f business elites.They probably came from headquarters. High-ranking officials and secretaries."Come in."Lu Hanchuan looked around, his eyes narrowed, giving nothing away.He replied in a flat tone, st...Shi Mo stared at Fu Xiaoyao's weak face for a while, closed the car door, "Let's go now."

"Yes!" the assistant replied, instructing the driver to start the car.

Several hours later, Fu Xiaoyao woke up with a splitting headache. She opened her eyes to find herself in a strange room.

She coughed a few times, her voice raspy like she had swallowed wood. "Where is this"

"Awake" a gentle male voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

Is anyone there

Fu Xiaoyao suddenly turned her head and saw Shi Mo standing by the bed. The alertness in her eyes gradually dissipated, and the heart that had been pounding returned to its normal rhythm. "It's you..."

She still thought it was some bad guy.

It's understandable why she would think that way; she was really scared after being kidnapped.

"It was me." Shi Mo poured a cup of warm water. "Would you like some"

He asked gently.

Fu Xiaoyao nodded and strained to sit up.

But just as she started to get up, her arm felt too weak, and her body fell back onto the bed, causing her to feel dizzy and nauseous.

Shi Mo saw that her face was pale, looking like she was about to vomit. He immediately put down his water cup, pulled the trash can over, and helped her up, letting her lean against the bed and vomit.

But Fu Xiaoyao retched for a long time, but didn't spit out anything. She only spat out a few mouthfuls of sour water.

"Are you feeling better" Sensing that Fu Xiaoyao's vomiting had gradually subsided, Shi Mo gently patted her back and asked.

Fu Xiaoyao leaned against his chest, her whole body trembling like a wisp of smoke, as if she could faint at any moment. Her weakness was heart-wrenching.

"Much better, thank you, Mr. Shi." After a moment, Fu Xiaoyao emerged from Shi Mo's embrace, her voice weak in response.

Shi Mo reached over and picked up the water glass he had just set down. “Have some water, rinse your mouth.”

"Mmm." Fu Xiaoyao nodded, taking the cup of water in both hands and sipping it slowly.

The warm water went down her throat, not only dispelling the chill from her body but also easing the nausea that lingered in her chest. Her pale, bluish face improved slightly, at least looking less frightening.

After finishing her water, Fu Xiaoyao wanted to put the cup down, but Shi Mo took it halfway, "I'll do it."

Saying that, he placed the cup on the bedside table and then helped her lie down on the bed. He instructed, "Alright, don't move around, you need to rest well now."

His meticulous care made Fu Xiaoyao feel a little embarrassed, and her heart was filled with gratitude.

"Mr. Shi, thank you so much," she said again.

Shi Mo lightly smiled, "You have thanked me twice already."

"Twice isn't enough, you didn't just take care of me, most importantly, you saved me. I don't even know how to repay you." Fu Xiaoyao's eyes welled up.

Shi Mo took out a tissue and wiped her tears, "It's okay, don't cry, you're pregnant."

Child

As soon as she thought of something, Fu Xiaoyao's expression suddenly became flustered. She hurriedly reached for her stomach.

Shi Mo saw what she was worried about and said, "Don't worry, the child is fine. Because they received medical treatment in time, the child is safe!"

"Really" Fu Xiaoyao looked at him nervously.

Shi Mo nodded slightly, "Really!"

"That's good, that's good..." Fu Xiaoyao broke into a smile, and her whole heart relaxed.

Then, she composed herself and asked, "By the way, Mr. Shi, how did you find me and save me"

Shi Mo pulled over a chair and sat down, “I went to the hospital to say goodbye to you. The nurse told me you were kidnapped, so I had someone investigate. It took a long time to find out where you were, but when I got there, it was just ruins. My subordinate Xia Jie found you on the rocks by the lake.”

"So that's how it is..." Fu Xiaoyao lowered her eyelids.

