Chapter 72 Baby, will you cheer for Mommy?

  "There's also the big shot in the police department, Bai Yicheng, who has also become enemies with Ling Han... The battle against Ling Han has begun......" Little brother was very excited, and reported back with a self-satisfied smile.

  "Hmm, the snipe and the clam are fighting, just waiting for me to reap the benefits of the fisherman's gain. Now Ling Han should already be very resentful towards Leng Xi, right? Letting her return to his side would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. And Bai Yi Cheng also has intentions of letting go of Leng Xi. This timing is exactly my perfect opportunity to make a move..." Mu Rong Xiao Zhi's lips had a rich and self-satisfied color.

  "Congratulations, Young Master has won back the beauty. The young lady will soon return to her original owner. Do you want to send an email to tell Old Madam this news? She must be very happy." The little brother next to him chimed in.

  Murong Xiaozi lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then raised her hand and said, "No need to. Wait until I take her back and give her old folks a surprise..."

  It was said so, but in Mu Rong Xiao Zuo's deep blue eyes, there was a hidden loneliness and doubt.

  Why did Ling Han's demonic nature erupt only after sleeping with someone else for one night at Leng Creek?

  To know, women in Ling Han's eyes have always been just fleeting guests. Everyone takes what they need. If they don't like it, they go their separate ways. Even if Leng Xi cheats, so what? Ling Han can completely ignore Leng Xi and move on with a carefree heart. It's just one woman after all. He plays with her and then is played by others. At worst, he can just throw her away like trash and never bother with her again.

  What a trivial matter it was for Ling Han in the past, yet now it has made him fly into a rage, even to the point of being ruthless and cruel. He had also stripped Bai Yi Cheng of his position. It's likely that this won't just be a case of the fish in the moat suffering along with the dragon.

  Murong Xiao's eyes narrowed and his expression became even more solemn. It seemed that something had already taken shape in Ling Han's place, and he needed to think of a way to destroy it...

  After Leng Xi left the Lingyun Group, she herself didn't know how she ended up working at the skyscraper. She was dazed and confused, her nerves and body aching all over.

  The scenes of Ling Han's cold and passionate face kept flashing in her mind, each time making her heart ache a little more, her face turning paler by the inch.

  Is Ling Han taking revenge on her? But she really didn't do anything with Bai Li Cheng... Ling Han must be very angry now. She's also very angry. He's about to become a father and still messing around with other women... She really can't take it. Just thinking about it makes her unbearable. Her eyes are welling up again. She really doesn't want to cry. But she loves to cry. It's so annoying...

  Looking at Leng Xi biting her lip and enduring the sparkling eyes, Ji Xin Mei let out a silent sigh on the side, slightly lowering her eyelids, covering up the threads of guilt in her eyes. "Are you still angry with Bai Yicheng? Actually, this can't be blamed on him..." Ji Xin Mei's clear and cold voice carried a hint of softness.

  Leng Xi hastily blinked away the tears in her eyes, raised her head and looked at Ji Xin with a puzzled expression. "How did you know about me and Bai Li Cheng?" Last night's matter was private, not something that everyone would know about... Could it be true that good news doesn't spread far, but bad news travels a thousand miles?

  "Actually..." Ji Xin Mei hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself. Finally, she mustered up the courage and said it out loud. "You know I'm Bai Xiao You's personal bodyguard, right? Actually, I was called over by Bai Yi Cheng to follow you around."

  Leng Xi was shocked. "No way. You're Baili Cheng's spy."

  Ji Xin's face suddenly became very embarrassing, and he lowered his head in shame.

  "Haha, just kidding with you. He must have told you to stay by my side and protect me." Leng Xi smiled and patted Ji Xin Mei's shoulder, comforting her. She said that to find some amusement and also to comfort herself a bit. Her heart was too heavy, she needed to relax a little.

  "Alright, I suppose. But there's more to it. Don't you want to know why Bai Yicheng always knows where you are? He always appears in front of you when you're alone. Actually, it was me who told him your whereabouts..." Ji Xinmei said in one breath. She decided to be honest.

  The last time at the hotel, Mu Rong Xiao Zuo's attack incident. She already owed Ling Han a debt of gratitude. By helping Bai Yi Cheng like this, it seemed unfair to Ling Han. The more she owed him.

  "Oh... so that's how it is. I was wondering..." Leng Xi didn't react much either, just seemed to suddenly understand and responded with a sound, then continued to prop up his head to look at his own drawings again.

  She doesn't actually care about anything else right now. She's been thinking about her own child all the time, worried about Ling Han's misfortune.

  And she almost didn't react, making Ji Xin think she was still sulking and angry, so she refused to speak. Ji Xin continued to explain, "Actually, Bai Yi Cheng would do this because he cares about you too much. You can try to understand him. I also have my own faults. I'm really sorry..." She said, bowing her head in apology.

  Leng Xi stared blankly at the blueprint, lost in thought. Suddenly, she was pulled back to reality by Ji Xin Mei's actions. She quickly helped her up, looking more flustered and embarrassed than Ji Xin Mei herself. "Don't do that, I'm fine, really, I'm not angry. I know how much effort Bai Li Cheng put into this, and what he's thinking. But... but I really... I have someone I love..." As she spoke, her face suddenly flushed red, and her heart skipped a beat. That feeling, except for Ling Han, no one else could give her. Thinking of Ling Han, her heart would always be filled with a warm, gentle ache, a mix of sadness and warmth. What was this feeling? Was it love? Even if someone else were better, they couldn't replace him.

