Small villages on the mountainside and along the coast
The taxi slowly drove along the winding road, turning and twisting.
Inside the RV, Yuan Heng's eyes were practically sparkling as he muttered under his breath, "Where is this place? Will we even be able to find our way back after we leave? Even the winding mountain roads aren't this bad!"
Sheng Xuan drove slowly behind the taxi.
"Look, there are medicinal herbs drying by the roadside! She loves making medicinal cuisine, and since she's been sick, she'd definitely choose a place like this to recuperate."
Yuan Heng finally smiled and exclaimed excitedly, "It seems there are quite a few medicinal herbs growing on the mountain! That's fantastic!"
The southern region of N country is keen on cultivating and selling Chinese medicinal herbs, and is currently the main supplier in the domestic medicinal herb market.
Ah Lang often deals with local medicine merchants and has acquaintances here, so finding a place to stay shouldn't be difficult.
A little while later, the taxi stopped in front of a detached villa at the foot of the mountain.
The car door opened, and Jiang Lirong stepped out, opened the small gate outside the villa, walked straight across the lush green lawn, and rang the doorbell.
A moment later, the door opened automatically.
Jiang Lirong walked in with practiced ease and closed the door behind him.
Sheng Xuan and Yuan Heng exchanged a glance and got out of the car one after the other.
Yuan Heng walked ahead at a brisk pace. After walking halfway, he couldn't help but stop and look back—to his surprise, he found Sheng Xuan still standing outside the fence.
"Hey? What are you doing?"
Sheng Xuan hesitated, then whispered, "She...maybe she's angry with me. She's sick and can't get too agitated. What if she doesn't want to see me and tries to kick us out, or even refuses to go back to China for surgery?"
Yuan Heng was taken aback, then blurted out, "Of course we should try to persuade them!"
Sheng Xuan's eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "She's never been someone who's easy to persuade. If she still refuses, or even tries to convince us instead, then without saying a word, we'll just tie her up and put her in the car!"
Yuan Heng was startled, but after calming down and thinking it over, he finally nodded.
He had considered things much more thoroughly than I had. Ah Lang was a calm and composed person with a deep and clear mind, so persuading her would be incredibly difficult.
In necessary circumstances, special measures may have to be taken.
So, Sheng Xuan strode forward with her head held high and rang the doorbell, while Yuan Heng waited anxiously to the side.
After waiting for a while, a beautiful woman wearing a loose-fitting long dress opened the door.
Her hands were slender and delicate, her eyes were calm and serene, her complexion was fair, and her face was tranquil.
Sheng Xuan looked at her, and she looked at him. One's eyes were full of excitement, anger, helplessness, and love, while the other's were as calm as a quiet night, as vast as the universe.
Yuan Heng gasped, his hand trembling as he pointed to Ning Lang's noticeably protruding lower abdomen.
"...So big?! What is it?"
Sheng Xuan's gaze was also drawn to it, and he was startled!
Ning Lang smiled slightly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"It seems that Senior Jiang leaked our whereabouts, giving you the opportunity to follow us. We've come a long way, haven't we? Come on in."
Sheng Xuan stood there, stunned and motionless.
Yuan Heng stared in disbelief, his face turning pale.
"Um... Ah Lang, I felt something was off when I hugged you last time! You—what kind of tumor is this?! It's so big! How can you not have surgery?! Are you trying to scare us to death and make us worry to death?!"
Ning Lang blushed slightly and chuckled softly.
"Aheng, you've misunderstood. It's not a tumor. I'm just pregnant."
ah?!
Yuan Heng was dumbfounded!
Sheng Xuan rushed forward and pulled Ning Lang into his arms, holding her tightly with both hands.
