rest first. We can talk tomorrow, okay" Tang Shuwen said. When Zhao Yuning heard that Tang Shuwen still cared for her, she felt hope again.He still loved her."Shuwen, do you not plan to take care of o...The Substitute Wife of the CEO

"You dare!" Tang Shuwen almost spat out two words through clenched teeth, his gaze turning sinister as he swept it over Gu Rui. Judging from Gu Rui's tone, this child was... Tang Shuwen's expression darkened further; a tumultuous storm raged within him. The child...

"Feeling anxious" He mocked and approached him. "Tang Shuwen, do you think harming an innocent woman will make your life happy Aren't you very responsible For the sake of the child, you married Chen Xieru; now another woman is pregnant with your child. Are you going to divorce her and marry this one too How long are you going to keep hurting Yu Ning"

"Shut up!" Tang Shuwen sternly stopped him. No matter what happened to him, he wouldn't allow Gu Rui's words to go unchecked. He was incredibly frustrated that so many problems had already emerged after his recent marriage.

Yu Ning was pregnant...

For heaven’s sake, since Yu Ning returned home, they only had two encounters and took precautions. How did she get pregnant If Xieru found out about this, she would smile and congratulate him before asking for a divorce.

No!

"Tang Shuwen, if you hurt Yu Ning again, I won't forgive you. Her health is already poor; that day Chen Xieru nearly caused her to miscarry. The doctor suggested she have an abortion due to the risks of carrying a baby with her weak body condition. But she refused and insisted on keeping the child despite everything. How could you bear to hurt such a devoted woman" Gu Rui pressed forward, his eyes blazing.

Tang Shuwen fell silent; Yu Ning's health was indeed poor. Yet now he harbored an selfish thought: why didn't she have an abortion That would be better for everyone.

But then he felt that such a thought was too wicked.

"Gu Rui, how is she"

"How could it be good Unluckily for you, she's in the same hospital. Tang Shuwén, if you have any conscience left, go see her." Gu Rui said coldly. "Otherwise... when this scandal breaks out, no one will look good."

Tang Shuwén raised his eyes abruptly; a mocking smile stretched across his narrow face. "Gu Rui, are you threatening me Take a good look at who I am—Tang Shuwén—and tell me if your little tricks aren't just petty street tactics that make you look foolish in front of me."

Gu Rui's expression changed slightly; he was well aware of Tang Shuwén's reputation as the leader of the Dragon Gate, accustomed to bloodshed and violence. Who wouldn't be intimidated by his name

The eldest son of the Tang family was said to be gentle and courteous, but in reality, he was notorious for being a smiling tiger who wielded a knife with deadly precision, drenched in blood and terrorizing anyone foolish enough to challenge him. He was known as an elegant aristocrat in white-collar circles, yet feared like the King of Hell among criminals.

Gu Rui admitted to having personal motives, but he didn't think it mattered if Tang Shuwén figured that out.

"What's so special about Chen Xueyi How does she compare to Yu Ning If you're truly concerned for the child, shouldn't you care more about Yu Ning's offspring" Gu Rui asked. Tang Shuwén sneered. "I think your concern is only about saving face with Xueyi, not caring for Yu Ning."

"You must be joking. She was just a pair of old shoes to me; do you honestly believe everyone is as sentimental as you" Gu Rui's words slipped out before he could stop himself; his expression changed dramatically. Before he saw Tang Shuwén move, a throwing knife whizzed past his cheek and embedded itself into the wall with a tremble at its tip. Tang Shuwén’s face was cruel like a demon.

Gu Rui felt a sharp pain on his cheek; shocked beyond belief, he touched his injured skin, feeling the heat seeping through to his nerves. When he looked down at his hand, it was covered in blood from where the knife had grazed across his face, leaving an open wound.

"Tang Shuwén..." With a cut on his left cheek, though not deep, there was much bleeding, and his eyes were red with anger. While he clutched at his face, he glared furiously at Tang Shuwén. "I will have you sued; you'll be getting legal letters soon."

Tang Shuwen squinted his eyes dangerously and said coldly, "Gu Rui, killing you would be as easy as stepping on a cockroach. Clean up your mouth; if I hear another bad word about Xue Ru from you, the next time I'll shoot this flying dagger into your mouth."

His voice was cold and ruthless, his face like ice. Coupled with those strange skills of his, Gu Rui was momentarily stunned. He had connections with several major gangs in A City, but he had only ever seen them protecting their bosses; he hadn't witnessed any extraordinary abilities from the bosses themselves. He thought Tang Shuwen was merely relying on Longmen and Tang Si's protection to gain a reputation, but now he realized that couldn’t be further from the truth. If Tang Shuwen had aimed for his throat just then, Gu Rui wouldn't even know how he died.

Was it really because of what he said about Chen Xueru that Tang Shuwen was this angry

He didn’t intentionally speak ill of Chen Xueru; it was merely to provoke Tang Shuwen and create discord between them. He wasn't truly trying to insult her, but Tang Shuwen still dared to take action. Was he crazy

Gu Rui wasn’t some nobody who could be bullied like this.

Didn't Tang Shuwen consider the consequences

"Get lost!" Tang Shuwen said coldly. Xue Ru and Xiao Nian were about to return, and he didn't want them to overhear any inappropriate words. Gu Rui was indeed frightened by Tang Shuwen's actions and needed to tend to his injuries.

As soon as the door opened, Chen Xueru and Xiao Nian walked in. Xiao Nian looked blank; when she saw the injury on his face, Chen Xueru was slightly surprised. Gu Rui gave a mocking smile and brushed past them, brushing against Chen Xueru's shoulder as he did so. She stumbled backwards before regaining her balance.

What happened to Gu Rui

When Chen Xueru entered, Tang Shuwen looked at the small knife and turned her head, noticing it too. She was surprised and glanced at Tang Shuwen again, recalling Gu Rui's injuries, feeling somewhat uneasy inside. What did they say that led to physical confrontation

"Xueru, take out the dagger," said Tang Shuwen. Chen Xueru nodded, pulled out the flying knife, and handed it over to him. "When did the hospital start carrying such items I wasn't informed."

Tang Shuwen smiled faintly, "Wherever we go, we need some form of self-defense; hospitals are no exception."

Chen Xueru smiled and sat down with Xiao Nian in her arms, giving him a drink. He drank quietly as Tang Shuwen glanced at Chen Xueru, then reached out to hold her hand. She smiled back, reminded of the time Yu Ning came to see Gu Rui but was turned away, almost causing a miscarriage.

He smiled and patted the bed for her to sit down. After she sat, Tang Shuwen pulled her into his arms but didn't say anything. Chen Xueru held him with some concern.

"What's wrong Is there something on your mind"

"Nothing, I just want to hold you," said Tang Shuwen, muttering to himself, "Everything will be fine, I'll take care of it."

After the New Year, Warming plunged into a busy period filled with tense exams and unavoidable activities. The days were hectic and stressful.

The exam week put everyone on edge; she almost read until dawn every night.
