The two of them ran as fast as they could and made it to the maternity hospital in twenty minutes.

The pregnant lady’s husband had called for a trolley and was waiting anxiously at the door with several nurses.

Shen Mochen put the pregnant woman on the trolley. Shui Miaomiao handed the pregnant lady’s bag to her husband.

“Thank you. Thank you,” the pregnant lady’s husband said gratefully. Then, he ran into the emergency ward as the trolley was wheeled quickly in.

Shui Miaomiao stood still as she looked at them running. Tears started forming in her eyes.

A long time ago, she had been the one who was wheeled alone into the emergency room on a stretcher.

“I have a house nearby. Let’s go to my place. I’ll ask someone to buy a shirt for you,” Shen Mochen’s said.

Shui Miaomiao regained her senses and looked in Shen Mochen’s direction.

Their eyes met.

With tears in her eyes, Shui Miaomiao forced a smile to hide her embarrassment and said, “It’s okay. Oh, right, your suit.”

Shui Miaomiao unbuttoned his jacket and took it off. She held the collar of the suit and handed it to Shen Mochen. “Thank you. The car key is in your jacket pocket.”

Shen Mochen glanced at her pants and frowned. His eyes were dark, and he said in a deep voice, “Are you going to walk down the street like that?”

Shui Miaomiao followed his gaze and looked at her legs.

They were covered in blood.

“There’s more on your hips,” Shen Mochen said to make her notice.

Shui Miaomiao’s face reddened slightly, and she glanced at his white shirt and light-colored trousers which were also covered with red blood. How did he still look noble and elegant while she looked so pitiful?

She was not afraid of the stares of passers-by. She was numb to such things after experiencing them so many times in the past. She was worried that Yanyan would be sad if he saw her.

“I will pay you back the money for the clothes,” Shui Miaomiao said gruffly. There was awkwardness on her face, and her eyes looked down as she put on his suit jacket.

Shen Mochen smiled slightly and started to walk away.

Shui Miaomiao followed him, watching him make a phone call with his chin slightly tilted. His voice was deep, and his tone was commanding.

“My car is parked at the intersection of Jinling road and Bo’ai road. Deal with it, and…”

Shen Mochen narrowed his eyes at Shui Miaomiao, and his deep eyes moved from her delicate face to her chest and abdomen. “Buy a sapphire skirt in a size 170 S, and a purple bra in an 80 D. Take it to my house on Bo’ai road,” he said.

Shui Miaomiao listened to the man, who had quickly worked out her size and favorite color. She felt a little embarrassed. Her eyelashes twitched, and her face grew redder and redder as she turned her head away from him.

Suddenly, she saw Shen Mochen forcefully approaching her. Shui Miaomiao subconsciously took two steps back.

“Are you afraid of me?” Shen Mochen stared at Shui Miaomiao with his deep and quiet eyes. He gently raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly.

Shui Miaomiao looked straight at Shen Mochen and guarded herself as a hedgehog might. She felt as if he could read her mind. She rolled her eyes, cleared her throat, and said, “Afraid of you? Why should I be afraid of you? You are not a poisonous snake or a ferocious beast.”

Shui Miaomiao forced herself to smile. Her clear eyes peered at Shen Mochen, and she raised an eyebrow coquettishly as she said, “Professor Shen, don’t you think you are thinking too much?”

Shen Mochen’s eye flashed a glimpse of malicious intention. He took a step towards Shui Miaomiao.

Shui Miaomaio instinctively took a step back, forgetting that there were some stairs behind her. She began to fall backward.

Shen Mochen was a step faster. He stretched out his long arm, wrapped it around her waist, and pulled her closer to him. At the same time, his body leaned forward to balance Shui Miaomiao between the top of the stairs and him.
