After hearing her question, Mu Ci stared at Xu Qiaoqiao with cold black eyes, making her feel bleak, thinking that there was something on her face.

She stretched out her hand and touched it without touching anything dirty. Then she met Mu Ci's eyes in confusion and asked, "What are you doing when you keep staring at me? Is there anything dirty on my face?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ci took back his gaze lightly: "No."

He just wanted to ask, if I don’t come, are you going to not contact me?

However, when the words came to my mouth, I couldn't say them.

Xu Qiaoqiao noticed something was wrong with Mu Ci, but she didn't know what was wrong, so she simply stopped talking.

The two fell into a strange silence.

But the atmosphere was not cold for too long. After Xu Qiaoqiao finished eating the apples in his hand, Mu Ci picked up a royal blue thermos cup from the bedside table next to him, opened the lid, and the smell of health porridge floated out, instantly filling the entire ward.

Xu Qiaoqiao couldn't help swallowing when she smelled this smell.

She has been busy since she started work and has not had time to eat lunch.

In addition, she is now a pregnant woman and is more hungry than ordinary people. However, she doesn't notice it when she is busy. At this time, she naturally has no way to continue to endure when she smells the food.

Mu Ci saw Xu Qiaoqiao's enthusiasm, sat beside her, dug a small spoon with a spoon, and gently touched the temperature of the spoon with his mouth. Seeing that the temperature was just right, he fed it to Xu Qiaoqiao's mouth.

Xu Qiaoqiao blushed and refused to speak for a long time.

Mu Ci raised his eyebrows unhappily and silently asked her why she didn't open her mouth.

"I can eat it myself..." Xu Qiaoqiao said in a low voice.

She is so old that she is not disabled and doesn't need others to feed her.

Thinking of being fed by Mu Ci like a baby, she inexplicably felt that the scene was too shameful.

Mu Ci saw her shyness, but was not ready to agree to her.

"Open your mouth." He forced the spoon to Xu Qiaoqiao's mouth, as if she refused to eat obediently, so he would not take his hands away.

The two of them had been in a stalemate for two minutes, but Mu Ci's arm could not see any fatigue at all, and they remained in their original position, and had not even changed their position.

In the end, Xu Qiaoqiao was defeated, and she opened her mouth to accept her fate, allowing Mu Ci to feed her.

The porridge tasted so delicious, and she was really hungry, so soon she ate a bowl of porridge.

Mu Ci handed over the paper, and Xu Qiaoqiao took it and wiped his mouth clean.

I don’t know if it was because she had been sitting for a long time, but she felt a burst of pain coming from her lower back.

When Mu Ci threw away the napkin and turned around, he happened to see Xu Qiaoqiao holding his waist with pain on his face.

He felt tight and immediately held Xu Qiaoqiao's thin shoulders, with an unconcealable anxiety in his tone: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Xu Qiaoqiao frowned and shook her head, and uttered two words from her mouth with difficulty: "The waist is sore."

Only then did Mu Ci remember that pregnant women will easily feel sore after sitting for a long time.

"If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me." He carefully supported Xu Qiaoqiao and lay down. When he saw that her expression was slightly relieved, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, the door was knocked on by someone, and Xu Qiaoqiao's attending doctor pushed the door open and entered.

"The patient is in good condition and can be discharged from the hospital, but it should be noted that you must rest at home in the future and do not work hard again." The doctor quickly wrote down something on the paper, and then handed the paper to Mu Ci's hands.

Mu Ci looked down and saw a piece of paper with the names of various medicines written on it.

He was inexplicably nervous, but his face remained calm as usual.

He asked worriedly: "What is she going to faint?"

"The patient will faint, mainly because she is too tired during this period and her body has exceeded the load." The doctor did not recognize the two of them, so he walked up to Mu Ci and looked at him with condemnation: "Your wife is pregnant. As a husband, you should take good care of her, instead of letting her be so tired every day. If this continues, something will happen sooner or later."

After hearing the doctor's words, Xu Qiaoqiao opened her mouth wide in surprise.

What is he talking about?

They are not husband and wife.

"Doctor, we are not..." Xu Qiaoqiao was about to correct the doctor's words.

However, before she finished speaking, Mu Ci interrupted her directly: "Okay doctor, I will pay attention in the future and will not let her be so tired again."

If Qin Yun was here, he would have been surprised to see that his president was criticized and had such a good attitude.

Seeing that Mu Ci's attitude was quite sincere, the doctor snorted coldly, explained some things again, and left the ward.

Xu Qiaoqiao and Mu Ci were left in the ward.

Thinking that the doctor misunderstood their relationship just now, Xu Qiaoqiao felt a little embarrassed, so she kept lowering her head and not daring to look at him.

Mu Ci walked to the bed, looked at Xu Qiaoqiao, who was like an ostrich, and had a smile on his lips.

But when he sat down, the smile quickly disappeared.

He looked at Xu Qiaoqiao seriously and said, "You also heard that the doctor said you fainted because of too much fatigue."

Xu Qiaoqiao looked at Mu Ci, a little confused, not understanding what he suddenly said about it.

When he met Xu Qiaoqiao's puzzled gaze, Mu Ci pursed his mouth slightly, and the displeasure in his eyes could tell that he was in a bad mood at this time.

Xu Qiaoqiao was very familiar with Mu Ci, so she naturally knew that he was not very happy now, but she didn't know where she angered Mu Ci, so she didn't know how to speak.

Seeing this, Mu Ci sighed heavily and took the lead in breaking the calm: "Since the doctor said that your body is not suitable for you to continue to work harder, then for the sake of your child and for yourself, should you consider putting your work aside first and focusing on keeping your fetus?"

Xu Qiaoqiao frowned unhappily.

She didn't expect that Mu Ci came to tell her about his resignation again.

Mu Ci looked at Xu Qiaoqiao's resistance and knew that she was definitely unwilling to do so.

But her current situation no longer allows her to continue to be willful like this.

Thinking of this, Mu Ci frowned and his tone became a little heavier: "Are you unwilling to quit? Do you love your job so much? Do you love the island and you can even ignore the children in your belly? Are you a responsible mother?"

These words were stalked into Xu Qiaoqiao's heart. She looked at Mu Ci in disbelief, not quite understanding why he suddenly said such mean words.

Mu Ci also realized that he was speaking too heavily, but he was indeed angry by Xu Qiaoqiao's attitude just now.
