Huo Zhenyang not only did not put her down, but he walked straight towards Nie Yixiao and his group as if he was afraid that Nie Yixiao would not see them.

Several people heard the footsteps and looked over.

Jiayi’s and Nie Yixiao’s gazes met exactly, as if scorched, even more embarrassed than before. She struggled again, wanting to get down to the ground.

Huo Zhenyang’s facial expression darkened with a trace of dissatisfaction and instead tightened his grip on the woman in his arms, showing no intention of letting go.

Far from releasing her, he walked past Nie Yixiao and his group while holding Jiayi as if he was particularly making sure Nie Yixiao saw them.

Seeing that he had no intention of letting her go, Jiayi turned her face away.

In her current state, should she even greet Brother Yixiao?

Only then did he feel pleased, pushing her head into his chest neither lightly nor heavily, and raised his voice to call out: "George, is the car ready?"

George drove a Bentley out of the garage, got out, and opened the door: "Boss, you and Miss Chu can leave at any time, and the hospital has been notified."

"Hmm." He put Jiayi into the passenger seat, got in the car, buckled her up, and then slowly drove out of Huo Mansion.

Watching the departing car, several subordinates from the security detail exchanged glances without saying a word, then looked towards their superior.

They all knew that the boss was concerned about Miss Chu, but now Miss Chu had moved back to Disheng.

And on the first day, the boss had witnessed such a gruesome scene...

Now the boss was protecting Qiao Yongyong, and it was inevitable that he would often come to Huo Mansion. If he frequently saw Huo Zhenyang and Miss Chu being so intimate, wouldn’t he definitely feel uncomfortable?

Thinking is one thing, but none dared to say it outright.

Nie Yixiao’s expression was indifferent, as if personal matters did not affect his mood: "What are you dawdling for? Get to work."

Only then did the subordinates scatter, beginning to patrol around the villa.

After the subordinates left, Nie Yixiao’s gaze was cast in the direction of the Bentley’s departure, his eyes focused intently.

She has moved back into Disheng.

Just now, when Huo Zhenyang was carrying her with the injured foot, he saw the anxiety on his face so clearly.

This time, Huo Zhenyang would not let her leave his side for a step, surely clutching her tightly in his palm.

Perhaps, she is really about to walk out of his life.

Loss and melancholy swept through Nie Yixiao’s heart.

The injured area around his chest even started to ache faintly.

However, his experience had also shaped his rational temperament, and he quickly lifted his spirits.

"Seeing Miss Chu moving into Disheng, you’re not in a good mood, are you?"

The sweet and slightly seductive voice wafted over.

Without looking back, Nie Yixiao knew who it was, turned around, his voice displeased: "It seems that the matter with Inoue has just passed, and you start to idle again?"

"I’m not just idle, I’m bored out of my mind. Otherwise, will you accompany me to go out for a stroll?" Qiao Yongyong clapped her hands behind her back, chirping beside him, lowering her voice: "I’ve already inquired. Today Huo Zhenyang is accompanying Miss Chu for a medical examination, and then they’re going to pick up Zaizai. They probably won’t be back until the evening at the earliest. Just sneak me out for a few hours, he won’t know."

Nie Yixiao couldn’t be bothered to talk to her: "Please cooperate with our work, go upstairs, into the room."

Qiao Yongyong pouted, looking like an old lady, gripping his sleeve: "Just accompany me out to have some fun. Look, I’ve been in Yunling for so long and haven’t had a proper outing once, I’m almost suffocated. Do you have the heart to let me be?"

"Why wouldn’t I be able to bear it??" Nie Yixiao flung her hand away, preparing to take her upstairs.

"Nie Yixiao, you’re so cold-blooded." Qiao Yongyong stomped her foot, genuinely getting a bit angry, "To think I searched for your diamond ring in the swimming pool all night until I got a fever, to think I ran to the hotel to stand up for you despite the dangers, and you won’t even take me out for a bit of fun, you’re unwilling to do even such a small thing!"

Nie Yixiao looked at the restless monkey beside him and finally couldn’t help feeling impatient, pinching her chin, "Has anyone ever told you that you’re more troublesome than a three-year-old child?"

"No, those who said that were all dealt with by my brother!" she huffed.

He felt a mix of amusement and irritation, but somehow, in that instant, his gloomy mood lifted a bit.

He glanced at Qiao Yongyong and headed straight upstairs.

Seeing that he was still ignoring her, she bit her lip feeling helpless but returned to her room.

No sooner had she returned to her room and spaced out as usual when she saw the door pushed open and a figure walked in.

Qiao Yongyong pursed her lips, "Why have you come back again?"

He said indifferently, "Aren’t we going out? I need to make arrangements."

Qiao Yongyong’s eyes lit up, unbelieving like in a dream, "You’ve agreed to take me out for fun? You’re not lying to me, are you?"

Would he really deceive a young girl? Nie Yixiao raised his eyebrow, "Are we going or not?"

"Mhm!" Qiao Yongyong was like a child who finally got a candy in her mouth, promptly following Nie Yixiao downstairs.

After completing the check-up at the hospital, Jiayi was waiting in the VIP rest area of the hospital.

Most of the test results came back quickly, available on the same day they were done.

After a while, she heard footsteps approaching and looked towards the door.

Huo Zhenyang was holding several medical reports, talking with a doctor as he walked in.

The doctor greeted Jiayi and said, "Miss Chu’s indicators are all normal, her health is very good, and the previous miscarriage did not cause any damage. Enough time has passed, and she can think about getting pregnant anytime without any negative effects."

Her cheeks flushed deeply, intending to explain that she hadn’t considered getting pregnant anytime soon, but it seemed the more she tried to explain, the worse it sounded, so she just mumbled awkwardly.

The doctor, seeing her not speaking, took it as agreement and continued to caution, "However, many women are prone to instability in subsequent pregnancies after one miscarriage, which could lead to habitual miscarriages, so be extra careful next time you get pregnant."

His words veered more and more outrageous, she took a deep breath, stirred the hem of her clothes and finally couldn’t help but interrupt, "...I understand, doctor."

Huo Zhenyang saw how she was almost dying of embarrassment and finally opened his mouth with a light smile, "There won’t be a next time, doctor."

After the check-up, he, as usual, carried her into the car and drove towards the kindergarten to pick up Little Baozi.

Fresh air rushes towards her, and the heat across her body dissipated a bit.

They reached the kindergarten just as school was letting out.

Before arriving, Huo Zhenyang had called Zaizai’s homeroom teacher in advance, asking her to bring Zaizai out.

Now, the teacher was waiting at the entrance with several little buns, waiting for their respective moms and dads.

Jiayi was sitting in the car, Huo Zhenyang unfastened his seat belt, ready to get out of the car and pick up Zaizai.

Zaizai was frolicking with two little friends, when he saw the familiar car stopping at the kindergarten gate, and saw his daddy and mommy inside the car, he immediately raised his voice and called out:

"Daddy! Mommy!"
