lecherous friend-**er! I brought you gifts out of kindness, and you actually locked me out Get your ass in gear and open the door!""Huh"Lu Ningxi stopped in her tracks and walked back to the door, "H...“Take these flowers out and distribute them. From now on, refuse any gifts that Yu Chengnan sends.” She couldn't give Yu Chengnan any emotional response, so she couldn't drag things on any longer. It was better to be clear upfront to avoid endless gossip later when the child was born.

Yes.

Luningxi didn't stay any longer.

However, her phone rang insistently at this moment. Luo Ningxi walked towards the elevator. The caller ID displayed Yu Chengnan's name, a name that seemed to cling to her like a stubborn shadow.

"Hello"

"Xixi, did you receive the roses and desserts I sent you Do you still like them"

Yu Chengnan seemed like a lover lost in the sweetness of a new romance, even his voice dripped with tenderness, "I've booked flowers and gifts for the next month."

"Yu Chengnan, you don't need to keep doing these futile things. I don't like it, and I don't need it!" Luo Ningxi's temples jumped erratically, speaking helplessly, "I've made myself very clear. There's no possibility between us. That night... was a complete mistake. Since it was wrong, we should set things right. Let's go back to being friends, okay Don't let us end up not even being friends."

At the other end of the phone, Yu Chengnan's face suddenly turned cold!

If Li Bichen hadn't taken advantage of his amnesia to forcefully marry Luo Ningxi, how could Luo Ningxi have said they were a mistake

Yu Chengnan couldn't help clenching his fists, suppressing the anger. "Are you free this afternoon I want to invite you out for dinner, as a way to end this relationship."

Lu Ningxi didn't actually want to see him. Every time they met, she would be dragged back to the accident at the hotel two days ago, and Li Bochen and his hurtful words.

Just as she was about to hang up, Yu Chengnan on the other end, as if he had expected it all along, spoke again.

"Xixi, someone sent me some photos, they captured our backs as we entered and left the hotel that night. They seem to be trying to blackmail me..."

"Photos" Luo Ningxi stiffened at the mention, her heart pounding. The Luo Group had just regained its footing, and another negative scandal would plunge it back into crisis.

Suddenly, Luo Ningxi's face turned cold.

"Time address me, this afternoon, I will come over."

"Okay."

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, at RM Mall, Luo Ningxi arrived at Zhiyu Restaurant as promised.

The restaurant is very atmospheric, located in a shopping mall and using a semi-open design. The work station is inside, and the seats are mainly outside.

Luo Ningxi had just arrived, and Yu Chengnan was holding a bouquet of red roses, gently offering them over. "Xi Xi,"

"...I don't like flowers." Loningxi refused to accept, "Let's talk about business first."

"Then I'll put it aside for now."

Yu Chengnan's eyebrows seemed to be a little hurt, he put it on the seat next to Luo Ningxi.

He let out a soft sigh, raised his eyes again, and spoke in a gentle but helpless tone, "Xixi, I know you're still upset about what happened a few days ago, but this matter was also unavoidable for me. At that time, you were poisoned and clung to me, so I had no choice but to..."

"Stop talking, I know I couldn't control myself..."

Luo Ningxi closed her eyes, she didn't want to hear those details, but thinking about it carefully, Yu Chengnan had saved her back then, otherwise she would have fallen into that Mr. Ge's hands.

But... as night fell and the city quieted, she couldn't help but feel agitated. She wondered why he didn't take her to the hospital Or maybe soak her in ice water

She didn't want to suspect his ulterior motives, but there was still some awkwardness. She simply chose not to bring it up again!

Since it was an accident, the past is in the past. I'm not blaming you, and I've already set new goals for my life now.

She subconsciously covered her abdomen. As a mother, she would be strong and protect her child, ensuring a safe birth and providing a good environment for the child to grow up in!

Yu Chengnan caught sight of her action, his eyes darkening instantly. A sharp, resentful light flashed across Lu Ningxi's face.

"Right now, I just want to focus on making the Luo Group flourish. I'm not in the mood for romance, so your gift has caused me some trouble! I hope you won't do this again." Luo Ningxi sounded apologetic, but her attitude was firm.

"Okay, I understand. I won't force you." Yu Chengnan suppressed a fleeting coldness, still wearing a gentle mask, and said softly, "But a child needs a father after birth. Children from single-parent families inevitably have some flaws. I don't mind being his dad and giving him and you the best warmth!"

Luo Ningxi fell silent. She could give her child all the maternal love, but... paternal love was something she couldn't provide.

"When the child grows up, I'll tell him the truth and let him make his own decision!" Luo Ningxi said softly, afraid that Yu Chengnan would say something else that would make her hesitate, so she changed the subject, "By the way, what about those photos"urge to run away immediately and asked Mr. Li in a hushed voice, "Mr. Li, you can be discharged tomorrow for recuperation, but there are still some procedures…"Elder Li withdrew his gaze from Li Biche...
