was smiling at her, nuzzling her with tenderness, his demeanor towards her remained unchanged from before. But the gruff bellow that erupted when he arrived, the forceful way he pulled her along, and...There, Rong Qi Keng, his face contorted with fury, sped the car straight to the He family's doorstep. (..tw no pop-up ads) Before anyone could report him, he strode in with a menacing air. The servant saw his grim expression, his complexion was dark and flushed, and there was even a smear of blood on his lip, as if he had been beaten. His heart pounded with fear, wanting to stop him but too afraid to do so.

Here's He Ya's side of the story: Old Madam Ho has given a strict order, forbidding Rong Qikeng from going straight for He Ya. If he comes, they are to stop him first and then report to her immediately. Under pressure, a maid stepped forward to block him, but before she could even speak, the terrifying Rong Qikeng shoved her aside with one hand.

Get out of here!

The roar frightened the servant who was pushed against the wall. He didn't dare to make a sound, could only tightly cling to the wall, his eyes filled with fear, not daring to move an inch. The quick-witted one immediately went to fetch the old woman.

He Ya's room was in the inner room on the second floor. Along the way, the female members of the He family heard the servant's scream and came out to peek, but when they saw Rong Qikeng, none of them stepped forward to stop him. They just watched impassively, while secretly sneering in their hearts.

Look, look, the girl who is held in the old woman's heart, what has she done to attract such attention! Finally, let's see what she looks like.

So, Rong Qikeng stormed into He Ya's base camp like a fearsome general who could not be stopped. As he kicked open the door, He Ya, who was sitting in front of her computer, gritting her teeth at the false reports about her on the webpage, was taken aback. Without thinking, she let out a furious roar.

"Don't enter without knocking! Go out and knock before coming in again!"

Then, he glared at the webpage with anger, without looking back.

Rong Qikeng was already furious, and after being scolded like that as soon as he entered the room, he even made a scene, embarrassing himself. This ignited his anger, making it burn even hotter.

"What a temper!" he snorted, his good eyesight allowing him to see from afar what she was looking at on her computer. It enraged him even more.

"Looking at what you've done, aren't you particularly proud inside, huh"

He hummed dangerously, a wickedly grotesque smile spreading across his lips.

He Ya heard his voice and froze instantly. Her panicked heart thumped wildly, and she didn't know what to do. So, after a full three seconds of stunned silence, she jumped up in a fluster, turned around to look at him, and plastered on a dry, forced smile. "Well, hello," she said, her voice as dry as dust.

"Oh, you're here!"

"Seeing me, you're surprised, aren't you!"

By this time, Rong Qikeng had almost reached her side. As he spoke, with two strides, he stood before her in an instant. Just as she hastily raised a flattering smile in confusion and panic, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her long hair, pulling her towards the outside of the chair.

"

Damn you!

"

He roared with anger.

"Slut!"

Raising his hand without a word, he slapped both sides of their faces with two loud slaps.

"Oh..."

He Yaya cried out in pain, her face slightly puffy from pregnancy and insomnia, twisting terribly. Her narrowed eyes and furrowed brows spoke volumes about her suffering. She was in pain, both on her face and in her stomach. Rong Qi's grip was too sudden and forceful; she felt a sharp pain in her scalp as she was dragged along with his movements. When her stomach bumped against the armrest of the chair, she broke out in a cold sweat and felt pain shooting through her whole body.

Rong Qi now looked at this face, feeling sick. "Slap—Slap—" Two more slaps were delivered, but he still felt unsatisfied. He cursed in his mouth, calling her "slut," "whore," while pressing her head against the computer screen, wishing that this corrupt woman could be destroyed along with the content on the webpage!

"Ah..."

He Ya screamed in pain, her head slamming heavily against the monitor. At the same time, her waist hit the hard desk, and suddenly, she felt another sharp pain in her stomach.

He Ya panicked and shrieked urgently, "My stomach, my stomach..."

She had to protect her stomach, no matter what. Her stomach couldn't be harmed, couldn't be harmed. The child in her belly was her root, her root!

