No One Else in Sight

When Chen Qing met Jiang Jingyan, he was, like in the eyes of the outside world, impossibly high above her.

This was because for most of his life, Mr. Jiang had maintained a pristine, upright...

Chapter 276 I Still Have the Ability to Make You Pregnant

The anti-smuggling mission mentioned by Old Master Tang was Jiang Jingyan’s last battle before his retirement.

Chen Qing was just a freshman at the time, and the Luo family wanted to keep the matter secret until the doctor issued a notice of critical illness. Mrs. Luo thought that if Jiang Jingyan could not survive, Chen Qing had to see him for the last time.

Fortunately, he woke up.

Mrs. Luo made a call and then hung up. Chen Qing thought something happened at home, so she called back. Jiang Jingyan endured the pain and answered the call, pretending to ask her about her academic performance, without revealing any flaws.

Jiang Jingyan had already proposed to retire when Chen Qing was 18 years old. After he finished recuperating from his injury, his superiors approved it and it was natural for him to be transferred to Huasheng Group, which no one dared to take over at that time.

The past is still vivid in my mind. I could have kept it secret then, but this time, I’ll have to put in some effort.

"Miss Chen is still pregnant and has morning sickness and can't eat. The old man has hired a gynecologist to nurse her back to health."

Jiang Jingyan came back to his senses and hummed.

Seeing that his expression was more serious than when he first came in, the head nanny hinted, "Young Master Xiao lost his first child. The old man and the aunt spent the whole day in the ancestral hall yesterday. You are the only son of the Jiang family. Old Mr. Jiang is busy now. I will definitely take good care of Miss Chen's pregnancy. When the storm has passed and Young Master Xiao is married, our two families can live happily in harmony."

He still hummed, his tone hoarse.

The house that Jiang Jingyan bought is next to the hill where the Tang family's old house is located.

This summer, he took Chen Qing to Chengde Villa to escape the heat. At that time, she mentioned that she wanted him to have a complete rest and to use her small treasury to support him in the south.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jingyan burst out laughing.

Chen Qing's small treasury was earned by her part-time work and study. College students have cheap labor, and commercial performances are even more so. In this industry, in addition to talent, background is also important. Mrs. Luo does not want Chen Qing to participate in too many performances that have no gold content. She just wants to accumulate experience. Even if she wants to be a supporting role, she has to serve as a foil to the famous stars.

Chen Qing wanted to make money while taking into account the Luo family's efforts. The range of options was narrower, and with the scholarship, there was not much money at all, so she lived frugally on weekdays, but was generous in buying gifts for the Luo family during festivals. After Jiang Jingyan found out, he asked Lian Zhuo to secretly contact her part-time boss and give her an extra bonus.

The wool comes from the sheep, so it is appropriate for Chen Qing to use this money to "support" him.

When I walked out of the gate, the servant from the front yard came out to greet me, "Miss Chen is taking a nap."

"At this time?" The head nanny was surprised. "Have you eaten yet?"

The servant shook his head and rubbed his hands. "I vomited several times last night and didn't sleep much. The doctor took my pulse this morning and said it was due to excessive worry, liver depression... or something. I just finally said I was sleepy, so I quickly told him to rest. How could I have time to eat?"

Jiang Jingyan's brows were still furrowed, and he looked gloomy. He immediately stepped into the courtyard.

He had originally planned to take a look from a distance and then leave, but in this situation, how could he leave?

Chen Qing's bedroom is in the east courtyard, and looking out the window, you can see the unobstructed mountain view.

Jiang Jingyan pushed the door open quietly and walked into the room. He walked around the screen and saw the little person curled up on the bed, which made him choke.

Chen Qing looked much more haggard and pale. He was busy yesterday and was still worried about You Meng and him, so he was naturally exhausted.

Jiang Jingyan stood still, calmed his breath, and moved closer.

