Mai Yatang looked at Qie Yiyan who was untying her.

“Giving birth means to have a baby.”

Mai Yatang planted a kiss on Qie Yiyan’s lips. “Yiyan, I want to have a baby with you.”

The fear and nervousness that Qie Yiyan felt when he first stepped into the eatery turned into helplessness.

They had announced to the public that they were engaged.

Because of Mai Yatang’s simple-mindedness, Qie Yiyan had treated her like a child. He regarded her more like a younger sister.

Now, a mere kiss from Mai Yatang had changed the relationship between them.

Qie Yiyan had asked himself to whom he could entrust such an innocent girl like Mai Yatang.

He was reluctant to place her in the care of anyone else. He would not be at peace with himself. What if she ended up with a con man?

Just now, she fell for the old lady’s trick. All it took was the old lady offering to sell her some food.

She had much to learn about the world.

She would be better off under his protection.

“Ahem!”

Li Qingcang had walked in to find the couple kissing passionately. He gave a loud cough.

Qie Yiyan quickly pushed Mai Yatang away, leaving the latter embarrassed.

“Yiyan…”

She was like a kitten, purring into his heart whenever she acted like a spoiled child.

Qie Yiyan stroked Mai Yatang’s head. “We’ll talk when we get home.”

“Qingcang, I am going to give Yiyan a baby.”

They had told her that if she liked someone, she should give that person a baby.

Once they had a baby together, they would never be apart.

Mai Yatang liked Qie Yiyan, so she wanted to give him a baby. When they had a baby, he would never leave her.

“Qingcang, I will bring Mai Yatang away first. Can you please help me deal with everything else?”

“All right. You should get going.”

Li Qingcang looked on as Qie Yiyan led Mai Yatanging away. He took out his phone and called Ye Tianxin.

“Tianxin, we found Mai Yatang. She said she wants to give Yiyan a baby.”

Li Qingcang could hear Ye Tianxin’s relief in her voice. “That’s good news. I’ll wait for you to come home. Don’t rush, take your time.”

After Li Qingcang put down the phone, he walked toward the middle-aged woman. He looked down on her with an intimidating aura.

“If you tell the truth, we’ll be more lenient with you. Otherwise, we won’t hesitate to punish you if you resist.”

The middle-aged woman let out a loud sigh. How was she to know that a young girl whom her mother-in-law had tricked into following her would mobilize such a big team of policemen?

They could only report missing persons after disappearing for 24 hours. By that time, they would have sent the girls to the countryside.

Those girls would have vanished without a trace, leaving no clues behind.

“I’ll tell the truth.”

The middle-aged woman sat on the ground and pleaded. She knew that as an ordinary person, she could not do anything else but to confess now. That was the only way she could get a lighter sentence.

If anyone continued to resist in this case, harsher punishment would await them.

“My mother-in-law tricked the girl into following her here.”

The middle-aged woman did not lie.

Her mother-in-law had been responsible for all the kidnappings.

She had taken a fancy on Mai Yatang the minute she saw her. She knew that a woman like Mai Yatang, who had round and fleshy hips, would be very fertile.

For the people living in the countryside, a daughter-in-law was not meant to look good.

All she needed was a pair of wide hips for giving birth.

“My mother-in-law asked the girl to buy a bowl of wonton from her and the girl said yes.”

“It’s quite strange. The girl did not look scared at all.”
