Aunt Wen had to stop talking before she could finish.

...

The next morning, Ye Xinning got up and sat on the balcony to sunbathe. Lately, she had become increasingly lazy and less and less willing to move.

When Aunt Wen came over to deliver breakfast, she saw her sitting on the balcony and said, "Miss, you should get some more sleep. You went to bed so late last night."

Ye Xinning knew that Aunt Wen was worried about her health, so she came in from the balcony and said, "It's okay, Aunt Wen, I just can't sleep."

Aunt Wen thought about all the things that had happened recently, and Ye Xinning felt it was normal for her not to be able to sleep.

Having so many things on your mind will definitely have some impact.

"Miss, please have breakfast first."

Ye Xinning hummed in agreement, sat down on the sofa, and chatted with Aunt Wen while eating breakfast, "How is the child? Is he feeling any better?"

"Much better. The injection the doctor gave me last night worked very well. I gave her the medicine again this morning, and she's sleeping peacefully now. Don't worry, Miss."

Are you worried?

Ye Xinning lowered her head and laughed, "Isn't it funny? Aunt Wen's child is the result of my husband's affair with his mistress, but I have to worry about the safety of that child?"

Although Ye Xinning said this with a smile, Aunt Wen knew the bitterness in her voice.

Aunt Wen touched Ye Xinning's hand, her gaze gentle, "Miss, it will all pass, everything will be alright."

Ye Xinning nodded. It will pass.

After breakfast, Ye Xinning waited for the call. Logically speaking, if Jiang An wanted the child to be safe and sound, he should have made a decision soon.

Around the afternoon, Ye Xinning received a call from Song Zhengchu.

The moment Ye Xinning received the call, she knew that Jiang An had made her choice.

"Ningning, I'm free," Song Zhengchu said on the other end of the phone, and then asked where Ye Xinning was.

"Dad, I'm still in Ye City, but I'll be back soon."

“I heard from your mother that you forced Jiang An to make a choice, didn’t you? You’re really confused. Many times, many things don’t need to be done that way.”

“Everyone has to bear the consequences of their own actions. I have tolerated Jiang An’s scheming against me many times. If I let her off the hook again this time, she might think that I, Ye Xinning, am easy to bully.”

Despite saying that, Song Zhengchu was still very worried about Ye Xinning. "You're in Yecheng, right? Do you have anyone with you? If you don't, I'll come and bring you back."

"No need, Dad is waiting for me in Nancheng. I will be back soon. Dad has suffered a lot during this time, so please get some rest."

Since Ye Xinning has already said that, it would be superfluous for Song Zhengchu to insist on saying anything more.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't try to change your mind. You and Wen Yu, and Zhou Yun, be careful to stay safe."

"good."

Ye Xinning spoke a few more words to Song Zhengchu before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Xinning received another call from Jiang An.

On the phone, Jiang An spoke through gritted teeth, "Ye Xinning, can you let my child go now?"

Ye Xinning held her phone, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. "Jiang An, this time, have you understood at least one thing about what kind of person I am?"

Jiang An on the other end of the line gripped his phone tightly, remaining silent.

Ye Xinning didn't mind her silence at the moment. She smiled slightly and spoke softly.

"I told you, you want the child, fine. You want the status of Mrs. Shen, I'll divorce Shen Lin, you can do whatever you want. But all of this is on the condition that you don't bother me anymore. But you never listen to these words. Since that's the case, then I'll make you suffer a little. You don't seem to understand what kind of person I, Ye Xinning, am."

Jiang An realized something was wrong from Ye Xinning's words. "Ye Xinning, what do you mean?"

“I don’t think it’s good for this child to stay with you. I’d better hand him over to Shen Lin.”

Shen Lin is at least the child's father; he wouldn't allow Jiang An to continue using the child to do more things that hurt others.

Upon hearing Ye Xinning say that she was going to hand the child over to Shen Lin, Jiang An almost instantly roared, "No, absolutely not!"

Shen Lin wanted the child dead before, and now that the child is in Shen Lin's hands, whether the child can survive is another matter. Under such circumstances, how could she let Ye Xinning hand the child over to Shen Lin?

“Jiang An, you keep taking advantage of this child. The child will not be able to have a healthy environment to grow up in with you.”

“That’s my child. What kind of living environment I want to give him is my business.”

"Go and tell these things to Shen Lin."

After Ye Xinning finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.

After hanging up the phone, she asked Aunt Wen to contact Shen Lin.

After Shen Lin made contact, Ye Xinning expressed her desire to hand the child over to him. Shen Lin originally wanted to say that he had never acknowledged the child's identity, but Ye Xinning said that if he agreed, he could see her.

Thinking this through, Shen Lin agreed.

Ye Xinning, along with Aunt Wen and Zhou Yun, took the child to see Shen Lin. Her plan was to hand the child over to Shen Lin and then return directly to Nancheng.

The car drove towards the agreed-upon location and finally stopped outside the destination.

Ye Xinning saw Shen Lin standing at the door waiting before she even got out of the car.

Aunt Wen asked Ye Xinning, "If Miss doesn't want to get off, she can wait in the car."

"No need," Ye Xinning said calmly. Since she had already said she was coming, there was no need for her to avoid Shen Lin.

She got off the bus with Aunt Wen.

Aunt Wen held the child, but the child seemed nervous, perhaps because he knew he was about to be handed over to someone else. He looked at Ye Xinning with his big eyes and tried to pull himself toward Ye Xinning with both hands.

Aunt Wen wondered, "I don't know what's wrong with this child, why does he like Miss so much?"

Ye Xinning glanced at the child, initially not wanting to pay attention, but after taking a few steps forward, she didn't know what she was thinking, and suddenly turned back to Aunt Wen and said, "Aunt Wen, let me hold him."

Although Aunt Wen found it strange, she still handed the child over to her.

The two walked towards Shen Linzai's direction.

Pedestrians came and went on the street, and Ye Xinning and Aunt Wen did not think there was anything wrong. However, in a place where neither of them noticed, a woman wearing a mask walked straight towards them.

The woman had her head down, one hand in her bag, and looked perfectly normal and ordinary.

The first to realize something was wrong was actually Shen Lin. He could see clearly from behind that the woman who appeared to be walking in the crowd actually had a very obvious purpose: she was always heading in Ye Xinning's direction.

Then look at the woman's hands, which remained inside her bag...
