Chapter 226: Chu Fangfei is Pregnant

Cheng Wan said nothing.

There was no emotion in her gaze, only a cold sneer.

"So, your broken leg was also a lie."

The way he was running and jumping just now certainly didn't look like someone with a broken leg.

Actually, she should have discovered it sooner, but at that time, her mind was in turmoil, and she hadn't thought in that direction at all.

Now, she finally realized something was wrong.

To be precise, it wasn't just deceiving him; it was deceiving everyone.

Except for Old Master Chu, of course.

"Wanwan." Chu Li hugged her and rubbed against her shoulder, "You are so smart."

Cheng Wan was speechless with anger.

Seeing her remain silent, Chu Li's voice turned soft and gentle, "Don't be angry with me; I promise to tell you everything from now on."

Cheng Wan looked at him mockingly, "What kind of relationship do we have that you need to tell me?"

"Naturally, the relationship of lovers." Chu Li would never let go again this time.

He already knew he was wrong and wanted to spend the rest of his life making it up to her and An'an.

"Lovers?" Cheng Wan felt a lump in her throat, full of discomfort, "Don't you feel guilty when you say those two words?"

What kind of lovers were she and him?

In his heart, the person in first place would always be Qin Yun Shu; now that Qin Yun Shu was dead, he wanted to turn back.

How could there be such an easy thing in the world?

Chu Li was silent; he knew that because of the things he had done, it would be very difficult for Cheng Wan to forgive him.

But he had to try.

"Wanwan, I know you blame me and you're angry; this is all something I should bear." Chu Li leaned down and whispered in her ear, "After the matters of the Chu family are settled, I will give you a proper explanation."

Cheng Wan pinched her palm, not wanting to speak to him.

He had a plan long ago and could have kept her out of this quagmire, but he chose not to, insisting on letting her wade through these muddy waters.

His heart truly never had a place for her.

Her eyes felt sour, and she blinked, feeling a bit of pain.

"Wanwan, I know you're angry, but the reason I chose you is because everyone knows you are the person I love, and they won't let you go."

It was better to keep her by his side, where it was safer.

This way, Cheng Han only had to protect the two children, and the pressure would be less.

Cheng Wan could still go to her own company and wouldn't delay the career she had just started.

Chu Li had thought it through carefully.

Cheng Wan glared at him fiercely, "I don't want to see you right now."

These words, to some extent, meant she was accepting reality.

Chu Li smiled, took the initiative to put on his mask and sunglasses, and then pulled his hat down.

"Hiss!"

He suddenly gasped in pain and clutched the hat in his hand.

He deliberately lowered his voice to curry favor, "Look, I still have injuries here."

His usually handsome face was covered in bruises, showing how heavy-handed that group of people had been at the time.

Cheng Wan's hardened heart wavered slightly; after all, he had indeed protected her and was injured for her sake.

However, her words remained stiff.

"Serves you right, just endure it."

Assistant Wu almost couldn't help but want to stand up for his boss.

Chu Li, however, wasn't angry; instead, there was a hint of a smile on his face, "Understood."

Cheng Wan felt even more uncomfortable inside.

Returning to Beicheng Villa, Chu Li took out the medical kit to apply medicine himself; Cheng Wan ignored him and went to the window to call the two children.

Cheng An'an was a bit spoiled and acted like a baby, asking her to come home, while Qin Ping'an was like a little adult, telling Cheng Wan not to worry, that he would take good care of his sister and promised not to go out.

Cheng Wan felt touched; this child, like his mother, was a very good person.

After hanging up the phone and turning around, she met Chu Li's gaze.

He pointed to his back, "Can you help?"

Cheng Wan pursed her lips and walked over.

She held a cotton swab and ointment, applying it to the bruises bit by bit.

For a time, neither of them spoke.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Wan finally spoke, "Done."

She put down the ointment and went to wash her hands.

When she came out, she didn't see Chu Li, but sounds were coming from the kitchen.

Cheng Wan stood by the door with her arms crossed, watching him skillfully cook rice and wash vegetables.

After a minute or two, she sighed in her heart and walked in.

"Let me do it."

He still had injuries on his body, and she wasn't that cold-blooded.

Chu Li didn't speak, only handing the task of washing vegetables to her while he turned to handle other dishes.

He made four dishes and one soup.

The two of them ate in silence.

Chu Li started the conversation first, asking about her company matters.

Cheng Wan was not foolish enough to ignore him at this time; instead, she brought up her own problems to ask for his advice.

Being able to get Chu Li's advice meant she could avoid many detours.

Chu Li analyzed things for her patiently and meticulously.

By the time the meal was finished, the atmosphere had become much more harmonious.

Chu Li came out after washing the dishes, and Cheng Wan was standing at the door holding her phone, "I need to go out for a bit."

She was currently in danger, so she could not go out alone.

"Fangfei is at the Yiyuan, I have to go see her." She thought for a moment and added, "She is pregnant."

Chu Li called the driver over.

At the Yiyuan.

Cheng Wan and Chu Li entered the hospital room.

Chu Fangfei's eyes were swollen; she glanced at Chu Li beside Cheng Wan, "Who is he?"

"A bodyguard," Cheng Wan said simply.

Chu Fangfei bit her lip, "Can you let him leave?"

Cheng Wan shook her head, "No, he has to protect me."

Chu Fangfei scratched her hair in irritation, "Oh, right, you're helping the family manage the group now, so they will definitely target you. You really do need a bodyguard to protect you, but he looks a bit too thin. Do you want me to help you find two who are strong and sturdy?"

Chu Li's expression did not look very good.

But he could not speak.

Cheng Wan let out a laugh, and her mood suddenly improved.

Chu Li had a very good physique, with a lean waist and abdomen, but there was still a gap compared to a real bodyguard.

Chu Fangfei felt that only a tall, burly bodyguard with a broad back and thick waist could provide a sense of security.

Chu Li glanced at the smile on Cheng Wan's face, and his unpleasant expression slowly faded away.

It was quite good.

Since Cheng Wan insisted on having a bodyguard follow her, Chu Fangfei didn't mind anymore.

She sat on the chair, her back leaning completely against it, looking exceptionally lazy, yet revealing a deep sense of exhaustion.

"I don't want this child."

Her words were shocking.

Cheng Wan held her cold hand, "Have you thought it through?"

Chu Fangfei's eyes were red as she bit her lip, "His father doesn't love him, nor does he love this family. Would he just be suffering if he were born?"

Chu Li raised an eyebrow; Wen Lvzhong had pursued Chu Fangfei himself back then, so how could he not like her anymore?

No one noticed his internal thoughts.

Cheng Wan sighed silently, "He is not the type of person to be irresponsible. If he knew of the child's existence, he would be a good father."

Just like Qin Ping'an; he also kept him by his side, from abroad to the country, just to cure his illness.

"I know," Chu Fangfei said, covering her cheeks.

She was in great pain.

"But Cheng Wan, he has always had you in his heart," Chu Fangfei murmured, "You say he likes Xingwan, but he clearly loves you."

Cheng Wan's heart gave a heavy thud; she raised her eyes to look at Chu Li, meeting his gaze which carried a hint of coldness.

Her scalp went numb.

"That's all in the past," Cheng Wan urged her, "Don't cry, it's not good for the child."
