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 .
