Chapter 844: Doubt

Before we left, Lin Nan was reluctant to part with me.
Auntie Lan glared at Jing Tian. “Can’t you leave Nanxing here to stay? The wedding is going to be held soon, and you’ve been beaten up by Tong Le and Tong Mo. You’ve suffered enough. Can’t you have your wife stay with you?”
Jing Tian coughed lightly. “I’ll go and be a live-in son-in-law. I won’t disturb you and dad.”
Auntie Lan was rendered speechless by her son’s counterattack. She hit her son. “You Little Brat.”
Jing Tian revealed a rare smile and explained, “We still have something to discuss. Don’t worry. I know you’re anxious to hold your grandchildren. You should hurry up and prepare for the wedding. Our matter will be settled soon.”
He pulled me along and walked away quickly. The others followed suit. We fled in panic amid auntie Lan’s smug laughter.
When we returned to our courtyard, Mai Qi and Jing Ni stopped in their tracks and asked in unison, “What is going on with Lin Nan?”
No one spoke.
No one could answer this question.
Jing Tian pulled me back and said in a deep voice, “I think she’s most interested in you. Stay away from her. If you can’t, think of a way to send her away!”
I sighed. “Lin Hua is currently concocting medicine with Mr. Li. Keeping Lin Nan around is one of his conditions. If I send her away, I’m afraid…”
I didn’t continue because I saw cousin Mo’s expression change.
He had always been very sensitive in this aspect.
Ye Qian smiled. “We don’t need to be wary of anything. I’ve observed her for a while and feel that she doesn’t seem to be faking it. Why don’t I stay with her? From tomorrow onwards, I’ll accompany Auntie Lan and keep an eye on her as well.”
It seemed that everyone was observing Lin Nan today. No wonder!
I said hurriedly, “I think Ye Qian is right. There’s no need to be too nervous. She’s interested in me. It’s probably because I’ll be the first person she sees after she wakes up, right?
“It’s just like how a small animal recognizes its mother. I don’t think it’s a good idea to let her pester Auntie Lan. All of you have your own jobs, and I’m the only one who has nothing to do. Why don’t I bring her along? I also want to see if she’s faking it or not. I’ll also have something to do. Even if she’s faking it, it’s not dangerous for me. She can’t beat me in a fight, and she can’t poison me. It’s better for her to be interested in me than Jing Tian, right?”
I shot Jing Tian a sideways glance.
Jing Tian frowned. “You must be joking!”
I leaned on his shoulder, and I smiled at the crowd. “It’s settled then. You guys go about your business. Remember your tasks. Don’t go overboard. I’ve found something for myself to do. You don’t have to worry about it anymore! Disperse! Okay?”
When I returned to my room, Jing Tian immediately hugged me in his arms.
I wrapped my arms around his waist and smiled. “Why? Are you afraid that Lin Nan will harm me?”
Jing Tian gently stroked my back. “Nanxing, with me around, no one can harm you!”
I smiled. “Of course. I have master Qi protecting me!”
Jing Tian’s hand paused for a moment. He suddenly used more force.
My heart skipped a beat. I pushed him away immediately. “Oh, I forgot. I asked Tong Yan to make a medicine for me. I don’t know if she’s done yet. I have to go and take a look!”
I ran out of the door and turned around. “You should go back first! We’ll stay up late. Have a good rest. I’ll come and find you tomorrow!”
I ran away with a smile.
I knew that Jing Tian had fallen in love with her, but I didn’t want to tell him about the child yet, and I couldn’t hurt the baby. I had no choice but to run away!
In the future, I had more time to spend with Jing Tian anyway!