The sunlight coming in through the window was mostly blocked by his body. Chen Qing's eyelashes trembled, and he buried his head in the quilt. "I won't eat yet."

"Why not eat it?"

She pulled down the quilt in an instant, revealing a few strands of hair on her forehead. She was dazed and asked, "Jiang Jingyan?"

"Um."

Before Jiang Jingyan could even sit still on the bed, Chen Qing grabbed his sleeve and cried, "Where's Sister Meng?"

"In the hospital, Mr. Xiao is with you." He stretched out his hand and put his arm around her waist, but then relaxed his grip when he remembered that she was pregnant.

Chen Qing leaned in front of him, his voice trembling, "Sister Meng and the child..."

Jiang Jingyan knew that the truth would come out sooner or later. Even if he didn't say anything, he was in the Tang family and was surrounded by Tang family servants.

So, he relayed everything You Meng said in the hospital and kissed her forehead firmly, "I don't blame you."

Chen Qing cried so hard that she was out of breath, and no matter how he tried to comfort her, she couldn't stop.

Jiang Jingyan was helpless. He wiped away the snot from her nose with his fingertips and said in a serious tone, "I haven't asked you yet, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"

Once these words were spoken, they really worked.

Chen Qing stopped crying and uttered four words, "Inappropriate time."

Jiang Jingyan unexpectedly didn't get angry. He hugged her again and wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief. "Don't blame you. It's my fault."

"Don't you doubt it?"

"Suspicious of what?"

Chen Qing pursed her lips.

Although she went to Wuhen Village, she didn't miss a single word of the rumors in the school and the city.

Yuan Hui was afraid that she would think too much, so she held back and didn't say anything, but the students who went to do the charity performance discussed it privately, and she knew what the outside world was saying.

Including what Tang Xiaoming mentioned yesterday, everyone thought that she would be the wife of Chairman Yan. Now that she was pregnant, who knows what unbearable words would be waiting for her.

Jiang Jingyan lifted her chin, with a knowing expression, "Stop talking nonsense, what do I doubt? I still have the ability to make you pregnant. Besides, you've tasted it, so you won't look down on other men."

Chen Qing slapped his hand away, her face slightly reddened, "Will Master Xiao bring Sister Meng back?"

The man was silent for two or three seconds, avoiding the question. "I have to go back. Do you want me to have dinner with you or sleep with you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qing yawned.

Jiang Jingyan leaned against the head of the bed, half sitting and half lying, holding her, "Go to sleep. When I'm not around, just sleep peacefully at night. If you don't sleep, the servants in this house will be in a panic and worry about you."

"The mother-in-law downstairs said that you bought this house. Where did you get the money?"

"I stole it."

Chen Qing curled his lips and rested his head on his stomach. "The Imperial Mansion given by Mrs. Luo, your Chen Garden, what do we need so many houses for? Why not just stay here and rent out or sell the Imperial Mansion?"

Jiang Jingyan laughed, "Mrs. Luo gave you a dowry, and you want to sell it just like that?"

"You also said it was my dowry. You can't be so extravagant in the future."

His throat rolled, but no sound came out.

Chen Qing looks naive, but actually knows everything. She knows that the Meng Party issue is still unresolved, Jiang Zhongyi has a high probability of downfall, the Jiang family will be much worse than before, and this "Mr. Jiang" has been demoted and his future is bleak, so she is preparing for it.

I don’t want the Yu Mansion, and I don’t even want justice for the Chen family.

"You'll like the southern climate." Jiang Jingyan's voice was extremely hoarse. "It will make you and your child beautiful and graceful."

Chen Qing stroked her belly and said, "I thought Sister Meng's child could be married to ours."

"Isn't it vulgar? If you arrange a marriage for a child, the child will quarrel with you when he grows up."

She smiled, "Yeah, just in case it's the same as you."

Jiang Jingyan looked out the window, suppressing the bitterness that was gradually seeping into his heart, and said, "Think of a name."
