Rong Qi, trying to lighten the mood, made light-hearted remarks, but Ye Nanshen couldn’t muster a smile. He sat beside the bed, holding her in his arms, gently stroking her belly. She felt better after a while and fell asleep in his embrace.
Ye Nanshen pondered over getting a special medication from Lu Chengzhou to ensure Rong Qi’s comfort during the pregnancy. Watching her sleep peacefully, he gently placed her favorite toy next to her and covered her with a blanket. Then, he leaned down to listen to her belly, hoping to hear some movement, but heard nothing.
He frowned and spoke to the unborn baby, “My sweet girl, let’s make a deal. Be gentle with mommy, and when you’re born, I’ll buy you an island. Just bear with it for a few months, okay?”
After setting up a Barbie doll next to Rong Qi, he changed and headed downstairs, where Sheng Jian and Shangguan Ze were having tea.
Upon entering the living room, Ye Nanshen’s irritation resurfaced. He didn’t care for anyone else but Rong Qi.
Sheng Jian inquired about Rong Qi’s condition. “How is she?”
“Not good. But she’s asleep,” Ye Nanshen replied, sitting down with narrowed eyes.
Sheng Jian noticed something off about Ye Nanshen’s eyes and gasped, “Your eyes… what happened?”
Shangguan Ze curiously observed, “That’s a very realistic contact lens.”
Ignoring their reactions, Ye Nanshen coldly said, “You can leave after finishing your tea.”
Sheng Jian, remembering a similar situation at Serene Garden, realized this was the same person who had attacked him. Unlike the last encounter, this time Ye Nanshen seemed more controlled, and less violent.
Shangguan Ze, intrigued by Ye Nanshen’s crimson eyes, leaned in for a closer look. He asked, “So you’re Sukie’s husband? Why do you look so strange… Ah!” Before Shangguan Ze could finish, Ye Nanshen punched him, knocking him to the ground. Ye Nanshen looked at him with disdain and said, “Don’t call her that.”
Zhuang Ling and Xu Yi, witnessing the scene, were unsure whether to help Shangguan Ze. They worried about Rong Qi’s reaction if anything happened to her guest.
Shangguan Ze, lying on the ground, shouted, “He hit me first! I didn’t fight back. I won’t get up unless you pay me twenty thousand!”
Zhuang Ling and Xu Yi realized they had overthought. With Shangguan Ze, it was always about money. If a problem couldn’t be solved with money, it meant the offer wasn’t high enough..
