Out of control and sinking

"Yes, you never come with me to my prenatal checkups. I always go to the hospital with Sister Zhang. I have morning sickness every night and can't sleep all night. You think I'm restless and will disturb you, so you started sleeping in a separate room from me."

"Anyway, I'm the only one who cares about this child, and you don't care at all, Rongcheng, let's break up."

Upon hearing this, Rong Cheng panicked: "Xin'er, don't be like this, I was wrong, I've been too busy with work lately."

“The higher-ups are cracking down hard lately. You don’t understand how things work in officialdom. I’m under a lot of pressure. If they find out anything, I’m finished.”

Li Xin sensed something was amiss and tentatively asked him, "What are they investigating? You haven't broken any rules or laws, why are you afraid of them investigating?"

Rong Cheng: "You don't understand. How many people in officialdom are clean? If I didn't embezzle at all, where do you think all that money came from? If I were just living off my salary, I would have starved to death long ago, let alone be able to support you."

Li Xin tensed up, grabbed his hand, and said worriedly, "Oh, Brother Rong, what if we get caught? How much have you embezzled? If it's a lot, you'll be sentenced to prison."

Seeing that her face had turned pale, Rong Cheng laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's just a formality, nothing will happen."

He stood up and pulled her into his arms: "Alright, leave everything outside to me. You don't need to worry. Just stay home and take good care of our child, and give me a healthy, chubby son."

"As long as you and your daughter are well, I'll be content."

Held in his arms, Li Xin felt nauseous as the scent of women's perfume filled her nostrils.

She thought to herself that the mother and daughter would certainly be fine, not only living well, but also taking all his money.

If Rongcheng finds out the child isn't his after it's born, he'll be furious and might do whatever he wants to her.

Therefore, Li Xin couldn't just sit idly by; she had to plan carefully and make a move ahead of time.

Otherwise, once the child is born, if the blood type doesn't match during the blood type test, she'll be in big trouble.

Rongcheng will not let her go.

Jiang Ruan stayed at home for a full half month before her wrist injury fully healed.

The doctor prescribed her a scar-reducing ointment, and after using it for half a month, not a single scar remained.

Her skin was still fair and smooth. This relieved Jiang Ruan; after all, she was an actress and often had to be on camera, and it wouldn't be good if she were photographed in the wrong situation.

Sister Qin originally wanted her to rest for a few days before returning to work, but after learning that she was injured, she gave her a two-week leave to recover properly.

However, Jiang Ruan did not slack off during these two weeks. Although she could not move her wrist, she insisted on exercising every day.

Not only did she not gain weight, she actually lost several pounds.

At the company, after more than a month apart, when Sister Qin saw Jiang Ruan again, she immediately gave her a bear hug.

Sister Qin asked anxiously, "Quickly, let me see where you're hurt?"

"President Bo is really something. How could he take you to a place like South Africa? It's so chaotic, and you even got injured."

"You scared me to death."

Jiang Ruan stretched out her arm and laughed, "Look, not a single scar remains."

"It's alright, Sister Qin, it was just an accident."

Sister Qin: "Luckily it was an accident. What would I have done if something had really happened to you?"

"You absolutely must never go to such dangerous places again, understand?"

Knowing that she was concerned about her, Jiang Ruan stuck out her tongue and said, "Okay."

"But I must say, Sister Qin, my trip to South Africa was truly eye-opening. I'll definitely try to travel more and see the world when I have the chance."

"Otherwise, I'd really feel like I'm turning into a country bumpkin."
