Chapter 80 I'm Pregnant with His Child!
Jian Ling's expression remained as still as a mountain, not showing any intention of letting Cold Ni off the hook. Leng Dao's face, which had been calm just moments before, sank slightly, revealing his displeasure. People who are used to being in high positions can't tolerate others being arrogant and dismissive towards them, ignoring their words.
It doesn't matter to Ling Han whether Leng Ni lives or dies. She's just a woman, after all. Once she's dead, that's it. The only thing that can't be swallowed is that one breath. It seems like they want to take Leng Ni away from Ling Han's hands in order to save face and prove their own power and prestige, that no one can offend them.
Leng Dao let out a cold hum from his nostrils, and his eyes gleamed with a fierce light, like an eagle's gaze. "It seems you want to wipe out the Leng family in Yu Sen City," he said. "Since you're so determined, I wouldn't be able to rest easy if I didn't help you. I heard there's a woman in Yu Sen City, quite beautiful, named Leng Xi. Ah, yes, wasn't she someone you played with recently? You must have gotten tired of her and it's inconvenient for you to take care of her yourself. How about I do you a personal favor and take care of her for you?" Leng Dao's words seemed like a negotiation, but in reality, every sentence was filled with murderous intent, and the threatening tone was palpable. People are most afraid of having weaknesses. Once their weakness is grasped by an enemy, they will be led by the nose and suffer a crushing defeat. Leng Dao was searching for Ling Han's weakness.
Leng Dao's words fell, and Ling Han's heart slightly fluctuated. He was such a sharp person, how could he not understand the meaning behind Leng Dao's words? Leng Dao was using Leng Xi, that woman, to threaten him. However, he was very clear that Leng Dao's words were not entirely threats. Based on Leng Dao's ruthless and cunning reputation in the martial world, he might actually do something to Leng Xi, that woman.
Moreover, Murong Xiao had ulterior motives towards Leng Xi. If he showed concern for Leng Xi at this time, Leng Xi would be in danger of being surrounded and could be taken as a hostage to threaten him at any moment.
Moreover, Leng Dao suddenly arrived at Yu Lin City at this time. He must have come prepared. He probably came for Ling Han.
He filtered through the all-around form in his mind like lightning. Ling Han's good-looking thin lips curled up a faint smile of indifference. "Cold Creek, just a broken woman playing around, throw her away and it's none of my business. As for this woman, did I ever say I wanted to kill her?" He didn't answer, raising an eyebrow to counter-question Cold Knife.
Just now, I heard Leng Jian's words. Du Shaoxi, who was still frightened, saw Ling Han being so elegant and self-satisfied, as if he hadn't been threatened at all. He calmly and effectively resolved the conflict, instead throwing the problem back to his opponent. Du Shaoxi's surprised gaze at Ling Han turned into admiration in an instant. He also let out a sigh of relief in his heart.
Even Du Shaohui knew that the power of Cold Blade was strong, and the Crazy Dragon Organization had a history of nearly a hundred years, its strength should not be underestimated. It was only later that Ling Han burst out with an unstoppable force that could not be matched by anyone. If the leader of the Crazy Dragon Organization really made up his mind to kill Xi'er, Ling Han probably wouldn't have the power to stop him either.
But he forgot that Ling Han was always wise and astute, grasping everything without a sound, reversing the situation with his emotions hidden. This is Ling Han, the brother Du Shaoxi followed, who can always surprise him. Over the years, it's been relying on Ling Han's stability like a mountain and wisdom like the sea that led them to today. So Ling Han is their well-deserved big brother. A faint smile of unspoken thoughts rose in Du Shaoxi's heart.
Lou Shu on the other hand had a completely expressionless face, without any fluctuations in his emotions, because he believed that Ling Han could resolve it.
Ling Han's counter-question made Leng Jian's face twitch slightly, and only then did he realize that Ling Han had not mentioned the word "kill" from start to finish, as if he was acting out a one-man show.
"As for this little cold one, she's my new pet that I played with for a night. She actually didn't listen and ran here to bark wildly. If I don't teach her a lesson, she'll think this is an amusement park where she can run wild...” Ling Han stepped on Cold Nie's hand again, then let go and kicked her lightly, warningly glaring at her before calmly adjusting his shirt collar.
Got liberation. Lenny was so scared that he retreated backwards on all fours, far away from Ling Han, fearing that he would change his mind in the next second.
He glanced at Ling Han and found that his eyebrows were overflowing with a wild and untamed nature, as well as an expression that was ruthless to the point of not putting any emotions in his eyes. He smiled lightly in his heart, indeed, this young man is formidable. It seems that Ling Han has already reached the state where he doesn't put the seven emotions and six desires in his eyes. He was just testing him, it seems that Ling Han's weakness still needs to be found.
"It would be best if you didn't kill anyone with the surname Leng. Otherwise, one day I might mistakenly think you're going to do me in too. That kind of misunderstanding is hard to resolve. Since it's a lesson for your pet, take it back and teach them instead. I won't see you off." Leng Dao turned his back and started to leave.
Ling Han smiled lightly and left with Du Shaoxi and Lou Shu, while Leng Ni remained sitting on the couch, holding her hands and not following them out. She knew that if she followed Ling Han out, her life would be in danger.
