Chapter 572: Chapter 572: Provoke Li Yehan

“Make a U-turn ahead, we’re not going to the base.”

The driver nearly continued straight but was so startled by Mei Tian Sha Zi’s command that he almost forgot how to drive.

Following Mei Tian Sha Zi’s order, the driver didn’t dare to ask why and obediently made the U-turn.

Saving his own skin!

Mei Tian Sha Zi couldn’t help but glance out the window, sensing something off.

The car that was just behind them had suddenly disappeared.

Soon after, a white car with an unfamiliar license plate appeared, making Mei Tian Sha Zi feel uneasy.

Uncertain if she was being followed, she decided it was better to stay vigilant and not let her guard down.

It seemed she wouldn’t make it to the base today.

…

Meanwhile, Hou Ze was driving and saw the car Mei Tian Sha Zi was in turn left, so he continued forward, calling his subordinates.

He couldn’t follow anymore.

Hou Ze messaged Nan Qiao but received no reply.

Frustrated, Hou Ze slapped the steering wheel and called Zheng Qinnian.

“Ah Nian, Mei Tian Sha Zi is too cunning. I couldn’t complete the task the boss gave me, it’s driving me nuts,” Hou Ze vented.

Zheng Qinnian had just left the lab, removed his gold-rimmed glasses, and rubbed the corners of his eyes.

“Don’t worry, Qiaoqiao won’t blame you,” he said confidently, knowing Nan Qiao well.

“The boss won’t blame me, but I blame myself for being so stupid, for messing things up,” Hou Ze lamented.

Zheng Qinnian comforted him, saying, “Mei Tian Sha Zi must’ve noticed you, she won’t be going to the destination. Tell the tailing guys to retreat, there’s no need to follow anymore.”

“I’ve already given the instructions, but I’ve noted down the route. I’ll review and organize it later,” Hou Ze said, then asked, “Ah Nian, about Nan Shan’s illness, do you have any solutions?”

Thinking of Nan Shan, who had impressive combat power and relied heavily on Nan Qiao, Zheng Qinnian was at a loss.

“Qiaoqiao can’t do anything, neither can I,” Zheng Qinnian admitted honestly.

Hou Ze hung up the phone helplessly.

Zheng Qinnian sat down. Outside the brightly lit living room stood a shadowy figure.

Startled, Zheng Qinnian felt that seeing such a shadow late at night could really scare someone to death.

It was truly terrifying.

Zheng Qinnian took out his phone and activated the program to enhance the house’s defensive features.

He had anticipated that working with Nan Qiao would lead to being hunted down.

So when he bought this villa, he designed and renovated it himself, with materials and designs contributed by Nan Qiao.

As a result, the shadow could approach but had no way of breaking in.

Zheng Qinnian reached under the sofa and when he pulled his hand back, he was holding a gun.

Zheng Qinnian paced towards the glass, holding his breath, being very cautious.

“Who are you?” Zheng Qinnian shouted into his phone; thanks to the intercom, the person outside could hear him.

The person outside didn’t speak, as if unable to hear Zheng Qinnian’s voice.

Zheng Qinnian shouted again: “If you won’t leave, I’m calling the police.”

Even after shouting again, the person outside remained silent.

Zheng Qinnian lost patience and didn’t want to continue speaking to the person.

He took out his phone intending to call the police, but through the glass, he saw the person’s face.

“Why is it you…” Zheng Qinnian was astonished.

…

At five in the morning, Chen Xinwan woke up.

Chen Xinwan walked into the kitchen where Liu Feng was already making soup.

Seeing Chen Xinwan enter the kitchen, Liu Feng beamed, “Ma’am, you’re up early. Rest a little more; I’ll call you when breakfast is ready.”

Chen Xinwan responded, “I need to bring breakfast to Qiaoqiao, so I got up early to make millet porridge for my darling Qiaoqiao.”

As she spoke, Chen Xinwan started preparing breakfast.

Liu Feng watched Chen Xinwan’s actions with great joy.

Biological parents are different; they genuinely cherish the young miss.

Liu Feng felt at ease and no longer apprehensive.

Such days were truly wonderful.

…

Nan Qiao looked in the mirror at the hickeys on her neck.

Nan Qiao: “…”

“Li Yehan, are you some kind of dog? Look at my neck. How am I supposed to face people when my mom comes to bring food?”

Nan Qiao picked up concealer to apply on her neck, but before it could touch her skin, Li Yehan arrived with a turtleneck sweater.

“Wear this, it’ll cover everything.”

Nan Qiao: “…”

So well-prepared, his intentions were too obvious.

“Li Yehan, you’re something else,” Nan Qiao said, grabbing the sweater and heading into the bathroom, locking the door.

Li Yehan stood outside the door, smiling, “Qiaoqiao, do we really need to lock the door between us? There’s nowhere on you that I haven’t seen.”

Nan Qiao: “Li Yehan, just shut up!”

How embarrassing.

Upon hearing the door open, Li Yehan turned to see Chen Xinwan and Liu Feng standing at the door.

Li Yehan: “…”

He wanted to just disappear.

The high and mighty CEO, at this moment, wished to live somewhere else for a while.

Li Yehan remained composed, with an expression as light as a dragonfly skimming the water.

“Mom, Aunt Feng, you’re here.”

Chen Xinwan awkwardly wanted to scratch her head.

Liu Feng looked around nervously; when flustered, she was quite busy.

Unable to move, her eyes darted around.

Li Yehan felt even more awkward.

Nan Qiao, inside, also heard the dry conversation of the three.

It was so dry, like eating a dry toast from abroad, too hard.

Nan Qiao even suspected that Chen Xinwan and Liu Feng wanted to provoke Li Yehan.

Despite the awkwardness, Nan Qiao walked out of the bathroom.

She had changed into the turtleneck sweater, effectively covering the hickeys, leaving nothing visible.

“Mom, Aunt Feng, you’re here,” Nan Qiao smiled, her moist eyes exceptionally bright.

Liu Feng quickly took out breakfast and placed it on the table.

Chen Xinwan called Nan Qiao over to eat.

Li Yehan also sat down to eat with Nan Qiao.

Chen Xinwan chose not to eat and instead joined the three for breakfast.

Unable to stay idle, Liu Feng washed the clothes Nan Qiao had changed out of.

Chen Xinwan asked, “Yehan, if you’re busy at work, go ahead. I’ll stay with Qiaoqiao. She’s a pregnant woman now and needs to rest.”

Li Yehan’s hand holding the chopsticks trembled, understanding clearly what Chen Xinwan implied.

She meant he shouldn’t be… with Qiaoqiao.

Li Yehan awkwardly wanted to return to work.

Putting down his chopsticks, Li Yehan said calmly, “Mom, thank you for your hard work. I do have an early meeting; I’ll head out first.”

That meal was quite stressful.

Li Yehan left.

Nan Qiao almost burst into laughter, “Mom, what you said made me embarrassed.”

Chen Xinwan lovingly said, “Darling Qiaoqiao, you should keep in mind what Mom says. You can’t let Yehan act on whims. Sometimes men can’t control themselves; as women, we should learn to help them stay in control. If it doesn’t work, have him take a cold shower.”

Nan Qiao blushed.

She hadn’t talked to anyone about such matters before.

Seeing Nan Qiao’s shyness, Chen Xinwan continued, “You’re carrying a child now; you should prioritize your child and yourself. Although you’re strong and past the danger period, you still need to be careful.”

Nan Qiao softly agreed.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

The doctor wouldn’t be coming, so who could it be?
