"Come on, the medicine is getting cold. You should drink it first."
Hearing the man's words, Xin'er finally focused her gaze on the bowl he was holding, which was filled with steaming hot herbal soup.
Without saying much, Xin'er reached out and took the bowl, lowering her head to drink.
However, as she experienced the bitter taste in her mouth, she couldn't help but furrow her brows and ask while sipping, "Um, what kind of medicine is this? It's so bitter..."
Although Xin'er wasn't afraid of bitterness, this was the first time she had encountered such an unpleasant-tasting medicine. Moreover, its flavor was strange and different from any medicine she had taken before.
As Xin'er spoke, Cold Charm Chen, who was standing nearby, noticed her comment. His deep black eyes flickered slightly, and then he opened his red lips to respond.
"This is not medicine for treating a cold."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing his words, Xin'er's actions came to a halt as she looked up with a pair of puzzled beautiful eyes at the man standing by the bed. "If it's not for treating a cold, then what is it?!"
At this point, Xin'er felt nothing but confusion; there was no worry or suspicion in her heart. She believed that this man would not harm her because if he intended to do something to her, he certainly wouldn't have brought her to the hospital.
What she was curious about now was what kind of medicine she was holding.
While Xin'er remained perplexed, Cold Charm Chen simply gazed at her silently without immediately responding. His narrow deep black eyes held a complex expression as they looked at Xin'er.
Seeing this, a sense of unease gradually crept into Xin'er's heart.
Could it be that she has some kind of terminal illness...
At this thought, Xin'er’s heart suddenly jolted, and she felt as if her heart had leaped into her throat.
Perhaps sensing Xin'er’s unease, Cold Charm Chen no longer concealed the truth and spoke up.
“It’s a pregnancy tonic.”
Cold Charm Chen's voice was cold and emotionless, merely stating a fact.
However, in response to his words, there was a sharp sound as a porcelain bowl clattered to the ground.
With that clear sound, the room fell into a moment of silence; neither Xin'er nor Cold Charm Chen spoke.
The room was so quiet that one could almost hear a pin drop.
At this moment, Xin'er was greatly shocked by Cold Charm Chen's words.
She felt as if she had been struck by thunder, completely frozen in place like a statue.
Her face was blank, her Beautiful Eyes wide open, and her Small Mouth slightly parted, displaying a look of shock and disbelief.
After a moment, Xin'er slowly regained her composure, gradually processing this sudden revelation. She gently lowered her head and placed her hand on her still flat belly.
The dazed expression on her delicate face began to transform as Red Lips curled into a smile that grew wider. Yet, in her Beautiful Eyes, a mist quickly formed. Then, as Red Lips parted, she exclaimed in surprise.
“Wow, I’m going to be a mother! I—I’m pregnant with Xuan’s child! Wow, this baby is ours!”
By the end of her statement, Xin'er was overwhelmed with joy and tears filled her eyes.
Although her belly was not yet showing, she could feel that within her lay a tiny life that had already begun to blossom.
Hehe, this is wonderful!
She is pregnant!
In contrast to the excited and joyful Xin'er, Cold Charm Chen, standing beside her, merely pursed his lips lightly at the sight of Xin'er's beaming face.
He felt a bit shocked about Xin'er's pregnancy, along with a hint of something indescribable stirring within him.
However, seeing the woman before him, overwhelmed with joy to the point of tears, her face radiating warmth and maternal brilliance, he was deeply astonished.
At that moment, the woman was truly beautiful.
Although she had always been beautiful in the past, her beauty at this moment carried a unique charm, with tenderness overflowing between her brows. Her beautiful eyes sparkled like clear water, and her red lips curled into a smile that mingled tears with boundless excitement...
Witnessing this, Cold Charm Chen's heart gradually surged with a strange feeling.
It was as if something had struck his heart fiercely...
A wave of excitement began to spread within him.
In that moment, he realized that watching this woman’s happiness brought him joy as well...
...
Perhaps it was because Xin'er was in good spirits that her health quickly improved.
After resting for a day at the clinic, Xin'er and the others left.
The heavy rain from yesterday had refreshed the air around them significantly.
The sky was clear without a cloud in sight, and the sunlight was enchanting.
The cobblestone road was washed clean by the rain.
After leaving the clinic, Xin'er looked up at the charming sun in the sky, the bustling streets, and breathed in the fresh air, feeling as if she had come back to life.
For during her time away from Xuan, she had been immersed in pain and suffering every day, feeling completely lost about her future.
