Mu Qing had been feeling concerned about Zhao Anan’s well-being during captivity but when he understood what she had intended to do, he almost choked on his own saliva.

  This girl dared to seduce that guy? Hadn’t she been worried that she would get into trouble?

  Zhao Anan might look like a tomboy, but that didn’t make her a boy. On the contrary, she had an oval face with beautiful features. Her skin was white and her body was in great shape. She had long legs and large breasts.

  Which man could stand her seduction?!

  Mu Qing got both furious and irritated. He opened his mouth to bite her lips whilst spanking her butt soundly.

  “Ridiculous! You were seeking trouble. What if he had something else on his mind for you?”


  Did she really miss him? She not only tried to seduce the man but also complained to him about not succeeding in doing it.

  Zhao Anan, could you please be a little rational?

  Zhao Anan did not get annoyed after being bitten and spanked by him. Smiling, she sprayed water onto Mu Qing’s muscular chest, and his handsome appearance was blurred by the mist, but Zhao Anan felt quite content.

  “I was just pretending to seduce him. I wouldn’t have done anything real.”


  Zhao Anan pinched Mu Qing’s nipples and laughed proudly as she heard him grumbling.

  “See, I only seduce you. I would never do such a thing to anyone else. My plan was to seduce that kidnapper so that I could run away once I managed to distract him.”


  Mu Qing wanted to hit this naked woman sitting in front of him.

  He spoke through clenched teeth. “That is not acceptable, either. You must not seduce anyone, whatever the reason.”


  “Don’t worry, I think you are very nice to me. No other men would be interested in me. Also, I am not good at seducing men, so I won’t try it in the future.”


  Zhao Anan was in a good mood. She lifted her head to kiss Mu Qing’s bearded chin.

  She had never done such things of her own accord. That made Mu Qing want to protect her even more.

  He softened his voice, caught her hands and said in a soft voice, “You are a beautiful woman. No other woman can match up to you.”


  Mu Qing took the spray from Zhao Anan’s hands and washed off the soapy bubbles from her body. Then he carried her into the bathtub and made her sit on him whilst he helped her to wash her lower body.

  Mu Qing had done this before, but Zhao Anan still felt a bit shy about it. “I can do it myself……”


  Mu Qing moved her hands away with determination. “I will do it.”


  Zhao Anan had no choice but to let him clean her up. It was not the first time, and she soon stopped protesting.

  Leaning in Mu Qing’s arms, Zhao Anan felt very comfortable.

  She had not taken a bath or shower so peacefully in a long time.

  Although that man did not seem interested in her, whenever Zhao Anan was taking a shower, she used to feel really scared that he would rush in.

  Zhao Anan suddenly asked when she thought of the kidnapper, “Is the perverted man, who imprisoned me, dead?”


  Mu Qing did not understand which perverted man was Zhao Anan referring to, so he said, “You mean, Jing Yiran? He is already dead. Master Jing has taken revenge for you.”


  Zhao Anan got so startled that she almost jumped out of the water. She shouted loudly. “How is the entire thing related to Jing Yiran? He is…… dead?!”


  This was shocking!

  She had always believed that Jing Yiran would not die so early.

  Only now did Mu Qing realize that Zhao Anan was asking about the man who had guarded her, rather than the culprit behind the incident.

  But that did not matter, he had planned to tell her about Jing Yiran, anyway.

  “That man is Jing Yiran’s employee. He sent the man to imprison you only because he wanted to use you as a back up.”


  Zhao Anan still could not believe that. So she asked in astonishment, “Why did he do that? Could I have saved his life? If my cousin wanted to kill him……”


  Then she suddenly realized the truth. She said with widened eyes, “So he had known that my cousin would kill him otherwise?!”


  Or he would not have had to take her as the amulet!

  “Yes, he did something terrible, much worse than keeping you imprisoned. He knew that he would not be able to live post that, so he set the trap much earlier.”


  Speaking of Jing Yiran, Mu Qing got extremely furious. He hated the man to the marrow, and would have killed him with his bare hands had he still been alive.

  Zhao Anan asked in surprise, “What can be worse than imprisoning me?”


  Mu Qing threw a look at her. He had not planned to tell her about Shangguan Ning, but she was Shangguan Ning’s best friend, so he told her the truth.

  “Jing Yiran wanted to get the shares of Jingsheng Enterprise and the rights of inheritance of the Jing Family, so he took Shangguan Ning as hostage and took her to the Cross-Sea Bridge, forcing Master Jing to hand out the shares and rights of inheritance.”


  Zhao Anan gasped hearing what happened.

  She resembled a goldfish with eyes and mouth open. Her face was flushed because of the hot water in the bathtub.

  Mu Qing’s anger disappeared looking at her.

  Jing Yiran had already paid for his behavior and there was no need for him to hate a dead man.

  Zhao Anan got so startled that it took her a long time to absorb the implications of what she had been told. Shangguan Ning was pregnant.

  She asked, “Is Ning okay? Bastard Jing Yiran, he should have been flayed!”


  Mu Qing shook his head lightly, “She is fine now. Also, you have a nephew called Jing Rui, lovely and strong. When you recover, we will go and visit him, okay?”


  Zhao Anan got very excited. She splashed her hands in the water. “Really? That is great! I have got a nephew. I am an aunt now!”


  But she suddenly realized that something was wrong. She calculated and said in confusion, “That doesn’t seem right. Ning is not due this month. Her due date is June. What happened?!”


  Mu Qing smiled bitterly and replied, “Sister-in-law was pushed off the bridge into the sea by Jing Yiran’s man. She could not handle the impact and gave birth to the baby, prematurely.”
