things went wrong. 。Ji Siyan, you're amazing! I don't have your kind of scheming, and I couldn't come up with schemes like yours. 。" Unexpectedly, you're quite insightful! I thought you were just...Lán Yànchēn's heart ached sharply, but suddenly, he didn't want to defend himself at all.

Has she ignored his love and care for her these days

Or perhaps, deep down, she never truly believed he loved her

"Yes!"

He uttered the word with anger, completely extinguishing Qin Nianxia's last shred of hope for him.

As expected, he doesn't truly love her!

From beginning to end, she never thought he would fall in love with her.

These days, it's like a dream.

Qin Nianxia choked back tears, bit her lower lip, and gave a wry smile: "I won't have children for you!"

“Niàn'er, I warn you, according to your body monitoring, you are pregnant with my child. If I find out that you deliberately get rid of this child, then for the rest of your life, you had better be prepared to be locked up in a ‘cage’ as my canary!” Leng Yánchén narrowed his black eyes slightly and said sharply.

Qin Nianxia's smile froze instantly.

When Leng Yanchen saw that she had calmed down, he slowly released her.

When he was about to help her button up her clothes, she pushed his hand away.

Only now did she realize what was going on.

Leng Yanchen saying he loved her was a huge joke!

From the moment she met him, she never imagined he would fall in love with her.

After all, the two people's backgrounds were in opposing camps.

He sparing her life is already the greatest "gift".

Knowing she was a remnant of the Adventurer's Group, he could still nonchalantly say "love" to her

Falling in love with your enemy's party member

Isn't she just too naive

And now, he was with her, the only plausible explanation he could give —

He probably wants to use their child to save his sister Xing'er.

Leng Yanchen should have guessed it a long time ago, only she and his child could...

Thinking of this, Qin Nianxia smiled wryly, as if her heart had turned to ashes. She thought he was sympathizing with her and responding to her affections out of pity. In reality…

"Alright! As you wish, I will bear this child. Once the child is born, it shall belong to you. From then on, we owe each other nothing, and you shall let me go. Otherwise..."

She suddenly understood the heartache her mother had gone through.

"Do you have any other requests" Leng Yanchen frowned.

Qin Nianxia replied blandly, "Yes, I do!"

"What else do you want Do you think your 'otherwise' is useful to me" Leng Yanchen questioned fiercely.

"Of course it's useful!" Qin Nianxia replied coldly, "If you dare to lock me up, I dare to die in front of you!"

"Are you forcing me"

"You forced my hand!"

"Alright! I'll let you go!" Leng Yanchen stood up, letting go of Qin Nianxia, and said angrily, "After giving birth to the child, I'll let you go!"

Qin Nianxia slowly lowered her eyelids, a kind of indescribable heartache spreading in her chest.

……

Through the fastest and most effective deployment plan, he defused the remaining time bombs on the cruise ship, saving the lives of thousands onboard. This major event propelled Leng Yanchen to fame in the industry.

Even within the "Five Emperors Gate," some high-ranking officials and attendants began to support Leng Yanchen as the successor of the "Five Emperors Gate."

Leng Yanchen didn't want to see his father, Leng Yeshen, but under his father's summons, he had no choice but to go.

The father and son met face to face.

Cold Night, sinking straight to the point: "Who awakened the slumbering lion in your heart"

"I thought my father would praise me." Leng Yanchen replied calmly.

Cold Night furrowed his brow: "No father would ever want their child to go into danger."

"From now on, father will no longer be fighting alone. I will also protect mother, sister, and Nian'er."

"I hope you do better than me."

……

After returning from his father, Leng Yanchen went to see Qin Nianxia first.

Since the cruise incident, he's been busy dealing with some important matters outside, and Qin Nianxia hasn't said more than a word to him in three days.

This time, he was holding a bouquet of bright yellow roses, intending to apologize to her.

After days of reflection, he realized he was wrong.

Because he knew that if he kept arguing with Nian'er, he would lose her completely.

When he was little, his mother taught him never to argue with girls, because the one who would regret it in the end would always be himself.

So, when he was young, he never argued with his younger sister Xing'er. Even if Xing'er was naughty, he would unconditionally indulge her and even help his sister clean up the mess.

But I don't know why

But it wouldn't work at Nian'er's place.

Every move Nian'er made, even her every smile and frown, held sway over his emotions.

Even, sometimes, he couldn't manage to calm down.

He was not a "saint" after all, incapable of taking care of everything.

However, when he returned to the dormitory, he didn't see Qin Nianxia. He learned from the female warrior on guard duty that Qin Nianxia had gone to the library, so he went there.

In the library, Qin Nianxia sat quietly on the bookshelf, holding a thick military book in her hands.

Hearing footsteps, she ignored them.

Leng Yanchen walked to the railing and looked up at her, softly saying: "Nian'er, I bought yellow roses, I hope you like them."

"Just throw it away! I don't like it." Qin Nianxia said without raising her head.Brother—stop quickly…" Tong Yimo closed her eyes, hugging the pillow in her arms even tighter, and grumbled unhappily, "I still want to sleep."After being tossed around all night by her big brother, s...
