Mu Cheng decided to drive her there but when he opened the door, he saw Mu Jin standing in front of his door, her face hesitant.
âWhat are you doing here?â
âAh? Why did you come you come out from this door? Chief Ning told me to pick you up.â Mu Jin looked at the two doors.
Tang Xiao rubbed her nose.
Itâs not like she could say she slept with Mu Cheng last night.
She changed the topic, âWhat happened to Xiao Lin?â
âChief Ning said that sheâs busy so Iâll be your a.s.sistant for the next few days. Right, thereâs also something else I need to talk to you about. Prepare yourself.â Mu Jin sucked in a deep breath.
This made Tang Xiao anxious for some reason.
Mu Jinâs face was serious. âYou have become pregnant.â
Tang Xiao: âŠ.????
What do you mean, become pregnant??? Become pregnant??
Tang Xiao instinctively turned around to face Mu Cheng.
Mu Jin then saw Mu Cheng, her face shocked, âMy G.o.d, you slept together last night. Does that mean youâre really pregnant?â
âWait, what do you mean âbecome pregnantâ?â Tang Xiao pinched her forehead.
âAh, just what the words mean. Youâre not pregnant but someone else is pregnant.â
Someone else?
Tang Xiaoâs eyes moved to Mu Chengâs stomach as she thought.
She started to wonder if somehow, without her knowledge, sheâd slept with Mu Cheng.
Otherwise, how could they just innocently be sleeping next to each other under the same blanket, and the second day, he was pregnant?
âF****! Mu Cheng, youâre pregnant! Alright! Thatâs too strong!â Tang Xiaoâs words didnât pa.s.s through her brain as they jumped out.
Mu Chengâs eyes grew helpless. âTang Xiao, delete that useless stuff in your mind right now.â
âMu Cheng can become pregnant?â Mu Jinâs eyes were wide as she looked, shocked, at Mu Chengâs stomach.
Mu Cheng: âŠ. Itâs really not easy for Chief Ning, to actually find two people with bad brains like this.
âYouâre both about to be late.â
Mu Jin didnât care for that, she quickly dragged Tang Xiao and ran.
âOn the way, Chief Ning called Tang Xiao and ordered her to do a few things.
âIs Xiao Lin pregnant?â Tang Xiao then regained her senses as she asked.
Chief Ning paused. âWeâre not sure but Iâm going to take her to the hospital for a checkup. Yesterday, when Xiao Lin left the pharmacy, a reporter caught her. They thought you were pregnant so when you see the reporters, respond accordingly.â
âThis blame came out of nowhere.â
Even though the Third Gender was growing popular, there werenât a lot of reporters who came to see the set.
Sometimes, thereâd be one or two.
But who knew that this morning, thereâd be a whole crowd of reporters.
As they saw Tang Xiao step out of the van, they swarmed her instantly.
âMy G.o.d, I feel like if I do get pregnant one day, the happiest person wonât be me but the media.â Tang Xiao watched the reporters as she wanted to cry but she had no tears.
âOr maybe it might be Mu Cheng?â Mu Jin said.
This phrase made Tang Xiao happy.
Her eyes nearly didnât write --- âBestow this person well for this emperor!â
âOpen the door! When we get back, tell Chief Ning to give you a bonus!â
Once the door was opened, the lights from the cameras kept flashing in her face.
âTang Xiao, Tang Xiao, whoâs the babyâs father?â
âTang Xiao, I heard you were pregnant, can you reveal how long itâs been?â
âŠ.
Mu Jin tried her hardest to push the people away. âSorry, our Tang Xiao isnât pregnant. Thank you everybody. You all probably havenât eaten yet so Tang Xiaoâs prepared some snacks. In a while, the workers will give them to you. Itâs been hard on you all.â

TL note:
You have become pregnant - the Chinese is weird because itâs not âyouâre pregnantâ but you have become pregnant, like something has made her pregnant. Thatâs why the phrasing is a bit weird.
I'm reading this story and nearly spat out my water. It said the female lead had an ambiguous/romantic relationship with a 'turtle' which made the male lead go crazy and kill them all .... but it turns out it was a typo and the guy's name was "hai gui" which is a synonym for turtle, 'hai gui'.
