It dumbfounded Xuxu .
She had forgotten all about this tricky issue . Who would hire a pregnant woman?
She bent her head and gazed at her own tummy as she mocked herself . She belonged to the group of the elderly, the weak, the sick, and now, the pregnant .
"Just concentrate all your energy on the baby . I will support you . We don't need any money from Flourish & Prosper . " Mu Li gently patted Xuxu's tummy . "My salary can easily support you and the baby . I'll ensure that you'll have a comfortable lifestyle . "
Xuxu was touched by her gesture . She softly said, "I still have my own savings . "
She had received a fixed salary while she was working at Flourish & Prosper . She didn't spend much except for expenses like her electricity bills and daily expenses .
Since she had been staying with the Yan family in recent months, she had saved up most of her salary . It should sustain her for some time .

But she wanted to find something to do to occupy her time . If her expectations weren't that high, it should be relatively easy to find a job .
Mu Li nodded . "Okay . Let me know if you need my help . "
She cleaned the entire house—even changed the bedsheets and blanket .
Mu Li took her own promise seriously, and she had someone seal up the door . She left after making Xuxu's dinner .
She suggested hiring a helper, but Xuxu didn't agree to it . Though in the end, both of them gave in . Xuxu agreed to hire a part-time helper who would help her clean the house twice a week .
After dinner, Xuxu sat in her balcony with a book and started reading .
'Slam!'

There was a loud noise outside the door . The noise had pulled her out from the exciting story she was reading .
'Cough… cough . '
Then she heard indistinct sounds of the door opening followed by the sound of a man's cough . But her attention was re-diverted back to her book as she flipped the pages .
She was tired although it was barely nine in the evening . Perhaps she was drained after traveling for so many days . She yawned as waves of sleepiness crashed over her .
She put the book down and went to the toilet . Then after switching off the lights, she closed the bedroom door and strode across to draw the curtains .
Her eyes casually swept across the windows next door, and she saw how the room was dimly lit . She turned her head, drew the curtains, and climbed into her bed .
'Cough, cough . '
She could still hear the man's constant coughs . Xuxu switched off her bedside lamp . She pulled her blanket over her head .
She couldn't remember how long had she tossed and turned before she fell asleep . She slept through the entire night .
The next morning, she sluggishly walked through her room and entered the bathroom . She began to brush her teeth .
'Ding dong . '
She heard the sounds of the doorbell but wasn't sure if it was hers . She paused and listened intently once more .
'Ding dong . '
She became certain that it was hers .
She peeked her head out of the bathroom and yelled at the door . "Who is it?"
No one answered, and it made her frown . She had a hunch who the person was, and so she decided to ignore it . She continued to brush her teeth .
The doorbell rang shortly once more .
She became annoyed and stomped out with big strides . She wrenched the door open .
But no one was outside her door . She saw a thermal container on the floor near her door when she was about to close it .
At a glance, she somehow understood, and so she turned to glance at the door next door . She ignored the container and shut the door .
She cooked two eggs for herself and heated a glass of milk . As expected, she threw up everything she ate .
