Chapter 402 I Don't Want This Child

The night was thick.

The boundless sea regained its calm, and the moonlight shone down, gleaming with a cold white.

The battle with Venom has come to a complete end.

The madman, along with his crimes, was burned to ashes, and all the weapons on the island were seized by the authorities.

On the Nan family's side, Mu Yanchen was shot in the chest during the melee and died on the spot.

All the criminals who attacked the Nan family were captured, and the leaders of the Nan gang, knowing that such a big change had happened to the Nan family, rushed back.

Beside the small fishing village, a dark figure sat on a large rock, gazing at the vast sea.

It was the Ice Wolf.

When Venom had someone bring him out of a prison in Country S to carry out his complicated plan.

He agreed without hesitation.

He voiced his opposition when Venom and Mu Yanchen proposed to kidnap Gu Xingnian.

Because Gu Xingnian is too big a target, they only need one hostage, so Bai Yu's wife is more suitable.

Firstly, it could avenge the destruction of the palace; secondly, the target was within the enemy's expectations, making it easier to succeed.

Later, Venom sent people to Haicheng to kidnap people. He infiltrated the Fu family and specifically warned Gu Xingnian to be on guard.

He also secured the task of personally tying people up.

Because only by taking action himself can he ensure the greatest safety for Sheng Weiwei and the child.

To prevent her from being directly harmed because of her resistance.

Finally, he secretly tied a first-aid bracelet to Sheng Weiwei's hand. When she came into contact with water, the bracelet would turn into a balloon and rise to the surface, giving her a chance to live.

I never expected that Venom would have someone take the child away.

Now, everything has finally cleared up.

He resolved the crisis for Gu Xingnian.

She repaid the debt of gratitude she owed Fu Beichen for sparing his life when he was arrested.

He recalled the image of her holding the baby and walking in the garden, a scene so beautiful it was breathtaking.

She exuded maternal tenderness, holding the child and teaching him gently.

One glance was enough to captivate him to the core.

I just hope she will have a safe and smooth life from now on.

The smell of disinfectant permeated the air in the hospital.

Nan Wan sat blankly by the hospital bed, staring unblinkingly at the person on the bed with their eyes closed.

Lu Qinglin was pale, his lips were bloodless, and he was sleeping face down with thick bandages wrapped around his back.

The dagger was inserted very deep; if it had been just one centimeter off, it would have pierced his heart.

Nan Wan felt a wave of fear wash over her.

This was the first time Nan Wan had stayed by his side in the hospital. She remembered their reunion, his domineering and forceful taking, and the critical moment when he broke free from his superpowers to shield her from a knife.

How strong must a person's will be to break free from the control of superpowers?

Her eyes welled up with tears without her even realizing it.

She didn't know how to face him anymore.

Fu Beichen walked over, his tall figure looming over her.

He called Niannian before coming in, and got scolded, which made her cry.

He coaxed her for a long time and promised that he would never hide anything from her again before she hung up the phone.

Fortunately, the Venom was dealt with successfully this time.

He looked at Nan Wan's bloodless face, his brows furrowed.

"Let's go back."

"I'll guard this place."

Fu Beichen's voice was soft, yet it carried an undeniable command.

He was worried that her body wouldn't be able to handle the pregnancy.

Nan Wan stubbornly shook her head, "I'll stay here and watch him."

Fu Beichen offered a word of advice.

"When he wakes up, the person he most wants to see is you."

"But he definitely doesn't want to see you looking so haggard."

"I'll have the driver take you home to rest first, and you can come back tomorrow."

In the end, Nan Wan left the ward. She did feel a little dizzy and nauseous.

When Nan Wan returned to the Nan family home, she was in a daze.

Qingning immediately came forward.

"Sister Nan, how is Brother Lu?"

Nan Wan looked up, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"He... had surgery and hasn't woken up yet; he lost too much blood..."

"fine."

Qingning interrupted her, squeezed her hand tightly, and conveyed strength.

"Don't worry, Brother Lu will be fine."

