Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1379: Chapter 1379: He Had a Son?

Mo Lan’s wounds needed immediate attention.

There were several family doctors in the castle, and when two female doctors arrived, they showed no surprise at Mo Lan’s injuries, as they had become accustomed to them.

Yet they still felt sympathy for her, pitying her.

The worst of Mo Lan’s injuries were on her back, so they had her lie on her stomach to rest.

But she also had injuries on her front, and lying on them inevitably pressed on the wounds, causing her constant pain and preventing her from sleeping well.

Two maids stayed by her side to care for her, not daring to leave.

Lele also lay beside the bed guarding her, too distraught even to think about dinner.

Time passed, and Mo Lan developed a high fever. The maids quickly called for the family doctor again, and after some effort, they managed to lower her temperature somewhat.

...

Inside Nangong Castle.

Qi Ruisen stood in front of the study window, his hands gripping the railing, his eyes cold and sharp as he stared into the distance.

Today he had received a text message from his informant placed within the Qi Family.

The message was brief—”Red Alert.”

”Red Alert” meant that Mo Lan had been tortured by Qi Ruigang again, and it was severe.

Severe, that was a Red Alert.

Not severe, then it would be a Blue Alert.

If she was unharmed, it would be a Yellow Alert.

Since six years ago, Mo Lan had frequently been tormented, sometimes more severely than others.

Each time she was tortured was because she had spoken a word to him or their eyes had met.

Initially, he hadn’t realized that Mo Lan was being tortured, nor did he know that she had been enduring so much pain because of him.

Once he noticed, he dared not speak to her or meet her anymore...

Even to spare her further suffering, he had left the Qi Family and moved here.

And that had turned into four and a half years.

Yet today, because of their accidental meeting, Mo Lan had been tortured again...

Qi Ruisen clenched the railing, his eyes dark and fierce.

He swore that he would personally eliminate Qi Ruigang, that beast who would be left with nothing!

...

In Nangong Wenxiang’s study.

Jian Yufei repeated the words Qi Ruisen had said, ”Is everything he said true?”

Nangong Wenxiang nodded appreciatively, ”Ruisen is indeed very smart. I only told him that if I help him take over the Qi Family, he would support Ansel in the future. I did not expect him to deduce so much and guess it all correctly.”

”So, Nangong Xu really harbors ill intentions?”

”Yes.”

Jian Yufei, puzzled, asked, ”Knowing full well his intentions, why would you still engage my mother to him?”

Nangong Wenxiang said indifferently, ”They were betrothed as children, and to consolidate the power of the Nangong Family, they must marry.”

”But he wants to get rid of you!”

Nangong Wenxiang sighed, ”If I had no sons, and he married Ruyue, after my death, this position would still be his. It’s only regrettable... he killed my son!”

”What did you say?!” Jian Yufei was shocked. He had had a son?

”Your mother had a brother, who died in his teens...”

”...”

Nangong Wenxiang did not show any signs of sorrow, he said coldly, ”He wants to wipe out my descendants, huh, he would need the capability to do that! In any case, we cannot let his ambitions succeed, otherwise you all would be in danger!”

Jian Yufei nodded, indeed, at this point, they could not let Nangong Xu’s ambitions succeed.

Otherwise, he would not spare her mother, not spare her, and certainly not spare Ansel.
