Chapter 131: What else can I do

"Ah! What do you want to do? Let go! I want to get out of the car." Qi Chuyan grabbed his face. He easily grabbed her hands and pressed her against the back of his car.

"Qi Chuyan, I'll give you a piece of advice. Control your temper, or you'll suffer." He patted her cheek.

Qi Chuyan replied fearlessly, "Then I'll give you a piece of advice too. Don't come out and embarrass yourself if you're ugly."

He suddenly laughed. "Ugly? You're the first one to say that I'm ugly."

Why did he think this was so funny. He was crazy.

Liao Xing suddenly let go of her. He put a hand on the steering wheel and smiled. "I'll take you somewhere."

"Hey, did I say I'm going? Let me out of the car."

Her protest was invalid. He was ready to teach this woman a lesson.

* * * * * *

"Did you track her?" Lu Xiangdong asked his assistant calmly.

The assistant shook his head. "I was going to track her, but Chengwu Su seemed to have left her phone somewhere."

Lu Xiangdong's face instantly darkened. He had really underestimated her.

"Think of a way to find her. Go down." Lu Xiangdong sat helplessly on the sofa. Su Mianmian must have run away because she wanted to take the risk of giving birth to the child. Why was this woman so detestable?

Lu Wenzhong heard about what had happened and rushed to Lu Xiangdong's villa overnight.

"Dad, why are you here so late?"

"Is Su Mianmian pregnant?" Lu Wenzhong's gaze suddenly became exceptionally sharp as he turned to look at Lu Xiangdong.

Lu Xiangdong frowned and asked, "Who told you all this? Don't listen to people's nonsense."

"The hospital director told me. Did you think that such a big matter can be hidden from me? Where is she now? She must have the baby, the Lu family cannot end. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl. The most important thing is the child's safety." Lu Wenzhong raised his head and sighed.

He clenched his fists. He cared more about Su Mianmian's safety.

"Dad, we can't keep the child. It will threaten Mianmian's life. I can't let Mianmian take this risk," he said firmly.

Lu Wenzhong glared at him. "It's just a woman. You can have any woman you want, but that child is different. I want a grandson."

"I also want my woman."

They argued until their faces turned red. The servant did not dare to go forward. He shouted from afar, "Chairman, do you want some tea?"

"Send me back, I'm not drinking anymore." Lu Wenzhong waved his hand and prepared to leave angrily.

Lu Xiangdong shouted, "I advise you to let go because I won't let that child be born."

Lu Wenzhong turned around and looked at him. "Then it depends on whether you have the ability or not."

His heart skipped a beat. What exactly did his father want to do?

"Butler, drive my car out." He could not sit still and wait for death. He wanted to find Su Mianmian as soon as possible.

After having run away for the entirety of the day, Su Mianmian finally let out a sigh of relief. She felt that she should be safe for now, but it was a pity about Ouyang Que's phone. She was afraid that Lu Xiangdong would catch up, so she asked Ouyang Que to throw the phone away.

Ouyang Que did not feel that it was a pity for his phone. He just felt that running away aimlessly was really tiring.

"Mianmian, where are we going now? Have you thought about it?"

"Funeral parlor." Su Mianmian would not give up on the funeral parlor.

Ouyang Que could not help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Could she not find a better place to work?

Even selling fruits was better than working in a funeral parlor!

"Mianmian, I think for the sake of the child, you should change your job. That job is really not suitable for you."

...

Su Mianmian sighed and caressed her belly with one hand. She said helplessly, "Help me find a hotel to stay at. Let's talk about the future later. It's tiring to travel like this. I'm afraid that the child won't be able to take it."

Ouyang Que nodded in agreement.

"There's a hotel ahead. Let's stay there tonight."

"Us? Don't tell me you're not going back? Why are you following me?"

"I'm worried about you. Look at you. If you accidentally fall down or suddenly get sick, won't that be very dangerous? If I'm by your side, I can still take care of you."

Su Mianmian felt that what he said made sense. Even if she didn't think about herself, she should think about the child in her belly. It was always a good thing to have a man by her side to take care of her.

"Alright, you can stay. It's just that-"

Ouyang Que interrupted, "I know what you're worried about. That's not a problem."

There was no problem, so what was she still hesitating about?

