Eric Jiang was afraid he was seeing things, so he stared intently at Molly Yun.
At this moment, Molly Yun was completely absorbed in her book, totally unaware that her little gestures and habits were being observed.
Molly Yun read at an impressive speed.
She was constantly flipping pages, her expression intensely focused.
Despite how quickly she read, everything she went through was memorized.
She’d developed this speed-reading method on her own.
Of course, it only worked for her.
Although the Yun Family Archives were extensive, she no longer had permission to enter the Yun Family’s library.
So, she could only borrow books and look up information at the public library.
In just over an hour, Molly Yun had already gone through four or five books, all stacked in front of her.
She read everything about possible situations and solutions during a second pregnancy, then compared it to the hospital’s report on Cecilia Gu. Only then did she truly feel at ease.
By the time she finished reading, the sun was already setting.
Only then did Molly Yun realize that Eric Jiang had spent the entire afternoon with her at the library!
"Ah, I’m sorry," Molly Yun apologized instinctively. "I took up your whole day."
Eric Jiang’s eyes glittered like the stars, bright and dazzling.
Hearing Molly Yun’s words, he immediately shook his head and replied, "No, I’d wait for you for a lifetime if I had to."
Molly Yun was stunned.
Eric Jiang quickly recovered, "Ah, no, what I meant was... um, it’s a line from a book! Sorry, that was abrupt."
Eric Jiang scrambled to cover for himself, thinking fast.
Molly Yun saw right through Eric Jiang’s poor attempt to hide his feelings, but smartly pretended not to notice.
"Let’s go," Molly Yun said, tidying up the table and returning the books. She and Eric Jiang walked out together, one after the other.
At that moment, a message came in—it was from Rona Muir.
After a whole day, Vice President Muir finally sent instructions.
But her instructions were: "Molly, I’m starving! Hurry and get me something to eat and bring it over! There are more and more people here, I can’t leave at all! The food delivery apps are overloaded, who knows when they’ll arrive? Just pack something and deliver it yourself! Bring extra!"
Seeing Rona Muir’s message, Molly Yun couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.
But today’s situation was pretty much what she expected.
With so many people flooding the venue, how could anyone leave?
Molly Yun quickly replied: "Got it!"
Without looking up, Molly Yun said, "Sorry, I’ve got something to take care of."
"I’ll go with you," Eric Jiang said firmly. "When it comes to running errands, men have a physical advantage. Even if I’m bookish, I’m still a man."
Molly Yun couldn’t help but laugh, looking up: "Alright, since you’re so eager to help, I won’t refuse!"
The two of them quickly drove to a newly opened restaurant, ordered a bunch of dishes, and packed everything to go.
Most of the city’s idle folks had gone to join the excitement, so the restaurant was fast. In no time, a batch of food was packed and ready.
Molly Yun did the math—there were more than ten people in the exhibition area, so she couldn’t just bring food for Rona Muir.
So, she decided on her own to order meals for everyone and would deliver them all together.
Because they ordered so much food, Eric Jiang carried one batch to the car while Molly Yun waited inside for the next batch to be packed.
Just then, a stranger’s voice came from the side, uncertain: "Molly Yun?"
Hearing someone call her name, Molly Yun instinctively turned to look.
She saw a man dressed in a typical non-mainstream style, staring at her as if he’d seen a ghost. He said, "What happened to you? Why do you look like this?"
‘Look like this…’
Hey, who are you?
Honestly, you look even creepier now.
"No wonder everyone in the group says you’re like a different person! Molly Yun, what’s that supposed to mean?" The man stepped forward, reaching out to grab Molly Yun.
Molly Yun instinctively reached out and slapped his wrist away.
"Who are you? Why are you putting your hands on me?" Molly Yun glared at him, full of suspicion. "I don’t know you."
"What? You’re saying you don’t know me?" The man burst out laughing. "Molly Yun, you cried and begged to be my woman, and now you say you don’t know me?"
Cried and begged?
So this guy is Ken Han?
This is the type of guy he is?
What was the old Molly Yun thinking?!
He’s got piercings in every spot you can imagine.
Even if you gave me ten libraries, I wouldn’t want a guy like this!
"No wonder Xiao Ye said you’re like a different person. Molly Yun, are you possessed or something?" Ken Han looked her up and down, eyes probing.
"You’re the one who’s possessed!" Molly Yun retorted, not interested in arguing further. If she didn’t have to wait for the food, she would’ve left already.
Ken Han stepped forward and grabbed Molly Yun’s wrist.
Startled, Molly Yun instinctively tried to break free from his grip.
But she’d never been taught how to escape someone’s hold, so her resistance was futile.
She even sounded weak and helpless when she tried to shout: "Let go! If you don’t, I’ll call the police!"
"Wow, you really have changed! The old you would’ve slapped me by now! When did you get so delicate? Molly Yun, if you were always this soft, I wouldn’t mind taking you in! You look pretty good now!" Ken Han lifted Molly Yun’s chin, forcing her face into his view.
"Huh? What a surprise! Without makeup, your face is actually pretty nice! I never knew you looked good without it." Ken Han nodded with satisfaction, turning to drag Molly Yun away.
"What are you trying to do?" Molly Yun was terrified, wanting to shout for help, but everyone in the restaurant was busy in the kitchen, and Eric Jiang was in the parking lot—he couldn’t hear her at all!
What should I do? What should I do?
"What am I trying to do? I’m going to do you, of course!" Ken Han sneered, his smile wicked. "Didn’t you always want to be my woman? I’ll make your wish come true today!"
Molly Yun was truly desperate. She couldn’t bring herself to slap him, so in her panic, she lowered her head and bit Ken Han’s wrist.
"Ah—" Ken Han cried out in pain and let go of Molly Yun.
"You dare bite me?" Ken Han glared at Molly Yun. But when he saw her eyes turn red with tears, he suddenly laughed. "Molly Yun?! Is that really you? Unbelievable! The old you wouldn’t shed a tear, even if you were swinging a knife at someone. Now I just tugged you a bit and you’re crying? You really must be possessed…"
Just then, someone from the kitchen came out carrying a basin of freshly slaughtered chicken blood.
Ken Han saw it, didn’t hesitate, grabbed the basin, and viciously threw it all over Molly Yun!
Splash—
Molly Yun stood frozen, feeling warm liquid pouring over her from head to toe.
When she realized what was on her, she couldn’t help but scream: "Ah! Help! Blood, there’s blood!"
Molly Yun had never seen so much blood in her life.
Even if it was just animal blood!
She screamed instinctively, crouching on the ground like a terrified quail, trembling all over!
Ken Han saw how frightened she was by his prank and burst out laughing, completely unrestrained.
"This is hilarious! Molly Yun is scared out of her mind by a basin of chicken blood! Hahaha, I have to take a picture and send it to everyone in the group! This is too funny! I just landed and already something this entertaining happened! If I’d known you were afraid of chicken blood, I’d pour it on you every day!" Ken Han was laughing so hard he was crying.
Molly Yun felt utterly helpless.
Blood, blood everywhere!
She felt as if she was witnessing her own death.
