“I am fine.” Lingjiao braced herself up and forced a smile to Darren.
“Let’s go.” Lingjiao tugged at Darren’s sleeve, hurry to get out of here.
Hepeng put on an evil smile and glanced over Lingjiao, who was frowning unpleasantly. There was a sense of triumph in Hepeng’s mind.
Lingjiao’s back was sweating, and she was covered with fear.
She tugged at Darren again. Darren then said to Hepeng, “We have something else to do, so we have to leave first.”
“Mr. Jin, please.” Hepeng waved his hand.
***
When Darren held on to Lingjiao’s shoulder and tried to take her away, Lingjiao felt dizzied and saw darkness, then she fainted, slipping down from Darren’s arms.
Darren hugged around her waist in time, and let her lean against him, “Lingjiao, Lingjiao, what’s wrong?”
When Darren saw Lingjiao passing out, he worried about her and shook her anxiously.
But Lingjiao’s eyes were closed and she remained paled.
Seeing this, Hepeng hurried forward. “What’s wrong with Ms. Jin?”
“She fainted.” Darren held her up and reached for the door.
Darren couldn’t reach the car door, so Hepeng pulled open the door for him. “Let me drive you to the hospital?”
“I don’t want to bother you.” Darren put Lingjiao into the car seat and fastened the seat belt for her.
He trotted to the driver seat.
Lingjiao leaned against the back of the car seat, where her beautiful profile was visible through the opening window. Hepeng looked at her audaciously.

Hospital
°°°°°°°°°°°°
After half an hour of waiting, Lingjiao was wheeled out of the emergency room and transferred to the general room for observation.
And Darren had been accompanying her, sitting in the chair beside the bed, with one hand holding Lingjiao’s. He kept watching her beautiful sleeping face.
Darren felt Lingjiao’s hand move and her closed eyes popped open. “How do you feel? What was going on?” asked Darren anxiously.
Lingjiao shook her head and looked around her. “Darren, what’s wrong with me? Why am I in the hospital?
“You fainted.” Said Darren.
“Sorry to get you worried.” Her eyes were wet.
“You’re my wife. I should take care of you.” Darren took a piece of paper to wipe her wet corners of eyes, “Why are you crying? It’s not good crying so often.”
“Darren, how could I faint?” Lingjiao clenched his hand nervously. “I’ve been fine all my life. How could I faint so sudden?”
“Have a guess.” Darren gave a gentle smile.
Darren looked handsome and his smile was gentle, just like the sunshine, which made Lingjiao, who was originally frightened, felt warm.
“Why did I faint? Was it because I was too tired?”
Darren shook his head.
“Then was it because I was in poor health?”
He shook his head again.
Lingjiao thought about it for a while and said, “Was it because… Well, I don’t know why. Could you tell me?”
“Lingjiao, I have good news.” Darren said to her.
“Good news?” Lingjiao thought about it, “Does the doctor say that we are healthy and we can make preparations for pregnancy?”
“You are getting hot.” Darren said to her.
Lingjiao looked at him seriously, but she couldn’t figure it out.
Darren touched her underbelly gently with his hands and said, “The doctor says that you are pregnant. You will be a mother, and I will be a father. Are you happy?”
“Yes, of course. I am so happy to hear that.” Lingjiao was so excited that she made herself into his embrace and held his shoulders tightly, with a smile on her face.
Darren touched her back with his hands gently, but he found that her shoulders trembled, and then he heard that she was crying…
“Lingjiao, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Darren gently pushed her away from his arms, and saw her tears. continuously flow down, and she looked very sad.
“I am so happy, so I cried with joy.” Lingjiao couldn’t control her emotion so she cried, “Dear, we will have our own child soon. He is the child of our love, right?”
“Yes. But you really look like a child now.” Darren helped her wipe her tears with his hands, “I know you are happy, but you can’t cry. If our baby knows that you are crying, he will think that you don’t like him.”
“That’s impossible. He doesn’t know anything because he is just an embryo now. You can’t lie to me.” Lingjiao showed him how small an embryo was with her fingers, “Do you think that I don’t know anything? For pregnancy, I have read many books about it.”
“Really?” Darren touched her nose gently and said, “It’s good news for us. Don’t cry.”
“OK” Lingjiao nodded and then leaned against his shoulder, “Honey, are you happy?”
“Of course, “Darren held her shoulders and felt touched, “Actually, I didn’t think we would have a child. However, God bless. We have a baby now.”
