Chapter 1289: How Dare You Hurt Her

~7 min read 1,391 words

Liu Xin'ai smiled helplessly: "I am a doctor, I can make a judgment."

"Uh, sorry, sorry, my pregnancy brain is acting up, don't mind me."

Liu Xin'ai naturally would not mind.

In fact, it wasn't just Jiang Baobao; even Liu Xin'ai herself sometimes forgot her own profession.

After all...

She had been away from her post for a long time.

Thinking of the past, Liu Xin'ai felt a faint melancholy in her heart.

Suddenly, Liu Xin'ai felt someone gently tugging at her sleeve.

She looked over in that direction and met Cai Xiaotang's excited gaze.

"Xin'ai, help me take a look too."

Liu Xin'ai put away her melancholy.

She smiled lightly and said: "You are not far enough along yet, so it can't be seen. But your constitution is very good, so there shouldn't be any major problems."

Cai Xiaotang pursed her lips, very satisfied with this result.

Jiang Baobao then asked again: "Xin'ai, you aren't an obstetrics and gynecology expert, how do you know about these things too?"

"Because when we were studying, we had to learn it all."

So that was it.

Jiang Baobao nodded in realization, then said self-deprecatingly: "Why does it feel like the more I ask, the more it shows the shortcomings of my intelligence?"

"Not at all, there is just a specialization for every trade."

"But after getting pregnant, my memory has indeed become poor, and I feel like my brain is a bit slow."

Cai Xiaotang deeply agreed with this point, nodding from the side.

Liu Xin'ai explained: "This might be related to the pregnancy hormones produced by the body after getting pregnant; it will slowly recover later."

Cai Xiaotang looked up and sighed: "I hope it recovers quickly, so Li Xiao doesn't keep saying that I'm very easy to trick lately!"

Although Cai Xiaotang was complaining.

Yet these words, heard in the ears of Liu Xin'ai and Jiang Baobao...

Felt a bit strange.

Jiang Baobao thought for a while and realized where it was strange: "You aren't becoming stupid, this is just affection between a husband and wife."

"What affection, he is just bullying people!"

"Then tell us, what has Li Xiao been tricking you about?"

It's just...

Um...

Can't say!

Seeing Cai Xiaotang tightly pursing her lips with an awkward look on her face, Jiang Baobao and Liu Xin'ai both understood what was going on.

The two of them smiled and shook their heads.

Neither of them asked any further.

Liu Xin'ai was taken back to her room and lay on the bed to rest.

She had thought it would take her some time to fall asleep.

But in reality?

Liu Xin'ai fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as her head hit the pillow.

And once she slept, she slept until dark.

Liu Xin'ai opened her eyes, her gaze dazed.

It took her a moment to react and remember that she had come on vacation with her friends.

But...

Where were her friends?

Liu Xin'ai rubbed her temples and found that she was the only one in the room.

She took out her phone, called Jiang Baobao, and asked: "Have you all not been back here at all?"

Jiang Baobao's voice carried helplessness: "You really are a heavy sleeper; we went back twice, and you didn't even know."

This...

Liu Xin'ai really didn't know.

She yawned and asked: "Then where are you all now?"

"We are going to watch a performance, it's about to start, you should come and watch too."

Liu Xin'ai was not very interested in performances.

But she wanted to try it out, so she said: "Alright, I'll come find you now."

Liu Xin'ai threw on a coat and pushed the door open to walk out.

But only after walking out of the room did she realize...

She had no idea where the performance venue was.

Sigh, she really was muddled from sleep; she hadn't asked about such an important thing.

Liu Xin'ai felt annoyed.

But just as she was about to call Jiang Baobao, a staff member stopped and asked proactively: "Ma'am, is there anything you need help with?"

Liu Xin'ai happened to have something to ask, so she said: "Hello, may I ask where the upcoming performance is?"

"I know, let me take you there."

"Thank you."

Liu Xin'ai felt the other person's service attitude was quite good.

But the path the staff member led her along was becoming increasingly dark.

This made Liu Xin'ai feel something was wrong!

She stopped in her tracks, frowned, and asked, "Are you sure there is a performance venue nearby?"

"It's not here, we have to cross this area,"

It was even darker ahead, without a shred of light.

It was clearly an undeveloped area!

Liu Xin'ai did not speak.

She simply turned around and walked away!

But the person behind her circled around and blocked her path!

He even smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you, we still need to keep walking!"

"I'm not going anymore, move aside!"

"Guest, you are very disobedient; that won't do."

As he spoke, the other person grabbed Liu Xin'ai's wrist and dragged her toward the darkness!

Liu Xin'ai opened her mouth to scream!

But that person covered her lips!

Liu Xin'ai opened her mouth and bit the other person's finger, and the next second, she pulled her elbow back and struck directly at the other person's stomach!

Taking advantage of the other person's pain, Liu Xin'ai immediately ran toward the place with light!

The person behind her recovered his senses and lifted his feet to chase after Liu Xin'ai.

That man was tall with long legs, and he ran like a leopard.

And Liu Xin'ai...

Was the prey he was about to tear apart!

Liu Xin'ai could feel the sound of footsteps behind her getting closer.

She was so nervous that her heart felt like it was about to jump out!

Although Liu Xin'ai did not know the other person's identity.

She knew that if she fell into that person's hands, she would be in trouble!

Therefore, for her own sake and for her child's sake, she had to run for her life!

However...

"Ah!"

Someone appeared, blocked Liu Xin'ai's path, and grabbed her arm in one go!

Liu Xin'ai was so frightened she screamed, and she even raised her hand to defend herself.

"Xin'ai, what's wrong with you!?"

The familiar voice made Liu Xin'ai pause.

She immediately looked up and was shocked to see Jiang Chenghao!!

Liu Xin'ai felt she was saved!

The next second, she anxiously said to Jiang Chenghao, "There is someone behind me trying to catch me!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chenghao immediately shielded Liu Xin'ai behind him.

At this moment, the man behind also ran over.

The man did not show any regard for Jiang Chenghao; he grinned hideously and said, "Don't be a busybody, get lost!"

"Why are you trying to catch her?"

"Because she seduced me! She even led me to a place with no one around, wanting to have some fun!"

This was clearly a pack of lies!

Jiang Chenghao's face turned pale with anger, and he roared, "Bullshit!"

Afterward, without even giving the other person a chance to react, he lunged straight at him!

This left Liu Xin'ai stunned.

She thought Jiang Chenghao would take her to a safe place.

She never expected... that he would actually resort to violence!

Jiang Chenghao was doing more than just resorting to violence.

At the thought that someone actually dared to try and harm Liu Xin'ai...

He wanted nothing more than to take that bastard's life!

Because of his rage, Jiang Chenghao fought without any technique, but every strike was filled with ruthlessness.

Soon, the other person could no longer fend him off.

He used the advantage of the terrain, turned, and dove into the dense woods.

Jiang Chenghao really wanted to give chase.

But Liu Xin'ai stopped him: "Be careful that person is setting a trap! We should get to a safe place as soon as possible now!"

At this moment, Jiang Chenghao's breathing was rapid.

His whole body was radiating killing intent.

Although he wanted to punish the culprit, he was even more concerned about Liu Xin'ai.

So he walked with Liu Xin'ai toward the direction of the Shanzhuang.

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stood up abruptly and strode out of the office.
