"Both of you shut up!" Ou Minghan roared, his head throbbing. The two immediately fell silent.
"Qinya, go get checked to see if you're pregnant!" Ou Minghan said, displeased.
Ye Qinya opened her mouth, and said a little wronged, "Minghan, don't you want me to be pregnant?"
Ou Minghan instinctively wanted to speak, but he quickly swallowed the words on his lips and said with a look of affection, "Qinya, how could that be? Of course I want you to have my children, but now is not the time. My company is in its development phase, and many things require my personal attention. I can't get away. Do you want our child to grow up without a father's companionship?"
Ye Qinya was convinced by his words. She said, "Okay, I'll go get checked. You..."
Seeing her looking at his face, Ou Minghan immediately turned away his reddened and swollen cheek. "I'm fine, I'll just ice it later. Go quickly!"
Hurried by him, Ye Qinya left.
Ou Tiantian was staying in a VIP ward. There was a refrigerator in the ward. Ou Minghan went straight to the refrigerator, took out an ice pack, and applied it to his face. His expression was extremely grim.
This was the first time he had suffered such a significant loss at the hands of a woman. He felt a blockage in his chest, unable to release it.
Seeing that his mind was not on her at all, Ou Tiantian spoke with a crying voice, "Brother, the injury on my face was actually inflicted by Ye Qinya! I just wanted her to buy me a cup of milk tea, and she got so angry that she hit me. But as soon as she heard you were coming, she threatened me not to tell you. Afterwards, she pretended to go buy me milk tea. I didn't expect her to send her sister..."
Ou Minghan turned to look at her, his gaze chillingly sharp. Ou Tiantian's voice grew softer and softer, especially the last few sentences, which she finished with great trepidation.
"Tiantian, although the mark on your face is very faint, there are still fingerprints. As long as the fingerprints are compared, you can be identified!" Ou Minghan said coldly.
Ou Tiantian's heart pounded. The next moment, her eyes welled up with tears, and she said with a wronged expression, "Brother, do you really like Ye Qinya, which is why you're protecting her so much? Have you forgotten how our parents entrusted me to you before they died? Have you forgotten what you promised me... Brother, I feel so bad..."
Ou Tiantian clutched her chest, as if she couldn't breathe. Ou Minghan rushed over and handed her the medicine. "Tiantian, take your medicine quickly."
Ou Tiantian stubbornly knocked the medicine to the ground. "I won't eat it!"
Ou Minghan's expression grew even uglier. He took out the medicine again and directly stuffed it into Ou Tiantian's mouth. Ou Tiantian burst into loud sobs.
"Tiantian, don't worry, I'm not sincere towards Ye Qinya, of course," Ou Minghan said perfunctorily, patting her back. "I haven't forgotten what I promised you. My kindness to her is all for you to fully recover one day."
"Brother..." Ou Tiantian was deeply moved.
Before she could finish being moved, Ou Minghan said impatiently, "Tiantian, you take good care of yourself. I'm going back first."
The milk tea from earlier had dried slowly, making him uncomfortable sticking to his body. He just wanted to leave quickly. Before Ou Tiantian could speak, he had already left swiftly.
Ye Zhi returned to the ward and saw Liu Lingyu still waiting anxiously.
"Did you find Qinya?" Liu Lingyu asked.
"Yes," Ye Zhi nodded. "She's going to get tested shortly."
Even if Ye Qinya was unwilling, Ou Minghan would force her to do it. After all, Ou Minghan was here for revenge. He got involved with Ye Qinya mostly out of a desire for release, but he never intended for Ye Qinya to carry his child.
"That's good..." Liu Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief. She asked with concern, "Xiao Zhi, why do you look unhappy? Did something happen?"
Ye Zhi felt a pang of emotion. Liu Lingyu was truly gentle and considerate. How was it that Ye Qinya, who was raised by her, only inherited her personality and not her brains?
"It's nothing," Ye Zhi shook her head slightly. "I just didn't expect that the friend Qinya met would be Ou Minghan's sister."
"Ah? That little girl from the Ou family..." Liu Lingyu said with emotion. "That poor girl also had a difficult life. Her mother passed away from illness, her father died in an accident, and she herself has a heart condition, so she had to depend on Minghan. It's fortunate that Minghan carried the Ou family on his shoulders and has never abandoned her."
Ye Zhi's eyelids twitched. She hadn't thought about it carefully before, but now that Liu Lingyu mentioned it, she couldn't help but feel that the situation of the Ou family was very suspicious, like they were exploiting their vulnerable relatives.
If they were ordinary people, she might have praised an adopted son for his loyalty and righteousness, but this was Ou Minghan, a notorious criminal whose hands were stained with countless lives. It was hard to say whether he had stooped to the point of harming his adoptive parents for the family fortune.
"Is Qinya's relationship with her very good?" Liu Lingyu continued to ask.
They shared a deep, passionate friendship! Ye Zhi grumbled inwardly. Of course, this "deep" and "passionate" were not descriptive but factual.
After all, in the world of abusive novels, if you didn't swap out hearts, livers, lungs, and kidneys, could you even call it an abusive novel?
In the original novel, after the Ye family collapsed and Ye Qinya was imprisoned, she became Ou Tiantian's mobile blood bank and a living heart cultivation vessel. Ye Zhi had felt sympathy for her at first, but later she felt pity for her misfortune and anger at her lack of progress, and eventually became completely numb.
After all, in the original novel, after being subjected to various forms of domestic violence and beatings, Ye Qinya had to have 800cc of blood drawn every few days, and even had to be strapped to an operating table to have her heart replaced when she was close to giving birth. After enduring all these torments, she was still alive. This made Ye Zhi have to sigh that this was probably Ye Qinya's protagonist halo, a health bar as thick as trying to cut a million coins on Pinduoduo.
However, since Liu Lingyu asked, she couldn't answer that way.
"Ou Tiantian's temper is not very good; she's not suitable as a friend," Ye Zhi said faintly.
"Is that so..." Liu Lingyu's eyes showed a look of regret.
Not long after, Ye Qinya returned. Ye Qinya had gone for the test, and she was not pregnant.
After seeing the test report, Liu Lingyu was relieved. It was getting late. Ye Zhi helped Ye Qinya with the hospital discharge procedures and then sent them both back to the Ye family before returning to the villa on the mountain.
After a day of running around, Ye Zhi went to the balcony of the bedroom. As she stretched, she saw the curtains opposite being pulled open, and Qi Xuan appeared in the window.
Ye Zhi immediately felt her raised hand stiffen. Well, he had seen her awkward moment again.
