"I dare not!" Lang Ba quickly said nervously, "I’m just... just worried about your safety, Yandi!"
Situ Yan’s eyes flashed with a touch of coldness: "Don’t worry, I’m very safe. Xiaonuan won’t harm ."
"Yandi..." Lang Ba hesitated.
"What do you want to say now?"
"Yandi, that Xia Xiaonuan, she is the ex-wife of Nangong Yaoling, the current CEO of the Nangong Empire Consortium spanning Europe and Asia. Nangong Yaoling is not soone to be trifled with. I’m afraid her identity... might bring disaster upon our Liro Empire..."
"Impudence!" Situ Yan’s face darkened, and he suddenly roared.
Lang Ba and several elders were startled, imdiately stepping back and kneeling on the ground.
"Yandi... please calm down!"
The group said in unison, trembling in fear.
Situ Yan’s expression was terrifyingly grim, his pupils ablaze with fire.
"Are you saying that I fear Nangong Yaoling? Is our Liro Empire so easily defeated?"
Lang Ba trembled and quickly said, "Yandi, I didn’t an that... It’s just that, keeping things simple is better. Of all the won in the world, you can choose freely, why... why did you choose her... and one who is already..."
"... already married, right?" Situ Yan sneered, continuing his sentence.
Lang Ba lowered his head, not daring to reply.
A sharp pain shot through Situ Yan’s shoulder, and he closed his eyes slightly.
"Yandi! Are you alright!" Several people were frozen with fear, exclaiming, "Should we call a doctor!"
"No need." Situ Yan exhaled a breath, slowly opening his eyes, looking at Lang Ba and the few well-dressed middle-aged n in front of him: "Xiaonuan is the one I have chosen, and she is already pregnant with my child. I warn you, in the future... I don’t want to hear anyone speak ill of her, otherwise... you know the consequences."
Everyone was surprised by his words.
"Yandi... you said... she is pregnant?"
"Yes!"
"Yandi... this matter concerns the succession of the entire Lot Empire. Your child is to inherit the entire empire in the future... Are you sure she’s carrying your child?"
Another middle-aged man with a thick beard and eyebrows said worriedly.
"Of course." Situ Yan’s cold eyes glanced at the man: "Do you think I’m so foolish that I can’t even recognize my own child?"
"But..."
Xia Xiaonuan stood at the door, watching the scene inside.
She couldn’t help but bite her lip; Situ Yan... he was indeed very good to her. He insisted on keeping her despite the opposition around him.
But... the truth is, the child is not his. So why is Situ Yan doing this?
"I tell you, even though Xiaonuan married Nangong Yaoling, her first ti was with . So, the child in her belly must be mine."
"Yandi... there’s sothing I must say. Even if you and Miss Xia are together, can you be sure that after being with you, she hasn’t been involved with her ex-husband again? What if... I’m afraid of what if... the child really isn’t yours, what will you do?"
Xia Xiaonuan stood at the door, completely stunned.
Why would Situ Yan say that? Why tell them her first ti was with him? They’ve never had any sort of relationship!
