Zi Xi looked incredulous: "Tie me up?? This isn't just about calling the police! This is coercion."
After all, Bai Qianqian is the female lead; she just doesn't have the male lead's support anymore. How did things turn out like this?
"Yes, people in the village heard that she had been hiding from her family, but she went to the school gate and made a scene, so her family found her. Her parents were afraid that she would ruin her younger brother's future, and they also felt that she was becoming more and more disobedient, so they simply decided to get a large dowry once and for all."
Her roommate also sighed, but this was Bai Qianqian's own choice. Since she was hiding from her family, she shouldn't have made such a big show of it by broadcasting it live at the school gate and causing a scene.
Several girls felt uncomfortable upon hearing this gossip. Putting aside the fact that Bai Qianqian framed Zi Xi, they could empathize with each other, being girls themselves.
The greenhouse suddenly became quiet.
Fu Senran appeared behind Zi Xi at some point, holding a freshly warmed baby bottle in his hand. He coldly swept his gaze over everyone and said, "You brought this on yourself. There's no need to be sad."
The roommates immediately fell silent, then chuckled awkwardly and changed the subject: "Haha, you're right, we should respect other people's fates."
"Yes, yes, her fate depends on how she chooses to live."
"Yes, there's a saying that goes, 'Good and evil are just a thought away!'"
Zi Xi nodded in agreement. Perhaps only the male lead would carefully protect the female lead's exceptionally delicate physique; without him, she would be nothing.
Otherwise, why would Heaven have been helping the female lead from the very beginning and not paying much attention to the male lead?
She looked up at Fu Senran, and he looked down at her, a smile playing on his lips.
It's alright, no one else cares, from now on the male lead will be under her control!
Fu Senran bent down, placed the baby bottle beside her, and gently touched the baby's cheek with her fingertips.
Yes, the difference between good and evil is just a thought away.
That's why he didn't act on his evil intention to imprison Zixi, which is why he is so happy now.
Although she was still a little unhappy that the little guy was stealing her wife's attention, with the nanny taking care of him, Zixi had almost all her time to herself, and that was enough.
"Isn't it time for Little Cool Baby to cut the cake?"
Dr. Wan walked over with a glass of champagne, breaking the delicate atmosphere at just the right moment.
Fu Senran straightened up, his thoughts returning to normal, and nodded.
He reached out and hugged Cool Baby. The little guy squirmed in his arms, unconsciously grabbed his fingers, and smacked his lips.
Zi Xi looked at this scene and suddenly smiled.
The sunlight was still gentle, and laughter and chatter filled the greenhouse once more, as if the gossip from just moments before was merely a fleeting, insignificant breeze that dissipated as soon as it was finished.

Meanwhile, as Bai Qianqian sat numbly in the pigsty scrubbing the swill bucket, the wound on her left ear reopened.
Blood mixed with dirty water flowed down his neck, sticking together with the old wound from the day before yesterday when Old Chen whipped him with a belt, like a rotting centipede.
"You slut, hurry up and swipe the card! I'm not buying you for 500,000 to be a pampered mistress!"
Her mother-in-law's spittle sprayed onto her face.
After washing the slop bucket, Bai Qianqian returned to the bridal chamber and lay down. She vaguely remembered her past life, when Fu Senran had imprisoned her. But that bedroom had a Persian carpet, and the strawberries he bought for her tasted as sweet as if they were dipped in honey.
"Smack!"
A slap brought her back to reality from her bed.
Old Chen, drunk, grabbed her hair and yelled, "What are you daydreaming about! Go get me some water to wash my feet!"
As she was being dragged across the muddy ground, she saw the broken motorcycle parked in the corner of the yard. It was the motorcycle she had used to escape last week, but was later caught by the Chen family. Her fingernail scratches were still visible on the motorcycle's fuel tank.