Rong Qikeng, startled by her shout, came back to his senses and immediately fixed his gaze on her protruding belly. However, soon those media reports and malicious taunts, like filthy sewage, flooded into his heart again, plunging him back into a cold and heavy state.

With his palm spread wide, he pressed his five fingers firmly against her belly, pressing down with great malice.

"This child in my belly, is it mine! It must be another forgery again!! A virgin, haha, a damned virgin. You goddamn lying bitch!"

Suddenly, a surge of anger filled him. It felt like a nerve in his brain snapped. He thought back to his boasting in front of his friends, how he'd described He Jia's spoiled princess as falling for him and becoming his devoted lover. Now, everything seemed like a lie, a carefully constructed scheme. The entire He family, from top to bottom, was full of liars who had been deceiving him all along. How foolish he had been to be so proud, how naive to have placed so much trust in Rong's family! They had all played him for a fool. Perhaps the entire He family was watching his humiliation, laughing at him behind his back and calling him an idiot!

Such an idea was unbearable for him. He suddenly exerted force and pushed He Ya down. At the same time she collided with the table again, his foot followed up, unable to help himself, he kicked her heavily.

"Ah—"

He Ya moaned in pain, her body colliding with the table once more. Because of the lack of balance from her legs, she lost her footing and fell to the ground with her large belly. She also knocked over her chair, sending both the frame and cushion crashing into her. He Ya felt a surge of heat flowing between her legs.

She went insane, ignoring the pain. With both hands she desperately pushed Rong Qikeng away while kicking up with her foot at the same time, screaming in a hoarse voice.

"Oh, dear child, something terrible is about to happen..."

Tears streamed down her swollen face, winding and twisting as they flowed. Her complexion was pale, making her entire visage look like it had been submerged in water for days; soiled, and somewhat terrifying.

As soon as Rong Qi kicked out his leg, it went stiff.

He Yaya was shouting frantically at this time. "Come here, come here, come quickly..."

Old Madam He was being helped by the maid, A-mei, and she ran over, panting heavily. As soon as He Ya saw the old lady, she rushed to her side like seeing a savior.

"Grandma, save me, please save the children, oh no, please save the children..."

But because the motion was too violent, it brought on a sharp pain in her abdomen. Her face contorted heavily, she let out a low moan, and slumped back down. She felt a sudden increase in the fluid flowing between her legs, warm and wet, like she was losing her life force with every drop.

"Help... Help..."

He Ya was so panicked that she didn't notice anything, only knowing to cry. She helplessly placed her hand on her own stomach, but had no idea what to do. All the measures about first aid for a child during pregnancy that she had previously learned were completely overwhelmed by the complete emptiness in her mind.

Old Mrs. He was startled beyond measure. Her face, though she tried to control it, still wore a menacing and ferocious look. She immediately roared in anger.

"Rong Qi'heng, stop it!"

Upon regaining composure, he returned to a state of sanity.

The old woman rushed in, calling out incessantly.

"Amy, go and see the girl. You—"

"Pointing at a maid hiding by the door with one finger, he said, 'You go contact a doctor immediately.'"

Then, his voice became hoarse and rough as he bellowed, "Where's the confinement nanny Where is she Nanny... "

Then the old woman's voice choked. She saw Ah Mei lift He Ya's skirt to check the situation, and beneath the skirt was a pool of blood that was rapidly expanding at a visible speed. In just a few seconds, it became as large as a basin.

In this situation, it goes without saying that things are dangerous!

Old Mrs. He's mouth twitched, she raised her hand, and with trembling fingers, she just pointed at Rong Qikeng, saying a "you—" before her head buzzed, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted. Her face skin was still twitching, but what was frightening was that the corner of her mouth remained crooked, never returning to normal. Her barely closed eyes revealed only a blank whiteness!

It's very frightening!

Some people screamed, some shouted, some ran over to pull people away, some ran out to save people, some came running at the sound, and some, upon seeing this scene, turned and ran. The scene was chaotic for a moment. The entrance was even more of a mess, with everyone crowded there, sighing one after another, but it was just meaningless sighs. Everyone looked lost and bewildered, which made it impossible to even squeeze through the door.

