CHAPTER 447: CHAPTER 447: WITHOUT LOVE, THERE IS NO HATE

Mu Bai stood upright in front of her, with his handsome face carrying the same smile as always. However, the moment he saw the paper in her hand, the smile quickly faded. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Prenatal check-up."

Those simple words carried no trace of emotion.

Mu Bai reached out his hand towards her, "Give it to me, I’ll go pay."

Shen Cheng did not hand it over but politely declined: "No need, I can handle it myself."

"There are so many people here, and you are pregnant..."

"I’m not that delicate."

Mu Bai hadn’t finished speaking when Shen Cheng interrupted him.

Mu Bai looked at her and suddenly smiled: "Are you still blaming me?"

Shen Cheng did not respond.

She had blamed him in the past, but not now.

To her, Mu Bai was just something from the past.

No... perhaps not even that.

Back then, she didn’t even understand what love was.

Naively thinking that a simple crush could last a lifetime, that they could be together forever.

Thinking about it now, it seems rather laughable.

"Back then, it wasn’t because my mother forced me to leave you, but because I went abroad for treatment."

After many years, Mu Bai finally revealed this secret.

Shen Cheng was slightly taken aback.

Regardless of not caring, not minding, having no feelings for him, she couldn’t remain completely indifferent.

She looked up at Mu Bai, her eyes filled with a bit of confusion, "Treatment?"

Mu Bai smiled and nodded: "I never told you, I have a heart condition. It might be minor or severe, it might never manifest or it could be deadly if it does. How could I have dared to tell you back then."

Holding the paper, Shen Cheng’s hand tightened slightly and she even smiled, "What’s the point of telling me this now?"

Mu Bai smiled: "As long as you no longer hate me, nothing else matters."

Shen Cheng laughed even wider, "Without love, where would hatred come from?"

Having said that, she walked straight past him, not looking back.

Watching her back, Mu Bai repeated the sentence: "Without love, where would hatred come from..."

Only he knew, it was not mere liking or favoritism.

It was love.

And this love, he had to bury in his heart.

Whether to let go, or not able to let go, that was all there was to it.

Mu Yu walked past beside him, seeing Mu Bai staring in a certain direction, she followed his gaze.

She seemed to understand something when she saw the delicate figure near the payment counter.

She reached out and tugged at Mu Bai’s hand, "Brother, what are you thinking about!"

Hearing her voice, Mu Bai pulled back his thoughts and smiled while ruffling Mu Yu’s hair.

"How was it, did the results come out?"

With one sentence, he easily shifted the topic.

Mu Yu frowned and handed him the result paper, "See for yourself."

Mu Bai glanced at the result and his brow also furrowed, "Early pregnancy... 42 days?"

"Yeah!"

Mu Yu responded unenthusiastically.

Then she took the result paper back, folded it neatly into her purse, and sighed a long breath: "There goes my wonderful youth, ruined..."

"Let Tang Yan propose to you when you get back."

"Proposals should be prepared by men themselves, why should I remind him? If he doesn’t propose, it’s no big deal, I can just not have this child."

Mu Bai frowned deeply, "Don’t be so capricious."

"So annoying..."

The two of them talked while walking towards the exit of the hospital.

Not knowing how far they had walked, Mu Bai looked back one more time.

But he could no longer capture that familiar yet strange figure among the crowd.