The hotel was not as nice as her home. Ouyang Que asked for a very large room with two single bed rooms, so it would be easier for her to take care of herself and the child.

After a full day of driving, Su Mianmian felt very tired. The moment she touched the bed, she wanted to sleep.

"Mianmian, what do you want to eat? You can sleep after you eat." Ouyang Que tidied up the room. Su Mianmian closed her eyes and replied, "No need, I don't want to eat. Let me sleep."

Ouyang Que saw that she seemed really tired, so he did not disturb her and let her sleep.

Su Mianmian fell asleep very quickly, but she had a terrible dream. She dreamed that she was being chased by someone who wanted to cut open her stomach and take her child. She struggled hard in the dream. She sweated.

"No, no, don't come over!" She sat up, suddenly awake. Her face was pale and her lips trembled slightly. She looked around and realized that she was no longer in her home. She was somewhere else.

Ouyang Que brought in a basin of water. He squatted down and held her hand. He asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"Yes, I dreamed that I was being chased by someone. It was so scary." Even though she had woken up from the dream, she still felt very scared.

"It's alright now. Wash your face and go back to sleep."

But she was no longer sleepy. The dream had felt all too real. She would not dare to lie down anymore.

Seeing that she was still in a daze, he patted her back. "Do you want to get up and eat something?"

She nodded.

"You rest. I'll help you bring the food in."

Just as he was about to leave the room, she called out to him softly, "Ouyang Que, thank- thank you."

Ouyang Que smiled and said, "Silly, why are you being so polite with me?"

She smiled bitterly. She was fortunate to have Ouyang Que by her side. Otherwise, she would have definitely had a hard time. It turned out that carrying a child was not as simple as she had imagined.

* * * * * * *

Lu Xiangdong reached out and pressed his temples. He had a terrible headache. Nobody had brought back good news yet. Su Mianmian seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

One thing he was sure of now was that Ouyang Que must have been by her side. He had sent people to the Ouyang family to get a confession and found out that Ouyang Que had not been home for the past few days. The only explanation was that Ouyang Que was helping Su Mianmian escape.

He had sent almost all of his subordinates to investigate every place he could think of, but there was no trace of Su Mianmian.

The assistant knocked on the door and came in.

"President Lu, Miss Zhu Di is looking for you."

He nodded and asked him to call Zhu Di in.

Zhu Di had learned a lot from Li Mingzhe. She was looking for Lu Xiangdong because she wanted to report to him. She wanted to go to France with Li Mingzhe on a business trip.

"Zhu Di, I heard from my assistant that you're looking for me?" Lu Xiangdong pulled his thoughts back and looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di walked over and said with a smile, "CEO Lu, how are you feeling recently? I want to ask you about something."

Lu Xiangdong raised his eyebrows and gestured for her to say it.

"CEO Lu, I want to go to France with Li Mingzhe on a business trip. I wondered if you could approve it?" She rested her hands on the desk.

Lu Xiangdong nodded. "Go ahead."

"CEO Lu, I didn't expect you to agree so readily! Thank you so much." Zhu Di held his arm and shook it.

"Why have you started calling me President Lu? Didn't you call me senior before?" Lu Xiangdong looked at her.

She retracted her hand and smiled awkwardly.

"My assistant wouldn't allow me to call you senior. There are too many people in the company, so I was told that I should be more careful." She pursed her lips.

He smiled. "Don't worry too much about that. You can call me whatever you like. Prepare for your business trip."

"President Lu, aren't you going to ask me why I'm going on a business trip with Li Mingzhe?" He was unconcerned about her. Zhu Di pouted unhappily.

"I'm not going to ask because I trust your reasons for going. I feel very reassured about you and him." In reality, he was busy looking for Su Mianmian. He didn't want to care about anything else.

"Oh, actually, the business trip is fake. It's real if you want to go out and play. CEO Lu, you're not saying that I'm not doing my job properly, are you?"

...

Could it be that she wouldn't go if he told her?

"You came to my company to work. You didn't come to help me earn results in the first place."

She was a little embarrassed. When she first joined the company, she had only thought of this as a fun thing.

"CEO Lu, you already know everything about me, so why did you let me join the company?"

"Consider it as repayment," he said bluntly.

She immediately lowered her shoulders and sighed. "Alright then, CEO Lu. I'll go prepare for my business trip. You go ahead first."
