Chapter 406 Can You Come to My Rescue?

Valentine's Day.

Qingning's captivating blind boxes have made the Fanxing Hotel incredibly popular.

The Fanxing Hotel was packed with people; rooms were hard to come by, and seats at the restaurant were also extremely difficult to find.

All of this was within Huo Shenyuan's expectations, because in his eyes, she was a huge treasure, radiating light and warmth.

Qingning and Huo Shenyuan didn't go outside to compete for seats with others; they went straight back to the Sheng family home for dinner.

Qingning misses Sheng Ma's cooking so much.

When they returned to the Sheng family home, they found that everyone was there, including Niannian and her husband, Weiwei and her husband, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

The Sheng family's restaurant is the most delicious restaurant.

Sheng's mother prepared a large table of sumptuous dishes well in advance, mainly catering to the preferences of the two pregnant women in the family.

Qingning's gaze immediately fell on her sister-in-law Sili's belly.

Almost five months along, her belly was already quite large.

"Oh My God."

Qingning's eyes widened in surprise as she curiously leaned closer and pressed her ear against her sister-in-law's stomach.

It was bubbling inside, like water was boiling.

Suddenly, her belly throbbed, startling her.

Immediately afterwards, a small bump appeared on the other side as well.

"They started fighting."

Qingning couldn't help but laugh out loud, "They're really making a ruckus."

Si Li's face was full of happy troubles, and she shook her head helplessly.

"That's right, they're boxing inside every day, they move so much that I can't sleep well at night, I keep waking up."

Sheng Tingxiao walked over, put his arm around his wife's waist, and looked at her with doting eyes.

He stared at Si Li's stomach, deliberately putting on a stern face.

"When those two brats get out, we have to give them a good spanking and let them know who's in charge."

Si Li was amused by him and gently patted him.

Sheng Tingxiao took her hand and led her steadily to the dining table to sit down.

"Dinner is ready."

At the dinner table, the task of peeling shrimp still fell to Sheng's father.

"Thank you, Dad." Qingning ate her fill.

The atmosphere was harmonious, but Sheng Weiwei was a little reserved, even though she used to be the most active member of the family.

Since being kidnapped, she has become somewhat sensitive and now often wakes up in the middle of the night.

I have to come back every day to hug Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan; otherwise, I don't feel at ease.

Her mother comforted her for a long time, but she was still shaken.

After dinner, Huo Shenyuan took Qingning to the Ferris wheel.

Bai Yu also took the opportunity to take Sheng Weiwei out.

Since returning from the capital, Bai Yu and Fu Beichen went to Qingcheng to deal with the venom. Sheng Weiwei was kidnapped and left with psychological trauma, so she couldn't sleep well every day and refused to engage in any intimate behavior.

They haven't done it for almost half a month.

Bai Yu took her to the boxing gym and had her sit in the familiar box number 1.

The entire boxing gym was plunged into complete darkness with a "snap".

"ah!"

Sheng Weiwei let out a sharp scream, her whole body trembling violently.

That's it.

Back in the Sheng family, she was breastfeeding her baby when the darkness suddenly descended, followed by a fight.

Then, she and her baby were kidnapped.

Ahead, a blinding light suddenly shone.

She saw several men dressed in black rushing menacingly toward her private room.

"Ah! Help!"

"Bai Yu, ahhh!"

She was so terrified that she screamed until her throat was hoarse.

"Bang!"

The door to the private room was kicked open.

Just as the men's menacing hands were about to touch her, a figure descended from the sky.

No, that's not Bai Yu.

He is a war tyrant.

His incomparably handsome face was adorned with his signature silver mask, making him both mysterious and powerful.

His punches and kicks were so fast that they left only afterimages.

In just a few moments, the six tall men were beaten black and blue, lying on the ground, unable to get up again.

Sheng Weiwei suddenly stood up and threw herself into Zhan Xiao's arms without thinking.

"Zhanxiao, save the baby!"

She was still trapped in the traumatic memory, crying out in panic.

Just then, Assistant Yang came up carrying the two little ones.

He had one in his left hand and one in his right hand.

The two babies were sleeping soundly in his arms, their pink little mouths slightly pouting.

Bai Yu tightened his arms, encircling her completely in his embrace. He lowered his head and rubbed his chin, which wasn't covered by the mask, against her forehead.

“Weiwei, all the hardships we’ve endured since we came from Maduri are behind us now.”

His tone was firm, carrying a calming power.

"From now on, I will never let anyone hurt you again."

"I will never leave your side again."

"Don't be afraid, it's all over now."

Sheng Weiwei leaned tightly against his firm chest, feeling his strong heartbeat, and suddenly couldn't hold back anymore; tears streamed down her face.

"Zhan Xiao, don't leave me."

She choked up, and deep down, she still relied on Zhan Xiao the most.

It was Zhan Xiao who saved her from danger time and time again, giving her an irreplaceable sense of security.

