Plunder-Chapter 230: Threat
"When can I get out?"
An Kexin’s eyes flickered with a trace of fear. She was very afraid, craving freedom.
Ding Hao’s gaze deepened, "What’s the rush to go out? Do you have a place to stay? Just stay inside, it’s the safest there. By the way, I have to tell you, if Zhou Jin’an finds out you’re pregnant now, he’ll definitely seek revenge and won’t let you off."
Ding Hao didn’t forget to threaten An Kexin thoroughly.
Her eyes drooped, the eyeballs rolling around shiftily.
She hadn’t told Ding Hao about the existence of Qiqi.
Of course, she also hadn’t mentioned that Zhou Jin’an had come to look for her.
"If he won’t let me off, I’ll definitely turn you in."
An Kexin looked at Ding Hao.
He laughed, with a kind of unrestrained mirth.
Spreading his arms, he made a helpless shrug, "We’re in this together now. I won’t harm you, and of course, you can’t harm me. Alright, I’m off. If you need anything, just tell me, and I’ll bring it next time I come."
Having said that, Ding Hao got up and walked toward the exit.
An Kexin had just become pregnant, and her morning sickness was particularly severe.
"I want sour plums, from Old Chen’s shop."
"Heh," Ding Hao snorted coldly through his nostrils, "Oh, are you planning to bear me a son?"
After his laugh, he straightened up, "Okay, I’ll bring them next time."
However, she had no idea which visit would be the "next time" Ding Hao referred to.
But soon, An Kexin was allowed to serve her sentence outside of jail due to her pregnancy, meaning she didn’t have to be confined anymore.
Yet, Qiao En didn’t know about this.
That day, Zhou Jin’an accompanied Qiao En to a prenatal check-up. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
In the waiting area, Qiao En unexpectedly saw An Kexin’s figure.
She was all alone, her pregnant belly protruding, looking quite distressed.
At first glance, Qiao En could hardly believe it was An Kexin.
At that time, Zhou Jin’an was conveniently absent.
The number calling machine announced An Kexin’s name, and she, holding her number, went in.
Qiao En stood up, gazing long after the direction An Kexin had left.
A few minutes later, Zhou Jin’an came back after paying the fees.
"I just saw An Kexin."
Qiao En said.
Zhou Jin’an felt a jolt in his heart. He knew about An Kexin serving her sentence outside, but he thought it wasn’t important, so he didn’t tell Qiao En.
"Is that so?"
"Did you know beforehand?"
Qiao En became alert, quickly picking up on something.
Zhou Jin’an had originally intended to keep it a secret, but he found he could not hide it from Qiao En.
If he couldn’t conceal it, better to be honest.
"Yes, she’s pregnant."
"Whose child is it?"
Qiao En asked suspiciously.
"I don’t know."
Zhou Jin’an replied truthfully.
Both fell into silence.
It was common knowledge that An Kexin had always been entangled with Zhou Jin’an.
Just then, the number caller announced Qiao En’s name.
She got up and walked alone toward the examination room.
But Qiao En didn’t expect that she would encounter An Kexin outside the examination room.
An Kexin’s eyes shimmered with a cold light, the gleam of jealousy and resentment.
"You think you’re worthy to bear children for Brother An?"
She let out a scoff, full of contempt.
"At least more than you are."
Qiao En shot back.
An Kexin’s face turned ugly as she closed in on Qiao En, an aura of killing intent emanating from her.
"Don’t think you’ll really be able to give birth."
An Kexin issued a warning.
"An Kexin, come in!"
The door of the examination room opened, and the doctor in a white coat called out from inside.
An Kexin, with a dismissive smirk, walked in.
Qiao En, just outside the door, felt a chill run down her spine.
When she walked out from there, pale-faced, Zhou Jin’an was taken aback.
"Wife, what’s wrong?"
He rushed toward Qiao En, supporting her arm, Qiao En’s hand was ice-cold, and her expression also seemed off.
An Kexin’s threat was not frightening, but, it reminded Qiao En of that dead child.
The child’s death was related to An Kexin.
"Let’s go home."
