The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

However, as a heavily pregnant woman, she experienced some inconvenience in her movements.

Hearing the crisp snapping sound, Mengmeng frantically checked on Nan Yuan'er, "Auntie, are you alright?"

"What's wrong? Is your stomach hurting?" Gu Jingsi rushed forward and held Nan Yuan'er's arm with concern.

"Ouch~" Nan Yuan'er instinctively tried to avoid Gu Jingsi's touch.

Gu Jingsi panicked immediately, "Yuan'er?"

"Uncle, Aunt seems to have sprained her arm." Mengmeng looked at Nan Yuan'er, whose arm had been hanging in mid-air ever since she caught her, and whose complexion was not good.

Gu Jingsi glanced at Mengmeng, then looked at Nan Yuan'er uncertainly, "Is it as Mengmeng said?"

Nan Yuan'er nodded.

She kept adjusting her arm, trying to twist the twisted part back into place.

"Don't move yet." Gu Jingsi put his hands behind Nan Yuan'er's back and led her to the bed at the back.

Mengmeng quickly followed, then squatted worriedly beside the bed, "Auntie~"

It's all her fault, she was so heavy, it made my aunt's arm hurt.

Her large, bell-like eyes were watery, and her fingers pressed and tugged at the sheets along the edge of the bed helplessly.

After resting for so long, Nan Yuan'er moved her arm and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Really?" Gu Jingsi was still worried. "Shi Yu, go call the family doctor and tell him to come over now."

"No need," Nan Yuan'er grabbed Gu Jingsi's hand to stop him. "I just twisted my ankle, but it's better now and it doesn't hurt anymore."

"That won't work either." Gu Jingsi ignored her words and took out his phone from his pocket, tossing it to Gu Shiyu. "Call Xie Beiling."

"Jing Si, there's no need for that. My hand can move now, I don't need to see a doctor." Nan Yuan'er raised her voice, clearly resistant to seeing a doctor.

She always said what she wanted, but when it came to her physical condition, Gu Jingsi wouldn't let it go.

He took his phone back, stepped back, and started dialing Xie Beiling's number.

buzzing~

The phone on the coffee table kept vibrating. Xie Yumin, sitting on the sofa, listened to the sound and looked down at the caller ID on the screen.

"Brother Beiling~" Xie Yumin turned her head and called out to the kitchen.

Xie Beiling was focused on preparing dinner in the kitchen, the sound of the range hood filling his ears, and he did not hear Xie Yumin calling him.

Receiving no response, Xie Yumin took her phone and walked towards the kitchen.

Through the glass, Xie Beiling saw Xie Yumin standing outside the kitchen door and immediately smiled at her, "Are you hungry? It'll be ready soon."

Xie Yumin opened the door and handed him her phone. "No, it's your phone that's ringing."

The call ended automatically after the words were spoken, as the call had not been answered for a long time.

Unable to free his hands, Xie Beiling asked, "Did you see who called?"

"The note says Gu Jingsi," Xie Yumin said.

"Why did he suddenly call me?" Xie Beiling asked, puzzled.

Just as I was pondering this, the phone was dialed again.

"Do you need me to help you answer it?" Xie Yumin asked.

With his hands covered in oil, Xie Beiling readily agreed to Xie Yumin's offer of help, saying, "Okay."

Xie Yumin stood beside Xie Beiling, holding the phone.

"Come to the Gu family now," Gu Jingsi ordered over the phone.

Xie Beiling, holding the seasonings, stared intently at the food in the pot. "You're back in China?"

"Stop with the nonsense and come over here right now," Gu Jingsi urged impatiently.

Xie Beiling glanced at Xie Yumin, then wiped his hands on his apron, took the phone, and turned off the stove. "What's the rush? I have something to do here and can't leave right now."

"It's about my wife," Gu Jingsi said. "You should put your own business aside and come over as soon as possible."

He had just finished making dinner, and was about to have a cozy dinner with Xie Yumin. But Xie Beiling wasn't about to comply with his request; he just called without explaining anything.

"I don't have time," Xie Beiling refused. "If you're not feeling well, take your wife to the hospital. If it gets really bad, call an ambulance."

After saying that, he decisively hung up the phone.

Xie Yumin watched him casually toss his phone onto the table. "Are you really not going?"

"Hmm, I'm not going." Xie Beiling took a plate out of the cupboard and scooped the food out of the pot.

He looked at Xie Yumin standing beside him, seemingly hesitant to speak, and explained, "The fact that he called me means it's not serious. Okay, don't think about it anymore. Go wash your hands and get ready to eat."

Xie Beiling carried the plate out of the kitchen.

Watching his retreating figure, Xie Yumin wanted to offer some advice, but felt she had no right to do so.

After all, the two of them are neither relatives nor lovers. In terms of their relationship, she is just a homeless person who has nowhere else to go and is temporarily staying at his house.

As I left the kitchen, my phone, which had been lying on the table, rang again. But no one noticed.

Gu Zhai.

"I'll definitely teach Xie Beiling a lesson when I see him!" Gu Jingsi muttered angrily.

Seeing that he was saying whatever came to mind in front of the child, Nan Yuan'er angrily scolded him, "Jing Si, watch your words!"

Sensing Nan Yuan'er's displeasure, Gu Jingsi quickly returned to her side in a fawning manner, "Wife, shall we go to the hospital now?"

Ever since she became pregnant, Gu Jingsi would make a big deal out of even the slightest discomfort she felt, exaggerating her problems.

"I'm not going." Nan Yuan'er lifted the blanket and lay down to rest.

She seems to be alright.

Gu Shiyu took Mengmeng's hand and politely said to Nan Yuan'er, "Auntie, you should rest well. I'll take Mengmeng and head out first."

"Okay, you two should get some rest too. Do you have to go to school tomorrow?"

"Yes."

Goodnight, Auntie!

Goodnight, Mengmeng.

After saying goodbye, Gu Shiyu quickly pulled Mengmeng out of their room.

Gu Jingsi, preoccupied with Nan Yuan'er's health, couldn't care less about leaving Mengmeng to rest there.

He leaned halfway against the bed, his face full of frustration, and asked, "Honey, does it really not hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Nan Yuan'er sat up and looked at Gu Jingsi with a serious expression. "What's wrong with you today? You've been arguing with Shi Yu ever since we finished eating. He's your nephew, and he's still a child."

"Wife." Gu Jingsi leaned halfway against the edge of the bed, holding Nan Yuan'er's hand earnestly. "Do you like Mengmeng?"

"Of course I like it!" Nan Yuan'er replied excitedly.

Without Mengmeng, she wouldn't have realized that Gu Jingsi was acting strangely, nor would she have understood that family is more important than career. And it's precisely because of Mengmeng that she's about to become a mother.
