The light in the hallway was slightly brighter than the light in the room, so the shock displayed on Yu Mufeng’s face was easy to see as he stared wide-eyed at Gu Mang.
There was a cold glint in Gu Mang’s narrowed eyes that gave him the chills. One look from her was enough to send him gasping for breath and the rest of his words thus got stuck in his throat.
Gone was her usual lazy and nonchalant demeanor. It was replaced with a threatening and hostile look.
This was the first time Yu Mufeng had been on the receiving end of such a look from Gu Mang and he had the feeling that he might not get to live to see tomorrow if he even said just one more word. His grip on the doorknob tightened when he realized that his guess was not far from the truth. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
The three second long staredown felt like it lasted for over a century.
All of a sudden, Yu Mufeng strode into the room and stopped right in front of Gu Mang before grabbing her wrist and placing his fingers on it to take her pulse. His body was stiff throughout. In fact, he did not know where he got the guts from to do such a thing.
Gu Mang did not pull away from him and merely looked down to quietly stare at her own wrist.
Although Gu Si had no idea what was going on, he could tell from Yu Mufeng’s change in mood that things were serious. Without further ado, he entered the room again and locked the door behind him. His eyebrows were knitted together as he watched Yu Mufeng take his sister’s pulse. "What’s wrong with my sis, Brother Mufeng?"
He could not understand the current situation. My sister is a doctor herself, so she’d definitely know if something was wrong with her body.
Yu Mufeng wordlessly kept his fingers on Gu Mang’s wrist as he repeatedly confirmed his guess. His expression, however, slowly turned grave as the seconds ticked by, for he arrived at the same diagnosis no matter how many times he took her pulse. Along with his heaving chest, his breaths became heavy and ragged as he hissed, "Lu Chengzhou!"
Gu Mang said nothing. She lazily leaned back against the sofa as she returned her attention to the computer and calmly clicked on the mouse to collect her in-game prizes.
Gu Si looked at his sister before turning to Yu Mufeng in confusion. "What’s going on? Why did you say my brother-in-law’s name when I was asking you what is wrong with my sister?"
"I..." The words got stuck in Yu Mufeng’s throat once more. He did not know how he should break the news to Gu Si. Should I tell him that he’s going to be an uncle soon?
Stay calm. What happened has already happened. There’s no point in getting angry. However, even after taking several deep breaths, Yu Mufeng only got angrier at the thought. Ugh, to hell with that!
"D*mn it! Couldn’t he control himself?!" Yu Mufeng cursed as he ruffled his hair in annoyance. Gu Mang is so young, for goodness sake! That d*mned beast!
