Qiao Wanwan was so sleepy that she tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't wake up no matter what she did.

She felt someone wrap her in a bath towel, carry her to the bathroom, and place her on a soft bed.

Qiao Wanwan hugged the comfortable blanket and quickly fell into a deep sleep...

I slept well all night.

The next morning, Qiao Wanwan slowly woke up and the first thing she saw was the man's handsome face.

She thought about it carefully, her face immediately turning red to her ears, and she pinched Zhan Jingting's nose, "Zhan Jingting, wake up! Who told you to hug me secretly!"

The man woke up quickly and looked at her with interest. "Madam Zhan, you're sleeping in the bathtub. You're likely to drown."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"I'm not that stupid! If you carry me out, you'll see me naked!"

"It's not like we haven't seen it before, what are you afraid of?"

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"In short, it can't be like this."

"Then I'll hug you with my eyes closed next time."

"......"

"I can't be bothered with you, I'm getting up."

During breakfast, Qiao Wanwan received a phone call, and her expression gradually turned cold. "I understand, thank you."

"What's wrong?" Zhan Jingting took a sip of coffee. "Is something the matter?"

"It's nothing serious, just a call from the police asking me to sign something."

"Your settlement agreement with Qiao Yuqi?"

“Yes,” Qiao Wanwan said truthfully, “The Gu family wants to protect Qiao Yuqi. If I pursue this matter, she will also pursue the matter of Lin Mo and you injuring her. I don’t want that to happen.”

“Wanwan, no one dares to hold me accountable.”

“I know, but I don’t want to involve Lin Mo.”

The man frowned slightly. "Are you afraid of being a burden to him?"

“Of course, it’s not good to burden someone who’s not related to you.” Qiao Wanwan saw his jealousy and suppressed a laugh. “Unlike you, you’re my husband, so you have to be a burden whether you want to or not.”

The gloom on Zhan Jingting's face vanished instantly. "Then leave this to me."

“No need.” Qiao Wanwan shook her head. “The police just told me on the phone that Qiao Yuqi is pregnant with Gu Xulin’s child, so the Gu family must protect her. The Gu family has its own power, and you will suffer if you confront them head-on. So for now, this matter can only be left as it is. Most importantly, I have other plans.”

"What are your plans?"

"Zaozao's illness requires Qiao Yuqi's bone marrow, but she has always refused to donate. Now that she is pregnant, statistically speaking, there is a chance that the umbilical cord blood from her future child could be used for Zaozao."

"I see."

"Well, so just listen to me on this matter. Making appropriate concessions isn't a bad thing, and I have no intention of hurting her child. We can settle all the old and new scores after she gives birth."

"good."

When Qiao Wanwan arrived at the hospital, Qiao Yuqi was lying in bed recovering from her injuries, and she looked very unwell.

Upon seeing Qiao Wanwan, Qiao Yuqi couldn't hide the hatred in her eyes. "Qiao Wanwan, you're lucky you're still alive!"

"You're not dead yet, how dare I die first?" Qiao Wanwan smiled calmly. "Qiao Yuqi, you knew you were pregnant all along, and you knew the Gu family valued this child and would definitely protect you, so you dared to attack me, right?"

"You are very smart."

"You flatter me," Qiao Wanwan said, looking at her pale face. "But the Gu family only cares about the child, otherwise why wouldn't they even give you painkillers?"

Qiao Yuqi's expression changed. "Qiao Wanwan, don't be so smug! I'm not taking painkillers myself. I want to give birth to the healthiest child for Brother Xulin!"

Qiao Wanwan smiled and said, "Your excitement only confirms my suspicions."

Qiao Yuqi's hatred intensified, but it quickly dissipated. "Qiao Wanwan, I'm about to marry Brother Xulin and become the young mistress of the Gu family. And you? A despised divorced woman, what right do you have to laugh at me here?"

"I don't have time for that. I'd be disgusted to even laugh at you. Qiao Yuqi, now that you're pregnant, behave yourself and stop courting death."

Qiao Wanwan signed the settlement agreement and originally wanted to go upstairs to see Lin Mo, but after thinking about it, she gave up.

The situation between them is now awkward, and they can no longer see each other.

Qiao Wanwan went to the doctor's office to inquire, "How is Lin Mo?"

Ji Xingzhou raised an eyebrow. "He won't die."

"Of course I know I won't die. What I want to ask is when I can recover and be discharged from the hospital."

"Why don't you go to the ward and see for yourself?"

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"Please take good care of him, doctor. I'll go pay his medical bills first."

Just as Qiao Wanwan was about to leave, a cold voice came from behind her, "He was hurt like this for you, don't you feel any heartache at all? Or are you used to tormenting other people's feelings?"

Qiao Wanwan was taken aback, then turned to look at him.

The doctor was young and had an undeniably handsome face with captivating, upturned eyes.

Judging from his demeanor, he's no ordinary doctor.

Qiao Wanwan said, "It seems you know Lin Mo. You should know that I'm doing this for his own good. Any feelings that shouldn't exist should be nipped in the bud. It's not something a human being would do to go see him now and get entangled with him."

"Also, my husband is very possessive, so I hope this matter will not be publicized to avoid unnecessary confrontation."

After paying the fee, Qiao Wanwan returned to Wutong Bay. As soon as she entered, she heard Jiang Dong reporting, "Master Zhan, the matter you asked us to handle has been completed. Also, the car that hit Madam has been found. It was driven by a woman named Duan Yuanyuan. After the incident, she fled the country overnight."

"Duan Yuanyuan?" Qiao Wanwan walked into the room. "You said the person who tried to run me over was Duan Yuanyuan?"

"Yes, madam."

Qiao Wanwan couldn't believe it. "I knew she resented me, but I didn't expect it to be to this extent."

Zhan Jingting ordered, "Tell the Duan family to bring the person back, or they will face the consequences."

"Yes, Master Zhan."

Zhan Jingting pinched Qiao Wanwan's cheek. "You can do whatever you want with Qiao Yuqi, but it's my turn to do what you want with this, right?"

Qiao Wanwan readily agreed, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

......

That evening, Qiao Wanwan took a shower and went out. Zhan Jingting was walking in from outside.

Qiao Wanwan asked in surprise, "Why aren't you in a wheelchair anymore? Are the servants and bodyguards in your house reliable?"

“I gave the order that no one except Zheng Ma is allowed to go upstairs at night.”

"Oh." Qiao Wanwan was relieved. "You're not fully recovered yet, go to sleep early."

Zhan Jingting looked at her. "Mrs. Zhan, you don't still want to sleep on the sofa, do you?"

Qiao Wanwan pursed her lips slightly, "I...I'm not mentally prepared yet..."

Zhan Jingting gripped her shoulders, and Qiao Wanwan trembled violently as if by reflex.

Zhan Jingting immediately released her and explained, "Wanwan, I didn't mean to touch you. I just didn't want to sleep in a separate bed from you."

"But..." Qiao Wanwan's shoulders trembled slightly, "But I'm still very nervous..."
