Not long after Lin Shengxia left, she saw Ye Yining's car speeding towards her.
The sound of brakes suddenly rang out, and Lin Shengxia's tense nerves only relaxed when she saw her friend's face.
I opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.
Ye Yining noticed with her sharp eyes that the wound on Lin Shengxia's neck had been exposed as Lin Shengxia moved. Her delicate fingers suddenly gripped the steering wheel tightly, and she felt a surge of anger.
"Was it that bastard Gu Zekai who hurt you?"
Ye Yining's voice was urgent and sharp, and Lin Shengxia couldn't help but frown, then covered the back of her hand with her cool little hand.
"I injured myself."
As she spoke, she looked up at the rearview mirror, tossing the ruffles of her collar aside. Looking at the cut on her once-clean neck, now marred by a sharp scalpel, she sighed, realizing she had gone too far.
"Shengxia, you knew all along that Gu Zekai would make a move against you, didn't you? That's why you sent me that kind of text message. That's why you could be so calm?"
Ye Yining's questions came like a barrage of bullets, and Lin Shengxia's slightly pale face showed a genuine smile. She knew she had upset her friend.
Looking at the phone Ye Yining extended, a text message from Lin Shengxia was clearly displayed on the screen.
"If I disappear, notify the media!" Calculating the time, it turned out that this message was sent before Lin Shengxia was kidnapped.
"It's a pity that I'm not composed enough, so you're the only one who can help me."
Lin Shengxia casually took the phone, and after a simple swipe, the text message was deleted, becoming a secret that no one but the two of them would ever know again.
"Have you ever considered that if Gu Zekai knew you were scheming against him like this, he would stop at nothing to get back at you!"
Ye Yining couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Lin Shengxia. If anything went wrong today, she would be the one in trouble!
Do you think he doesn't know now?
Lin Shengxia's fair face was calm, and her long eyelashes covered the indifference in her eyes.
"Fortunately, I won the father of my child for myself!" Lin Shengxia said with a slight parting of her lips, but she was not as happy as one might expect.
"Shengxia, you weren't planning this all along, were you?" With a series of thoughts swirling in her mind, Ye Yining looked at Lin Shengxia in surprise.
"I gave Gu Zekai a chance. If he hadn't insisted on getting rid of the child in my womb, I wouldn't have resorted to such methods to scheme against him!"
Lin Shengxia did not answer the question directly, but these few sentences were enough to explain it.
Lin Shengxia gently stroked her still-flat belly with her slender fingers. Her expression was calm, but her words were cold.
Is it worth it in the sweltering summer?
Can you really expect to get a sweet result from going to great lengths and scheming for a man who doesn't love you?
"Yi Ning, I have my reasons!" Lin Shengxia said, her words filled with suppressed emotions, which were anything but joyful.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll take you to meet someone—I was really startled when they called me earlier!" As if to change the mood, Ye Yining started the car.

Upon reaching the destination, the cold sea breeze ruffled her hair.
Upon opening the car door and seeing the person not far away, Lin Shengxia's eyes were filled with surprise—
