Xia Ling took the books and felt extremely grateful. “Thank god for you, Ah Kun. You are really thoughtful.”

Feng Kun smiled and turned up the volume. The melodious and soothing music flowed out of the speakers like water. It wasn’t a pop song but a classical violin and piano piece that was very suitable for prenatal education. His voice was very gentle. “You should rest well here. You don’t have to record songs as we aren’t rushing for time. The more important thing is to focus on taking care of your baby.”

Xia Ling smiled thankfully and leaned her body on the sofa as she flipped through the books.

The more she read them, the more nervous she became. “Oh no, the book said that I can’t use any medicine when I’m pregnant, but I was severely injured some time ago and don’t know how much medicine I used. Will it affect the baby?”

Her face was pale as she looked at Feng Kun worriedly.

Feng Kun was currently single and originally had no experience in this area. Luckily, a few days ago, in order to help her raise her baby, he did some research and learned a lot of relevant information. “I asked the old expert, and he said it doesn’t matter much if you took medication during the first two weeks of pregnancy. If you took medication after the first two weeks, it depends on what sort of medicine.”

“The child was probably created during the night before the accident.” Xia Ling said. “Most of the medicine I used was concentrated within the first two weeks. Does that mean that the impact won’t be big?”

After receiving Feng Kun’s confident expression, she was slightly relieved. However, she soon became nervous again. “However, during the third and fourth week, I was still hospitalized and was usually put on a drip, among others... Is that bad?”

“I will help you find out what sort of medicine you used at that time.” Feng Kun assured her. “After that, I will ask the doctor if it will affect your child. Once I get the news, I will inform you immediately, ok?”

There was no better way. Xia Ling held back the anxiety in her heart and thanked him.

She slowly touched her lower abdomen and spoke to herself. “Baby, you will be fine. Your father is so powerful and healthy, I’m sure that you’ll be very strong and unaffected by the medicine.”

“It will definitely be a strong baby.” Feng Kun held her hand to give her strength.

They rested in the office for an afternoon until Chu Chen knocked on the door to remind her that it was time to go home.

He said that Pei Ziheng was waiting at home to have dinner with her.

Xia Ling did not want to return to that oppressive cage but had no choice but to follow Chu Chen. Although Pei Ziheng was tolerant of her wilfulness, it did not include disobeying his wishes. The consequences of resisting were too serious, and even she did not want to test his limits.

Sure enough, when she reached home, there was red wine and a candlelight dinner prepared. A well-dressed Pei Ziheng was waiting for her.

With soft music playing, he sat on a sofa chair with soft cushions and cut the steak skillfully for her. “How was your day? Did you fight with Xia Yu?” He said in a low and hoarse voice.

Xia Ling lifted her head to look at him.

He was always well informed, and it was most likely Chu Chen who reported to him about what happened today. Xia Ling was not really surprised about that. What made her surprised was that he said “Xia Yu.”

“You used to call her Xiao Yu.” Xia Ling said.

This time, he looked at her with an unfathomable expression that made her heart skip a beat.

He slowly cut the steak and handed it to her. “Try it, it’s your favorite medium-well fillet.” After that, he addressed her statement. “In the past, I never cared about your relationship with your sister because you doted on her, and she seemed to treat you well. However, now I suspect that the truth is not like that, right?”

His last word was slightly nasal, and it sounded low and dangerous.

Xia Ling bit her lip. Did he have any clue that he was the reason why Xia Yu and she did not get along? Xia Yu secretly loved him, which was why she resented her. During the last year of her past life, she was humiliated and in a difficult position after Xia Yu viciously scorned and insulted her. However, it was in the past, and she did not want to be so calculative, because doing so would mean she had to rip open the wound that she had spent a long time recovering from.

“You didn’t believe that I didn’t kill Wang Jingwan, and she didn’t as well.” Xia Ling said faintly. “Thus, I hate her.”

Pei Ziheng’s gaze turned cold. The topic about him and his former fiancee was taboo. “It’s already come to this. Why are you still lying? All of the evidence points to you. You even admitted it before.”

Yes, she had personally admitted it in front of him that she had killed Wang Jingwan.

However, that was just her acting recklessly when she was emotional. [So what if I killed her?!] She was furious as she retorted. [Call the police! Send me back to the public safety department! Kill me to get revenge for your fiancee!]

In exchange, she received a tight slap.

Although she was in another life, she could still feel the dull pain. The wounds in her memory that were difficult to heal were ripped apart once again.

She shook her head as she did not want to say anything else. In the past, she wished for him to see the truth because she still loved him then and cared about him. However, now? Who he thought was the murderer was no longer important.

She already did not care about what he thought of her.

Xia Ling lifted her glass of red wine and lowered her head. Just before she took a sip of red wine, she suddenly thought about what she read in Feng Kun’s book — It’s best not to drink alcohol during your pregnancy.

She put down the glass and asked Nanny Zhou to hand her a glass of warm water.

On the other hand, Pei Ziheng also did not continue with this topic as he lowered his head to cut the steak. His method of cutting the steak was very sophisticated, calm, and elegant. On his silver plate, his favorite medium rare Sirloin steak which still had traces of blood was dismembered by him quietly into pieces.

As Xia Ling gazed at his movements, suddenly, she felt a little giddy.

Recently, her reaction to meat became more serious, and it was almost impossible to conceal. She uncomfortably held the table with her hand. Unexpectedly, she knocked over a tall goblet and the red wine in the cup spilled out with a “ping” sound.

Xia Ling looked helplessly at the red stain on the snow-white table.

Pei Ziheng got up, walked towards her, and moved her away from the mess. “Be careful, your clothes are dirty now.” His breath lingered beside her ear and made her shudder.

“Why are you so careless?” He said, “So clumsy.”

Xia Ling felt a little faint, and her body was soft in his arms. “I don’t know why I feel so uncomfortable looking at the blood... I’m a little dizzy.” She weakly said.

“Even blood from steak can make you dizzy.” Pei Ziheng laughed before smiling. “Why didn’t I see how vulnerable you were in the past?” He lightly kissed her long hair and hugged her.

Shocked, Xia Ling wanted to push him away.

However, his arms were like iron bars that restrained her. “Don’t move.”

Xia Ling did not dare to move. During this time, she discovered a terrifying fact, which was that her resistance made him more aroused and excited. On several occasions, he almost lost his ability to think logically and raped her. Xia Ling did not want to take this risk, especially now that she was pregnant. She did not want this baby which was hard to come by encounter any accident.

Thus, she only remained stiff in his arms and let him carry her to the bedroom.
