Shi Xinxin turned back, somewhat surprised, "What's wrong?"
"Lock the door first, and I'll check the situation outside!" Lin Qianqian looked around vigilantly, afraid that the owner of the house, or some unwelcome guest, would sneak into the room.
Shi Xinxin hurriedly complied when she heard this.
Lin Qianqian locked the door from the inside, then crouched down and quietly approached the living room.
She glanced outside through the peephole.
Indeed, three men in black were standing outside the door.
All three men wore sunglasses and suits, carrying weapons, and exuded a murderous aura.
They were staring at the main door, seemingly observing the movements inside the house, and occasionally checking their watches.
"Are they... waiting for someone?" An ominous premonition welled up in Lin Qianqian's heart.
Shi Xinxin also noticed this, her eyes filled with fear.
She quickly ran to the window and looked down. She saw the eyes of the three men glancing at the main door from time to time, seeming very nervous, as if afraid of being discovered.
Shi Xinxin immediately had a bad feeling.
She quickly dialed Sheng Chenjin's number.
Sheng Chenjin answered quickly, "Hello?"
"Where are you now?" Shi Xinxin asked anxiously.
"I'm at home, is something wrong?" Sheng Chenjin replied casually.
Shi Xinxin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Hurry to the garden outside!"
"Why?" Sheng Chenjin frowned.
Shi Xinxin bit her lip and grumbled unhappily, "Why so many questions? Just come over quickly."
"Okay." Sheng Chenjin hung up the phone, got up, and walked outside.
"You three wait here. If there's any sign of trouble, report it immediately!" a man said to them.
"Yes!" the three replied in unison.
Sheng Chenjin soon arrived in the garden and saw the three men from afar.
"What's so serious?" Sheng Chenjin asked.
Shi Xinxin walked up to him, pointed upstairs, and said, "Go upstairs quickly and take a look! They're here!"
Sheng Chenjin raised an eyebrow at this, "What? They? Who?"
"It's..." Shi Xinxin stammered, unsure how to tell Sheng Chenjin, finding it difficult to articulate.
Sheng Chenjin was impatient and dissatisfied, "Speak! Who is it? I'll go take a look!"
"It's your father and his friends!" Shi Xinxin said with resolve.
"What?!" Sheng Chenjin's eyes widened in surprise, "Are you sure? They're looking for you?"
"Mhm." Shi Xinxin lowered her head, not daring to meet Sheng Chenjin's gaze.
Sheng Chenjin narrowed his eyes and curled his lips coldly, "Fine, if you won't say it, I'll go see for myself!"
Sheng Chenjin turned to leave.
Shi Xinxin quickly stopped him, "Don't go! No matter what, this is no small matter! Besides, my father is still in a coma in the hospital, and his friends are looking for me. If you anger them again, what if they take my father away in a fit of pique?"
Shi Xinxin's concern made Sheng Chenjin fall silent for a moment.
He knew Shi Xinxin's father worked at Lin's Group and that their father-daughter relationship was quite strained. Therefore, he had no intention of making enemies with Lin's adversaries, as he couldn't afford the consequences.
A cold sneer appeared on his lips, and he said to Lin Qianqian, "Alright! Then tell us which room they are in? We'll go up ourselves."
Shi Xinxin hesitated, then pointed to a door on the left.
"Okay, I got it." Sheng Chenjin snorted coldly, then strode towards the door on the left.
He easily pushed open the door and saw a tall man standing with his back to him on the windowsill, holding a mobile phone in one hand and a cigarette in the other, smoking.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, he slowly turned his head, only to find the space behind him empty, with only a young, beautiful girl staring at him blankly.
Sheng Chenjin raised his eyebrows, "What? Don't you have anything to say?"
"Ah? Oh, no, nothing... Please, sit down." Lin Qianqian reacted and quickly pointed to a sofa.
Sheng Chenjin didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly. He looked at the furnishings in the room and found nothing but a bed, a table, chairs, and a coffee table, clearly not a place where someone would live.
Lin Qianqian sat beside him, "Young Master Chen, are you here to see my father? Are you and my father... good friends?"
Sheng Chenjin smiled faintly, "No, just some business dealings. I didn't expect to run into him today. I thought we wouldn't meet at the hospital tonight."
Lin Qianqian's expression changed slightly, and she quickly asked, "You and my father... is it really just some business dealings?"
Sheng Chenjin shrugged, "Of course not. If it were just business, why would the room be decorated like this?"
"..." Shi Xinxin gave an awkward laugh.
"Don't you have a lot to say to me? Why aren't you starting now?" Sheng Chenjin asked.
"I..." Shi Xinxin gritted her teeth, "My father is a bit emotionally agitated, which is why he's refusing treatment... I hope you can persuade him not to do anything foolish, it's not worth it."
"Foolish?" Sheng Chenjin's eyes narrowed dangerously.
Shi Xinxin's face turned somewhat pale, but she remained stubborn, "Yes, his mental state is unstable."
"Who is he to you?" Sheng Chenjin asked with a cold laugh, "Why do you think I would help you?"
Hearing this, Lin Qianqian showed a bitter smile, "I know you've always had a bad impression of me..."
"Since you know that, you should understand that I can't give up the person I love most for you! So, stop dreaming!" Sheng Chenjin said coldly.
"It's not like that, I..."
Sheng Chenjin's gaze suddenly sharpened, "Then what is it like?"
Shi Xinxin bit her lip, lowered her head, and whispered, "I'm pregnant."
Pregnant? Sheng Chenjin was stunned.
His gaze was somewhat complex.
Shi Xinxin's face blushed, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Sheng Chenjin.
Sheng Chenjin remained silent for a long time.
Shi Xinxin looked up, carefully observing his expression, only to find that his expression remained calm and unruffled.
"What are your plans?" Sheng Chenjin finally asked.
Shi Xinxin pursed her lips and said, "I... don't know yet."
"Don't know? You don't know, so you're going to abort the child?" Sheng Chenjin said sarcastically.
Shi Xinxin's heart ached sharply, and she lowered her head.
"Since you don't know, then keep it!" Sheng Chenjin's tone was icy, devoid of any warmth.
Shi Xinxin looked up at him, her eyes gradually reddening, and tears streamed down her face, "Don't you know I love children very much? I really can't bear to abort it!"
"Then you're going to abort it? Have you considered my feelings? If you want to have this child, then you will have it with me!"