Shi Mo looked at her, "As for you, how did you faint on the rocks"

“To escape the fire, I jumped into that lake, but the water was too strong and I couldn't swim. It swept me away.” Said Fu Xiaoyao.

Shi Mo listened and furrowed his brow, "Then you're really lucky. The lake water threw you to the shore downstream, didn't take you all the way away. Otherwise, you now..."

He didn't say anything more after that.

Fu Xiaoyao's lips twitched into a wry smile. "That's right, I was lucky. Otherwise, I wouldn't have waited for Hanchuan to save me. I would have died at Tangshan's hands long ago. Unfortunately, even with good luck, it can't withstand the fickleness of human hearts."

"What on earth happened" Shi Mo was very curious about what had actually occurred. "Why did President Lu rush over to save you, but you ended up staying there in the end And what about the fire Why did Dr. Shao say you might have been burned to death"

All of this, it's just unbelievable.

"Doctor Shao" Fu Xiaoyao's pale face flashed with surprise, "Si Nian also knows what happened to me"

"Yes, when I saved you, Shao Sian was also there. He said you might not have made it and he was very sad." Shi Mo replied.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled faintly, "So you didn't tell him I'm still alive"

"No." Shi Mo shook his head.

"Oh, I see." Fu Xiaoyao blinked, indicating that she understood.

She didn't ask him why he hadn't told Shao Sian that she was still alive.

After all, this was his decision. Even as the person involved, she couldn't interfere.

Moreover, he also saved her.

"Now, can you tell me what happened next" Shi Mo asked again, steering the conversation back on track.

Fu Xiaoyao closed her eyes, "As you know, I was kidnapped by the Tangshan people and used as leverage against Hanchuan. In the end, Hanchuan came to save me, but just as we were about to leave, his men discovered a bomb that had already detonated..."

"A bomb" Shi Mo's face changed slightly, he hadn't expected things to be so dangerous.

"And then" he asked again.

Fu Xiaoyao opened her eyes, her gaze filled with a terrifying hatred. Even her voice had turned cold and chilling.

Then after the explosion, the ensuing fire swept over us. Kanchuan was escorted onto the lead car by his bodyguards, while Qi Ya and I were in the last car. Because we were at the back, our car naturally left last. But as we were leaving, Qi Ya pushed me out of the car.

"How could this be" Shi Mo was so surprised that he couldn't maintain the gentle expression on his face.

Fu Xiaoyao dug her nails deep into her palm, "The fact is just that. After I was pushed down, the car immediately drove away. There was a fire coming towards me from behind, and I had no choice but to jump into the lake. Fortunately, there was a lake there, otherwise I would have been burned alive."

"What are you going to do now" Shi Mo looked at her. "Are you going to contact President Lu and tell him you're here with me"

Fu Xiaoyao suppressed the hatred in her eyes, thought for a moment, and shook her head slightly. "I won't tell him for now. I want to know if he can figure out the truth about me not being in the car. If he can't, I'll appear in front of him again and tell him the truth."

Since Qi Ya dared to push her off the car so decisively, she must have already found a reason to deceive Hanchuan.

The biggest reason might be Fu Zixuan.

She really wanted to know if Kankawa would believe Qi Ya's lies.

"What if he figures it out quickly" Shi Mo said.

Fu Xiaoyao smiled, "That's certainly the best."

This shows that Hanchuan doesn't trust Qi Ya, who has already been seen through by him.

"Alright, since this is your decision, I respect you. You can just stay here and recuperate while you're bedridden these days." Shi Mo tucked the blanket in for her.

Fu Xiaoyao hummed in response, obediently agreeing. However, the next second, her expression became hesitant again.

Shi Mo smiled softly, "You want to ask about Lu Zong's news"de.The cook was Fu Xiaoyao!Fu Xiaoyao, wearing an apron, was bustling around the stove, her kitchen knife chopping incessantly with a clatter.She lowered her head slightly, revealing her graceful swan...
