"Han Jie’s company is going public in less than three days. In about a month, I’ll make sure she hits rock bottom. By then, in her anger, she’s bound to reveal your past, and she’ll definitely target Xiaoqiu," Huo Xian appeared worried. "Should we delay our plan a bit? Wait for Li Hui to make so decisive progress first?"
"No need." Ye Ran’s expression turned cold. "Li Hui’s side is not far off either. His company is essentially a façade, relying on the Li Family for its current profits. Once Li Family changes hands, he won’t be able to stir up any more trouble. Right now, Li Ru’an completely trusts his eldest son. A month’s ti is more than enough. Once they’re bankrupt, we can just head back. I don’t care about those rumors, and I definitely won’t let Xiaoqiu get hurt."
"Alright, then. I’ll proceed with the plan as scheduled. If you face any difficulties, you must tell imdiately. But are we really letting the Shen Family off so easily?"
Ye Ran had a bitter feeling towards Shen Zixing and Xia Shian, but she still shook her head.
"Although all this started because of them, they haven’t really taken any action against . I’ve already let go of the emotional past. Whatever they wish to do now is up to them; it’s a way to repay Aunt Du for her kindness to ."
She then let out a light laugh, "But with Xia Shian’s current state, and with her two best friends about to fall from grace, I am actively buying back Xia Family’s shares. She’s better off staying broad-minded. If she thinks too much, huh... I hope Shen Zixing can continue to love her deeply!"
All the aning was imbued in Ye Ran’s cold laugh. How Xia Shian will fare in the future, she’ll have to look after herself. Let’s see if when her once best two friends fall on hard tis, will she still give her all to help them out?
If she can’t, then it’s simply because Li Hui and Han Jie weren’t good judges of character!
The days passed, and Han Jie’s company finally went public. The stock price kept climbing, and by the end of the trading day, the value of shares she owned reached a staggering number.
Han Jie’s hands kept trembling, her gaze towards Huo Xian was filled with amazent, and she was deeply moved.
She couldn’t understand why such an outstanding man would fancy Ye Ran? Is it that all n are inherently shallow?
She was sowhat upset. Why couldn’t she et such a great man?
Shen Zixing and Li Hui are deeply in love with Shian because they know she’s worth it, so she never felt jealous. But why Ye Ran? Besides her looks, what else does she have over ?
"Mr. Huo is so impressive, what made you think of marrying Ye Ran?" Han Jie asked, her tone sowhat cryptic, laced with a hint of flirtation.
Huo Xian had seen it all; he never cared for Han Jie’s diocre tactics. But his plan wasn’t yet complete, and he needed to keep Han Jie in the loop for now, so he replied blandly, "It was just eting the right person at the right ti. Miss Han, being so outstanding, will definitely et the person of her dreams in the future."
"It’s a pity that the Goddess has a heart, but the King has no dreams. I wonder when that person will have a change of heart?" Han Jie personally poured him a full glass of wine, "Thank you very much, Mr. Huo, here’s a toast to you."
"I still have to drive to pick up the child, sorry, I can’t drink," Huo Xian declined, preparing to leave.
Han Jie, unwilling to give up, called out to his back, "Mr. Huo cares so much about his daughter, but she’s not even his biological child. Has Ye Ran ever thought of giving you another child? Isn’t that a bit selfish?"
Huo Xian paused a mont, but didn’t reply.
However, seeing this, Han Jie laughed, thinking she’d succeeded in sowing discord.
"How was it?" Back at ho, Ye Ran asked about the day’s events.
"Very smooth." Huo Xian smirked, "That Han Jie is unbelievably foolish, didn’t notice anything amiss and even tried to seduce , which disgusted ."
Ye Ran chuckled, "You had to endure it today, but I’m almost done on my end too. Once we finish, we’ll head back as a family. I miss ho, and besides, he can’t wait any longer."
"He?" Huo Xian looked visibly puzzled.
Then Ye Ran took his hand and placed it on her belly, "It’s him. Can you feel it?"
"It’s a little brother!" When Huo Xian was too surprised to speak, Ye Qiu shouted loudly, "Dad, Mom’s having a little brother."
"Really?" Huo Xian still couldn’t believe it, staring in awe at Ye Ran’s flat belly.
"Here’s the ultrasound from today. But it’s only the size of a peanut right now, and I didn’t ask the doctor about the gender. It’s Qiu’er who insisted it’s a little brother," Ye Ran explained with a smile.
In recent days, Huo Xian had noticed his wife’s gentle smile, thinking it was due to the upcoming revenge. But now he realized it was the radiant glow of motherhood.
"It is a little brother," Ye Qiu insisted. She had no doubt about her intuition.
"How did this happen so suddenly? We clearly... clearly..." The surprise was too much, and Huo Xian was at a loss for words.
"Did you forget about that one ti? That ti it wasn’t." Ye Ran shyly replied, "Perhaps this child is a gift from above. So we must wrap things up quickly. I don’t want to be here during the pregnancy. The doctor said mood swings are bad for the baby."
"Alright, focus on taking care of yourself. I have everything under control with Han Jie. You can leave the matters regarding Li Chao to now."
"It’s so good to have you. How lucky I am to have t you in this lifeti." Ye Ran happily leaned against him.
Huo Xian gently kissed her forehead, "That’s not right. It should be saying, how lucky I am to have t you and our little Qiu’er."
Ever since marrying Ye Ran, he had worried about whether they would have more children in the future and how it would affect his daughter’s feelings.
He crouched down to pick up Ye Qiu, kissing her forehead gently, "Little Qiu’er, don’t worry, whether Mommy’s having a brother or a sister, Mommy and Daddy will always love you the most."
"Then I love my little brother the most. I’ll share all my things with him," Ye Qiu exclaid, dancing with joy.
Then she counted on her fingers, "I’ll take him to the amusent park, take him to school, teach him to read, and buy him lots of beautiful toys and clothes..."
"Our little Qiu’er is so generous," Ye Ran smiled, patting her head.
"Well, he’s my little brother, the youngest in our family. Not just anyone can be my brother."
Seeing her so open-hearted, with no hint of jealousy, Ye Ran felt even more guilty. The child in her belly would grow amidst everyone’s love and be born surrounded by it, whereas her daughter never had the chance to experience all this.
It was all her fault as a mother. She must treat her daughter even better in the future!
