  He also instructed the kitchen to cook a bowl of ginger soup for her.

  Tan Bengbeng went into the washroom and realized that she was indeed spotting. She wasn’t sure if she should be relieved or should sigh about it.

  She simply collected herself and even when she had returned to the room, she still felt an uncomfortable sensation in her stomach.

  She lay down on the bed and had no strength to get up even when the assistant came in with the bowl of ginger soup.

  Her physical constitution was excellent, and she had never been in such a state before.

  This feeling was as if something was detaching from her body.

  For some inexplicable reason, it made her chest feel rather stuffy.

  When the assistant left, she lay in bed for a long while and only got up to lock the door when her pain had subsided.

  She pushed the sofa and positioned it right against the door.

  Only when she ensured that Qi Yan was unable to enter her room did she go back to bed assuredly.

  Moments after she lay down, she fell into a deep slumber…


  Meanwhile, at the other end of the cruiser.

  Qi Yan was sitting before the bar counter leisurely swirling a cup of red wine in his hand.

  Upon seeing his assistant approach him, he cast a side glance.

  “How is she?”


  His assistant replied, “Ms. Tan looks much better. I’ve placed the bowl of ginger soup in her room.”


  Upon hearing that she was fine, Qi Yan raised his wine glass and emptied it in one shot.

  He rarely drank wine because there was rarely anything that made him unable to rest assured and drown his sorrows in alcohol.

  But, Tan Bengbeng made him experience this feeling of helplessness.

  This feeling was… very unfamiliar to him.

  Qi Yan looked up and asked, “Have you checked on Nian Xiaomu’s background?”


  The assistant respectfully reported back to him, “I’ve only obtained part of her background information. I couldn’t find any information about Nian Xiaomu before she was twenty. I only know that she came to City H three years ago and was severely injured. It was Ms. Tan who found her outside the hospital. That means that Ms. Tan is considered her savior. Later on, Nian Xiaomu entered the Yu Family villa to work and came to know Young Master Han, which was how they got together…”


  After his assistant was done reporting, Qi Yan’s brows started to furrow.

  Nian Xiaomu’s background couldn’t possibly be that simple.

  From what he knew, the Tan family was full of doctors and as he had speculated, Tan Bengbeng was a doctor.

  However, from the moment Qi Yan had seen Tan Bengbeng’s background information, it became clear to him that the status as a doctor was only her disguise.

  Given her skillful moves and high vigilance, she was definitely no ordinary doctor.

  Furthermore, seeing how anxious she was over Nian Xiaomu and hell-bent to return to her side, he speculated that Tan Bengbeng wanted to go back to protect Nian Xiaomu. Then, that meant that Nian Xiaomu was no ordinary person either.

  “Right, something else! Nian Xiaomu seems to be related to the Mo Family. When our men went to find out news about Nian Xiaomu, we realized that the Mo Family had people spy on our men. They were keeping a lookout for news of her as well!”


  The assistant added.

  Hearing this, Qi Yan’s eyes abruptly narrowed as he asked, “You’re talking about the Mo Family from City N?”


  His assistant replied, “Yes. The Mo Family has secluded themselves for many years. In recent years, the Mo Family’s business has been declining, but they have not made much movement at all. I felt that it was rather strange, so I asked around and found out that it’s Mo Qian’s idea for Nian Xiaomu to be spied on.”


  “Mo Family, Mo Qian…”


  Qi Yan muttered in a low voice, a strange gaze flashing in his devilish eyes.

  Just as he was about to find Tan Bengbeng to have a talk, he returned to his room only to tragically find that he had been locked out.

  The worst thing was, he could not bear to wake up the sick person inside the room and could only sullenly find another room to sleep in.

  The following day, he woke up at the break of dawn, filled with a grievance from yesterday.

  Unexpectedly, there were a few people who woke up as early as he did…


  “Master, Young Master Han and Miss Nian are here!”
