At this moment, Wen Haowen entered the living room and ordered the servants to carry the bags into the room.
Upon sight of Wen Xinya and Ning Shuqian sitting together and chatting with each other in the living room, a sullen expression formed on his face and he glared at her sternly.
Wen Xinya looked up and met the eyes of Wen Haowen. All of a sudden, she felt a cold chill down her spine and got the goosebumps.
Ning Shuqian shrieked in terror.

Shuqian, what’s wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable?
Wen Haowen frantically asked. He could not help but tense up at the sight of Ning Shuqian clutching her stomach gently while her face turned as pale as a sheet.


Ning Shuqian forced a smile and said,
Nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable all of a sudden. I’m alright now.

Wen Xinya’s eyelids began twitching.
Wen Haowen was engulfed by panic the moment he heard that her stomach was upset. He only felt a sense of relief after hearing that she was alright. Glaring daggers at Wen Xinya, Wen Haowen questioned,
You bastard, did you say something to your Aunt Ning and agitated her?

Remaining calm and dauntless, Wen Xinya looked into Wen Haowen’s bloodshot eyes and said,
I just came home from school and arrived a short while before you did. What could I have said to her?

Ning Shuqian had been married to Wen Haowen for almost eighteen years. Although the servants of the Wen Family still served her, they used to do so perfunctorily because of Old Mr. Wen’s disapproval towards her. She returned to the Wen Family home with the intention of using her child to show her prowess.
Some things were unavoidable when living under the same roof.

The doctor clearly said that your Aunt Ning’s pregnancy is stable and she just has to be mindful of her diet and stay in a happy mood. She’ll be fine as long as she’s not agitated. Why would her stomach hurt all of a sudden?
Wen Haowen questioned, staring at Wen Xinya with bloodshot eyes. She glanced at him coldly, keeping her slender body as straight as a ruler and appearing formidable. He could not help but be reminded of Old Mr. Mo.
He suddenly realized that Wen Xinya was never one to be manipulated by him and she was just keeping a facade of being careful and conscious.
Wen Xinya glanced at Ning Shuqian coldly and sneered.
We’ll have to ask Aunt Ning then. Perhaps, Aunt Ning just got too agitated because she was suddenly reminded of an unhappy event.

Wen Haowen was at a sudden loss for words and instinctively looked at Ning Shuqian.


Ning Shuqian hurriedly comforted him.
Haowen, I’m alright. Don’t worry.

Ning Shuqian looked at Wen Xinya. She was initially planning to show Wen Xinya her prowess and let her know how important she was to the Wen Family. To her astonishment, Wen Xinya turned out to be far more difficult than she had expected. There was no way she could deny or retaliate. If she were to accuse Wen Xinya of causing her to be agitated, others would think that she was merely trying to use her pregnancy to wreak havoc. If things get blown out of proportion, Old Mr. Wen would be alarmed and in turn become displeased with her.
After giving it some thought, she realized that she had made the wrong decision by moving back into the Wen Family home, for she had given Wen Xinya the chance to sow discord between Wen Haowen and Old Mr. Wen, and the chance to get into Old Mr. Wen’s good books and make him defend her.
Wen Xinya is almost turning eighteen and she will soon be joining the management of the Wen Corporation. By then, that old man will definitely alter his will again. The fact that that old man values Wen Xinya so greatly is going to be disadvantageous to Haowen. I must make Haowen perform well while I’m still pregnant, and win that old man’s heart again. I refuse to believe that Haowen means less to the old man than this ill-bred child who has led a wandering life for fifteen years.

Ning Shuqian finally calmed herself down after realizing that she could not blow things up.
Needless to say, Wen Xinya did not have the time or mood to care about what Ning Shuqian was thinking. She said calmly,
Since Aunt Ning is alright, I’ll return to my room now.

Wen Haowen flew into a rage upon sight of Wen Xinya’s nonchalance. He glowered at her and warned.
Your Aunt Ning and I are moving back into the Wen Family home. I’m warning you now. If you dare to lay a hand on your Aunt Ning, I’ll definitely not let you off.

Wen Haowen suddenly recalled the hospital visit, during which Old Mr. Wen constantly defended Wen Xinya. Not only did he not berate Wen Xinya for causing Shuqian to almost suffer a miscarriage, he even said such callous things. Even if Shuqian gave birth to a boy, he might not be able to replace Wen Xinya as the successor. Wen Haowen could not help but be overwhelmed with anger.
Wen Xinya did not want to argue with Wen Haowen any further, for she did not want to get into a conflict with him. After all, Ning Shuqian was present too. If anything were to happen, she would definitely have to take the blame. Hence, she decided to ignore his stern warning and instead stood up to return to her room.
Wen Haowen snapped angrily.
You bastard. I’m talking to you, did you hear me?



Wen Xinya turned around slowly and stared at Wen Haowen. She said slowly,
Father, don’t worry. There aren’t any demonic souls in our family. Aunt Ning will be fine as long as she takes care of herself.

She decided to use Old Mr. Wen’s words to express her stand, simply because she did not want Wen Haowen to continue pestering her.
Wen Haowen sneered and said,
Your grandparents both agreed to let your Aunt Ning and I move back home. They value our child greatly. Your Grandpa won’t let you off if you dare to harm our child.

Wen Haowen decided to use Old Mr. Wen to give Wen Xinya a warning.
Wen Xinya smiled calmly and said,
Father, you’re right. Grandpa and Grandpa value your child so greatly. How could I possibly upset them? So… you’re really overthinking.

Although Wen Xinya kept her cool on the surface, she was incredibly frustrated deep down. Ning Shuqian’s return was disadvantageous to her. If Ning Shuqian were to use her child to sow discord between Wen Xinya and Old Mr. Wen, she would definitely succeed after multiple attempts. Hence… she was not exactly confident.
However, she could not move back to the Mo Family home like how she did when Xia Ruya stayed over two years ago. If she were to do so, others would merely think that she was being guilty. It would further prove that Wen Xinya had tried to harm Ning Shuqian’s baby.
