When Ruan Qi heard the man suddenly mention marriage, she asked with a choked voice, âHow to get married? I donât even have my household register with me.â
âHere, we can register our marriage with our passports.â
The man knelt on both knees, held her hand and lowered his head to kiss the back of it as he said with devout eyes, âRuan Qi, marry me.1
Ruan Qi stared at him blankly to make sure that he was not joking.
Suddenly, she cried out in pain and held her stomach.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âMy, my stomach hurts.â
Ruan Qiâs face turned pale as she held his arm tightly. Song Zhouâs heart was in his mouth.
âIâll take you to a hospital now. Donât be afraid. Donât worry.
He scooped her up and almost fell as his body swayed from nervousness.
âSong Zhou, Brother Song Zhou, donât leave me behind.â Mi Qing crawled over, grabbed Song Zhouâs arm, and begged loudly.
âBrother Song Zhou, I donât mind you being with another woman. I can be your
woman too.â
Song Zhou laughed in exasperation and looked at her as if she was crazy. âMi
Qing, let go. I donât have time for your games.â
âIâm not playing games, Brother Song Zhou.â
Mi Qing cried and complained, âYour young master, Mr. Chen has ruined my career. I have nothing now. I donât know where to go if I donât follow you.â
âOver here, itâs normal for a man to have a few women. Brother Song Zhou, I wonât fight with her for your love and attention. Iâll do whatever you want me to do, but I want to be your woman.â
Ruan Qi was so angry when she heard Mi Qing that she bit Song Zhouâs arm.
She did not want him to be bewitched by Mi Qing again.
Song Zhou glanced at her and whispered, âDonât bite too hard. The bones will
hurt your teeth.â
Ruan Qi let go of his arm. She did not want to bite him. She just wanted to remind him not to fall for Mi Qingâs nonsense again.
Song Zhou looked up at Mi Qing with disgust.
âScram!â
âYou never considered my feelings since the day you got engaged to me. You just used me because you saved my life. You didnât even allow me to interfere in your love life.â
âWhat you want isnât me, but my money.â
âNo, no, Brother Song Zhou, I didnât do any of that. It was Jack. Jack designed
the whole thing.â
Mi Qing pushed all the blame away, hoping desperately to reconcile with Song
Zhou.
Song Zhouâs eyes were red as he said, âNow that Iâve found a woman I love who loves me, I want to marry her. As for you, I have nothing but disgust for you!â
Mi Qing continued to cry and insisted that things werenât like that.
âQiqi, Song Zhou!â
Tang Beibei ran over and widened her eyes in shock when she saw Song Zhou carrying Ruan Qi, whose pants were stained with blood.
âQiqi, where are you injured?â
âI, Iâm not injured. Itâs just that my stomach hurts.â
Tang Beibei held her hand. It was very cold.
She tried to take Ruan Qiâs pulse, but she did not know if it was because she didnât feel it correctly or if she had made a mistake. She stared at Ruan Qi in shock.
She wiped her hands, checked the blood on her pants, and tried to take her pulse again.
She felt the same pulse.
âRuan Qi, are you pregnant?â
Ruan Qi looked horrified. âH-how is that possible? Song Zhou and Iâ¦â
Song Zhou was surprised and delighted. âReally?â
â â Iâm not sure, but Ruan Qi is bleeding. It doesnât look good. She needs to go to a hospital.â
When Song Zhou heard that Ruan Qi might be pregnant, he was ecstatic yet helpless. He was walking out carrying Ruan Qi when Mi Qing grabbed him again.
âBrother Song Zhouâ¦â
She looked weak and pitiful, but her grip on his arm was strong.
She used to think that Song Zhou was not a man and despised him for it. Now that he could get Ruan Qi pregnant, it meant that he could do that kind of thing.
She had even more reason now not to let him go.
If she were to get pregnant with Song Zhouâs child, he would have to give her half his assets.
Song Zhou was worried about Ruan Qiâs health and kicked Mi Qing away when she tried to stop him again.
