Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1573: 1572 Would rather be hurt oneself

Hearing Dad An’s words, a strange expression appeared on Mother Qin’s face.

Obviously, she also thought of how An Lin is now carrying the Qin family’s child, and that Ah Mu protecting her is only right.

She explained somewhat stiffly, “An Lin, I didn’t mean to blame you just now.”

“Mom, please don’t say anything, I understand it all.”

An Lin hurriedly interrupted Mother Qin.

Mother Qin is not bad, she has been very good to her since childhood, and An Lin knows this better than anyone.

In regard to Ah Mu’s injury, she could understand that Mother Qin might have some concerns about her.

“It’s not a solution for everyone to wait here. How about if you all go for lunch first, and I’ll stay here with Ah Feng. As soon as the surgery is over, I’ll call you.”

Mo Xiuchen came from the hallway and said to Father Qin and Dad An.

Luo Haofeng also chimed in, “Uncle Qin, Uncle An, you should all go back to the hotel for lunch. By the time you finish eating and return, Ah Mu will be out of surgery.”

“That makes sense. We can’t do anything by waiting here, and having too many people could be disruptive.”

As soon as Father Qin finished his words, Mother Qin shook her head in refusal, “I don’t want to leave, I won’t be at ease until I see my son’s surgery is successful.”

“With Director Gu present, Ah Mu will be fine.”

“Auntie, don’t worry, my dad will definitely ensure Ah Mu’s safety,” Wen Ran hesitated for a moment and stepped forward to reassure Mother Qin.

She glanced at An Lin beside her and added, “An Lin is pregnant now, and if you don’t eat, she definitely won’t want to eat either, which wouldn’t be good for the baby.”

Mother Qin looked at An Lin’s flat belly, “An Lin, you’re three months along now, right? Why hasn’t your belly changed? Why not take this opportunity at the hospital to get a check-up to see if the fetus is healthy.”

Previously, when Mother Qin suggested An Lin get an examination, both she and Qin Mu always postponed it.

Last time when they returned to A City, they hadn’t had a check-up either.

Mother Qin only knew from Qin Mu that An Lin was pregnant, but hadn’t seen any actual evidence.

“Mom, I had a check-up here before, the baby is very healthy. If you’re still worried, wait until Ah Mu wakes up, and I’ll get an ultrasound.”

“Ranran is right, An Lin is pregnant; she can’t skip meals.” Father Qin patted Mother Qin and then called out to Dad An and Mom An.

“Ranran, you and Ah Jin accompany your uncles and aunts back to the hotel, and call me if there’s any update.”

Mo Xiuchen and Luo Haofeng stayed behind, while Wen Jin, Wen Ran, and Jing Xiaocha all left Kangning Hospital together.

Because she wanted to be considerate of Mother Qin, An Lin forced herself to eat a little bit.

Maybe it was because she had no appetite, or maybe she was too worried about Qin Mu, but as soon as she set down her chopsticks, her stomach churned, and she rushed to the washroom.

“An Lin, be careful underfoot.”

Seeing An Lin run away in discomfort, knowing it was morning sickness, Wen Ran followed her to the washroom.

Jing Xiaocha invited Mother Qin and Mom An to eat.

Mother Qin looked worriedly towards the washroom, “This child, An Lin, why does she vomit after eating just a little bit?”

“She was like this last time when she came home too.”

Mom An sighed, a look of distress in her eyes.

“An Lin, are you okay?”

In the washroom, after seeing An Lin vomit and rinse her mouth, Wen Ran handed her a tissue.

An Lin accepted the tissue to wipe her mouth, looking a little pale from the nausea.

She shook her head, her voice showing slight exhaustion, “I’m fine, just very nauseous.”

“Is it like this every day?”

Wen Ran’s brows furrowed in concern; if this continued, it wouldn’t be good for her health.

“No, although I often don’t have much appetite, I don’t actually throw up every day. Maybe today I just had no appetite, so I couldn’t eat.”

“Then don’t force yourself to eat. Later, tell me what you feel like eating. I’ll have Nanny Zhang make it for you,” Wen Ran patted An Lin’s shoulder. She understood An Lin’s feelings, but knew she needed to be careful in her current condition.

“Ranran, I’m so worried about Ah Mu.”

Earlier, in front of her parents and in-laws, An Lin had to appear strong, hiding all her worries and fears.

But now, looking at herself in the mirror, thinking of Qin Mu made her nose tingle with the onset of tears.

Wen Ran’s heart tightened at the sight, and she gently said, “An Lin, Ah Mu will definitely be okay.”

“I wish the bullet had hit me instead of him.” An Lin looked up at the ceiling, forcing back the tears in her eyes.

She truly wished she were the one hurt.

Rather than the man she loves being injured.

“If that’s how you feel, Ah Mu surely feels the same way. An Lin, try not to be too sad now. Being overly upset while pregnant could affect the baby inside you.”

“I know, but I’m really scared.”

An Lin is not a fragile woman. In fact, from childhood to adulthood, she had faced many challenges, and her personality tends to be stronger.

So much so that in almost thirty years of life, she seldom cried.

But today, at the moment the bullet entered Qin Mu’s body, tears unexpectedly flooded her eyes.

Reflecting carefully, there was another time she felt this fearful—when Qin Mu and Wen Ran disappeared over a cliff.

She felt as if her heart had been hollowed out.

The panic swept over her from all directions, like a massive black hole swallowing her whole. Those who haven’t experienced it firsthand wouldn’t understand.

“Ranran, Ah Mu was fine even when he jumped off a cliff with you before. This time it’s just a bullet; he won’t leave me and the baby, right?”

Even the strongest people have their moments of weakness.

Even the most confident people have their moments of fear.

An Lin was no different. She needed someone to affirm that her Ah Mu would be okay.

Wen Ran stepped forward and gently hugged An Lin, “An Lin, Ah Mu has great fortune; he will definitely be safe and sound.”

After lunch, Wen Ran received a call from Mo Xiuchen.

He said Qin Mu’s surgery hadn’t finished yet and suggested Father Qin, Mother Qin, and An Lin’s parents rest at the hotel first.

After settling them down, An Lin insisted on waiting at the hospital for Qin Mu’s surgery to end.

Wen Ran, Wen Jin, and Jing Xiaocha accompanied An Lin back to the hospital, and on the way, Wen Ran asked An Lin again what she wanted to eat.

An Lin had no appetite and didn’t want anything.

“An Lin, I’ll have Nanny Zhang send some food to the hospital. You threw up everything from lunch, you can’t eat nothing.”

After saying that, Wen Ran dialed Nanny Zhang’s number and asked her to prepare some food.

Though An Lin couldn’t say specifically what she wanted to eat, she didn’t refuse Wen Ran’s kindness either.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Wen Jin’s phone rang, so Wen Ran and Jing Xiaocha accompanied An Lin to the elevator and up to the surgery floor. As soon as they reached outside the surgery room, a nurse came out to speak to Mo Xiuchen,

“Mo General, the director asked me to inform you that Mr. Qin’s surgery was very successful, so you don’t need to worry.”
