"What!" Qiao Qiming almost punched him on the collar, "You can change it whenever you want, and let my daughter stay in the middle to do whatever you want. Now that she's pregnant, and you said you can't get pregnant, don't tell me you're going to the hospital to beat her up?"
Xiao Zhentian felt that he had gone too far, and said, "How about this, you guys go and do a paternity test to prove that the child in Qiao Ruoan's stomach really is ours, if that's the case, I'll agree to this marriage."
Qiao Qiming's vision turned black, "My family's An An, became pregnant first just because of a ridiculous idea of yours. Now you want to doubt the bloodline of your biological grandson, wouldn't it be a joke if word of this got out?"
"Other people's jokes are just that Qiao Ruoan doesn't know how to behave, he's just pregnant and wants to force a marriage!"
"You, you're slandering me!"
Qiao Ruoan and Xiao Ling saw that their two families' fathers were talking about it, so they leaned over, preparing to tell them directly that they wanted to get married. He didn't expect to hear such nonsense as soon as he got close.
Qiao Ruoan felt guilty, so he pulled Xiao Ling and said, "Dearest, look at the atmosphere between the two of them, why don't we not go over first?"
Xiao Ling felt that it was weird, why was Qiao Ruoan still acting like he had to ask something clearly just now, and that he could ask his about the reasonable decision now, but fortunately he had settled the matter at hand, and avoided a conflict within the family, "An An, it's really great that you can understand me like this."
Qiao Ruoan gently threw himself into Xiao Ling's embrace, but in his heart, he was thinking of a plan to slow down the fighting.
Maybe Xiao Zhentian was only doing this to make things difficult for Qiao Ruoan, so he could delay the marriage. He did not expect that this move would hit on Qiao Ruoan's weakness.
When Qiao Ruoan returned home at night, he requested for a meal as usual.
Xiao Ling found a rare moment of peace as he sat on the sofa and played with his phone.
Seeing that the group chat in the office was extremely lively, the people in the office went out to gather, but Xiao Ling, the boss, did not participate because he had something to do.
He looked up their previous chat logs.
"I knew it would be good to be here, but unfortunately boss isn't here today."
"Don't spout nonsense. The boss has a family and business, how can he be in cahoots with a bunch of single men like us?"
"This is not called being in cahoots with others. This is a need that every man has."
Xiao Ling was a little confused and did not quite understand what they were talking about. He then asked the group chat, "Where the hell did all of you go? You made me extremely curious, quickly tell me, or else you will run away tomorrow."
The group immediately began to have mercy on their boss.
"We went to the bar."
"I even called a few pretty girls over."
"Boss, you understand."
"Sister-in-law is pregnant now, boss must be choking enough!" Why don't we go some other day? "
"Sister-in-law should skin you alive if she finds out!"
Xiao Ling laughed lightly, "If I don't say it, wouldn't your skin be preserved?"
When everyone saw that their boss had agreed, they began to discuss the girls from before openly and openly. Which one had a good figure, which one could speak, and which one was beautiful? Seeing that, Xiao Ling's heart started to itch even more.
"It's time to eat, darling."
When Qiao Ruoyou came out carrying the dishes, she was watching Xiao Ling sitting on the sofa with a smile on his phone.
"What are you laughing at? "If you're so happy, let me take a look."
Xiao Ling waved his hand, "It's all my nonsense, it's fine if I don't see it, let's eat!"
"Hurry up and eat, I've cooked yellow crocodiles, haven't I not eaten for a long time!" Qiao Ruoan picked up a piece of fish and placed it into Xiao Ling's bowl.
Xiao Ling put the fish meat into his mouth, "It has indeed been quite a while since I last ate it, An An, don't you hate fish anymore?"
Qiao Ruoan nodded his head, "I don't hate it anymore. Even picking at food has a time limit. I've already picked for three months, I won't be picking anymore."
The two chatted and laughed, but in reality, they were both thinking about something.
After dinner, Xiao Ling sent a message to his subordinates, "Find a few pretty girls, I'll treat you guys to some fun tomorrow night."
"Boss is the best!"
It was one of Xiao Ling's ways to be friends with his subordinates, and a majority of people would submit to his brother out of habit, and if he wanted to use his power to win over people's hearts, that would be doing things for him instead. It would be better to just leave the battle and become friends with his subordinates, so that they would be willing to work under Xiao Ling.
Thinking about it, Xiao Ling became proud again, "Let's play together, now we have nothing to say. Taking her hand is a waste, no one will complain to Qiao Ruoan," Thinking about this, Xiao Ling stood up and said to Qiao Ruoan, "An An, I'm going on a business trip this week, you need to take care of yourself at home."
Qiao Ruoan was happy that Xiao Ling was not at home. If only Xiao Ling was at home, it would be more troublesome, if he listened to his father like that, he would definitely chase after him to request Qiao Ruoan to do the paternity test, "Work is my darling, I can't be selfish to the point of affecting your future because I want to stay with you. Rest assured, if I don't take care of myself, then I'll go back to my mother's house for a few days to prevent you from thinking about me."
"An An, I'm really too happy that you can think like this."
Even when he was in bed, it was just a dream.
