They dared to drug her, ran away, and then actually dared to come back! Did they really think she was an easy target?
Su Qinghe's eyes turned cold. She grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at him, then took a few steps to stand in front of him.
Ling Feng hurriedly dodged, but Su Qinghe still grabbed him by the neck.
Su Qinghe exerted force with her hands, showing no intention of showing any mercy.
Ling Feng's face turned bright red, but he didn't rush to resist.
"...I...am...pregnant...it's...your..."
He spoke haltingly, but Su Qinghe was stunned by the end of his sentence.
"You ate the pregnancy fruit? How dare you!"
Despite her shock, Su Qinghe released him.
She didn't think he was lying; such things could be easily investigated. Even if it were just for temporary self-preservation, killing him would be as easy as turning her hand.
"You have to take responsibility for me."
Ling Feng caught his breath, but remained calm when facing Su Qinghe, showing no sign of panic despite being a man pregnant out of wedlock.
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Su Qinghe laughed in exasperation.
Without greeting him, she went to sit down behind her desk by herself.
"Take responsibility? Why should I take responsibility for you? Just because of an unformed embryo? I'm sorry, you might not understand what I mean, but it's a child that doesn't even have a human form yet."
"If we were any rougher, it would just be a pool of blood, wouldn't it?"
Su Qinghe looked at her coldly. Although she knew it was cruel to say it, it was the truth. She, Su Qinghe, was not someone who could be easily threatened, let alone something that was insignificant to her.
Unlike the women of this world, she didn't value offspring as much. Besides, she had been a mercenary for many years and had countless lives on her hands. She had even killed pregnant women, let alone him.
It was nothing more than a thing without any thoughts, and it couldn't stir any waves in her heart.
A look of surprise flashed across Ling Feng's eyes, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
The coldness Su Qinghe is showing now is completely different from the gentle, considerate, and loyal image he has observed over the past few days.
Su Qinghe remained unmoved by the man's silence and picked up her pen again to write something on the paper.
"No matter what your reasons were for having a relationship with me, whether it was out of loneliness or to take advantage of me, I will not acknowledge this child."
Hearing her heartless words, Ling Feng clenched his fists and took a few steps closer, only stopping when he was blocked by the table.
“I won’t let you take responsibility for nothing. I have a dowry, a lot of it.”
Su Qinghe didn't even look up, continuing to write her things. "I don't need it, I have plenty of money."
"Get out of here while I'm not thinking of killing you yet."
Ling Feng didn't move, but instead threw out more bait.
"It's not just about money. If you're willing to marry me, you can use my family's influence as you please."
Su Qinghe paused, then looked up to signal him to continue.
Ling Feng stared at her.
"Aren't you annoyed by the constant assassination attempts lately? They're from the Seven Kill Pavilion, and I'm the eldest son of the Seven Kill Pavilion."
He shut his mouth after saying that, waiting quietly for Su Qinghe's reaction.
"Seven Killings Pavilion? Young Master? You? Heh..."
Su Qinghe covered her head and chuckled softly.
"So I've been getting assassinated day and night because of you? And now you want me to marry you? Do you think that's possible?"
She stopped laughing and looked at him coldly.
Ling Feng pursed his lips. "I'm sorry."
“Some changes have occurred within the pavilion. If I want to inherit the position of pavilion master, I must find someone whose skills are superior to mine. However, there is no such person among my peers. I think you are very suitable.”
After thinking for a moment, Ling Feng explained the current situation of the Seven Kill Pavilion to Su Qinghe, including the purpose of his trip.
Su Qinghe listened quietly, then looked at him with a strange expression.
"So, according to you, your wife has to marry into your family? But I already have a husband, and we're almost a child. That doesn't meet the requirements of Elder Qiu in your department."
"Besides... I don't agree to having a girl who takes your surname."
Su Qinghe refused without hesitation. Although she wasn't that obsessed with whose surname the child should take, why should she agree to his request?
If it were a man I liked, that would be fine, but what makes him so special?
Seeing her refuse so readily, Ling Feng was not discouraged and continued to offer even greater temptations.
"The Seven Killings Pavilion's influence extends across several major countries, and no one in the entire martial arts world dares to provoke it. Even the royal family cannot easily shake it. If you marry me, although you may not be able to become a marquis or prime minister, you can still walk around in Dawu with your head held high!"
"As for marrying into the family, that's just a temporary measure to keep Qiu Shan occupied. I'm already pregnant. As long as you're willing to admit to marrying me, they won't be able to do anything to me. If the first child isn't a girl, we can have another one."
Ling Feng hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"At worst... I still have two younger brothers..."
"Stop!"
Knowing what he meant, Su Qinghe quickly interrupted him, frowning as she looked at him.
How do you know your brothers are willing?
Ling Feng looked at her intently.
“They can see the situation clearly. If I don’t succeed, they will be arranged to marry people from Qiushan anyway. Since they are going to marry anyway, they might as well marry you.”
Su Qinghe raised an eyebrow.
"Do I look like a good person? Aren't you afraid that I'll treat them badly if they marry into the family?"
"No." Ling Feng shook his head without hesitation.
“You treat your husband very well, he’s not that kind of person. If you marry him, you will definitely take responsibility.”
Su Qinghe leaned back in her chair; it seemed he had been secretly watching her all along.
A silence fell over the room. Su Qinghe tilted her head in thought, while Ling Feng watched her intently.
"From what you just said, that Qiu Shan has deep roots in the Pavilion and has people in many forces. If I really marry you, won't I be targeted by her for revenge?"
Su Qinghe shook her head.
The forces within the Seven Killings Pavilion are complex and intertwined. If she were to get involved, she would likely face endless troubles, and Qiu Shan would do everything in his power to kill her.
Although she wasn't afraid, she couldn't worry about Lin Xi and the other men, as they might be in danger.
Moreover... she really hates trouble. Having been given a second chance at life, all she wants now is to earn a lot of money and then live a carefree, retirement life.
Having made up her mind, she sat up straight and stared intently at the man in front of her.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in the infighting within your organization, and I don't need such a large force. Young master, you should find someone else."
"As for this child... it's better not to keep him."
Su Qinghe stood up abruptly and punched the man in the stomach.
Ling Feng, who was still pondering a countermeasure after receiving the answer, was startled. He hurriedly reached out to cover his lower abdomen, his waist bent backward instantly, and he lost his footing and jumped down the steps.
"Young Master!"
Seeing that things were going badly, Xiaoying rushed in, but was stopped by Nanfeng who came in through the door.
The two fought fiercely, neither able to gain the upper hand.
