Time flies, and in May, when spring is in full bloom, Chu Yuan enters her pregnancy period.
She had a single birth, a son.
At that time, she wasn't thinking about carrying on the Ning family line; rather, it was the original owner's wish to have a bunch of children who looked like Ning Mochen.
Ning Mochen's features were refined and elegant, like smoke and fire, giving people a sense of distance that made him seem out of place in the world.
This kind of temperament definitely deserves a son! He'll drive his little sister crazy when he grows up!
This time, Chu Yuan learned her lesson and prepared all kinds of pills needed for production several days in advance. She even strongly requested that Baba test the medicinal properties, just in case they expired and could kill her!
Ning Mochen calculated her time and took her to Jasmine Manor.
According to his description, the Jasmine Manor is most beautiful in May, with flowers blooming all over the mountains and filling the air with fragrance. The entire manor is situated in a sea of jasmine flowers covering the mountains and fields, like a pure white and clean ice ocean, giving people the pleasant experience of being in a fairyland.
His main concern was that Chu Yuan would be nervous, as women are said to be very nervous and afraid when giving birth.
That's why he deliberately made up a bunch of reasons, hoping to ease Chu Yuan's mind.
What he didn't know was that Chu Yuan might not be considered a veteran in anything, except for two things: getting pregnant and giving birth, where no one could surpass her!
But Chu Yuan still obediently sat in the passenger seat; she couldn't let a man's kindness go to waste.
While she waited anxiously for the baby's arrival, Ning Muwan spent a fortune on her lawyer's painstaking efforts over two months, finally succeeding in overturning the case and acquitting Xiao Shuo.
On the day he was released from prison, Ning Muwan went to pick him up.
He even bought a bunch of pomelo leaves and patted Xiao Shuo's whole body in a very serious manner, "to get rid of bad luck and start all over again."
Xiao Shuo stood there blankly, the sunlight so bright he could hardly open his eyes. His eyes stung with a mixture of confusion and bewilderment at Ning Muwan's drastic change in attitude, and a touch of emotion.
He thought, perhaps she still loves him?
Despite their mutual scheming, the sweet nights they spent together were also real.
"Mu Wan..." Xiao Shuo murmured softly, subconsciously wanting to hold Ning Mu Wan's hand, but then looked at his own rough hand and withdrew it.
The next second, Ning Muwan took his hand. "Yes, I'm here. Xiao Shuo, we were both wrong back then, so no one owes anyone anything. The fact that I was able to save you proves that I don't really blame you. But I'm really in trouble now. If you don't help me, I might lose everything."
His once beloved goddess, soft and pitiful, pleaded, having just rescued him from the abyss.
It would be strange if Xiao Shuo wasn't moved.
He has always been a rather emotional person. As a dance instructor, he is physically strong but simple-minded, with his emotional thinking outweighing his rational thinking. So he was quickly swayed by Ning Muwan again.
Ning Muwan didn't hide anything and told him everything that had happened in the past few days.
Finally, she threw herself into Xiao Shuo's arms, feeling wronged. "I only just found out why I'm not Grandpa's biological granddaughter, sob... Xiao Shuo, I'm so sad. Grandpa gave all his property to them, but not a single bit to me. How could he be so heartless?"
"Xiao Shuo, I have nothing left now, except you."
Ning Muwan hugged him very tightly, as if she were extremely afraid of losing him, so tightly that Xiao Shuo was even a little breathless from being squeezed.
But there was also an indescribable sense of satisfaction and excitement.
She had nothing left. She had no illustrious family background, no endless wealth. Like him, she was just an ordinary child.
In that instant, Xiao Shuo no longer felt inferior to Ning Muwan; he felt that he was finally a match for her!
Therefore, he developed a new protective instinct towards her, wanting her to become a princess in his life again, his princess alone.
So, without Ning Muwan asking, Xiao Shuo took the initiative and said, "What can I do for you now? What was that thing you asked me to do for you last time?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Muwan's lips curved slightly, and she then kissed Xiao Shuo's chapped lips.
Despite feeling uncomfortable and nauseous, she managed to kiss Xiao Shuo for more than ten minutes at the prison gate.
Only after Xiao Shuo no longer doubted her good intentions did she quietly tell him what to do.
“Xiao Shuo, I’ve thought this through. Once they’re both dead, Grandpa’s will will be meaningless, and all the inheritance will go to Zhou Manyun. And given how much Zhou Manyun dotes on me, she won’t refuse to give it to me. If all else fails, we might as well go all the way while I’m still a member of the Ning family.”
Zhou Manyun is indecisive. These days, apart from chasing after Chu Yuan, she hasn't accomplished anything useful.
I've been feeling down lately, and it seems I've become addicted to mahjong, using gambling to numb myself all the time.
Ning Muwan thought this was a good idea. After giving Xiao Shuo the potion to make sure he would carry out the murder plan, she went to the hospital herself to continue her other plan.
She's going to kill Ning Hong!
This task was much simpler than Xiao Shuo killing Ning Mochen and Chu Yuan, because the people at the hospital thought she was there to visit Ning Hong and wouldn't be on guard against her.
She only needed to use two fingers to gently move Ning Hong's oxygen mask.
That despicable old man! I've been his granddaughter for so many years, and he hasn't given her a single penny.
Heartless! Stingy!
Why waste medical resources by letting such a person live a miserable life?
*
Jasmine Manor.
Chu Yuan not only looked at the jasmine flowers, but also drank jasmine tea.
The ready-made jasmine tea tastes absolutely amazing.
As she drank, she admired the beautiful scenery outside the glass room, and her thoughts were inevitably drawn to the time when she and Ning Mochen had just gotten together, thanks to the pool of clear water.
