Chapter 1757: It’s Not Hard on Me
Yun Bixue’s brows furrowed. She wasn’t quite used to Wang Qianjin speaking to her like this.
He was so unlike before, which was very weird and odd.
“Wang Qianjin, what’s the matter with you?” Why the huge transformation? She really wasn’t used to this. As long as something was suspicious, there must be a problem somewhere.
But she recalled Grandfather’s words, and it made her unable to guess at whim.
Wang Qianjin chuckled, his bewitching eyes appearing more gentle. “Nothing’s the matter. Treat yourself well. If Xie Limo treats you poorly, I’ll be the first to come after him.”
Yun Bixue felt things were getting odder and odder. How did it come to him not letting Xie Limo off if he treats her poorly? What is all this about?
No matter how calm and rational Yun Bixue was, she couldn’t make sense of the situation.
“Wang Qianjin, don’t play tricks.”
Wang Qianjin continued calmly, “Don’t worry. I’ve never actually harmed you, have I? Ask yourself, don’t you also believe that I wouldn’t harm you?”
“Cut the nonsense.”
“Okay, then let’s leave it at that for now. I can talk to Xie Limo regarding other matters.”
After hanging up the phone, Yun Bixue sat there, stunned. Her expression was cold, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists.
If not for the fact she was pregnant now, she might have run to the South with the Yun family’s men of sacrifice and personally look for Grandfather.
But she had too many qualms now, and couldn’t act rashly.
Too many things had happened today, so Yun Bixue’s head was in a mess.
Later that night, when Xie Limo got back from work, Yun Bixue told him what had happened during the day.
When she mentioned the second elder of the Xie family, Xie Limo suddenly stood up. He gripped Yun Bixue’s shoulders with both hands and stared at her carefully, an intense worry in his eyes.
“You cried today?” Xie Limo then wiped away the tears at the corners of Yun Bixue’s eyes.
Yun Bixue shook her head. “No, I didn’t cry. It’s just that sand had gotten into my eyes.” She didn’t want Xie Limo to worry. She had clearly wiped away her tears, so how did he still notice?
The instant Xie Limo thought of how it was because of the second elder of the Xie family, he gave off a dark aura, and a cold and murderous look glistened in his eyes.
Yun Bixue could sense the change in Xie Limo’s emotions. She pulled his hand and said, “Limo, it’s fine. It has nothing to do with the second elder. Let me continue…”
Yun Bixue then told Xie Limo about what happened to the second elder in order for him to relax.
But after she finished speaking, the dark aura from Xie Limo didn’t dissipate. It even made him feel colder.
Xie Limo took a deep look at Yun Bixue, revealing a self-reproaching look in his eyes. “Ah Xue, it’s been hard on you.”
“I’m okay. It’s not hard on me.”
“Ah Xue, I want you to go out as little as possible in the next few days. I’m worried. Since the second elder can come here, he came here with an intention to test. The elders at the headquarters don’t know of your pregnancy yet.”
Yun Bixue’s heart skipped a beat. “Limo, I know. You didn’t tell them because you’re afraid there will be danger. But now that the second elder found out, is there a problem with it?”
A dark glint flickered in Xie Limo’s eyes for a fleeting moment, such that no one noticed.
He held Yun Bixue’s hand reassuringly and said, “Ah Xue, there won’t be a problem. No one will be able to harm you.”
Xie Limo sounded very resolute, making Yun Bixue feel he was about to do something.
She cautioned in a worried manner, “Limo, don’t do something rash, okay?”
