“Honey.”

“Yeah?”

“I feel I’ve brought you lots of trouble after you married me… Ha, I feel I might have been a jinx in my last lifetime.”

“Nonsense. You’re the greatest treasure in my life.”

Qin Chu didn’t want Huo Mian, who was about to be in labor, to be troubled by these thoughts, but he knew now was indeed an eventful period.

Then they returned to the ward. While Huo Mian stayed in the hospital to take care of her mother, Qin Chu went to the company, but he left 12 bodyguards to protect Huo Mian.

Yeah, you didn’t read it wrong—12 bodyguards.

Usually he sent six of his best bodyguards to protect Huo Mian, but this time, probably because of the frequent appearances of the guy resembling Jing De, he doubled the number.

The bodyguards were stationed both in and out of the ward. They included two excellent female bodyguards who’d stay with Huo Main when she changed clothes or went to the washroom.

Obviously, Qin Chu was on the highest-level guard and put his wife under protection 24/7.

Meanwhile, he planted more guards in and around South Hill Manor and the twins’ school.

Qin Chu hadn’t been so tense before; instinctively, he felt a dangerous figure was sneaking up to them.

They might have set a trap and were waiting for their prey.

On his way to the company, Qin Chu got a call. Seeing the familiar number, he lowered his voice when he answered it.

“Yan.”

Lu Yan hadn’t contacted them for a long while, so Qin Chu knew Lu Yan was up to something.

“Brother-in-law, I’ll keep it short. First of all, I don’t have that secretary’s daughter.”

“I know.” Qin Chu knew she referred to Zeng Rou.

“Second of all, the rumors say I have her. I don’t want to take the blame and will investigate the issue. But you must be on extra guard; I’m afraid some people will target my sister for the bounty when they find they can’t get me.”

“Okay.”

Qin Chu knew Secretary Zeng had been privately searching for his daughter with government forces; besides, he even put up a bounty of 80 million yuan for Lu Yan’s head, so many people were searching for Lu Yan to rescue Zeng Rou and get the money. Some might turn their eyes to Huo Mian because her identity was no longer a secret.

“I might go to Southeast Asia to handle some business; if it goes well, I’ll find a chance to go back and see my sister.”

“Now is an eventful period and you still want to come back?” Qin Chu frowned in disapproval.

“It’ll be fine. They can’t get me.”

That said, Lu Yan hung up.

Due to their different personalities, Qin Chu would never like women like Lu Yan; luckily, she was only his sister-in-law.

Her overbearing and arrogant personality didn’t allow anyone to question her decisions, giving great pressure to people around her.

So, Qin Chu admired Qiao Fei who had loved Lu Yan for years.

Qiao Fei seemed to be used to everything Lu Yan did…

– On a private plane –

“Psycho Qiao, do you think I should go back to China first and kill that old guy who wronged me?” Lu Yan had a toothpick in her hand and on the tip of the toothpick was a small piece of watermelon.

“He’s a poor guy who lost his daughter, and you still want to kill him? What’s… your logic?” Qiao Fei replied as he continued playing the mobile game.
