He patiently comforted Meng Jingwei.
The woman in his arms nodded. Although she found his words reasonable, the unease in her heart did not dissipate.
"If the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you, silly." Qing Muye rested his chin on her head, his breath filled with the clean scent of her hair. The familiar and intoxicating aroma dispelled his day's fatigue, making this moment feel exceptionally beautiful.
...
Lan City, a suburban residential area.
Shi Ran had been in Lan City for several days. As she was worried about Meng Jingwei, she wasn't in a hurry to leave.
Moreover, she was pregnant now and could not do much. Her most important task each day was to rest and nurture her baby.
However, in the middle of the night, Shi Ran suddenly felt a pain in her abdomen. She got up to go to the bathroom and was surprised to find that she was bleeding.
Seeing the bloodstains on her pants, her face turned ashen instantly. She was stunned for a moment.
Once she recovered, she got dressed, cautiously walked out of the bedroom, and planned to go to the hospital alone.
Because Yuan Wei's mother had passed away, Yuan Wei's condition had been very poor lately. He had finally fallen asleep, and Shi Ran couldn't bear to disturb him.
After all, she had been troubling Yuan Wei for a long time, and she felt very guilty.
Picking up the car keys from the table, Shi Ran left the house and drove directly to the city center hospital, where she registered for the emergency department.
At the same time, in the study of the Tang family.
Tang Si was working late into the night, busy handling company matters.
After taking over Borren Group, Tang Si had been familiarizing himself with the company's business at the fastest pace possible and was actively expanding it. The core of this endeavor was to secretly target the Zhao family.
"Phew~"
Working until late at night, Tang Si felt discomfort in his cervical spine. He stood up and massaged his neck, stretching his limbs.
Suddenly, his phone on the desk buzzed.
It was already two in the morning; who would be calling at this hour?
Tang Si picked up his phone. It was one of his subordinates, the person he had arranged to secretly protect Shi Ran.
His heart skipped a beat. He immediately swiped to answer the call. "What is it?"
"Mr. Tang, Miss Shi seems unwell and has gone to the hospital alone." The person on the other end of the line said.
"Hospital?" Tang Si's heart lurched. "Which hospital?"
"City Center Hospital."
"Alright, I'm coming right away." Tang Si was extremely anxious. He hung up the phone and immediately walked out of the study.
As soon as he opened the study door, he saw Zhao Wuyan approaching with a cup of milk.
She was wearing a black velvet long-sleeved pajama set, with her long hair cascading over her shoulders, revealing her delicate neck and beautiful collarbone, making her skin appear exceptionally fair.
Even though it was late at night, Tang Si immediately noticed that she had applied light makeup and was wearing her favorite perfume.
Little did she know that Tang Si, as a doctor, was particularly sensitive to scents and had a strong aversion to them.
"Si Bing, are you done working? I wanted to bring you a cup of hot milk." Seeing Tang Si come out, Zhao Wuyan smiled sweetly and offered him the milk in her hand. "It's freshly heated and helps with sleep."
Tang Si glanced at Zhao Wuyan with cold eyes. "I have something to attend to and need to go out. You should get some rest."
Although he detested Zhao Wuyan, due to Shi Ran's existence, he tried his best to be patient in dealing with Zhao Wuyan, to ensure the safety of Shi Ran and their child.
"It's so late, where are you going?" Zhao Wuyan was uneasy, her eyes revealing a hint of resentment.
She had waited for him until now without sleeping, deliberately choosing a fitted, thin pajama to accentuate her perfect figure. She had applied light makeup and sprayed Dior's latest subtle jasmine-scented perfume. Was none of it enough to earn even a glance from him?
