“Qin Fu…”

Qin Fu grabbed Wan Xiaosu’s waist. Her waist was very small. It was as if it would snap at the slightest pinch.

Wan Xiaosu was not used to it and wanted to push him away, but he was very strong. He wasn’t going to let her reject him.

“Wan Xiaosu, we are legally married. It’s not right for you to call me by my name or Young Master Qin…” Qin Fu pulled her onto his lap.

She couldn’t help but tremble. She couldn’t resist.

He…

What was he trying to do?

His other hand grazed her chin. “Let me think. You should call me hubby.”

“We don’t have feelings for each other.” From the very beginning, Wan Xiaosu had married him in Bai Qiangwei’s stead. She gave up her freedom.

However, her words did not make Qin Fu happy.

“Ah!” The pain in her shoulder made Wan Xiaosu cry out in shock.

Qin Fu only let go of her when he smelled blood. His deep gaze looked dangerous.

He said calmly, “Regardless of whether we have feelings for each other, you are still my woman. Understand?”

Wan Xiaosu bit her lip and did not say a word. He was behaving like a pervert.

It didn’t matter if she didn’t respond. Qin Fu had his ways.

After the meal…

Wan Xiaosu went to the bathroom and tore off her clothes. The bite mark on her shoulder was still bleeding.

The marks were deep. He had obviously used some force.

She looked at herself in the mirror and recalled what had happened in the past few days. Could she really escape this house?

Late at night, she curled up under the blanket alone. Then, a thick arm encircled her.

Qin Fu rested his head on her neck. Wan Xiaosu tensed up, and she did not dare to move.

“Wan Xiaosu, am I that scary? Why are you so afraid of me?” This was the first time he had such strange feelings for a woman.

When they first met, he hated her. He hated women like her.

However, Wan Xiaosu had successfully aroused his interest and possessiveness. She had appreciated his kindness more than anyone else had in all these years.

Faced with Qin Fu’s question, Wan Xiaosu took a deep breath. “I am scared.”

“Hmph, even if you’re scared, you can still stay here. Your performance will determine whether your childhood sweetheart will live.” After saying that, he fell into a deep sleep, clearly exhausted.

He breathed heavily, exhaling hot air that made her feel uncomfortable.

This was the first time in her life that someone had hugged her to sleep, but it only made her more afraid.

How could she not be afraid of someone who poisoned her and threatened her all the time?

That fear lasted until dawn.

After Qin Fu left, she fell asleep.

She only woke up when her phone rang.

“Wan Xiaosu, don’t you care about the family at all? You’re really cold-blooded. You hurt your loved ones for a stranger. You’re so hypocritical. Why don’t you go and die?” On the other end of the phone, Bai Qiangwei’s voice was shrill.

Wan Xiaosu’s drowsiness was gone, but she could not understand what Bai Qiangwei was saying.

She continued. “Wan Xiaosu, if the Qin family destroys the Bai Family, you won’t be able to escape! The blood of the Bai family flows in your veins. This is a fact that you can’t erase.”

“Wan Xiaosu, do you think you can rest easy now that you’re a part of the Qin family? Don’t forget that I gave that to you. You’re only worthy of picking up my trash, you dirty thing!”

Wan Xiaosu took a deep breath and brushed her hair. She was very anxious to hear Bai Qiangwei say all that.

However, she felt that it was a little ridiculous. Who picked up what? Who gave in to who?

She was still pretending to be the hero after striking a bargain!

Ridiculous.

“Are you done?” Wan Xiaosu’s indifferent words interrupted Bai Qiangwei, and she went silent.

“First of all, Bai Qiangwei, I’m the one who married Qin Fu. I’m the Bai family’s daughter, and that doesn’t concern you. Secondly, I’ve never looked up to the Qin family.”

“As for why the Qin family targeted the Bai family, can’t you figure it out? There’s more! I have never owed the Bai family anything. The Bai family owes me.”

At this point, Wan Xiaosu’s eyes were red.

It was the Bai family who owed her. They had agreed to save her grandmother.

And the result?

The entire family lied to a country girl.

“That means you don’t want to help us, right?” Bai Qiangwei, who had been silent up till then, suddenly spoke again. Her tone was extremely cold.

Wan Xiaosu sneered. “Don’t pick a fight with me next time.”

Wan Xiaosu wiped away her tears and hung up.

It was clearly Bai Qiangwei’s fault that Qin Fu targeted the Bai family, but she still could not piece it together.

Why did Madam Bai cast Wan Xiaosu out? She was her biological daughter…

Just as sadness washed over Wan Xiaosu, the room door opened.

A servant brought her some clean clothes. “Young madam, Young Master Song is waiting for you downstairs.”

Young Master Song?

Wan Xiaosu did not know who that was. After changing, she went downstairs.

She saw Song Lianming in a white coat.

“Sister-in-law, I’m here to give you a check-up.” Song Lianming spoke first, conveying the purpose of his visit. He should have given her a check-up yesterday.

After all, she was pregnant with the Qin family’s flesh and blood. He couldn’t be too careful.

Wan Xiaosu, who did not know anything about the baby, was a little confused. “A check-up?”

“Yes, you were injured some time ago. I’m here to check on your recovery. I’ll be doing a full-body examination.” He could also check on the baby.

So that was the case. Wan Xiaosu nodded.

This facade made sense to her, so she agreed without putting up a fight. “Okay.”

Song Lianming brought her to the Qin family’s medical room. The Qin family had their own medical room, which was specially built for Song Lianming’s use.

The purpose was convenience.

Wan Xiaosu obediently complied with a series of tests.

The report ended up in Qin Fu’s hands.

In the tall building of the Qin Corporation…

Qin Fu looked at the ultrasound. That was his first child, and now, it looked like a bean sprout.

Suddenly, he was really looking forward to the birth of this little brat.

Grandma’s condition had improved a lot, and she would wake up soon. With Song Lianming around, he did not need to worry.

Only the Bai family was worried now.

Mu Cheng placed the Bai family’s stock market data in front of Qin Fu.

Qin Fu, who was originally in a good mood, was now a little unhappy. “That person still hasn’t made a move?”

“No, but Bai Qiangwei called Madam. She apparently threatened her. I think she’s hoping that Madam can help the Bai family.” Mu Cheng frowned. He felt that the CEO had shown mercy to the Bai family, but the Bai family did not appreciate it.

“Bai Qiangwei?” Qin Fu raised his eyebrows. He remembered the girl who stole Wan Xiaosu’s identity. “Go warn the Bai family. If they provoke us again, I’ll respond. It would be rude not to.”

He had been suppressing the incident of Madam Bai laying her hands on Wan Xiaosu. He also wanted to investigate the reason for that.

She was a mother who hurt her own flesh and blood. There must be an interesting story behind that.

“Continue your investigation. The more we know about Madam Bai, the better. We can’t afford any mistakes.”
