Chapter 16

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

If Zou Zhengguo dared to call the police, she would not have to be here.

Everyone knew that the bald man and his group could only suffer in silence even though they were the ones that suffered.

Zou Jiao knew very well that she could not call the police either.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have come looking for her today.

Meng Ying raised her eyebrows and walked up to her.

She tapped her shoulder lightly. “Little Jiaojiao, you’re so cute. Cute like a fool.”

Zou Jiao pushed her angrily.

She did not manage to push Meng Ying away.

Instead, someone grabbed her wrist.

She didn’t know where that hand came from.

The hand grabbed her with such strength that she started struggling with all her might.

“Let go of me!”

“Sure,” Meng Ying smiled harmlessly and let go.

Zou Jiao looked like she had been pushed by someone as she took two steps back.

She sprained her ankle and sat on the ground, grimacing in pain.

Meng Ying looked down at her and left.

Zou Jiao took out her phone and sent a message to the group: “Be careful when you see Meng Ying. When that fool goes crazy, she’ll bite like a dog.”

Many people asked her what happened after she sent the message, but she ignored all of them.

…

Meng Ying felt sleepy in the car again.

She forced herself to look at the scenery outside. Suddenly, she asked Ah Da to stop.

Ah Da did not know why, but he still stopped by the side.

In front of them was a badly built building. The framework had been built, but there was nothing else.

Inside were weeds that were half the height of a person. There were also piles of stones and a rusty cart.

“This is a villa.” Meng Ying walked in. There were about twenty villas. The distance between them was quite wide, and there was nothing wrong with the overall planning.

Why was it abandoned?

Ah Da did not know what she wanted to do, but this place looked eerie. She must be really daring to be able to stay inside for so long.

“Madam, it’s time to go back.”

It seemed like she still had some energy left after hanging outside for the entire day.

Meng Ying was still walking into the cluster of villas. The more she looked, the more she felt that something was amiss.

At last, she stopped beside the only villa whose main building had not yet been built. She rubbed her chin thoughtfully.

“Ah Da.” Meng Ying looked around. “Help me find out the details of this building.”

Ah Da could not understand what she meant, but he agreed without asking for the reason.

Meng Ying went back to her bedroom to sleep as soon as she reached home.

Mu Yuansheng frowned when he heard from Auntie Lian that Meng Ying was sleeping again.

He called Xu Nianhua to the villa.

“Where are you feeling unwell?” Xu Nianhua asked.

Mu Yuansheng shook his head. “It’s her.”

Xu Nianhua hesitated for two seconds before realizing who he was talking about.

“What did that wife of yours do again?” That woman gave him a really bad impression.

“She’s always lethargic.” Mu Yuansheng sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and lit a cigarette.

Xu Nianhua narrowed his eyes. “She’s already pregnant? But it’s only been a month since both of you married each other…”

Mu Yuansheng took a puff of the cigarette and glanced at him.

Xu Nianhua chuckled. “I knew you weren’t that strong.”

“When she comes down later, fix that mouth of yours.” Mu Yuansheng reminded him.

Xu Nianhua shrank his neck exaggeratedly.

…

Meng Ying went downstairs and went straight to Mu Yuansheng.

She threw herself into Mu Yuansheng’s arms, completely ignoring the fact that there was a living person beside her.

“Hubby, I missed you.”

Xu Nianhua watched from the side, his eyes almost popping out.

‘How could she throw herself at Mu Yuansheng?’

‘No, why didn’t Mu Yuansheng push her away?’

Not only did Mu Yuansheng not push her away, but he held the cigarette high as if he was afraid that she would be scalded. “Sit properly. I’ll get Doctor Xu to check on you.”

Meng Ying pouted and looked at Xu Nianhua.

They looked at each other and saw the dislike in each other’s eyes.

“Is his medical skills good?” Meng Ying asked.

Xu Nianhua was furious. If not for Mu Yuansheng, he would have left long ago.

“Yes,” Mu Yuansheng answered.

Meng Ying agreed unwillingly, “Okay then.”

Mu Yuansheng gave Xu Nianhua a look.

Xu Nianhua sighed heavily and walked to Meng Ying with the medicine box.

“Hubby, I’m scared.”

Meng Ying pounced into Mu Yuansheng’s arms again and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Xu Nianhua rolled his eyes.

Why is she doing that?

I haven’t done anything yet.

Mu Yuansheng was already used to Meng Ying’s antics.

Thus, he could only comfort her.

“It’s nothing. It’s just a physical examination. No injections, no medicine.”

Meng Ying hugged him tightly and refused to let go.

She was like a child who was afraid of seeing a doctor.

Actually, she was not afraid at all. She just wanted to take the opportunity to hug him.

“Why don’t I leave first?” Xu Nianhua did not want to disturb their moment.

Mu Yuansheng tried to pacify Meng Ying.

Meng Ying knew her limits and behaved herself.

She sat beside Mu Yuansheng and obediently let Xu Nianhua examine her.

A few minutes later, Xu Nianhua frowned. “I need to take some blood back for testing.”

Mu Yuansheng remained calm and collected.

He looked at Meng Ying, afraid that she would make a scene.

However, Meng Ying was very cooperative and reached out her hand. “Come on.”

Xu Nianhua was surprised.

He looked at Mu Yuansheng and quickly drew her blood, afraid that she would go back on her words. During the process of drawing blood, Xu Nianhua stared at the needle in his hand while Mu Yuansheng looked at Meng Ying.

Fortunately, the blood taking process went smoothly.

Xu Nianhua did not waste any time and left with his things.

Meng Ying fell into Mu Yuansheng’s arms and brought her hand to his mouth.

“Hubby, I’m in pain! Blow on it.”

Mu Yuansheng’s lips twitched.

She wasn’t foolish, but an attention seeker.

He swore that this woman was not a fool like the others had said.

Mu Yuansheng couldn’t expose Meng Ying’s coquettish acts, so he could only let her be.

Thus, he did something he’d never done before.

He grabbed her hand and blew on the tiny spot that looked like a mosquito’s bite.

The numbing wind blew across her skin and Meng Ying felt goosebumps all over.

Her heart trembled.

Not only was this man good-looking, but he was also very gentle.

Especially the way he looked right now made her beat uncontrollably.

She lowered her eyes and looked down at the bridge of her nose.

A little further down was her sexy lips.

It was the part she had never touched before.

Previously, he always blushed whenever she kissed his face.

Today, she wondered if he would explode on the spot if she kissed his lips.

Meng Ying didn’t dare to act rashly, afraid of scaring him away.

“Is this enough?” Mu Yuansheng raised his head and met that pair of charming eyes.

Her gaze was too blatant and anyone who saw it would understand the meaning behind it.

Mu Yuansheng suppressed his urge and tried to keep his distance from her.

She put her hand on her forehead. “I’m dizzy. Can I lean on you for a while?”

Mu Yuansheng wanted to tell her to sleep in her room, but she took off her shoes and went to the sofa. She laid her head on his lap skillfully and closed her eyes.

She did not give Mu Yuansheng a chance to reject her at all.

Asking him was merely a formality.

Mu Yuansheng endured it.

After she fell asleep, he carried her upstairs quietly.

Except for the light nap she had the first time, she would fall into deep sleep every time she was asleep.

This was unusual.

He could only wait for Xu Nianhua’s the test results.

When Ah Da returned, Mu Yuansheng went to the study room with him.

Ah Da reported everything.

“Ninth Master, what is Madam trying to do?”

“It doesn’t matter what she is trying to do. As long as it’s not dangerous, let her be.”
