Returning to the living room, Xia Wan's chest rose and fell, and her face was ashen.

The picture book from before and the recently discovered rag doll with a broken head all seemed to be trying to make her fall into an anxious and restless state of panic.

Who in the world was behind all this crap to scare her? Xia Wan thought about it, but she did not have a clue.

With his chest beginning to feel stuffy and even her breathing became rough, Xia Wan once again stepped out of the house, wanting to take a breather to calm herself down.

As she stroked her belly, she told herself silently: Don't get angry. You're a person who is carrying a baby right now. You have to be calm.

However, even if he said that, no one would be able to have a peaceful state of mind when faced with such a terrible situation.

Xia Wan unconsciously walked forward. When she turned her head, she realized that she had already walked out of the courtyard.

The walls of the old house were not painted, they were mottled and old, giving off a dark feeling. Xia Wan felt a little uncomfortable looking at them, since the cloth doll had just left a shadow in her heart.

Just as he was about to go back, Xia Wan's eyes flashed, and she subconsciously covered her mouth, not letting out a scream.

Sweat trickled down her forehead as she cast a sidelong glance at the wall which had an inexplicable amount of pale red spray paint. She couldn't help but to look around in all directions.

"Just who is so bored!?" "Damn it!"

Feeling that he was being targeted by someone who had gone crazy, Xia Wan couldn't help but curse in her heart.

The paint on the wall was not anything special. It simply outlined the image of a child, and next to it the word "die" was written.

Clenching her lips tightly, Xia Wan's fear grew deeper and deeper. All of this seemed to indicate that someone was cursing her, no! To be exact, it was cursing the child in her womb.

With Xia Wan's rough personality, she was obviously not afraid that someone would have any ill intentions towards her, but for the other party to do such a thing right under her nose, it showed that her living environment was not safe. What's more, she didn't even know who the culprit was.

Furthermore, Xia Wan was currently pregnant, and was not as reckless as before. She was the only one guarding the huge mansion, if someone really wanted to harm her …

Shaking his head, Xia Wan did not dare make any more speculations.

She rushed into the house, locked the door, and sat down on the sofa with her arms around her.

Half an hour later, her hands and feet gradually warmed up, and the fear in her heart was somewhat dispelled.

"Perhaps I'm too sensitive, or maybe it's just some devilish brat playing nearby, purposely playing a prank …"

Xia Wan consoled herself with her own words, but she couldn't help but pick up her phone to call her family.

"Little Wan, how have you been recently?"

Xia Wan did not bother with pleasantries, she only asked: "Grandma, about my pregnancy, does Xia Xue know?"

was the only one who felt that he was the only one who hated her so much, or who was bored to the point of scaring her so much.

"I don't know, Xiao Xue was too jealous. I didn't tell her."

Hearing this, Xia Wan heaved a long sigh of relief: The other party was not Xia Xue.

But at the same time, she was even more unfathomable. Other than Xia Xue, who else hated her so much?

"Little Wan, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Grandma, you take care of your body. I'll hang up first."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Wan gathered the courage to retrieve the cloth doll, and then went to the dustbin to look for the picture book that she had thrown away a few days ago.

Putting these two incriminating evidence in a conspicuous place, she was no longer going to hide the fact that she was being threatened.

But if something were to happen to her child, she would definitely not forgive herself, so she needed Tang Shaofeng's protection. She needed her husband's protection.

Waiting, waiting, it was almost ten in the evening, yet Tang Shaofeng was still nowhere to be seen at the door.

As the night grew darker, Xia Wan suddenly felt a chill on her back. She then moved to the bedroom upstairs and hugged her blanket as she waited for Tang Shaofeng …

At ten-thirty, Tang Shaofeng was at a party. Of course, he did not come on his own accord, but rather, was accompanied by Ye Fu's threat.

Perhaps because the chips in his hands were growing larger, Ye Fu was even more unscrupulous as she commanded Tang Shaofeng.

Therefore, the reason why Tang Shaofeng still hadn't returned home at this late hour was because he wanted to be Ye Fu's male companion to attend this private party.

Seeing that Tang Shaofeng's face was filled with impatience, and that his eyes were looking at the watch in his hand, Ye Fu smiled gently, and extended her slender arm as if she knew what he was doing, "Shall I dance?"

"Not interested." Giving Ye Fu a cold glance, Tang Shaofeng still appeared to be out of place.

Actually, this private party had gathered all sorts of famous people. Tang Shaofeng could definitely take this opportunity to open up a network and rope in more connections.

But when he thought about how Xia Wan was still waiting for him at home, let alone putting on an act on the spot, even just standing like that made him feel like he was sitting on needles.

"Are you sure you want to reject me? This party is scheduled for tomorrow morning. "How about this, if you ask me to dance, I'll let you go." Ye Fu who was in the middle of a business negotiation had a charming smile as he bargained with the other party.

Enough with the feeling of being threatened and forced, Tang Shaofeng had to endure it. What could he do? Escape?

Now, the responsibility on his shoulders became even heavier. Not only Xia Wan, but also their baby, could he retreat, could he not.

Thus, with a look of disgust, Tang Shaofeng made a gesture to invite him in. However, Ye Fu didn't mind at all. Instead, she danced along with Tang Shaofeng in a good mood.