She clasped Zhou Jin’an’s hand tightly, her steps slightly disordered as she started to leave.
"Don’t you still have a check-up to do?"
"No more check-ups."
Qiao En said resolutely.
Her abnormal behavior suddenly made Zhou Jin’an realize something.
"You sit here for a while, I’ll buy you something to drink."
Zhou Jin’an found a corner seat and settled Qiao En down.
Then, he strode toward the direction of the clinic.
Indeed, as soon as he arrived, An Kexin, who had finished her check-up, came out.
"Jin’an."
Upon seeing Zhou Jin’an, the light at the bottom of her eyes instantly lit up, and she quickened her pace toward him, not minding her own body.
Zhou Jin’an grabbed An Kexin’s wrist in one swift motion, pulling her along towards the other end.
"Jin’an, slow down, I can’t keep up with you."
An Kexin complained.
But Zhou Jin’an didn’t slow his pace because of An Kexin; on the contrary, he walked even faster.
Standing a head and shoulders above the rest with his height of over 1.8 meters, his strides were both large and steady, and although An Kexin was tall as well, she truly seemed shorter when standing next to Zhou Jin’an.
Being led by such a tall, handsome man made An Kexin’s vanity swell again.
Especially in a place like the gynecology department.
Her wrist was clearly hurting, but the smile on her face was very sweet.
"Jin’an, slow down."
She kept cooing.
Zhou Jin’an’s face had turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He stopped with An Kexin at a window next to the corridor, snarled down at her from his height. "What did you say to Qiao En?"
As soon as he spoke, he was accusing her.
An Kexin’s heart, which throbbed for him, felt as if doused with cold water at that moment.
"I didn’t say anything. Did she slander me to you? Jin’an, we’ve known each other for almost ten years, don’t you know what kind of person I am? How could I say anything that would harm you?"
An Kexin feigned grievance, refusing to admit anything.
"You might not say it to me, but you would do it, wouldn’t you? An Kexin, I’m warning you, you’d better stay away from Qiao En, otherwise—"
"Otherwise, what? Zhou Jin’an, you’ve already sent me to that kind of place, what more do you want? Oh, right, I have a baby in my belly now, you want to harm him, don’t you? If you dare, just try it."
An Kexin purposefully thrust her stomach forward, her eyes provocatively fixed on Zhou Jin’an.
He naturally knew he shouldn’t do anything illegal.
"If something happens to Qiao En or the child in her belly, I’ll make sure you wish you were dead."
Zhou Jin’an said angrily.
An Kexin laughed, a particularly bitter laugh.
"You’ve changed, all you see is her now."
"I’ve only ever had eyes for her."
Zhou Jin’an stated emphatically.
Every word he said was a humiliation for An Kexin.
Qiao En had been waiting for a while, and when Zhou Jin’an did not return, she came out to look for him.
What she could never have expected was that she would come out and see Zhou Jin’an with An Kexin.
Zhou Jin’an had his back to Qiao En. His cold back looked angry.
Qiao En could not see his face, but An Kexin, with sharp eyes, spotted Qiao En at a glance.
So, she purposely stretched out her hand and hooked it around Zhou Jin’an’s neck.
"Okay, I understand, don’t worry, I will stay far away from her."
Qiao En didn’t understand the situation and the scene she saw was An Kexin and Zhou Jin’an in an intimate moment.
She knew Zhou Jin’an would not do anything to An Kexin, but still, seeing this scene hurt her a bit.
So, she turned around and walked away.
In the moment she turned, Zhou Jin’an firmly caught An Kexin’s wrist and flung her away harshly.
"You’d better make sure you do, or else, I have ways to deal with you."
Zhou Jin’an turned and returned to the waiting area. Qiao En leaned on the sofa, fiddling with her phone.
"Are you sure you don’t want to have the check-up today?"
Zhou Jin’an asked gently.
Qiao En stood up, took a long sigh of relief, "I’m a bit sleepy, let’s go back first."
Somehow, after seeing An Kexin, her heart could no longer stay calm.
Indeed, three days later, a major incident occurred in Rong City, and it was related to Zhou Jin’an.
