She did not say anything. Gu Xici pressed in a slightly tight voice, “Ah Yan can really come back?”

Lin Qingqian’s eyes flickered slightly as she placed her palm on her abdomen and said in a low voice, “I have to give it a try. Otherwise, how can I be willing?”

Her raised eyes were filled with determination as she looked at him.

Gu Xici took a deep breath and nodded slowly. “I understand. No matter what decision you make, I will respect and support it. I believe Lu Qinshang will do the same.”

Lin Qingqian’s pale lips curved slightly. “Thank you.”

‘You’re welcome.” Gu Xici stood up and said, “I still have something on, so I’ll go back to the police station first. Call me if there’s anything.”

In the evening, Suisui and Han Liubai received the news and rushed to the hospital to visit her and Song Qin.

Suisui’s facial features were about to squeeze together. She said in a soft voice, “Qianqian, are you trying to scare me to death? Why are you in the hospital again?!”

Lin Qingqian held her hand and smiled faintly. “Aren’t I fine? Don’t worry!” After a pause, she looked at Han Liubai. “Have you seen Song Qin? How is she?”

Han Liubai said gently, “She’s already awake. I’ve arranged for a nurse to take care of her. Don’t worry about her. Rest well.”

When Lin Qingqian found out that Song Qin had woken up, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Fortunately, Song Qin was there this time.”

Otherwise, not to mention whether she could survive, the child would definitely be lost.

Suisui held her hand tightly and said angrily, “Did that bastard do it?”

“We’ve already called the police to deal with it. I believe the police will catch the culprit soon!” Lin Qingqian did not want to implicate Suisui and the others, so she did not mention Jiang Xiao Jiu and Ming Xiao.

However, even if she did not say it, Han Liubai could guess it. His eyes were filled with worry and uneasiness.

“Song Qin needs to rest well these few days. I’ll have to trouble you with the company’s matters.” Lin Qingqian changed the topic.

Han Liubai nodded. “Don’t worry with us around!”

The three of them chatted briefly before Jiang Yunshen walked in with a black luggage. It was all the daily necessities and dinner that the auntie had packed.

Suisui and Han Liubai didn’t stay long. They stood up and left.

Lin Qingqian didn’t have an appetite, but when she thought of the child in her stomach, she forced herself to eat a few mouthfuls, washed up, and lay down to sleep.

It was not good for Jiang Yunshen to accompany her, so he found a nurse and asked her to take care of Lin Qingqian before leaving the hospital.

After Lin Qingqian fell asleep, the door of the ward was gently pushed open. Han Liubai stood at the end of the bed and looked at her sleeping appearance, his gentle eyes filled with infatuation.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The surroundings were terrifyingly quiet. When Ming Xiao’s blindfold was taken off, the dazzling light made her instinctively close her eyes.

After a few seconds, she felt that she had adapted. When she slowly opened her eyes, the handsome face that greeted her eyes shocked her. “Jiang, Yan, Shen! ”

Tonight, she was attending a fashion party. As soon as she walked out, she was kidnapped before she could get into the car.

She originally thought that it was a regular kidnapping, but she did not expect the person who kidnapped her to be Jiang Yanshen.

Jiang Yanshen leaned back in his chair impudently, his fingers tapped on his legs without any rhythm. His long eyes flickered with a demonic light, and his thin lips curled into a faint smile.

“Why did you kidnap me?” Ming Xiao wanted to move, but unfortunately, her hands and feet were tied up, so she could only glare at him angrily.

“Don’t you know why I kidnapped you?” His thin lips moved, and his cold voice was filled with mockery.

Ming Xiao’s gaze changed slightly. Before she could answer, Jiang Yanshen quickly stood up and raised his hand to slap her.

Her face was slapped to the side, and her ears rang. Soon, there was the taste of blood in her mouth.

Jiang Yanshen grabbed her chin without pity and pulled it over. His voice was cold. “Who the f*ck allowed you to touch Lin Qingqian?”

Ming Xiao had never suffered such humiliation since she was young. For a moment, all her etiquette and patience were gone. Her red lips curled up slightly. “Jiang Yanshen, you actually dared to hit me!”

She pursed her lips and spoke, her white teeth still stained with blood.

Disdain flashed across Jiang Yanshen’s dark eyes. “I’m hitting you. I’ve already warned you not to provoke me. I hate women who act smart the most.”

Ming Xiao’s chin was almost crushed by him. Her face was pale from the pain, and cold sweat seeped out from her temples. Her voice was mixed with a hint of bitterness. “Jiang Yanshen, I’m the eldest daughter of the Ming Corporation. So what if I touch Lin Qingqian?

“Are you going to kill me for Lin Qingqian? You still don’t admit that you’ve already fallen in love with her?”

At the thought that even this demon had fallen in love with Lin Qingqian, Ming Xiao’s rationality was already swallowed by extreme emotions like anger, jealousy, and hatred.

Jiang Yanshen’s thin lips curled up slightly. “Why would I kill someone?” He let go of her chin and his fingertips slowly moved down her face from her forehead.

Ming Xiao met his malicious and cold gaze and a chill rose from the bottom of her heart and instantly spread to her limbs.