"You should trust me."

"In a couple of days, once my energy has recovered a bit, I'll go and heal his injuries. He'll be bouncing around again soon."

Qingning comforted her, and Nanwan nodded, feeling a little better.

late at night.

Lu Qinglin's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.

His vision was a blurry white, and it took him a while to adjust before he could see the ceiling clearly.

He moved, and a sharp pain shot through his chest.

"Wanwan..."

He spoke, his voice terribly dry.

A figure immediately approached.

"woke up?"

Fu Beichen's voice rang out from above.

"You've finally decided to wake up?"

When Lu Qinglin saw who it was, the light in his eyes dimmed instantly.

"Why is it you?"

He looked around; the ward was empty.

Where is she?

Fu Beichen pulled up a chair, sat down, and crossed his legs.

“I sent her back.”

"Otherwise what? Let a pregnant woman stay here and keep watch over you all night?"

Lu Qinglin fell silent, a dull ache rising in his chest from the rise and fall of his breath.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, but his eyes became incredibly determined.

"Of course I can't bear to let her keep watch at night."

Fu Beichen looked at him and said irritably.

"Alright, if you want to win back your wife, get well soon."

"Venom is dead, Mu Yanchen is dead, and all the remaining fugitives have been dealt with," Fu Beichen briefly explained the situation to him.

“Next up is my second uncle,” Lu Qinglin spat out fiercely.

...

At night, the Nan family villa was brightly lit.

Huo Shenyuan returned with Qingning.

Bai Yu took Sheng Weiwei and the baby back to the hotel to rest, and immediately called Sheng's father.

Upon hearing that everything went smoothly, the Sheng family breathed a sigh of relief.

In the guest room, Qingning nestled in Huo Shenyuan's arms, her nose filled with his fresh and pleasant scent.

Having survived the ordeal, she cherished the warmth and sense of security in that embrace.

The man's arm muscles were smooth and strong, encircling her like an iron arm, making her feel incredibly safe.

She buried her face in his chest and asked softly.

Tell me, how did you escape?

Huo Shenyuan tightened his grip on her arm, his chin rubbing against the top of her head.

His deep voice carried a hint of lingering fear.

"Honestly, I was terrified at the time."

Qingning could feel the vibrations coming from his chest when he spoke.

"I thought I was going to die."

"I want to burn to ashes along with that madman Venom."

He suddenly chuckled softly.

"At that time, I was thinking, 'You're such a heartless girl.'"

"You can't save me, fine, but you want to burn me alive too?"

"That must hurt so much."

Qingning felt a pang of sadness and raised her hand to punch him.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Huo Shenyuan grabbed her mischievous hand and held it in his palm.

His expression suddenly became somewhat strange, with a hint of inquiry.

"But later..."

"I can't feel any pain, and the heat doesn't choke me."

"Those fires don't seem to reach me."

The chains binding me melted, and then I thought about escaping. So I teleported away instantly.

Qingning smiled. "Mr. Huo, you know how to teleport now too."

"Take that stone back to me quickly. It's making me feel uncomfortable, like there's a ball of fire burning inside me."

"What's the rush? I'll give you two days to play. Go out whenever you want, you might even steal someone." Qingning smiled and gently kissed his chin.

Huo Shenyuan suddenly propped himself up.

"I know you won't abandon me. Even if it means using me as bait, you'll protect me."

Qingning was somewhat surprised, "You knew?"

“I know you don’t want Bei Chen and Bai Yu to get into trouble. The fact that you’re willing to push me out proves that you’ve already considered me your closest person. You’d rather betray me than betray the world.”

Hearing him say these words, Qingning's eyes reddened.

It turns out, he understood her.

"Your bracelet is fireproof, so fire usually won't burn you. But I was afraid the fire would be too big and I wouldn't be able to withstand it. That's why I gave you the Fire Source Stone."

"If you really didn't escape, I will never live on alone."

Qingning still felt a chill when she thought about it.

