Chapter 67: House arrest
Jiang Anning hung up the phone and went to Chu Yao's bookcase to open his last drawer.
There were a lot of documents in it, and she took them out.
But then the butler suddenly knocked on the door, she quickly closed the drawer, let the butler come in and asked, "What's the matter?"
Steward Wu said curtly: "Madam, Mr.'s study generally does not need others to come in. Whatever you're looking for, I'll help you find it. β
"Hmph, I'm going to come in and look for something, do I want you to help me? Steward Wu, have you forgotten who is the master of this house. Not to mention such a study, even if I opened the safe, Chu Yao didn't dare to say anything, you still care about me?"
Steward Wu's face froze, and he was speechless when he was scolded by Jiang Anning.
Jiang Anning scolded with a cold face: "Don't go out yet, stand here and let me ask you to go out?"
Steward Wu trembled in fright, hurriedly bent down to apologize, and left in a sneering manner.
However, after going out, Steward Wu immediately called Chu Yao and said that his wife had entered the study.
Chu Yao received the call and immediately rushed back from the company.
He walked into the study, saw Jiang Anning, frowned slightly, walked over and whispered, "An Ning, what are you looking for?"
"It's ...... My photo?" Jiang Anning asked Chu Yao with a yellowed photo.
Chu Yao's face was pale, his body trembled slightly, and there was anxiety and panic in his eyes. It was as if something that was still hidden had finally been discovered, and even he didn't know what to do.
"An Ning, listen to my explanation....... β
"So, you already knew my ....... Heh, I've been sad about the lost Chu Yao, it turns out that even if Chu Yao is not reborn by you, the purpose of marrying me is not simple. Jiang Anning laughed.
The person in the photo is her, but the back of the photo reads: One day, you will be ruined in the hands of this woman, unless, one day, she will give birth to your child.
This photo has been rubbed many times.
It can be seen that Chu Yao has seen it more than once before, and she thought that there was really a destiny between her and Chu Yao. That's why Chu Yao broke off the marriage contract with his original fiancΓ©e after seeing her, and couldn't wait to marry her.
will be ecstatic and so excited to learn that she is pregnant.
It turns out that there is a reason for all this!
"Yes, but, even though the reason for getting married was not simple, but now I'm here. You should understand how sincere I am to you. Chu Yao said.
Jiang Anning pursed her lips and looked at him with a deep gaze. The dark eyes are like a deep pool, and people can't see the meaning clearly.
Chu Yao's heart skipped a beat and slowly sank.
It's this look again, and history seems to overlap and play out again.
At the beginning, she also looked at herself with this look, as if it was like a deep pool. He thought she would believe him at least a little, but in the end, he still didn't believe it.
"I believe in you. Jiang Anning said.
"I believe in you. At first, she had promised him that.
Chu Yao lowered his head and smiled bitterly, first making a low sound, and finally laughing louder and louder, tears coming out of his eyes.
Jiang Anning frowned, mixed with some anger in his impatience, and asked unhappily: "What are you laughing at? You don't believe my words?"
"Believe, of course. Chu Yao stopped laughing, wiped his eyes and said.
He walked towards Jiang Anning, walked to her side, and stretched out his hand to touch her face.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Jiang Anning retreated vigilantly, his face full of vigilance.
Chu Yao closed his eyes, snorted and asked, "Didn't you say you trusted me?" β
"Nothing, I'm just curious, where did this picture come from. Jiang Anning said: "Who knew about me in advance and then gave it to ...... That Chu Yao sent the photo. β
"It's you. Chu Yao said.
Jiang Anning raised his eyebrows in surprise, with a disbelieving expression on his face.
Chu Yao stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his fingertips on her cheek: "I didn't lie to you, you sent yourself such a photo." β
"I don't believe it, why don't I have any impression at all?" Jiang Anning said.
"Of course you are not impressed, because you ...... These four lives, Chu Yao in each life, have photos you sent. It's all this one picture, and it's all written the same thing. Now you understand, why do you think that the first life Chu Yao will like you inexplicably? Because he has seen your photo, although he is mentally incomplete, he is the silly white sweet in your mouth. But he also knows that you may be his destined love. β
"Why does Chu Yao in the second life hate you so much? It's because you, a woman, are his doom in his eyes. That's why he hates you so much, until I am born again, otherwise I don't know what he will do to you. β
"Chu Yao in the third life and you have known each other since childhood, but later received your photos. But at that time, he thought you sent it to him. It's just that before he can go to you, I was born again, and it stopped everything from happening. β
"Chu Yao in this life has already received your photo and sent someone to look for you. Knowing what kind of person you are, he is disgusted in his heart. Haven't you ever thought about why Jiang Anning was so unlucky in the past? Where are people born with bad luck, but it is only because someone secretly exerts their strength that will make you, a graduate of a famous university, fall to the point of not having enough to eat. Find you and come to the door, and tell you that you are destined lovers, so he has to accept the reality and marry you as soon as possible. β
"So, it's good that you've been born again. Otherwise, I don't know what he'll do to me when I give birth, right?" Jiang Anning asked.
