Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

The night was as dark as ink, and the Ji family mansion was completely quiet, with only the occasional sound of the night wind blowing through the leaves breaking the silence. However, beneath this quietness, there was a hidden undercurrent that was unknown to the public.

In a corner of the Ji family, in the servant's room, under the dim light, Aunt Li's fingers jumped rapidly on the screen, her eyes full of determination and secret excitement.

She compiled all the details that happened in the Ji family today, especially the heartwarming scene of Lu Nanxu and the other five people accompanying Ji Yan, into a message without missing a word, and sent it to someone far away.

After sending the message, she breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had accomplished an important mission. She then hid her phone, turned off the lights and went to bed.

At the same time, in the Su family villa on the other side of the city, the lights were still bright.

He Fei sat at the desk, the message he just received was displayed on his mobile phone screen. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were flashing with complex emotions. After a moment, he turned off the phone, stood up, and decided to look for Su Su.

He Fei tiptoed to Su Su's door, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door gently.

"Come in." Su Su's gentle voice came from the room, with a hint of imperceptible expectation.

When I pushed open the door, what came into view was Su Su sitting by the bed, holding a children's book in her hands, and gently telling a story to the baby in her belly.

The moonlight shone through the gap in the curtains and sprinkled on her gentle face, making her look particularly moving. He Fei's heart softened involuntarily, but then he strengthened his determination.

"Miss," he began quietly, breaking the silence of the room, "I have something to tell you."

Su Su looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled gently, "What's wrong? It seems like you have something important to do."

He Fei walked to the bedside and sat down, telling Su Su all the news he had received from Aunt Li today.

At first, Su Su's brows were furrowed, with a hint of anger and unwillingness in her eyes, but when she heard the news that Ji Yan was about to go to the hospital for a prenatal check-up, her eyes suddenly lit up and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Are all the things I asked you to prepare ready?" She looked at He Fei, with an unquestionable firmness in her tone.

He Fei nodded, his eyes full of trust and support for Su Su. "Everything is ready."

A satisfied smile appeared on Su Su's lips, with a cunning light flashing in her eyes.

"Then tomorrow, let's give Miss Ji a special 'childbirth gift'!" When she said this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her laughter contained both the excitement of the upcoming implementation of the plan and her confidence in her plan.

……

In the early morning, the sunlight shines through the gaps in the curtains and gently falls on every corner of the room.

Ji Yan was half asleep and half awake. She gently covered her mouth with her hands and yawned delicately. Then she lay lazily on the maternity pillow, enjoying the tranquility and comfort.

From time to time, her eyes swept to the side and fell on the handsome man, Xin Mujing, who was concentrating on his phone. Xin Mujing's fingers jumped quickly on the phone screen, his sword-like eyebrows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes stretched, and he looked extremely focused.

"When did you come in?" Ji Yan suddenly asked, her voice carrying a hint of laziness and curiosity as if she had just woken up.

She tried to use her hands and feet, trying to sit up clumsily, but her body seemed heavier due to her pregnancy, and her staggering appearance made people feel pity for her.

Seeing this, Zheng Haoqian hurried forward, beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead, fearing that she would make a mistake, so he held her waist firmly and gently scolded her with a doting tone: "Be careful, you little lazy pig."

Xin Mujing looked at Ji Yan's charming appearance, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said jokingly: "You little lazy pig, you can't wake up even if the sky falls, right?" As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed the dissatisfied eyes coming from the door.

Lu Nanxu leaned against the door, his eyes showing some complexities, showing his concern for Ji Yan, but also his dissatisfaction with the close relationship between Xin Mujing and Zheng Haoqian. He said to Ji Yan softly, "Do you want to sleep a little longer? You have to go for a prenatal checkup in the afternoon."

Ji Yan blinked and shook her head, with an expression that said, "I'm willful, let's see what you can do to me." "No, I don't want to sleep! I want to chat with you and take a walk."

Helian Minxiao took off his glasses, and a hint of helplessness and doting flashed in his deep blue eyes. He sighed and advised: "I saw you yawn more than 20 times after breakfast. Are you really not tired? Go to sleep if you want to, don't force yourself."

Hearing this, Ji Yan curled her lips and glanced at Helian Minxiao in a reproachful manner, then stubbornly grabbed the thin coat beside her and put it on: "I'm not forcing myself, I just don't want to miss every moment with you guys."

However, at this moment, Zheng Haoqian seemed to notice something was wrong. He frowned slightly, slowly walked to Ji Yan's side, and asked softly: "Yan Yan, do you feel uncomfortable today? I see that you don't look well."

As he spoke, he gently leaned his head forward, put his hand against Ji Yan's forehead to test the temperature, and carefully examined her lip color and eyes.

Ji Yan was already a little irritated because of the changes in her body. When Zheng Haoqian asked her this, the grievance in her heart suddenly surged up: "You are the one who is wrong! I'm fine, I'm just a little depressed."

She opened her eyes angrily and slapped Zheng Haoqian's hand away, her voice filled with stubbornness and dissatisfaction, "Go away! Don't come near me, I'm so annoying!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Yan's eyes turned red, and tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably. She quickly covered her face with her hands, buried her entire face in her palms, and sobbed.

At this moment, she seemed to have taken off all her strength and disguise, and was only willing to show her true self in front of these people who loved her.

Fu Jingyan just walked out of the study, and a sense of uneasiness inexplicably surged in his heart, as if something important was happening quietly. He quickened his pace, walked through the corridor, and finally stopped in front of Ji Yan's door.

A faint light shone through the crack in the door, accompanied by faint sobbing, which made his heart beat faster.

Without thinking too much, Fu Jingyan gently pushed open the door, afraid of disturbing the tranquility in the room, but he saw Ji Yan sitting on the edge of the bed, tears falling like pearls from a broken string, wetting a corner of her clothes.

Her face was haggard, and her eyes were filled with unspeakable sadness, which instantly gripped Fu Jingyan's heart and made him feel unbearable pain.

"What's going on? Yanyan, why are you crying like this?" Fu Jingyan approached anxiously, his voice full of concern and confusion. He tried to soothe the pain in her heart with his warmth, but he didn't expect that his approach would make Ji Yan even more irritable.

Ji Yan looked up, with a bit of coldness and alienation in her eyes. She glanced at Fu Jingyan, her voice choked with anger: "Can't I cry? Don't come close to me, there's almost no room to breathe!"

There was a mixture of grievance and dissatisfaction in her tone, as if all the emotions had found an outlet at this moment.
