After eating and drinking my fill, I went to the restroom.

When I came out, I saw Qingqing waiting for me at the door.

"Zhaoyao Dan, tell me clearly, is the child in your belly really Ye Lisheng's?"

She was straightforward.

I covered my mouth in astonishment.

"How can you ask me such a question? It will frighten the baby!"

I deflected the question.

"Stop beating around the bush. Just tell me, yes or no?"

"I..." I bit my lip. "I can't say."

"You!"

She was choked with anger and fanned herself frantically.

Coincidentally, someone called her name from outside the door, and she left in a rage.

I smirked.

She's probably going to have trouble sleeping tonight.

I returned to my seat, picked up my bag, greeted the gossip-hungry crowd, and walked away with a triumphant stride while they looked at me with reluctance.

But I hadn't walked far when I heard someone calling me in a low voice.

I turned around and saw Ye Lisheng hiding behind a pillar, sneakily waving at me.

I raised an eyebrow and walked gracefully, taking small, elegant steps, until I stood in front of him.

"What's up?"

He looked around anxiously.

"Shouldn't it be you looking for me? When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

I looked at him curiously. "Why should I tell you?"

This performance was meant for them, not a one-man show for him.

I didn't want to get entangled with such a scumbag.

"He... he's mine!"

Ye Lisheng became anxious. "Are you planning to secretly give birth and entangle me for a lifetime?

"Zhaoyao Dan, wake up. We've been over for a long time. I can't be with you anymore."

He looked around again, as if he had made up his mind, and sighed.

"Unless..."

Could there be an "unless" in this situation?

I didn't say anything. I just wanted to hear what outrageous things he could say.

"Don't make a fuss. Secretly give the child to my parents for upbringing, and I'll figure it out."

Oh, he thinks he's clever even though he's ugly.

I glanced at him sideways, my eyes as if looking at a pile of garbage.

"What are you thinking?" I touched my belly. "It's not like you're the only one who can have children."

He squinted at me.

"What do you mean?"

I couldn't be bothered to waste time with him and turned to leave.

"Make it clear."

Ye Lisheng panicked and reached out to grab me.

Just then...

Someone rushed out and stood in front of me, looking handsome as if he had special effects added to him.

A knight in shining armor descended from the sky.

I looked up at him, and he glanced at me sideways.

We exchanged a glance and nodded.

"What are you doing? Speak your mind. What are you trying to do with your hands and feet?"

The newcomer was 185 centimeters tall with a slender figure, while Ye Lisheng was 175 centimeters, completely overshadowed by his shadow.

He looked like a delicate little wife.

"Who are you?"

Ye Lisheng frowned and arrogantly confronted the man.

"Me?" The man smiled. "Don't you recognize me?"

I was also stunned and looked up at him.

They didn't even tell me this part?

The man clapped his hands, and two men in black suits wearing sunglasses appeared from somewhere behind him. They stood with their hands behind their backs, and faint traces of tattoos could be seen on their exposed skin, quietly standing behind him, hiding their talents and fame.

Ye Lisheng was dumbfounded, standing stiff, unable to say a word.

"I'm the one protecting her. People call me 'Wang Ge' (王哥), the big boss of the Wang family."

His voice was calm and composed, but it carried an indescribable pressure.

"Wang... Wang Ge?"

Ye Lisheng's eyes widened in disbelief.

"That's right." Wang Ge nodded. "You should know what it means to provoke someone you shouldn't."

Ye Lisheng's face turned pale, and he took a step back in fear.

"I... I didn't know. I apologize, I didn't mean to offend..."

His voice trembled, and he stuttered.

"Apologize?" Wang Ge sneered. "It's too late for that now. You've already caused trouble for Zhaoyao Dan. Do you think an apology will solve everything?"

Ye Lisheng's body shook, his eyes filled with fear.

At this moment, I felt a sense of satisfaction in my heart.

It seemed that justice had finally been served.

I looked at Wang Ge and nodded gratefully.

He smiled back at me, giving me a reassuring look.

"From now on, I will take care of Zhaoyao Dan. You don't need to worry about her anymore."

His words were like a declaration, full of determination and authority.

I felt a warmth in my heart, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

With Wang Ge by my side, I knew I would be safe.

As for Ye Lisheng, he had brought this upon himself.

I turned around and walked away with Wang Ge, leaving Ye Lisheng behind.

It was time to start a new chapter in my life, free from the past and full of possibilities.

And with Wang Ge by my side, I knew I would be able to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
