"System: ...
Ding, no need, Host can drink another bottle of low-grade potion to return to normal.
Xu Qian breathed a sigh of relief. She really didn't have time for a postpartum confinement. After being tormented by Song Xiaoping, she only had a year and a half left.
She didn't know how Zhiyuan's new vaccine development was going, and what about Xiao Nian...
Xu Qian shook her head. After drinking another bottle of potion, she went into the bathroom to shower and wash off all the bloodstains.
Her eyes darkened slightly. She was about to face the Tang brothers. Bringing the child back, she wondered what their reactions would be...
At first, she had considered aborting the child, but Song Xiaoping clearly knew what she was thinking and strictly controlled her diet.
When she first became pregnant, he even kept her under 24-hour surveillance, personally helping her even when she bathed, to prevent her from slipping.
Although the dosage of the aromatherapy had been reduced, it only allowed for slow eating and walking. Any strenuous activity was absolutely impossible.
After a month, when the child grew bigger and started moving, she slowly let go of the thought of abortion.
Xu Qian sighed. She would take things one step at a time.
There was still a year and a half.
X Group Headquarters.
By the time Song Xiaoping arrived at the villa, his premonition had intensified. The nanny said Xu Qian had not yet come out of her room.
How could that be?
This was completely out of character for Xu Qian.
He forcibly opened the door, and a strong smell of blood assaulted him. The bed was covered in bloodstains.
Song Xiaoping's pupils constricted, and his face instantly turned pale.
He quickly searched the room. The person was gone.
"Is this what you meant by 'in her room'?"
The nanny trembled all over, lowering her head and daring not to meet the gaze of the man radiating a terrifying aura.
"We kept a constant watch and can confirm that Miss Xu did not leave her room."
Song Xiaoping stepped forward to examine the bloodstains on the sheets. They had not yet dried, suggesting she hadn't left long ago.
He coldly called the X Group's supreme military command.
"Hello, Commander, what are your orders?"
"Dispatch the top reconnaissance teams from each base to search for Xu Qian's whereabouts. Ensure her safety."
The other end paused for a moment before responding in a deep voice, "Yes."
Song Xiaoping clenched his fists, veins bulging.
Xi, where do you intend to take my child?
Tang Base.
A woman in black appeared at the villa's main entrance, holding a pink swaddle.
To save time, she had used a teleportation talisman.
Xu Qian looked down at the child and sighed.
She hoped the favorability wouldn't drop too quickly.
It was afternoon, and they should not be home. A Shen was usually in his office, and Zhiyuan was in the research lab. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
She slowly walked into the living room when, suddenly, footsteps echoed from upstairs.
A man in a suit and tie, holding a stack of documents and reading as he descended, seemed not to notice Xu Qian downstairs.
Xu Qian frowned and quickly composed herself.
She smiled slightly and called out softly, "A Shen."
The man's footsteps paused, and he slowly looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief.
They had been unable to contact her for nearly four months, and they were nearly driven mad with worry, yet there was no news.
Neither Bright Base, Hope Base, nor Tang Base could find her.
And now she had appeared here on her own...
"A Qian, where have you been?"
The man hurried down, then suddenly stopped, his gaze falling on the object in her arms.
A child, a newborn infant.
He didn't suspect anything, thinking she had adopted it from somewhere.
"Why is there another child?"
Xu Qian lowered her eyelids and said faintly, "Let's sit down first."
Tang Zhi Shen asked no further questions, obediently sitting on the sofa, his inquiries ceaseless.
"Where have you been? Your face is so pale, are you injured?"
