Before we left, Lin Nan was reluctant to part with me.
Auntie Lan glared at Jing Tian. âCanât you leave Nanxing here to stay? The wedding is going to be held soon, and youâve been beaten up by Tong Le and Tong Mo. Youâve suffered enough. Canât you have your wife stay with you?â
Jing Tian coughed lightly. âIâll go and be a live-in son-in-law. I wonât disturb you and dad.â
Auntie Lan was rendered speechless by her sonâs counterattack. She hit her son. âYou Little Brat.â
Jing Tian revealed a rare smile and explained, âWe still have something to discuss. Donât worry. I know youâre anxious to hold your grandchildren. You should hurry up and prepare for the wedding. Our matter will be settled soon.â
He pulled me along and walked away quickly. The others followed suit. We fled in panic amid auntie Lanâs smug laughter.
When we returned to our courtyard, Mai Qi and Jing Ni stopped in their tracks and asked in unison, âWhat is going on with Lin Nan?â
No one spoke.
No one could answer this question.
Jing Tian pulled me back and said in a deep voice, âI think sheâs most interested in you. Stay away from her. If you canât, think of a way to send her away!â
I sighed. âLin Hua is currently concocting medicine with Mr. Li. Keeping Lin Nan around is one of his conditions. If I send her away, Iâm afraidâ¦â
I didnât continue because I saw cousin Moâs expression change.
He had always been very sensitive in this aspect.
Ye Qian smiled. âWe donât need to be wary of anything. Iâve observed her for a while and feel that she doesnât seem to be faking it. Why donât I stay with her? From tomorrow onwards, Iâll accompany Auntie Lan and keep an eye on her as well.â
It seemed that everyone was observing Lin Nan today. No wonder!
I said hurriedly, âI think Ye Qian is right. Thereâs no need to be too nervous. Sheâs interested in me. Itâs probably because Iâll be the first person she sees after she wakes up, right?
âItâs just like how a small animal recognizes its mother. I donât think itâs a good idea to let her pester Auntie Lan. All of you have your own jobs, and Iâm the only one who has nothing to do. Why donât I bring her along? I also want to see if sheâs faking it or not. Iâll also have something to do. Even if sheâs faking it, itâs not dangerous for me. She canât beat me in a fight, and she canât poison me. Itâs better for her to be interested in me than Jing Tian, right?â
I shot Jing Tian a sideways glance.
Jing Tian frowned. âYou must be joking!â
I leaned on his shoulder, and I smiled at the crowd. âItâs settled then. You guys go about your business. Remember your tasks. Donât go overboard. Iâve found something for myself to do. You donât have to worry about it anymore! Disperse! Okay?â
When I returned to my room, Jing Tian immediately hugged me in his arms.
I wrapped my arms around his waist and smiled. âWhy? Are you afraid that Lin Nan will harm me?â
Jing Tian gently stroked my back. âNanxing, with me around, no one can harm you!â
I smiled. âOf course. I have master Qi protecting me!â
Jing Tianâs hand paused for a moment. He suddenly used more force.
My heart skipped a beat. I pushed him away immediately. âOh, I forgot. I asked Tong Yan to make a medicine for me. I donât know if sheâs done yet. I have to go and take a look!â
I ran out of the door and turned around. âYou should go back first! Weâll stay up late. Have a good rest. Iâll come and find you tomorrow!â
I ran away with a smile.
I knew that Jing Tian had fallen in love with her, but I didnât want to tell him about the child yet, and I couldnât hurt the baby. I had no choice but to run away!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the future, I had more time to spend with Jing Tian anyway!