“Then what exactly do you want to do?” Ming Xiao, whose lipstick was already smudged, took a deep breath. As she spoke, half of her face hurt.

“I heard that Miss Ming is especially afraid of spiders, so I specially asked Fang Wu to find a few for you.”

The moment his low and cold voice sounded, the blood on Ming Xiao’s face drained completely. There was only panic and fear left in her angry eyes.

“No, don’t…”

Before she could finish speaking, Fang Wu walked in with a transparent glass box. She could clearly see dense spiders inside, each the size of a thumbnail.

“Go away, don’t come over… Don’t touch me!” Ming Xiao was so frightened that she immediately turned her head away, not daring to look. Tears welled up in her eyes.

The more afraid she was, the deeper the smile on Jiang Yanshen’s lips. He said casually, “I heard that you liked to treat your classmates like this when you were in school. You must have been very happy back then, right? Why are you so afraid now?”

Ming Xiao could no longer hear what he said clearly and only shouted, “Jiang

Yanshen, quickly get him to take them away. Take them away…”

Jiang Yanshen pretended not to hear her. His thin lips moved as he said coldly, “Don’t worry, these spiders aren’t poisonous nor do they bite people. They’re all other people’s pets.”

He turned his head and gave Fang Wu a look. Fang Wu opened the box and poured all the spiders on Ming Xiao.

Ming Xiao let out a sharp and desolate voice. She did not calm down because of Jiang Yanshen’s words. Instead, she became even more agitated.

She struggled desperately, and the legs of the chair crushed several spiders to death…

Jiang Yanshen frowned slightly and looked down at the corpses of the spiders with a regretful expression. “Tsk tsk, these are all their treasures, but you killed them just like that. What a pity.”

Although he said that, his eyes were cold.

“Ah! I’ll kill you…” Ming Xiao broke down and cried as she gritted her teeth.

“Jiang Yanshen, you demon… You’ll die a horrible death. You’ll go to hell…”

Fang Wu shouted coldly, “Shut up!”

Jiang Yanshen didn’t care about her scolding and sneered. “Stay here and accompany these little cuties for the night. Someone will send you back tomorrow morning.”

With that, he turned around and left.

Fang Wu followed him out of the room and heard Jiang Yanshen’s cold voice say, “Keep an eye on her and don’t let anything happen to her. I don’t want anyone to invite me to tea tomorrow.”

“Sir, don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to Miss Ming,” Fang Wu promised in a cold voice.

Jiang Yanshen nodded in satisfaction and left first.

Fang Wu turned his head to look at the collapsed Ming Xiao in the room. Although the spiders were harmless and did not hurt anyone, to those who were afraid of them, this was undoubtedly a death sentence.

He had learned this move from Miss Ming. It could be said that he was returning the favor.

The hospital at night was especially quiet and deserted. The smell of disinfectant in the air seemed to be several times stronger than in the day.

Of the two nurses at the nurse’s station, one had her head lowered as she swiped her cell phone, and the other was dozing off. They didn’t even notice Jiang Yanshen walking past them.

Jiang Yanshen walked to the door of the ward and slowed down. He slowly pushed open the door and saw the woman lying on the bed sleeping soundly.

His cold eyebrows slowly relaxed as he walked to the bed and sat down. His black eyes stared at her palm-sized face, and his tightly pursed lips relaxed.

She looked no different from a few years ago. She was still fair and tender, and there were not even any wrinkles on her flawless skin. Her clear and clean aura was like that of an 18-year-old.

If he hadn’t given control to Jiang Yan back then, what would it be like now?

Once thoughts were born from the bottom of one’s heart, they turned into an obsession, eventually becoming a demon.

Jiang Yanshen slowly reached out to hold her hand, and the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly.

If he had been by her side all these years, they would be married now and have several children.

Fortunately, it was not too late. They still had many years to be together.

As long as she listened obediently, he would not mistreat her…

Lin Qingqian was in a daze and vaguely felt someone sitting by the bed. When she narrowed her eyes and saw Jiang Yanshen, she was shocked.

Jiang Yanshen did not expect her to wake up at this time. He quickly let go of her hand and his gaze changed slightly as he looked elsewhere.

Lin Qingqian was frightened by him and did not notice that he was holding her hand just now. She took a few deep breaths to calm her emotions and said in a gentle voice, “Why are you here?”

Jiang Yanshen also regained his usual profligate and devilish appearance. “Of course I’m here to visit my wife and son.”

Lin Qingqian frowned and said with conflicting emotions, “I don’t need you to visit me. Go back.”

“How can that do!” Jiang Yanshen smiled, the light in his eyes lessening. “We’re legally married. Pregnancy isn’t your problem alone. I naturally have to take care of you. ”

Lin Qingqian frowned slightly. Before she could speak, she heard him say, “I’ve already resolved the matter. No one will find trouble with you in the future.”

His voice paused as he looked at her disdainfully. “As for the slap you gave me,

I won’t hold it against you. Don’t do it again.”

“You’ve resolved it?” Lin Qingqian was suspicious.. “It really wasn’t you?”