"Han Shao, you said the eagle was doing well in America, how did it suddenly come to Yu Lin City?" Du Shaohui asked doubtfully from the car. He had been puzzled from the start.
His handsome face was frozen in a stern expression. Silence.
Du Shaohui hurriedly saw Ling Han not responding. He was steering the wheel while turning his head to ask Lou Shu, "Lou Shu, you tell me, what's going on?"
Lao Shu gave Du Shaohui a cold glance and said something that didn't make sense. "Go back to the villa, you contact Ji Xinmie to go to the bar."
Du Shaohui's face was bewildered.
……
These two days, Leng Xi stayed at Ji Xin's home temporarily. Work was as usual. Eating and sleeping were also as usual. Everything seemed normal. But every time she unintentionally drank water or ate, her heart would inexplicably ache. Tears fell unknowingly into her rice, into her cup of water, and were swallowed down by her. And yet she still lowered her head to eat and drink, burying those hot emotions in the moments when she hung her head.
On the bus, an elderly grandmother with white hair was anxiously holding onto an elderly grandfather with white hair, hurrying to the bus door as they arrived at their stop, afraid of leaving someone behind.
Their hands were tightly clasped, trembling slightly with age. The old lady would occasionally turn back to remind the old man to keep up with her. Yet their two hands remained clasped so tightly, a grip that had lasted a lifetime.
But whose hand will she hold? Holding her until they are old and grey... This is too luxurious for her.
"Leng Xi, Leng Xi, arrived at the station, got off the bus. Why are you crying?"
The sound of Ji Xin's urgent voice rang in her ears, and Leng Xi finally came back to her senses. She hastily wiped away the tears that had fallen unintentionally. Perhaps it was because she was pregnant and easily sentimental. Or perhaps it was because she missed that luxurious tenderness too much. Every time she saw a point related to happiness, she would be moved to tears.
That white-haired couple's happiness was so touching it overwhelmed her and made her lose control.
"It's nothing. Let's get off the bus." Leng Xi wiped away all the tears from the corner of her eyes and pretended that nothing was wrong as she got off. Ji Xin followed after her.
The days passed in the years without Ling Han's presence. Bai Yicheng came to visit Leng Xi several times, but she always forced a smile and told him to leave. Because she didn't want to find a stepfather for her child. Even if Bai Yicheng said he didn't mind that the child was Ling Han's, he would secretly raise the child as his own and give him the best paternal love. Leng Xi still smiled and politely declined. She thought... she wanted to raise him herself. Even if no one accompanied her.
Time passed quietly like this, and a month had passed unnoticed. Leng Xi's two-month pregnant belly was only slightly bulging. From the outside, it was impossible to tell that she was pregnant.
That afternoon after work was different from usual. Leng Xi didn't go straight to Ji Xin Mei's home, but instead received a phone call and went to the coffee shop.
A thick cup of coffee was steaming in front of her. She just hung her head and didn't say a word.
"I came to find you today, there's something I want to tell you." Leng Ni sat across from Leng Xi, stirring her coffee with the hand still wrapped in gauze, her eyes cast downward, not looking at Leng Xi.
Leng Xi was a bit nervous. She was afraid of hearing news about her and Ling Han. She hung her head, biting her lip, still not saying a word.
"I know. Sister, you're being a bit excessive. But don't forget, Ling Han was originally supposed to be mine from the start. I'm the one who had an engagement with him. I got close to him not to drive you away, but to marry him. I am his wife."
"You... what do you want to say?" Leng Xi clenched her own fingers, not daring to look up at Leng Nie, afraid of seeing the happiness of Ling Han on her face, afraid that she would be jealous and unable to bear it.
"Hmph. What's there to say? I want you to leave Bathory City. Go back wherever you came from." Colleen sneered, her eyes filled with disdain.
Leng Xi's face twitched upwards in an incredulous expression. She glared at Leng Ni resentfully, biting her red lips. "I won't," she said with a hint of grievance. Why should she leave? This was where her work was. This was where... he was... Why should she leave?
"You...". Leng Ni seemed to be enraged by her own words, straightening up in anger, then immediately slumping down again, panting. "Since that's the case, I'm not afraid to tell you. I'm pregnant with Ling Han's child. It was that one night when we... already a month has passed." Leng Ni said.
Boom! Leng Xi was as if struck by a thunderbolt on a clear day, stunned in place.
I've been pregnant with his child for a month now. A whole month...
Those stunning words echoed in her mind, making her dizzy and disoriented. They stunned her ears, leaving her numb for half a day before she muttered a few words from her mouth. "You... you're pregnant with his child..."
"Yes. It was Ling Han's. You also know that night was my first time..." Ronnie replied.
But I'm also pregnant with his child.
Leng Xi almost blurted it out, but the words got stuck in her throat. She knew she couldn't... because Leng Ni was the woman who was going to marry Ling Han, a woman accepted by Zi Feng Auntie. And she...
"This... This is what Ling Han means. Let me go." She lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"That's right. He came to tell me to let you go."
Heart. Was ruthlessly seized. "I... I understand."
"I hope you keep your promise. Take care of yourself. I'm leaving." Ronnie stood up and walked out.
"Ah." A sudden scream came from the doorway.
Leng Xi suddenly lifted his head, only to see Leng Ni slipping and falling to the ground at the door. "Sister." Leng Xi instinctively called out in concern, getting up and rushing over to help Leng Ni...
