Chapter 422 - 436: This is An City, I don’t have the ability to deal with him yet.
Liao Tingxiao walked over to the coffee table, leaned down, and flicked the ash from his cigarette into the ashtray: "You know I have feelings for Han Xi, so why do you have to provoke her? There are many ways for you to get close to Lu Jinghan.""Brother, if sister-in-law finds out about this, she will kill both you and Han Xi."
"I’m no longer the Liao Tingxiao from a few years ago who had to rely on her family’s influence to survive in this industry. We now have our own drug production base and distribution network, and we don’t need to fear anyone."
Liao Tingxiao sat with his legs crossed in front of the sofa and continued: "Han Xi is the person I must have no matter what, so you cannot touch her anymore, understand?"
"Hmm, I understand."
Liao Tingting nodded reluctantly: "Then you also cannot touch Lu Jinghan."
"This is An City; I don’t have the ability to deal with him, so don’t worry."
"Brother, can you bring me the coffee on the table?" Liao Tingting shifted her body, lazily leaning against the back of the sofa.
Liao Tingxiao leaned over to pass the coffee cup to her: "Did you really hurt your leg by falling?"
"What else do you think?"
Liao Tingting took a sip of coffee and shrugged casually, clearly not intending to tell the truth. She nearly got crippled by the man she liked; she still needs to keep her dignity.
"Then I’ll go now, remember to call me if you need anything."
Liao Tingxiao exhaled a puff of smoke, leaned down to extinguish the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and left the villa.

In the afternoon, Fu Bin accompanied Chu Ci to the hospital for a prenatal checkup.
Han Xi couldn’t accompany them due to a last-minute patient needing her attention, but she specifically called the obstetrician, Doctor Wang, asking her to thoroughly check Chu Ci.
Chu Ci lay flat on the bed, glancing sideways at Fu Bin before lifting her clothes: "Can you go out first?"
"I’m the child’s father, why are you feeling shy?"
Fu Bin looked very justified, showing no intention of leaving.
Beside them, Doctor Wang adjusted the black frame on the bridge of her nose, teasingly said: "It’s not another man, it’s your husband, what’s there to be shy about? You can’t deprive someone of the right to see their child."
Chu Ci frowned and glared at Fu Bin, raising her hand to lift her blouse, regretting that she had agreed to let him come along.
Fu Bin’s gaze remained fixed on the images on the computer, showing undeniable joy on his face: "Doctor, is this my daughter?"
"It might not be a daughter."
Doctor Wang gently moved the instrument over Chu Ci’s slightly rounded belly, pointing at the computer screen with her left hand: "Look, this is the baby’s little head."
Fu Bin stepped closer, watching the images on the screen with "whoosh" sounds, instinctively clasping Chu Ci’s hand hanging by her side.
Chu Ci was slightly stunned, attempting to withdraw her hand, but someone tightened their grip even more.
"The baby’s development is very healthy; the baby is now three months old, so appropriate spouse intimacy is fine."
Doctor Wang casually remarked.
Chu Ci nearly blurted out the fact that they weren’t spouses, but Fu Bin spoke first: "Thank you for the reminder, Doctor Wang; I understand."
Fu Bin helped Chu Ci sit up from the bed, paying no attention to Chu Ci’s face, which was about to burst with anger.
"Doctor Wang, is there anything else that pregnant women need to be aware of? Like dietary and exercise considerations..."