Maybe it was because he had a peerless beauty like Ye Fu accompanying him, but Tang Shaofeng still had a face of disdain. He had been busy communicating with his and had not contacted his for a long time, but finally discovered the existence of his good brother.

Seeing that Tang Shaofeng was also there, Xiao Muting was the first to be a bit shy.

Although he had confessed everything that he had done, Tang Shaofeng was still brooding over it, and did not know how to face the other party.

However, when he discovered that Tang Shaofeng's companion was not Xia Wan, but the two of them interacting with each other intimately, the color of his eyes became extremely dark and gloomy.

He could not understand how Tang Shaofeng, with his obvious disgust, was still trying to please the daughter of the Ye Family who was still in the midst of burning with anger. Xiao Muting's face was filled with bewilderment.

However, in the end, he didn't go up to greet him. Instead, he buried a question in his heart.

At eleven o'clock sharp, Tang Shaofeng was finally free.

But just as he was moving forward like lightning, Xia Wan experienced an unprecedented panic.

It turned out that Xia Wan, who had been silently waiting for Tang Shaofeng, wasn't sleepy. He picked up a parenting book and absent-mindedly looked at it.

The surroundings were very quiet. Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound from downstairs.

Immediately after, Xia Wan stood up, her face was anxious, she knew that the person who was playing tricks on her was here again.

She tiptoed to the laundry room and picked up a good clothes pole, deciding to investigate what happened next.

With a weapon in hand, Xia Wan became even more courageous. She gently walked down the stairs, but discovered that the living room's door was still tightly shut, and had not been opened.

Xia Wan took a deep breath. The center of her hand was covered with sweat, but she could not be terrified. Even if it was for the child's safety, she had to find out who this person who had been terrorizing her was.

Following the creaking sound of the door handle turning, Xia Wan's heart was raised to her throat, but the moment she stepped out of the room, she was immediately scared pale by a mournful wail.

That voice wasn't too far away, it lingered around Xia Wan and was extremely ear-piercing.

Xia Wan did not dare to leave. She hurried back to her room and firmly locked the door.

But the crying sound did not leave, it became more and more arrogant, as though it was deliberately tormenting Xia Wan's mental fortitude.

Xia Wan was frightened. She covered her ears with all her might and tears were already flowing out of her eyes.

Who in the world was so arrogant as to come to her restaurant in the middle of the night and cry?

Just as he was thinking, Xia Wan tried her best to calm her mind, she heard a long string of sharp laughter coming from outside the house.

The laughter grew more and more eerie, then more and more bitter, then more and more weeping.

Xia Wan had collapsed. She threw down the bamboo pole, staring at the door with her clear eyes, not daring to move.

Outside, it was unknown if it was a human or a ghost who was crying. She was crying very arrogantly, even Xia Wan was crying, but she did not dare make a sound.

She was afraid that the maniac outside would hear her and rush in like a madman.

Suddenly, the door was turned, Xia Wan's eyes were filled with fear, she covered her mouth with her hands, and retreated step by step.

When Tang Shaofeng's figure appeared, the sense of security that Xia Wan had not felt in a long time returned.

She cried out loud, crying her heart out like a child, as she mumbled unclearly: "Tang Shaofeng …. "I'm so scared, so scared …"

Tang Shaofeng was completely confused. When he stopped the car, he had also heard some weird noises, and thought that Xia Wan was watching TV too loudly.

But when he saw that Xia Wan was wrong, he immediately became alert.

He looked around with hostility, seeing that Xia Wan was no longer able to stand, he immediately went forward and picked her up.

Tang Shaofeng looked at the little person whose face was covered in tears, as though he was scared out of his wits, Tang Shaofeng hated himself for being useless and hated himself for being threatened by Ye Fu.

"Not afraid, not afraid! I'm here! " Tang Shaofeng looked apologetic and spoke gently, while covering his ears for Xia Wan.

Slowly, Xia Wan calmed down. She looked at Tang Shaofeng with her teary eyes, and could not help but choke back, "Why did you just return? I've been waiting for you all day. "

Tang Shaofeng's heart clenched tightly, and he unconsciously hugged Xia Wan even more tightly, and the regret in the depths of his eyes grew even more intense.

"Are you still afraid?"

Xia Wan shook her head, after calming herself down, she realised that the weird sound had disappeared, could it be that the crazy woman outside saw Tang Shaofeng coming back and was scared away?

Clutching Tang Shaofeng's neck tightly, Xia Wan did not dare to let go for a moment, "Did you hear the voice just now?"

Tang Shaofeng nodded his head heavily, then said with cold eyes, "Stay here for a while, I'll go out and see what kind of bastard took the heart of a bear leopard's gall bladder!"

If he dared to come here in the middle of the night to scare his woman, she probably didn't want to live anymore.

The spirited Tang Shaofeng was about to let go, but instead, he panicked and cried.

"I'll go with you. Don't leave me here alone!" Tears rolled down Xia Wan's face. She had truly been scared silly just now.

Tang Shaofeng silently hugged Xia Wan, and then hugged his own wife as he went out to investigate.

After a while, he found the source of the sound — some damned person had put a tape recorder on the grass in the yard, and the electricity ran out.
