Hello??? He was almost strangled to death and she told him not to care about it? She even thought of him as someone annoying.

  He had worried so much about her on his way here. And she was only giving him trouble since the moment he had met her.

  “My lady, I know you want to kill Tang Yun. But are you trying to kill me too?” Mu Qing shook his head helplessly. Unfortunately, his mind was Zhao Anan’s slave. He felt happy even when he was tormented by her.

  “Tang Yun will die sooner or later. But she is still of some use at the moment. So she mustn’t die now. But there will be many chances for you to torment her as long as she doesn’t die. If you can get her to open her mouth, then you might achieve something.”


  “Really?”


  Zhao Anan immediately became cheerful. She soon forgot about the bloody scene from a moment ago. Instead, she started to think of all methods to attack Tang Yun.

  Zheng Jing was startled at the sight of Mu Qing, who was carrying Zhao Anan and walking towards him.

  As far as he remembered, Mu Qing and Zhao Anan were a sweet but angry couple who kept quarrelling with each other every single day. It was rare to see Zhao Anan stay in Mu Qing’s arms quietly.

  They looked like a couple deeply in love.

  Zheng Jing suddenly was reminded of his sister. He wanted to hug her when there was no one around.

  Mu Qing put down Zhao Anan as walked to Zheng Jing’s side.

  Seeing Zheng Jing standing there alone and Jing Yichen’s car gone, he suddenly realized that Jing Yichen had deserted them once again.

  Well, taxi then……

  Jing Yichen urged Tiger to drive faster.

  Tiger was sure that he had never driven a car so fast, but his master still complained about the speed.

  When they returned to Landscape Compound, Jing Yichen opened the door, carried Shangguan Ning into the elevator and took her into the bedroom straight away.

  Shangguan Ning was nauseous. She felt much better after she laid down in bed, finally.

  Jing Yichen looked unprecedentedly nervous as he held her tightly in his arms.

  Although Mu Qing had said that Shangguan Ning and the baby were fine, yet he was still anxious and agonized seeing Shangguan Ning suffering so much.

  “Ning, are you okay? Should we go to the hospital? How are you feeling?”


  A series of questions showed how uneasy he was.

  Shangguan Ning held his hands and replied, “Don’t worry, I am fine, just a bit nauseated, maybe because I am pregnant.”


  Or maybe because the scene from earlier had affected her.

  But Shangguan Ning didn’t say anything more. She didn’t want Jing Yichen to worry about her.

  But Jing Yichen wasn’t a gullible man.

  Shangguan Ning had not experienced morning sickness before. How was it possible that she suddenly got it?

  Jing Yichen wanted to say something when Shangguan Ning said, “Yichen, I feel a bit sick, can you carry me to take a bath?”


  She was still concerned about the blood she had seen, fearing that the violence might be bad for the child. She just wanted to cleanse herself.

  Jing Yichen agreed instantly. He carried her into the bathroom.

  After the shower, Shangguan Ning felt much better dressed in a set of clean and soft PJs.

  Jing Yichen also got changed and laid down with Shangguan Ning, taking her into his arms.

  He kept kissing her as he said to her apologetically, “Sorry that you were frightened today, Ning, it is my fault. I should have been by your side at the time.”


  Shangguan Ning shook head and said softly, “I am happy that you are by my side right now. I am not scared. I know that you can’t be by my side all the time. I don’t want to become your burden. I can take care of myself. It was a dangerous incident today, but let bygones be bygones. I was not scared. I just wanted to keep our baby well so he wouldn’t get hurt.”


  This was her first baby with Jing Yichen. They were looking forward to seeing him. Shangguan Ning was fearless with him around.

  Maybe that was what a mother was like.

  Her mother had kept her safe despite her situation. She chose to kill herself and let her daughter live.

  Shangguan Ning finally understood how her mother would have felt then.

  She didn’t blame Jing Yichen. He had his own matters to attend to and what he faced was much more dangerous.

  Shangguan Ning was certain about one thing after this incident.

  “Yichen, teach me how to shoot, or wrestle. I want to learn it for self defense.”


  Shangguan Ning sounded gentle, but she was determined.

  Jing Yichen got both gratified and heartbroken. He blamed himself for making the situation such that Shangguan Ning now had to learn these life skills.

  With tears in his eyes, he said hoarsely, “Okay, I will teach you if you want to learn them. But I hope you don’t have to use them in the future. I will deal with all the dangers and your world, our baby’s world, will be safe. I promise you, my baby!”


  His heart ached so much for Shangguan Ning today.

  He claimed to be powerful and strong, but he still had got Shangguan Ning into the danger zone.

  Yang Muyan was much fiercer than he had imagined. She seemed to have a well devised plan. She had gathered all their enemies and made plans according to each of their personalities.

  She must have started the preparations a long time ago. Some of his men had been bought off by her, otherwise today’s situation would not have happened.

  Yang Muyan must die!

  Shangguan Ning looked up and kissed Jing Yichen’s chin and smiled slightly. “Yichen, me and the baby will never back off. We will always support you no matter what you do. If your world is full of blood bath, we will keep you company alongside. We are not scared with you around.”


  She didn’t want Jing Yichen to be burdened with everything. Though he was powerful and capable but they were in this marriage together. Jing Yichen didn’t want anything to happen to her, so did she.

  She would rather face all the troubles and difficulties together. She would not want to taste the peace alone.

  Moved, Jing Yichen took hold of Shangguan Ning as a smile hovered on his lips. “Silly girl, I do what I should do. You are my woman. If I can’t give you happiness and a steady life, then my life’s a failure.”
