Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 16

Chapter 16: 014 Captive breeding

Fang Yuxin eyed the man at the window warily. She didn't make the first move, as the man seemed powerful, and she was well aware that she was no match for him. Concerned about waking up Bai Qianqian, she deliberately kept her voice low, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Due to the man's back being to the light, she couldn't see his face, only the vague outline.

Bai Ye glanced at Bai Qianqian, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and felt relieved that he was all right. However, his face gave nothing away as he scrutinized Fang Yuxin. Seeing her in person, he was more certain that she was Bai Qianqian's mother.

Thinking about the relationship between Fang Yuxin and Qiu Yiming, he felt somewhat conflicted. It wasn't anger, nor was it joy, just generally uncomfortable. And upon reflection, if Fang Yuxin were to marry Qiu Yiming, their relationships truly would be complicated.

Although he hadn't known Fang Yuxin before, the undeniable fact that Bai Qianqian shared blood with both of them crossed his mind. At this moment, he had no intention to be open with Fang Yuxin or to foster their relationship; instead, thinking of Bai Qianqian, he couldn't help saying, "Take good care of him, and be careful of the Qiu Family." After speaking, he didn't wait for Fang Yuxin to respond and pushed off the windowsill, jumping out.

Fang Yuxin was utterly befuddled. Although she didn't sense any ill will from Bai Ye, the sudden appearance of a man in the room was reason enough for her wariness, yet all he left was a cryptic message before running off. She jumped out of bed, rushed to the window, and leaned out to look down, only to find the area silently empty, the man who had jumped as if vanished into thin air.

She closed the window, drew the curtains, and returned to bed, carefully hiding the knife back under the pillow. Just as Fang Yuxin settled down, Bai Qianqian unconsciously snuggled into her arms, murmuring, "Mama, don't go." Her heart softened abruptly, and she hugged Bai Qianqian, but the words of Bai Ye came to her mind. His "Take good care of him" obviously referred to Bai Qianqian, implying he might be Bai Qianqian's father. But if he was the father, why didn't he take him away? Could he really be sure? They hadn't even met before!

And then there was the "be careful of the Qiu Family." This statement troubled Fang Yuxin even more than the first. She remembered the dream, where, after the apocalypse, the Qiu Family still controlled the military, and because both Qiu Yiming and Qiu Hongsheng had awakened powerful attack superpowers, the influence of the Qiu Family was even greater than before the apocalypse. The Fang Family had a good relationship with the Qiu Family, who took care of her and her siblings until Fang Mengyao spread rumors that completely ruined the Fang Family's reputation, forcing their care from overt to covert.

At that time, many had designs on her, and had it not been for her brother's strength, her own ability to defend herself, and the Qiu Family's covert protection, they could very well have been killed. Therefore, when Qiu Yiming chose Fang Mengyao, she bore no resentment, merely feeling it was a pity they were destined but not fated. But now, thinking carefully, if the Qiu Family truly intended to protect her and her brother with their powerful influence, how could they allow those rumors to spread?

Her brother and she had lived on edge in that dream, treading on thin ice, and many questions they dared not deeply consider. Now, during the still of the night, as Fang Yuxin replayed the entire dream in her mind, many previously overlooked details began to seem suspicious. The more she thought, the chiller she felt, even feeling a cold all over, but fortunately, with Bai Qianqian, a little furnace in her arms, he was her only warmth at that moment.

It was then that Fang Yuxin entertained the thought of keeping Bai Qianqian close and raising him at her side. Though the man seemed strong, if the apocalypse really came, everything would change. Bai Qianqian was still a child, and staying by her side might be much safer. After all, she had the Cultivation Spiritual Mansion.
