The lady is pregnant! Third Master, please restrain yourself after the marriage.

The voice just fell.

A snap.

The sounds of bones breaking and screams of agony rose and fell in unison.

The man was then shoved away violently.

It was probably too painful.

He sat on the ground in pain, his hand hanging limply at his sides.

It's clearly broken.

Jiang Nan was shocked and speechless as she looked at the man who had suddenly appeared in front of her.

Was Xiao Ziqian punished by the Xiao family because of Master Mo's matter?

I thought they would be severely punished, but I didn't expect them to be here.

After a long pause, Jiang Nan finally moved the corner of her mouth and asked, "Why are you here?"

In my memory, Xiao Ziqian has always been gentle and sunny.

The only two bad impressions.

Those were the two worst results.

It shattered all the positive impressions she had of him over the past two years into nothingness.

"Thank goodness I came to find you, otherwise do you know how dangerous it would have been?" Xiao Ziqian took off his suit jacket and draped it over Jiang Nan's shoulders.

Although it's not as hot in Haishi as it is in the port city.

But in summer, it's hot everywhere except in Heilongjiang Province.

Jiang Nan is dressed rather lightly tonight.

In particular, her skin is a cool-toned white, not the deathly white, but a white with a rosy glow, making her a stunning presence in a crowd.

She didn't refute it, after all, Xiao Ziqian had just helped her.

She quickly put down the bottle and helped Chen Lin up. "Are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?"

Chen Lin bumped her back just now, and it hurts terribly.

But everything is fine now.

She shook her head and said it was nothing, staring blankly at Xiao Ziqian, not expecting him to be there.

What I didn't expect was that the way he looked at Jiang Nan was so inappropriate.

During the last dinner to discuss cooperation, Chen Lin felt that she must have overlooked something.

"Let's go back first," Jiang Nan said, helping Chen Lin up.

Xiao Ziqian frowned slightly, then turned to give instructions to the people behind him.

He had just told Jiang Nan, "I'll take you back."

Jiang Nan did not refuse.

At this moment, the bar manager arrived. He looked displeased upon seeing the situation, but still forced a smile.

Xiao Ziqian ignored him and left with Jiang Nan and Chen Lin.

The friend from earlier immediately came over and said something to the manager, after which the manager immediately became extremely respectful.

Jiang Nan was not surprised at all by this situation.

Given the Xiao family's status and connections in Hong Kong, it's quite normal for Xiao Ziqian to have connections in Shanghai.

Xiao Ziqian drove himself.

Out of her fourteen years of upbringing, Jiang Nan suppressed her disgust for him and got into the passenger seat.

After telling him the hotel's location, Jiang Nan remained silent.

Xiao Ziqian wanted to say something, but when he turned around and saw her cold expression, and because Chen Lin was in the back seat, he didn't say anything.

Twenty minutes later, I returned to the hotel downstairs.

Jiang Nan prepared to help Chen Lin back.

Xiao Ziqian called out to her from behind, "Nan Nan, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Jiang Nan's expression was indifferent; she wanted to refuse.

But Chen Lin said even faster, "Well, you guys talk, I'll go upstairs by myself first."

Chen Lin sensed something was off between them while they were in the car.

At this point, it's only right to give them the space.

A fleeting hint of impatience crossed Jiang Nan's face.

Xiao Ziqian quickly came to her side. "Nannan, were you frightened by what happened just now?"

The voice was gentle and delicate, perfectly matching the one in my memory.

Jiang Nan looked up at him.

Thinking back to how he had protected her earlier, she did feel very safe.

I have to say...

If Jiang Nan hadn't known about those conspiracies and his repeated excessive actions...

Jiang Nan was also captivated by his seemingly humble yet domineering demeanor.

"It's alright, it's not as scary as the fear you caused before." Jiang Nan brought up that incident intentionally or unintentionally.

Xiao Ziqian's expression stiffened slightly.

He suppressed his displeasure and looked at her tenderly. "I admit that what I've done lately has really disappointed you, Jiang Nan. But please give me a chance to do better, okay?"

He had had enough of Jiang Nan's indifference.

It has been almost a month now.

Jiang Nan has changed a lot.

His coldness and aloofness made him feel uneasy for no reason.

In the past, Jiang Nan would never have treated him like this.

Jiang Nan felt that his sincere demeanor was acting too realistically.

Also.

For billions in assets, putting on an act is nothing.

Jiang Nan gave a faint smile. "Those things are all in the past, aren't they?"

When she said "the past," she meant it literally.

Xiao Ziqian's face immediately lit up with joy. "Do you really think so? Does that mean you've truly forgiven me?"

Jiang Nan just found it funny.

She broke up with him and said she wouldn't get engaged. Will he listen?

Drugging and forcing himself on her...

They believed she had cheated on him and seduced someone else, so they beat up Master Mo.

Such as many others.

In the eyes of Xiao Ziqian and the entire Wen family, it doesn't seem like a big deal, does it?

Their goal is to get her to obediently get engaged and married.

correct.

It would be best if Jiang Nan obediently went on her honeymoon with Xiao Ziqian and completed their plan.

"Our engagement party has been postponed to the seventh day of next month. During this time, I just want to focus on my work. Xiao Ziqian, I hope you will respect that."

Jiang Nan doesn't want to dwell on this matter too much right now; she just wants to keep Xiao Ziqian calm.

Anyway, the engagement is off.

"Nan Nan..."

Seeing her about to leave, Xiao Ziqian hurriedly grabbed her hand.

Jiang Nan glanced back at him. "Is there anything else?"

Xiao Ziqian still held her hand tightly, his gentle and affectionate eyes gazing at her for a long while.

He hesitated before speaking, "Aren't you scared being here all alone? Why don't I stay here with you?"

Jiang Nan's eyes turned cold.

I also want to ask him where he got the nerve.

But she held back, and asked with a forced smile, "You've asked me similar questions before, but I remember you always had something come up or a phone call came in."

"So, are you sure you want to come with me?"

Jiang Nan looked at him with a calm gaze, having become quite familiar with his habits over the past two years.

It's past 11 p.m. now.

Based on this timing, Wen Wan should call soon.

"Of course, I'm your fiancé. You're all alone in this unfamiliar place, so I'll stay and keep you company."

Xiao Ziqian smiled gently, reverting to his former gentlemanly demeanor, "I'll book a room next to yours..."

However, his phone rang, interrupting him.

Xiao Ziqian was taken aback and didn't take out his phone for a long time.

Sure enough, the phone rang.

"Not answering?"

Jiang Nan seemed to guess who was calling, and a mocking look appeared in his eyes.

At the same time, pull your hand back.

I need to take a good shower when I get back.

Xiao Ziqian reluctantly took out his phone.

A fleeting look of guilt crossed his face the moment he saw the caller's name.

Jiang Nan coldly curled her red lips, "Hurry up and answer the phone. I know you're busy, you don't need to keep me company."

"I'm going up."

She coldly remarked and walked into the hotel.

Xiao Ziqian watched her retreating figure, his lips moved, but he didn't chase after her. He turned around and went back to his car to answer the phone.

"Wenwan..."

Ignoring what was happening behind him, Jiang Nan straightened his back and, with an air of aloofness, boarded the elevator and went upstairs.

Upon arriving at the floor, Jiang Nan swiped his room card to prepare to enter his guest room.

At this moment, a tall and distinguished figure emerged from the innermost guest room.

He strode towards her...

Jiang Nan opened the door and was startled by the footsteps. She turned her head warily to look.
