Li Qing Shuo looked at her, his anger reaching its peak, his eyes flashing with a cold light. Recalling the scene just now, he still felt a lingering fear.
"This is attempted murder. After Xia Xia became pregnant, her emotions were very unstable. She was about to faint just now, and you still wouldn't let her go. You wanted her to get agitated, then the child would be in trouble. Did you think by doing this, I would look at you more?"
Every word Li Qing Shuo spoke was filled with heartlessness.
Sheng Huan was stunned, gazing blankly at the stranger before her. She had thought that if Yun Xia and that little bastard died, it would have no bearing on her. All she wanted was to capture Li Qing Shuo and obtain the wealth and status she desired.
Unwillingly, she questioned, "Li Qing Shuo, how can you treat me like this? How could you? We've known each other for so many years, and you're going to send me to jail for a nameless little mongrel?" Sheng Huan was furious and fearful, her true nature exposed.
Li Qing Shuo's gaze sharpened, "Say one more word, what do you call my son?"
His dagger-like stare pierced Sheng Huan, causing her to involuntarily shiver.
Once she regained her senses, she started crying again, "Wuwuwu… Li Qing Shuo, I just want to have you. What wrong did I do? Why do you want me to go to jail? You are such a good, gentle, and worthy man to have. What's wrong with me liking you? This woman, she's nothing…"
"Shut up. In my eyes, you are the one who is nothing," Li Qing Shuo said, finally and ruthlessly dialing the emergency number.
This woman was the first woman he had ever hit, yet he felt no guilt whatsoever.
She…
He only wished he could beat this woman to death.
The police arrived quickly. Li Qing Shuo called Meng Yuan. She had the surveillance footage on her phone and he asked Meng Yuan to send the video directly to him. After he forwarded it to the police, he called the company's secretary-general to handle the matter.
With Sheng Huan being taken away, only Yun Xia and Li Qing Shuo remained in the living room.
When Sheng Huan was present, Li Qing Shuo was angry and didn't feel much.
Now that things had calmed down, he felt an immense nervousness, unsure how to face Yun Xia.
He looked at the equally nervous Yun Xia and said, "Xia Xia, don't worry. I'm not here to fight over the child, nor will I do anything to hurt you. Today's incident was just an accident. I don't know how Sheng Huan found out you were pregnant and came to do this to you."
Li Qing Shuo was grateful that he had arrived just in time. If he had been a few minutes later, he didn't know what would have happened.
Yun Xia looked at him silently and asked, "How did you know?"
Li Qing Shuo looked at her and said, "It was Yun Yun. She was worried about you being home alone and expressed concern for you and the baby. That's how I found out."
"I thought you didn't want the child anymore. Coincidentally, when I was hospitalized, you and Jiang Nuan went to the obstetrics and gynecology department. I thought you had gotten rid of the child… so I never contacted you, not wanting to disturb your peaceful life."
Yun Xia: "…"
Li Qing Shuo continued to explain, "Later, I learned you were still pregnant, so I came by the neighborhood every day to check on you. Seeing that you were well, I would go back. But I never expected such an accident to happen."
"Xia Xia, I know you've had a difficult time. How about this, let's try to get along, okay?"
Yun Xia was taken aback, staring at him blankly. Did he know what he was saying?
Seeing Yun Xia's displeased expression, Li Qing Shuo immediately became nervous and quickly explained, "Xia Xia, we can live under the same roof for a while. You can get to know me. If you truly have no feelings for me, I won't force it. We will raise our child together."
"If you knew about my family background, you would understand how important a father is to a child. My father did not love my mother. Before marrying my mother, he was already involved with another woman and had an illegitimate son. That person constantly opposed me, making life very unstable for my mother and me."
"Later, my mother gave up on my father. My mother and I now live separately. I once vowed that if I were to marry and have children, I would love my wife wholeheartedly forever, never betraying her. We would raise our children together and ensure they grow up healthy."
After speaking, he looked at Yun Xia quietly and nervously. What he said were his true feelings, not seeking Yun Xia's sympathy, but simply conveying his thoughts.
Yun Xia was stunned again. She knew he came from a wealthy family, but she didn't know these details.
To be honest, because Li Qing Shuo was the child's father, she often paid attention to his news, intentionally or unintentionally.
He had very few gossip news. The media most often reported on why he was still single.
"I…"
Before Yun Xia could finish speaking, she heard the sound of the door opening. He Ming Run and Meng Yuan rushed in.
"Xia Xia, Xia Xia, are you okay?" Meng Yuan's voice arrived before she did.
Li Qing Shuo looked at Meng Yuan, who was running in, his gaze darkening.
He Ming Run glanced at Li Qing Shuo, also looking angry.
"Li Qing Shuo, how could your assistant be so vicious?" He Ming Run had also seen the surveillance. It was terrifying. The malicious things Sheng Huan said made him, a grown man, want to kill her.
Li Qing Shuo: "…" Still bringing it up! He Ming Run, you blockhead!
Meng Yuan also glared fiercely at Li Qing Shuo, then hugged Yun Xia, offering her comfort.
Yun Xia looked at Li Qing Shuo, then at Meng Yuan, her mood calming considerably. She smiled, "Yuan Yuan, I'm much better."
Meng Yuan looked at her and asked, "Have you eaten dinner?"
Yun Xia shook her head slightly and said, "Brother Jiang came by at noon. He moved his things out, saying he'd live with his brother. He also bought a lot of fruit."
"Oh! Really? The house is so spacious, why did he move out?" With a man present, it felt safer to sleep at night.
He Ming Run felt a little unhappy. They were both single men and women; why live together? It was better that he moved out.
Meng Yuan stood up and said, "Wait for me a moment, I'll go upstairs to get my laptop and check who has been here recently."
Li Qing Shuo, He Ming Run, Mu Jiu Chen – these distinguished figures were adored by countless women.
The day's events were not unexpected.
But to be safe, they had to monitor the surroundings.
Xia Xia could not afford any more accidents.
Soon, Meng Yuan came downstairs with her laptop, placed it on the coffee table, turned it on, and opened the video software. She started watching videos from half a month ago and saw Li Qing Shuo frequently appearing outside the villa. Meng Yuan asked curiously, "Mr. Li, why were you here, guarding for hours?"
Li Qing Shuo glanced at Yun Xia with an unnatural expression.
Yun Xia was also shocked. So, he had been guarding her outside all this time.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved. Very few people cared about her this much.
Yun Xia knew she couldn't keep it a secret any longer and told Meng Yuan proactively, "Yuan Yuan, Li Qing Shuo is the biological father of the child."
Meng Yuan was stunned, turning to look at Li Qing Shuo in shock.
