“AHHHH!”

A shrill cry resonated across the interrogation room .

“Go on!”

“I'm sorry! I'm sorry!” Luo Hanjin proceeded with his second stab while gritting his teeth and enduring the pain he felt . His legs wobbled from the combination of fear and pain . He was driven into total madness .

The criminal was in a state of dementia by the time the prison guards brought him back to his cell . Along the way, he profusely begged for redemption with bloodshot eyes and an ashen complexion .

Yun Tianyou's face was carved in ice as he looked on impa.s.sively at the man being dragged away .

Li Hanlin let out a sigh . He carried the little boy in his arms and took his time to leave .

“Mr . Li, I'm so heartbroken for my mommy . What exactly has she gone through? Depression? Misanthropy? What exactly has she gone through in her dark past? My heart is aching a lot . ” The little boy let his agent hug him as his small hand clutched at his chest; his broken heart seemed to be bleeding from the immensity of the pain .

The agent could only sigh . Deep down, he was more worried for this child than Yun s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ .

“How should we deal with that Mu Wanrou?”

“That spiteful woman is better off dead!” Yun Tianyou's...o...b.. turned pitch-black as his heart was taken over by hatred . In that moment, the sides of his mouth slightly tugged upward to form a sinister smile . “There's no forgiveness for anyone who hurts mommy!”

The Mu residence .

As Mu Yichen was going down the stairs, he felt a pang of pain in his heart .

He temporarily halted his steps and grasped at his chest tightly; the mysterious pain in his heart was aching to the point of suffocation .

“Yichen, what is happening?”

Mu Wanrou noticed the grave look on his face and instinctively knew that he just had a relapse .

The child paid no attention to her whatsoever and just continued heading down to the lower level by himself .

Her face grew stiff . She thought to herself that he was biologically not hers, after all, so their relations.h.i.+p could only be estranged; he was not close to her at all .

A skin-deep smile indifferently tugged at the corner of her lips, and she quickly made her way downstairs as well .

The maids have already laid out dinner on the table . She could not help but ask them, “Where's Young Master Mu?”

“Daddy has to fly straight to England tonight to settle a takeover,” Yichen answered instead . “I overheard this when I was walking past his study room yesterday . ”

“He is that busy?”

Mu Sheng slowly came down the stairs with his walking stick . “Wanrou, why are you back so late tonight?”

Feeling a pang of guilt, she glossed over his words . “I went shopping . I purchased a few sets of clothes for myself . ”

“Oh! Sit down . ”

The two purposely waited for the old man to settle down in his seat first before they took their places .

As the three sat around the dining table, she raised her eyes to Mu Sheng and broached about her physical condition in a roundabout manner . “Grandpa, there's something in my mind, but I'm not sure if I should ask you about it . ”

“What is it?”

She carefully worded her question . “Six years ago, I was diagnosed as congenitally infertile . Is that result really credible?”

He gave her a look tainted with hesitation .

He recalled watching a show once on TV explaining the term 'infertile' .

It meant that one could not conceive a child .

He carefully put down his chopsticks and wore a solemn look on his face . “For this, I have invited both local and foreign medical pract.i.tioners, and all guaranteed that you are congenitally infertile; you can't have a baby . ”

“Am I really… unable to get pregnant?” She feigned indignation . “Grandpa, I really hope that I can give birth to a child to continue the Mu family lineage . ”

“Grandpa does understand your intentions . ” He knitted his brows . “But this truly can't be forced . ”

“How do you know without even giving it a try? What if I am able to get pregnant? I can give Yichen a younger brother!” She insisted, looking at the little lad gently .
