Rong Yan kept thrashing about—she didn’t want to die yet. Rong Guang needed her.
Besides, she still didn’t know who A Zhi was, the woman Jiang Yuhan loved so deeply.
And even more than that, she couldn’t bear the thought of the baby in her belly dying with her!
She could sense someone grabbing hold of her, pulling her forward through the water.
But in that moment of crisis, Rong Yan finally understood just how mediocre her swimming skills really were—practically on par with someone who couldn’t swim at all.
She couldn’t coordinate with her rescuer, and she completely lost consciousness.
Rong Yan woke up coughing. Jiang Yuhan was supporting her in a sitting position, gently patting her back.
She had already been changed into clean clothes. As her coughing gradually subsided, she drank half a glass of water from Jiang Yuhan’s hand.
She quickly scanned her surroundings and realized she wasn’t in a hospital—she was still at the Jiang family’s old estate.
Jiang Yuhan suddenly set the glass down on the table with a heavy thud, startling Rong Yan.
Meeting the man’s cold, murderous gaze, Rong Yan asked cautiously.
“What’s wrong?”
Young Master Jiang’s hands clenched into fists as he demanded icily.
“Why did you hide it from me?”
Rong Yan swallowed hard, her voice hoarse and strained.
“I’ve hidden many things from you. Which one are you referring to?”
Jiang Yuhan: “…”
A knock sounded at the door, and Young Master Jiang rose to answer it.
As she watched the person step into the room, Rong Yan understood exactly what Jiang Yuhan was referring to.
“Miss Rong, although the baby didn’t have any problems this time, you need to be more careful in the future. Your constitution is already somewhat weak to begin with.”
Rong Yan nodded obediently. “Yes, Doctor.”
What a coincidence—it was the same doctor who had told her she was pregnant. She had also attended Elder Jiang’s birthday banquet.
So Jiang Yuhan now knew she was pregnant, and he also knew she had deliberately concealed it from him.
The doctor went over many more precautions with Rong Yan before leaving.
But Rong Yan hadn’t absorbed any of it—she was lost in her own thoughts. Young Master Jiang, on the other hand, had listened very carefully.
Reining in his fiery temper, the man spoke in a cool, detached tone.
“Rong Yan, answer my question from earlier.”
Clutching the blanket, Rong Yan said with a hint of guilt.
“I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just hadn’t figured out yet how to tell you this surprise.”
Rong Yan hadn’t only wanted to hide the pregnancy from Jiang Yuhan—she had also wanted to secretly give birth to the child without telling him, keeping the baby all to herself.
Young Master Jiang curled the corner of his mouth slightly. At this point, no matter what nonsense Rong Yan spouted, he had no choice but to believe it. He spoke in a low, measured voice.
“If you’d told me directly, I would have found it very surprising indeed.”
Rong Yan tilted her head. “Really? Then what do you plan to do about this child?”
Young Master Jiang didn’t hesitate for a moment. “Of course we’ll have it. You’re not thinking of getting rid of it, are you?”
Rong Yan grew somewhat agitated. “How could I? No one is going to take my baby away from me.”
Without a word, Jiang Yuhan’s face remained utterly expressionless.
When the porridge was brought to her lips, the hungry Rong Yan opened her mouth and ate it without any pretentiousness.
After finishing the entire bowl of porridge, Rong Yan’s mind began to work quickly again.
She asked Jiang Yuhan somewhat urgently, “Is Xiao Wan alright?”
“She’s fine. How did you and she end up falling into the lake together?”
Rong Yan said with some embarrassment, “It was me who pulled her down. In the lake, she tried to pull me forward, but I probably wasn’t cooperating very well.”
“Mm.”
Rong Yan wanted to ask more questions, but she saw Jiang Yuhan on the phone.
“You can come in now.”
After saying this, Jiang Yuhan hung up the phone.
Immediately after, Rong Yan saw the door being pushed open, and Jiang Yuwan walked in hurriedly.
“Third Sister-in-law, please explain to Third Brother quickly that it wasn’t me who pushed you into the lake.”
Jiang Yuwan felt she was more wronged than Dou E. It was clearly Rong Yan who pulled her into the water, and she had even tried to save Rong Yan.
Although she could be a bit willful, she would never dare to deliberately push someone into a lake.
Especially her Third Sister-in-law, whom her Third Brother cherished dearly. Whoever dared to touch a single hair on her Third Sister-in-law’s head would be asking for death.
Rong Yan looked at Jiang Yuwan with eyes full of guilt. “I’ve already told him that I pulled you down, and you even tried to save me. It was just that I was too useless and held you back.”
Jiang Yuwan let out a heavy sigh of relief. Not long ago, her Third Brother’s threat to her was still fresh in her memory.
“If anything happens to Rong Yan, I will personally send you to prison…”
Jiang Yuwan, who loved traveling the most and had already been to many countries, would probably choose to end her own life if she were really sent to prison.
“Thank you, Third Sister-in-law.” Leaning close to Rong Yan, Jiang Yuwan whispered in her ear, “Third Sister-in-law, tell me quickly, why did you break up with Brother Lingfeng?”
The corners of Rong Yan’s mouth twitched several times. Now that Jiang Yuwan was somewhat her lifesaver, she decided to tell the truth.
“It was Han Lingfeng who broke up with me.”
“Why? Could it be that Third Sister-in-law, you cheated on him with my Third Brother?”
