Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 456 - Any Sign?

At some distance from the police station, a car's honk buzzed, stopping An Yueqin in her tracks. She looked at the black Porshe and saw Keung inside through the glass windows.

The window rolled down, and Keung turned his head. "Aunt."

She said nothing.

"You almost got us into trouble tonight. Seriously, I always knew that your 'alone' time would prove dangerous for us one day. I wanted to hide you, but now look what happened. Yunru got his hands on you. We were forced to give your address, and now you would be under his radar. Why did you have to do this? Don't you want to avenge your daughter?"

An Yueqin narrowed her eyes.

"If you want to destroy my dear Grandpa, then firstly, you shouldn't be in jail. You should be extremely cautious now. Now I have to take care of your driving license and neighbors to stand as witnesses in your favor," he sighed.

He stared at her and slowly said, "Aunt, I hope you don't get overwhelmed after meeting Uncle and cousin Caihong. I don't want you to take any stupid step in your emotional state."

"Keung…" her voice turned cold. "You don't have to worry about that."

"How can I not? You are not his wife anymore even though Yunru addressed you as such. You shouldn't expose anything to him that will make trouble for me."

A glint passed through Keung's eyes. "I want to win against Han Zhiyuan at any cost, and I might need your help in doing that. It's a win-win for you, isn't it? After all, he couldn't do pretty much anything when cousin Caihong was…"

She froze.

"Destroying the Han family is in your interests as much as it is in mine."

Keung closed the window and drove off, leaving An Yueqin standing alone at the road.

—

Days passed by quickly and where Keung faced his own challenges in the Han Corps, Xinyi and Zhiyuan were busy with their new company.

"Zhiyuan! How dare you!" A certain angry voice roared in the Han villa.

Xinyi and Zhiyuan exchanged glances with him scratching his chin. "This won't be good…"

Liang barged in with a furious expression laced on his face.

"Hey-"

Before Zhiyuan could even speak, Liang grabbed his shirt and glared at him. "You are forming a new company, and you didn't even tell me!? Is this how you throw me out of your friend? Your best friend! Let me punch you real nice!"

Xinyi immediately intervened. "Liang, Liang! Stop it. Zhiyuan is finally recovering!" She complained.

"Well then let me put him back in the hospital," he sneered.

Her mouth twitched. "Liang, you already know our situation. How come you are saying otherwise?"

He looked hurt. "Doesn't a new startup need investments? But you didn't come to me! This is as good as not telling me about it!"

Zhiyuan grinned. "Leina looks just like you when she pouts."

He beamed. "I know right? She is the sweetest, adorable angel on this earth- Hey! Don't change the subject!"

Zhiyuan clicked his tongue. "Tch. You figured it out. You have grown wiser."

He was speechless. "Excuse me? I was always intelligent!"

"I don't think so Pharma boy," Han Huizhong, who passed by the corridor, commented. "You were so ditzy and useless back in the college days."

"..."

"Grandpa, I am almost thirty now. Don't call me Pharma boy. It's so childish."

"I will call you whatever I want. Who are you to stop me? My house, my nicknames."

His brow twitched.

"Anyway. Where is your wife? Got divorced?"

He was horrified. "Grandpa! We have a very loving relationship!"

"I need to hear that from her mouth, not yours," he smirked. "So, where is she?"

Liang proudly smiled. "Well…"

"Don't create suspense, Pharma boy, or I will throw you out."

"You don't give me any freedom, don't you? Hmph! Ah Cy is at home. She is resting."

Xinyi widened her eyes. "Resting? Why? What happened? Is she alright? She didn't tell me anything!"

"Calm down, Xinyi. Ah Cy is fine. She is not injured."

"Then why is she resting?"

"Morning sickness. I am proud to tell you that I am going to be a father again!"

She gasped. "What!? Oh my God…C-Congratulations! I am so happy for you!" She eagerly hugged Liang.

Zhiyuan brightened. "That's great news! Congratulations, buddy."

"Thanks! I am so excited for my second angelic daughter~"

Xinyi laughed. "I bet Ah Cy would be wishing for a son."

His face darkened. "I don't want a son! I only want a daughter."

Han Huizhong gave his congratulations too. "Pharma boy is becoming a father again," he shot a sharp stare at Zhiyuan, "When will you, my dear grandson? Will I ever get to hold my great-granddaughter?"

Xinyi blushed. "Grandpa!"

Liang grinned. "Grandpa, this could be a sign. It was the same last time. First Ah Cy's pregnancy news came and then Xinyi's four years back though Siying was born first. Maybe, this time it would be the same too!"

Zhiyuan beamed. "It could be that way…Xinyi and I have already been working hard for some time now. Maybe our little bun too-"

She hit him hard with her elbow. "Zhiyuan!"

"What? I am just guessing that Liang might be right."

Han Huizhong suspiciously looked at Xinyi's belly.

"G-Grandpa! I am not pregnant."

"How do you know? Didn't Zhiyuan say that you two have been working hard?"

Her face reddened.

"For the second time, Pharma boy's coming to our house could be auspicious."

Liang was speechless. "Only second time? What about the other times I had fun here!?" He asked, aggrieved.

Han Huizhong sneered. "You were the only one who had fun. I was simply tolerating you."

"Y-You…Am I not like your grandson?" He cried.

"No."

"..."

That was a lethal strike to his heart.

Now Zhiyuan was looking at Xinyi's belly too. "Maybe we should do a pregnancy test~"

She coughed hard. "I am not pregnant, Zhiyuan."

"How do you know?" He asked the same question again.

"I would definitely feel it, especially morning sickness like Ah Cy is having. I have been pregnant before.. I would know the signs."
