Liang Anya feared her own retaliation, originally wanting to have a good talk with her to pacify her, but upon hearing her words, she also became irate, retorting sarcastically: "Who told you people from A Country to be barbaric and unreasonable bandits who like to kidnap at the drop of a hat?"

"You—" Kasey, angered, stepped forward a few paces and raised her hand, but as her gaze landed on Liang Anya’s belly, she suppressed her rage and sneered: "Don’t think just because you’re pregnant that you’re something special, you’re just a breeding machine! Once you give birth to this child, you’ll be useless, the Hall Master won’t even spare you a glance, just wait and see how I deal with you then!"

Just at that moment, the door creaked open.

Si Yuheng came upstairs to see how Liang Anya’s arrangements were going, pushing the door open as he entered.

Kasey immediately quieted down, switched her expression to a warm smile, and took a half step forward to support Liang Anya, "You should rest."

Then she turned her head, speaking softly to Si Yuheng: "The room is all tidied up, the one facing the south with the best sunlight."

Si Yuheng looked around, nodding in satisfaction: "Well done."

Liang Anya snorted disdainfully, pulling her arm out of Kasey’s grip, too lazy to play along with her act, her face wrinkled, she sniffled: "The room arrangements are indeed good, but... could you maybe not shout at people?"

Kasey hated her so much, there’s no way she’d dare to let Kasey take care of her.

Even if she wouldn’t dare to poison her, just spitting in her food regularly was enough to injure her.

Better to take the chance and dispatch her far away.

Kasey’s face froze.

Si Yuheng frowned: "What happened?"

Liang Anya cradled her belly: "She just loudly said I am useless, it’s fine if she scolds me, but what if the child hears? If I am useless, wouldn’t that make this child a little useless one too? Who knows if it will affect the baby’s mental and physical development!"

Ha, isn’t this man most concerned about prenatal education?

Even last time when that driver cursed at her, Si Yuheng intimidated him into apologizing, fearing it would affect the prenatal education.

She didn’t believe he would continue to trust Kasey to take care of her!

As expected, Si Yuheng’s expression soured, he looked at Kasey: "Did you say that?"

"I... I..." Kasey, at a loss, only knew that Liang Anya had always been at odds with the Hall Master, not expecting her to tattle in front of him.

Si Yuheng understood, irritated: "Enough. You needn’t take care of her anymore."

Kasey knew she was probably in for some punishment, fearful: "Hall Master, I was wrong, I won’t say those things again..."

"Get lost." The deep blue of his iris flashed, on the verge of a storm.

Kasey had no choice but to glare at Liang Anya secretly and leave the room.

Finally rid of Kasey’s personal care, Liang Anya sighed in relief, only to hear Si Yuheng speak out loud, giving instructions to a subordinate outside the door:

"Move all my personal belongings over here."

"Yes, Hall Master."

What? Liang Anya almost choked, barely catching her breath: "Move what over here? You want to sleep in my room?"

"Hmm."

Liang Anya was stunned for a second: "There are so many rooms in this villa, why stay here with me? My room is so small, how could it accommodate a big shot like you?"

Si Yuheng’s brow furrowed slightly: "You don’t want Kasey to take care of you, and now in the villa, other than the hourly maids that come to cook and clean, there are no other women. Until we find a suitable nanny, I’ll have to take care of you personally."

"I don’t need anyone to take care of me! I’m just pregnant, not paralyzed!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Si Yuheng pinched her chin, silencing her continued complaints: "Let me say this again, the child in your stomach might be Beiming Hall’s future heir, not an ordinary child, very important. Do you understand?"

Liang Anya internally rolled her eyes several times, saying no more, but her eyes darted around: "It’s getting late, I haven’t gone back since I went shopping, Xiaoyi must be so worried, let me call her."

Si Yuheng could guess her intentions, chuckling: "Why, looking to her for rescue?"

She hesitated: "No."

"Then just stay put for me. As for Miss Chu, if you behave, I will send someone to call and tell her. You don’t need to worry; once you’ve had the child, wherever you want to go, it’s none of my business."

Liang Anya knew that Si Yuheng was determined this time and wouldn’t let her have the chance to escape no matter what.

Her rebellion was utterly futile.

Must she really give birth to this child?

Why had she become so unlucky as to be soft-imprisoned by a man and forced to give birth before she could have her freedom!

She couldn’t help but feel a sourness at the tip of her nose, and her eyes reddened: "Si Yuheng, can you please let me go, I really don’t want this child..."

This was the first time she had ever begged him like this.

Si Yuheng’s eyelids twitched, and his cat-like jewel-like eyes shone with an inexplicable luster as he stared at her.

Huh? It seems there might be a chance? Liang Anya cried even harder: "Si Yuheng, I’m begging you, just look around you, there are so many busty beauties with 36E’s, each one prettier than the next, with such great genes, and they are all so loyal and tender to you. A child born from me would definitely be like me, always opposing and arguing with you every day, do you really want a little rascal who annoys you constantly? For the sake of Beiming Hall’s next generation successor, if anyone is to give birth, it should be them... Boo hoo hoo..."

"Enough," he said sharply, cutting her off.

Liang Anya felt a surge of hope. Could it be that he had seen reason?

Si Yuheng lifted a finger, wiping away her tears, and scolded: "Crying is bad for the fetus. If I see you cry again, I’ll have a gunman shoot a hole through your father’s house’s glass window."

She suppressed the urge to curse at him!

This man was truly a paranoid lunatic, fixated on the child in her belly!

Seeing that he was once again threatening her using her father and brother, she could only clench her fists and keep her mouth shut.

Si Yuheng, seeing that she had finally calmed down, left the bedroom and instructed the hourly maid to prepare a meal.

*

Once the meal was prepared, the maid brought it into the bedroom.

The dinner was strictly in accordance with the pregnant woman’s menu as per Si Yuheng’s strict instructions.

Still angry, Liang Anya let the food sit to one side and found a magazine in the bedroom to flip through.

Even the magazines were all pregnancy and infant-themed.

The maid said that the Hall Master Si had mentioned that a pregnant woman should not look at entertainment gossip or social news, as it is not good for prenatal education.

She had the impulse to tear up the magazine but eventually suppressed it.

Apart from reading magazines, there wasn’t much else to do for entertainment.

Her phone had been confiscated, and the use of TV and computer was even more strictly regulated; she couldn’t touch them at all.

"Miss Liang, please eat," the hourly maid urged at her side.

Just now she really wanted to tear up these pregnancy and infant magazines, but as she flipped through them, Liang Anya actually found herself getting addicted to reading and kept turning the pages: "Not hungry. I won’t eat!"

"But the Hall Master has made it a rule that you must eat on time, otherwise it’s not good for the baby," the maid said helplessly.

Pfft, as if everyone isn’t somebody’s baby.

She too is the precious baby of her daddy and brother, isn’t she!

And yet now she is being held in confinement in this villa by this man, to have his child, who could she even complain to?

Liang Anya continued to flip through the magazine: "I said I won’t eat, and I won’t eat, your nagging is also not good for the baby!"

Just then, the door opened.
