhai Road is a famous middle zone in Asia City, where some powerful underworld gangsters often roam.

Mu Zhou had a brief doubt in his heart, but he had no time to think about why Xiao Xinyun appeared there so late at night.

Zhao Rou felt nervous. She opened her eyes and watched from a distance as the man picked up the clothes on the bed and quickly put them on.

She also sat up, and the quilt slipped from her smooth shoulders and fell on her chest, faintly revealing the hickeys on her snow-white skin.

"I'm sorry," Mu Zhou noticed Zhao Rou getting up and saying apologetically while wearing clothes.

After fastening the buckle of his trousers, Mu Zhou strode to Zhao Rou, leaned over and kissed her sweat-soaked forehead, raised his hand and rubbed the top of her hair soothingly, "Xin Yun, there's an emergency over there. I have to go over there and be back later, you go to sleep first."

Zhao Rou's face froze.

His words were like a basin of cold water, pouring directly over her head, awakening her longing for Mu Zhou.

The man who had been fighting her to death just now turned around and left her just because of another woman's phone call.

Zhao Rou held back the uncontrollable sourness in her heart and stretched out her hand to gently tug on his sleeves. Her tone was especially hoarse and weak afterward, "Where are your bodyguards? Can't you let them go to find her?"

Do you have to go in person?

Mu Zhou's expression froze for a moment, his tone softened, and he kissed her lips again, "Good boy, don't think too much. I'll go over and make sure she's safe and I'll be right back."

Zhao Rou grabbed his sleeve and looked up at him. What she saw in his eyes was that she could not refuse.

He spoke the gentlest words and made decisions that Zhao Rou couldn't accept.

What an irony.

She let go of her hand on his sleeve, turned her head, and said in a cold voice, "Let's go."

Mu Zhou didn't miss the look of disappointment in the eyes of the woman in front of him. After sighing, he turned around and went out.

Mu Zhou left for a long time, and Zhao Rou kept her sitting position unchanged.

She recalled what Mu Zhou said tonight. He was devoted to her and she admired him, but why did she feel that there was still a gap between them that could not be crossed?
After sitting for a long time, Zhao Rou suddenly remembered that important thing. She quickly gathered her thoughts, took out her phone and ordered a pregnancy test stick.

An hour later, Zhao Rou endured the pain on her ankle and nervously walked into the bathroom with a pregnancy test stick.

After waiting for 5 long minutes, Zhao Rou sat on the toilet, staring at the text that suddenly appeared on the pregnancy test stick, her eyes widening suddenly.

It clearly says "pregnant".

Like five thunders striking her head, Zhao Rou's body was shaking, and every hair on her body stood on end.

She is pregnant.

and Mu Zhou’s children.

The beating of the heart beat loudly against the chest and passed into the eardrums, panicking and rapid.

She is really pregnant.

Zhao Rou stared blankly at the words on the pregnancy test stick for a long time before she found her distracted thoughts.

Holding on to the wall, she limped out of the bathroom and picked up her cell phone from the bed. The first thing that came to Zhao Rou's mind was to call Mu Zhou and tell him.

Her hands were shaking as she dialed.

How would Muzhou react if he found out?
Does he want this child?

Zhao Rou waited anxiously for the call to come through. One minute passed, and only a cold electronic busy tone came from the phone.

Did not get through.

Zhao Rou's excitement dropped to freezing point at this moment.

By the way, he went to find Xiao Xinyun, who was busy with other things.

Zhao Rou held the phone in one hand and looked at the pregnancy test stick in her hand, with a wry smile on her lips.

Throwing the phone back on the bed, Zhao Rou lay down again, touching her flat belly, with complicated thoughts in her heart.

She never thought she would be a mother one day.

Before I was ready, there was already a life in my belly.

Can she play the role of a good mother?

Where is Muzhou?
What will his attitude be?

After waiting for a long time and not getting a call back from Mu Zhou, Zhao Rou kept running through many questions in her mind. Gradually, her head became heavy and her mind became chaotic.

Feeling sleepy, Zhao Rou couldn't bear it and fell asleep.

……

Mu Zhou drove to the place Xiao Xinyun said.

After getting out of the car, Muzhou looked around.

Xinhai Road is an area where gangsters often circulate. There is a mixed bag of fish and dragons here, and criminals often appear and act.

He had never set foot in this kind of area. At night, the street lights were dim and there were few people. The surrounding buildings were low and damp. A smell of decay rushed into his nose. Muzhou resisted the discomfort and saw a man dressed in white at a corner. Xiao Xinyun in skirt.

"How are you hurt?"

Mu Zhou frowned as he looked at the person standing in the corner.

Xiao Xinyun leaned against the wall, lowered her head and crossed her chest, shrinking into a ball, as if she was extremely scared.

The fabric of the white skirt on her shoulders was torn to pieces, revealing a hole. Her smooth black hair, which she usually took care of, was casually draped in front of her, looking slightly messy.

When Xiao Xinyun heard his voice, she raised her head suddenly, her face turned pale, and rushed towards Mu Zhou.

"You're finally here, Mu Zhou," Xiao Xinyun threw herself into Mu Zhou's arms, clutching the shirt on his chest tightly, and her tears wet his clothes instantly.

Mu Zhou gently supported her, distanced himself from her, and said in a deep voice, "Get in the car with me and leave here first."

Xiao Xinyun raised her head, looked at him with watery almond eyes and nodded.

Muzhou took out a spare jacket from the trunk and handed it to Xiao Xinyun, who was sitting in the co-pilot, "Your clothes are torn, put on this gear."

"Thank you." Xiao Xinyun sniffed with a heavy cry.

"Why are you here so late?" Mu Zhou put his hands on the steering wheel and drove towards the hotel.

"I, I found a photo when I was cleaning up my old house. It was an uncle holding me when I was a child. There was an address in the photo that was nearby. I still remember that uncle, so I wanted to come over and see if he is still there. Are you here anymore?"

The more Xiao Xinyun talked, the more scared she became, "I didn't expect that my phone and bag were snatched away as soon as I got off the car, and my clothes were torn. Fortunately, I found a passerby to call you. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known what to do." What should I do?"

Xiao Xinyun covered her chest and patted it in fear.

Mu Zhou looked at her and said, "Just talk to Assistant Gao about whoever you want. You haven't been back for a long time and I don't know. That area is no longer safe. You shouldn't go there alone at night."

"You have helped me enough. I didn't want to trouble you anymore, so I didn't tell you," Xiao Xinyun said in an aggrieved tone. "I'm sorry for asking you to come from home so late and disturbing your sleep." (End of Chapter)