"Silly girl, you're not allowed to think like that. You have to be safe and sound and give me a beautiful baby." After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed her. "Try it, what it's like for water and fire to fight."

Qingning blushed.

He lowered his head and kissed her lips, and the temperature in the room rose steadily.

...

The Presidential Suite at the Vanguard Hotel.

"Don't touch my baby!"

"Save them, Bai Yu, quickly save them..."

Sheng Weiwei suddenly convulsed on the huge bed and woke up screaming.

"Weiwei."

"Weiwei, wake up."

A warm, large hand was gently patting her cheek.

Bai Yu leaned down to look at her, wearing only a loosely wrapped bath towel around his waist, water droplets rolling down his well-defined abdominal muscles.

He had just finished showering when he heard her talking in her sleep.

She was truly terrified when she learned that she had been kidnapped.

Sheng Weiwei suddenly opened her eyes.

My forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The next second, she sprang up from the bed and rushed barefoot to the small bed in the corner.

"Baby!"

Bai Yu's heart tightened, and he immediately followed.

She was lying by the crib, her body trembling violently, checking the two babies' breathing over and over again.

Bai Yu stretched out his long arm from behind and pulled her into his arms.

His burning chest pressed tightly against her icy back.

"Shh...it's alright now."

The man's chin rested on the top of her head, his voice deep and magnetic.

"Look how soundly they are sleeping."

"With me here, no one can touch them."

His words carried an undeniable power of reassurance.

Sheng Weiwei's tense nerves finally relaxed, and her body went limp, collapsing completely into his arms.

Bai Yu tightened his arms and, with a forceful movement, lifted her up horizontally.

He strode back to the bed in a few steps and carefully placed her back into the soft blankets.

"It's alright, it's all over now."

He lay beside her, gently wiping away the moisture from the corner of her eyes with his fingertips.

"Sweetheart, go to sleep."

"I'll stay by your side and the baby's side."

He pulled her into his arms, gently patting her back with his large hand. Sheng Weiwei, smelling his familiar scent, gradually fell asleep.

...

The next day, Bai Yu, along with Sheng Weiwei, the baby, and Fu Beichen, boarded a private plane back to Haicheng.

Qingning and Huo Shenyuan will stay for a few days to treat Lu Qinglin's injuries before returning home.

In the morning, Huo Shenyuan and Qingning brought soup to Lu Qinglin's ward to visit him.

Qingning examined his wounds and found them to be quite severe, though fortunately, they hadn't reached any vital organs.

"Can I help you treat your wounds tomorrow? To help them heal as quickly as possible," Qingning said.

She regretted sharing a room with Huo Shenyuan last night; her abilities required her to hibernate for 24 hours.

Lu Qinglin directly refused.

"Nan Wan hasn't arrived yet? I'll postpone my treatment for the next few days."

“I have to coax her, give me a promise, and let her give birth to my child. Now is the best opportunity.”

"Only when she sees me like this will she soften her heart. It's all worth the pain."

After Lu Qinglin finished speaking, he even smiled, not taking his injuries seriously at all.

Little did they know, outside the door, Nan Wan was filled with shock, her eyes darkening.

She turned around and left immediately.

Is she pregnant?

They all knew, but he was the only one kept in the dark?

She went to the gynecologist and had an ultrasound. The report showed that she was nine weeks pregnant.

This child was conceived a month ago on Happiness Island.

She never imagined that she would become a mother.

Is the child's father Lu Qinglin?

He even tried to use this injury to coerce her into keeping the child.

Wouldn't that mean I'd be entangled with him for the rest of my life?

Could it be that Qingning told her before that she couldn't smoke or drink? So that's why.

The doctor read the report and smiled, "According to the report, the fetus is developing normally, and your morning sickness is not severe. This proves that the mother's physical condition is quite good."

"I'll prescribe some nutritional supplements for you. Take them on time when you get home."

After the doctor finished speaking, he started typing the prescription on the computer.

Nan Wan suddenly said, "Doctor, I don't want this child. Please help me schedule an abortion."
