Chapter 1067: Chapter 1109: Investigating the Matter

Not long after, a knock on the door echoed in the hospital room.

Huo Junmo glanced at Ling Yueyue, who had her back to him, and his thin lips parted lightly as he said, "Come in!"

As the words fell, the door to the hospital room was pushed open from outside! The butler walked in with a thermos lunch box and a set of neatly packed clothes in hand, "Sir, this is Madam’s clothes and breakfast!"

Huo Junmo nodded, walked to the bedside, gently rubbed Ling Yueyue’s head, and said softly, "Hurry up and eat breakfast, don’t let yourself get so hungry. It’s not good for the child in your belly!"

Ling Yueyue didn’t turn around to look at him but instead pouted and complained, "Now you only care about the child and not me, is that it? You don’t care about my feelings!"

Huo Junmo shook his head with a smile, helplessly saying, "How could that be? If it weren’t for you, how would there be a child! Be good, hurry and get up to eat breakfast! Once the child is born, you can eat whatever you want, I won’t mind at all. But right now, you’re not alone, don’t be so willful! Be good!"

"...!" Listening to Huo Junmo’s words, Ling Yueyue was silent for a moment before she slowly turned around, looked at Huo Junmo with a hint of grievance, pouted her lips, sat up, and reached out her hand to the butler, "Give me the breakfast!"

Seeing that she finally came around, Huo Junmo smiled with pursed lips.

Watching the smile on his face, Ling Yueyue explained while eating breakfast, "I’m telling you, I’m not admitting I’m being willful, I’m thinking of the child! No matter how angry I am, I can’t hurt the baby! I’m eating for the child’s sake, humph...!"

Huo Junmo’s gaze softened, and he tenderly said, "No matter who you’re doing it for, as long as you’re willing to eat, that’s good enough!"

"Humph...!" Ling Yueyue snorted heavily and finished the bird’s nest porridge the butler brought very thoroughly!

After finishing breakfast, Ling Yueyue changed into the clothes the butler brought and was about to go to school, only to be refused by Huo Junmo, "No, you must stay home and be observed for a day. I’m worried there might be unexpected situations at any time! If there’s no issue today, you can go to school tomorrow, it’s not too late!"

"...!" Ling Yueyue was stunned for a moment, looked at Huo Junmo for a good while, and finally took a deep breath and reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Seeing how straightforwardly Ling Yueyue agreed, Huo Junmo nodded in satisfaction, gently rubbed her forehead, "I’ll take you back first, then I’ll take a shower, change clothes, and go to the company! After finishing work at the company, I’ll come back early to stay with you!"

"Mm!" Ling Yueyue nodded and said nothing, being led away hand-in-hand by Huo Junmo!

She was not the type of particularly pampered girl who thought being pregnant made her exceptional and wanted her husband by her side all the time! On the contrary, she felt that in this situation, if Huo Junmo were with her all the time, restricting this and that, she couldn’t bear it. Being alone would give her more freedom!

When Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue returned home, Huo Jiantian had already gone to school, while Nan Jinning was leisurely sitting on the sofa in the living room, reading a newspaper with his legs crossed! Seeing Ling Yueyue and Huo Junmo returning hand-in-hand, he snorted disdainfully, mocking, "What? I heard your stomach hurt last night and you went to the hospital? I knew it, street food isn’t clean, but you wouldn’t listen. Now you’re in the hospital, happy?"

Seeing Nan Jinning not showing any concern and instead sitting there making sarcastic remarks, Ling Yueyue couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She cupped her hands on her belly, tenderly saying, "Sorry, I might have disappointed you! My stomach ache wasn’t from bad food. It was because I’m pregnant! The doctor said I should rest at home and nurture the pregnancy!"

Hearing that Ling Yueyue was pregnant, Nan Jinning’s face changed suddenly, and he jumped up from the sofa, staring incredulously at Ling Yueyue’s still flat belly, excitedly saying, "What did you say? You’re pregnant?"

Very satisfied with Nan Jinning’s reaction, Ling Yueyue smiled cheerfully, "Yes! I am pregnant! I’m carrying your brother-in-law’s child!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Jinning lightly ruffled his hair, his emotions slightly out of control, muttering to himself, "No... impossible... how can it be... how is this possible! How could you be pregnant!"

Ling Yueyue raised an eyebrow, matter-of-factly saying, "Why not? Your brother-in-law is a normal man, I’m a normal woman, and our married life is very harmonious. We didn’t take any contraceptives, so it’s only natural to get pregnant, isn’t it?"

Nan Jinning looked at Huo Junmo, disappointedly saying, "Brother-in-law... how could you let her carry your child! How could you do this?"

Huo Junmo’s brows furrowed tightly, warning sternly, "Jianning, mind your status, you’re already twenty-two years old; you should know what you can and cannot say!"

"Brother-in-law...!" Nan Jinning stomped his foot in defiance, unwillingly watching Huo Junmo.

"We’re going upstairs, do as you wish!" Not wanting to waste time with Nan Jinning anymore, Huo Junmo led Ling Yueyue upstairs!

Watching their departing figures, Nan Jinning’s eyes were red with anger, and tears continuously welled in his eyes!

Clearly, she knew they were husband and wife and having children was only natural! But, knowing Ling Yueyue was pregnant still made her feel so uncomfortable and unwilling!

Why, why was Ling Yueyue so lucky, to not only receive her brother-in-law’s love but also bear his child? Why?

As if hearing her inner thoughts, Ling Yueyue suddenly turned her head while going upstairs, made a face at her, smiled triumphantly, and disappeared around the corner of the second-floor staircase.

After going upstairs, Huo Junmo took a shower, changed into a clean outfit, shaved the stubble that grew from a sleepless night, and seriously instructed Ling Yueyue to rest well, finally giving her a deep kiss on the forehead before heading out!

On the way downstairs, Huo Junmo repeatedly instructed the butler to take good care of Ling Yueyue and to observe her condition at all times before he finally drove away.

Once at the company’s office, Huo Junmo picked up the internal line phone, and after the call connected, he spoke to the person on the line, "Come to my office immediately!" Saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for a reaction.

Soon after, there was a knock on the office door!

"Come in!" As Huo Junmo’s voice fell, the office door was pushed open from outside, and Meng Bo walked in!

Meng Bo lowered his head, respectfully saying, "President, what are your orders?"

Huo Junmo was silent for a while, his eyes flickered twice, and he said in a deep voice, "Investigate something for me, and make sure to give me the answer in the shortest time possible!"

Meng Bo calmly asked, "What is it?"
