The woman seemed to say something. The man raised his hand and slapped her. The crisp sound of a slap came from the house.

“Talk. It’s boring if you don’t talk.” The man pinched Su Yueran’s chin. “Who is Lin Qingyuan trying to mock by sending a mute over?”

Su Yueran bit the soft flesh in her mouth until it bled. She stubbornly turned her face to the side. “What did you say?”

“How boring.” The man let go of Su Yueran’s face and stood up. He took a cake from the side and carefully smeared the cream on Su Yueran’s face and neck.

Feeling the sticky cream on her face, Su Yueran lay on the carpet in despair, her mouth already filled with blood.

“Why are you crying?” The man finished applying all the cream and looked at his masterpiece in satisfaction. “Didn’t you sleep with that CEO Wang last week? Why are you pretending to be a chaste woman here?”

Tears fell from the corners of Su Yueran’s eyes as she closed her eyes in despair.

The buttons were unbuttoned bit by bit. Su Yueran’s hand gently stroked her stomach.

Although she had never wanted to admit it, she had to admit that she was starting to regret it.

If she had not been bewitched by vanity back then and followed Lin Qingyuan,

Perhaps she would be an ordinary student who had just graduated and was doing a nine-to-five job. Even if the money was not much, at least she would live peacefully and not have to be afraid every day and be given to others as a plaything.

A sparkling tear welled up in the corner of Su Yueran’s eye. The tear streaked across the corner of her eye and cut through the cake.

The man’s breathing was getting closer and closer. Su Yueran turned her head to the side, preparing to let him be.

However, the door suddenly opened and the sound of high heels sounded at the door.

The man and Su Yueran looked over in unison.

The moment she saw Xia Wanyuan, Su Yueran turned around and covered herself with her hand.

“Hey, isn’t this Miss Xia?” The man did not panic and slowly got up from Su Yueran. “Miss Xia, it’s not appropriate for you to enter without knocking, right?”

Xia Wanyuan frowned and looked at Su Yueran, who was covering her face. “You.”

“Miss Xia, her husband doesn’t care about this matter. You won’t be nosy, right?” The man sneered. If word of this got out, it would tarnish Lin Qingyuan’s reputation. He felt that Xia Wanyuan wouldn’t find such trouble for herself.

Xia Wanyuan was silent for a moment before turning to walk out.

Watching Xia Wanyuan leave, the man sneered. “She does have a good figure. It’s a pity that Jun Shiling isn’t as generous as Lin Qingyuan.”

As the man spoke, he got out of bed and closed the door.

However, just as the door was about to close, it was suddenly blocked. The man pulled open the door. Xia Wanyuan was standing outside with a cold expression.

Xia Wanyuan glanced at him. “Are you leaving yourself, or should I get someone to come?”

“Mrs. Jun, you’re so generous. As far as I know, your husband and Lin Qingyuan are sworn enemies. Su Yueran has done many things to trip you up.”

Xia Wanyuan was unmoved by the man’s words.

She did not stand up now because she sympathized with Su Yueran.

She naturally hated Su Yueran and hoped that Su Yueran would receive the punishment she deserved, but it did not mean that she could ignore this situation.

If she remembered correctly, Su Yueran was already a few months pregnant. She could not stand it anymore.

Xia Wanyuan took out her phone. “The Beijing newspaper office is five hundred meters away. Why don’t I make a call now? I believe they’ll be very willing to see Director Zhang…”

Before Xia Wanyuan could finish speaking, the man took a shirt from the side and put it on. “You win. Miss Xia, it’s satisfying to save someone. I want to see how long you can be arrogant.”

The man put on his clothes and swaggered out of the room.

After the man left, Xia Wanyuan turned to leave.

She could not stand a pregnant woman being treated like this, but that did not mean she liked Su Yueran.

“Why did you save me? Shouldn’t you be very happy?” Xia Wanyuan had just taken a step when Su Yueran’s voice sounded behind her.

Xia Wanyuan stopped in her tracks. “My happiness isn’t affected by you.”

Su Yueran laughed at herself. “Actually, I don’t hate you that much. I’m just jealous of you.”

But now, she did not even have the right to be jealous.

“If you don’t want this child, you don’t have to let him suffer with you. If you still want him, you should think about how to not let him suffer with you.”

Xia Wanyuan left after saying this.

In the room, Su Yueran removed her hand from her face. Her face was already filled with tears.

Xia Wanyuan specially closed the door when she left. Su Yueran cried bitterly in the hotel room before washing the dirt off her body, putting on her clothes, and leaving.

When she returned to the manor, Xia Wanyuan inexplicably felt like vomiting when she thought of how Su Yueran had just been smeared with cream.

Jun Shiling patted her back. “Is your pregnancy reaction starting?”

Xia Wanyuan shook her head and reached out to hug Jun Shiling’s arm. “Maybe I’m a little sad because I’m pregnant too.”

Jun Shiling gently stroked Xia Wanyuan’s hair. “Then be sad for a while. You’ll be fine later.”

“Mm.” Smelling the cedar smell on Jun Shiling, Xia Wanyuan was much more relieved. She lay in his arms and fell asleep unknowingly.

After some time, Jun Shiling’s phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and took a look, his expression softening a little.

According to the news from the research institute, Bo Xiao’s muscle atrophy had been very well alleviated.

As long as there was no subsequent reaction, the virus in Bo Xiao’s body should be eliminated.

After reading the message, Jun Shiling was about to turn off his phone when a secret email was sent over.

The email was an investigation of Old Master Fu from the Cultural Research Institute.

The investigation revealed that Old Master Fu had once carried out an archaeological excavation around Linxi City when he was young.

At that time, he had just entered university and had run around the country with his mentors and seniors. Nothing had ever happened.

Only when they were inspecting Linxi did the expedition team encounter an accident. At that time, there were six of them in a team. Other than Old Master Fu, the rest were buried in the mountains.

This was a very sensational news at that time, but time gradually buried the deceased in the sand.

Now that Jun Shiling had sent someone to investigate, it was easy to dig up what had happened back then.

“What are you looking at?” Xia Wanyuan had woken up at some point in time and was leaning into Jun Shiling’s arms to look at his phone.

Seeing the content of the email, the doubts in Xia Wanyuan’s eyes intensified. “Is it really an accident?”

Jun Shiling was not sure either. “I’ll get them to continue investigating.”

Back then, under the scientific and technological conditions, the deaths of these people were naturally determined to be accidents, but not necessarily now.
