Chapter 985: Xiaxia Are You Pregnant

Today was the day of the competition, and Baili Xia didn’t want to affect everyone.

Speaking of which, she picked up a bowl of porridge and slowly began to drink.

Mu Xiaojiu slightly furrowed her brows, but seeing Baili Xia starting to eat, she said nothing.

At the table, everyone occasionally discussed the competition, but there weren’t many words.

Mu Xiaojiu instructed the younger members about things to pay attention to today, especially reminding Baili Xia, after all, it was her first time participating in a martial arts competition.

Regardless of what had happened or was happening between the two of them, as soon as it involved official business, Mu Xiaojiu never mixed in any personal emotions.

So today, when speaking to Baili Xia, he was still that Uncle, serious, indifferent, and composed.

Baili Xia sighed in relief; at least today’s Uncle had no hostility or displeasure towards her.

Everyone was eating when suddenly, Baili Xia stood up abruptly from her seat.

One hand covering her mouth, the other pushing the chair away as she ran towards the restroom.

Mu Ziying saw this and quickly stood up from her chair to follow.

Then, those sitting in the dining room heard the sound of Baili Xia retching repeatedly in the restroom.

Inside the restroom, Mu Ziying gently patted Baili Xia’s back while speaking,

“What’s wrong with you? If your stomach is uncomfortable, just throw up, it’ll feel better once you do.”

Baili Xia leaned against the wall, facing the flushing toilet, but only retched without vomiting anything.

After a while, Baili Xia finally managed to stop the urge to vomit and slowly straightened herself up.

Although she hadn’t vomited anything, she felt as if her body had been hollowed out, weak and limp.

Baili Xia gently rubbed her chest, trying to breathe deeply.

After a moment, she bowed her head, took a mouthful of water from the faucet to rinse her mouth.

When Mu Ziying helped Baili Xia out of the restroom, several people were already standing at the door.

The old patriarch, Mu Xiaojiu, Mu Lingchuan, Mu Xiaoyao, and Mu Ziqing were all gathered at the entrance.

Seeing these people, Baili Xia felt a warmth inside.

Mu Xiaojiu, looking at Baili Xia with sweat beading on her forehead, spoke with an unexpected softness, “Let Nangong Xu have a look at you.”

Baili Xia’s heart fluttered, Uncle’s voice hadn’t been this gentle in a while.

Lately, even the occasional word spoken in her presence, regardless to whom, had always been cold.

That slight softness made her feel sad, yet what he said also made her panic.

“There’s, there’s nothing wrong, Uncle, just a little stomach discomfort,” she quickly interjected.

“Really just stomach discomfort?

It looks like you’re pregnant,” Mu Lingchuan’s voice rang out, sounding a bit teasing, “I must say, Xiaoyao, you’re quite fast.”

Mu Xiaoyao just gave him a faint look, not speaking, neither admitting nor denying.

Hearing this, the old patriarch was overjoyed, “Really? Xiaxia, is it true?”

Saying this, he stepped forward, taking Baili Xia’s hands in his, holding them tight.

“If it’s true, I, as a grandfather, would be so happy, it seems we need to get your affairs in order promptly, haha.”

For their kind of large family, things like academics were trivial.

Once she had given birth, she could catch up on that later; the Mu family’s children faced no issue whenever they decided to pursue education.

If there truly was a little tyke on the way, that would simply be a delight for him.