Lingjiao looked at him and said, “Honey, will you feel sorry if we don’t have a baby forever? Will you divorce me?”
“What are you talking about?” Darren held her in his arms tightly, as if she was his treasure, “I didn’t dare to expect that we would have a baby because of my illness. But you didn’t blame me at all, and you married me and stayed with me without hesitation. How lucky I am because of you.”
“Darren, I love you so I don’t care whether you are healthy or not. I only want to stay with you forever.” Lingjiao felt that she was so happy.
Darren touched her forehead with his chin and said, “I once thought that even if we have no children forever, I will also be happy as long as I can stay with you forever. We can live happily forever, and no one will bother us.”
“Dear, did you really think so?” Lingjiao touched his face with her hands and felt surprised and moved, “Did you really think that I was the most important?”
“Of course. Since you have chosen to stay together with me and didn’t mind whether I was healthy, I should love you forever even though we wouldn’t have a child forever. Lingjiao, I will treat you sincerely no matter whether we have a kid or not. Now we have a baby, and he will make us happier, and we don’t need to feel sorry for our parents and the Jin family anymore. ” Darren kissed her forehead gently.
Lingjiao closed her eyes and felt touched.
She thought that she was so lucky because she loved Darren, and Darren also loved her very much.
They embraced each other and felt warm.
After the infusion, the doctor said that both she and her baby were healthy, and she just needed to maintain a good mood, increase nutrition and do some exercise properly.
And then they left the hospital.
***
Jin Mansion.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
When they came back to the Jin family, they were waiting for them to enjoy dinner together.
There were Shenhai, Carmen, Luying and her daughter Qinsu.
They enjoyed dinner in the living room together.
“Well, before eating dinner, I would like to tell you good news.” Darren looked at Lingjiao gently and said to them.
“What is it?” His parents asked him.
“Lingjiao is pregnant.” Darren told them happily.
After hearing about it, they all looked at Lingjiao and felt surprised.
And then Qinsu asked Darren, “Uncle Darren, I will have a younger brother or sister soon, right?”
“Yes, you’re right.” Darren touched her face gently.
“Darren… Is it true?” Shenhai felt that it was unbelievable.
“Yes, it is true.” Darren knew that his parents would be very happy, “Today, Lingjiao fainted, and then I drove her to the hospital for a body examination. Finally, the doctor said that she was pregnant.”
Lingjiao took out the checklist of the B-scan ultrasonography and then put it on the table, “This is the checklist of the B-scan ultrasonography.”
Shenhai took it up and read it together with Carmen, and they felt happy when they read it.
When Carmen took over the checklist from Shenhai, her hands trembled. She didn’t expect that his son would have a baby after recovering and getting married. It really was good news.
She suffered a lot in her life. Especially when her son was ill and was about to die, she felt that she was unable to live either.
“Mom, please let me have a look.” Luying also wanted to read it.
Carmen gave it to Luying and then wiped her tears by herself. She was Shenhai’s second wife, Luying’s stepmother, and Darren’s biological mother.
“Mom, you should be happy because Lingjiao is pregnant now.” Luying was kind and generous. Although Carmen was her stepmother, they got along well with each other.
“Yes, it’s good news. We should be happy.” Carmen smiled happily.
Shenhai drank a cup of wine and felt so good.
He put the cup down on the table and then said, “God bless! Darren suffered so much, and now he is destined for good fortune ever after. This child is the first child in our Jin family, and he is the successor of our Jin family.”
Shenhai was touched at this time. Although they really hoped. that they could have a grandson, they never made Darren and Lingjiao feel stressed, because they knew about Darren’s health.
Shenhai even wanted to cry with joy. Carmen also felt touched. She held one of Shenhai’s hands with her hands, and there were tears in their eyes.
They looked at each other and also understood each other. “Lingjiao, you are a great heroine of our Jin family. Not only did you find the umbilical cord blood for Darren to treat his disease, and now you are pregnant. As our daughter-in-law, I have to show my appreciation to you for everything you have done for Darren and our Jin family. ” Shenhai said to Lingjiao with excitement.
“Lingjiao, we won’t forget what you have done for our Jin family. Thank you so much.” Carmen continued, “No matter what you want to eat, you can have our chef cook it for you. And you don’t need to do anything, because the most. important thing for you now is to take good care of yourself and your baby.”
“Yes. Lingjiao, you will feel very tired when you are pregnant, and then you will suffer more when you give birth to a baby. If you have any questions about pregnancy and raising children, please feel free to come to me. Although I am not a doctor, I knew something about it. “Luying felt very glad, because it was hard for them to be pregnant.
