Canglan glanced at Luo Jiaqi, who was fast asleep on the bed, and gently kissed her forehead. "Rest well, Jiaqi!"
"You all need to take good care of Miss Jiaqi. If anything happens to her, report to me immediately!" Canglan instructed the people around her, then turned and left.
He hadn't slept for almost a day and a night.
In fact, it wasn't just Luo Jiaqi who was tormented; he was probably suffering the same way too.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mr. and Mrs. Luo anxiously waiting at the entrance.
"She's out, she's out! How is Jiaqi?" Madam Luo hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"She's already asleep! Go in and check on her!" Canglan gave them a cold look.
"She just lost her child and is having a hard time accepting it. You should try to talk to her!" Canglan said calmly, as if she were talking about a trivial matter.
Madam Luo felt a tightness in her chest; Canglan was far too ruthless, actually…
But she dared not voice her complaints now. She had already witnessed Canglan's methods and dared not say anything more, for fear of displeasing him.
Mrs. Luo entered the room and saw Luo Jiaqi lying on the bed, pale and bloodless. She felt heartbroken and shed tears.
She hadn't expected their momentary greed; otherwise, it would have really harmed Jiaqi. She thought Canglan was still the same boy she used to be, someone easy to manipulate.
Luo Jiaqi woke up rather slowly this time, not until dawn the next day.
As soon as she woke up, she saw Madam Luo standing guard by her bedside.
"Jiaqi, you're finally awake! How are you? Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat? Or maybe some hot water?" Mrs. Luo asked with concern as soon as she saw Luo Jiaqi wake up.
"I don't want to eat anything! I don't want to eat anything! Mom! Leave me alone for a while!" Luo Jiaqi said blankly.
“My silly child, don’t scare me! I know this is a big blow to you, but things are already like this, what can you do if you don’t accept it?” Madam Luo quickly comforted her.
"Good child, Mom knows you've been wronged! But your health is the most important thing. You can't skip meals in your current condition! Otherwise, you'll only suffer more."
"Mom! The baby is gone!" Luo Jiaqi finally realized what had happened and collapsed onto the bed, wailing loudly.
Seeing Luo Jiaqi so heartbroken, Mrs. Luo couldn't help but wipe away her own tears.
"Alright, alright, my child! Stop crying! Crying too much will hurt your eyes! Stop thinking about it!" Madam Luo brought over some hot water.
Under Mrs. Luo's persuasion, Luo Jiaqi's emotions finally stabilized, and she stopped acting crazy and life-or-death.
News of what happened in Canglan soon reached Li Churan's ears.
"Cang Nan, I heard about what happened between you, Luo Jiaqi, and Qian Zhenghao!" Li Churan sighed. In fact, Cang Lan had already told him about his grudges with the Luo family.
Li Churan tacitly approved of Canglan's revenge, after all, in his eyes, the useless Luo family members were like abandoned pawns, while his capable subordinates were the real pillars of strength.
Especially after he learned about the time between Canglan and Luo Jiaqi, he felt a sense of shared misfortune.
In some ways, he and Canglan are similar, sharing the same hard work and perseverance in their youth, the same stubbornness in their feelings, and the same pride.
However, after hearing about what happened yesterday, he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart, thinking that Canglan's actions were really a bit too much.
"I know!" Canglan kept his head down, like a child who had made a mistake, but then he raised his head again. "But I don't regret it!"
"At least now Jiaqi finally belongs to me completely. I will slowly protect her, cherish her, and be with her forever."
"I know what I'm doing is selfish, but aren't people selfish? Whether she hates me or resents me, since fate has brought her back to my side, I will keep her firmly by my side and never let her go again!" A sweet smile appeared on Canglan's face.
"Maybe she resents me now, hates me, hates me for breaking everything she has now, but as time goes by, she will forget the pain she is in now. Women are forgetful."
Should we keep her firmly by our side?
Canglan is right, women are all forgetful.
Li Churan suddenly felt a sense of clarity and understanding.
Meanwhile, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen were still building the shelter and base.
The base is now like a large training ground, where Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen are constantly selecting suitable people to fill the shelter.
As the weather grew colder, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen finally welcomed their second snowfall.
After this heavy snowfall, the temperature has dropped to minus thirty-five degrees Celsius.
The heating has finally been turned on completely.
While everyone else in City A was struggling to survive in the freezing cold, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen were comfortably playing cards in the living room, dressed in light pajamas and holding coffee.
"Rocket!" Ye Ning excitedly tossed out the two jokers. "Anyone want one?"
"Ugh! Is it really okay to be so uncivilized?" Xiao Jingchen couldn't help but complain.
"Miss Ye, you really are something, knowing full well that we can't beat you!" said Brother Longfei, a burly man, with a wronged expression.
"Since you can't afford to take them all, then three sixes! Hahaha, I won again!" Ye Ning threw out six six sixes.
"Alright! Alright! I won! Do you want a sticker or a flick on the forehead?"
"This is so unfair! Why does Miss Ye always get the rockets?!" This has nothing to do with card skills, it's clearly cheating!
"Hahahaha! Maybe I'm just born with a divine body! Alright! Stop complaining! Shuffle the cards!"
Just as Brother Longfei was helplessly shuffling the cards, Aunt Wang pushed open the door and came in.
"Miss! Young Master Jingchen! It's time to eat!" Wang Ma called out, carrying a steamed yellow croaker in one hand.
"Okay! I understand!" Ye Ning reluctantly put down the cards she had just picked up.
Brother Longfei, however, looked at her as if she had seen a savior and said, "Miss Ye, you all go ahead and eat! I'll be going now!"
"Brother Longfei! No way! Why don't you eat here? We can continue after you finish eating!" Ye Ning said solicitously.
"Um! No, no! I'd better go first! Bozai is pregnant!" Brother Longfei took the opportunity to slip away quickly.
Bozai is Dahuang's girlfriend and one of the sled dogs that Brother Longfei keeps.
That's right! Big Yellow secretly fell in love during this time and even got its partner pregnant with its puppies.
He's been completely away from home these past few days.
