The silence after chaos felt heavier than the chaos itself.

Fragments of glass still glittered across the floor, catching the chandelier light like scattered warnings. No one dared move.

No one dared speak.

At the center of it all, Li Lan’er stood frozen.

But inside—

something was cracking.

Her chest rose and fell too quickly. Her fingers trembled, though she kept them hidden at her sides. The whispers around her grew louder, sharper, cutting into her like invisible blades.

“She pushed her…”

  • I Got Pregnant… and My Cold CEO Won’t Let Me Leave   No Time to Lose

    If she closed her eyes now—she might never open them again.The thought hit him like a blade.Sharp.Instant.Unforgiving.And for the first time—He Yichen felt something he never allowed himself to feel.Fear.“Call the car. Now.”His voice cut through the hallway, sharp and absolute.Fang Jia’s body felt weak in his arms, her fingers still gripping his sleeve as another wave of pain hit.“I… it hurts…”Her voice broke again.Smaller this time.Yichen tightened his hold on her instantly.“Stay with me.”No softness.No hesitation.Only urgency.Staff rushed around them, footsteps echoing loudly as orders were thrown out one after another.“Prepare the car!”“Clear the entrance!”“Call the hospital!”Everything moved fast.But not fast enough.Yichen carried her himself.Straight through the corridor.Through the doors.Into the night.Rain hit hard the moment they stepped outside.Cold.Relentless.The car was already waiting.The door opened.He got in with her still in his arms.

  • I Got Pregnant… and My Cold CEO Won’t Let Me Leave   Say The Name

    The moment she said the name—someone would bleed.Fang Jia felt it deep in her chest, like a warning she couldn’t ignore.This wasn’t just the truth anymore.It was a trigger.And once it was pulled—there would be no stopping what came next.“If I say it… everything changes.”Fang Jia’s voice trembled, but her eyes didn’t look away.For the first time since everything began—she wasn’t confused.She was sure.He Yichen stood in front of her, completely still.“Say it.”Two words.Low.Controlled.But carrying weight.Fang Jia swallowed.Her fingers tightened against the fabric of her clothes.Her heart pounded violently.Because once she said it—there would be no going back.“I think it’s—”Her voice cut off.The lights flickered.Once.Twice.Then—a loud bang echoed from somewhere down the hall.Both of them froze.Yichen’s expression shifted instantly.Cold.Sharp.“Stay here.”But Fang Jia grabbed his arm.“No.”Her voice was firm this time.“I’m not staying behind again.”He l

  • I Got Pregnant… and My Cold CEO Won’t Let Me Leave   Trust No One

    The moment she saw his face—everything stopped.Her breath.Her thoughts.Her world.Because the last person she expected to be the one watching her…was someone she trusted.The corridor felt colder than before, even though the lights had come back on. The space where the figure had stood moments ago now felt empty—too empty.Fang Jia’s fingers trembled.“It can’t be…”Her voice barely came out.But deep down—she already knew.He Yichen didn’t speak immediately.His eyes remained fixed on the end of the corridor, as if expecting the figure to reappear.But nothing moved.Nothing returned.“They’re gone,” one of the guards said.Yichen’s jaw tightened.“I know.”His voice was calm.Controlled.But the tension was obvious.Fang Jia shook her head slowly.“No… I saw them.”Her chest tightened.“It was real.”Yichen turned to her.“I believe you.”That should have helped.But it didn’t.Because believing it made everything worse.“They were right here…” she whispered.“And then just—g

  • I Got Pregnant… and My Cold CEO Won’t Let Me Leave   Cornered

    The mansion was locked down.No one in.No one out.Every exit sealed.Every corridor watched.But the feeling of being watched—didn’t disappear.It only grew stronger.Fang Jia stood beside He Yichen in the hallway, her fingers unconsciously gripping the fabric of his sleeve.She didn’t let go this time.Not after what just happened.Not after she heard that voice.“They’re still here,” she said quietly.Not a question.A certainty.Yichen didn’t deny it.His gaze moved slowly across the corridor, calculating every possible route, every blind spot.“They won’t get far.”His tone was calm.Too calm.As if this was no longer a threat—but a problem he was about to solve.Behind them, security moved quickly.Footsteps.Commands.Doors opening.Rooms being checked.But something felt off.Too slow.Too reactive.Like they were always one step behind.Yichen’s phone vibrated.Another message.He didn’t hesitate.He opened it immediately.A single line.“Still can’t find me?”Fang Jia’s b

  • I Got Pregnant… and My Cold CEO Won’t Let Me Leave   Don’t Turn Around

    If she turned around—she might not survive.Fang Jia felt it before she understood it.The air behind her shifted.A presence.Too close.Too real.Her breath stopped.Every instinct screamed at her to run—but her body froze.Because deep down—she already knew.Someone was standing right behind her.Darkness swallowed the room.For a second—everything went silent.Then Fang Jia heard it.A breath.Right behind her.Not hers.Her body froze instantly, every muscle locking in place. Her heart pounded so hard it felt like it might give her away.“Don’t move.”The voice was low.Close.Too close.Cold air brushed against the back of her neck.Fang Jia couldn’t breathe.Her mind screamed at her to run—but her body refused to listen.“Who are you…” her voice came out barely a whisper.A soft chuckle answered her.“You already know.”Her fingers curled tightly at her sides.No.She didn’t want to know.Didn’t want to believe it.The lights flickered.Once.Twice.Then—they came back on.

  • I Got Pregnant… and My Cold CEO Won’t Let Me Leave   No Way Back

    She wasn’t alone.Fang Jia knew it before she even turned around.There was no sound.No movement.But the air had changed.Someone was behind her.Watching.Waiting.The feeling crawled up her spine, slow and suffocating, until her breath caught in her throat.And then—darkness swallowed everything.The mansion no longer felt safe.Not after the camera.Not after the message.Not after the truth had been dragged into the light.Upstairs, Fang Jia stood near the window, watching the rain blur everything outside into shadows. The glass reflected her face back at her—pale.tired.unsteady.Her hand rested protectively over her stomach.She tried to breathe slowly.Tried to calm the storm inside her.But it didn’t work.Someone had been watching her.Inside her room.Inside the place she thought was safest.A soft knock broke through her thoughts.“Miss Fang Jia, we’ve prepared another room for you.”A different maid.A different voice.Fang Jia hesitated.Another room.Another space.
