Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

"What exactly do you want?!"

The old man was so angry that his beard trembled slightly with his movements.

"It's very simple. Hand over the stuff and follow us obediently, and you'll suffer less."

Yan Jiu casually flicked a strand of hair behind her ear, the gesture exuding charm and allure.

If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, Xiao Zhang and his friends would have all come up to ask for his WeChat.

"impossible!"

These people had lived most of their lives making a living by selling this kind of potion. However, this person was trying to cut off their source of income, and the old man certainly wouldn't agree to it.

Lu Qingyun had no intention of reasoning with them. She clapped her hands, and the people surrounding them all took a step forward, their expressions fierce and menacing.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Lu Qingyun lowered her eyelids and looked at them coolly, "Since none of you will agree, then I will have no choice but to take action."

Old man: ? ! !

How can you be so unreasonable?

Before they could speak, Lu Qingyun raised her hand slightly, and the group of people subdued them. Then, the remaining people carried out the medicines they had taken from the laboratory.

"Hey! Stop! All of you, stop!"

Just then, a man rushed out of a house, carrying a child in his arms. The man was tall and strong.

The people stopped moving things.

The man held a dagger to the girl's pale neck.

The child, who looked about five or six years old, had never seen such a scene before, and she burst into tears in fright.

"Stop right there, or I'll kill this child!"

The man's gaze was fixed on Lu Qingyun.

He knew that everyone here would listen to Lu Qingyun, so he had to control her first. Once he had her under control, everything would be much easier to resolve.

"Miss..."

Everyone's attention immediately turned to Lu Qingyun.

The latter's eyes were indifferent, showing no sign of worry or tension.

what happened?

Isn't she worried at all about the child's safety?

Shouldn't women all be overflowing with compassion?

Why is it different for her?!

"Keep moving."

man:? ? ?

Why doesn't this woman play by the rules?!

Just as the man was about to apply force with the dagger, Tang Meng moved.

He moved so fast that the man didn't even have time to react.

His leg was kicked, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The hand loosened its grip, and the child fell to the ground.

Yan Jiu was also quite fast, and scooped the child up in one go.

The child was clearly terrified; she clung to her neck with both hands, crying and hiccuping.

Seeing that the child was being protected by Yan Jiu, Tang Meng stepped forward and quickly subdued the man.

Without the dagger, the man was like a paper tiger, easily subdued by Tang Meng.

"You, you're all bullying us because of your power!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyun's eyes flashed with coldness. She stepped forward and stomped on the man's hand. "So what if you bully others with your power? I have the ability to do so."

Man: This is the first time I've seen someone bully others like this.

"Ahhh!"

The girl pressed down hard with her foot, and he couldn't help but cry out in pain.

"Take them all away."

Lu Qingyun withdrew her foot, her voice very calm.

A group of people hurriedly took the old man and his companions away, leaving the rest of the group to guard the place.

"Sister, our friends are still imprisoned inside. Can you rescue them?"

The child next to her tugged at Lu Qingyun's clothes.

Lu Qingyun hummed in agreement, and she slightly raised her chin. Tang Meng immediately understood what she meant.

Yan Jiu also stepped forward to help.

After releasing the people who were being held captive, they called Duanmu Yi and asked him to come and take these people to the hospital for examinations and psychological treatment.

"Alright, things are more or less resolved, we can go back now."

Yan Jiu wiped the sweat from her forehead as she spoke.

Lu Qingyun was holding a piece of bread, which Tang Meng gave her because he was worried that she would be hungry after working for so long.

It has to be said that Gu Jinming was very thoughtful; she really was hungry.

Although she didn't eat much after each vomiting episode, she always got hungry very quickly.

This little rascal really has a big appetite.

Lu Qingyun bit into the bread containing her phone and took a sip of water from her thermos. "Wait a little longer."

"Who are you waiting for?"

"You'll find out later."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the sound of high heels came from outside.

Yan Jiu turned her head to look.

The woman, dressed in a long black dress, swayed as she walked in.

"Miss Lu."

After seeing Lu Qingyun, Hengchun nodded slightly to her, then turned his gaze to Yan Jiu and Tang Meng, saying, "Leave this to me, Miss Lu, you can go back with peace of mind."

"Okay, remember to send me the list when you have it compiled."

Lu Qingyun took a bite of the bread in her hand, and finally looked up, lifting her eyelids to glance at her.

She got up and walked outside.

Tang Meng took the thermos from her hand, then picked up his backpack and followed her to the car, even opening the car door for her.

