Using the full name as a warning was something that had worked last time when Mu Chenxi heard it in the hospital, eliciting a response with just a look from her.
But today, she acted as if she hadn't heard it, completely unaffected.
Fu Yanshen abruptly lost his flare-up, pressing his temples with a hint of a headache.
For the first time, he felt powerless against the usually easy-to-coax Mu Chenxi.
In the past, she responded to both stick and carrot.
Now, she was impervious to both and indifferent to any persuasion.
In the brief silence, Fu Yanshen thought back to Chenxi's first hospitalization, her anxiety about the child in her womb, and spoke again, "Chenxi, even if you don't care for yourself, you should think about the child inside you."
Clearly, he had hit the mark.
As soon as Mu Chenxi heard the word 'child', she reacted.
Her eyes opened and she looked at him. Without speaking, her expression screamed, 'What's wrong with the child?'
