He even threatened Song Xiwei in a fit of pique, saying, "You can only save one of us, me or her. Just hand me over and save her. After all, this girl is pregnant, so you'll still come out ahead."
Aoqian's sudden sarcastic tone startled Song Xiwei.
She was puzzled and amazed that Aoqian, who had been silent all along, would mock her like this.
There was a hint of annoyance in his tone.
Song Xiwei inexplicably recalled that Aoqian seemed to have said something similar before, telling Xiaozhuang to leave or she to get out too.
"Young Master, it's come to this, don't act like a child!" Song Xiwei advised with a slight headache.
Ao Qian glanced coldly at Yuan Qi, as if looking at a corpse, "Your belly is so big, and you still like to seduce men?"
Yuan Qi's face turned deathly pale, and tears of grievance welled up in her eyes. "I didn't, I didn't seduce any men..."
Song Xiwei was speechless at Ao Qian's sharp words. She glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you say such things!"
"Nonsense?... Heh, men and women should not touch each other. Now that you are a mother, you should be even more careful about your boundaries, shouldn't you?" Aoqian's gaze fell on Song Xiwei and Yuan Qi's intertwined hands.
Song Xiwei suddenly released Yuan Qi's hand.
She completely forgot that she was supposed to keep her distance from women while dressed as a man.
Yuan Qi was also taken aback. She was naturally a person of principle and not someone who acted rashly. She was probably too afraid of being captured by those people, which made her lose her composure.
However, when Yuan Qi thought back to the moment she held Song Xiwei's hand, the feeling seemed...
Before Yuan Qi could think it through, Ao Qian stepped forward silently and stood between the two of them.
He spoke expressionlessly, but his voice was filled with a powerful pressure: "I won't beat around the bush with you. You were hiding inside the wall just now, so you must have heard what we were saying! Some secrets, once you know them, may not be a good thing."
Yuan Qi's pupils contracted, and she instinctively took a step back, her whole body trembling. "I...I didn't mean to..."
"Young Master, she's pregnant, don't scare her like that!" Song Xiwei reached out and tugged at Aoqian's sleeve.
Aoqian ignored her and coldly said to Yuan Qi, "Rather than letting your unborn child suffer in the hands of those people, it's better to end it sooner and be at ease."
"Young Master!!" Song Xiwei couldn't stand it anymore, punched Aoqian on the back, and angrily shoved Aoqian aside.
Looking at Yuan Qi, who was pale with fright, Song Xiwei quickly comforted her: "Don't listen to his nonsense! He's just a bit sharp-tongued, but he's a good person. Don't get agitated. I promise you, with me here, you and the baby in your womb will be safe and sound!"
"Song Xiwei, are you out of your mind!" Aoqian interrupted her angrily from the side: "You are my subordinate. I want to silence her, but you want to go against me and protect her and her child? You're really something!"
Song Xiwei ignored Aoqian and simply nodded seriously to Yuan Qi, "Go over there and rest for a while. I'll take care of the rest!"
Yuan Qi was quite frightened. She nodded timidly, not daring to look at Ao Qian behind Song Xiwei. She quickly moved away to a few wine jars further away, where she huddled and didn't dare to move.
Song Xi turned her head slightly and saw Ao Qian clenching his fists, looking like he was about to breathe fire.
She instantly broke down in her composure and burst into laughter.
"You're still laughing!" Aoqian gritted his teeth.
Song Xiwei reached out and hooked his arm around Aoqian's shoulder with some effort, saying to him in a friendly manner, "You are destined to be the Demon Lord, and Miss Yuan Qi is your subject. Is it wrong for me to help the young lord protect his subjects?"
Ao Qian glared at her, gritting his teeth, "Overstepping your bounds!!"
