For the sake of Ruan Qi’s health, Song Zhou had a discussion with her about taking a few more days off.

Ruan Qi said that she already felt much better. If she kept taking leave, she would not be able to catch up with her classes.

Song Zhou sighed. He couldn’t stop her if she wanted to go to school, but they still had to figure out a way to deal with her mother.

He was worried that if Ruan Qi’s mother made a scene at Ruan Qi’s when he wasn’t around, Ruan Qi would become so agitated that she would have a miscarriage. If that happened, he would really cry.

Therefore, Song Zhou wanted to proactively tackle the issue.

He suggested that they meet Ruan Qi’s mother together.

Ruan Qi’s head hurt when Song Zhou mentioned her mother.

But she was her mother after all. She had to tell her sooner or later about her marriage.

“Let’s meet her then.”

Ruan Qi called her mother, Ruan Xue.

When the call went through, Ruan Xue scolded her immediately for not calling her mother after so long. Did she know how worried her mother was?

Ruan Qi was touched when she heard her mother’s concern for her. She said calmly, “Mom, let’s meet up.”

Ruan Xue berated her. “You’ve been missing for so long, and you just want a meet-up? Aren’t you coming home? Don’t forget that this is your home!”

Song Zhou asked Ruan Qi to call her mother on speaker phone. When he heard Ruan Xue’s words, he nodded at Ruan Qi.

Ruan Qi felt helpless. She said to Ruan Xue, “Alright then. I’ll go home tomorrow.”

“Ruan Qi, you’re becoming more and more rebellious as you get older. You haven’t called your mother for so long, and now you’re acting so indifferent now. Do you still treat me as your mother?”

Ruan Qi laughed and asked, “Didn’t you not care when I didn’t contact you for a month or two in the past? Why are you so nervous now?”

Ruan Xue chided, “What do you mean I didn’t care? You were in school, so what’s there for me to worry about? But you have a worthless boyfriend now, and I’m worried that you’d be led astray.”

“And that Tang Beibei. I don’t think she’s a good woman either. She’s not worth making friends with. For your own good, stop hanging out with her.”

Ruan Qi chuckled. Her mother’s logic was just so strange. She did not even know Tang Beibei, yet she was judging her maliciously.

Did she think that she can interfere with her life as she pleased just because it was for her own good?

She wanted to talk back but Song Zhou stopped her.

Song Zhou patted her back and comforted her softly, “Calm down, calm down. Getting worked up over such a small matter will upset the baby.”

Then, they heard Ruan Xue say, “Qiqi, come home. I’ll set you up with someone.”

“He’s my friend’s son. He’s 25 years old this year. Although he didn’t go to university, he’s handsome, an only child and his family is rich. If you married him, your future will definitely be better than mine.”

Song Zhou couldn’t stand it when he heard Ruan Qi’s mother say that she would set Ruan Qi up with someone. He ended the call.

Ruan Qi held back her laughter, glanced at him and teased, “Why did you hang up? We should listen to what else she would say about the handsome and rich man she’s going to set me up with.”

Song Zhou’s face darkened. “Am I not handsome? Am I not rich?”

“You’re pregnant with my baby, yet you want to go on a blind date. What do you want our baby to think?”

Ruan Qi rubbed her belly. “His brain hasn’t fully developed yet. He probably can’t think anything.”

Song Zhou was frustrated. He grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her lips.

Ruan Qi smiled as she avoided his kiss. She snuggled in his arms for a while before she let him kiss her.

Song Zhou had restrained himself in the past. Even if they had sex, they didn’t do it frequently. After Ruan Qi became pregnant, he didn’t dare to do anything and was even more careful.

It was rare for Ruan Qi to be kissed by him until her heart wavered.

Ruan Qi moved around in his arms. Song Zhou quickly retreated and looked at her helplessly.

“Miss Ruan, you’re torturing me again.”

Ruan Qi felt even more aggrieved than him. “I’m not. It’s your fault that your kissing skills have improved.”

Song Zhou snuggled against her neck took in her scent. He was already contented.

