Handsome CEO's Darling Wife

Mu Lan pondered deeply when she was in the clinic. In Saudi Arabia and Africa, though she didn't take any medicine, Pedro told her that since she was taking medicine for the headache after she regained her memory, her period stopped for the time being. As a result, she couldn't be pregnant at that time. However, after she came back to Italy, her menstrual cycle regularly happened and she didn't think about it up until today.

After their marriage, they have done it multiple times and she never took medicine. After she was locked up, she forgot that she never had a period. But two months later, after smelling some drug, she bled and because of the pain in her abdomen, she thought that it was menstrual cramps. But the bleeding stopped two days later. She wasn't bleeding anymore and there were no cramps. And she was sleeping more than she usually slept and her appetite also increased.

The thing she was most worried about was her bleeding after smelling the drug. She was hoping that she wouldn't miscarriage because of it. That's why she hurriedly contacted Shintaro.

When Shintaro heard her saying, "I'm pregnant," he was silent for a whole five minutes.

Mu Lan frowned and asked, "Are you there, Shin?"

Shintaro felt that his head was buzzing for some reason. He mumbled, "I-I am… but are you serious?!" He couldn't help but scream in the end.

Mu Lan looked at her cell phone in puzzlement. 'Is he that upset that I am pregnant?' She wondered.

Shintaro was in Jamaica. He wasn't alone. Kilimanjaro, Antonio and Mark were there with him. When they heard him screaming, they came into his room and asked, "What's going on?"

"Why are you screaming?"

"What happened? Is it bad news?"

Kilimanjaro who had the power to hear anything within ten miles replied, "It's little princess, isn't it?" He didn't hear what Mu Lan said that but he heard Shintaro saying 'princess' multiple times.

Shintaro looked at them and said, "She… she is saying that she is pregnant."

"What?!" The three of them exclaimed altogether. They all seemed surprised.

Mu Lan continued saying, "When Li Sheng took me, he drugged me and I bled…. I don't want to think anything bad but I don't want miscarriage." She was scared of losing her child.

Shintaro screamed again, "What?! Bleeding! Miscarriage! I will send Pedro right away!!" He hung up and dialed Pedro's number.

Pedro was in London for a mission and didn't sleep for two days. He was in a deep sleep at that time. When Shintaro called him, he woke up from his beauty sleep. Afterwards, he answered the call and said in a low tone, "Shin, if this isn't anything important, I will kill you-"

He wasn't able to finish his sentence before Shintaro screamed, "Pedro, this is serious! Princess is dying!"

Pedro didn't need to guess who the princess was. His ears were buzzing as Shintaro spoke loudly. But his sleepiness went away in a flash after he heard about Mu Lan. He sat up straight and asked, "What did you say? Where is she?"

He knew that she was in China and she was locked up by Li Sheng. However, he couldn't think of any way of those mere humans hurting her; unless it was The Mongoose.

Shintaro spoke urgently, "She is on the island where General Ru was executed."

"I got it. I will go there right away." Pedro hung up and immediately started packing his bag. His heart was racing in fear. He was so nervous that he didn't ask Shintaro anything else.

Meanwhile, Mark asked Shintaro, "Hey Shin, why did you lie to him? What if he misunderstood?"

Shintaro asked him back, "How can you be so cold hearted? Princess is hurt. She said that she had a miscarriage."

Mark calmly said, "I know but you should have said that she had a miscarriage, not she was dying."

Shintaro gave his reason, "It will make Pedro go there faster."

Mark was speechless. Pedro would run to her regardless of what the cause was. He felt bad for Pedro.

On the other side, Mu Lan was indeed scared but Shintaro's overwhelming emotion was on the other level. She blinked and thought, 'I did want to say that I want Pedro to come for check-up as I'm not sure whether I'm pregnant or not, but well, I guess it's fine.'

She walked in the corridor and looked for the living room. There was a television. She was too bored to do anything. It would be better if she watched the news.

There were large windows in the corridor and she could see the blue sea. 'Maybe I should do some finishing.' She thought. She was about to go there when Ru Xin called her from behind, "Little Lan, what are you doing running around? You should go to bed and take some rest."

Mu Lan halted and thought, 'Should I tell him and I'm pregnant? It would be better if I keep it a secret for now. I'm still not even sure if I'm pregnant or not. What am I thinking right now?' She smiled and said, "I want to catch some fish."

Ru Xin said, "So, you want to eat fish for lunch. Alright, I will catch some for you."

Mu Lan saw that he misunderstood, so she corrected her words. "It's not that. I'm bored and that's why I want to catch fish." Saying that she coughed.

Ru Xin worriedly said, "But you are coughing. Do you want to drink more medicine or should I make some tea for you?"

"Tea is fine by me." Mu Lan didn't want to take another medicine before confirming her pregnancy.

"Please go back to your room. Roaming around won't be good for your health. I'm going to the kitchen." Ru Xin went to the kitchen and prepared tea for her. This time, he used mink and basil leaves rather than lemon and honey. He thought it would be good for her lungs.

He was taking the kettle and a cup to Mu Lan's room when someone broke the window of the corridor and before he could react, his neck was grasped tightly by a stranger. The stranger asked in a chilling voice, "Where is Xiao Lan?"