Yan Jiu glanced at Heng Chun a few times, said nothing, and left with Lu Qingyun.

"Hey, why does she look so familiar?"

She touched Lu Qingyun's arm.

"Perhaps because she frequently attends various large banquets."

Lu Qingyun finally finished her bread and leaned back in her chair, looking rather lazy, like a Persian cat.

Do they frequently appear at various banquets and parties?

This woman is quite something.

Yan Jiu secretly admired him a little.

"If that's the case, then I might have seen her at some banquet."

She touched her chin, pondering to herself.

Lu Qingyun felt a little sleepy after eating, her eyelids drooping, and she looked somewhat drowsy.

Yan Jiu glanced at her, adjusted her position, and then patted her shoulder. "Lean on here. What if you bump your head sleeping like that?"

She was so sleepy that she leaned over naturally after Yan Jiu finished speaking.

Tang Meng noticed the situation in the back seat and whispered, "Miss Yan, there's a blanket that Master Jin put in the back. You can cover the young mistress with it."

"it is good."

Yan Jiu unfolded the blanket that was in a bag in the back seat and covered Lu Qingyun's lower abdomen.

-

Beijing Prison.

Prisons are under special surveillance.

Jing Shuo leaned back in his chair, his expression indifferent.

It was as if he had expected to be captured and brought here.

Steady footsteps came from outside the door, and several people walked towards them.

"Open the door."

The voice at the door was slightly hoarse.

"Yes, sir!"

The guard responded and quickly took out the key to open the door.

A man in a suit walked in. His strides were even, which showed that he had served in the military before. Judging from his appearance, he must have held a high position.

Jing Shuo glanced at him, then casually looked away.

Humph, just pretending.

He looks much better in a suit than this middle-aged man.

Lieutenant Zhang pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Jing Shuo, tapping the table with his calloused hands. "Let's talk."

Upon hearing this, Jing Shuo looked up and asked, "What are you talking about? How are you going to deal with me?"

"...Let's talk about your potions."

He choked for a moment, but then recovered.

He's someone who's been through a lot.

"Hmm? Talking about my potion? What, Lieutenant Zhang, are you also planning to test the potion's power?"

Jing Shuo tilted his head, looking nonchalant.

Before Zhang's adjutant could speak, the man behind him couldn't help but shout, "What nonsense are you spouting!"

"Tsk."

Jing Shuo clicked his tongue lightly, "Are you getting angry out of embarrassment?"

"Who are you calling an angry idiot!"

"Whoever agrees will be the one."

Jing Shuo is so irresponsible and his way of speaking can be infuriating.

"Quiet."

Lieutenant Zhang tapped the table lightly, and the person behind him finally quieted down.

However, Jing Shuo's expression still showed anger.

"Mr. Jing, are you aware that your bases have been destroyed?"

"So what if they're destroyed? I've already been captured, what's the point of keeping those outposts?"

That's a rather magnanimous statement.

Lieutenant Zhang looked up and said, "Miss Lu and the others have brought up all the evidence of what you've done. You can't escape this time. Don't even think about having any crooked ideas."

Jing Shuo scoffed, "Look how well protected we are, even if I wanted to do something shady, I couldn't."

"It better be this way."

After saying that, he stood up, pulled out a chair, and walked out.

Jing Shuo stared at his retreating figure for a moment, and after they left, he raised his hand and slammed it hard against the wall, his eyes filled with boundless hatred.

Lu Qingyun!

He should have been more ruthless back then.

The phrase "endless troubles" is truly an apt description of her.

After Zhang, the adjutant, came out, the man behind him said indignantly, "That Jing Shuo has done so many bad things, and he still hasn't shown any remorse. It's infuriating!"

"Otherwise, how could he be considered the mastermind behind this group?"

His eyes held a heavy expression.

Such a person deserves to be torn to pieces.

-

Lu Qingyun slept until night after returning home.

She reached for her phone and glanced at the time.

Around 7pm.

Seven o'clock... Damn, did I sleep for that long?

Lu Qingyun threw off the covers and got out of bed.

She was a little thirsty, and as soon as she got out of bed, Lu Qingyun saw a glass of warm water on the table.

Lu Qingyun took a sip and found that the water temperature was just right.

"Are you awake? Are you hungry?"

Light footsteps came from the doorway, and Lu Qingyun subconsciously turned around to look.

"Kind of."

"Want to eat anything?"

