For the following days, their relationship was very stable.

  Xiao Yi was busy opening the next chain store, while Xu Che was still busy on Sheng Xiao’s side. The two of them never forced each other to be in touch all the time. If they missed each other, they would take the initiative to call each other and say, “I miss you.”.

  At night, the two of them would cook together. Occasionally, when they were in the mood, they would have a good time in the kitchen.

  Xiao Yi really liked the space and freedom that Xu Che gave her, because it represented Xu Che’s absolute trust.

  From time to time, Xiao Yi would bring cake to Little Ludan. Xu Che’s big brother would also indirectly inquire when the two of them planned to settle down.

  Xiao Yi didn’t want Brother Xu to misunderstand Xu Che, so she took the initiative to explain that it was her with the issue.

  She hoped that Brother Xu would give her some time to have the courage to believe in marriage.

  As the girl was so honest, Brother Xu didn’t say much. He just advised her not to think too long, because some things could only be known after experiencing it.

  Xiao Yi understood that, but she just couldn’t muster up the courage. However, there were many times when she had the urge to register with Xu Che immediately.

  It was winter again, and the little princess of the Sheng family was about to turn four.

  Mu Qiqi had long called to urge Xiao Yi. The party was about to start, so why wasn’t she here yet?

  During this time, Xiao Yi had many branches in Jianchuan. She was already a rich woman, but because of this, she was much busier. Sometimes, she would arrive home at one or two in the morning.

  Xiao Yi naturally wouldn’t miss the little princess’ birthday party. After apologizing to Mu Qiqi over the phone, she immediately packed her things and left the house.

  However, just as she put on her coat and took her keys out of the door, she saw a familiar figure.

  “Xiao Yi…… Save me.” The person directly knelt in front of Xiao Yi with a plop.

  Xiao Yi was a little shocked because she never thought that she would actually see this person again. It was Mo An Nan.

  “I’m deep in debt now, and I have nowhere else to go.”


  Xiao Yi put on her clothes and then coldly called for the security guard. “Do as you see fit. I still have things to do, so I’ll leave first.”


  Xiao Yi had almost no emotions after seeing him. Perhaps, Xu Che had long since healed the pain in her heart.

  With that said, Xiao Yi took her bag and was about to leave, but Mo An Nan took out a dagger from his pocket and pointed it at his neck, threatening Xiao Yi. “If you don’t help me today, I’ll die in your shop.”


  Xiao Yi looked at Mo An Nan’s childish actions and sneered. She shook her head. “Fine, consider it punishment for being blind back then.” With that, she took out her phone and dialed for the police.

  Mo An Nan was shocked when he saw this because he didn’t expect Xiao Yi to be so cold-hearted.

  “You can die here. I’ll call the police and they will come to collect your body.”


  With that, Xiao Yi put away her phone and turned around. Just then, Xu Che pushed open the door and entered. At that critical moment, Xu Che suddenly reached out to hug Xiao Yi tightly and quickly turned around.

  The tip of Mo An Nan’s knife tore through Xu Che’s jacket. Bright red blood immediately flowed out.

  “Xu Che!”


  After Xu Che helped Xiao Yi steady herself, he comforted her. “It’s okay. It’s just a superficial wound.”


  Seeing this, the security guard quickly stepped forward and stopped Mo An Nan.

  “I called you just now, but you didn’t pick up. I just wanted to tell you about this. This scumbag slept with the club owner’s woman. Now, not only has he been kicked out of the club, but he’s also in debt.”


  After hearing Xu Che’s explanation, Xiao Yi immediately said anxiously, “What does this have to do with me? I’m worried about you.”


  Xu Che took a look at his wound and stroked Xiao Yi’s hair. “It’s really just a small wound. I’ll send you to the Banyan Courtyard first. Leave this to me.”


  Xiao Yi took a deep breath and nodded. “I’ll agree to your arrangement, but you have to bandage your wound first. Let me take a look at it.”


  The waiter in the shop quickly fetched the first aid kit.

  Xu Che couldn’t win against Xiao Yi, so he took off his jacket to let her see the wound. Unexpectedly, in just a few minutes, blood had dyed his shirt red.

  “How can you say it’s just a small wound? It’s almost bone-deep.” Xiao Yi immediately burst into tears.

  “You’re my girlfriend. If I don’t protect you, who will?” Xu Che sat on the chair without so much as a frown as he watched Xiao Yi press on his wound.

  At this moment, Xiao Yi was silent.

  After she had bandaged him, she hugged Xu Che tightly.

  Because she suddenly understood something.

  Whether a marriage was happy or not, the key was the person one married.

  Xu Che and that scumbag were like heaven and earth. So, she didn’t know what she was hesitating about.

  “I’ll drive myself to the party. Your arm needs to rest for now.”


  “Then be careful on the road. I’ll come over immediately after I’m done here.” Xu Che didn’t try to put on a brave front, because he knew that Xiao Yi would be worried.

  Xiao Yi nodded and helped Xu Che put on his clothes. Then, she picked up her bag again and left the shop.

  When she walked out of the shop, she even deliberately turned her head to look at Mo An Nan, who was pressed to the ground.

  If he dared to hurt Xu Che, she would find the best lawyer and make him regret it for the rest of his life……

  Afraid that Xu Che would cause a commotion when he arrived at the banquet, Xiao Yi immediately drove home to fetch clean clothes for Xu Che.

  However, after entering the door, she felt her stomach churn. She had felt slightly uncomfortable just now when she saw the blood, and now she was in the bathroom vomiting.

  She had been like this for the past few days.

  After Xiao Yi finished throwing up, she looked up at herself in the mirror.

  A thought suddenly flashed through her mind. Perhaps……

  Was she with child?

  Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Yi rushed out of the bathroom and went to a nearby pharmacy to buy a pregnancy kit.

  Upon returning home, she immediately opened the packaging and placed all the products she bought from the pharmacy on the sink. There were ten of them.

  A minute later, the pregnancy kit gave her the answer. There were two distinct horizontal lines. She was pregnant?

  At that moment, Xiao Yi’s emotions were very complicated.

  It was because she was clearly not prepared to welcome a new life. She couldn’t even muster the courage to get married.

  But now, she was actually pregnant?

  Did she hate this feeling? Actually, she didn’t. That was why Xiao Yi subconsciously stroked her flat lower abdomen. It was at this place where her child would be born. It was with Xu Che.

  Not long after, Xu Che called to ask where she was. Xiao Yi immediately put away all the pregnancy kits and told Xu Che that she went home to get clean clothes for him.

  She didn’t tell Xu Che immediately because she knew that being pregnant meant that she had to get married.

  But she wasn’t ready yet. She needed to think about it and let herself digest the news first.
