Chapter 219: Bodyguard 2

The bodyguard felt something was wrong by the way that Mu Lan’s body tensed up.

"What’s wrong?" He asked gently when he noticed her body was stiff.

"Do you have a wife, Ken?" She asked with a sad voice.

The bodyguard stiffened. "Yes, I have." The bodyguard’s voice trembled a bit.

"Will you be happy if you know that your wife is pregnant?" Mu Lan asked tentatively. She felt comfortable having Ken around. She did not know why but she felt that she can trust him.

"Of course! There shouldn’t be any husband who loves his wife that will not feel happy to know that he is going to have a child." the bodyguard was feeling emotional.

Mu Lan frowned. She noticed the tremor in Ken’s voice. He must have remembered something sad just like her. She did not probe anymore but pondered for a while. She could not remember if her husband loved her, though she felt in her heart that he did. She even felt that he is alive but why did he not look for her?

"Your Grandpa said that you will be discharged tomorrow but you need to rest well today."

They reached the ward in no time. The bodyguard opened the door before pushing the wheelchair inside. He assisted Mu Lan out of the wheelchair and then carried her to the bed to let her lie down. Mu Lan was shocked but the action was very fast like the bodyguard was used to doing it as part of his job. He adjusted the elevation of the bed so she is comfortably seated. He placed the pillow on the lower part of her back to support her.

The flustered Mu Lan wanted to say something but when she looked at the innocent look on the bodyguard’s face, she kept it to herself.

Mu Heng was sitting on the couch and watching the careful movement of the bodyguard raised his eyebrows and the corner of his lips stretched sideways and curled up. He slightly nodded in approval.

"Master Mu, here is the printout of the ultrasound images." He handed him a few pages of colored paper. The bodyguard took out his cellphone and stood in front of the old man. "Here is a 4D video." I can forward to you if you want.

Mu Heng laughed. "Looked at her. Isn’t she smiling?" The old man, unconsciously looked up at the man standing tall before him. He saw the gleam in his eyes and he frowned. But when he looked back at the photos in his hands he could not help but feel the happiness in his heart.

He excitedly stood and approached Mu Lan who was smiling on the bed. The bodyguard on the other hand took cut up some fruits, placed them on a small plate, and was about to put them on top of the small table beside the bed when Mu Heng spoke.

"She is beautiful. Have you thought of a name for her?"

"Erika." Mu Lan said without thinking.

Thud. The plate on the bodyguard’s hand slipped and landed on the table. Thankfully, the height from which the plate has fallen was not too high so it was still intact when it landed.

"Sorry, the plate slipped from the hand." The bodyguard seemed to be in a good mood.

Mu Heng frowned. "That’s an English name. How about Zhi? What is so good about the name Erika?"

Mu Lan followed Mu Heng with her gaze as sullenly went back to the couch to sit down.

The bodyguard snickered as he watched the old man mutter something under his breath. He thought that he was childish.

"Isn’t Erika a good name?" Mu Lan asked the bodyguard.

"It is a good name. It means power." the bodyguard looked at Mu Lan deep brown eyes that spoke of pride. "I will choose that name for my daughter as well." He smiled broadly, the kind of smile that almost reached his ears. It is just unfortunate that he was wearing a mask.

Mu Lan was dazzled when she saw the smile in his eyes. She could guess that he was grinning from ear to ear.

"Granddaughter, I have to go. Mu Chen will be here soon and you have a bodyguard. Wan will also be back with your change of clothes."

"Take care, Grandpa. Don’t worry I will be fine here."

When Grandfather Mu Heng left and Nanny Wan has not arrived yet, Mu Lan suddenly felt that it was awkward to be left alone in a room with a man who was not her husband. The bodyguard understood that Mu Lan was anxious. He did not want to agitate her.

"I’ll just be outside the door. Just call me if you need anything. Nanny Wan will be back soon."

The bodyguard reluctantly went outside the room. He pulled a stool and sat by the door and he busied himself by looking at the messages on his cell phone. No matter how serious he was in reading his emails, he would remember to peep inside and check on Mu Lan.

When he saw her fell asleep, he entered the room and sat by the couch, and just watch there. A lot of things were going on in his mind.

Mu Lan kicked the blanket that covered her and her legs were exposed. The bodyguard frowned. He stood up and covered her with the blanket. She looked so peaceful and relaxed when she was asleep. His gaze went lower and rested on her stomach. His heart skipped a beat when he saw a part of her stomach bulge. He tried to control his urge but in the end, he gave up.

He reached down and gently placed his big palm on her stomach. He felt the baby kick. He closed his eyes and immersed himself in the beautiful experience of feeling the baby kick. The baby kicked a few times and he could not help but pressed his palm on her stomach as if by doing so he can connect to the baby inside.

"What are you doing?"
