Chapter 710: 0700 Calling me ‘daddy’ is useless.

Su Ran was worried that Ye Zhichen would get tired, so she first took her to the corridor outside the operating room on the fifth floor, had her sit in a chair to wait for her, and then went down to the first floor to make the payment herself.

After getting everything settled, Su Ran headed toward the stairwell.

Seeing this, Ye Zhichen called out to her, “Xiao Ran, there’s an elevator nearby.”

Su Ran took a deep breath, “I know.”

“Then you…”

“I need to calm the rage inside me.”

Ye Zhichen: “…”

Watching Su Ran’s retreating figure, Ye Zhichen was filled with anxiety.

She could tell that Xiao Ran’s mood was very off.

She touched her still flat belly, her expression distant.

Hopefully, everything would be resolved safely!

On the other side, Su Ran walked from the fifth floor to the first floor, and after successfully making the payment, not only was the anger inside her not appeased, but it grew even more intense.

On her way back, her gaze swept over the cleaning room on the second floor, and she paused.

She propped up her chin, her eyes flickered, and then she entered the cleaning room.

Shortly after, a gloomy voice emanated from inside.

“Plastic? No good…”

“Wooden? Too light…”

“This one is too short…”

“This one is too thin…”

However, at this moment, outside the hospital.

A luxury sedan suddenly stopped, and the next second, a tall figure stepped down from the car.

The man’s face was aloof and striking, and his body exuded an aura of indifferent rage.

Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, he hurried at a brisk pace.

His gaze, sharp like a piercing ray, fixed on a certain floor of the hospital, his eyes narrowed slightly as he strode forward with long legs, his face somber, getting closer to the operating room.

Fifth floor.

Twenty minutes had passed, and Su Ran still hadn’t returned from making the payment.

Ye Zhichen became increasingly restless.

With Xiao Ran’s mood being so bad earlier, what if something had happened?

After another ten minutes without seeing Su Ran return, and not getting an answer to her phone calls, Ye Zhichen couldn’t sit still any longer.

She stood up, walked to the elevator, and pressed the button to go down, her nervous heart thumping with the numbers of the floors.

The elevator finally reached the fifth floor, and as the doors slowly opened, Ye Zhichen was about to step in when she saw…

A face that was both familiar and strange.

Ye Zhichen’s heart chilled, her eyes trembled fiercely, and her face suddenly turned ashen.

“You…”

She was so shocked that she couldn’t speak, her face deathly pale.

She instinctively stepped back two paces, her first reaction to turn and run.

But before she could step away, the man grabbed her forcefully.

Then a voice, as if from Hell, crashed down on her, gloomy and cold.

“Run? Ye Zhichen, where do you think you’re running to?”

Ye Zhichen’s eyelashes quivered, she came to her senses, and violently shook off the man’s hand.

“Let go of me!”

Chi Mu’s eyes narrowed slightly, his body exuding a cold and intimidating air that made people want to keep their distance.

Looking at the man in front of her, Ye Zhichen furrowed her brows slightly.

Why had he come to the hospital?

Could it be he knew something?

Impossible!

She had been so careful with keeping it a secret, not even informing her family; how could Chi Mu possibly know?

The fact that she was pregnant was a secret known to no one but Xiao Ran.

Ye Zhichen confirmed the guess in her mind, then calmed down and faced the man on the offensive.

“What are you doing here?”

She now felt fortunate that Xiao Ran wasn’t here, for since last night, she had been planning how to give Chi Mu a good beating.

If I see him now, who knows what might happen.

Chi Mu glared fiercely at Ye Zhichen, watching as she went from panicked to calm, and then to nonchalant. The coldness in his eyes deepened.

“You don’t have anything to say?”

Ye Zhichen never considered the possibility of pregnancy, so her expression was somewhat impatient.

“Say what?”

Hearing that the woman had no intention of telling him, the chill around Chi Mu grew until finally, he laughed angrily.

“How about the child in your belly?”

Ye Zhichen had never thought he would find out. His words hit her like a blow to the head, leaving her dumbfounded as she blurted out in response to his statement.

“How did you know…”

“How did I know?” Chi Mu sneered coldly, his gaze fixed on the operating room behind the woman, and his look became even colder and more ominous.

His body exuded an aura strong as a tornado, as if ready to destroy something.

“Still think there’s nothing to discuss with me?”

Ye Zhichen’s body trembled slightly, her face turned pale, but she tried to maintain her composure as she spoke.

“Why should I tell you? Who says this child is definitely yours?”

“Ye Zhichen!!”

Chi Mu was engulfed in a cold fury, his teeth clenched as if he wished he could tear her apart.

“Not mine?” He ground his teeth, each word seeping through them, “So, you want me to drag you to take a paternity test?”

Ye Zhichen’s eyes flickered, and she took two steps back, widening the distance between them.

She took a deep breath and said again, more composed,

“It has nothing to do with you anyway.”

The cold in Chi Mu’s brow became a solid mass as he sneered, “Nothing to do with me? Then tell me, who does it have to do with?!”

The man’s face grew even colder, forcing Ye Zhichen to retreat step by step.

“I…”

Just as she was at a loss for words, a sinister voice suddenly came from behind her–

“It’s my business, you got a problem with that?”

As soon as the voice dropped, Chi Mu and Ye Zhichen both turned around, and then they saw Su Ran emerge from the stairway, radiating an aura of fury.

To Ye Zhichen’s horror, Su Ran was dragging along a one-meter long hollow steel pipe in her hand.

Clearly, it had been detached from a broom handle.

The pipe dragged on the ground with a “clang clang” sound that was nerve-racking to the listeners.

Even a composed person like Chi Mu skipped a beat when he saw Su Ran dragging the steel pipe and staring at him with a sinister look.

“Xiao Ran?”

Ye Zhichen ran up to Su Ran’s side, looking at her worriedly.

“Zhichen, step aside,” Su Ran said.

“But…”

Su Ran spoke with an expressionless face, “Be good!”

“…”

“…”

With no other choice, Ye Zhichen bit her lip and stepped aside.

Su Ran’s eyes glinted with cold light, “Ha, heaven has a road you didn’t take, hell has no door yet you come in. I was just worried about not being able to find you, and here you are, delivering yourself to my doorstep!”

Ye Zhichen couldn’t help but rub her forehead.

There, even the “old man” reference came out!

It was clear she was truly angry!

Chi Mu pulled a face and called out to Su Ran.

“Sister-in-law–”

Su Ran’s face darkened, “Don’t try to relate to me. Don’t even say sister-in-law; calling me ‘old man’ won’t help either, scumbag, daring to sleep with my woman, now suffer!”

As she spoke, Su Ran charged at him, dragging the steel pipe.

Chi Mu realized Su Ran was not in the right state of mind and wouldn’t actually stand still waiting to be hit, and of course, he wouldn’t strike back, so the moment Su Ran charged at him, he turned around and ran.

“You damn thing, stop right there!”

“Sister-in-law, calm down a bit, let’s talk this out!”

“Talk my foot! You have the guts to sleep with my woman and not the guts to stand up and take responsibility, I’ll make you pay for this today in the name of justice!”

“You’re this violent, does Fu Qiyuan know about it?”
