Old Madam Li and Madam Li stood up in shock. In dismay, they reached forward to inspect the girl but one look from Li Yuan had them halting.
He brought his hand on her face and patted her cheeks. He fiercely shook her but to no avail, she didn't budge.
He opened her eyes to see them dilated. He picked her Bridal style and laid her in his lap as he sat on the sofa. He had a crazed look in his eyes.
"Xinyi! Xinyi! Get up! d.a.m.n it!" He was practically shouting.
He looked around frantically, picked a gla.s.s of water from the table, and sprinkled some on her.
He was feeling his heart beating abnormally. He was for the first time scared. He had given her a custom-made drug. It was well experimented but...
But could it be because of the drug's side effect, right? He didn't know what he will do in that case.
Anything could happen to her. Just because he was f*cking desperate to keep her close to him, he had risked her life.
Madam Li was fidgeting nervously, If something happened to the Lu's wench. All the blame will fall upon her. After all, she was the one who had dragged the girl to all this.
She had already called for the Family Doctor, who will hardly take minutes to arrive.
Her heart was beating at an abnormal pace. The girl's stomach looked as flat as a 120-pound-bikini Model's would. How could she have known?!
There was no giveaway, and if she was in her initial days, the chances of miscarriage were more. At the thought, cold sweat left her.
They wouldn't spare her if Li Yuan's first-born son got a miscarriage because of her provocation. h.e.l.l! Li Yuan wouldn't forgive her!
As chauvinist as that sounds. It was a presumed kind of fact. The Li Family was a male dominant Family through and through. Even in genes.
A daughter conceived in the Li Family was almost unheard of.
Old Madam Li was just as much shaken but was good at concealing it. She signaled her one of her maid to come forward.
"Li Yuan, yo..you are doing your child no good by holding her and shaking her like that. The maid is medically trained. Till the Doctor arrives, let her have a look." Old Madam Li said in a small voice, avoiding eye contact with Li Yuan.
The maid came close to check Lei Xinyi's pulse when Li Yuan glared at her stopping her in her steps. She shivered visibly and stepped back.
Li Yuan buried Lei Xinyi's head in his chest. With one hand he held her head and with the other, he was caressing her back, possessively.
Caressing, he felt something hard on her skin and furrowed his brows. He examined it with his fingers and found a cut in the dress, only to feel b.u.t.terfly st.i.tches poorly applied.
What the f*ck?!
His Fingers felt something oozing from the wound. Blood. So... that's where he got blood on his fingers from!
Where did she even get the wound from?!
He clenched his jaw hard as his glare and aura intensified. He wanted to f*cking yell at her for bleeding and not telling him she was in pain. He would have helped her! d.a.m.n it!
n.o.body saw Li Yuan's discovery as Lei Xinyi's back was facing the couch.
Old Madam Li took a hesitant step forward, "Let her have a look, Li Yuan."
Li Yuan turned his razor-sharp glare to her. It was her fault too, couldn't they simply accept for once the presence of a woman in his life without scaring for her life?!
Old Master Li who was looking at the commotion pa.s.sively drummed his cane twice on the Oak floor, "Wait for the Doctors! I don't want morons toying with my first Grandson."
At once Li Yuan was jerked back to reality. He couldn't let the Family Doctor inspect her. He will be able to tell straightway that neither was she pregnant nor was the hormones or dizziness caused by them.
He needed to take her away from here and fast because she needed medical a.s.sistance. She was injured, and he didn't know how serious it was yet. But he couldn't take a risk, not with her...
Li Yuan picked her up Bridal Style then carried her halfway across the Gazebo.
n.o.body knew what he was doing carrying her away like this. But each of them held their tongue.
A wise man would never want to be at the end of his fury!
"Mind my lack of manners but I think I have had enough of your hospitality for a day... Don't think I didn't notice the lack of lipstick mark on the supposed 'half-drunk' cup of tea." Li Yuan said monotonously, but the message was loud and clear.
He didn't want them sharing his happiness or pain because he thought they didn't deserve it.
No one stopped him and Madam Li rushed behind them but Old Madam Li knew better... He will shun her in a short while then she will be back here.
With that said Li Yuan walked out of the Gazebo with fast angry strides.
Old Madam Li's eyes at once drifted to the cup of tea she had asked the maid to set. She closed her eyes and let out a frustrated sigh.
Sometimes her Grandson intelligence and keen observation made her too angry. She couldn't believe a wretched tramp made her despicable for his Baby Grandson!
"I see... Your tricks are rusting with age." Old Madam Li turned around to see Old Master Li smirking at her.
Old Madam Li narrowed her eyes, huffed, and sat back down.
This wasn't supposed to end with the Lu wench in her Grandson's arms!
Li Yuan rushed past the Li's Ancestral Mansion hallways in a hurry. Avoiding his Mother who was trying to talk to him.
He loved his Mother and Grandmother with all their flaws, but he really needed to give them a boundary check! And they'll respect it!
Today was enough. It was the limit of his patience for them.
He had his driver with him and he was sitting in the backseat with an unconscious Lei Xinyi in his arm. She was getting colder with every pa.s.sing second. Her already pale skin was getting even paler.
He was agitated, and though he wouldn't really agree but he was concerned.
