Madam ng’s face darkened as she heard Xu Wanqi’s words, "Are you saying you didn’t take the morning-after pill?"
A tinge of grievance appeared on Xu Wanqi’s face as she spoke softly, "I didn’t an to. I got injured that night, and Senior took to the hospital. He stayed in the hospital with the whole night, so I didn’t have the chance to buy the pill."
"..."
Madam ng stared at Xu Wanqi, her gaze heavy and sharp.
She wanted to discern whether her words were true or false.
Xu Wanqi kept her head lowered, not showing any sign of lying.
After a mont, she explained further, "Aunt, don’t worry, even if I do have a child, I won’t ask Senior to be responsible. I’ll raise the child myself."
At this point, Madam ng’s face changed, her words turning from stern to sowhat sharper, "Do you think just saying you’re not responsible makes it true? This child carries the bloodline of our ng family, and you thinking of raising it on your own is just dreaming."
Still unsatisfied, Madam ng glared at her hatefully.
Xu Wanqi’s face paled further, looking pitifully at Madam ng.
She spoke softly, "Aunt, could you not tell Senior about what I’ve said to you today? I promised Senior not to speak of that night to anyone."
"Not speak? Do you not want ng Ke to be responsible for you? Do you not want to marry into our ng family?"
Madam ng questioned, challenging Xu Wanqi.
She didn’t believe that Xu Wanqi, who had sched to seduce her son, wouldn’t want to enter her family.
Xu Wanqi’s eyes reddened, full of sorrow and sadness, "I do want to marry Senior, to be with him forever, but I know Aunt won’t agree to being with him."
"Humph, at least you have so self-awareness."
"Aunt, I promise I won’t ruin Senior and Bai Xiaoxiao’s marriage. Please don’t ask to leave, okay?"
Xu Wanqi wasn’t a fool. She knew that since Madam ng found out what happened between her and ng Ke, and given that she hadn’t taken the morning-after pill, she wouldn’t be driven away.
The reason was simple: they now believed her photos and began to suspect that Bai Xiaoxiao was not sincere towards ng Ke.
Bai Xiaoxiao indeed wasn’t sincere, having not accepted ng Ke’s proposal.
Madam ng wanting grandchildren seed like a very distant hope.
"I won’t drive you away, but if you want to be with ng Ke, you’ll have to be prepared to live a life of obscurity."
The hand Xu Wanqi held the cup with trembled slightly.
A life of obscurity?
Madam ng wanted her to be ng Ke’s lifelong mistress.
She hadn’t gambled wrong.
"Is this really okay, Sister?"
Beside her, Mother Li asked worriedly.
Although Xu Wanqi lowered her head slightly, she quietly observed the expressions of Madam ng and Mother Li from the corner of her eye.
At the sa ti, her mind rapidly pondered her next move.
No matter what, she had to make Madam ng stand by her side.
It would be best to have a substantial relationship happen between her and ng Ke.
Madam ng let out a cold snort, "Why wouldn’t it be okay?"
Then, she looked at Xu Wanqi and asked sternly, "Xu Wanqi, are you willing to follow ng Ke without any status?"
"As long as I can be with Senior, I don’t care about status."
Xu Wanqi’s voice was low, but the determination in her tone was undeniable.
"You said it yourself, I didn’t force you."
"Aunt’s allowing to stay by Senior’s side, and Wanqi is already deeply grateful."
Madam ng smiled with satisfaction, this Xu Wanqi was truly deeply devoted to her son, ng Ke.
At this mont, compared to Bai Xiaoxiao who looked down on her son, she felt more at ease.
Turning her head, she said to Mother Li, "Bai Xiaoxiao still hasn’t agreed to marry ng Ke, surely she wouldn’t want to live with him first either. My son is of a young, energetic age, with normal physical needs. Having Xu Wanqi by his side isn’t bad."
She deliberately said this to let Xu Wanqi hear and understand her position.
Nothing more than ng Ke’s mistress, and in harsher terms, a tool to satisfy desires.
But Xu Wanqi was inwardly overjoyed.
"Rest assured, Aunt, I will take good care of Senior."
"Rember what I just said." Madam ng coldly tossed these words, stood up, and left.
**
Haochen Group, top floor office.
In the high-end swivel chair, Mo Xiuchen’s tall figure lazily reclined with a phone between his long fingers.
A minute ago, Wen Ran left the office and headed to the Human Resources departnt.
With her gone, Mo Xiuchen seized the opportunity to dial Luo Haofeng’s number.
The phone rang a few tis before Luo Haofeng’s voice ca through, low and cheerful, drilling into his ear, "Hey, Xiuchen."
"Ah Feng, are you busy?"
"So busy I barely have ti for a drink, not like you, President Mo, so leisurely, always with a lovely wife by your side."
"Aren’t you the sa? Where’s your new girlfriend, not by your side?"
Mo Xiuchen chuckled, teasing as he asked.
"Xiuchen, you know my relationship with Ruoyi, stop with the sarcastic remarks." Luo Haofeng warned unhappily.
"Haha, calling you to find so fun."
Mo Xiuchen continued with a tone that suggested the more unhappy Luo Haofeng was, the happier he’d be.
"Then count out, I’m busy and will hang up first."
"Wait."
"What else?"
Luo Haofeng drew out the sound tail, a hint of impatience in his tone.
"I have good news to tell you."
Mo Xiuchen smiled faintly, his voice bright and cheerful.
"What good news? It can’t be that Ranran is pregnant with twins or girl and boy twins again, and you’re going to be a dad?"
Luo Haofeng laughed and teased over the phone.
Mo Xiuchen snorted, "This good news is about you, but if you don’t want to hear it or have no ti for it, I won’t force you."
After all, not hearing it would make him the one regretting later.
Hearing it was news about him.
Luo Haofeng imdiately thought of Bai Xiaoxiao.
The joking and impatience from before gone, his voice now had a trace of haste, "Xiuchen, what’s the good news, tell ."
"Bai Xiaoxiao wants to break up with ng Ke."
"What?"
Luo Haofeng couldn’t quite believe his ears.
Xiaoxiao wants to break up with ng Ke.
Is it because of what he said that day, or because ng Ke had an affair with another woman and did sothing unworthy of Xiaoxiao?
"You’re young, your ears aren’t deaf yet, don’t make say it a second ti. It’s just what you heard. Bai Xiaoxiao wants to break up with ng Ke, Ah Feng, be honest, what did you do to Bai Xiaoxiao when she went on a business trip to City B?"
"I didn’t do anything."
Luo Haofeng’s voice was sowhat unsteady.
The news had shocked him, a man who was usually composed found his heart a bit unraveled at this mont.
Mo Xiuchen laughed skeptically, "Only a fool would believe you did nothing."
He glanced at the door, "Ranran isn’t here with now, so you can speak freely. If you did nothing, how could Bai Xiaoxiao co back and imdiately want to break up with ng Ke, with such a resolute attitude."