"I will never leave you again, baby."

He picked her up and carried her steadily down the corridor to his private office.

The two shared a passionate kiss.

...

Finally, she removed his mask, revealing Bai Yu's impeccably handsome face.

"Honey, I love you."

Her proactive confession spurred Bai Yu to work even harder, as if he wanted to crush the whole world and hold it in her hands.

"Baby, I love you too."

He lowered his head and placed a possessive, light bite on her delicate collarbone.

...

As night falls, the Ferris wheel on the riverbank resembles a giant halo, slowly turning in the night sky, with each cabin like a wishing star.

Huo Shenyuan held Qingning's hand, their fingers intertwined.

They stood in the cabin, the door closed, shutting out the noise from the outside world.

As the cabin slowly ascends, the city's night view unfolds beneath your feet, with traffic transforming into a flowing river of light and skyscrapers becoming embellished crystals.

Qingning pressed her face against the glass window, completely absorbed in watching.

Huo Shenyuan didn't look at the scenery; he only looked at her.

Her eyes sparkled with a light more dazzling than the view outside the window.

The cockpit rose to its highest point.

The world stood still at that moment.

Huo Shenyuan suddenly reached out and gently turned her face towards him.

His fingers, calloused slightly, caressed her cheek, causing a slight itch.

"Qingning".

He called her name softly, his voice low and hoarse.

The next second, his kiss landed.

It carried the crispness of the night breeze, along with his unique, captivating aura.

Qingning closed her eyes and stood on tiptoe to respond to him.

He held the back of her head with one hand and wrapped his other arm tightly around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.

It was a long and deep kiss.

The Ferris wheel began to descend, the city lights and shadows swirling and flashing past their tightly closed eyelids.

They were completely unaware.

The world was sinking, but her heart was rising and floating.

The cabin gave a slight jolt and came to a stop at the bottom.

Huo Shenyuan then released her.

After they came out, he took her hand and got into the car, then they went back to the hotel.

Back in the room, the door clicked shut.

The two of them couldn't resist once again.

"Qingning".

His voice was so hoarse it was unrecognizable.

"I really want... you."

He restrained himself, speaking each word with extreme difficulty.

Qingning looked at his restrained expression and suddenly smiled.

"I want to, but I have a baby in my belly, I can't do anything reckless..."

She bit his chin, surprised that she was pregnant so quickly. It was indeed a bit hard to bear, especially since they were still deeply in love.

"Help me." Huo Shenyuan's rationality completely snapped, and he carried her towards the bathroom.

...

Qingning's phone suddenly lit up; it was a message from Tang Xiaoya.

In short, it can be summed up as: "Are you asleep? I'm back in Haicheng, can you come rescue me?"

Unbeknownst to Qingning, she was currently being entangled by Huo Shenyuan in the bathroom.

At this moment, Tang Xiaoya was at the night banquet in Haicheng.

She had no filming these past two days, so she secretly returned to Haicheng and was going to the mall to pick out a gift for Qingning.

Unexpectedly, I ran into my college classmate, Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao also has some connections, and he now works as a producer at another sizable film and television company.

"Xiaoya, there's a gathering tonight. Several big company executives and famous directors are there at the 'Night Banquet' club. Shall we go over and have a chat?"

"I'll introduce you; having more friends means having more options!"

Tang Xiaoya's drama hadn't finished filming yet, and Zhou Hao only considered her a minor extra.

Tang Xiaoya's heart skipped a beat.

Although she had Yan Jin as her backer, she was also well aware of the importance of connections in this circle.

Yan Jin can provide her with resources, but expanding her own social circle is also necessary.

In the future, if I leave Yan Jin, I will have a way out.

So she agreed.

Yan Jin went on a business trip and didn't mention going to Yuncheng to spend Valentine's Day with her; he just had someone send her a gift.

Therefore, she had a rare period of freedom.

That evening, Yan Jin's phone rang, asking what she was doing.

She blurted out that she was going to go shopping at the newly opened mall with Lily.

Lily was Yan Jin's assistant, hired to prevent her from being too lonely on set and from being bullied again.

Yan Jin didn't think much of it and said a few sweet words to her.

"Don't stay out too late, call me when you get back," he carefully instructed.

"I know! I miss you, I love you."

Tang Xiaoya hung up the phone, feeling as if she had been granted a pardon.

She dressed up carefully, trying to make herself look beautiful without being too flashy.

Following the box number Zhou Hao had given her, she pushed open the door.

The private room was extremely large and luxuriously decorated, and it was filled with men and women.

Tang Xiaoya's pupils suddenly dilated, and her face turned pale with fright.

In the very center of the private room, surrounded by a throng of people sitting on the main sofa, was that face that could captivate anyone.

Banquet.

The man was lounging on the sofa, holding a glass of liquor in his hand. Two buttons of his shirt collar were undone, revealing his sexy collarbone.

