Chapter 49: Encountering a Pregnant Woman in a Ruined Temple

Mrs.Zhou recalled, “I heard she went in the direction of Mount Fuqiu, but I’m not sure.”

Zhan Jingting hung up the phone and checked the weather forecast, furrowing his brow. “It’s going to rain heavily in an hour.” It was dangerous to climb the mountain during a heavy downpour, and they might even encounter mudslides.

“What should we do? We’re so worried about Mommy.” The children were about to cry, their eyes filled with tears.

At this moment, Mu Bo entered, and Zhan Jingting immediately instructed, “Take care of the children for me. I have something to do.”

Before Mu Bo could ask for details, he grabbed his car keys and left.

The children were very well-behaved and didn’t insist on going with him.

After Zhan Jingting left, Mu Bo walked towards the two young masters. “What happened?”

“Mommy went to collect herbs and forgot her phone. We’re very worried about her!” An An said truthfully. “It’s going to rain heavily.”

Mu Bo saw the urgency in Zhan Jingting’s actions, and he was a little surprised. Zhan Jingting never rushed for anyone like this before.

This was an instinctive reaction. This Miss Lin was truly capable.

“An An, Mo Mo, right?” Mu Bo said in a relaxed tone, squatting in front of the two children. “What do you want to eat? Tell Uncle!”

“We don’t want to eat. We want to read the financial news. Do you have any?” An An blinked his big, dark eyes.

Mu Bo was taken aback. “Yes.” Then he got up and went to get it.

He couldn’t believe that these two little guys could not only read but also discuss it. How smart were they? Their genes were truly amazing.

The Lamborghini sped towards Mount Fuqiu. Zhan Jingting didn’t even have time to bring anyone else. He was in a hurry.

Because the dark clouds were already overhead, the sky was like a giant black curtain, gradually swallowing the last rays of light. It would soon rain heavily.

The mountain was not yet developed. They had planned to build a resort and create a leisure spot for the middle class, so Zhan Jingting had personally inspected it and was quite familiar with the area.

There was a temple on the top of the mountain, where people occasionally went to pray for blessings. There was a ruined temple halfway up the mountain, old and dilapidated, which had never been repaired.

To find her, Zhan Jingting had cancelled two important meetings in the morning.

In the past six years, he had made up for his shortcomings towards his children and become a good father, fulfilling their every need.

At this time, Lin Banxia was walking along the path of Mount Fuqiu towards the depths of the forest. Her bag already contained some night-blooming jasmine. Since they were wild, she was very happy.

The mountain was lush with vegetation, with all sorts of vines, weeds, and trees, most of which she recognized. The sound of the wind howling through the leaves was a sense of urgency.

She had checked online last night, and a forum post mentioned that Mount Fuqiu was lush with vegetation, and people had found rare medicinal herbs there, including the one she needed.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt ripped through the sky, followed by the rumble of thunder!

She was startled, nervously lifting her gaze to the sky. It was dark and ominous, as if rain was coming.

The black knotweed growing in the vines caught her eye as she looked away.

Joy instantly washed over her fear. Banxia took a step forward, her feet encountering thorns, almost causing her to twist her ankle.

“Finally found you.” She reached the black knotweed and carefully picked it, while a light drizzle began to fall.

It quickly intensified, soaking her through. She put the herbs back in her bag, her vision blurring.

At this time, the Lamborghini had already stopped at the foot of the mountain, behind the Maybach.

He held up an umbrella and walked towards the mountain!

It was really inconvenient not having a phone, but she probably didn’t check the weather forecast, otherwise she wouldn’t have chosen to go up the mountain on a day like this.

The rain was getting heavier… thinking of the long scar on her stomach, Zhan Jingting couldn’t help but quicken his pace.

“Lin Banxia!” He walked up with his umbrella, the path was difficult. “Lin Banxia!!” Visibility was getting lower, he looked to both sides, searching for her with his eyes.

The rain was too loud, and Banxia was already halfway up the mountain. How could she possibly hear him?

Wild black knotweed was rare and had high medicinal value.

So Lin Banxia dug it up with her bare hands, roots and all. She planned to plant it in the courtyard of Yuzhu Villa.

The wind and rain roared like a thousand horses.

Large raindrops hammered down on her, her hair quickly sticking to her face.

She had only one belief, and that was to cure Uncle Ming as soon as possible!

The rain was so heavy that it obstructed her vision. She carried her bag, muddy from head to toe, and ran towards the ruined temple halfway up the mountain.

As she rushed onto the path, she bumped into the man’s large black umbrella. She raised her hand to wipe the rain from her face, and when she saw Zhan Jingting, she stared in disbelief, her eyes wide!

He looked at her, “No phone, going up the mountain in a rainstorm, deliberately making people worry?”

“You… how did you get here?” She was stunned, unable to believe it was true.

The rain was getting heavier, hitting the umbrella with a loud, crackling sound.

Zhan Jingting put his arm around her shoulder, guiding her forward, and he held the large black umbrella towards her, his own shoulder quickly becoming soaked by the rain.

“Because your precious sons came to the company looking for me, saying you didn’t bring your phone out, they were very worried.” The man asked her, “Did you deliberately choose a rainy day to achieve your goal?”

“What are you talking about?” She turned her head, holding the bag, “You think I want to get your attention? Haha, I’m not that bored!”

After saying that, she quickened her pace, and he quickly followed.

He saw her hair, as if it had been glued, tightly pressed against her cheeks, covering her delicate features. She wasn’t wearing makeup, but she was really beautiful. Even when he looked at her closely, she was clearly in a mess, but she was still stunningly beautiful.

The small broken temple was close at hand, Lin Banxia said, “I have some medicine left behind that door.”

“Seems like you know the terrain well.” The man put his arm around her shoulder, holding the umbrella with the other hand, “You’re quite brave, daring to come up here alone.”

Actually, she was a little scared when it was thundering.

“Ming Shu’s condition can’t be delayed, we need to strike while the iron is hot.” Banxia told him, “With these few herbs, I believe he will soon wake up, remember the past, and be able to communicate with me normally.”

He had no faith in his wife’s medical skills.

As they walked up the steps, they reached the front of the small broken temple and saw a woman supporting another woman, struggling to enter the temple.

From the back, it looked like they were injured.

So, the two kind people exchanged glances and couldn’t help but quicken their pace towards the temple.

Banxia, drenched in sweat, put down the bag, and Zhan Jingting also put down the umbrella.

“Ouch, it hurts… it hurts…” The woman helped the other woman lie down on a pile of straw.

Banxia saw her high, protruding belly, and her heart sank. Was she going to give birth? She couldn’t help but think of her own situation at that time, and she felt empathy.

“What happened?” She came to her senses and hurried over, “Are you going to give birth? Are you full term? When was your last checkup?”

“We called 120, the car should be at the foot of the mountain soon…” The other girl was also panting, staying by the pregnant woman’s side, “The last checkup was last week, they said the umbilical cord was wrapped around the neck twice, and the due date is the 10th of next month.”
