Huo Yanci remained calm in response to Qiao Shinian's surprise. "The most important thing right now is to find out who is behind this and ensure your safety. It won't hurt for me to temporarily leave the Huo family. I can devote more energy to this."

Hearing this, Qiao Shinian breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Lu Chennan mentioned before that Huo Yanci has been in charge of the Huo Group for several years, and there are quite a few shareholders who support him. How could he suddenly be squeezed out?

It turns out that Huo Yanci was just going with the flow.

For Qiao Shinian, it was the first time that he had talked with Huo Yanci so calmly for such a long time and said so much.

Before, she wished that they would never meet again in the rest of their lives. But now, in order to prevent herself and the Qiao family from repeating the misery of her previous life, Qiao Shinian decided to put aside the grudge with Huo Yanci and work together to solve the troubles they were facing.

Huo Yanci naturally knew what Qiao Shinian was thinking. He wanted to be with Qiao Shinian, but compared to Qiao Shinian's current situation, he also felt that it was more important to resolve the danger first.

The two of them briefly discussed the countermeasures, and Qiao Shinian was a little exhausted.

She already had severe abdominal pain, and during the day she had meetings and went to the hospital, and had stayed in the mental hospital for such a long time that Qiao Shinian felt her head aching.

Huo Yanci also noticed Qiao Shinian's tiredness, and he said gently, "I'll take you back to rest first. We'll discuss the specific matters later."

Qiao Shinian didn't try to be stubborn, she just nodded.

Rolling down the car window, Huo Yanci asked the bodyguard who was waiting not far away to come over and drive.

On the way, Huo Yanci reached out to massage Qiao Shinian's lower abdomen to relieve the discomfort, but was rejected by Qiao Shinian.

"Huo Yanci, I'm very grateful that you can help me, but we still need to keep our distance where we should."

Qiao Shinian said, "Just treat me as a female partner of yours, and don't do anything inappropriate."

Huo Yanci insisted on placing his palm lightly on Qiao Shinian's abdomen, "There's nothing inappropriate about it. Don't treat me as a member of the opposite sex, but as a pain-relieving patch."

"..." Qiao Shinian.

Unlike Qiao Shinian's cold hands and feet, Huo Yanci's palms are naturally warm, and massaging the abdomen does provide some relief.

Not having the energy to argue with Huo Yanci, Qiao Shinian turned his head and closed his eyes to rest.

Huo Yanci looked at Qiao Shinian's delicate face, her fair skin, her small nose, and especially her long eyelashes, which were like feathers, not too thick, but very curly.

Huo Yanci had the urge to bend down and kiss her.

His Adam's apple moved, but Huo Yanci did nothing in the end. He continued to serve as a belly warmer for Qiao Shinian diligently.

After returning to Mingyue Garden, Huo Yanci wanted to send Qiao Shinian upstairs while he went about his own business.

Qiao Shinian said that it was just an elevator ride and he wouldn't be that weak.

Besides, if Huo Yuanze knew about it, it would inevitably cause more trouble.

Huo Yanci did not add any psychological burden to Qiao Shinian. "Then go and rest first. Don't go to Yiming unless it is necessary in the next two days. Take care of your body first."

Qiao Shinian nodded.

When she returned to the house, Aunt Wang had already prepared hot brown sugar water for her and even helped her change her shoes.

"Ms. Qiao, why didn't you tell me earlier that you were not feeling well?"

Aunt Wang said, "If Mr. Huo hadn't called me just now, I wouldn't have known!"

After changing her shoes, Qiao Shinian waved her hands and said, "It's okay, it's just a small problem."

"Dysmenorrhea is not a small problem. You have never seen people who suffer from severe pain. They can't even get out of bed for a few days!"

Aunt Wang helped Qiao Shinian sit on the sofa and asked her to drink brown sugar water first.

While asking, "I remember you didn't have menstrual cramps before, right? Have you been too busy recently, causing your body's immunity to drop?"

Of course Qiao Shinian couldn't tell Aunt Wang the truth, so she just agreed with Aunt Wang, "Maybe he's too busy."

Aunt Wang became even more nervous when she heard this. "Ms. Qiao, you should stop being so busy in the future. You must take good care of your health and not let yourself get too tired!"

Aunt Wang is already half a family member to Qiao Shinian.

In response to Aunt Wang's concern, Qiao Shinian nodded honestly in agreement.

For the next two days, Qiao Shinian stayed at home at Aunt Wang's request.

Except for going to the toilet and eating, Qiao Shinian hardly had to get out of bed, and even Aunt Wang wanted to bring the food to her.

If Qiao Shinian hadn't been handling her work remotely on the computer, she would have felt like a useless person.

"Aunt Wang, it's not that serious. I just had a little bit of menstrual cramps and it's fine in the past two days."

Qiao Shinian advised, "Go and do your own thing. Fu Tiantian and I have an appointment to go out for dinner, so you don't have to prepare my meal tonight."

Fu Tiantian had not yet reached the time to resign and had been busy at the hospital these past two days, so Qiao Shinian had no time to tell her about his visit to the mental hospital that day.

Qiao Shinian finally had some free time today, so he naturally wanted to meet her outside to relax and have a meal.

With Aunt Wang's uneasy advice, Qiao Shinian went to the restaurant where he had agreed to meet with Fu Tiantian.

Qiao Shinian was asked by her doctor to eat a light diet, so they chose a Cantonese restaurant that pays more attention to the original flavor of the ingredients.

The waiter took Qiao Shinian to the private room on the second floor.

When passing by a private room, a waiter was serving dishes, and Qiao Shinian glanced inside casually.

I actually saw a familiar person - Dr. Wen’s current wife, Ni Manyao.

Ni Manyao was wearing a dark blue knitted skirt with her hair tied back into a bun, exuding the charm of a mature woman.

The man sitting next to Ni Manyao was actually a man in his forties, dressed in a suit and tie, and looking fairly good.

I don’t know what the man said in Ni Manyao’s ear, but Ni Manyao actually stretched out her fist and hit him coquettishly!

Qiao Shinian was simply stunned.

This can be considered as flirting, right? Ni Manyao is still pregnant with Dr. Wen's child!

"Ma'am, what's wrong?" The waiter in front asked politely when he saw that Qiao Shinian didn't move.

Qiao Shinian shook his head and immediately followed her steps.

As soon as Qiao Shinian arrived in the box and saw Fu Tiantian, he couldn't help but tell her about it.

Fu Tiantian couldn't believe it either. "Maybe you were mistaken. They were just having a meal with ordinary friends?"

Qiao Shinian was very sure, "I'm not mistaken, their behavior is very intimate."

"Maybe Wen Jingli went abroad and Ni Manyao was too lonely, so she found a man to relieve her boredom?"

Fu Tiantian said, "Ni Manyao is pregnant now, so she shouldn't do anything with him."

"maybe."

Qiao Shinian didn’t have the energy to think about what the relationship between Ni Manyao and the man was. She was just shocked by this matter.

"If Ni Manyao really cheated on me, your ex-mother-in-law would probably vomit blood!"

Qiao Shinian said with some relief, "She forced away a perfect daughter-in-law like you, and carefully selected a daughter-in-law like you. If the ancestors of the Wen family knew about this, they would be so angry that they would come back to life from underground."

Fu Tiantian was amused by Qiao Shinian. "It is indeed quite funny and ironic when you think about it. But don't mention my stupid behavior again in the future. I feel so embarrassed."

"what!"

Just as Qiao Shinian was about to tease Fu Tiantian, a scream was heard outside.
