The atmosphere in the car became slightly stiff right after Zhao Youlin asked that question. It was after a long time before Mu Tingfeng uttered a sentence in a hesitant manner, “It is possible.”

“It is possible?” Zhao Youlin was slightly stunned, obviously not satisfied with Mu Tingfeng’s answer.

Mu Tingfeng heaved a sigh and explained, “Uncle, Aunt and Jifeng were actually quite surprised as well when they heard about this. They asked around and tried to get a clear answer from her a few times. Unfortunately, Xiao Qi had been tight-lipped. Every time they asked her, she just said in a mysterious manner that they would know when she brought the man home in the future.”

Having said that, Mu Tingfeng could not help but frown a little. When he thought back about how shy and happy Su He looked like when she said that, and how moribund and lifeless she was when she was in the hospital, even he himself could not help but want to beat Ye Yan up for good, let alone Su Jifeng, who had been treating Xiao Qi as the apple of his eye.

Zhao Youlin did not say anything. The smile on her face had completely faded away, replaced by a grave expression. She was obviously thinking about the same thing as Mu Tingfeng.

“Xiao Qi has given her heart away to someone a long time ago, and that is not a secret among the elders in the Su family and us cousins. The reason that I guessed that someone is Ye Yan is because Ye Yan took the initiative to approach me at the banquet that day.”

Zhao Youlin was a little stunned. She suddenly remembered that Ye Yan had taken the initiative to approach Mu Tingfeng that day and asked to speak alone with him. “What did he say to you at that time?”

Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flickered slightly, and his voice unwittingly deepened a little. “He told me that he had forgotten everything that happened before he was 15 years old after he recovered from a serious illness.”

Zhao Youlin’s expression drastically changed. “He has forgotten about Xiao He?”

Mu Tingfeng nodded solemnly. “He has forgotten everything about Xiao Qi.”

Mu Tingfeng would not have thought that Ye Yan could be the man if he did not have the vaguest of memories of how Ye Yan looked when he was young, and Ye Yan happened to keep a photo of his young self, plus Su He’s attitude toward Ye Yan was really different.

Upon hearing that, Zhao Youlin did not say anything else for quite some time. She inhaled a few times deeply and said coldly, “He has forgotten about Xiao He, yet Xiao He still keeps him in her heart. And now, she…”

Zhao Youlin paused. It was as if she suddenly realized something, she looked up at Mu Tingfeng and said in a slightly surprised manner, “You told me before that Xiao He didn’t volunteer to be my secretary in order to help you. Could it be that… she had approached me in the first place to…”

Mu Tingfeng did not answer her. Even so, Zhao Youlin knew that not denying was this man’s way of admitting it indirectly.

Zhao Youlin had to say that Su He had worked out a good plan. Ye Yan was competing against Mu Tingfeng to win Zhao Youlin’s heart at that time. As long as she stayed beside Zhao Youlin, Ye Yan would come to her eventually.

Though unfortunately, something had happened to Ye Yan’s grandfather at that time. The upheavals in the Ye family’s company had gotten all of Ye Yan’s attention, and he had his hands full dealing with it. Otherwise, he and Su He would have hooked up already.

Under usual circumstances, hearing that she had been taken advantage of, Zhao Youlin would have been mad. However, at this moment, she could not get mad at all. Rather, she felt a sense of discomfort in her heart, but it was not for herself; it was for Su He.

What kind of love would be so intense that it made a girl go out of her way to approach someone in such a careful manner after parting for so many years, even though she had to force herself to work for her “love rival” and watch the man she had loved for over a decade to sweet-talk another woman while using words that were supposed to be meant for her?

Zhao Youlin asked herself and knew she could not do such a thing. No matter how much she loved a man, there was no way she could do this.

“Xiao He must have gotten a little tired of it, right?” Otherwise, she would not have started avoiding Ye Yan. However…

“Tell me, does Xiao He still… have feelings for Ye Yan?” Zhao Youlin looked into Mu Tingfeng’s eyes and subconsciously asked.

Mu Tingfeng was silent for a moment. After a little pause, he answered in a deep voice, “Maybe.”

If she did not have feelings for him, why would she want to mother a child of a man who had forgotten about her, about their past, and their promise to each other?

Zhao Youlin understood that too, of course. That was why she felt more sorry for Su He. She knew it well that it was not entirely Ye Yan’s fault, though she still could not help but resent him a little, because it was too hard for the other person.

“Let’s visit Xiao He together tomorrow.” After a long silence, Zhao Youlin opened her mouth and suggested.

The response she got was Mu Tingfeng’s warm hands, which interlocked with her hands.

On the other side, Su He’s eyes were stung by the bright white light when she had just woken up. The pungent smell of disinfectant filled her nostrils intrusively at that moment.

Before Su He completely regained her consciousness under the bright white light, a familiar voice with a slightly morose tone came from beside her. “You are awake?”

Su He turned her head reflectively to look at the direction of the voice, and she saw Su Jifeng’s sullen, handsome, emotionless face. With a clueless expression, she said, “Jifeng, what are you doing here? What is this place?”

Her voice was much hoarser than usual, due to her thirst. After she asked the two questions, Su He’s mind cleared up. She opened her eyes wide and stared in disbelief at Su Jifeng and the strange room.

The memory which she had forgotten temporarily because of the pain rushed back into her head at this moment. She recalled that she was still working in the office. Then, she ran into Mu Tingfeng’s secretary. After a quick chat with her, Ye Yan came to see her and they had a conversation. After they parted in discord, she met a woman who always came to seek trouble, and that woman hit her. And then, she started to bleed profusely.

Blood… Yes, blood!

Su He sat up abruptly in bed and touched her stomach in panic, anxiously wanting to confirm if the baby was still in there.

Her palm lowered carefully to her stomach. She finally heaved a sigh in relief after she touched the little bulge on her stomach.

After Su He lifted the great concern off her mind, Su He could finally divide her attention to the person beside her. Even so, Su He once again was stupefied after she looked at him.

How could she forget that her brother was still standing beside her? And she had still touched her stomach in such a blatant way! It was no different from telling him that she was pregnant.

“Don’t worry. That vile… The baby is still safe. You just bled a little. The position of the fetus is unstable. You need to be careful for a period of time. You need recuperation.”

Su Jifeng was still mad, so his words might be a little bit harsh.

In fact, he was going to say “vile spawn”, but on second thought, that baby had his sister’s blood running in its veins as well, no matter what.. He would have insulted his sister as well if he called it a vile spawn.
