"It must be Julian, I ran away, and he’s probably dying to kill ."
"It’s not Julian, it’s the Chinese, and they’re pretty influential locally," Gu Yunbo ladled himself a bowl of noodles from the pot while saying, "Did you offend soone?"
She took a bite and widened her eyes in disbelief, imdiately deciding that no matter what, she must live with Sheng Ning in the future. The cooking is too good, these noodles look so ordinary, yet they taste amazing!
So delicious! Since coming to the US, she hadn’t tasted hotown food, although there were so places in Chinatown, the prices were terrifyingly high.
"No, after Julian kidnapped , I escaped, then t Lin En. You know what happened after that, I collected bottles to sell every day, couldn’t even go out in the dayti."
"That’s strange! According to logic, Housekeeper Xing can’t possibly be in cahoots with Julian. Could he really be Julian’s boss behind the scenes, interested in your sharpshooting skills?"
Gu Yunbo asked with doubt.
"I don’t know anything."
"Does your family have overseas connections?" she asked casually.
"We’re all red-blooded peasant children, where would we get overseas connections?" She had never heard of any, and besides, even if there were overseas connections, they wouldn’t get into the General Union.
"Never mind, let’s just lay low for a while and not show our faces until this blows over."
"Okay!" Sheng Ning calculated her due date and the ti for postpartum confinent; she needed so ti. Right now, nothing is more important than the baby, and since Lin Lisha just died, who knows if it would cause bigger trouble.
So for safety’s sake, it’s best to stay indoors.
But plans can’t keep up with change. That night, Sheng Ning finally fell asleep on the comfortable big bed, only to be awakened from a nightmare. She abruptly opened her eyes, gasping for air.
Large beads of sweat trickled down her cheeks, landing on the pillow.
In the dream, she saw the Living Yama’s face covered in blood, his deep eyes unblinkingly staring at her. They were filled with sorrow, despair, and pain.
Sheng Ning felt her heart throbbing with pain, so much that she couldn’t breathe.
She propped herself up on the bed, trying hard to sit up, but her belly was too big and her legs were so swollen they had no strength. Every movent took effort, the room was pitch black, and she accidentally rolled off the bed without warning.
Then ca a stabbing pain in her belly, and before she could react, the pain ca in overwhelming waves, one after another.
"Ah..." Unable to endure, she cried out in pain. Gu Yunbo, who was already on alert while sleeping next door, jumped out of bed and rushed in upon hearing her voice.
"Sheng Ning, what’s wrong? What happened?" Gu Yunbo turned on the light and saw Sheng Ning lying on the ground, her pajamas soaked in sweat.
"I... I might be going into labor."
"But isn’t it not ti yet?"
She gritted her teeth, hearing Gu Yunbo’s silly words, and responded helplessly, "There’s a term called premature birth."
"Ah?" Now Gu Yunbo was really panicking, she had experienced everything but never had a child! "I’ll... I’ll go find a doctor."
"No way!" Sheng Ning bit her lip and stopped her, "Aren’t you supposed to stay inside?"
"At tis like this, who cares about that. Wait for , I’ll go call for help now, the doctor lives not far away. Hang in there, I’ll be back soon."
