An Xiaxia had nothing to say about that piece of news .

She didn’t want her life to be taken up by hatred . Right now, she wished for nothing but the safe delivery of her baby . She wanted the child to be raised in peace and they would live as a happy family of three .
She opened the door to the study to find Sheng Yize still busy working . An Xiaxia cleared her throat, then put down a plate of fruit on the table .
Sheng Yize casually sat her down on his lap and said in a low voice, “One moment . ”
His long fingers typed quickly on the keyboard as he replied an email . He then pecked An Xiaxia on her forehead . “What are you doing up so late?”
She always went to bed very early .
An Xiaxia gave him a sweet smile . “Have an apple . ”
She put a piece of apple that she had cut up into Sheng Yize’s mouth . Sheng Yize chewed it slowly while sizing her up .
There was no such thing as a free lunch, right?

“You must be tired after working for the whole day, earning money for our family and handling Chu Zhiyun at the same time . You’re such a wonderful husband! Mwa!” An Xiaxia fawned over him and even massaged his shoulders a little . “Do you like that?”
He held her waist, replying in a deep voice, “Hm…”
His husky voice sounded quite sensual .
An Xiaxia stuck out her little finger . “Pinky swear . Whatever I tell you later, you can’t be mad at me or hit me!”
Sheng Yize was speechless . “When have I ever hit you?”
“Hmph~ You never know . What if it brings out the beast in you?”
He said in resignation, “Xiaxia, I’m a man of principle . ”
He couldn’t say that he would never lay a finger on a woman, but that woman would never ever be his wife .

Not to mention that An Xiaxia was also the woman he loved the most in this world .
“That won’t do! Pinky swear with me!” An Xiaxia insisted . Sheng Yize played along and chanted the “we’ve made a pinky swear over a rope and we’ll keep our words for a hundred years” rhyme .
After that was done, he asked randomly, “Why is it ‘over a rope’? Don’t you find that odd?”
An Xiaxia was baffled . “I have no idea…”
The two stared at each other in confusion for a while before An Xiaxia gave him a little punch . “Don’t try to change the subject . There’s something I need to tell you . ”
“Good . I have something to tell you, too . ”
“Huh? You go first, then . ” An Xiaxia still wasn’t sure about this, fearing that Sheng Yize wouldn’t be happy about her pregnancy .
Sheng Yize cleared his throat . “I think I have a lead on that mysterious caller . ”

“Who was it?” An Xiaxia’s eyes were wide open .
Sheng Yize held her face in his hands and stared at her intensely . “Promise me you won’t be mad at me after hearing what I tell you next . As for hitting me… I’ll survive . Just make sure you don’t hurt yourself in the process . ”
An Xiaxia had an inkling that she wasn’t going to like it .
“There is only one person who knew that you went to the island and who had the ability to take you away . ” Sheng Yize paused, then with much reluctance, he continued, “My father . ”
What?
Sheng Qingyi?!
An Xiaxia couldn’t help but be astonished . After considering all the people that might hold a grudge against her, she had never expected it to be Sheng Qingyi!
“Are you sure…” An Xiaxia murmured .
“Eight or nine times out of ten, it was him, but I don’t have any hard evidence yet . ” Sheng Yize looked a little grim .
He had had Sheng Qingyi under house arrest for a little while and An Xiaxia’s life had been free of accidents ever since, which only confirmed his speculation .
It was just that… the truth was too cruel for even him to accept .
“Even with a voice processor, the details in the voice are different for everyone, right?” An Xiaxia suddenly thought of something .
“Naturally . ”
An Xiaxia had a plan . “Let’s… take a trip back home . ”