âYou saved my life back then, and Iâve repaid you.â
âIf you havenât grabbed Ruan Qi when you fell, she wouldnât have been injured.
If anything happens to her, I wonât let you off!â
Mi Qing refused to give up. If she let Song Zhou go, her life would be a hundred times tougher. How could she bear to let him go?
âIf something happens to her and she canât have children, I can help you. Brother Song Zhou, Iâm beautiful and capable. Youâ¦â
Tang Beibei couldnât take it anymore. She went forward to pull Mi Qing away and told Song Zhou to leave quickly.
âGet lost!â Mi Qing cursed angrily and tried to push Tang Beibei away.
This b*tch was obstructing her future.
âAh!â
As soon as Mi Qing finished speaking, she was kicked into the pond.
Jiang Jingchen rotated his ankle and sneered.
âIf you want to get lost, Iâll grant you your wish.â
Mi Qing knew how to swim, so she swam desperately back to shore. Just as she was about to go ashore, she was kicked into the water by Ji Yi again.
âWater suits you better.â
âYou! This is murder!â Mi Qing roared angrily. She no longer kept the weak facade she had in front of Song Zhou.
âWe are murdering you!â
Ji Yi sneered. âJack found such a remote place, and you came here so quietly. If we killed you here and threw you into the pond, no one would find you.â
Mi Qing was so scared that she kept retreating.
Onshore, Jiang Jingchen walked up to Tang Beibei and asked, âShe didnât hurt you, did she?â
âIâm fine. Letâs go see Song Zhou and Qiqi â
âOkay.â
Jiang Jingchen took her hand and turned to leave.
âNo, no, Mr. Chen, donât kill me!â Mi Qing begged for mercy.
The two of them did not stop walking. When Tang Beibei got into the car, she asked in confusion, âDonât kill her. If you kill someone and get found out, itâs illegal. Just teach her a lesson.â
Jiang Jingchen chuckled and pinched her cheek. âYouâre overthinking. Why would I kill someone? Iâm so kind.â
âOh, thatâs good.â Tang Beibei heaved a sigh of relief.
Jiang Jingchen turned to ask Ji Yi, âWould you kill someone?â
Ji Yi hesitated. How was he supposed to answer?
Was his Mr. Chen kind?
âJi Yi, we are good people, we canât kill people.â Jiang Jingchen hinted.
Ji Yi nodded respectfully and sent a message to his subordinate.
âTake care of that womanâs body properly.â
Shortly after, Han Yun got into the car. His body was a little dirty, and he looked angry.
âThis Jack is really cunning. He actually managed to escape.
After Jack threw Mi Qing into the water to stall Song Zhou, he fled. Han Yun s men were guarding the periphery, but he still escaped.
It was a risk to them when such a person escaped.
Han Yun was still thinking about how Jack had taken away 100 million USD. Although it was not a lot, it was still money. His heart ached.
His friendâs money had been stolen in his territory. He felt very embarrassed! Jiang Jingchen said, âYoung Master Han, keep up the good work.â
When Han Yun heard Jiang Jingchenâs obvious taunt, his mouth twitched. Jiang Jingchen was mocking him for not being able to catch one man after mobilizing so many men.
When they arrived at the hospital, Tang Beibei went to the emergency room to find Song Zhou.
Song Zhouâs eyes were bloodshot, and his face was filled with pain.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âThey said that Ruan Qi is having a miscarriage. Sheâll lose the baby.â Song Zhou said in a choking voice.
Tang Beibei clenched her fists. âHer pulse is weak, but itâs not to the extent that sheâll lose the baby.â
Song Zhou turned to look at her expectantly. âTang Beibei, do you have a solution?â
âI, I, I donât have a solution yet.â
Tang Beibei had never encountered such a situation before. Besides, she had only read a few pages on gynecology and only had general knowledge.
Thud!
Song Zhou suddenly knelt on the floor. Tang Beibei took a step back in shock. âSong Zhou, what are you doing?â