The bigwigs around him, who usually wield considerable influence in the entertainment industry, were all smiling obsequiously, offering him toasts and saying something.

Tang Xiaoya froze on the spot.

Oh no, I've been caught lying!

Zhou Hao, seemingly unaware of her unusual behavior, greeted her warmly.

He grabbed her wrist and led her towards the head of the table, loudly introducing her as they walked: "President Yan, everyone."

"Let me introduce you. This is my college classmate, Tang Xiaoya, a very promising actress!"

"Xiaoya, come quick! This is President Yan from Kaka Entertainment, a trendsetter in the entertainment industry!"

He gave a thumbs up.

Tang Xiaoya steeled herself and walked up to Yan Jin, not daring to look him in the eye. She lowered her head and stammered, "Hello...Mr. Yan."

Tonight... I'm afraid things won't end well.

Yan Jin gave a very slight smile. He didn't speak, but simply nodded slightly in response before looking away.

It was as if Tang Xiaoya was just an insignificant stranger.

Zhou Hao pulled Tang Xiaoya to sit down in an empty seat near the door.

For the next few hours, Tang Xiaoya felt like she was sitting on pins and needles.

She didn't dare to look up at the man in the main seat; she could only keep her head down and listen to the people around her chatting and laughing.

To liven things up, someone suggested playing a game, the classic "Truth or Dare".

The bottle spun around, and after a few rounds, the bottle mouth landed squarely on the distracted Tang Xiaoya.

"Hey, Miss Tang! Choose one, truth or dare?"

A chubby boss laughed and egged them on.

Tang Xiaoya felt a chill run down her spine and instinctively wanted to choose the safest option, truth or dare.

She was also afraid that they would dig up her past.

Before she could even speak, someone next to her blurted out, "Of course it's adventurous and exciting!"

"Miss Tang, here's a treat for you: you can choose any man here and kiss him!"

Upon hearing this, the men's gazes became filled with a mixture of ambiguity and anticipation.

Zhou Hao's expression changed slightly as he stared at Tang Xiaoya. This girl had transformed from a chubby little girl into a noble swan.

I'm the only one here who knows her well, so she'll probably choose me, right?

Tang Xiaoya's gaze swept past everyone and landed on the man in the main seat, whose aura dominated the entire room.

Yan Jin was also looking at her with her eyes open, her gaze deep and unfathomable.

A surge of "what's the use" courage welled up in Tang Xiaoya's head.

To everyone's astonishment, she stood up and walked straight towards Yan Jin!

Everyone was stunned.

Zhou Hao was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he tried to grab her, but it was too late.

Tang Xiaoya walked up to Yan Jin and took a deep breath.

After mentally preparing herself, she closed her eyes, leaned down, and kissed Yan Jin's thin lips.

A collective gasp filled the private room.

Oh no, this woman has gone mad!

President Yan will definitely throw her out on the spot!

However, the next second, something happened that made everyone's eyes nearly pop out.

Yan Jin only stiffened slightly the moment she kissed him.

Then, he raised his hand, not to push her away, but to cup the back of her head, taking the initiative and deepening the kiss.

When the kiss ended, Tang Xiaoya was panting, her cheeks were flushed, and her legs were so weak that she could barely stand.

Yan Jin acted as if nothing had happened, releasing her and glancing at the petrified crowd. "It's just a game, let's continue."

But who still has the will to continue?

Everyone was already in a state of shock: it seemed that President Yan had taken a liking to Tang Xiaoya.

After playing until 10:30, Tang Xiaoya got up to say goodbye.

Zhou Hao stepped forward and said he would walk with her.

Everyone present tacitly agreed that this Miss Tang must be Zhou Hao's girlfriend.

Why didn't she kiss Zhou Hao just now? This woman has quite the ambition.

"No, no need. Zhou Hao, you stay and play with them. I... my cat hasn't had dinner yet, so I'll go home first."

After saying that, Tang Xiaoya ran away.

She stood at the entrance of the club, and only when the cold wind blew did she realize how frightened she had been.

She felt like she was going to die, a sense of despair like that of someone about to be tortured!

Would Yan Jin cancel her role as the second female lead just because she got angry?

That was a drama she poured her heart and soul into.

May God bless Yan Jin to be in a good mood today, and may the adults forgive her for her petty mistake.

Just then, a black Bentley pulled up in front of her.

The car window rolled down, revealing Yan Jin's expressionless profile. "Get in."

Tang Xiaoya gritted her teeth, opened the car door, and got in.

They remained silent the entire way.

Back in a luxurious apartment, as soon as she opened the door, Yan Jin pinned her against the wall in the entryway.

He grabbed her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze. "You've gotten quite the flair, haven't you? You've learned to lie to me now?"

He ripped her dress open with his large hand.

"Ah!" Tang Xiaoya screamed, reaching out to cover her exposed skin...
