looked at her eyes welling up with tears, but stubbornly refusing to fall. He couldn't help but think of the morning after they had slept together.She was the same, but compared to before, there was..."Depression This can't be true!" Li Bichen frowned even tighter, still unwilling to believe that Luo Ningxi would have depression!

"Being confined here day in and day out with no friends or social activities, let alone being pregnant, would make even a kitten or puppy ill from boredom."

Laura had tried her best to speak softly, but she couldn't help but lower her voice under the man's sharp and piercing gaze. "Besides, this is typical prenatal depression. If emotions aren't controlled, it will definitely affect the baby in my womb, Young Master Si, you must think this through."

Li Bochen's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but recall the maid saying that Luo Ningxi had been acting very strangely lately. She even went to the beach in the middle of the night, and there were often low sobs coming from her room!

If all of this is true, then his neglect is slowly worsening her condition...

Li Bochen grew increasingly agitated. "I'm going to check on her."

"By the way, there's something else I found…"

Laura was about to say something else, but Li Bochen had already pushed the door open and walked into the room. Laura's second half of the sentence was cut off by a door. She helplessly rubbed her forehead. Mr. Li, this is caring gone wrong!

Actually, she wanted to say that Miss Luo's injuries weren't as serious as they seemed...

In the room, Lu Ningxi had already woken up.

The doctors had bandaged her wound and given her an IV. When Li Bichen came in, she was weakly leaning against the headboard, her fair cheeks devoid of any color.

As the man's footsteps slowly approached, Lu Ningxi's apricot eyes trembled slightly. She rolled over and faced away from him in silent protest.

Li Bochen saw that she was awake and unconsciously let out a breath.

When his gaze fell on her wrist wrapped in gauze, or he clenched his palm irritably, "Is this your new protest method Suicide"

Luo Ningxi's body trembled slightly, "I don't want to see you, get out!"

Li Bochen tried his best to keep his voice calm and composed. "The doctor said you need to stay positive. Staying pessimistic is not good for you or the child. We can talk about it properly."

“An optimistic mood You think I, like a caged bird imprisoned by you, could still maintain a good mood You want me to have a proper conversation with you Fine, let me go now!” Luoningxi slowly propped herself up and sat up, raising her eyes to sneer, “If you can’t do that, then you can leave now!”

The coldness and determination in her eyes made Li Bichen's face even gloomier, "I didn't say I wouldn't let you go, the prerequisite is that you safely give birth to the child."

"Imprison me for this child Fine, then let's go all out and die together!" Luo Ningxi scoffed, suddenly raising her hand without warning, and ripped the needle delivering nutrients from her back.

Blood spurted from the needle, flowing down his slender wrist and dripping onto the pristine sheets.

"Lo Ningxi! Are you insane!"

Li Bochen's face changed abruptly, and he immediately reached out to grasp her palm and press down on the acupuncture point for her.

Luo Ningxi, however, seemed oblivious to the pain, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Yes, I am insane. Rather than being imprisoned by you, having my child controlled from birth, I would rather take my child and seek freedom and liberation!"

Her obsessive look was just like Li Bichen's when he disregarded everything to elope. Li Bichen felt as if his heart had been ripped out by a sharp blade, could it be that she was truly depressed to the point of madness

This realization made Li Bochen's breath hitch again. He didn't say anything else, silently got up and left the room.

Lu Ningxi glanced at his departing figure as the last rays of sunlight faded. She lowered her head to look at the purplish needle marks left by Li Bichen's forceful grip, her indifferent and empty eyes gradually focusing. It seemed... the ploy of feigning pain still worked on him.

Baby, don't blame mommy, mommy has to take you away from here!

……

Outside, a corridor.

Li Bochen walked out of the room with a cold face, and the doctor and maids unconsciously lowered their heads.

Li Bochen's cold gaze swept across the crowd, and he warned in a deep voice, "From now on, everyone must keep an eye on Madam. If even a scratch appears on her body, or if a drop of blood is shed, you won't need to live in this world anymore."

The door behind him was ajar, and a cold, harsh voice, thick with an oppressive weight, seeped into Luo Ningxi's ears.

And everyone else shivered, hastily and respectfully nodding their heads.

Luo Ningxi tightened her grip on the blanket. She knew this man was deliberately saying it for her to hear!

What a despicable act!

Li Bochen finished speaking, and strode away.

Laura immediately followed him, questioning in confusion, "Mr. Li, did you intentionally say that to Miss Luo She can't be stimulated right now. How could you..."

“You underestimate her! Depression The Luo family has gone through so many changes and she doesn't seem depressed. Maybe, she's just waiting for me to soften my heart!” Li Bichen coldly interrupted her. Although he said that, a trace of worry still flashed across his brow.

He didn't believe that Luo Ningxi would develop depression, but the moment he held Luo Ningxi's cold body today, he admitted he was really scared!

He was afraid she might really leave him if things went badly.

Damn woman!

Li Bochen sat impatiently in front of his computer for a long time before finally finding Nan Hanchuan's WeChat and dialing his phone.lly opened her computer and dropped into Weibo. Sure enough, as soon as she clicked in, she saw a large line of text."Shocking! The wealthy heiress kisses a duck! Is this a distortion of human nature,...
