ing ignored her...He dragged Wen Man in and tossed her into the car.His tall frame pinned her down, still in the parking lot, right there inside the car. He stripped away her woolen skirt, pulling it...Lu Qian's footsteps faltered.

After a long while, he instructed Liu's secretary: "Find her a hotel room."

Liu, the secretary, personally went to untie the rope for the young master. Seeing that the little girl was unharmed, Liu's nose ached: "It's good that she's okay!"

Mingzhu, however, watched Lu Qian's departing figure, stunned.

Her heart sank slowly.

……

Early morning.

Lu Qian stood by the window, and Liu, his secretary, respectfully put a coat on him. She whispered, "Ms. Lan's right hand is disabled, and she will probably have to train her left hand from now on. What do you think we should do about her arrangement"

Lu Qian lit a cigarette.

For a moment, he whispered, “She’s still of use.”

He wanted her to be his " confidante ", if anyone dared to target those around him, the first person they'd go after would be Lan Zimiao. To put it bluntly, she was his human sieve.

And she, couldn't refuse!

Ms. Liu fell silent.

Lu Qian turned his head and smiled bitterly: "Scared That's how I am. What else do people say about me A smiling tiger, a ruthless king of hell!"

But even a person like him has weaknesses.

Now, he's going to see that weakness!

……

The best hotels in city.

Outside the suite, several bodyguards stood guard, never leaving their post.

In the suite, Mingzhu hugged a box of rice and ate with tears streaming down her face.

Before she met Lu Qian, she rarely cried. Even when she was in love with Gu Changqing, she only said she took sleeping pills to scare him, just two or three. At that time, she thought her infatuation with Gu Changqing was just liking him.

But when she truly tasted love, she realized how superficial it was.

She couldn't eat; the thought of food made her nauseous.

Later, she felt really nauseous. Even the faintest smell of meat made her sick. She leaned over the sink and vomited until she was dizzy. This was unusual because she usually had a good appetite.

Mingzhu touched her own small belly, lost in thought.

She remembered, a month or so ago, the last time they had sex without protection.

Could she be pregnant

Mingzhu lifted her face. In the mirror, her complexion was as pale as paper.

She almost immediately rushed out, she needed to buy a pregnancy test. She had to know if she was really pregnant with Lu Qian's child. If there truly was a child, she wanted to ask him -

The guard at the door politely stopped her and said, "Miss Mingzhu, Secretary Liu instructed that you are not allowed to go anywhere."

The man hesitated.

In the end, they still made her go downstairs, but sent two people to follow her.

Across from the hotel, there was a 24-hour pharmacy. She went in and quickly bought something, hiding it in her pocket, before rushing back to her room.

One minute later, two red lines appeared on the pregnancy test.

She is pregnant……

She is pregnant with Lu Qian's child!

A knock on the door was followed by the sound of light footsteps. She recognized it as Lu Qian's walking.

She gently touched her small belly and slowly walked out.

Less than two hours had passed since they last saw each other, yet there was already a sense of distance between them.

Min Zhu's lips trembled. She wanted to tell him, she was pregnant.

Lu Qian spoke first.

He sat down on the sofa, his slender jade-like fingers gently caressing the armrest, as if weighing his words before speaking: "Mingzhu, you also saw how dangerous it is to be by my side."

She wanted to say, she wasn't afraid.

Lu Qian smiled gently, gazing at her and softly asking, "Then what can you do for me by staying by my side Can you bleed for me like Zi Mei Mingzhu, I need people like that around me, not little ghosts who only cry."

She murmured, "Do you like her"

"I admire her!"

Lu Qian patted the wrinkles on his pants and said calmly, "Her right hand is disabled! I did it myself!"

Be afraid, be afraid to return to city B immediately.

Mingzhu's lips trembled, she didn't understand what he meant.

Lu Qian smiled, speaking directly and cruelly: "I admire women like her! Mingzhu, you are very cute, but you're only suitable for passing time during peaceful periods. Mingzhu, I am destined not to live in peaceful times, understand"

He suddenly said harshly, "You don't understand anything!"

She probably understood.

He was a little bit fond of her, but that fondness wasn't enough for him to give up what he had. He liked power plays and authority, and she simply wasn't the right woman for him.

Isn't Miss Blue just the right fit

She didn't ask, her lashes drooping slowly.

He was a man of great affairs, and he had told her so clearly. What did it matter that she used a child to bind him

Under the dim lights, their silhouettes remain.

She didn't tell him she was pregnant.

She just tilted her head back and said softly, "Then I wish Mr. Lu a brilliant career."

Lu Qian gazed at her.

And she broke off, her voice short and broken: "Just go! Or I'll follow you."

Lu Qian slowly got up.

He hesitated, as if he wanted to stroke her head, but ultimately gave up. He held the doorknob until he reached the door, and only then did he murmur, "Mingzhu, I'm sorry!"

He apologized to her for not being fully prepared emotionally for this.

He apologized for the lack of an ending to their story.

His little girl, will eventually meet a good man. And a man like him only deserves to live in the world of power struggles, let it be his punishment...

Lu Qian left.

The door creaked open and then closed again.

Mingzhu slipped on the soft carpet and buried her face, sobbing silently.

She returned to city B, but she didn't dare go home.

She went to that house on Guangyuan Road and spent her days lying inside, surviving on whatever she could find in the refrigerator.

She can't cook, so she just puts it in water and boils it.

Every night, she would wake up in fright because she dreamt of her Uncle Lu coming back. He would gently hold her to bed and pat her on the bottom, telling her she was being naughty.

When I woke up, the corners of my eyes were wet with cold tears.

But he never came back...

When she woke from her stupor, two months had passed and her belly had grown.

She didn't dare go home anymore.

She dared not let her family know she was pregnant, and even less so that the child in her belly was Lu Qian's. She was on the run, with no cards, no money...

The clothes she wore gradually became simpler.

She moved into a rented apartment of over 20 square meters. She learned to do odd jobs, earning a meager wage to support herself. She even learned how to make simple scrambled eggs...

Slowly, she even became stingy about a cup of milk tea.

She occasionally sees Lu Qian in the news.

He was still as dashing and energetic as ever, she could tell his clothes were very expensive. Looking down at her own $29 shirt, she realized they were from different worlds now.s.After Yan's secretary left, she lowered her head and started eating the congee. It was probably made by a five-star hotel – fragrant, soft, and not greasy at all. Although Anran had an upset stomach...
