After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 253

After speaking, the man took a deep look at the young girl. Although Shen Ruxu was quite beautiful, compared to his little girl, she was still not in the same league.

In such a short time since they last met, how dare she suspect that he had another woman. He clearly hadn't done enough to give her a sense of security.

Displeased, Zhao Changdu lifted her chin and sternly asked, "Have I not told you before that you should believe every word I say?"

Gu Ying raised her clear and bright eyes to look at the man's strong and handsome face. "No, I believe the Prince."

"Since this is so, has Ying ever misunderstood me?"

"I..." Gu Ying had not lied. Somewhat embarrassed, she lowered her eyes slightly. "I didn't mean to misunderstand the Prince. I just...wasn't happy knowing about the existence of Miss Shen...and overthought things."

Seeing that he was displeased, she pulled up the corners of her mouth in a faint smile. "I know this isn't right, but I still can't control my thoughts from wandering. If the Prince is disgusted by me like this, I can leave at any time—"

"Leave at any time to do what?" Zhao Changdu was almost laughing from anger. He pulled her back to himself and asked sternly, "Who taught you to always think of escape when it comes to relationships? You are my proper and openly acknowledged wife. How dare you not even question me?"

"I—"

"You're currently carrying my child. If you dare say another word about leaving, I'll make it so you can't get out of bed for three days and nights." The man ground his teeth and fiercely bit her neck.

Gu Ying's body quivered slightly. Why was this man always biting her like a dog? He really enjoyed doing that.

She blankly looked at the unshaven man before her. He looked tired and disheveled, as if he hadn't slept for days. His dark stubble made him look even more masculine.

"Why aren't you speaking? Hmm?" Displeased, the man narrowed his eyes. Thinking she was still planning on leaving him, his anger flared irrepressibly. He pressed the girl onto the bed and eagerly kissed her, wishing he could press this girl who only knew how to anger him into his own body. "Gu Ying, you are not allowed to leave me."

His strength was too great, yet he carefully avoided her stomach.

Nestled in his embrace, Gu Ying quickly had her breath swept away by his kiss.

Breathless, her face flushed red as she begged for mercy, "Enough... Changdu... I didn't say anything about leaving either, that was your own overthinking. Let me go first... my stomach hurts...."

Hearing this, the man's whole body tensed up. No longer having any other thoughts, he anxiously stopped his actions and clumsily caressed her belly, "Does it still hurt now? How big is he now? Can he already hear us talking?"

Seeing his cautious manner, Gu Ying couldn't help laughing. "Seeing you act like a father is really surprising."

Who could have imagined that the blood-bathed War God of Dong Li on the battlefield would have this sort of pitifully adorable reaction when facing the little life in her belly?

Zhao Changdu deliberately furrowed his brows and lightly flicked her nose. He doted, "Don't laugh. This is my first time being a father. You aren't a first-time mother, are you? You probably won't be much better than me either. You'll still need me to protect you mother and child."

Gu Ying guiltily exhaled, "On this journey... I really have been negligent..."

With her irregular cycle and lack of morning sickness, plus the bleeding, she hadn't even considered pregnancy...

Now that she thought about it, she had been fighting, traveling, eating outdoors, and sleeping without shelter throughout the journey. It was a miracle that this child had survived!

Zhao Changdu deeply looked into her eyes for a long moment. Putting his arm around the girl's shoulders, his fingers gently pinched her body's soft flesh. "It's also my fault for letting you worry and making you come so far to find me."

He would remember this sentiment and be doubly good to his little girl in the future.

Still frightened, Gu Ying let out a breath. "Changdu, how good is Miss Shen's medical skills?"

Zhao Changdu lowered his head and kissed the top of the little girl's head. "Her skills are divine. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken her in as an honored guest."

Gu Ying frowned, then raised a brow. "No wonder everyone says that you treat Miss Shen differently. So it turns out that it's because of her medical skills."

The corners of Zhao Changdu's lips lifted into a smile. "Not completely."

Gu Ying raised her head, curiously asking, "Then what else?"

Zhao Changdu lowered his eyes. Seeing the bewitching sparkling eyes of the little girl, his heart softened. "Is my lady feeling jealous?"

Annoyed, Gu Ying pushed him. "No, do I seem like someone who gets jealous easily?"

Zhao Changdu laughed softly, his fingers unconsciously caressing the girl's shoulders. His voice lowered, "She is Yu Gu's disciple."

"Oh?" Gu Ying's smile faded and was replaced by a cold look. "Then it seems she must also specialize in obstetrics and gynecology."

Sensing something wrong, Zhao Changdu asked, "What's the matter?"

The corners of Gu Ying's mouth lifted into a faint smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Changdu doesn't know that on my way to find you, I ran into Miss Shen once before. To save her, I almost hemorrhaged badly. At the time, hearing she was a doctor, I asked her to examine me, but she said she wasn't skilled in obstetrics and gynecology. She even prescribed me medicine to invigorate the blood and dissolve stasis."

Hearing this, Zhao Changdu's brows furrowed dangerously.

For pregnant women, medicine to invigorate the blood and dissolve stasis were strictly forbidden. Even if she didn't specialize in obstetrics and gynecology, she should at least know such common knowledge.

Moreover, Gu Ying had almost bled heavily. It was a miracle that this child was still alive! 𝗳r𝚎e𝘄𝐞b𝚗𝗼ve𝚕.co𝗺

Gu Ying now completely confirmed that Shen Ruxu had tried to harm her child and only had cold laughter remaining in her heart.

Zhao Changdu's expression chilled. He soothingly kissed her forehead. "Be good. You rest first. I'm going out for a bit and will come back to accompany you in a while."

Lying on his bed, Gu Ying watched his departing figure. "Changdu, if her actions were unintentional, I can forgive her once, but I definitely won't forgive her a second time. This child is my life. For the sake of our child, I won't show her mercy again either."

Zhao Changdu's expression was icy cold, his eyes filled with chilling air. Matching the cold look in the little girl's eyes, the corners of his lips rose. "Ying is wrong. This is also my child."

A freezing, bone-chilling killing intent swirled deeply within the man's profound eyes.

Relieved, Gu Ying closed her eyes and once again fell asleep...

...

Leaving the tent, Zhao Changdu's long eyes narrowed slightly. His handsome face was cold and white like jade. Tall and straight, his gaze was sinister and mercilessly cold.

Having followed his Lord for many years, it was very rare for Chief An to see such obvious and externally revealed violent emotions from his master.

This night, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful.

His expressionless face ordered someone to call Shen Ruxu over.

In the pitch dark night, there was only one bean-sized oil lamp lit in the tent.

Her heart trembling with fear, Shen Ruxu walked into the tent that everyone usually used for discussing matters. Beneath the dim, yellow candlelight, she involuntarily weakened at the knees from fright at catching just a glimpse of the bone-chilling killing intent on the face of the man under the lamplight.

"Prince..."

"I heard you've taken my Ying's pulse before?"

His light tone was tranquil and coldly aloof, making people feel uneasy inside.
