The Genius Sweetheart of the Abstinent Goblin Boss

After saying that, Mother An left.

Zeng Yan was then transferred to a special care ward. He was on a ventilator and lay there quietly, as if he were asleep.

Looking at him, An Lian's tears involuntarily streamed down her face.

She couldn't understand why things turned out like this?

How did things turn out this way between her and Zeng Yan?

Zeng Yichen watched her silently, hesitating several times, before finally whispering words of advice.

“Sister-in-law… let me take care of my brother. You should listen to your uncle and aunt; they are very worried about you.”

"No need." An Lian refused without turning her head, her tone somewhat cold. "You should settle your mother first."

Zeng Yichen could hear the dissatisfaction in her tone about her mother's excessive favoritism towards him, but as the beneficiary, what face did he have to refute it?

He turned to his mother and said, "Mom, let me see you off first..."

At this point, he paused, wanting to suggest taking his mother home first, but which home should they go to?

It's all my fault for being so irresponsible and not acquiring any additional assets. Zeng Nian, on the other hand, had quite a few, but since Zeng Nian was taken away for investigation, his assets will probably be seized as well.

"Let me take you to your hotel to rest first."

Jingying naturally wouldn't blame her son, but she noticed the embarrassment on his face and felt very sorry for him.

If I hadn't been away taking care of him, how could my son not even have his own real estate?

She shook her head. "It's okay. Mom wants to spend some time with your brother first. I'll figure something out later."

"How can that be done!"

Zeng Yichen shook his head repeatedly. He had gone to great lengths to rescue his mother, and he would definitely have to take care of her from now on.

"I……"

"Take her to my place," An Lian said again, but still didn't turn around.

Zeng Yichen and Jing Ying were both taken aback.

"No...it's not very convenient, sister-in-law." Zeng Yichen still subconsciously didn't want to cause An Lian any trouble.

“There’s nothing inconvenient about it,” An Lian said coldly.

Anyway, she'll stay here indefinitely, and I don't know when she'll go back to live elsewhere.

Besides, it was originally Zeng Yan who bought the house. Whether it's reasonable to let his biological mother live there is unknown, but it's certainly reasonable.

Seeing her cold demeanor, Zeng Yichen didn't dare to say anything more. Besides, he did need a place to settle his mother, so he stopped trying to be brave.

"Thank you, sister-in-law... I'll take my mother there first."

Jingying looked at Anlian's indifferent back and then at her lifeless eldest son on the bed, feeling a mix of emotions.

But she deserved the other party's indifference.

She wasn't a good mother to Yichen, but to Ayan, she wasn't even a mother.

Yes... I never gave him love, never taught him to be good, and in the end I turned around and accused him of being selfish and cruel like his father.

The truly selfish person is always oneself.

At least, the boy has a wife who truly loves him, which can be considered a blessing from heaven.

Thinking that An Lian probably didn't want to see her anymore, she didn't say a word and left with Zeng Yichen first.

No amount of words can express my remorse; I'll make it up to you slowly in the future.

midnight.

Seeing that her mother was fast asleep, Ji Ran tiptoed out of the room.

Qi Mu carefully closed the door, turned around, and leaned against the wall.

The girl didn't say anything, but silently buried herself in the man's arms and hugged his waist tightly.

The next second, Qi Mu teleported her to the middle of the back mountain, a place where she could see the most beautiful starry sky.

He skillfully wrapped the blanket around Ji Ran before hugging her tightly.

"Three more months," Ji Ran murmured.

"Huh?" the man asked, puzzled.

Ji Ran raised her head, her dark, bright eyes gleaming with a captivating light.

"The gene cloning process will be completed in three more months."

Qi Mu was taken aback, his eyes revealing a hint of joy, but also a touch of worry.

"What's wrong?" Ji Ran tilted her head, looking puzzled.

Seeing that she was worried about him, Qi Mu shook his head.

"It's nothing, it's just that I haven't lived in a long time, and I don't know how I'll survive."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ran buried her head in the man's chest again and mumbled,

"I'm here, what's there to be afraid of?"

The man smiled slightly, "I'm not afraid."

Then Ji Ran remembered Zeng Yichen's matter and asked...

"Has Zeng Nian been arrested?"

"Mm," Qi Mu replied.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ran finally felt relieved. It seemed that Chief Luo had indeed kept his word and had not protected Zeng Nian.

"Well..." Ji Ran casually wanted to ask Zeng Yichen and the others how they were doing, but then felt it wasn't her place to ask.

Qi Mu naturally understood what she wanted to ask, and knew that Ranran was no longer as averse to Zeng Yichen, so he took the initiative to answer.

"Zeng Yan was shot, but he is out of danger and is now in a vegetative state. The others are fine."

"Zeng Yan was shot?" Ji Ran raised his head, his face showing surprise.

Zeng Yichen had told her he wanted to save his mother, and at the Qin family's press conference, the general's wife and adopted daughter caused such a big problem that Zeng Nian would definitely be distracted and have to deal with it.

Therefore, she guessed that Zeng Yichen would definitely take this opportunity to act.

So she sent a message in advance using the contact information that Chief Luo had left last time, asking him to send people over in case anything happened to Zeng Yichen.

This can be considered as repaying the favor of him stealing the ring for her.

However, she even guessed that Zeng Yichen might act with his sister-in-law, but she never expected that Zeng Yan would also be there.

Qi Mu noticed her confusion and explained,

"He rushed out to take the bullet for his wife."

Ji Ran was even more surprised. She hadn't expected Zeng Yan to be such a sentimental person. But if he was sentimental, why had he abused someone before?

They didn't cherish each other when they were together, but started to feel deeply for each other after letting go?

What a twisted person.

It seems that Zeng Nian is the only truly wicked member of the Zeng family?

No, that's not right either. What about the adopted daughter?

Of his three children, only his adopted daughter, who was not related to him by blood, was as bad as him, but unfortunately, she didn't have his brains.

Tsk tsk.

In any case, Zeng Nian is no longer a major threat, and Qi Mu will no longer be in danger after his resurrection.

Now that the Fu family's situation is resolved, Mom's problem is...

"Sigh..." Ji Ran's headache started again.

"What's wrong?" Qi Mu gently patted the back of her head.

“I thought Mom just didn’t care about Qin Wenzhou anymore, but I never imagined she didn’t even care about Qin Wenzhou’s life.” Ji Ran sighed.

Although this is my parents' business, it's their freedom to decide how to handle it.

However, Ji Ran, who grew up as an orphan, longed for harmonious family relationships and human kindness deep down.

But precisely because she grew up as an orphan, how could she possibly reconcile the complex conflicts between her parents?

Qi Mu pursed his lips. He wasn't really in a position to comment on this, anyway…

"They all love you."

Ji Ran felt a warmth in her heart, and she could feel it too.

Qi Mu quietly added another sentence.

"I love you too."
