Chapter 17: Malicious Threat_1

He picked her up without a word and turned to walk straight toward the Rolls-Royce. Eagle hurriedly ran forward to open the door for him, and then he carried the girl into the car with him.

With a "bang," the car door closed, and the maid and driver inside the Bentley were deeply shocked by their young master's actions.

The young master just now—so dashing! They had never seen the young master so domineeringly carry a girl like this before. Miss An is really lucky!

At this moment, considered the luckiest person by the maid, driver, and Eagle, she was forced to sit rigidly beside a man who was cold as ice and sinister.

After getting into the car, the driver started driving immediately, with Eagle sitting in the passenger seat.

In the back, Shangguan Xiu and An Xiaomian were seated.

Mr. Shangguan, without saying a word, naturally took out a tablet after setting her down and seemed to be dealing with some matters.

An Xiaomian couldn't blow her cover—she had to keep pretending her stomach hurt. So her facial expression remained unchanged, and her hand was still covering her abdomen.

However, she couldn't stop replaying the scene in her mind where he had abruptly picked her up without a word, wondering where he was taking her when he was saying nothing now.

The car remained silent, and An Xiaomian, not daring to make noise while pretending to be in pain, could only keep a pained expression on her face. Yet as fear grew within her, she wanted to move a little bit, to sit farther away from this iceberg of a man.

As soon as she moved slightly, the man she described as an iceberg cast a displeased glance at her, his voice dominantly commanding to the extreme, "Sit still and don't move!"

She took the opportunity to speak with him, "Mr. Shangguan, my stomach hurts a lot, and I need to see a doctor. Where are you taking me?"

"We will get to the hospital soon!" Shangguan Xiu withdrew his gaze from her and spoke coldly.

"Are you going to personally take me to the hospital? You must be quite busy; those two maids from earlier could have taken me instead. I'm worried about delaying your work because of me..." she continued probing.

This time, without even glancing at her, he responded coldly with a touch of light mockery, "You're overthinking. Nobody can delay or affect me, and you certainly don't have that privilege!"

So, if it weren't for the child she was carrying, he wouldn't be entangling himself with her like this.

Thinking that, An Xiaomian suddenly snatched the tablet from Shangguan Xiu's hands and held it to her chest. Then, grinding her teeth and looking at his slightly surprised gaze, she began to threaten, "Mr. Shangguan, please let me go. You can have children with anyone, right? You have the money, after all. If you let me go now, I'll go have an abortion immediately, and we won't have any contact in the future. Isn't that perfect? If you don't agree, then I'll smash your work tablet right now."

Shangguan Xiu hadn't expected An Xiaomian to snatch his tablet, and thus, when he initially took the tablet, he merely held it lightly in his hand, allowing her to grab it.

But he was only slightly surprised, not having anticipated such an outburst from the girl who seemed so frail at first.

He was not worried at all, just watching her coldly with a mocking smile, "Go ahead, smash it. If you break it, you won't be far from death either!"

"You think I wouldn't dare?" An Xiaomian hadn't expected that this man, who appeared indifferent on the surface, would make such a vicious threat to her.
