Kang Chen quickly held onto Ming Mei, preventing her from falling.
He sat down, holding Ming Mei, pinched her soft cheeks and scolded, "You're soon going to be a mother and yet you're still so naughty... umm, regarding what you just said, it would be better if we alone secretly discuss it and don't let Qi Jiu get wind of it. I actually...did want to get him on board, but isn't it much better that he offered himself? I've saved so much effort."
Each time Kang Chen saw Ming Mei bouncing around, his heart was in his throat.
Her ordeal during the previous kidnapping had scared him terribly.
And then the doctor declared that she needed to rest and recover which made Kang Chen wish he could stay constantly by her side.
But he's been just too busy with work, leaving him helpless in providing her sufficient care.
Kang Chen really hoped this negotiation would end soon so he could focus less on work, and spend more time with Ming Mei and their child.