Chu Yao said: "I don't know what will happen to him, he has also been really attracted to you." If I don't come back again, I don't know what the outcome will be. β
"But why am I sending such a picture? This is a clear reminder to warn you of me. Jiang Anning was still puzzled.
Chu Yao said: "Because you hate me." β
"Hate you?" Jiang Anning furrowed his eyebrows.
Chu Yao held her arm and said, "Okay, don't you feel tired when you stand and talk?" Let's sit down and talk, are you thirsty? I'll go and pour you a glass of water to drink." β
Jiang Anning nodded and lowered his eyes.
The thick and narrow eyelashes, like a row of small fans, cover all the thoughts under her eyes.
Chu Yao is still so gentle and considerate, even if she is forced to ask, even if she says that she hates him. However, she still cares if she is tired or not, whether she will be thirsty, why does she hate such a considerate and gentle man?
Could it be that in the first life, he did something that she couldn't forgive?
What is it that makes her hate so much? He did not hesitate to send such a photo to Chu Yao in these lifetimes, wanting to cut off all possibilities between them.
"Come, drink some water. Chu Yao poured her a glass of water.
Jiang Anning took two sips and put them aside.
Chu Yao sat next to her and said slowly, "Because when we were in our first life, I did something that made you sad. That's why you hate me, and you tell me that you don't want to be with me for the rest of your life. That's why I sent such a photo to my past few lives, wanting to break off all relations between you and me. β
"But why am I reborn? Why are you reborn?" Jiang Anning asked curiously.
This is a question she has always wanted to ask, but she has never been able to find a suitable opportunity.
Today, I finally asked her to ask this question.
"Because ....... β
Jiang Anning's eyes suddenly slowly blurred, and his brain became groggy.
By the time she sensed something was wrong, it was all over.
She tried to stand up, but her huge abdomen made it impossible for her to stand. Under normal circumstances, she would not be able to stand up, let alone the way she looks with a big belly now.
So, she struggled a little and slumped on the couch.
He looked at Chu Yao with wide eyes, and wanted to ask him why, but he couldn't say a word.
I could only look at him with wide eyes, with doubts and unwillingness in my eyes, but I quickly closed it slowly.
Chu Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
He stretched out his hand and put Jiang Anning's neck out of the study, kissed her on the cheek again, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, you sleep well, there are some things I really can't tell you." β
Jiang Anning didn't know how long he slept this night.
When she woke up, she found her lying on the bed in the room.
The curtains were drawn, and it was very dark all around, but after getting used to the darkness, she still recognized at a glance that this was her and Chu Yao's bedroom.
Even the incense hasn't changed.
Because she was pregnant, Chu Yao found her incense suitable for pregnant women, which could help her sleep.
She has been using this incense for months.
"Whew. β
She gritted her teeth and slowly got up from the bed, her whole body sore and weak. Fortunately, the child is fine.
When she woke up, the baby woke up and started to move in his stomach.
She reached out and touched her, slowly reassuring her. Gradually, the child stopped moving in his stomach and quieted down.
However, as soon as she got out of bed, she sensed that something was wrong.
On her feet, she was actually wearing a leg cuff.
The cuffs were the width of a thumb, metal, and not heavy, and I don't know what they were made of. So she didn't notice it at first, and only when she got out of bed did the chain on the leg cuffs hit something else and made a crisp sound, then she realized that there were leg cuffs on her feet.
The chain is not thick, but it is a very thin chain. It only makes a noise when it touches an object.
She tugged hard, and found that although the chain was thin, it couldn't be pulled.
She walked out angrily, wanting to see how long the chain was.
But when she got to the door, she couldn't move, and she realized that this chain could allow her to move freely in the room, and even go to the bathroom. However, he couldn't go out, not even through the window.
"Chu Yao. β
Jiang Anning shouted hysterically and slammed the vase beside him against the door.
The vase made a crisp sound and shattered to the ground.
The people outside heard the noise and immediately rushed in.
Fortunately, I wore shoes, otherwise, the fragments of the vase on the ground would have pierced my feet.
Jiang Anning didn't turn on the lights either, and the room was still pitch black.
Steward Wu rushed in with someone and turned on the light first.
Seeing her appearance, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and he pointed with his hand. Everyone was trained to clean up the pieces of the vase, pull the curtains open, and even soon someone came over and made up an identical vase and placed it in the distance.
In just a few minutes, the room was as if nothing had happened, and it was still the same.
