Ye Yingsu glared at him with some anger, "What exactly do you want to do?"

"Protect my wife and child!" Lan Liehuo embraced her and returned to the room.

"Aren’t you afraid that if you don’t go back for the engagement, something might go wrong on your side?" Ye Yingsu frowned at him.

"Are you worried about me?" Lan Liehuo placed her on the bed and gently kissed her.

"I’m worried about Xiao Yi’s safety! Can your mother and Xiao Yi be safe without you there?" Ye Yingsu snorted.

"You don’t need to worry about that. I’ve sent top experts over there to protect them. Not even a fly can get through!" Lan Liehuo pinched her cheek.

"Go away, stay away from me, and don’t pinch my face!" Ye Yingsu slapped his hand away.

"Sleep now, I’ll watch over you. Why are you trying to be strong when you’re pregnant? Beiming Han really is something; he can’t even find the traitor by his side, can’t protect his own woman, and implicates mine!" Lan Liehuo couldn’t help but complain.

"I’m willing!" Ye Yingsu lay on the bed. With him around, she could truly sleep peacefully; otherwise, she was always restless.

Until the murderer of Aunt Zhou is found, there really isn’t anyone trustworthy.

But, Lan Liehuo is trustworthy!

"Go to the living room, I’m afraid something might happen to Qingxin," Ye Yingsu pushed him.

"Okay, okay, I’ll go... Aren’t you afraid I’ll fall for that little girl?" Lan Liehuo pinched her nose again, and after she slapped him away, he quickly stole a kiss.

"Beiming Han will chop you up!" Ye Yingsu glared at him.

"No need for him to chop me up. I wouldn’t fall for her; I don’t like weak girls!" Lan Liehuo grinned toothily.

"You can leave now!" Ye Yingsu turned over, pulled the blanket higher, and closed her eyes.

Lan Liehuo tucked the blanket around her, turned and went to the living room, resignedly sitting on the sofa and turning on the TV to watch the evening news.

He lay on the sofa, watching the news on TV, with his mind full of the woman inside. This woman was truly ruthless, just kicking him out like that.

But as long as he could be with her, staying in the same place, feeling her real presence, he already felt so happy.

Once everything is over, after he deals with all the matters, he’s going to take her away from here. He’ll buy an island and live on it with just the two of them, so no one can disturb them again.

...

Gu Qingxin was completely unable to sleep. Aunt Zhou’s matter still saddened her greatly, and now, who knows what was going on with Beiming Han.

She wanted to call him but was afraid he’d worry if he knew she wasn’t sleeping. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

After hesitating for a long time, she finally called him because she was really too worried about what might have happened on his side.

Beiming Han answered the phone immediately, "Hello, Xin’er."

"Ah Han, where did you go? What happened?" Gu Qingxin heard crying on the other end.

Beiming Han got up and walked out of the ancestral hall, saying, "Grandfather passed away. I’m here at Jade Garden."

"What?" Gu Qingxin sat up abruptly, her eyes suddenly widening, and her hand holding the phone was trembling.

"I didn’t tell you because I was afraid you’d worry and be sad," Beiming Han’s voice was also somewhat downcast, but he knew that something like this couldn’t be hidden. Sooner or later, she would find out.

"The old man... was it natural..." Gu Qingxin’s other hand clutched tightly at the fabric over her chest, unable to speak the last two words.
