One night, Tan Xi Yuan couldn't sleep soundly. Ever since she found out she was carrying a child in her belly, she was afraid of walking too hard, speaking too loudly, and even while sleeping, she feared rolling over and pressing against the baby.
She lay stiffly in bed, with her hands resting on her abdomen, feeling the presence of the child inside.
Although she couldn't feel anything.
She maintained this posture, afraid to move.
In a drowsy state, she fell asleep, only to be awakened by a sudden turn. She quickly returned to her original position.
She had been tossing and turning all night, leaving her with two dark circles under her eyes the next day.
"Xi Yuan, what's wrong? Did you sleep poorly last night?" Li Man asked with concern.
Tan Xi Yuan was embarrassed to say that she was afraid of pressing against the baby, so she nodded and brushed it off. She was afraid that if she said it, Li Man would laugh at her. She knew the baby in her belly was still small and couldn't be pressed, but she still worried, afraid that her movements would be too big and crush the baby.
It was a strange psychology.
Clearly knowing it was impossible, but still worrying.
Li Man got up early to cook breakfast. After breakfast, the two of them left for the hospital.
Arriving at the hospital, Li Man asked Tan Xi Yuan to sit down while she went to register. After registering, she took Tan Xi Yuan to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
There were many people in the department, and it wasn't their turn yet, so they sat at the entrance, whispering to each other.
Li Man was talking quietly with Tan Xi Yuan when she looked up and saw a familiar figure.
Although the person was wearing a mask, completely concealing themselves, Li Man still recognized her at first glance.
The person on the other side turned their head slightly, obviously not seeing Li Man.
"Xiao Xiao!" Li Man called out to the person across.
The figure on the other side froze for a moment, then slowly turned around.
Li Man walked quickly over, "Long time no see. How have you been?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes had no sparkle. Although she was wearing a mask, Li Man could still see the pain in her expression.
Xiao Xiao glanced at Tan Xi Yuan and asked in return, "Are you here with a friend?"
Li Man followed Xiao Xiao's gaze and looked at Tan Xi Yuan, replying, "Yes, she's pregnant. I'm accompanying her for a check-up. And you? Are you... not doing well yet?"
Xiao Xiao nodded helplessly, "I'm pregnant too."
Li Man was shocked and immediately thought of Huang De Han. She anxiously asked, "Is it Huang De Han's?"
Xiao Xiao slowly shook her head, a hint of bitterness and pain hidden between her eyebrows. "No, it's one of his clients."
A surge of anger rose in Li Man's heart. "Huang De Han is still forcing you to do that kind of thing?"
Xiao Xiao closed her eyes in pain and nodded.
Seeing the tears glistening in Xiao Xiao's eyes, Li Man's heart suddenly ached, and she said in a choked voice, "Report him. This way, he'll end up killing you."
Xiao Xiao shook her head, and tears streamed down her face as she choked, "I'm afraid!"
Li Man was indignant, "Is your life less important than your reputation?"
Xiao Xiao's eyes were filled with despair. "Now, not only does he have my nude photos, but he also possesses explicit videos of me with his clients. He's using these videos to not only threaten me but also his clients."
Li Man was shocked. "Oh my god, has he gone insane?"
Veins popped on Xiao Xiao's forehead, and anger surged in her eyes as she gritted her teeth. "He's not just crazy, he's a demon!"
A shiver ran down Li Man's spine. "How did he manage to capture those videos?"
