Shu Xue’s actions were too sudden. Hu Ke could not dodge in time and was about to fall to the ground.

She subconsciously covered her lower abdomen with her hand, thinking that she must not let the baby get hurt. However, Bai Xiao’s reaction was faster than hers. He grabbed Hu Ke’s arm and pulled her up forcefully before walking towards Shu Xue.

Shu Xue was trembling abnormally, and she looked crazy.

Seeing Bai Xiao walking towards her, she suddenly laughed and reached out to hug him.

Bai Xiao’s face was filled with disgust. He looked at her and said, “You’d better not appear in front of me.”

Shu Yu ran over with her bodyguards and heard Bai Xiao’s emotionless words.

Shu Yu instantly broke out in cold sweat. He pulled Shu Xue behind him and let the bodyguards catch her. Then, he bowed deeply to Hu Ke and Bai Xiao.

“I’m sorry that I didn’t take good care of my sister and frightened the two of you. Mr. Bai knows my contact information. If you need to check or have any problems later, please contact me. I’m willing to bear this responsibility.”

Bai Xiao did not answer him and left with Hu Ke.

Shu Xue looked at his back as he shouted Bai Xiao’s name.

The driver sent Hu Ke home, and Bai Xiao took a taxi to the company. The two of them separated just like that.

Hu Ke touched his lower abdomen with lingering fear.

She did not expect Shu Xue to be so crazy.

After returning home, Bian Fang welcomed her. On the way, Bai Xiao sent her a message, asking her to make more food to replenish her blood. He also hired a nutritionist to arrange food for Hu Ke every day and asked Bian Fang to record if Hu Ke had eaten well.

Hu Ke’s health was not important. What was important was to protect the child and make Grandpa happier.

Hu Ke had also heard what the doctor had said in the hospital. She forced herself to eat more and returned to her room.

Over the past few days, she had also done a summary of her assets. She had 7.5 million yuan in cash on hand. Wen Huai had given her 2.5 million yuan a few days ago. She said that Bai Xiao had specially applied for an annual card to meet the bartender. They would split the 5 million yuan each.

Hu Ke calculated in her heart and contacted Wen Huai to ask her to help see if there was a suitable house for her to move into. She would leave the Bai family after giving birth. It would only take a year. She had to leave a way out for herself as soon as possible.

After she was done, Hu Ke turned on her computer. She did not know where Bai Xiao had thrown the handwritten divorce agreement. She was prepared to write a new one and send it to Bai Xiao.

These days, the two of them had indeed less friction and conflict, but when Hu Ke thought of what Bai Xiao had said that night, she felt disappointed. She had to settle this matter as soon as possible to avoid being gossiped about.

She still had to think of a way to save some money. Her brother had received ten million yuan from the Bai family as a betrothal gift. When the time comes, the divorce might be repaid. Hu Lai definitely could not take it out. She had to be fully prepared in case the Bai family used this as a threat to make her do something else.

Hu Ke typed on the keyboard and wrote the agreement. Bai Xiao suddenly sneezed. The assistant beside him immediately turned up the temperature of the air conditioner and gave Bai Xiao a cup of hot water.

Bai Xiao rubbed his nose. He felt that someone was talking bad about him.

This was the first time that Hu Ke had been drained of so much blood. After resting at home for a few days, she finally recovered, so she started visiting 1943 again.

As soon as Wen Huai saw her, she showed her the house he had found. It was not considered the city center, but the surrounding transport was convenient. It was a small bungalow with a total of three floors and a garden and garage. The intermediary had offered seven million yuan, which was exactly the price that Hu Ke could accept.

Hu Ke nodded in agreement. Wen Huai helped her sign the contract tomorrow, and Hu Ke heaved a sigh of relief.

Bai Xiao finished his work for the day. As soon as he turned on his phone, he received a message from 1943.

[Hello, Mr. Bai. Fox is coming to the shop tonight. Do you need a private room prepared for you?]

Bai Xiao paused for a moment and asked the driver to drive to 1943. After replying, he did not forget to tell Bian Fang that he would not be going back tonight and asked her to take good care of Hu Ke’s food.

Soon, he received Bian Fang’s answer.

[Okay, Young Master, but Madam went out in the afternoon and hasn’t returned yet.]