Jiang Anning gasped violently, picked up the vase and smashed it on the ground.
However, the servant quickly cleaned up again, but this time, there was no new vase to be brought in by the horse commander.
Steward Wu waved his hand and asked the servants to go down.
opened his mouth and said slowly to Jiang Anning: "Madam, you should dissipate your anger first, after all, you are still pregnant, and it is not good for the child to be angry like this." β
"You want something to happen to this child in my womb! Jiang Anning angrily took something and smashed it over.
Steward Wu should have called Chu Yao a long time ago, so Chu Yao came over quickly.
After he came, he asked Steward Wu to go out, and walked over to appease Jiang Anning by himself.
"An Ning, you calm down first, things are not what you think. β
With a "snap", Jiang Anning slapped him in the face.
Chu Yao's face was offset, and half of his face instantly turned red.
He has always been pampered, although he is a man, but his skin and flesh are more delicate than ordinary women, where has he received such treatment.
Just looking at it hurts.
However, he quickly calmed down, ignored the hot pain on his face, and continued to approach Jiang Anning and said, "An Ning, don't be angry. It's not good for your body to be so emotional. β
"Hypocrites. Jiang Anning slapped him in the face angrily.
"At this point, you are still hypocritical, and it is not good for your health? You wish I would die! Chu Yao, I hate you, why do you deceive me. I believe you again and again, why deceive me?"
"Trust me?" Chu Yao seemed to be provoked by her words, and couldn't help but raise his voice: "You said that you believe me, you are lying to me at all, just like before, even the tone and eyes have not changed." An Ning, are you still lying to me? You never believed me at all. In your heart, I have long been untrustworthy. You saw that picture and asked me those words, did you already secretly plan to leave secretly? If I hadn't taken the first step and trapped you here, you would have left a long time ago. So, you didn't believe me, never. β
Chu Yao said, approached Jiang Anning again, forcibly took her into his arms and hugged her tightly.
However, Jiang Anning's belly was very big, and he couldn't hold it too tightly.
Even if he hugged her hard and didn't want to let go, this appearance made Jiang Anning very uncomfortable.
Soon, Jiang Anning was short of breath because of the discomfort, and gasped and said, "Chu Yao, if you let go of me, I can't breathe." β
When Chu Yao heard this, he immediately let go of her, and hurriedly held her hand nervously and asked, "An Ning, how are you?"
Jiang Anning pushed him away with a pale face, and sweat droplets the size of beans oozed from his forehead.
She clutched her stomach and fell backwards in pain, eventually slumping on the bed.
"My stomach ...... It hurts, Chu Yao...... Save me...... Save the kids. She groaned, a faint voice calling for help.
Chu Yao saw that she didn't look like a disguise, and immediately shouted: "Come on, call the doctor quickly, quickly." β
Steward Wu had been waiting outside the door, and when he heard the voice, he immediately called the doctor.
But Jiang Anning had already begun to lose consciousness in pain.
She kept moaning, "Help me. β
Chu Yao held her hand and was tightly grasped by her.
At this time, a bright red blood stain oozed from under her body, staining Chu Yao's eyes red.
"An Ning, An Ning?" Chu Yao called her name like crazy.
But Jiang Anning almost fainted and couldn't give him any response.
Chu Yao hugged her and wanted to pick her up.
But now that Jiang Anning is seven months pregnant, it is difficult for Chu Yao to pick her up. Fortunately, the doctor soon came and carried Jiang Anning into the ambulance.
Chu Yao followed him with blood in one hand, and Steward Wu originally reminded him to wash his hands, but he didn't care.
Steward Wu had no choice but to bring him a towel, and Chu Yao followed him into the ambulance.
Sure enough, she had uterine contractions triggered by her emotional agitation, and there were signs of premature labor.
After the ambulance took her to the hospital, she went straight to the operating room.
Chu Yao waited outside, looking at the light sign in the operating room, his heart gradually sinking.
Everything seemed to have returned to the original state, and he and Jiang Anning had finally come to this point again.
**
Jiang Anning woke up again, and it was already three days later.
She was in a coma for three days and three nights, and she was hanging for her life with nutritional injections.
She opened her eyes, and there was a slight smell of soda in her nose, so she knew it was in the hospital as soon as she smelled it.
What's more, the snow-white ceiling and the white walls around her when she opened her eyes confirmed her suspicion even more.
There was still a drip on her arm, and she looked at it for a while. Drop by drop, it dripped from above, through a slender hose, into her body, and she didn't know what kind of medicine these were all forcibly injected into her body.
Looking to the side again, it was Chu Yao's face lying asleep beside her bed.
She vaguely remembered that it was time to sleep, but seeing Chu Yao again startled her.
The stubble on his face looked very haggard, his hair was messy, and his clothes were even more crumpled and unlooking.
