Haicheng, Xiangjiang Emperor View No. 8.

Pain——

A tearing pain swept through me, spreading to every limb and bone.

Mu Qian held the man's arm tightly with both hands, her nails digging deep into his skin, oozing a viscous fluid. However, he seemed oblivious to the pain, only forcefully pounding against her slender frame.

Broke through that thin barrier.

"Please... sir, could you please slow... down a little...? I..."

Though the word "pain" remained unspoken, Mu Qian endured it with gritted teeth. Tears welled in her eyes from the agony, but she dared not struggle.

The man remained silent and motionless.

Between his breaths lingered a unique masculine scent, but Mu Qian couldn't see his face, nor did she know who he was.

The first heart-wrenching pain made Mu Qian unable to bear it any longer, tears silently streaming down her face.

It seemed to have sensed that she was crying, and his interest waned. The man finished things hastily and got up coldly, going directly to the bathroom.

Bang—

The bathroom door closed, and the sound of running water could be heard inside.

In the darkness, Mu Qian clutched the quilt around herself, trembling in pain.

A month ago, my stepmother's son suddenly fainted from pain. He went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with kidney cancer, requiring urgent surgery, and the medical expenses are obviously high.

...she was adopted and found this man to be her surrogate father.

I was only able to do a very thorough job because of the other party's status. I went to a remote villa blindfolded, with the lights off and heavy curtains drawn. I had no idea who the other party was.

Creak—

>Within ten minutes, the man pulled open the door and walked out of the bathroom.

"Sir, about that money..."

Mu Qian endured the pain and finished dressing. She sat beside the bed and asked softly.

"Haven't you left yet?" The man thought he had left. After a moment of silence, he said, "You don't have to come again in the future. If you're afraid of pain, don't force yourself."

"No, don't. I really need this money."

Upon hearing the man say he didn't need her anymore, Mu Qian was so frightened that her face turned pale. Leaning on the faint light, she endured the pain and rushed towards the man, grabbing his hand. "This is just the first time, it won't hurt afterward, I... I can bear it. Can you give me another chance?"

Caught by the wrist, the man stiffened visibly.

Although I couldn't see the man's expression, Mu Qian clearly felt the atmosphere suddenly turn frigid, a chill running down her spine.

"Sorry, sir..."

Mu Qian lightly pursed her lips, immediately pulled back, and distanced herself from him.

During the time of entangling and lingering, men never once showed any, just a simple, straightforward rush. Besides placing their hands over their waist and abdomen, there was no other touch.

It's obvious that he has obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness.

The man casually picked up the suit jacket and pulled out a check from his pocket, handing it to her. "This is one million dollars. After you're finished, I'll give you another million."

"Thank you."

Holding that thin check in her hand, it felt as light as a feather, yet like a heavy lead weight pressing down on Mu Qian's chest, suffocating her.

A heart that was hanging also let out a sigh of relief.

My brother's medical expenses have been settled.

"A win-win situation for all." The man's words were cold and emotionless, he didn't acknowledge Mu Qian's thanks. He walked toward his hat, not forgetting to say, "Let Zhong Shu send you back. Come back after a month when you ovulate."

"Mm." With a slight nod, she turned and left.

Before coming here, Mu Qian had already undergone all the necessary checks at the hospital, and today is also the last day of her ovulation period. Otherwise, she might have to stay here for a week.

After all, the ovulation period has the highest pregnancy rate.

……

Haicheng, Central Hospital.

"You ungrateful wretch, you dare show your face? Your brother is about to die, and you just stand there, indifferent. Where do you get the nerve to live? If it weren't for me finding you in the field all those years ago, you would have died decades sooner."

As soon as Stepmother Tian Guifen saw An Mo approaching, she walked forward and slapped him on the cheek.

That palm strike was filled with power, landing forcefully on de's cheek.

Slap—

A sharp sound echoed down the hallway.

Mu Qian's face instantly swelled up, and the corner of her mouth oozed with a trace.

Staggered two steps and leaned against the wall to steady himself.

Facing her, he pulled a smirk at the corner of his lips, "Mom, this is my last 'Mom'. I…"

"Who's your mother? I'm not your mother!" Tian Guifen raised her hand and slapped again.

Mu Qian raised her hand to grasp his wrist, lowering her eyes, "Mom, you saved my life, and I'll never forget it. But for all these years, I haven't owed your family anything. I earned my tuition myself, even selling things to pay for your own son's tuition."

"Pass gas!"

<>

Mù Qián seemed about to be amused, but her tone remained calm. “Do you really think I don’t know that you used the money my brother gave you to gamble?”

Take a deep breath, fished out a check from my pocket, and said, "Talking so much doesn't mean anything. Take this money to pay for my brother's medical treatment. You saved my life back then, now, I'm returning the favor. From now on, we owe each other nothing."

Mu Qian originally wanted to go into the ward to see her brother, but seeing Tian Gui Fen's hateful face, she turned away after all.

From now on, I won't have any contact with them anymore, so why bother clinging on?

One month later.

Before going to the employer's house, I found that my period was still delayed. So I bought a pregnancy test, and you know what? It came back positive with two lines!

"Pregnant? So soon?"

Mu Qian was quite surprised, so she bought three more pregnancy tests. The results were all double lines!

I'm pregnant!

When the housekeeper, Zhong Shu, came to pick her up, Mu Qian told him about her situation.

Uncle Zhong took her to the hospital for a check-up and confirmed she was pregnant.

After that, I was taken to a villa. Because the employer's identity was special and required protection, no electronic devices were allowed, which directly resulted in being cut off from the outside world.

But the child's father has never appeared.

He was then waited on by two servants, living a comfortable yet lonely life.

Mu Qian did not relax, and during her pregnancy, she continued to study legal books.

During that time, Mu Qian urged Zhong Shu to take her to the hospital to secretly visit her brother, Mu Yan Ming. Mu Yan Ming was doing well because he had found a matching kidney donor and his surgery had progressed smoothly.

Then Mu Qian was relieved.

Time flies, and stars shift.

Nine months have passed quietly.

High-end private hospital.

“Ouch… it hurts, it hurts…”

In the delivery room, Mu Qian cried out in pain that couldn't be endured. Her whole body was drenched in sweat, and her small face was pale with agony.

It has been ten hours since labor started, but the baby hasn't arrived yet.

When I first signed the contract with the employer, it stipulated that I had to give birth under any circumstances.