As for the follow-up, there were still eight months left. He could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Tang Beibei asked Jiang Jingchen about the investigation when she got home.

Jiang Jingchen told her what he had found out.

Tang Beibei said with a serious expression, “Someone tried to harm me on purpose!”

Jiang Jingchen patted the back of her head comfortingly. “Don’t worry. I will find that person!”

Tang Beibei puffed up her face angrily. “I didn’t do anything bad, and I didn’t hurt anyone. Who would want to harm me like that?”

That person had actually used Uncle Zhang to deliver the bird’s nest to her. If she had eaten it and became addicted to the poppy mixed into it, those things would remain in her body, and she would never be able to live in peace for the rest of her life.

Tang Beibei had never judged others with malice, but this time, those people were too vicious!

“Hubby, you must find that person. We managed to escape this time. If Ruan Qi gets dragged in again, we may hurt the baby.”

Jiang Jingchen’s handsome face was dark as he replied, “Yes.”

He would not give those people a second chance!

When Tang Beibei went to the dance studio upstairs to practice, Jiang Jingchen contacted Ji Yi.

Ji Yi said, “I only found a blurry shadow outside the villa. I couldn’t see the man’s face clearly. This isn’t really a clue, so this matter is very tricky.” “Can you make a guess?”

Ji Yi replied, “It’s hard to guess. The perpetrator sent the bird’s nest into the villa. He might be after your wife, or you, or Song Zhou, even Ruan Qi. Without any concrete clues, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

Jiang Jingchen stared at the two thousand yuan on the table and narrowed his eyes.

“Looking for a needle in a haystack?”

“But I must find the needle!”

Meanwhile at a bar, Jiang Minghua, who was plagued by scandals, drankher cocktail in frustration.

Although the scandals were half-truths and the unflattering photos were photoshopped, they still affected her greatly and made her a joke.

She took a deep breath and heard a knock on the door. A man in a dress shirt walked in.

The man walked up to her and took her drink away. “Stop drinking. Haven’t you already dealt with all the negative news? Why are you still so depressed?”

Jiang Minghua got angry at the mention of the news. “Don’t let me find those people, or I’ll definitely torture them to death!”

Although they had spent money to deal with the negative news, they still couldn’t find the mastermind who spread the news.

“Minghua, I’ll help you,” the man said.

Minghua turned to look at him. She seemed a little drunk as she leaned on his shoulder.

“I’m really surprised that you offered to help.”

“I… You know that I still can’t let go.”

A hint of mockery and disdain flashed across Minghua’s mouth but when she looked up at him, her eyes were filled with joy.

“Really? I was insensible back then. Now that I think about it, I was really stupid.”

“Minghua, don’t say that. Although everything is in the past, you can now…”

“I can’t. I, I’m a little dizzy. I should go home. Thank you for your company. I’ll ask you out again another time.”

Minghua already guessed what the man was going to say, but she did not want to agree or reject him. She massaged her brows and stood up to leave.

“I’ll give you a lift.”

“Then, I’ll have to trouble you. Something’s happening at my father’s company. I’m also very upset.” Jiang Minghua tried to change the subject.

The man did not talk about his feelings anymore. Instead, he said, “The crisis at the company was deliberately created by someone. It’s not too difficult to overcome it.”

The man’s gaze was affectionate, and his voice was gentle. “I’ll help you keep an eye on the legal department. Minghua, don’t worry. Your father isn’t someone who’s easily bullied. He’ll definitely get through it.”

Minghua knew that he was a high achiever with management background, but he was too old-fashioned and stubborn.

When the two of them were a couple, they often quarreled and she couldn’t take it anymore. After she found another guy, she broke up with him during one of their fights.

And this man was so slow to think that it was his fault, that he had ruined their relationship because he made her angry.

She was his first love. It was difficult for him to let go when their relationship didn’t work out.

And because of that, she used this man to her advantage.

Jiang Minghua lamented, “Wu Rui, it’s nice that I can still chat with you calmly after so many years..”
