Sheng Ning felt like she had slept for a very long time, her whole body floating lightly, no matter how hard she tried, she couldnât touch the ground. When she finally landed, she struggled to open her eyes.
"Youâre awake?" A familiar voice of the Living Yama was beside her, hoarse from dryness, as if he hadnât drunk water in a long time.
In fact, Xu Qigang had been by her bedside for a whole day and night without eating or drinking, never leaving her side. A layer of stubble had already appeared on his chin, giving him a more disheveled look, but it also made her unable to look away.
"My husband is so handsome," Sheng Ning said proudly.
Xu Qigang gave her a fierce kiss, only then did his heart relax, "Does the wound still hurt?"
He didnât even need to ask, the moment he did, Sheng Ning immediately felt the burning pain in her left shoulder.
"It hurts, it hurts a lot." She looked at Xu Qigang pitifully, "What should we do?"
Xu Qigang sighed, holding her hand in his palm, he said self-reproachfully, "Itâs because Iâm too useless, I promised to protect you, but you end up getting hurt every time."
"How could this be your fault? Itâs not your responsibility, Iâm just too unlucky to have such a mother." Sheng Ning comforted him in return, "I dream of breaking off relations with Su Yun."
"Donât worry, this time I wonât let Su Yun get away with it."
"Let it go!" Sheng Ning said proactively, "Iâve already slapped her at the scene, just make sure she doesnât cause any more trouble in the future."
In fact, Sheng Ning had thought of killing Su Yun, she was furious that Su Yun had driven her grandfather to his death and remained unrepentant. Whatâs more, she wanted to kill her too, but Sheng Ning was neither a saint nor a fool, even if faced with such a person being her mother, she wouldnât hold back.
But whenever she thought of her grandfatherâs dying words of forgiving Su Yun, she couldnât be ruthless. After all, Su Yun was his only daughter, and he had already severed the father-daughter relationship for Sheng Ning.
Grandfather loved her so much and sacrificed so much for her, sheâd forgive Su Yun this last time for his sake. However, being stabbed couldnât be settled so lightly.
She finally understood, Su Yun was incorrigible. The best way was to keep an eye on her, not allowing her to harm anyone.
"Let someone keep an eye on her! Itâs tantamount to house arrest," Sheng Ning said helplessly.
"She stabbed you once and almost harmed you and the baby in your belly, I have to seek justice for you and the baby." Xu Qigang knew Su Yun was her mother, but even so, she couldnât act so outrageously.
Much less abuse her position, how could such a person be worthy of being a comrade? Or being a mother?
"Wait..." Sheng Ning was momentarily stunned, as if she had missed something.
"Whatâs wrong?"
"What did you just say?" Sheng Ning attempted to sit up, Xu Qigang quickly helped her up. He placed a soft pillow behind her, and to prevent her from touching the wound on her shoulder, he carefully sat at the bedside to protect her.
"Slow down, youâre expecting a baby now, how can you still be so reckless?" Xu Qigang almost had a heart attack from her abruptness, because she had signs of threatened miscarriage, the doctor advised at least two months of bed rest.
The fetus had to stabilize before she could move around.
"Baby?" Sheng Ning stared wide-eyed in astonishment, she finally remembered. She had been sent to the hospital and then fainted...and then...and then didnât her lie about being pregnant get exposed?
Wait...no...didnât the Living Yama just say thereâs a baby in her belly?
