NovelEnglishTo fall asleep, Jiang Yao had no choice but to take sleeping pills from the system space that had no side effects on pregnant women.
That was the first time in her two lives that Jiang Yao needed to use drugs to make herself sleep.
When it was time for Jiang Yao to leave for the airport, Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang became increasingly restless. The two of them looked very tired. Mrs. Jiang even accidentally cut her finger while making lunch. In the end, Mr. Jiang finished the rest of the cooking.
"Mom, Dad, Big Ke, and Ah Lu are waiting for me at the army entrance. I have to go." Jiang Yao looked at the watch on her wrist and stood up. She had nothing to pack, so she only had a small backpack. She looked in the bedroom direction and said, "I put sleeping pills in Xiao Nian's soda, so he will sleep for about six hours."

Jiang Yao shook her head and went up to hug her mother gently. "It's okay, Mom. Maybe they'd rescue Xingzhi before I get off the plane."
"When Xingzhi comes back, why don't we persuade him to leave the army? These days have been too hard." Mr. Jiang's eyes were red. "I can't keep making you worry about him."
Mrs. Jiang held Jiang Yao's hand tightly and refused to let go. Jiang Yao wiped her mother's tears as she gritted her teeth and struggled to free herself. Then, she looked at her father, carried her bag, and left the house.
The moment she stepped out of the house, Jiang Yao reached out and touched her stomach. She said to the child in her stomach, "Baby, I wish us good luck. I wish you good luck too."
She wished her and Lu Xingzhi good luck—she would receive his message before the plane landed.
She wished the child good luck, too—after that incident, he would still be in her stomach.
She would do her best to protect that child, but she would also be helpless if she had no other choice.
At that moment, Jiang Yao hated the medical system's self-destructive program. At that moment, she wished she could kill Qian Yunen and rescue Lu Xingzhi.
Her parents chased after her to the door, three to five steps behind Jiang Yao.

Jiang Yao unexpectedly saw a person behind Big Ke and Ah Lu.
It was Madam Cheng.
"Director Jiang." Big Ke walked toward Jiang Yao and said, "Some of these people are from the Cheng family. We can't stop them."
"My child." Madam Cheng pushed Ah Lu, who was in front of her and shouted at Jiang Yao, "Don't be afraid. Master Cheng and Jinyan are in Lanning. They will protect you."
After saying that, Madam Cheng started to cry. "Protect yourself and the baby. We will wait for you and your husband."
Madam Cheng did not dare to refer to Lu Xingzhi as her son-in-law.
Madam Cheng felt guilty. She knew that she did not fulfill her responsibility as a mother and did not protect her daughter when her daughter was young. When her daughter grew up, she still did not protect her well.
