That was because she was kind-hearted and wouldn’t let those who helped her be implicated.

“Don’t worry, Your Highness. That won’t happen.” Even as Mo Qian’er said the words, her heart was in a mess; should she still call Mr. Xiao over?

But if she didn’t, she would be controlled by the slave mark forever.

She didn’t want to live like a slave; otherwise, her own child wouldn’t be able to hold his head high in the future because of such a lowly mother.

After Lu Fenying left, Mo Qian’er lay in bed and wondered if she should send someone to invite Mr. Xiao over.

It was almost midnight.

Xiao Xiao hadn’t slept at all. He was reading a medical book on the couch and waiting for Mo Qian’er’s summon, but even after one candle burned down to nothing, no one came.

Had she given up?

Mo Qian’er thought for a moment, then gritted her teeth and decided to give up. She couldn’t implicate Mr. Xiao.

If he was targeted by Lu Fenying, his future would be miserable, even if he could escape this time.

She couldn’t hurt him because of her selfishness.

Mo Qian’er made up her mind to go to sleep, but at that moment, her stomach hurt. At first, it was a twinge, but it was soon followed by a sharp pain that made her sweat.

“Someone… Someone…” Mo Qian’er clutched her stomach in fear.

She couldn’t let anything happen to the baby.

A maid rushed in. “Miss Qian’er, what’s wrong? Hold on, I’ll get Mr. Xiao.”

Mo Qian’er raised her hand to stop her, but before she could, she had already run out.

Mo Qian’er’s back arched in pain. Was this fate?

It was already very late when Xiao Xiao looked at the quiet night outside his place. The plan must have changed.
