Li Qing Shuo met her surprised bright eyes, his gaze flickered, and he remained silent.
"My goodness!" Meng Yuan exclaimed.
"What grudge do the three of us sisters have with the three of you brothers?"
Meng Yuan's inexplicable question caught He Ming Run and Li Qing Shuo off guard.
After a moment, the two finally understood Meng Yuan's meaning.
He Ming Run patted his knees and said, "Yuan Yuan, this is fate."
Meng Yuan. Yun Xia: "..."
"Bad fate!" Meng Yuan yelled at them.
He Ming Run fell silent. He couldn't afford to offend his beloved for Li Qing Shuo's sake.
Li Qing Shuo looked at Yun Xia and said, "Xia Xia, I hope you will consider what I said carefully."
Yun Xia lowered her eyes slightly and nodded. She also wanted to give her child a complete home.
She also didn't have a father and knew the hardship of growing up without one. The sympathetic and contemptuous glances from classmates were something she would never forget.
"Wait, who is that...?" Meng Yuan pointed at the video.
Li Qing Shuo looked over, his face darkening. "Tang Ke Ke."
"It's her. Why is she here? Her eyes look so terrifying!"
Thinking of the message on Sheng Huan's phone, Li Qing Shuo instantly understood.
However, he still needed to investigate whether it was Tang Ke Ke's doing.
Li Qing Shuo looked at Yun Xia and said, "Xia Xia, I'll arrange a new place for you to stay. It's not safe here."
This time, Meng Yuan chimed in to help. Yun Xia's safety was the most important.
"Xia Xia, this Tang Ke Ke likes Li Qing Shuo. Now that she knows you're carrying Li Qing Shuo's child, you don't know what she might do to you! You should move."
Yun Xia glared at Li Qing Shuo indignantly. It was all because of this man that she encountered these troubles.
She said defiantly, "I'm not going anywhere. I'll stay here."
Meng Yuan disagreed. "No, what if something happens to you and my grandnephew? Xia Xia, this is not the time to be stubborn. Your safety is the most important. Just look at how terrifying Tang Ke Ke's eyes are. She would do anything to marry Li Qing Shuo. Don't you remember, women's jealousy is the most terrifying thing?"
Li Qing Shuo's expression was also grim. Fortunately, there were surveillance cameras here, which made things much easier.
He Ming Run kept his eyes down and his mind focused, saying, "Miss Yun, safety is important. I assure you, Li Qing Shuo is an absolute gentleman and would never do anything excessive to you. We grew up together, and he's never even held a young girl's hand, except for you, of course."
Li Qing Shuo: "..." He glared at He Ming Run, how did he know he had never held a young girl's hand?
Yun Xia looked down at her bulging belly, unwilling to risk her child's life.
Finally, she agreed.
The most important thing was that she had nowhere to go, and her son was frail.
The few of them scrambled to help Yun Xia move her things and directly sent her to Li Qing Shuo's villa. Li Qing Shuo's residence was not far from Mu Jiu Chen's, only a few minutes away.
After they finished, Meng Yuan looked at Yun Xia and said, "Xia Xia, you should rest well tonight. Nuan Nuan will be back around four in the morning. Nuan Nuan and I will visit you again tomorrow."
"Okay!" In the unfamiliar environment, Yun Xia spoke even less.
Meng Yuan also warned Li Qing Shuo, "Li Qing Shuo, be a good father and don't bully Xia Xia."
Li Qing Shuo nodded vigorously. "Yuan Yuan, I won't. Don't worry." He couldn't care for her enough, how could he bully Xia Xia?
He Ming Run gave Li Qing Shuo a supportive look, then left with Meng Yuan, feeling refreshed.
Li Qing Shuo pretended not to see He Ming Run's shamelessness.
In the spacious villa, only Li Qing Shuo and Yun Xia were left.
They looked at each other, both a little nervous.
Li Qing Shuo smiled at Yun Xia, his voice gentle, "Xia Xia, you rest for a bit. I'll make dinner for you."
Yun Xia had already informed her president that she wouldn't be staying there temporarily and had asked not to have dinner delivered. Her president had agreed.
She looked at Li Qing Shuo and asked curiously, "Can you... cook?"
Li Qing Shuo shook his head slightly and said, "No, but I can learn for you and the baby."
Yun Xia touched her stomach. She was already very hungry and couldn't wait for Li Qing Shuo to learn.
Seeing Li Qing Shuo's kind expression, she became bolder.
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it, I know how to cook," Yun Xia said, walking towards the kitchen.
Li Qing Shuo followed her and said, "How can that be? You're pregnant now, you can't do this kind of rough work."
Yun Xia turned and smiled at him before saying, "I'm just pregnant, not incapable of moving. Besides, the morning sickness has passed, and I get hungry quickly now. I'll cook something simple to get us through this meal."
Li Qing Shuo had already instructed people to buy ingredients on the way.
There were many ingredients in the refrigerator. He opened it and asked Yun Xia, "Xia Xia, what do you want to eat? I'm not picky."
Yun Xia walked over, took a look, and picked eggplant, cabbage, meatballs, and chicken breast for tonight's dinner: cold eggplant salad, cabbage and fish ball soup, Kung Pao chicken, and braised pork ribs.
Yun Xia made three dishes and one soup in half an hour. Li Qing Shuo watched her, occasionally helping out, in a very good mood.
Yun Xia was a very gentle person, doing everything in an orderly manner.
Li Qing Shuo felt a sense of warmth as his large villa finally had a touch of domesticity.
Li Qing Shuo ate this meal very happily. After dinner, he accompanied Yun Xia for a walk.
Li Qing Shuo suddenly felt that such days were very good, warm and happy.
Yun Xia's heart was restless. Such a quiet and peaceful life was easily addictive and unforgettable.
She glanced sideways at the man by her side with a smile, who was very gentle and approachable.
He deliberately slowed his pace to match hers.
Yun Xia lowered her eyes slightly, saying nothing. She decided to take things one step at a time.
At least she was happy now.
At five in the morning, Mu Jiu Chen and his group returned to the villa.
As soon as Jiang Nuan arrived at the villa, she felt unwell. A new round of pain was about to begin.
Mu Jiu Chen saw the paleness on her face, as if she was enduring it with all her might.
He arranged for his parents to rest in their room and then took Jiang Nuan back to their room.
As soon as she entered, Jiang Nuan let out a muffled groan.
Jiang Nuan looked at Mu Jiu Chen and said, "My bag, the medicine."
"Okay!" Mu Jiu Chen picked her up and carried her directly to the bed. He then found two tubes of medicine in her shoulder bag.
He pried open the caps and placed them directly into Jiang Nuan's mouth.
After taking the two tubes of pills, the pain in Jiang Nuan's body immediately lessened.
However, when the pain struck, she still couldn't bear it and held onto Mu Jiu Chen's waist tightly.
Mu Jiu Chen looked down at her pained little face, clenching his fists. After a while, the anger in his body subsided slightly, and he held Jiang Nuan tightly.
Ten minutes later, the pain subsided. Jiang Nuan was drenched in sweat. She looked at Mu Jiu Chen uncomfortably. "Mu Jiu Chen, I need to bathe."