The confinement nanny was called over and, after much difficulty, squeezed in. At the sight of He Ya's blood-red lower body, she didn't even have time to speak before her face paled half way.

"How are you!"

He Mother grabbed the hand of the confinement nanny, who had previously worked as a nurse in the hospital, as if she were a living Buddha.

The confinement nanny's heart had sunk to the bottom, but she didn't dare say it outright. She could only keep saying, "Hurry, hurry and take her to the hospital..."

Saying that, he hurried over to help.

Mrs. He thought things were looking up and cried with laughter, helping out too. The crowd surged forward, but unexpectedly, things became more and more chaotic.

The confinement nanny's scalp went numb all of a sudden, and she shouted urgently, "Come find someone strong, hold her! One person is enough, everyone else scatter, get out of the way, give He Ya space to breathe!"

He Mother, who always put her daughter first in everything, screamed upon hearing this, repeating the words and shouting for someone. But at this moment, where could they possibly find a strong and capable person immediately In this situation, even if He Mother wasn't particularly knowledgeable, she knew they were racing against time. Even winning a few seconds could potentially be a turning point.

He Ya could no longer speak from the pain. Her face was as pale as death, sweat pouring down her like rain, and her whole body was so weak that she couldn't even muster the strength to stand. Hearing someone calling out to her, all she could do was weakly turn her head, using the last flicker of hope in her eyes, to look at Rong Qi, who stood tall and imposing beside her.

He Mother felt the gaze and her heart immediately lit up. Without thinking, she commanded.

"Róng Qǐ Kēng, come hug the little girl, quick!"

Rong Qi's body froze instantly, unable to move. He stared at the pool of blood beneath He Ya, his eyes vacant. At that moment, two thoughts battled fiercely in his mind -- should he go to her, or not!

Hold her, he was going to save the child in her belly, but this woman who was so easily taken advantage of, what was the point of saving the child in her belly His son's mother, how could she be like this! This disgraceful woman didn't deserve to give birth to his child! But if he didn't save her, he would just watch helplessly as the child died. At that time, the He family wouldn't help him anymore. He hadn't reached the point of abdicating yet, he still had to plan for a while. If things went wrong with the He family too early, it would be very detrimental to him! But he couldn't stand this vile woman on the ground, and let the child be lost like this, it was a good opportunity, an excellent opportunity. And the ones who were in the wrong could only be the He family. Who made them all deceive him Besides, part of the He family's money had already been given to the Rong family, taking full responsibility for the loss. There was still some left, and he would figure out a way to make up for it. In this way, if the He family tore their face apart, they probably couldn't do much to him...

Just as his internal struggle reached its peak, an eerie silence descended upon the room. The only sound that could be heard was the gentle rise and fall of breaths. All eyes turned to Rong Qikeng. There he stood, this powerfully built man, utterly still and unmoving, radiating a chilling indifference that spoke volumes about his unwillingness to lend a hand.

Isn't he trying to watch the child cry!

This is his son, or maybe even two!

Does he dare!

But, he was totally doing it on purpose!

This idea chilled many people, and their expressions revealed a strange air.

He Mother's heart skipped a beat, she bit her lip tightly, and angrily shouted again, "Rong Qi-keng!"

His eyes pierced him like needles.

She was, after all, a Madam. Even if she had a genuine illness, her bearing would be impeccable. That face, devoid of any warmth, turned stern and looked straight at Du Caiyi. The imposing sight sent shivers down Rong Xin's spine. Her heart skipped a beat, and her brain buzzed—"whirr"—clearing up the previously chaotic thoughts as if a path had suddenly been paved through them.

No matter what, he has to do what he's supposed to do, or else people will talk. Besides, look at He Ya like that, I bet those two lumps in her belly won't be safe for long. Then why wouldn't he do this good deed!

Endure!

Muttering the word in his heart, he immediately stepped forward and gritted out two words: "I'll go!"

He nudged his mother-in-law gently aside, and in one swift motion, he scooped He Ya up into his arms while shouting loudly.

"Get a car!"

Some people breathed a sigh of relief, a hint of a smile on their faces; others raised an eyebrow, a sneer starting to form in their hearts.
