Tang Yanqi naturally understood what Li Lani was afraid of, but now even she was a little confused. She took a deep breath and exhaled: "Sister i, don’t talk to anyone else about this matter. Don’t worry, I won’t harm you. Just focus on your work. The rest is none of your concern."
"Yes, yes, thank you, Young Madam."
Tang Yanqi didn’t know how she got back, her eyes blankly staring ahead, unfocused, her mind in complete chaos. If what Li Lani said was true, then Mrs. Sheng’s motive for doing those things becos all too obvious.
She was targeting Mr. Sheng.
If that’s the case, then... Mr. Sheng’s death...
Could it be it’s not an accident, nor a natural course, but soone’s deliberate action?
Tang Yanqi frowned, feeling the air around her scarce, and clenched her hand tightly on the table, while her other hand rested on her stomach.
Her body felt very uncomfortable, her stomach protesting. Tang Yanqi hurried to take deep breaths, gradually calming down.
Soone passing by noticed her pale face and quickly approached: "Tang, what’s wrong with you?"
Tang Yanqi had already cald down, managing a smile: "It’s nothing."
"You’re sweating cold, are you not feeling well? I can help you ask the manager for leave, you should go to the hospital quickly."
Tang Yanqi initially wanted to shake her head in refusal, she knew her body well, it was nothing, perhaps she was just frightened earlier.
But her mind was in chaos now, staying here wouldn’t allow her to work. So Tang Yanqi nodded and smiled: "Thank you."
She called Xiao Li, asking him to co and pick her up.
Tang Yanqi didn’t go to the hospital, but went directly back to the villa. She felt much better, no longer uncomfortable, yet her heart was heavy, as if weighed down by a huge stone.
She thought she had seen through Mrs. Sheng’s facade, but hadn’t expected that woman had an even uglier side.
If what she once assud were coincidences, and accidents were not true, then how many more things are there that they don’t know about?
She believed she knew the whole truth, but could there be truths within this truth that are still unknown?
Arriving back at the villa, Tang Yanqi lay on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, yet still felt unbearably cold, a chill coming from deep within, that no thickness of quilt could block.
Due to her enlarged belly, it was inconvenient, otherwise Tang Yanqi really wanted to curl up, hug herself tightly.
She made an effort to shift slightly, trying to curl up, but it was uncomfortable. Just as she relaxed a bit, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside, Sheng Jianan rushed in, tie askew and face full of panic.
With his long legs, he strode in a few steps to the bedside: "What’s wrong? Are you unwell?"
Tang Yanqi stared blankly at him: "Why are you back?"
"Xiao Li said you asked for leave this afternoon, are you not feeling well?"
Tang Yanqi was speechless, that big mouth!
"No, I just felt a little tired and wanted to co back and rest."
Seeing him, Tang Yanqi’s heart inexplicably settled. She reached out to straighten Sheng Jianan’s crooked tie, smiling: "Mr. Sheng, did you run off work early again?"
Seeing she still had the mind to joke with him, Sheng Jianan finally relaxed a little.
His gaze scanned Tang Yanqi up and down thoroughly, and seeing that her complexion had recovered without any anomalies, Sheng Jianan finally put his mind at ease.
