Gu Yanfeng was exasperated. "Since you knew her identity, why didn't you just send her away safely? Don't think I don't know you wanted to kill her and had the bodyguards rape her. Otherwise, things wouldn't have come to this!"
Qiao Yuqi felt extremely wronged. "They've come to my door, of course I have to teach them a lesson. Am I supposed to just let them bully me?"
"You still dare to show Zhan Jingting any respect?" Gu Yanfeng was so angry he laughed. "You're really clueless. It's fine if you're courting death, but don't drag the Gu family down with you. With your pig brain, the Gu family will be dragged down by you sooner or later!"
After Gu Yanfeng finished speaking, he simply turned and left.
Qiao Yuqi's face turned pale with anger. "Gu Xulin, your father treated me like this, and you're not even going to say a word for me?"
Gu Xulin wanted to say something, but seeing her protruding belly, he held back. "Yuqi, take good care of yourself and stop causing trouble."
Qiao Yuqi was so angry she wanted to punch him. "How many times do I have to tell you before you understand? It was Qiao Wanwan who provoked me first, don't you know?!"
“I know Wanwan is impersonating the Ghost Hand Doctor, but my dad is right. Why did you let people humiliate her after you saw through her? If Zhan Jingting insists on settling accounts today, we are in the wrong, do you understand?”
"I don't understand!" Qiao Yuqi broke down in tears. "Why is Qiao Wanwan always better than me, always one step ahead of me, even her husband is better than mine? Why is that!"
Gu Xulin's face turned cold in an instant. "Qiao Yuqi, you look down on me now, don't you? But don't forget, Wanwan was my fiancée back then. You went to great lengths to snatch me back from her."
"You keep calling me 'Wanwan,' it sounds so natural to you," Qiao Yuqi sneered. "You regret marrying me, don't you? You were tempted when you saw Qiao Wanwan's alluring face, weren't you?"
"Incomprehensible!" Gu Xulin turned and left.
"You come back here right now!" Qiao Yuqi gripped the blanket tightly. "Gu Xulin, you've hit the nail on the head! You've got your eye on Qiao Wanwan! I knew you weren't a good person! Gu Xulin!"
There was only deathly silence in response to her.
......
Inside the black Rolls-Royce, Qiao Wanwan tidied her hair and asked, "Was Eleven a good girl at home?"
The man beside her looked displeased. "More obedient than you."
Qiao Wanwan smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Mr. Zhan, I really did come to rescue someone. Everything was fine until Qiao Yuqi was so despicable as to try and keep me here."
“She knows me too well. I guess she saw my every move on the surveillance footage, so she recognized me.”
“Wanwan, I know you are kind, but there’s no need to be so rude to people like this.”
“I didn’t want to help her, I just thought the child was innocent.” Qiao Wanwan sighed. “But this trip was a waste. She doesn’t trust me. If she doesn’t take her medicine on time, the child will not survive.”
"This is the retribution she deserves."
Qiao Wanwan nodded. "I've done my best. I guess it's her fate."
"Don't take such risks again." Zhan Jingting pulled her into his arms. "Although we are taking precautions, you need to know that they have guns. Bullets don't discriminate. If something happens, I can't afford the consequences."
"I understand." Qiao Wanwan leaned against his broad chest. "I promise you, I won't take any risks in the future, because I want to stay alive and grow old with you."
Zhan Jingting kissed her hair deeply, "Okay."
Back home, Shiyi was looking at her iPad. "Sister Wanwan, you're finally back! You didn't even take me with you when you went out to play!"
"Sister Wanwan has something to do, she's not going out to play." Qiao Wanwan took his iPad away. "It's already eleven o'clock, let's go to sleep."
"All right."
Qiao Wanwan carried Eleven back to the room to take a shower. Suddenly, Eleven remembered something and asked, "Sister Wanwan, what were you and Daddy doing in the bathroom last night?"
Qiao Wanwan's eyes widened in horror as she asked, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
“I woke up last night and heard you crying in the bathroom. Daddy wasn’t in bed; he must have gone to keep you company,” Eleven said apologetically. “I wanted to go see you, but I was too tired to get up.”
Qiao Wanwan swallowed nervously, and could only force herself to lie, "Eleven, Sister Wanwan fell in the bathroom last night, so she cried because of the pain. Your daddy came to help me up, and I didn't expect you to wake up just then."
Eleven looked at her with concern, "Sister Wanwan, where are you hurt? Let me blow on it for you."
Qiao Wanwan's heart was warmed, yet she also felt a pang of guilt.
She really didn't want to lie to the children, but she couldn't tell them the truth!
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore, thank you, Eleven."
Qiao Wanwan gave him a bath and carried him to bed.
Just as Shiyi fell asleep, Zhan Jingting came in and immediately tried to take Qiao Wanwan away.
"Stop it!" Qiao Wanwan hurriedly pushed him away. "I told you not to do anything reckless. He woke up at 11 o'clock last night and heard us making noise!"
"Really?" Zhan Jingting nodded, as if he was thinking. "It seems the bathroom door isn't soundproof enough; it needs to be replaced."
Qiao Wanwan: "......"!!
"Are you talking about replacing the door? I'm saying you can't do whatever you want!"
"Madam Zhan, your husband is a normal man in his prime," Zhan Jingting stated the facts.
Qiao Wanwan was taken aback by these words, "Then you also have to consider that Eleven is here."
"You can send her to be cared for by a maid."
"No, I'm used to watching over him myself; I don't trust the maid with it."
Zhan Jingting had no choice but to compromise, "Make room next door for him to sleep in, and have a maid keep watch over him, so you can hear anything immediately if anything happens."
Qiao Wanwan chuckled, "Mr. Zhan, you're willing to let Eleven live on the second floor?"
The entire second floor belonged to the couple; even Ruan Wanyi's room was arranged on the first floor, so she wasn't allowed to go up to the second floor.
"You like him so much, what can I do?"
Qiao Wanwan kissed the corner of his thin lips. "Eleven is really cute. Actually, many times, I forget that he is Wen Xue's son. I don't feel any discomfort at all, and I can't help but want to be good to him."
"Your nature is to love children."
"No, that's not it. Professor Yu has a grandson, and although I like him, I don't feel the same way about Eleven. I feel like there's an invisible force pulling me and Eleven together."
"This is the law of attraction; you are naturally radiant."
"Tsk tsk tsk." Qiao Wanwan pinched his cheek. "Mr. Zhan, you're so good with words."
Zhan Jingting raised an eyebrow. "So, can you reward me by coming with me to take a bath?"
Qiao Wanwan: "......"
"roll!"
......
Saturday arrived in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Wen Xue came to Wutong Bay to pick up Shiyi. She was quite polite to Qiao Wanwan, asking, "Is Shiyi's health condition good enough for tonight's banquet?"
"His health has been okay recently, and the intervals between his attacks are getting longer, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Wen Xue pleaded, "Miss Qiao, I'm still worried. For Eleven's health, could I ask you to attend the banquet? That way, if anything happens to Eleven, you can help him immediately."