She didn’t know where to go or what to do next.
Perhaps she had been living a life like a walking corpse, far removed from happiness.
But now, she was different.
Because now she was not living alone; she had the child growing inside her, the child of her and Xuan...
Thinking of this, Xin'er couldn’t help but lower her head and gently place her hand on her belly. A glow of maternal happiness filled her expression.
Walking alongside Xin'er was Cold Charm Chen, who noticed Xin'er’s demeanor and understood what she was thinking.
Perhaps sensing Xin'er’s joy, the cold expression on Cold Charm Chen's face gradually showed signs of melting.
With a slight lift of her lips, she turned to Xin'er and asked, “What are your plans moving forward?”
Upon hearing Cold Charm Chen's question, Xin'er paused for a moment before gazing at the lively street bustling with people. After a brief moment, she replied.
“You mentioned that this is Lily Town and that it is very far from the capital. Well then, I will settle down here.”
Xin'er spoke with determination. She had already thought it through; with a child on the way, it was no longer suitable for her to live as she did before—running around tirelessly would not be good for the baby.
Moreover, she had learned that Lily Town had simple folk, where everyone lived in peace and prosperity without any troubling incidents.
So, she planned to buy a house here and settle down.
From now on, she and her child would live here.
Xin'er thought to herself, then lowered her head, gently touching her still flat belly, and asked softly, "Child, from now on, you and your mother will live here. Do you like it? Hehe..."
Perhaps knowing that the child wouldn't answer her, she felt a bit silly asking, but at that moment, she truly felt very happy.
Heaven had not been unkind to her; although Xuan was not by her side, it had given her a child with him.
From now on, the two of them would rely on each other here!
Thinking of this, Xin'er seemed to remember something and turned to the man standing beside her, Cold Charm Chen, and asked, "Brother Leng, what about you?! Do you have any plans for the future?"
She knew nothing about this man before her.
And she wouldn’t casually inquire about someone else's identity or background.
After all, everyone had their own secrets, and so did she.
Therefore, she didn’t ask about this man's matters.
She also understood that although this man always seemed cold and aloof, he wouldn’t harm her.
While Xin'er was lost in thought, Cold Charm Chen did not immediately respond to her question. Instead, he spoke in a deep voice.
"You are a fragile woman, currently pregnant and alone in the world without any family or friends. If something were to happen in the future, who would take care of you?"
"Uh, I will take good care of myself."
Hearing this from Cold Charm Chen, Xin'er was momentarily taken aback before she spoke up.
However, upon hearing her words, Cold Charm Chen merely cast a faint glance at her, his eyes filled with skepticism.
Seeing this, Xin'er couldn't help but think that she had just recovered from a serious illness; in that case, she couldn't really say she was capable of taking care of herself, could she!?
But she was all alone out here and couldn't return to the capital, so naturally, she had to fend for herself. What other choice did she have!?
Xin'er felt a bit helpless and understood that Cold Charm Chen's words held some truth.
She was on her own, her body weak and fragile, and she was pregnant. If anything happened, there would indeed be no one to help her…
From now on, everything would depend on her.
However, she wasn't afraid. For the sake of herself and her child, she had to become strong.
Just as Xin'er was resolutely thinking this, she suddenly froze when she heard the man's next words.
"What!?"
"I said, from now on, I will live with you! After all, I have nowhere else to go, and with you like this, I can't feel at ease..."
As he said the last part, Cold Charm Chen's voice dropped to a low murmur, and he didn't look at Xin'er but kept gazing around.
Yet a suspicious blush gradually crept onto his face.
Seeing this, Xin'er was slightly taken aback before a smile blossomed on her lips, softening her features into a warm and pleasant expression.
"Hehe, thank you, Brother Leng. You truly are a good person!"
Knowing that Cold Charm Chen was worried about her, Xin'er felt a warmth in her heart and sincerely thanked him.
However, Cold Charm Chen was taken aback by Xin'er's words.
From a lonely, destitute child with no family to a cold-hearted killer who had spent years immersed in bloodshed, his hands were stained with countless lives.
No one had ever called him a good person.
Moreover, he knew himself that he was not a good person.
He was an assassin!
He only knew how to kill!
So when he heard Xin'er's words, his heart was shaken, and it felt as if a bottle of mixed emotions had been overturned inside him, flooding his mind with various feelings.
His Deep Black Eyes, filled with complex emotions, gazed silently at Xin'er for a moment before he spoke.
"I am not a good person."
