Chapter 179: Chapter 179: To Come at a Time Like This
The moment Wang Siying pushed her, Shen Nian felt a sudden wave of discomfort, especially a sharp pain in her lower abdomen.
In fact, it wasn’t so much that Wang Siying had pushed her over, but that the sudden discomfort had caused her to lose her balance and topple backward.
But it only lasted a moment. Before Shen Nian could hit the ground, Lu Cheng rushed behind her and caught her.
Although Shen Nian still ended up on the ground, Lu Cheng had broken her fall, so she didn’t feel any pain from the impact.
Despite this, Lu Cheng was still fuming.
"I’m okay, don’t be angry."
Seeing the look on Lu Cheng’s face, Shen Nian tugged on his sleeve to comfort him. Of course, she wasn’t pleading for Wang Siying; she just didn’t want Lu Cheng to get too worked up.
After all, getting so angry is bad for your health.
Lu Cheng didn’t say a word. His lips pressed into a thin line as he helped Shen Nian up from the ground.
However, before Lu Cheng could turn to deal with Wang Siying, who had made Shen Nian fall, he heard a gasp from the crowd.
"Hey, there’s blood! The Lu family’s wife is bleeding!"
The shout made Lu Cheng’s face drain of all color. His body even began to tremble slightly as he saw the bloodstain on the back of Shen Nian’s dress.
He was terrified that Shen Nian was hurt.
As the color drained from Lu Cheng’s face, Shen Nian’s expression changed as well.
The difference was, Lu Cheng was terrified, while Shen Nian was mortified.
When she fell, all Shen Nian had felt was a sudden discomfort. But as Lu Cheng helped her to her feet, a sudden warm gush from below made her instantly understand the cause of her earlier unease.
The shout of "blood!" that followed only made Shen Nian want to die of embarrassment. ’How could this be so ill-timed! Of all the times for it to show up, why did it have to be now?’
’And if it had to come, did it have to be so heavy all at once?’
"Aah!"
Shen Nian was still grumbling internally when her body suddenly felt weightless. Lu Cheng had swept her up into his arms, bridal style.
"I’m taking you to the hospital."
Lu Cheng said, his face pale. He started walking, clearly terrified by the blood on her and thinking she was seriously injured.
"Huh? The hospital? No, wait, I don’t need to go to the hospital. I’m fine."
"How can you be fine? You’re bleeding!"
Lu Cheng thought Shen Nian was just trying to be brave, so he didn’t stop. He had already taken several steps in the blink of an eye.
"Stop, stop, just stop for a second! I’m really okay, I really don’t need to go to the hospital."
As Shen Nian spoke, she glanced around. The crowd of onlookers hadn’t dispersed yet, and they were all getting a good look at her being carried in Lu Cheng’s arms.
"How about... we go inside first, and I’ll explain later."
’If he actually carries me to the hospital like this, I’ll be utterly mortified!’
"Are you really okay?"
Lu Cheng could see that Shen Nian didn’t seem to be lying. Plus, compared to a moment ago, the color had returned to her face.
"I’m really fine. So many people are watching. Let’s go inside first and then talk."
"Fine. But if something’s wrong, we have to go to the hospital."
"Okay."
After studying her for a few more moments and confirming that she seemed all right, Lu Cheng finally turned and carried her toward the Lu family’s front door.
"Big Brother, Sister-in-law..."
The other members of the Lu family, who had been stunned by the sudden turn of events, rushed forward when they saw Lu Cheng turn around with Shen Nian in his arms.
Lu Cheng didn’t explain what was wrong with Shen Nian. Instead, he shot a cold glare at Wang Siying, who was cowering to the side in fear.
"Call the police. Turn her over to them."
"Oh... but about Sister-in-law..."
Lu Xinyue wanted to ask more, but Lu Cheng had already carried Shen Nian straight through the door, leaving her with nothing but the sight of his back.
