Su Xiaofei merely looked at him, aware of how close he was to her now. She had no doubt that Lu Qingfeng would do anything to keep her safe. However, she didn't want him to commit another mistake because of her again.

When he lowered his lips to her for a kiss, she pushed her worries away and let herself feel him. The kiss was like water for a parched soul--their hands clutching desperately to each other, wanting to say the words that neither weren't able to voice out. Both were aware that they could never be without the other.

One minute, they were in the kitchen preparing their dinner and the next thing Su Xiaofei knew, she was pinned beneath the muscled form of her husband on the bed, unclothed. His grunts of pleasure rivaled her moans. The sounds they were making only got louder and faster as they worked to reach the pinnacle of their pleasure.

They made love until she couldn't think of anything else and feel anything but the pleasure coursing through her extremely satiated body. It made her think that makeup sex with Lu Qingfeng was far better than anything they previously had.

After Lu Qingfeng drew her a warm bath and fed her a small meal for dinner, Su Xiaofei dozed off, unaware of how intense his eyes were on her. He pulled up the blanket over her naked form next to him, her face serene in her sleep. He regretted making her cry, but the fear that he would lose her again got the better of him.

"You can't die on me, Feifei. I won't let you." Lu Qingfeng said with despair.

His phone rang and he immediately picked it up, seeing that it was Nine calling him late that night.

"Master, I've already sorted the possible scenarios on how the madam got poisoned, and amongst them one fits the circumstances." Nine didn't waste time and delivered his report.

"And that is?" Lu Qingfeng's eyes and voice turned cold and dark.

"They used Madam Yun to poison her. Zhang Ling and Zhang Land said that the only time they didn't test Madam's food and drinks is when she's having a meal with her mother."

"I see."

Lu Qingfeng understood right then that his wife didn't bother to do it because she trusted Yun Qingrong and she didn't want her mother to suspect anything. Since the one who poisoned his wife wouldn't be able to get past the Zhang sisters' security, they opted to use someone who's close to Su Xiaofei instead.

Yun Qingrong would surely be horrified if she knew this. She would be heartbroken if she knew that she was the one who allowed others to hurt his daughter. Lu Qingfeng knew then that he needed to be cautious when they broke the news to his mother-in-law. She was still recovering from her recent illness and he didn't want her to blame herself for Su Xiaofei's condition.

Han Zijun said that the poison she ingested was still considered a small amount compared to what she got during the stabbing incident years ago. The doctor assumed that whoever was behind the poisoning, wanted Su Xiaofei to ingest the poison in small amounts but consistently.

Lu Qingfeng knew that Su Xiaofei had been visiting her mother at the Yun Estate weekly and having afternoon tea with his mother-in-law. It made sense why Nine would suspect that Su Xiaofei had gotten poisoned there.

"Find out who contacted my mother-in-law over these last few weeks and trace if they are somewhat related to Ye Mingyu or Chen Hao. Let me know as soon as possible and don't let anyone know about this until we get to the bottom of it."

He couldn't think of anyone else who wanted to hurt Su Xiaofei other than Ye Mingyu. Lu Qingfeng doubted that Chen Hao was involved though. If anything, that annoying pest wouldn't want Su Xiaofei dead.

"I understand, Master. I will continue my investigation and will report to you as soon as I find out more."

It seemed to him that no matter how he tried to change the course of his life, there were things that he couldn't totally avoid, just like the situations that are threatening to become a tyrant again.

Lu Qingfeng had tried his best not to commit serious crimes in this lifetime for Su Xiaofei's sake, but this time was different, now that his wife and children's lives were involved. They'd dare to touch his bottomline and there would be repercussions.

'Sorry, Feifei. If I need to become a tyrant again to protect you, I'll commit those sins willingly all over again.'

After ending the call, Lu Qingfeng went back to his wife's side and pulled out his laptop. He began browsing and reading medical articles about pregnancy and how to take care of his pregnant wife. If Su Xiaofei had seen this, there was no doubt that she would laugh at him.

Ah, he practically turned 180 degrees and jumped into her boat as soon as he'd seen his children at the ultrasound. Knowing that she was carrying his children... not just one, but two, filled Lu Qingfeng with immense bliss and excitement.

He was so tempted to announce her pregnancy along with their marriage, but Lu Qingfeng knew that it wasn't the right time yet. Not until he was able to get rid of the threats that were lurking, waiting to harm his wife.

He pondered if he should ask his assistant to appoint a medical staff on standby, aside from Xi Qian, who could take care of his wife. If anything happened to her, Lu Qingfeng didn't trust himself to have a sane mind later.

Since Su Xiaofei refused to stop working at Bluemedia, he could only compensate by making sure she wouldn't overwork herself, now that she was pregnant. Luckily, she had already handed over Tang Liyan's management to Zhao Yi so she had one less talent to look after.