Lu Qingyun thought for a moment, then suddenly looked out the window.

From this vantage point, you can see the bright lights outside.

"I want to eat out."

She hadn't eaten out for a long time, and this was the first time since she became pregnant that she had something she wanted to eat.

Eating out?

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinming paused slightly and remained silent for a moment.

"Okay?"

Lu Qingyun tugged at his sleeve, deliberately softening her voice.

"You can't eat anything too spicy, you can only eat a little bit."

Gu Jinming couldn't stand her gaze and immediately gave in.

"Okay, it's up to you."

She nodded.

Gu Jinming went to the bedroom to get her a coat, and then picked up a hat from the table and put it on Lu Qingyun. "You can go now."

"it is good."

He led Lu Qingyun out, carrying an extra bag in his hand.

Whenever Lu Qingyun was going out or doing anything, Gu Jinming would pack her food for the next day.

Gu Jinming drove the car himself, and Lu Qingyun sat in the passenger seat.

She was wearing headphones and listening to music.

A moment later, my phone vibrated; it was a message from Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming: [Sister-in-law, you can come for your prenatal checkup tomorrow.]

Prenatal checkup?

She didn't book this service.

"what happened?"

Gu Jinming noticed that Lu Qingyun had paused and couldn't help but ask a question.

"Did you schedule my prenatal checkup?"

Lu Qingyun replied with an "okay".

"Yes, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Gu Jinming hummed in agreement and parked the car on the side of the road.

"Hmm, we've arrived?"

"Yes, this place is clean and the food is alright. You can see what you want to eat later."

Gu Jinming bent down to help her unbuckle her seatbelt, then got out of the car carrying his black bag.

After getting out of the car, he opened the door on Lu Qingjun's side, reached out to her, and pulled her out.

Seeing Gu Jinming's reaction, Lu Qingyun lazily curled her lips, "So nervous?"

"Yes, you've only just woken up, I'm worried your legs might be weak."

Speaking of weak legs, Lu Qingyun thought of what had happened before, and the tips of her ears turned red.

This man might be flirting, often without even realizing it.

"You'd better not say anything."

Lu Qingyun walked forward quickly.

Gu Jinming chuckled and chased after him.

The shop he chose was the kind that you could tell was very clean just by looking at it from the outside.

The owners are a husband and wife, and you can tell from their appearance that they are very honest people.

"Hello, what would you two like to eat?"

The proprietress saw the people arrive and greeted them.

The store was quite crowded. Gu Jinming held her hand tightly, protecting her anxiously, afraid that someone might bump into her without noticing.

"Please make something light, not too spicy, and please don't make it too strong in flavor, as my wife has been experiencing severe morning sickness lately."

Gu Jinming gave a brief explanation.

After hearing his words, the proprietress looked at the two of them with envy.

Wow, they really are a perfect match. Not only are they incredibly good-looking, but they're also so sweet. They look like a loving young couple.

The proprietress looked at the two of them with a smile in her eyes.

"Okay, you can sit at the corner table. It's quieter there, and no one will go there."

"Okay, trouble."

Gu Jinming nodded slightly to her, then led Lu Qingyun to sit over there.

"The food here is very good, Qingqing, you should try it."

He poured Lu Qingyun a glass of warm water.

"I want something spicy."

She pointed to the hot and sour shredded potatoes on the menu.

"Sour for a boy, spicy for a girl, Qingqing, do you want to give me twins?"

Gu Jinming spoke with a hint of amusement in his voice.

Lu Qingyun: ...

That guy has some pretty good ideas.

but……

Lu Qingyun unconsciously touched her lower abdomen. She had only been pregnant for a little over two weeks, but her lower abdomen was already noticeably larger.

If you wear something slightly tighter, it will be immediately noticeable.

Hmm, maybe Gu Jinming is right.

Lu Qingyun took a sip of water from her glass. "Perhaps you guessed right."

Gu Jinming paused, spilling some water from the cup.

"Could it really be true?"

"do not know."

Out of consideration for Lu Qingyun, the proprietress served them the dishes first.

Lu Qingyun took a few bites and found that the taste was really good.

Seeing her eating so heartily, Gu Jinming felt a little relieved.

Finally, we've found a restaurant that suits your taste.

After dinner, Gu Jinming took Lu Qingyun back home.

"Shall we take a walk?"

Eating too much makes my stomach uncomfortable.

Gu Jinming took out the probiotics he had prepared beforehand for Lu Qingyun, "Drink some of this first."