  "En, that's good." Hearing Leng Xi's words of forgiveness, Ji Xin Mei also felt a lot more at ease. Unexpectedly, she smiled faintly, her lips and teeth as white as plum blossoms in the snowy landscape. So beautiful.

  Leng Xi didn't expect Ji Xin Mei, this ice mountain beauty, to also laugh. Watching this scene, she was stunned for half a second, her heart filled with endless admiration.

  Wait a minute. Why did she forgive Bailing Cheng? Seasoning Heart will reveal such a heartfelt smile. Is the relationship between Seasoning Heart and Bailing Cheng very good? Or is it...

  Leng Xi blinked her eyes, seeming to understand a bit. She wanted to probe into Ji Xin's heart, so she pulled on Ji Xin's sleeve and leaned in close to her ear, whispering, "Xin, do you see Bai Li Cheng's heart racing?"

  Her face suddenly flushed from her forehead to the roots of her ears. Ji Xin's heartstrings trembled. Her whole body felt uncomfortable and seemed to be crawling with a faintly warm temperature.

  It was just one sentence, but it was enough to make her realize the meaning behind those words. Ji Xin's face, which had always been as calm and serene as snow, suddenly flushed with a crimson glow.

  She looked away somewhat uncomfortably, her eyes sparkling. "N...no. How could..."

  She denied it. But her stuttering words betrayed her.

  Leng Xi didn't need her affirmative answer. She also knew what it's like to have a crush on someone. Isn't it just being a little shy and hard to face? Looking at Ji Xin Mei's blushing face, she already understood. In her heart, she secretly smiled.

  "Coos..." The gloomy mood is gone. She had forgotten about Ling Han's hurtful words. The little thing in her tummy was jumping around, cooing and crying out that it was hungry and wanted to eat. It seemed to know when its mommy was feeling down, when she was feeling good, when to be quiet, and when to make a fuss.

  It feels like Leng Creek is laughing now. So boldly making a fuss about being hungry. Also recklessly calling out.

  Leng Xi rubbed his flat stomach, feeling warm and fuzzy inside. He no longer felt embarrassed in front of Ji Xin Mei. He flashed her a brilliant smile and said, "Let's go eat something. I heard that the ice cream shop across the street just opened. Why don't we go give it a try...?" She was now very hungry.

  Ji Xin nodded slightly.

  Across from the skyscraper is a commercial street with food vendors and small jewelry shops.

  He Jixin and two people each ate an ice cream cone, so cold and sweet. Leng Xi took He Jixin to the neighboring pizza shop and ordered a large piece of pizza. The hot pizza had just come out of the oven, still emitting heat. Leng Xi deeply inhaled a mouthful, smelling so good... really wanting to eat...

  She cut a big piece and put it on her own plate, gave a small piece to Ji Xinmei, smiled, and then sent the pizza into her mouth. The chewing motion was savory and delicious, as if she was eating the most beautiful food in the world.

  Ji Xin Mo stared blankly at the side, while Leng Xi seemed to have transformed into a different person. Normally, she had a small appetite and couldn't even finish a few slices of pizza, but now she was eating large blocks one after another, still having room for more...

  "Ugh......" Chī dào yí bàn de lěng xī tū rán rēng xià pī sà wǎng cèsuǒ pǎo qù. Yàng zǐ jí wèi nán shòu. Sì hū shì yào tù.

  Translation:

  "Ugh......" Half-eaten, Leng Xi suddenly threw down the pizza and ran to the toilet. He looked extremely uncomfortable. It seemed like he was about to throw up.

  Ji Xin was stunned. She didn't know what the situation was now. Could it be that Leng Qing had been beaten by Ling Han and gotten sick? Looking at the big red palm print on her face, it should have been done by Ling Han.

  When he came out again, Leng Xi's mouth was spitting out bright red blood, and his eyes were filled with unshed tears.

  Ji Xin asked anxiously, "Should we go to the hospital and have you checked out? You don't look too good."

  "It's nothing, it's nothing. Just eat a bit more and it'll be fine..." She waved her hand, sat down, picked up the pizza from earlier again, but didn't have much of an appetite to eat. "Let's go buy some ice cream instead..." She threw down the pizza and stood up.

  She grew up alone since she was a child, and didn't understand many things. Her mother never told her anything about being a woman. She had no idea what pregnant women should pay attention to. She felt terrified when she threw up everything she ate. She was afraid that she couldn't take good care of the baby in her belly and would lose another child... She really couldn't bear losing again...

  Forced herself to eat something. Leng Xi took Ji Xin Meng to a small accessories store again.

  She stood in front of a glass window and stared at something in a daze. It was a small ornament made of agate. Two rings. Couple's ring.

  Two rings placed together. The decorations on the ring are two small people. The lady's ring is inlaid with a man. The gentleman's ring is inlaid with a woman. The two people gaze at each other, staring at each other... pieced together into a heart.

  She suddenly had an idea in her mind. "Boss, I want this..." She turned her head to the boss of the store and said.

  "Miss, you have a great taste. This is a pair of couple rings designed by one of our designers. It's the only pair in the world and there will never be another one like it again... because the designer passed away recently... His blessing is an eternal blessing, also a unique one. This one-of-a-kind eternity ring will surely bring happiness to you and your loved one..." The store owner's words were sincere, with a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

  One and only eternity... Leng Creek muttered in her heart, patted her belly, her eyes were a little wet, baby, will you cheer for Mommy?
