So even when faced with Fu Nanxiao's disapproving gaze, she did not back down and met his eyes directly.

The two confronted each other in silence.

After a long pause, Fu Nanxiao sighed softly.

He said with some helplessness, "I'm worried about your safety, Lai Lai. I don't want you to experience kidnapping a second time."

Because the moment she was shot, he truly felt as if his heart was about to stop beating.

He absolutely never wanted to experience that feeling again.

So when he saw that Jiang Yilai still wanted to say something, he didn't compromise.

Fu Nanxiao made the final decision: "I will have them follow at a distance, but the bodyguards cannot be withdrawn."

Once he adopts this attitude, it's absolutely unchangeable.

Jiang Yilai felt a wave of frustration.

No matter how Fu Nanxiao changes, he remains domineering and tyrannical at heart.

Two more days passed, and Jiang Yilai still couldn't get Fu Nanxiao to remove his bodyguards.

One morning, when she went to the toilet, she found some faint blood on her underwear.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Jiang Yilai was afraid that something was wrong with the child.

She wanted to go to the hospital, but if she did, the bodyguard would definitely tell Fu Nanxiao.

If Fu Nanxiao were to check her medical records, everything would be over.

In her frantic state, she suddenly thought of someone.

Li Luyao.

After all, he's the only one who knows she's pregnant right now.

Jiang Yilai was also desperate and tried anything.

She sent a message to Li Luyao.

But considering that he had only recently returned to China, I didn't hold out much hope.

To everyone's surprise, Li Luyao sent an address directly.

Jiang Yilai didn't hesitate and went that very day.

They met in front of a private restaurant.

Li Luyao glanced into the distance: "Those two are Fu Nanxiao's bodyguards?"

“Yes.” Jiang Yilai nodded: “After we go in, they will come in too. Is there really a way to keep it from them?”

Li Luyao smiled gently, her lips curving upwards: "If you need it, I'll find a way even if I can't."

Jiang Yilai opened her mouth.

She whispered, "Thank you."

You're too kind.

Li Luyao knew when to stop.

He led Jiang Yilai inside, turning left and right, until they entered another private room.

The two bodyguards didn't go inside; instead, they found a table with a view of the private room door and sat down.

Once inside the private room, Li Luyao skillfully pushed open a hidden door.

Behind the hidden door was a small office.

Jiang Yilai saw various prenatal examination instruments inside, and a bed behind the curtain.

A middle-aged woman was waiting there.

Li Luyao stood outside the curtain: "Go in, I'll wait for you here."

Jiang Yilai nodded.

The middle-aged woman was very professional and had a very gentle attitude.

Moreover, she didn't ask any questions about my identity or privacy.

This put Jiang Yilai at ease.

During the ultrasound, the doctor suddenly asked, "Would the baby's father like to come in and see the baby?"

Jiang Yilai was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was talking about Li Luyao.

"He's not..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Luyao's voice came: "May I go in? After all, I have a connection with this child."

Jiang Yilai opened her mouth.

She had no choice but to nod: "Come in."

Li Luyao lifted the curtain.

He glanced at Jiang Yilai lying on the bed, then politely looked away, avoiding looking at her exposed lower abdomen.

The doctor held the probe and slid it around on Jiang Yilai's stomach.

A blurry image appeared on the screen.

"See that? That's the baby's heartbeat. It's moving. We're still very far along in the pregnancy. Just wait a little longer, and we'll be able to hear the heartbeat soon."
