ued with them for a few sentences and got kicked out as a result. They shamelessly want to take over the inheritance my mother left me! In the future, I might not have a father or even a home."Li Boch...Luo Ningxi didn't want to hear this anymore, she coldly interrupted him, "I know my own husband best, you don't need to judge him here, Qiaoqiao, let's go."

She finished speaking and pulled Su Qiao towards the other side of the island, not noticing at all the playful glint in Nan Hanchuan's eyes.

……

Luo Ningxi pulled Su Qiao along quickly, stopping only when they reached a secluded patch of grass on the island.

Su Qiao followed behind, apologetically holding her hand, “Baby, it’s all my fault for not stopping those two men. Did Li Botong do anything to you...”

Everything was according to their plan, but for some reason, Li Bichen saw through her lie as if he had eyes that could see a thousand miles!

Luo Ningxi shook her head and said nonchalantly, "What do you mean I'm fine."

"Li Bochen is acting like a madman now, you have to be careful."

Su Qiao stomped her feet anxiously, Luo Ningxi was afraid she would catch a cold from the wind and wanted to take her back to the villa to change her clothes. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a lush green plant in the grass.

This is... !

She incredulously furrowed her brows and walked straight toward the plants...

Su Qiao couldn't help but follow curiously, but she found that the plant was no different from ordinary weeds.

"Is there something wrong with this grass Why are you staring at it so much..."

Luo Ningxi gently stroked the thin leaves with her fingertips, and the light in her eyes finally recovered a bit. "I saw it in a book, this grass is called mandala, and its toxins can make people fall into a coma."

"Then you dare touch it, go wash your hands quickly! You really don't treat yourself like a pregnant woman..." Su Qiao immediately got anxious, pulling her towards the beach.

"Don't worry, only the oral form is poisonous." Luo Ningxi helplessly pulled her, a few thoughts flashed in her eyes, and she immediately had an idea. "But we can use this to escape!"

……

The study in the villa was cold and quiet.

Li Bochen crossed his hands and sat in front of the computer, Mo Yao's message had already been sent over through the computer screen.

Mr. Li, our people have already influenced public opinion. Now the online sentiment is one-sided, all criticizing Yu Chengnan for making a fuss and hype. Even Yu Lan and the young master's side have been affected.

Li Bochen closed the interface, disdainfully curled his lips, revealing a cold and contemptuous smile. Since he dared to elope, he naturally made full preparations.

The island was a smokescreen.

However, it seems Yu Chengnan wasn't able to find that island easily.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

Just then, the door to the study was suddenly knocked on, and the maid walked in with a cup of coffee, placing it respectfully on the table.

Li Bochen casually glanced at the moonlight outside and asked, "Where is Luo Ningxi now"

"Mrs. Smith has been with Miss Su all day and is now asleep."

"Asleep" Li Bichen raised an eyebrow in surprise. He thought Luo Ningxi would still insist on saving Yu Chengnan or find a way to escape, but he didn't expect her to just give up like this

However, she was definitely not the type to learn her lesson...

Thinking back to when Lu Ningxi tried to hurt herself alone in her room before.

Li Bochen's eyes darkened suddenly, and he got up directly from the study, strode over to Luo Ningxi's bedroom.

The bedroom door was opened a crack, the room was dark with no lights on. Lu Ningxi curled up under the blanket, sleeping peacefully.

Li Boche slowed his pace and walked gently to the bed.

Gone was the daytime stubbornness and sharp confrontation, his face in the moonlight appearing softer.

Li Bichen's eyes moved slightly, the emotions in his eyes surging. He couldn't help but reach out to smooth the stray hair on her forehead, but Luo Ningxi seemed to have sensed something and frowned uneasily.

His hand suddenly froze in mid-air, a complex mixture of emotions flitting across his eyes.

When did she... become so insecure

Luning Xi once basked in sunshine, even when faced with treachery from her own father and cruelty from her stepmother. She never wavered, enduring hardship after hardship without complaint.

What about now

Li Bochen's thin lips tightened, and he finally retracted his hand that had been hovering in mid-air.

Luning Xi's butterfly-like eyelashes trembled slightly, as if sensing something, she felt uneasy and burrowed deeper under the blanket.

Li Bochen was afraid she would be suffocated, so he instinctively tucked the blanket in for her. But the next second, Luo Ningxi suddenly grabbed his arm and refused to let go for a long time.

He thought it was another trick to please him, but soon, the steady breathing came again.

The room fell silent once more. Li Boche stared down at her, who was clinging to his arm obediently, and the coldness in his eyes finally softened.

If only they could stay like this forever.

Perhaps it was possible before, but now it seems there's no such possibility...

As long as she wakes up, as long as she sees her own face, she'll do everything in her power to escape him!

Go back to Yu Chengnan's side.

His deep-set eyes grew even more sinister, but at this point, he would rather have her hate him than let go.

"Buzz buzz—"

A notification buzzed from WeChat, and Li Bochen frowned slightly, pulling Nan Hanchuan's phone out of his pocket.

His WeChat account was logged into on his phone.

And the first message was from a new friend account.

"Are you Xi Xi I'm Yu Chengnan! If it's really you, please contact me as soon as possible, I'm going to save you!"

Xi Xi, is that you

Where did Li Bochen take you Can you send me your location so I can come and save you! furious that her hands trembled, "I've already given you the money, do you think I'm an ATM""I don't want to hear your nonsense. It was your fiancé who got me into this mess, and I'm not going to you...
