Her fingers ached a bit being held by his hands so tightly. But she was startled by his behavior.

  Shangguan Ning stood up and buried her head into his arms. She said softly, “It is my fault! I have caused you enough worries. Don’t be angry, Yichen, I will protect myself better. Me and the baby will both be fine. I will stay by your side. I was also scared about what happened just now. It was good that Anan didn’t allow me to step forward, otherwise I could have been injured as well. I was overconfident and impulsive. Please forgive me, I will never do that again. Don’t be angry, I am not feeling well at the moment.”


  Jing Yichen took Shangguan Ning into his arms. Hearing that she was apologizing to him like this, he also felt guilty to have gotten so furious just now.

  She must have gotten frightened by what happened just now.

  He should have consoled her rather than get angry at her.

  “Alright, I won’t be mad anymore. As long as you and the baby are fine, I won’t be angry.”


  Jing Yichen tried to rein in his emotions. He kissed Shangguan Ning’s forehead and said hoarsely, “But you have to promise me to never go to any dangerous place or get close to any dangerous people. I will handle all that needs to be taken care of. What you need to do is to stay safe and tell lots of stories to our unborn baby.”


  Shangguan Ning nodded and tears filled her eyes. “Okay.”


  What happened had been dangerous and shocked her as well. She knew pretty well how fierce Shangguan Rouxue could get.

  Luckily, she had kept her distance from Shangguan Rouxue and Tang Yun, otherwise the consequence might have been more serious.

  If her child had been injured because of her carelessness, she would have felt very guilty. That was why she understood why Jing Yichen had gotten so furious. She was also angry at herself for making such a huge mistake.

  But Shangguan Rouxue had run away. She was not sure if that was a good or a bad thing.

  “Yichen, Shangguan Rouxue has escaped. We still don’t know who is helping her.”


  Jing Yichen patted Shangguan Ning’s unkempt hair. He treated her as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.

  “It is okay. I know who is helping and supporting her. Leave all of these things to me. Don’t worry. They are aiming at Family Jing, not at you, so you are relatively safe. But you are pregnant with Family Jing’s offspring, my offspring, so they will try their best to stop the child from being born.”


  Shangguan Ning frowned and looked furious. “I will definitely give birth to our baby safely. These people will not get what they want.”


  Having said the words, she said in distress all of a sudden, “So Shangguan Rouxue and Tang Yun were always aiming at the baby? Good that Anan and Lu were there, something bad would have happened if I had been alone.”


  Jing Yichen chuckled and then said softly as he held her palm sized face, “Alright, no more thinking. Just stay safe. Now, you are not alone.”


  As for Shangguan Rouxue, Jing Yichen was not going to let her slip away so easily.

  She was in cahoots with Jing Yiran and Tang Yun and also had a deep connection with Yang Muyan, so she was a big threat. She was more dangerous rather than worth any value.

  But since she was Yang Muyan’s girl, then Yang Muyan could deal with her on her own.

  Jing Yichen sneered inside his heart. He was going to do Yang Muyan a favor and it seemed that she was going to get very furious.

  Seeing that Jing Yichen was no longer so annoyed, Shangguan Ning pleaded as she tugged his sleeves, “Honey, I want to see Anan, I am not sure how badly she is hurt. She bled so heavily just now, and it was so scary. Her face had turned white, I am worried about her……”


  Jing Yichen knew that she was asking him for a favor when she called him “honey”. She only did that when she was pleading to him.

  He felt helpless. She still wanted to go and visit Zhao Anan after whatever he had said.

  “Anan is my cousin, of course I get worried when she is injured.” Jing Yichen bit Shangguan Ning’s lips as a punishment. Well, whichever method he might use on her as punishment, he would hurt himself. So he had to bite her to warn her off.

  “But I mean it when I said that she won’t die. Mu Qing is here. She is just slightly injured. He can get help her recover even if she is seriously injured.”


  “Yes, I know Doctor Mu is a skilled doctor, but I can’t be assured. I need to see her. Also, she is my best friend. How can I not visit her when she is injured?”


  Jing Yichen got angry when she said those words. He didn’t want Zhao Anan to get injured, either. She was his only cousin after all and he needed to keep he safe.

  But what Shangguan Ning didn’t know was that Zhao Anan had been landing into trouble ever since she was young. She often broke her legs or arms and was too scared to go home after a good fight. Then her cousin, Jing Yichen, would be the one who took her in.

  So Jing Yichen was used to that.

  If Zhao Anan had known what Jing Yichen thought, she would blame him for not caring for her after getting a wife. Shangguan Ning was not hurt at all and he was so nervous about her. But she had bled so badly and he felt nothing.

  Finally, Jing Yichen nodded at Shangguan Ning and took her to meet Zhao Anan.

  The emergency room of Family Mu’s Hospital was like an ordinary ward for Jing Yichen, who often walked in and out of it. So he walked in with Shangguan Ning where Zhao Anan was being treated.

  There were no other doctors or nurses in the emergency room. Mu Qing had driven them out, possibly because he was cursing at her in a very mean manner.

  “.……Are you an idiot? Are you stupid? You can even get attacked and injured by that woman who was shot twice in the leg and had bled so much? What a shameless thing! That blade was mine. And you let others snatch it and place it on your neck? Why don’t you just stab me so I won’t get annoyed?”


  “I…… I was not prepared, next time……”


  “Next time? Next time I see that woman, I will kill her first!”