“Look, you are really a treasure in our family now. My parents and my sister all want to protect you, but they have forgotten me.” Darren said with a smile.
“How can you envy me? They are your parents and sister.” Lingjiao said gently.
“No, I don’t envy you.” Darren shook his head, “But you shall be obedient and you shouldn’t go to any other place by yourself. Otherwise, I will worry about you.”
“OK, I will follow your orders.” Lingjiao acted like a spoiled child, “I have to say thanks to all of you. And I will take good care of myself and my baby. Don’t worry. As Darren’s wife, it is my responsibility to give birth to a child for Darren and our Jin family. Finally, our dream came true.”
Lingjiao talked to them politely.
It made Shenhai and Carmen like her more and thought that she was so kind, so they trusted her more.
“Darren, Lingjiao is so nice, and she loves you so much. Now, she is pregnant, you should treat her well. If you make her sad, we will punish you.” Shenhai talked to Darren seriously.
“Dad, I got it.” Darren answered and held Lingjiao’s hands.
Lingjiao said, “Dad, mom, don’t worry. Darren really treats me well.”
“Look, you always want to protect him.” Shenhai laughed and said, “If he makes you sad, we must punish him.”
“Thanks, dad.”
“Darren, take some chicken soup for Lingjiao. She should drink some chicken soup, because it is nutritious.” Carmen said to Darren.
And then Darren took up a bowl and took some chicken soup to Lingjiao, and he also took some fish meat to her, because she liked it.
They really took good care of Lingjiao, as if she was the princess in the Jin family.
***
After dinner, Darren and Lingjiao went back to the bedroom, it was past 9:00pm.
Lingjiao took a bath and then went to bed. Later, Darren found that she leaned against the head of the bed and didn’t sleep.
So he asked, “What are you thinking about? Why do you look so anxious? Have I done something wrong?”
Lingjiao patted him with her hand slightly and said, “How naughty you are. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Then do you worry about something? Could you tell me about it?” Darren held her in his arms.
Lingjiao leaned against his shoulder and said, “I want to tell you something.”
“What’s up?”
“Something about my brother…” Lingjiao glanced at him secretly.
As expected, he looked unhappy when he heard that.
“I am not interested in him. We are so happy now, I don’t want to talk about him.” Darren really didn’t like him.
“But it’s very important. I have thought about it twice before I decided to tell you about it.” Lingjiao put her hands on his chest, “Do you know why he could come back to the Xiao family?”
Darren didn’t say anything, but he held her shoulders more tightly.
Lingjiao continued, “Because she has been the mistress of Wang Yibo.”
Darren was shocked when he heard that, and then he looked at Lingjiao with puzzlement.
“It’s true. My mom told me about it. And they have admitted their relationship in front of my parents. Otherwise, I won’t believe that he would be a mistress of Yibo.” Lingjiao signed and then continued, “With the support of Yibo, he has become arrogant, and he was even impolite to my parents.”
It was his first love, which was unforgettable for him. She was afraid that Darren would leave her, so she wanted to try her best to make Zhan get away from them. However, this time she had to talk about it with him, because it was serious.
“I tell you about it because I don’t want you to have any conflict with him, so as not to offend Yibo. What’s more, nobody knows the relationship between them besides my parents and us. So you can’t tell any other people about it, otherwise, Yibo may do something to ruin the Xiao family and the Jin family.”
She didn’t want Darren to do anything to make Yibo annoyed, so she had to talk about it with him. Otherwise, she would definitely not mention him. Finally, Darren was persuaded by Lingjiao.
He nodded and said, “Well, I got it. Let’s go to sleep.” And then he turned off the lamp and went to sleep.
***
It was quiet at night. Lingjiao didn’t know when she fell asleep, and she didn’t know what time it was when she woke up.
She wanted to touch Darren as usual, but she found that he wasn’t here. And the quilt wasn’t warm, so she thought that he might get up for a while.
There was moonlight outside the window. Lingjiao got up and looked out to the French window and found that the curtains were open.
She stood up and walked to the French windows. Then she saw Darren. He was standing on the balcony and looking into the distance.
She walked towards him and embraced him from his back, and then rested her head on his back.
At this time, Darren knew it was Lingjiao and then asked, “When did you wake up?”
“Did you smoke just now?” There was a slight smell of cigarettes on him.
