[To Nuan Nuan, the company has an urgent meeting. I’m leaving first. I’ll come back tonight. Your loving husband, Mu Jiu Chen!]
Jiang Nuan smiled silently, still succumbing to his tenderness.
She quickly got up to change and wash. Yun Xia was about to give birth, and those people would surely accelerate their actions. She was in the shadows, and those people were unpredictable.
She went downstairs and found the breakfast Mu Jiu Chen had prepared on the table.
A note was attached to it. Jiang Nuan took it and glanced at it, [Wife, remember to think of me while eating breakfast.]
Jiang Nuan: “……” Who is your wife?
Jiang Nuan unscrewed the lid. Inside the thermal container was her favorite seafood congee, with shrimp, scallops, squid, and boneless fish. As soon as she opened it, a rich aroma wafted out. She took it upstairs to eat.
Sitting on the balcony, she glanced towards the backyard.
Li Qing Shuo was accompanying Yun Xia as they strolled in the yard. This Li Qing Shuo was quite good at taking care of people. He had taken good care of Xia Xia during this time, learning to cook and preparing every meal for Xia Xia himself, with Yun Xia sometimes joining him.
The next day, she also saw a beautiful lady come over, presumably Li Qing Shuo’s mother.
After chatting with Yun Xia for a while, she left.
She took a sip of the fragrant seafood congee and looked out through the binoculars. The black car had arrived again.
In the snow, the black car was particularly conspicuous.
Jiang Nuan narrowed her eyes slightly. This person needed to be dealt with.
He had arrived so early today because Xia Xia would come out for a walk around this time.
The congee was just the right temperature. She ate it more quickly.
After finishing, she walked and saw the man getting out of the car. Jiang Nuan suddenly stood up, got herself ready, and quickly went downstairs.
Seeing the man holding a gun and looking for a suitable position, the opponent had lost patience.
The man only wanted to complete his mission and didn't notice Jiang Nuan gradually approaching him from behind.
As Yun Xia and Li Qing Shuo circled around, the back wall was an iron fence. From this angle, Yun Xia's position could be clearly seen. The man had been surveying the area for days before preparing to make his move.
Jiang Nuan saw Li Qing Shuo supporting Yun Xia as they walked over, talking and laughing.
The man found a good position, crouching under the iron fence in an extremely awkward posture, aiming the gun at Yun Xia.
At the critical moment, Jiang Nuan rushed over and kicked the man over. “Bang bang…”
Bullets flew wildly, hitting the nearby iron fence.
Li Qing Shuo immediately shielded Yun Xia in his arms and looked outside the iron fence, where a slender figure was raining down punches.
“Bang bang…” Every sound sent a chill down one’s spine.
The screams were terrifying! Da Feng Novel Network
Yun Xia shivered, and her stomach began to ache from nervousness.
“Li Qing Shuo, what’s going on? Did I just hear gunshots?” Yun Xia protectively clutched her stomach.
Li Qing Shuo held her tightly and said, “Xia Xia, it’s okay.”
Li Qing Shuo, being half a head taller than Yun Xia, could clearly see the scene outside.
In the snow, blood splattered, and the scene was gruesome.
Li Qing Shuo swallowed and looked at the back, which strongly resembled Jiang Nuan.
There had been gunshots just now. Li Qing Shuo was still shaken. If Jiang Nuan hadn't appeared, Xia Xia might have been in danger.
Who, who exactly, would not spare even an unborn child?
It was Li Qing Feng, his heartless father.
But no matter who it was, he would not let them succeed.
“Ah… ah…” The man’s screams grew louder.
Yun Xia, terrified, clung tightly to Li Qing Shuo.
Li Qing Shuo felt her dependence and couldn't help but smile.
“Speak, who sent you?” Jiang Nuan grabbed the man’s collar, blood still dripping from her bloodied fists.
The man was dizzy and disoriented. He had been lurking for half a month and had never been discovered. Today, as soon as he made his move, his eyeballs were gouged out. He couldn’t understand where things had gone wrong.
“Don’t, don’t hit me anymore. I just took money to do a job. I really don’t know who sent me. The other party only had one request: the child must not be born.”
Jiang Nuan said angrily, “If you don’t tell me, I’ll send you to hell right now.”
Not even sparing an unborn child, they were utterly inhumane.
In the vast expanse of snow, Jiang Nuan’s beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent.
As the man was horrified, he trembled uncontrollably all over.
The woman’s eyes carried a murderous glint, making one tremble as if hovering on the edge of hell.
The man was in pain and fear, shaking his head, which hurt even more, his voice choked with tears, “I really don’t know what’s going on. I just followed instructions to complete the mission.”
Jiang Nuan asked furiously, “Are you from Blood Hunt?”
The man was stunned again. If he wasn't from the underworld, he wouldn't know these words.
Jiang Nuan looked at his reaction and understood that her guess was correct.
Jiang Nuan made a phone call, and a few minutes later, Person Number 1 arrived and took the man away.
Jiang Nuan wiped the blood from her hands with the snow.
Only then did she stand up and look inside the wall.
Her gaze fell on Yun Xia with concern, “Xia Xia, you weren’t scared, were you!”
Hearing Jiang Nuan’s concerned voice, Yun Xia’s tense mood instantly relaxed.
“Nuan Nuan, is that really you? Where have you been these past few days?” Yun Xia looked at her with heartache.
Jiang Nuan smiled and said, “Xia Xia, I’m fine. You just focus on your pregnancy.”
Yun Xia’s eyes reddened, and she asked, “What happened to you and Yuan Yuan?”
“Xia Xia, don’t worry, Yuan Yuan and I are both fine.”
Jiang Nuan looked at Li Qing Shuo again and reminded him, “Li Qing Shuo, the baby will be born in a little over a month. You two must be careful during this next month. That person from earlier is an accomplice from last time. They are working together. Someone is targeting the child, and they don’t want the baby to be born.”
Li Qing Shuo had his own plans. He knew very well who his enemies were.
No matter where Yun Xia hid, they would do their best to find Yun Xia and complete the mission to get a high reward.
She had a plan that required Yun Xia and Li Qing Shuo’s cooperation.
“Nuan Nuan, I will protect Xia Xia.” He would do his utmost to protect Yun Xia and the child.
Jiang Nuan glanced at the back door and said, “Open the door for me, I have something to discuss with you.”
People from Blood Hunt would not give up easily, nor would they stop their assassinations. Once they accepted a mission, they would complete it by any means necessary. The high commissions were too tempting.
“Okay! Nuan Nuan.”
Li Qing Shuo helped Yun Xia to open the door.
Back inside the house, it was much warmer.
Li Qing Shuo poured Jiang Nuan a cup of warm water. There were faint bloodstains between her fingers.
Jiang Nuan took a sip of water, and the warmth spread through the air.
“Nuan Nuan, have you been protecting me nearby these past few days?” Yun Xia looked at her excitedly.
Jiang Nuan smiled, “I’m fine, I didn’t freeze myself. I disabled the surrounding surveillance. I have five minutes. Next, I will tell you my plan.”
Jiang Nuan explained her plan.
Li Qing Shuo swallowed and looked at Yun Xia with a look of resistance.
He dared not risk Yun Xia.
“Nuan Nuan, I won’t risk Xia Xia,” he refused.
