Making you a son-in-law is not about making you conquer the world.

"This joke seems familiar," Lin Ping was startled; he didn't want to be the one left holding the bag.

It's strange, really. Jiang Hongling looks like a pure saint, someone no one would dare to offend, so why does she keep having relationships with men one after another?

"Could this be the ultimate level of self-righteousness?" Lin Ping wondered to himself.

Just as he was pondering, Jiang Hongling had already drawn back the curtain and saw through Lin Ping's thoughts at a glance.

"You dog of a man, do you want to die?" Jiang Hongling revealed a chilling gaze, wishing she could devour Lin Ping whole.

She was everyone's goddess, not only beautiful but also with a lovely voice. But now she's cursing like a shrew.

Perhaps, only in front of Lin Ping is she willing to show her most authentic self.

Lin Ping was startled awake by the roar and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He had witnessed the other party's strength firsthand; killing him was as easy as crushing an ant. Besides, this was Chiyang Pavilion, Jiang Hongling's territory, and he couldn't be allowed to run wild or have any ulterior motives.

"Miss Jiang, please don't misunderstand. I never said you were pregnant with someone else's child," Lin Ping explained repeatedly, revealing his true thoughts.

"Aren't you a miracle doctor? How come you can't tell if I'm pregnant or not?" Jiang Hongling said disdainfully, extending her white arm.

Lin Ping had no idea how to take a pulse; he simply didn't want to refuse the other person's kind offer, so he rubbed the arm hard twice and then ruthlessly turned on the X-ray.

"Is she really pregnant?" Lin Ping could clearly see a fully formed little life inside Jiang Hongling's belly, which even looked somewhat like him.

"A slippery pulse, it really is a slippery pulse! Congratulations, Miss Jiang!" Lin Ping couldn't find the words to describe it, so he could only offer his congratulations.

"Congratulations? What's there to be happy about? This child was born without a father." Jiang Hongling glanced at Lin Ping, her anger rising.

"Who told you to lead such a dissolute life? Now you can't find the father of your child, can you?"

He wouldn't dare say these words aloud, but they were written all over his face.

"Hmph! I hate irresponsible men like this. Don't let me catch him, or I'll cut off his hopes for women!" Lin Ping said indignantly, putting on quite a show.

"Oh? Is that so? If I tell Young Master Lin the name of the child's father, will you be able to avenge me?" Jiang Hongling asked sarcastically.

“I am Miss Jiang’s attending physician. That scoundrel is the root of your illness. I will naturally teach him a lesson on Miss Jiang’s behalf, so that you can recover completely.” Lin Ping nodded.

Lin Ping never developed feelings for Jiang Hongling, nor did he expect her to be loyal to him.

In other words, they were just a casual couple, and Lin Ping had no reason to hold a grudge because the other woman was pregnant with someone else's child.

Furthermore, Jiang Hongling had done him a favor, and based on that alone, he should avenge Jiang Hongling, thereby achieving the effect of curing her illness.

“That scoundrel has three wives and four concubines. We can’t cut off his desire for women. It’s fine if he loses an arm or a leg. Anyway, it was consensual that night, and I didn’t plan to have this child.” Jiang Hongling said calmly, but her eyes were somewhat intriguing.

"Your martial arts skills are incredibly strong. If you weren't willing, how could the other person have possessed you?" Lin Ping thought to himself, feeling sorry for the little life.

The fetus was already fully formed after three months, and could even be considered a human life, but sadly it was gone.

"Is this woman out of her mind? If she doesn't want to have the child, why doesn't she get rid of it beforehand?" Lin Ping shook his head inwardly. He didn't believe that Jiang Hongling only found out she was pregnant at this point.

"Losing him an arm would be too lenient. I'll only leave him one arm," Lin Ping said coldly, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Why keep an arm?" Jiang Hongling asked Lin Ping curiously.

Both legs have been chopped off, what use is this arm?

"Keep him here so he can regret it later!" Lin Ping said almost obsequiously, trying his best to please Jiang Hongling.

"You mean if he spends a night with me, he'll regret it?" Jiang Hongling asked rhetorically.

"Big sister, weren't you going to deal with that scoundrel? Why are you playing this survival instinct test with me?" Lin Ping broke out in a cold sweat, realizing he had said the wrong thing.

"I regret not being able to keep you back then..." Lin Ping sighed, "What a pity, what a pity! If I had that chance, I would have fought tooth and nail to pursue you!"

"You dog of a man, don't you have enough opportunities? Why don't you pursue him desperately?" Jiang Hongling exerted herself and stomped Lin Ping to the ground.

He did have many opportunities, several in Huai'an City alone, and even made substantial progress in Yingtian Prefecture, but Lin Ping did not pursue Jiang Hongling relentlessly, and never even said "I love you".

"Miss Jiang, calm down. Don't confuse me with that scoundrel." Lin Ping thought Jiang Hongling mistook him for that scoundrel and tried to calm her down.

"Lin Ping, Lin Ping, what do you take me for? The most beautiful courtesan in Xiaoxiang Courtyard? A prostitute who sells her body and art?" Jiang Hongling became angrier as she spoke: "I don't blame you for what happened that night, but you shouldn't have come now, and you shouldn't have thought that this is someone else's child."

Lin Ping's head suddenly felt like it was about to explode.

He confidently sorted through his thoughts. Jiang Hongling was the goddess of Chiyang Pavilion, extremely aloof, and it was impossible for her to have an affair with a man so easily. But that night, she had no choice but to sleep with him.

In other words, that was Jiang Hongling's first and only time.

"Is the child mine?" Lin Ping felt a mix of emotions, a hundred different feelings.

First of all, his accuracy is quite high.

Secondly, he seems to be in charge.

In the end, it seemed that Jiang Hongling didn't want him to take responsibility.

"What kind of logic is this? She took the initiative to find me just to tell me she doesn't plan to have the child?" Lin Ping felt like a million alpacas were flying through his mind; he couldn't understand a woman's thoughts at all.

"You dog of a man, which arm do you want to keep?" Jiang Hongling said viciously, "Don't rush to give an answer, I'll break both your legs first!"

As she spoke, Jiang Hongling pulled out a gleaming dagger and slashed straight at Lin Ping's thigh.

He dug his own grave, so he deserved to have his leg cut off. Lin Ping should have known the child was his long ago; otherwise, why would Jiang Hongling have sought him out? Was it just to personally ruin the goddess's image?

"Come on! Kill me, and then kill my child, so that we can meet in the afterlife!" Lin Ping shouted with his eyes closed, terrified.

Bang!

The dagger fell to the ground, and tears streamed down Jiang Hongling's face like broken pearls. "You bastard, why did you take so long to come? I hate you!"

Lin Ping's heart was broken by her tears. He held Jiang Hongling in his arms and said with self-reproach, "I'm sorry, I'm late."
