the lights were off, Li Bochen keenly sensed Luo Ningxi's suspicion. He explained, "I got up to use the restroom and heard crying coming from your room. I was worried something might be wrong with you...Luo Yi hesitated for a moment, looked up and exchanged glances with Jiang Jingya. It wasn't that they were reluctant to part with Luo Ningxi, it was just that the request came rather suddenly.

After the last investment, he was scared off by Lu Ningxi and wouldn't so easily trust others.

Jiang Jingya's eyes widened in alarm, mouthing, "What are you doing! You still want to protect that wretch at this time"

Mr. Ge immediately turned cold, "What You're unwilling You don't want to let go of your precious daughter"

"Nonsense, how could that be As long as Mr. Ge is willing to invest, I guarantee that I'll clean up Loningxi and bring her to your bed. You can do whatever you want with her!" Luo Yi immediately denied it.

"Alright, then it's settled. I'll transfer 20 million to your account first as a deposit. You have to make sure this thing goes smoothly for me!"

Hearing what Lu Yi said, Ge Zong finally smiled with satisfaction and after a few more pleasantries, he hung up the phone.

……

The moment he pressed the hang-up button, Ge Zong's aloof demeanor instantly vanished. He nodded and bowed to the man before him, "Chen Zong, you heard it all, right Luo Yi has agreed to give me Luo Ningxi. There shouldn't be any problems. You promised me the project…"

Chen Ming sat in the boss's chair, pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, "Rest assured, as long as this is done, you will get more, but you also have to keep your mouth shut, or you'll know the consequences."

The old man wants to make Si Shao give up on Luo Ningxi, and having Luo Ningxi cheat is the best way.

But if this gets out, the Fourth Master will know that the grandfather set up Luo Ningxi. He'll definitely drift away from the grandfather. On the surface, the best scapegoat would be Luo Yi!

"Rest assured the people above, even if I die, I will take this secret to the grave and never tell a soul!"

"It's good that you understand this. I will definitely approve your project." Chen Ming nodded, "From now on, you can communicate with Lu Yi. Contact me anytime if there's anything."

……

On the other side, Luo Yi and Jiang Jingya looked at the cash on their account, so excited that their hands trembled.

"This Luo Ningxi is such a little vixen, I didn't expect her to be so alluring even now." Jiang Jingya excitedly transferred some money into her own account. "Honey, we can finally live a good life!"

Luo Yi fell into thought, "But how can we get Luo Ningxi close to Ge Zong now She's surrounded by Li Bochen, the risks are too high."

"This..." Jiang Jingya bit her red lips and thought for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up. "That's right, we know that Luo Ningxi is already pregnant, don't we Why don't we use this to lure her out. If she's sensible, she'll give us the money to reopen the company. If she's not, we'll send her to Mr. Ge. Either way, we win!"

"You're the smartest one, so do it as you say!" Luo Yi smiled happily, reaching out to embrace Jiang Jingya, his other hand gently stroking her protruding belly. "I do all this for our son."

Jiang Jingya appeared eager on the surface, but secretly she had made up her mind.

After she became pregnant, besides the initial period when Lu Yi paid some attention, his heart has long since flown elsewhere. He now feigns concern and says things about their son.

……

Jin'an Apartments.

Lu Ningxi has been sticking close to Li Bochen these past few days, taking care of his every need, from food and clothing to shelter and the most basic wound dressing.

Li Bochen's back was cold and stern, the shallower wounds on his back had already scabbed over and healed, but the most serious one was still shocking to see!

"Everyone told you not to do strenuous exercise! Some wounds clearly pulled open again..."

Luo Ningxi was heartbroken. She carefully applied a medicated cotton ball to the wound while muttering softly to herself.

A strong stench of blood mixed with the bitter taste of medicine hit Luoningxi, almost making her gag!

"What's wrong, wife Are you feeling unwell" Li Bichen frowned as he suddenly noticed something amiss with Luo Ningxi. He turned his face to look at her.

Luo Ningxi instinctively avoided his gaze. The morning sickness these days wasn't as intense as before, so she hadn't let Li Bohen see through her.

Ke Li Bo Chen, however, did not let her go easily. He turned around, grasped her wrist, and stared straight into her eyes, "Stomach ache Or..."alk big, although he had a sliver of worry, he also arranged for someone to follow her. He presumed Luo Ningxi wouldn't suffer any losses, and the gloom between his brows dissipated slightly.One hour...
