My fingers holding the water glass trembled violently, and the glass fell onto the table, and the water leaked out. I frantically looked for a tissue.

At this moment, Ji Mu took a tissue, stood up and stood beside me, helping me catch the water that was about to fall onto my skirt.

Li Ruowei walked over, and the next second, she screamed, "Oh my God...how come your belly is bigger than mine?"

Li Ruowei's words made me feel embarrassed. Indeed, Li Ruowei was also pregnant, but her belly was obviously not as big as mine.

Li Ruowei was shocked on the spot, and then she rushed over quickly. Even her pregnant belly did not slow her steps.

She grabbed my arm and asked in surprise, "Jingjing, the baby you are pregnant with is Beicheng's, right?"

Her words almost made me lose my balance. I looked at Ji Mu anxiously, breathing rapidly.

"No...no." I was tongue-tied and didn't know how to argue.

"If it's not from Beicheng, then whose could it be? Judging by the time..."

"It's mine." A deep male voice came from behind me.

Li Ruowei and I were both shocked, especially me. At that moment, I was too ashamed to look at Ji Mu's expression.

"Yours?" Li Ruowei opened her mouth wide in surprise. "Who are you? When did you meet Jingjing?"

Ji Mu was not in a hurry and said calmly: "We were together before the New Year. The child is now five months and nine days old. Is there any problem?"

My mind exploded. I remembered that Ji Mu had seen my pregnancy test report before, which indicated the number of days. So, when Ji Mu said this, I was also shocked. His memory and arithmetic skills are too good.

Li Ruowei's expression suddenly darkened. She looked at me as if she didn't recognize me. "Jingjing, how...how come you have so many boyfriends? What's with Beicheng? What's wrong with you?"

I saw that Li Ruowei was very disappointed in me, and I felt guilty inside. She treated me as a friend, but I... was like a female sea king, with a pond full of fish in my pond.

"I'm sorry, Ruowei, there are many things I can't explain to you clearly." I bit my lower lip. At this moment, I felt helpless and even anxious.

Li Ruowei loosened her grip on me, her voice growing colder. "Okay, I won't disturb you and your boyfriend from having dinner."

After saying that, Li Ruowei turned around and left. Not far away, several noble men and women were waiting for her. Then, their figures disappeared outside the restaurant door.

Li Ruowei disappeared, and I was left gasping for breath. I turned to look at Ji Mu and said gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor Ji, thank you for helping me out."

Ji Mu's expression was calm: "I'm sorry, I offended you. I shouldn't have said that just now."

I shook my head, my expression bitter. "No, you saved me. If you hadn't said that just now, I might... I might not have been able to keep these two children."

"Will Su Beicheng ask you to defeat them?" Ji Mu asked in shock.

"It's possible." I looked uneasy. "Even if he won't, his parents definitely won't let me give birth to these two children. Doctor Ji, thank you so much. It's just...will your helping me affect your reputation?"

"It's okay." Ji Mu's expression was calm: "I can make my own decisions about my own affairs. No one can interfere with me."

This sentence made me feel a little relieved, but I was still worried about Li Ruowei. I was afraid that she would tell Su Beicheng about my pregnancy. Would she?

Or maybe she thought I was a philandering woman and she felt that I was no longer worthy of Su Beicheng. Besides, since Su Beicheng was getting married now, she would definitely not say anything nonsense.

Once she tells Su Beicheng about her suspicions, it may affect his wedding, and the Su family will be in chaos. Li Ruowei is a good woman who knows how to consider the overall situation, and she may keep this matter secret.

Hopefully, my guess is correct.

After finishing the meal, I was absent-minded, but Ji Mu looked calm and comforted me: "Okay, don't let your thoughts run wild. Take good care of your baby. I have a few doctor friends here. I'll give you their contact information. If you encounter any difficulties, you can ask them for help."

"Doctor Ji." At this moment, my gratitude towards him has risen to a new level. I feel that he has done things that even his close friend may not be able to do.

Ji Mu was stunned for a moment and looked at me.

"How can I thank you? I actually don't have many friends, and you are one of them. But what you do may not even be done by my friends." As I spoke, tears welled up in my eyes. If Ji Mu hadn't been here just now, facing Li Ruowei's questions one by one, I might have told everything in a panic.

It was Ji Mu who calmed down all my panic and anxiety.

When Ji Mu saw me crying, his eyes darkened a little, and then he smiled and said, "Don't you know that there is no such thing as pure friendship between adults? Many things can only be done in the name of friends. Otherwise... if you cross the line, it won't be good for anyone."

I was stunned. I understood what he said in just one second.

Ji Mu then smiled faintly and said, "I can only care about you as a friend. Apart from this, I can't find a better identity. Of course, you don't need to be too moved. How do you know that I don't have other purposes or thoughts in my heart?"

My heart was pounding. I didn't expect that Ji Mu would like me. Moreover, his liking was very restrained and polite.

"Doctor Ji, I..." I wanted to say something, but my mind was blank.

"Okay, stop talking. It's enough as long as we both know what's going on. Please rest assured, I really wanted to help you just now. I have no other ideas." Ji Mu was afraid that I would have wild thoughts, so he made it clear again.

"Okay, I won't think too much. I'm very lucky to have such a friend." I said sincerely.

"Well, then you go back first. My flight is this afternoon. Keep these three business cards." Ji Mu said, handing over the business cards: "Jingjing, you are a person who makes people want to pity you the moment they see you. How strange."

I stood on the side of the road, watching Ji Mu bend down and get into a car, thinking about his last words, and I didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

I don’t know what men look like when they see me for the first time. Do I really give people the feeling that they need to be protected?

This shouldn't be the case. I obviously like to show off my strength and be stubborn, so why do people think I need pity?

I can only say that when a man sees a beautiful woman, he wants to give her a home. But maybe I pretended to be too good, making them think that I could be taken home and be a good wife.

I hailed a car and returned to the company. It was already past three in the afternoon. I took the documents in and asked Zhou Minghe to sign them.

Zhou Minghe didn't even raise his head, staring at the documents in his hand, and asked me: "Where did you go at noon?"