In the morning, Xiao Ling went to work, but Qiao Ruoan also had to go out. She urgently needed to see her friends and find a method to hide it from the world.
The designated place was still a familiar bar. When Qiao Ruoan entered, he saw the friends in the booth they often sat in, waving at her, "An An, this way."
Qiao Ruoan had drawn a delicate makeup and wore the latest dress, to let his friends who he hadn't seen for a long time to envy her, "I'm here." After Qiao Ruoan sat down, he asked the waiter to serve orange juice.
"As expected of someone who wants to be a wife. They don't drink anymore."
Qiao Ruoan said, "Is it for the child's sake!?"
"Isn't the wedding date getting closer? You must notify us when the date is set!"
Qiao Ruoan pretended to be vexed, "Xiao Ling wanted to get married a long time ago, but his father had created a new problem, and wanted me to secretly make a paternity test."
"Did you tell Xiao Ling?"
"No," Qiao Ruoan took a sip of the orange juice, "If he knew that his father was bullying me like that, he would definitely fall out with my family. Right now, I'm really frustrated right now, how should I appraise this?"
"It's not easy," a friend said, patting his thigh. "You can just pinch a strand of hair off his pillow without letting him know and get a paternity test."
Qiao Ruoan realised, "That's right, why didn't I think of that before?"
Everyone raised their cups and insisted on toasting Qiao Ruoan. "To the future Mrs. Xiao."
Qiao Ruoan purposely raised his wine cup with his finger that was wearing a diamond ring.
"Eh? An An, why is your ring emitting blue light? "
Qiao Ruoan unnaturally retracted his hand, "Perhaps the lighting here is too good, I'll just have to go and take a look under the sunlight."
"That's right, I'm really confused, how can Shaw's give his future daughter-in-law a bad diamond ring!"
Qiao Ruoan laughed awkwardly, thinking, "Damned Xiao Family, you don't even give me the diamond ring, and you still want me to buy such a big one to make face for you, you should at least give the Xiao Family enough face, I'm really pissed."
"How many models are you talking about?"
Qiao Ruoan was overjoyed to have something to say, and immediately agreed, "Alright, quickly call for him, I'll treat you today."
It was still early, and there were only a few customers in the bar, but the male models that were called in had been replaced many times. However, Qiao Ruoan did not see the person that he was looking for.
"An An, who are you looking for?"
"Where's the person I called last time? It's called NEO. "
The person in charge of the bar said hurriedly, "We don't have anyone here named NEO. I'm afraid that it's not because the noble people of the Miss Jo forget everything and remember the wrong name?"
Qiao Ruoan said, "That's impossible, last time I clearly saw him, didn't you also see him!"
The friend beside him thought for a bit, "I remember why you said that. Last time, you pointed at him, and the last time you brought the Miss Ann over, who pointed at him?"
The other friends all shook their heads, saying that they didn't know.
Qiao Ruoan frowned, "I don't blame you guys, every time you guys get drunk, you can't even remember who's sitting next to. How can you remember all these?
The barman let out a long breath.
In truth, he had lied to Qiao Ruoan, the regular customer. The NEO was indeed one of them, and was exactly one that Qiao Ruoan would order often. Ever since the news of Qiao Ruoan's pregnancy had spread, everyone in the bar had been panicking. They had relied on their accumulated efforts to stabilize themselves in this bustling city, and if something huge happened, and they touched a bottom line that they shouldn't have touched, then the lighter's corpse would have died, and the worse, the entire bar would have been destroyed because of his mistakes.
At the end of the day, the NEO came running to them in a flurry, saying that a guest had asked him not to use a condom at night, and that he had been too drunk to stop them, but instead the next morning the guest was not angry, did not ask for compensation at the bar, and only asked him not to say anything.
This guest was Qiao Ruoan.
Now that she was pregnant, according to the days that followed, if it really was as they had feared, then there would be no way out.
Therefore, after the NEO left, the bar destroyed all of his previous written records, including the employment contract. Unless they met face to face again, even the bar owner would not be able to find him.
This was the only way to protect him and the bar.
Thinking about the Li Jian who had died miserably, before he was even involved in the battle of a large clan, and how miserable his fate was, the person in charge could only pray that there would not be a day when something like this happened, and this secret would rot away in the stomachs of every single person who knew about it.
An Ruyou took the silver needle and went to the hospital. Today, not only did she have to continue helping the Old Man He cure the poison, she also had to look at the nun nun. Although the blood clot had affected most of her blood vessels, causing her to lose some of her mobility and the ability to speak, with An Ruyou's power, perhaps she could completely recover.
"Auntie, don't be afraid of pain. This is to save you, we will definitely find the person who hurt you."
old nun's brown eyes were filled with tears. She could understand what she meant, but she did not want to show it.
An Ruyou started with the smallest details, using silver needles to stimulate the blood vessels in the surroundings, speeding up the circulation of blood, in order to reduce the degree of clogging of the main blood vessels. This step was extremely dangerous, the blood clot itself would cause the blood vessels to become thinner, if she was not careful, it would cause the blood vessels to rupture.
An Ruyou took into account every detail of the silver needles, and just using the needles alone had already taken two hours.
