Chapter 217 A Wild Boar Falling Down From the Sky (1/2)

”Ying Qingcang, don't forget that I'm still your father!” Ying Hao exclaimed. He was so incensed at that point that he could barely remain upright.

”I don't have a father like you,” Ying Qingcang said in a voice so cold that it would bring goosebumps to anyone's skin. Still kneeling on the floor, Rong Xiao's sobs became even louder. Ying Hao raised his walking stick in the air, fully intending to strike Ying Qingcang. Just like that, the house had turned into a state of utter chaos.

”Ah!” Xin Qing's hands went to her head suddenly as she shouted in a shrill voice. Despite Ying Qingcang's strength, he had failed to keep Xin Qing upright; Xin Qing collapsed to the floor and fell flat on her butt. ”It hurts! It hurts!” Xin Qing said in a trembling voice as she pounded her head with her knuckles. In that split second, all traces of blood left Xin Qing's face; she had gone completely pale. Hugging her tightly, Ying Qingcang reached out with his hand. ”Ah Qing! Ah Qing, stop! Stop biting. You'll only hurt yourself. Here, bite my hand!”

Xin Qing shoved him aside and released a stream of horrifying screams as she tried to smash her head against the floor. Ying Qingcang's hand reached out just in time to prevent her head from connected to the hard floor. He drew her into his arms once again. The front door was kicked open suddenly. Boss Wan and Chen Huan came running in.

”Hold her in place, don't let her move!” Chen Huan barked out the order as she retrieved a syringe. Ying Qingcang and Boss Wan held Xin Qing down on each side while Chen Huan pushed the needle of the syringe into Xin Qing's arm. Soon, Xin Qing quieted down. Ying Qingcang's entire body was taut and stiff with tension when he picked her up from the floor. After that, he carried her upstairs without a backward glance.

Ying Qingcang's cold voice came from the staircase. ”Boss Wan, have your men force these people back to England.” Ying Hao was just about to say something when Boss Wan stepped in front of him. ”Just go,” Boss Wan said. ”I won't be using force seeing as you're his father.”

The doctor was just wrapping up his examination when Xin Qing woke up the next day. The moment she opened her eyes, Ying Qingcang quickly said, ”Don't worry. The child's fine.”

”It's all my fault. I didn't keep my emotions in check,” Xin Qing said with a shake of her head. She stared at Ying Qingcang. ”Where are they?”

Ying Qingcang got her to sit upright. ”They've been sent away. Come, finish the milk.”

Xin Qing finished the milk and leaned into Ying Qingcang's embrace. ”I thought I heard Chen Huan's voice. Was she the one who saved me?” she asked. ”I wonder if she has a solution to all this...”

Chen Huan was enjoying a bowl of dumplings when Xin Qing got downstairs. Chen Huan greeted Xin Qing the moment she saw her. ”Are you okay now? Hey, come eat something! I swear, Aunt Tian makes the best dumplings in the world!”

”Have some more if you like them!” Xin Qing said, sitting down across from Chen Huan. ”Thank you so much for saving me this time.”

Chen Huan bit into a piece of sweetened garlic. ”Oh, you don't have to thank me. I should've come earlier. It's all that brute's fault. He insisted on-” Chen Huan's words halted suddenly as an unnatural blush crept up her face. Xin Qing winked at her. ”Are you talking about Boss Wan? What did he insist on doing?”

”I insisted on fucking her!” Boss Wan appeared behind Chen Huan like a phantom, causing Chen Huan to choke on the piece of dumpling she had been chewing.

Xin Qing stood up, wanting to retrieve a glass of water for Chen Huan. Ying Qingcang pressed her back down into her seat. ”Hurry up and eat. The food will be cold in a while.”

”Have some water,” Boss Wan said, bringing a glass to Chen Huan's lips while his hands stroked Chen Huan's back a few times.

Chen Huan took the glass from him roughly and then glared daggers at him. ”Are you trying to choke me to death? Also, what kind of disgusting nonsense are you on about anyway?”

”I'm just telling the truth,” Boss Wan said. Then, with a glance at Xin Qing, Boss Wan added, ”You get it, right?”

Xin Qing raised her hand. ”Oh, I understand it all too well. Look, if you guys have some free time on your hands, why don't you stay here for a few more days? I mean, ahem, ahem... Our walls are pretty soundproof.”

”I know,” Boss Wan said. ”Ying Qingcang had obtained the special raw materials from me in the first place. You can shout or moan however loud you want, nobody outside the room could hear a thing as long as the door is closed.”

This time, it was Xin Qing who blushed. She shot a glare at Ying Qingcang. The latter ladled a bowl of soup for her innocently.

When the two women were done with their meal, they moved into the living room and got down to business.

Ying Qingcang draped his arm over Xin Qing's shoulder and looked at Chen Huan gravely. ”Give it to me straight,” he said. ”How long can the injection you've given Ah Qing yesterday keep her condition under control?”

Chen Huan gave him a thumbs up. ”Smart man. You figured out that it's only a temporary solution,” Chen Huan said, sighing. ”That shot is a modified version of the previous drug. I made it with the leftover samples of the previous drug. It might be able to keep the symptoms under control for half a year tops. Also... You must prepare yourself for one more possibility since Xin Qing is pregnant right now. I can't make any guarantees that the drug will not negatively impact the fetus.”

”What?” Xin Qing panicked. ”Then what should we do? Is it... Is it too late to do something about it?”

Ying Qingcang covered Xin Qing's hand with his own and squeezed with quite a bit of strength. ”Hey, don't panic. It's bad for your body.”

”I brought a genetic modifying drug with me,” Chen Huan said in a comforting tone. ”And I want to ask if you're willing to take it. This is my latest creation, by the way. It's even better than the one Xunxun had taken last time.”

”Will it affect Ah Qing's body?” That was the only thing that Ying Qingcang cared about.

”In theory, no,” Chen Huan said, taking out a tube of green liquid from her pocket. ”I recommend taking the shot. Whatever the outcome is, it won't be the worst.”

Xin Qing glanced at Ying Qingcang. She understood what Chen Huan meant. The painkiller injected into her last night had detrimental effects on the fetus, that was already an established fact. Even if this genetic modifying drug also had an effect on the fetus, the side effect would still not be worse than the previous one.

”Take it, then.” Ying Qingcang dropped a kiss onto Xin Qing's forehead. ”We have to at least try something.”

Chen Huan took out the syringe. ”Come, stretch out your arm!”

Young Master Shen and Zhang Mi came by that night. They both had to return to New York as per Shen Batian's wish. Apparently, they were only allowed to leave New York after Zhang Mi had gotten pregnant.
