n place forever. I have you now, and you are my home."If you're really worried, we could also have a simple wedding ceremony to make it public. That way, Yu Chengnan probably wouldn't be so bold as to...Mu Xi Yin continued, "I came to tell you this, and I'm very conflicted. Because a while back I even specifically went to find Miss Luo, selfishly hoping she would stay away from the Imperial City forever so she wouldn't affect you anymore. But as soon as I heard she might be in trouble, I couldn't help but come to you. I'm afraid you'll regret it later."

"Bao Chen, whether you believe it or not, I really love you. Even if I have to accept another woman for you…"

Li Bichen's ears were buzzing, he couldn't hear a word she was saying.

The moment he picked up his phone, what caught his eye was Ning Xi's call log—the call he had deliberately waited a long time to answer!

The last crackle on the phone... could it be that her phone was broken

He didn't even get that crucial call!

During the time he deliberately didn't answer her calls, she must have been so scared!

Overwhelming guilt and anxiety gnawed at Li Bochen's nerves, his eyes blazing with a horrifying crimson. He didn't have time to think it over before he yanked his hand away from Mu Xiyin's grip and scrambled back into the car!

Mu Xiyin originally wanted to follow, but the black Rolls-Royce, like a phantom, sped away instantly!

The tires screeched against the ground, and Li Bochen's small arm bulged with veins as he gripped the steering wheel tightly. His mind was consumed by the image of Luo Ningxi being kidnapped, and he had to find her as soon as possible!

Whatever it takes! Find her immediately!

Mu Xiyin watched the car drive away, eventually becoming a black dot that disappeared. She coldly curled her red lips, I bet you're rushing over now, only to collect the body of Luo Ningxi, right

……

In the midst of barren mountains, Luo Ning followed the path along the creek for what seemed like an eternity. It wasn't until a sharp pain in her abdomen grew increasingly intense that she was forced to stop, clutching her stomach and gasping for breath against the trunk of a tree.

Her hands were still tied behind her back, if she kept running like this even if she could hold on, the baby would definitely not be able to!

This goddamn bitch! She almost killed us. We'll catch her in a while, just wait and see how I deal with her!

"Boss, that pregnant woman can't have gone far. Out here in the middle of nowhere, we'll catch her soon enough!"

The sound of the kidnappers' voices drifted from afar, instantly causing Lon Ningxi's heart to leap into her throat!

How did these people catch up so quickly!

Lu Ningxi's heart was burning with anxiety, she could only keep running deeper. Just when her energy was about to be completely drained, she could vaguely see the outline of a village ahead!

If there's a village ahead, it means there are people!

"Help! I've been kidnapped, please save me!"

She screamed with all her might and stumbled into the village. The old woman sitting at the entrance was startled by her disheveled appearance.

He didn't even have time to hear her explain more before he arranged for Lu Ningxi to hide in a grain store.

Luo Ningxi carefully hid in the corner of the rice granary. She tried her best to steady her breath and remain perfectly still, using straw to cover her body.

Soon, the bandits' voices came from outside, "A heavily pregnant woman just ran into your village. Has anyone seen her"

The bandits swaggered, but the village women were not intimidated. "What kind of big-bellied woman are you We've never seen anyone like that before! As for you, who are you What brings you to our village"

The kidnapper brandished the baton in his hand, "Damn it, we saw her run into your village with our own eyes! Are you not going to say anything Come on, find her yourselves!"

Shouting and commotion came from outside the door, followed by the sound of bandits breaking into the backyard!

In this critical moment, Luo Ningxi unexpectedly became even calmer! While her hiding spot wasn't exactly concealed, it was difficult to be discovered...

"Boom boom—"

"Damn bitch, where the hell did she go Get your ass out here!"

The sounds of frantic searching grew louder, and the kidnappers' footsteps were getting closer.

Lu Ningxi was at a loss for words, his face pale. The nearby auntie noticed the situation and quickly came out to mediate.

"Who are you people! How dare you break into someone's home! If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police!" The woman's attitude was firm. The kidnappers reluctantly looked around the backyard, afraid that making a bigger commotion would attract the police, so they scowled and prepared to leave.

Luo Ningxi was just about to breathe a sigh of relief...

At this very moment, a little golden retriever from Auntie's house suddenly popped out of nowhere, its round eyes curiously waiting for Luo Ningxi's hiding place!

Lo Ningxi held her breath, her weary eyes frowned as she stared at the little yellow dog, warning it with her gaze not to bark!

The little dog didn't have time for that, it excitedly rushed towards Luo Ningxi!

"Woof!"

Just as the kidnapper was about to leave, he immediately noticed something amiss and abruptly turned his head. Lon Ningxi felt a chill run down her spine, and in the next second, she was roughly lifted from behind the grain store and pulled out!

"What are you doing! Let her go! You bunch of crazy people…"

When the old woman saw this, she wanted to rush over to help, but several bandits suddenly hit her hard on the back of the neck. Then her body went limp, and she lost her strength, fainting on the ground!

Bang--

The kidnapper threw the woman out of the barn, and then glared menacingly at Luo Ningxi.

Luo Ningxi warily steadied herself, slowly moving backward. "Don't come closer, all of you, don't come closer..."

The leader of the bandits, his head covered in blood from the recent fall, was seething with anger and desperately needing an outlet. As Lon Ningxi retreated, he grabbed her wrist and slammed her to the ground with a brutal force.

"Damn bitch, finally caught you. I was too merciful just now, see how you escape this time!"hat feel like lowering your status"Mu Xi Yin gave a bashful and modest smile, "The Pei family's jewelry company is considered the top in the Imperial Capital. It's not a demotion for me, but it would...
