Chapter 6: Ugly People Make a Scene

"Even if you don't care about me, shouldn't you care about the child in my belly?" Xia Wanwan's voice was thick with tears and exhaustion, her desperate state immediately eliciting sympathy from the onlookers.

Seeing that her belly had not yet bulged, they guessed she must have only recently become pregnant.

A person in the early stages of pregnancy required meticulous care; otherwise, it was easy to suffer a miscarriage.

Thus, these highly sympathetic spectators all swarmed outside Yan Zhi's room, incessantly pounding on his door.

Various accusations and insults flew, the brunt of which was directed at Yan Zhi, who was inside preparing to undress and sleep.

"Oh my, sir, please just open the door! Your wife might be a bit ugly, but at least she's carrying your flesh and blood!" Fearing the crowd would break the door down, the shopkeeper hurried from the first floor to the second to persuade them gently.

"Hurry and open the door, let your wife in! Being ugly isn't her fault; once the candlelight is blown out at night, everyone looks the same."

"Exactly! Since you took her and she's pregnant with your child, you have to take responsibility!"

"Another man who favors the new and abandons the old."

Waves of curses washed over the room.

Zuo Chao naturally heard Xia Wanwan's tearful complaints as well.

Hearing these people's discussions, he nearly lost control.

His master was the esteemed Prince of the Sheng Territory, a man renowned and revered by tens of thousands.

Who wouldn't fear his master? Who wouldn't serve him with the utmost caution upon seeing him?

How could he allow a mere woman to slander him like this?

Just as Zuo Chao pushed through the crowd and walked behind Xia Wanwan, preparing to deal with her directly using the most primitive method...

With a 'creak,' Yan Zhi's door opened. With a cold expression, he grabbed Xia Wanwan like an eagle clutching a chick and hauled her into the room.

With a 'bang!' the door slammed shut.

Leaving the crowd standing dazed outside.

When the door opened, they had seen Yan Zhi's face clearly.

What a handsome face!

It seemed as if all the beautiful words in the world were insufficient to describe his countenance.

Furthermore, his attire was extraordinary and his temperament noble; one glance told them he was no ordinary person.

At this moment, the people standing in the middle of the corridor were somewhat bewildered.

Was it truly as the young girl had said?

That man surely wouldn't take an interest in such an ugly woman, would he?

Would such a handsome and elegant man get her pregnant?

Even if he were blind, it shouldn't be like this.

That would simply be lowering his own status.

They couldn't help but feel that their previous actions had been mistaken.

They exchanged glances and dispersed.

After Yan Zhi hauled Xia Wanwan into the room, he pressed her directly against the corner. With one hand against the wall, he caged her with the other. "Tell me, when exactly did I get you pregnant?"

What on earth was going through this girl's head?

His sculpted face was exceptionally grim.

His thick eyebrows were slightly upturned at the ends, and beneath his long, slightly curled lashes, his dark and deep eyes were like a frigid pool.

Xia Wanwan lost herself in thought—why did a man have to be so good-looking?

A demon.

The chill from Yan Zhi's body quickly infected her. His aura was too powerful, and Xia Wanwan couldn't help but shiver.

This person didn't seem as easy to talk to as he appeared on the surface.

It's over. If she had known, she wouldn't have messed with the tiger.

Yan Zhi took a step forward, making her space even smaller. She could feel his breath lingering by her ear. "Since you want me to get you pregnant so badly, why don't I grant your wish and start right now? How about it?"

Although Xia Wanwan liked to say somewhat flirtatious things, it didn't mean she would engage in XXOO with a man she had just met for the first time.

Even though this man was very handsome and had excellent genes.

"Hehe..." Xia Wanwan leaned back against the wall and pointed at herself with her finger. "I have gonorrhea, syphilis, and maybe even AIDS. Sir, are you sure you want to proceed with the baby-making plan with me?"

Well, actually, whether in her past life or this one...

She was still a pure maiden.

She hadn't even tasted the flavor of a man.

In her past life, although she possessed a certain degree of beauty that attracted many men, she had scared many away because of her extremely protective father and her picky brother.

She hadn't even been "opened" until the day she died.

Yan Zhi couldn't understand her words and could only guess that whatever she was saying certainly wasn't anything good. Without probing further, he nodded and replied, "Of course. I don't mind making one right now."
