Only after she disappeared from sight did Li Luyao finish his cigarette, shake his head with a self-deprecating smile, and drive away.
Jiang Yilai returned home.
Uncle Liu had been waiting for a long time. When he saw her come in, he greeted her with a smile and said, "Madam is back. Would you like something to eat?"
Although she had just eaten lunch, Jiang Yilai was actually quite hungry, probably because of her pregnancy.
She didn't actually have much of an appetite; a faint feeling of nausea lingered in her chest.
But for the sake of her child, she nodded: "I'd like to eat something light."
"Okay, all done!"
Seeing that she seemed alright, Uncle Liu went to the kitchen with great pleasure.
As soon as he entered, he immediately took out his phone to inform Fu Nanxiao.
"Madam seems to be in good spirits and would like to eat something light."
Fu Nanxiao's reply was quick and simple: Make it for her.
Jiang Yilai went upstairs to change her clothes, tidied herself up, and then finished the noodles that Uncle Liu had prepared for her.
After finishing her meal, she went back to her bedroom and looked at some information about studying abroad for a while. Then, she took her medicine while keeping track of the time.
She lay in bed wanting to rest, but couldn't fall asleep at all.
The doctor just said today that a pregnant woman's mood also affects the baby's growth; she shouldn't have too many emotional fluctuations or be overworked.
But recently, one thing after another has made it impossible for her to remain calm.
Realizing that her mood was starting to dip again, Jiang Yilai forced herself to clear her mind of those chaotic thoughts and closed her eyes to fall asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, she seemed to finally fall asleep, her mind drifting off to sleep.
But she was very lightly asleep, as if she was always in a state of half-sleep and half-awake.
In her drowsy state, she had a dream.
In her dream, Fu Nanxiao still discovered the baby in her belly.
His expression was so cold and indifferent, without the slightest fluctuation, it was chilling to look at.
Jiang Yilai cried and begged him to keep the child, but he remained aloof and didn't even glance at her.
He raised a finger, and a bodyguard in black raised a long steel pipe—
The dream suddenly changed.
In her dream, she was walking alone on the road, holding the hand of a small child.
The children sang their innocent nursery rhymes, their faces beaming with happy and joyful smiles.
Jiang Yilai laughed with him.
But then the scene shifts, and Fu Nanxiao reappears.
He ordered his men to separate Jiang Yilai from the child, his expression filled with disgust and hatred as he looked at them.
He stared at Jiang Yilai, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
He said, "Jiang Yilai, I hate being lied to the most!"
It was those men in black again.
The child struggled and cried his heart out, his innocent voice hoarse.
What is he saying?
Jiang Yilai looked at him, trying her best to listen.
Finally, she heard it clearly.
"Mommy, Mommy, save me, Mommy, save me—"
"Baby!"
Jiang Yilai suddenly woke up.
She sat up, clutching her heart and gasping for breath.
Tears streamed down my face uncontrollably, one after another.
Still shaken, she fell into someone's arms.
"Lai Lai, it's okay, you had a nightmare, it was just a dream."
A deep, husky male voice sounded in her ear.
Jiang Yilai's body stiffened.
It's Fu Nanxiao.
He's back.
Jiang Yilai took several deep breaths before she came to her senses.
She wiped away her tears and pushed Fu Nanxiao away.
The emotions from her dream seemed to linger. She avoided Fu Nanxiao's gaze and whispered, "You're back."
Fu Nanxiao hummed in agreement.
He stared at Jiang Yilai, his eyes filled with complex and unreadable emotions.
