The sky gradually darkened, Yang Cheng finally ended the battle, while Yang Rou was already exhausted to the point of fainting.
Beside them, Kong Lingwen’s cheeks flushed, her brows and eyes filled with spring, clearly affected by the scene just now.
She pretended to be calm as she stood up, walked to the bedside, and gently stroked Yang Rou’s flat belly, as if fantasizing that Yang Rou had a baby inside.
Seeing this, Yang Cheng could only apologize silently. He and Yang Rou made careful arrangents last night; it was impossible to leave any seeds.
Kong Lingwen’s hope was bound to be dashed!
"Let her sleep well, let’s go outside and talk."
Kong Lingwen said this, and was the first to walk out of the bedroom, while Yang Cheng dressed and followed out.
In the living room, Ling Er sat on the sofa with flushed cheeks, a sweet feminine fragrance lingering in the air.
Kong Lingwen had no experience with such matters between n and won, but Yang Cheng’s nose twitched; he knew what Ling Er had done on the sofa and gave her a aningful smile.
"Yang Cheng, I want to talk to you."
Kong Lingwen pointed to the sofa, signaling him to sit down.
Both of them looked a bit embarrassed; after all, they had just caught soone in the act, watched the scene unfold, and Kong Lingwen was unprecedentedly moved.
Yang Cheng didn’t expose Kong Lingwen’s identity as a woman. He was worried Kong Lingwen might harm Yang Rou, especially since he had cooperated with Chu Xiaoyu to open a factory.
The main reason is that she’s from the Zhonghai Kong Family. Yang Cheng wasn’t afraid of the Zhonghai Kong Family’s power, but years ago, the Kong Family acquired his father’s company, leaving him feeling there was so hidden agenda behind it.
Befriending Kong Lingwen was just a step in his plan, which might prove useful in the future.
"Yang Cheng, from now on, co by the house every two days. Try to get Yang Rou pregnant soon, as I’m running out of ti."
Kong Lingwen sighed.
"What do you an?"
Yang Cheng was sowhat puzzled.
"Simply put, my marriage to Yang Rou was arranged secretly from the family; they’ve already received news and should quickly co to Peach Blossom to stop all this."
"If Yang Rou could get pregnant before this happens, at least I have so leverage to negotiate with the family."
After Kong Lingwen finished speaking, Yang Cheng beca even more confused.
She’s obviously a woman, others don’t know, but the family mbers surely do. Even if Yang Rou gets pregnant, it absolutely couldn’t be the Kong Family’s child!
Yang Cheng didn’t voice his doubts, but his expression gradually beca serious.
"General Manager Kong, whatever the conflicts between you and your family are, Yang Rou must not be in danger, otherwise I’ll take her away imdiately!"
"Rest assured, since I’ve married her, I’ll do my utmost to protect her."
Kong Lingwen imdiately promised.
Yang Cheng felt uneasy and said, "Let Ling Er protect Yang Rou closely, and try not to let her go out these days. I’m worried soone might harm her."
He couldn’t gamble with Yang Rou’s life. The larger the family, the harsher the ans they employ. The Zhonghai Kong Family has many ways to eliminate Yang Rou.
"Alright, we’ll do as you say."
Kong Lingwen readily agreed.
"Ring ring ring!"
At this mont, Yang Cheng’s phone rang urgently. Upon answering, Ye Ling’Er’s painful voice imdiately ca through, "Yang Cheng, my... my stomach hurts badly. It might be a problem with the Elixir Embryo; please... hurry and co."
"Where are you? What exactly happened?"
Yang Cheng’s eyebrows furrowed. Although the Elixir Embryo was initially fragile when ford, he had infused it with True Qi within her body. Over ti, the Embryo should beco stronger, making it impossible for problems to occur.
"Ugh~ it hurts so much, I feel like I’m about to die."
Ye Ling’Er groaned painfully, already powerless to answer Yang Cheng’s words.
At this point, Ye Xixue took the phone and quickly said, "Yang Cheng, hurry to Jiulong Mountain Villa! Today, Lin Er’s stomach suddenly started hurting, and blood is flowing from her lower body. Initially, I thought it was just nstrual cramps, but she’s in extre pain with blood-red lines appearing on her lower abdon."
Hearing Ye Xixue’s words, Yang Cheng’s heart sank. These are clearly symptoms of the Elixir Embryo dissipating. If the blood-red lines spread across the abdon, not only would the Spiritual Essence Pill fail to condense, but Ye Ling’Er’s life would also be in danger.
Moreover, refining dicine using the human body as a Pill Furnace is inherently difficult to succeed, taking considerable ti.
If this Elixir Embryo disintegrates, there won’t be ti to create another Spiritual Essence Pill.
"Hang on, I’m coming imdiately."
Yang Cheng hung up the phone and rushed to the door.
"I have an urgent matter, my apologies for leaving."
He left these words and dashed out.
At this mont, a Land Rover sped along the road, rushing to Jiulong Mountain Villa at the fastest speed.
Ye Xixue had already inford the attendants, allowing Yang Cheng’s vehicle to enter the Villa smoothly.
A man in a suit stood at the entrance waiting for Yang Cheng. As soon as Yang Cheng got out of the car, the man guided him quickly towards the main building.
Yang Cheng had just gone upstairs when he heard Ye Ling’Er’s painful moans, and in a flash, he dashed into her bedroom.
"Mom, am... am I about to die? I’m sorry, I failed to refine the Spiritual Essence Pill."
Ye Ling’Er, with tearful eyes, looked at Ye Xixue full of guilt.
"Silly child, it’s all my fault. If it weren’t for , you wouldn’t have to endure this pain."
Ye Xixue choked, holding Ye Ling’Er tight.
As the mistress of Jiulong Mountain Villa, Ye Xixue was always cold-hearted and decisive, never letting anyone see her weakness, but now, tears stread from her eyes.
"Lin Er, I’m here."
Yang Cheng appeared by the mother and daughter like the wind in an instant.
The mont she saw him, Ye Ling’Er seed to grasp onto a lifeline, her beautiful eyes instantly brightening.
"Yang Cheng, you’re finally here; I’m about to die from the pain."
"Don’t be afraid; with here, I won’t let anything happen to you."
Yang Cheng gently stroked her cheek, lifted her nightgown, and sure enough, several blood-red lines appeared on her abdon, making her creamy skin appear even paler.
He had no ti to admire her delicate body, secretly activating the Dragon and Phoenix Dance Scripture, gathering pale yellow True Qi in his palm, and imdiately placing it on her flat abdon.
"Ugh~"
Ye Ling’Er groaned softly, feeling a warm current flow into her lower abdon, imdiately reducing the pain, but then waves of pin-like stabbing ensued.
"Can the Elixir Embryo still be saved?"
Her voice trembled, her mind wholly preoccupied with the Spiritual Essence Pill.
Mother and daughter rembered Yang Cheng’s words from yesterday: if the Elixir Embryo can’t be saved, then there won’t be ti to refine another pill.
It’s fair to say that the lives of the mother and daughter are now in Yang Cheng’s hands, as they both watch him intently.
"Yang Cheng, I don’t care what happens to the Elixir Embryo, I just want you to ensure my daughter’s life!"
Ye Xixue pleaded urgently. Perhaps this was her fate, but she couldn’t let her daughter be buried alongside her.
