Chapter 222 I'm pregnant... Help me...
Ji Ying took the incense and casually placed it on the table.
It was true that she wasn't interested in this; she wasn't just making excuses for Xie Yunshu.
In the middle of the night, Ji Ying woke up again because of the heat.
Just as she was about to turn over, she found herself firmly held in Liang Yizhi's arms.
She struggled slightly, but the person behind her tightened their arms, their warm breath brushing against the back of her neck.
"Xie Mingxuan is even more cunning than your brother. Aren't you afraid he'll find out?"
Liang Yizhi's voice was heavy with sleepiness, lower and more sensual than usual.
"He's drunk, sleeping like a log. Don't you trust your husband's abilities?"
Ji Ying's ears burned slightly. She nudged him gently with her elbow and asked, "Did you drink a lot too?"
"Um."
He closed his eyes, like a big dog that loves to cuddle with its owner.
The air was filled with the scent of his shower gel, mixed with a faint smell of alcohol. It wasn't unpleasant; on the contrary, it gave people a sense of peace.
"Drink less in the future."
Ji Ying's voice was very soft, carrying a concern that she herself was unaware of.
"I'll listen to you."
He hugged her even tighter.
Ji Ying originally wanted to ask him about the sandalwood scent on Xie Mingxuan, but when she heard his breathing become heavier, she couldn't bear to disturb him any longer.
She lay there alone, her eyes open, piecing together clues in the darkness.
Just as her thoughts were in turmoil, she heard his voice above her head, which sounded sleepy yet unusually clear.
"I've taken note of Xie Mingxuan's matter. A fox will always show its tail eventually. The Xie family is a dangerous place, so this is a good opportunity to investigate."
"I'm just relying on my sense of smell; I have no evidence. Do you really believe everything I say?"
Liang Yizhi smiled and lifted her nightgown.
"You're my wife. If I don't trust you, why should I trust a stranger?"
Ji Ying's breathing became slightly labored, and she remained silent for a moment.
“You were asleep just now, holding it in,” the man said, his breathing a little heavy. “Since you have so much energy, why don’t we do something more meaningful?”
Ji Ying's whole body stiffened as she pushed him.
"Xie Yunshu gave me some calming incense; you're probably having trouble sleeping..."
Liang Yizhi placed her hands on top of her head.
"Don't touch those things. Wouldn't it help your husband sleep better if he got an injection?"
Ji Ying, "..."
The next day, Liang Yizhi was still nowhere to be found.
At breakfast time, Xie Yunshu was slightly taken aback when she saw Ji Ying looking radiant in the restaurant.
She didn't even use the calming incense.
Before Xie Yunshu could think it through, she saw Liang Jian eagerly pull out a chair for Ji Ying and let her sit next to him.
Ji Ying's reaction, however, was quite indifferent.
Everyone was preoccupied with their own thoughts and failed to notice the fleeting jealousy in Xie Yunshu's eyes.
At the other end of the table, Xie Mingxuan was talking to Liang Weiyue.
“My father asked me to personally deliver this century-old Korean ginseng to my sister for her recuperation. You’ve kept her locked up for so long, not even letting me see her. It’s not reasonable, is it?”
Upon hearing the word "ginseng," Ji Ying couldn't help but think of Xie Lingfang's ravaged face, and a smile appeared on her face.
Xie Mingxuan glared at her fiercely, then turned to look at Liang Weiyue again, waiting for his reaction.
Liang Weiyue's expression darkened.
"Should we leave her alone, or let her continue releasing snakes into the house? Or should we hand her over to the police and let the law help her repent?"
“Brother-in-law, there’s no need to make a scene about family matters. My sister was just confused for a moment.”
"She was so foolish that she almost caused a death; she really knows how to cause trouble."
As he spoke, Liang Weiyue stood up.
"Don't you know what kind of person she is? I'm only keeping her locked up out of consideration for the relationship between our two families. There's no room for negotiation on this matter!"
After he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Xie Mingxuan immediately turned his attention to Ji Ying, "Are you laughing at me?"
Ji Ying slowly put down her chopsticks, picked up a napkin to wipe the corner of her mouth, and then looked up at him with a cold and icy gaze.
"Mr. Xie thinks too highly of himself. In my heart, you are not even worthy of being a joke."
Xie Mingxuan suffered a setback with Liang Weiyue and then got pricked by Ji Ying, causing his temper to explode instantly.
"you……"
“Uncle,” Liang Jian quickly stood up, “Yingying means that you are not a joke. Dad’s attitude is tough, and Mom’s matter… I’m afraid you’ll have to trouble yourself.”
Xie Mingxuan was reminded of the important matters at the Liang residence by him, and calmed down for a moment.
Ji Ying had no intention of staying any longer. After finishing her meal, she left the restaurant and went to work.
Although Xue Mingxuan didn't say anything more, a sinister glint appeared in his eyes.
On the surface, he came for Xie Lingfang, but his real target was Ji Ying.
...
Ji Ying was busy at the company until the afternoon before she had time to leave early to get her hair done.
As I stepped out of the hair salon, dusk had already quietly painted the sky.
She casually bought a blueberry mousse from the cake shop next door and then got into the driver's seat.
The cake was laid flat on the passenger seat. She had just leaned over to pull her seatbelt when there was a "bang".
A tremendous impact propelled her body forward with inertia, her forehead slamming heavily against the steering wheel. She was then bounced back, the back of her head hitting the seat back.
Ji Ying felt dizzy, and suddenly heard a woman's almost screaming cry in her ears. A blinding red flashed before her eyes again.
"How are you? Can you hear me?"
Jiang Ran rushed over and opened the car door to check on Ji Ying's condition.
Her voice was like a ray of light, pulling Ji Ying back from the bloodshot and buzzing of her consciousness.
"What happened?"
Her head was throbbing with pain. Despite feeling dizzy and nauseous, she instinctively turned her head to look behind the car.
The sight before him startled him for a moment.
Her car was hit on the left rear by a black sedan.
However, because her car had undergone expensive bulletproof modifications, only faint dents remained.
On the contrary, the front third of the black sedan was damaged and deformed.
However, the real epicenter was just around the corner.
Jiang Ran's car, with a resolute manner, slammed into the front of the black sedan from the side.
It was this powerful blow that deflected the impact of the black sedan at the last second, which greatly reduced the shock that Ji Ying ultimately felt.
Otherwise, if the black sedan were to crash into her with full force, the immense inertia would be unbearable for her.
"Let's go see who it is?"
Ji Ying got out of the car, and Jiang Ran helped her up.
Her steps were still a little unsteady.
The two walked to the black sedan, and the central locking system clicked open.
Jiang Ran opened the car door without ceremony, and inside sat Xie Yunshu, who was deathly pale!
"It really was you!"
Jiang Ran was furious and reached out to pull her out, but Ji Ying held her down.
Xie Yunshu weakly turned her head, looking at Ji Ying with sorrowful eyes, her voice trembling with pain: "I'm pregnant... my stomach hurts so much... help me..."
Ji Ying's brows furrowed instantly.
