Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Fortunately, An Yue did not fall into a coma for long. About half an hour after she had been pushed into the ward, she regained consciousness.

An Yue’s first reaction was to check her belly. The moment she reached out for her belly, the other hand was held by another person.

At the same time, a comforting voice rose in her ears, “The child is fine.”

It was only then that An Yue realized Han Yichen had been sitting next to her bed. His deep eyes were staring into hers without blinking even once.

An Yue breathed a sigh of relief before she laid back on the bed and looked at the snow-white ceiling inside the ward.

Silence spread in the atmosphere inside the ward. Unbeknownst to two of them, one of them took the initiative to speak, or perhaps the two of them tacitly spoke at the same time.

“Tm sorry.” Their voices rose in unison inside the ward. Both of them were stunned. The next thing they knew, they tacitly burst into laughter.

After they finished laughing, An Yue was the first who mumbled with a red face, ‘I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have rushed over to you so recklessly without caring for our child inside my womb.”

“Finally, you’re aware of it, huh?” Upon hearing what An Yue had said, Han Yichen unusually put up a straight face and rebuked her, “Don’t do that anymore in the future, okay? Do you know how nervous I was when I saw you dashing over to us, and how regretful I was when I saw you covering your belly as

you squatted down on the floor and screaming in pain? If anything were to happen to you and the child, I would be so remorseful that I would rather take my own life.”

Han Yichen unusually made such an affectionate confession to An Yue. As such, An Yue’s face inexplicably turned red, and it took her a long time before she whispered to him, “Got it.”

Han Yichen gave off a profound look at An Yue before he tilted his head and gave a peck on An Yue’s cheek.

An Yue was caught off guard when Han Yichen planted a kiss on her face out of the blue. She touched the area where she had been kissed and her face turned extremely red.

The corners of Han Yichen’s lips hooked up as he said quietly, ‘I’m sorry. I was partly at fault, too.”

“Huh?”

Han Yichen stretched out his hand and touched An Yue’s hair by her ear as he said remorsefully, “I failed to protect you.”

At that time, it was clear that they were very close to each other. However, Han Yichen failed to hold An Yue, and it resulted in her falling on the floor!

An Yue quickly shook her head. Han Yichen, on the other hand, suddenly stood up and leaned his forehead against An Yue’s as he enunciated each and every word clearly, “There wouldn’t be a next time. I promise that I’l protect you in the future.”

An Yue’s entire body shuddered. Her reddened face intensified. She responded to him in a whisper, “Okay.”

The atmosphere between them was so heartwarming that others were reluctant to interfere.

An Qi and Zhao Youlin stood outside the ward and peeped at the couple through the door gap. When they were convinced that An Yue was safe and sound, they heaved a sigh of relief in unison. They exchanged glances with each other before reaching out to close the door and give the couple some private

space.

Meanwhile, Mu Tingfeng and Nie Yunfan had long departed before Han Yichen and An Yue flaunted their love in public. Mu Tingfeng and Nie Yunfan looked for a secluded area to discuss the follow-up matter.

“How do you plan on handling Mr. Xu?” Mu Tingfeng looked at Nie Yunfan as he asked him straight to the point.

Nie Yunfan scratched his head in annoyance and said angrily, ‘What else can be done? I can’t possibly act like a gangster and find someone to kill him whenever I like, can I?”

Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flashed before he blurted out, “We can make his life a living hell.”

When Nie Yunfan heard what he said, his entire body shuddered and his expression darkened.

Mu Tingfeng was right. They could make Xu Huaining’s life a living hell. If they did not crush him completely, someday, he would return to them. Today was a good example of his return!

Nie Yunfan looked up at Mu Tingfeng and pleaded, “Do you have any good suggestions?”

“With the Nie family’s status in Shalnork, you could not simply act like a gangster and get him killed, However, I believe it’s easy to make him unable to stay in Shalnork anymore, right?”

Nie Yunfan was stunned. His eyes brightened, and he already had a plan in mind.

An Yue was fine. As such, Han Yichen and the rest of his group did not plan to tell Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong about the accident. Unfortunately, walls had ears. In the end, Duan Yarong and her group still found out about the incident.

As a result, Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group were chastised by Duan Yarong for half an hour. If it had not been An Yue stopping her by the side, Duan Yarong would have been more hostile in her chastisement.

Ever since An Yue and Han Yichen’s wedding, Duan Yarong was getting more hot-tempered. This was especially so after she learned that An Yue was pregnant. Her temper had intensified by multiple folds. As such, everyone in the Zhao family, including the former master of the family, dared not simply

anger her.

Over the past, Zhao Shunrong had adored Duan Yarong. He forgave her for everything. However, now, he was afraid of her throwing a tantrum.

The only person in the Zhao family who could keep Duan Yarong under control was none other than An Yue.

“Mother, Youlin and Chen are afraid that you would be concerned about me. Besides, I’m fine now. You don’t have to be so shocked.”

“Shocked?” Upon hearing An Yue’s words, Duan Yarong’s face turned dark once again.

‘When Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group saw this, they quickly shot a glance at An Yue, hinting to her to speak less lest they anger Duan Yarong once more. It was not worth it.

‘An Yue received their hints. She moved her clear, bright gaze away and shouted, “Ouch!”

Indeed, Duan Yarong immediately shifted her attention to An Yue. “What’s the matter? What’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

‘An Yue smiled embarrassedly, “Mother.. I.. am hungry.”

Duan Yarong froze. It took her some time before she snapped out of her daze and realized that they had long missed dinner time. An Yue had not taken anything. She must be famished. It was only then that Duan Yarong heaved a sigh of relief and no longer bothered about getting angry with the rest. She

patted An Yue’s hand and said, “Tl have the kitchen lady prepare something for you right now.”

‘Okay.”

As soon as Duan Yarong left, Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group unwittingly heaved a sigh of relief.

‘Oh, my God! My mother wasn’t like that in the past. I guess I’m already out of her favor.” Zhao Youlin took the initiative to wrap her arms across My Tingfeng as she complained and gave a teasing look at An Yue.

An Yue received the underlying meaning from Zhao Youlin’s words. Her small face unwittingly turned red, and she hid behind Han Yichen’s back.

Han Yichen’s eyes flashed. There was a hint of a smile in his eyes.

“How could we easily avoid Mother’s rebuke if not for the fact that you have fallen out of her favor?”

The corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips twitched. When she saw how protective Han Yichen was of An Yue, she could not help but lament the fact that her so-called elder brother was truly unreliable. He had forgotten about his own younger sister as soon as he was married.

However, Zhao Youlin had to admit that Han Yichen was right. If not for the fact that An Yue helped them by the side, they wondered how long they still had to be nagged at by Duan Yarong.

It was clear that Duan Yarong had been a very gentle and elegant woman before this. How could she turn out to be so frightening in just a while? Could she be having.. menopause?

Apparently, Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group had been thinking in this way. However, they could only keep this thought to themselves. If any of them dared to speak up, the person would certainly be down on their luck..historical
