That night, Sijun quickly washed up and went into the room.

In the room, Man Xian was sitting at the desk, revising her thesis on her computer under the desk lamp.

Sijun came behind her and put his hand on Manxian's shoulder.

Man Xian moved his hand away unhappily.

Sijun let go twice, and Manxian moved twice, each time more intense than the last.

The anger in Sijun's heart, which had finally subsided, was ignited again.

He waved his hand and walked to the bed and sat down.

He was very angry and gasped.

His breathing became louder and louder, he did it on purpose so that Man Xian could hear his anger.

Manxian turned around and said to Sijun, "If you are tired, lie down and rest! If you want to go crazy, please go out and come back in after you are done!"

Sijun was still furious, and of course he didn't go out. However, seeing Manxian so focused on revising her paper, he felt that it would be a waste of time to continue disturbing her, so he had to undress and lie down on the bed to rest.

He couldn't sleep and tossed and turned. Firstly, he was still furious and secondly, the lamp Manxian was using was so powerful that it almost replaced half of the ceiling light. The room was so brightly lit that he couldn't sleep.

He lay there for more than half an hour. Man Xian finally turned off the computer, turned off the desk lamp, and walked out of the room to wash up.

Sijun still didn't sleep, so he kept waiting. After another twenty minutes, Manxian finally finished washing up and returned to the room, and quickly lay down.

Sijun wanted to hold Manxian's hand, but Manxian shook his hand away again.

"Can you please stop bothering me! I need to go to bed quickly. I have a lot of things to do tomorrow!"

Man Xian was always thinking about the more than fifty reports that had not been signed that day.

This number of reports is her normal full day's workload.

Also, although Xiaoxiang promised to help find a tutor to revise her thesis, it was still a blank check after all, and it was still a big question whether she could find one.

In addition, Qian Xiaoya pressed on step by step, as if she was determined to bring her down so that she could have the right to publish the paper alone. In that case, all the hard work she had put in over the past few months while pregnant would be wasted.

She felt very insecure inside, as if everything was empty and illusory to her.

She turned her back to Sijun and intentionally slept farther away from him.

When Sijun saw Manxian like this, he felt sad and angry, but there was nothing he could do. He could only close his eyes and digest his anger.

And just like that, both of them fell asleep unhappily.

The next morning, Man Xian got up, ate breakfast in a hurry, and went out immediately.

When Sijun woke up and saw the mess on the dining table, he knew that Manxian had finished her breakfast.

"This woman can't even eat properly. Look, the food is spilled on the table!" Sijun's mother muttered.

Sijun didn't answer, ran to wash up, and then sat down to eat.

"Humph! You can't say a word and you just go out after dinner. You're really a mute!" Sitting opposite her son, Sijun's mother started complaining again.

Sijun thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Mom, she is like this. She keeps many things in her heart and doesn't like to speak them out. She is the same to others and even her own family. She is pregnant with a boy, but she refuses to tell anyone."

Sijun actually didn't know whether Manxian was pregnant with a boy or a girl, but he could only use this method now. He told his mother that Manxian was pregnant with a boy. After all, his hometown was a society that valued boys over girls. Maybe this would make his mother happier and treat Manxian better.

Unexpectedly, his mother showed no expression and said, "No matter what she is pregnant with, even if she is the future emperor, basic courtesy and respect are still necessary. To be honest, son, I really can't stand this kind of life anymore!"

Sijun was speechless again.

He quickly got up, packed up a little and went out to work.

In the hospital, Man Xian was waiting anxiously at the door of the obstetrics and gynecology department.

The door opened and Xiaoxiang came out in a hurry.

"Manxian, you look haggard. Didn't you sleep well last night?" Xiaoxiang asked with concern.

"I always think about a lot of troubles. I sleep and wake up all night, so when I wake up in the morning, my brain still feels groggy."

"Manxian, you need to adjust your condition. This is not good for the baby in your belly! Do you understand? I am an obstetrician and gynecologist myself, so I know all this."

Man Xian said gratefully: "Thank you, Xiaoxiang, you are the only one who cares about me the most at this time. In fact, I came to you and wanted to meet you just to make sure whether your husband can really find someone who can guide me in the direction of my research paper?"

"To be honest, Manxian, I'm not sure either. I can only tell him to give it a try first. You should also be prepared for not finding the person. If that's the case, you may have to find a way to communicate with your senior brother. Just talk to him properly and clear up the misunderstanding."

"I don't like to confront others head-on." Man Xian lowered her head and said, "I know that Qian Xiaoya must be betting everything on this paper. If she wants to defeat me, she won't let me communicate with my senior brother so easily. She will definitely keep an eye on me and try to sabotage me at all times."

"Yes, you are right. Qian Xiaoya is that kind of person."

"So, I can only hope that you have some good news."

"Okay, Manxian, you go back first, I'll try to help you. I have a caesarean section to perform later, I'll go in first. Wait for my news, don't worry, we will do our best to help you."

Manxian nodded repeatedly to thank Xiaoxiang.

After returning to the department, Man Xian tried her best to adjust her state and started signing films.

She tried to sign as many as she could and had a dull headache due to a poor sleep the night before, but she was stubborn and strong and insisted on signing all the more than 50 films she owed from the day before.

She also signed some of the films for the day. At six o'clock in the evening, she carefully checked her task list and found that there were still more than 20 films that she had not signed. These could only be postponed until the next day.

Although she was tired after a day of hard work and her eyes were tired, she still felt a sense of accomplishment.

He stood up, stretched, and returned home.

When I walked into the room, I heard my mother-in-law talking on the phone with someone in the room.

My mother-in-law's voice was so loud that Manxian could hear it even when she was standing outside the room.

I only heard my mother-in-law say that my daughter-in-law was pregnant with a boy. She must be even more proud now and will no longer take me, her mother-in-law, seriously.

Manxian was confused. What was going on? She hadn't even done any tests, so why did her mother-in-law say she was pregnant with a boy?

She could only pretend nothing happened and return to her room.

A few minutes later, Sijun came back. He came back quite early today.

"Why did your mother say that I was pregnant with a boy?" Man Xian asked Sijun as soon as she saw him.

"me......"

"Don't hesitate! Just say what you want to say!!"

"I told her, to... to make her happy..."

"Why are you like this?! You know that this lie is stupid?! You know that this is a stupid and boring lie!!"
