Qin Yi tossed aside his cigarette and looked at the two of them indifferently, "You two bachelors have nothing better to do. I need to go home and be with my wife, so I won't keep you company."

Qin Yi turned around, went home, and closed the door. Jiang Baiyuan looked at the closed door, exhaled a smoke ring, and walked away.

Lin Changchun was left all alone, standing bewildered in the wind. He was a bachelor, but he wasn't proud of it.

He even thoughtfully spent the whole day running around with them, helping this person and that person. What did he get in return?

Qin Yi returned to his room and saw Su Wan sitting at the table in a daze. He went up to her and hugged her, saying, "Wanwan, you must be tired today, so get some rest."

Su Wan leaned her head against Qin Yi's chest. She was indeed very tired today, both physically and mentally, and felt inexplicably weak.

After experiencing severe fright, people always need time to recover. Those with good mental fortitude may recover after a few days of rest, while those with poor mental fortitude and physical weakness may fall seriously ill.

Qin Yi felt a pang of pain in his heart. It was a close call today. He had no idea that Su Wan had been targeted by Zheng Qing the day she escorted Cui Zhengming.

Cui Zhengming was afraid of implicating Su Xun, so he cautiously didn't let Su Wan send too many things, but Zheng Qing's people still noticed, and now things are getting more and more complicated.

According to the information found, Zheng Qing was present at the place where Su Shikun disappeared.

If these two events are a coincidence, then this coincidence is too much of a coincidence.

What does Zhengqing want to do?

Why did he drag Su Shikun into this? What do they want to do to Su Wan?

And then there's what happened today. He went to the place where Zhengqing and Su Wan parted ways and found many snake corpses on the ground. Last time, before Su Qing died, she was also bitten by many snakes that had attached themselves to her body.

What is the relationship between these two?

Looking at Su Wan's deep sleeping face, Qin Yi couldn't help but ponder. Were they targeting Su Wan? If it was a coincidence, then it was too much to ignore. If it wasn't a coincidence, then Su Wan's safety was a concern. Qin Yi barely slept all night.

The next morning, Su Wan opened her eyes and saw a handsome face in front of her, looking at her seriously. The moment she opened her eyes, their eyes met, and Su Wan couldn't help but smile.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Her tone was languid and charming as Qin Yi gently stroked her face with his large hand, saying, "Look how beautiful my wife is."

Qin Yi always seemed extremely serious, and now he answered so earnestly that there was no trace of joking in his voice. Su Wan couldn't help but gently whisper, "Hug me."

Su Wan felt incredibly relaxed, nestled in the familiar, warm embrace. Last night, she had a long dream, filled with images of swords and shadows, Su Qing's death scene, and Zheng Qing's vicious face after drugging her.

Su Wan thought about it and decided not to tell Qin Yi about her affairs, as he would definitely worry if she did.

She can work with Cui Zhengming to find a solution, and then slowly talk to him about it later.

After hugging for a while, Su Wan got off Qin Yi and looked at him with a bright smile: "I want to eat the food you cook."

Qin Yi looked at Su Wan with eyes full of affection: "Okay, you go wash up first, I'll go cook."

"Um."

Qin Yi got up and went out to cook. Su Wan went to the bathroom alone. She looked at herself carefully in the mirror and saw something wriggling below her collarbone. Su Wan pressed hard, and the thing disappeared into her flesh in an instant, as fast as if it had never been there.

Su Wan felt a pang of fear. Looking at her pale face in the mirror, she let out a long sigh, washed her face with water, and after a long while, her complexion finally improved. As if she had made up her mind, Su Wan turned around, opened the door, and went out.

"Come on, Wanwan, come and eat."

Grandma Qin greeted Su Wan with a cheerful smile. Qin Yi was bringing out Su Wan's favorite steamed eggs and vegetarian buns. Su Wan smiled with her eyes crinkling. The four of them ate together in a lively atmosphere. Qin Yi got up and went to clear the dishes.

Su Wan and Cui Zhengming exchanged a barely perceptible glance before quickly looking away. The two chatted casually with Grandma Qin, and Su Wan kept Grandma Qin all smiles.

"You little rascal, you're just good at making me happy!"

"I'm telling the truth. If Grandma really dressed up, she would be more fashionable than young people these days," Su Wan said with a proud look.

Qin Yi dried his hands and walked over, reminding Su Wan with concern, "If you're still not feeling well at noon, don't push yourself. Wait for me to come back and cook."

Grandma Qin had also heard Qin Yi recount what had happened to Su Wan yesterday, and she said with some concern, "Wanwan, if you feel unwell, you must tell us."

Su Wan got up and turned around: "Grandma, don't listen to him. Look at me, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? I had a check-up yesterday, and there's nothing wrong with me."

Su Wan told Grandma Qin about Chen Qianlan's examination of her yesterday. Grandma Qin listened and nodded, "If Qianlan says it's nothing, we should observe her for a while, but we can't let our guard down."

Su Wan smiled and agreed.

Cui Zhengming chimed in from the side, "Grandma, have you forgotten me? I can treat illnesses too."

Grandma Qin slapped her thigh and looked at Cui Zhengming as if she had seen a savior: "Stop talking! You're injured, so take good care of yourself and get well soon so you can take good care of my Wanwan."

Qin Yi glanced at Cui Zhengming and Su Wan, feeling that they were hiding something from him but neither of them would say anything. Both of them were smart people, and there must be a reason why they didn't say anything.

Su Wan accompanied the worried Qin Yi out the door. "Alright, I'll take good care of myself. I'm not going anywhere today, so you can rest assured now, right?"

Qin Yi nodded, turned around, and strode away.

As Qin Yi's figure disappeared from her sight, Su Wan's smile vanished instantly, replaced by an overwhelming sorrow.

When Su Wan entered the door, Grandma Qin was preparing to go out for a walk and was asking Cui Zhengming if he wanted to go with her. "I won't go, Grandma. I didn't sleep well last night and I need to catch up on my sleep today. Tomorrow, I will definitely go with you tomorrow."

Grandma Qin glanced at Su Wan with concern, "Wanwan, you should go and rest for a while. I'll make lunch when I get back, you don't need to lift a finger."

"Okay, Grandma."

The sound of Grandma Qin closing the door rang out, and Cui Zhengming's hand was already on Su Wan's pulse. Neither of them spoke, and Cui Zhengming focused on taking her pulse. After a few minutes, Cui Zhengming asked with a serious expression, "How do you feel now?"

Su Wan thought for a moment, then said softly, "I suddenly feel palpitations, like something is moving inside my body. Just this morning, I noticed a lump here, but when I touched it, it quickly disappeared..."

Su Wan told Cui Zhengming her feelings in detail.

Cui Zhengming's expression grew increasingly grave as he listened. Zhengqing was trying to control Su Wan, and had even resorted to such methods.

He originally thought that Su Wan had only been poisoned by something Zheng Qing had put on her, but he didn't expect that Zheng Qing would even use a Gu poison on Su Wan.

Su Wan looked at Cui Zhengming's increasingly serious expression and had a vague guess in her mind. However, she didn't understand why Zhengqing would target her.

They were originally two strangers. Yesterday, after seeing Cui Zhengming off, she simply gave someone directions out of kindness, and then her body started to feel uncontrollably palpitations.