You must know that Chu Yao pays great attention to his image.
Whether it is Chu Yao before rebirth or Chu Yao after rebirth, he likes to be meticulous about himself. The face is always clean, and the clothes are neat and tidy, without a trace of wrinkles.
It's the first time she's seen him like this.
"Wake up. She cried out weakly.
But Chu Yao didn't move at all.
She had no choice but to reach out her hand that was not dripping and touch his face.
I wanted to hit him, but she really didn't have the strength, so she just touched it gently.
But at this time, she had to complain about the TV series she watched before, as soon as a patient wakes up, the people who take care of her will wake up as soon as possible. It's a lie at all, she has been awake for so long, she can't wake up when she shouts, and she will only wake up if she touches it, where can she wake up as soon as possible.
Or is it because Chu Yao doesn't care about himself, so he won't be so alert?
"Are you awake?" Chu Yao opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment when he saw her wake up, and then asked in surprise.
Jiang Anning rolled her eyes and said, "My eyes are open, aren't you talking nonsense." β
After speaking, he paused and asked, "Why am I in the hospital?"
She hasn't reacted yet, her brain is still a little dull, and many things haven't been thought of yet.
When Chu Yao heard her ask, he was also stunned for a moment, and looked at her in a daze.
After a long while, he cautiously asked, "An Ning, are you ...... Don't remember anything?"
"What do I remember?" Jiang Anning frowned.
Finally, she sensed that something was wrong and immediately touched her stomach with her other hand.
"Child, where's my child?"
Her lower abdomen was flattened, and she no longer had that high bulge, and she couldn't feel the feeling of beating with her heartbeat. At that time, it rolled in her stomach from time to time, and the feeling of kicking her with small hands and feet could no longer be felt.
Her child is gone.
"Where's my child?" Chu Yao, where did you get my child?" Jiang Anning struggled to sit up and shouted hysterically.
But she was so weak that she didn't eat for three days, and she was hanged by nutrient solution. I had just finished giving birth, and I didn't have any strength in my body, so even if I struggled desperately, I only moved, and I couldn't sit up at all.
Chu Yao called the doctor and comforted her: "An Ning, don't get excited yet." You've just given birth and you're too weak. Shouting like this is not good for your body. β
But Jiang Anning didn't care, and kept struggling to ask: "What about my child, what about my child?"
"The baby is here, she just gave birth prematurely. But she is too young, because she was born early and is not in good health, so she is still in the incubator. When she is a little better, you can take it out, or your body is better, and you can go to see her. β
"Really, you didn't lie to me?"
Jiang Anning finally stopped struggling when he heard this, and looked at him with a stunned gaze.
Chu Yao nodded and said, "I didn't lie to you, of course it's all true, the child is in the incubator." You can go see her when you're better, but you can't get too excited now, your body is too weak. The doctor came right away, and we cooperated with the doctor to take care of the illness, and when she got better, we went to see her. β
That's when the doctor came in.
Jiang Anning still didn't believe Chu Yao, and immediately turned to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, where is my child?"
The doctor glanced at Chu Yao and quickly replied, "It's still in the incubator, and now it's very weak and needs to be taken care of." β
Jiang Anning was relieved when he heard the doctor say the same, believing the fact that the child was still there.
She actively cooperated with the doctor's treatment, and asked someone to serve her a little soup to drink. Although he didn't have any appetite at all, he still forced himself to eat something.
She will only be able to see her child if she quickly recovers her strength and health.
Chu Yao took care of her in the hospital, originally she saw that Chu Yao was still very repulsive, but now that the child is fine, she is not so repulsive towards Chu Yao.
But he was still cold and unwilling to talk to Chu Yao.
Chu Yao was persevering, and insisted on talking and chatting with her, and he would tell her anything new.
One person can also speak with relish.
"Chu Yao, are you so interesting?" Jiang Anning was impatient by his quarrel, and couldn't help but ask sarcastically.
Chu Yao paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Of course it's interesting, as long as I talk to you, it's interesting." β
Jiang Anning rolled her eyes, there was a ghost, she ignored him, he was really faceless.
"Forget it, I'm too lazy to tell you. β
"An Ning, I know that I have a lot of things that I haven't done well. But I promise you, not in the future, and I will definitely treat you well in the future. Chu Yao said solemnly.
But he said so much that she was already numb to it.
In order not to hear him any more, she asked him, "How much did the child weigh when he was born?" Did you take a picture as a souvenir?"
"The photo was taken, but I asked Zhou Tezhu to take it. When I see him, ask him for a picture. When he was born, he was born three pounds and two taels, and he was born prematurely, which was too light. Chu Yao said.
Jiang Anning "......"
"Three catties and two taels, but why did the doctor tell me that it was three catties and four taels?"