He didn’t smoke often before. Sometimes he just smoked for social engagement. After he was ill, he didn’t smoke at all. Why did he smoke again today?
Was it because he thought about Zhan? Did he feel annoyed?
“Don’t worry, I won’t smoke too much.” Darren explained to her, “It’s windy outside. Go back into the room.”
“I can’t fall asleep if you don’t stay together with me.” Lingjiao embraced him more tightly, “I want to hold you to sleep.”
“I feel annoyed, so I want to stay here for a while. I will come back when there is no smell of cigarettes.” Darren tried not to be annoyed and said to her gently, “Go back to the bedroom. You should pay attention to your health for our baby.”
“But I want to stay together with you.” Lingjiao didn’t want to let him alone, because she always thought that she would lose him if she let him alone.
“Lingjiao, be good.” Darren frowned because she refused to go back to the bedroom.
“Darren…” Lingjiao bit her lower lip and then told a lie, “I had a nightmare just now. I dreamed that you abandoned me and our baby, and then left with another person… Darren, would you leave us behind?”
“It was just a dream. It wasn’t true. Look, I am staying together with you now. What’s more, we have a baby now, so I won’t abandon you. You are the most important for me in my life.” Darren turned around to hold her hands and face her.
“However, it looked so real in the dream, as if it wasn’t a dream at all. Darren, don’t you want to know who that person is?” Lingjiao looked at him anxiously.
“It wasn’t true. So it doesn’t make sense.” Darren held her hands and found that her hands were cold.
“Darren, it was my brother. I dreamed that you stayed together with him again and abandoned me and then left together with him at last… Darren, please don’t leave us behind.” Lingjiao looked at him with tears in her eyes, and then she embraced him and said, “Darren, we can’t live without you.”
Darren looked at her and touched her hair, “I heard that women always like to think too much when they are pregnant. Now, I find that it is true.”
“Lingjiao, he betrayed me like that five years ago. I hate him, so I won’t abandon you because of him now. Without you, I couldn’t be alive. So I won’t leave you behind. Please trust me.”
Lingjiao felt relieved when she heard that, “I trust you. But I don’t trust him. He always thinks that you broke up with him because of me. Now that he knows that I am so happy with you, he will definitely try to take revenge on me. And the best way for him is to take you away from me. As we all know, he loved you so much before.”
“Now, he is with Mr. Yibo, I don’t think he will love me anymore. Since he had betrayed me, I didn’t think he really loved me. So you don’t need to worry about that, otherwise, it will be bad for our baby.” Darren held her in his arms, “Let’s go to sleep.”
Darren didn’t want to talk about Zhan anymore, so he held her in his arms and then went back to the bedroom to go to sleep.
However, she couldn’t enter deep sleep because she couldn’t help thinking about it.
In her mind, Darren behaved very abnormally today because he actually smoked. He used to smoke every time he quarreled with Zhan when he was with him. Now she told him that Zhan had become the mistress of Yibo, and then he had insomnia and smoked.
He might no longer love him, but it was difficult to get rid of the habits he developed when he was with him.
Even though he said that he wouldn’t leave her behind because of Zhan, she could feel that he would be sad because of him. Therefore, Lingjiao thought that she would try her best to seize happiness for herself.
As long as she wanted to make Zhan unhappy, she would try her best to give him hell even though he had the support of Wang Yibo.
***
Next Day Kindergarten.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
After Zhan had a Ferrari, he could save so much time every day.
Fei also felt that it looked so cool with red color when she sat in the car.
When they arrived at the gate of Kindergarten, they met Lixian and Yaxin.
“Good morning, Uncle Zhan. Good morning, Fei.” Yaxin greeted them excitedly.
He felt happy every day when he met Fei in Kindergarten.
“Good morning.” Fei also greeted them politely.
“Let’s go to school together.”
And then Yaxin went into the school hand in hand with Fei, and they looked like good friends. When they turned back to wave goodbye to Zhan and Lixian, they accidentally bumped into the person behind them.
“I am so sorry.” They apologized at once. However, Fei. looked at the man standing in front of them and suddenly said, “You are uncle Darren…”
Yaxin heard that Fei knew the man, so he also greeted him, “Hello, uncle Darren…
“Uncle Darren, why are you here? I never knew that you had a child.” Fei asked him with puzzlement.
“I drove my niece to Kindergarten today. She’s my sister’s daughter.” Darren talked to them patiently.
“What’s her name?”
“Her name is Qinsu.” Darren looked at them and said, “I think you shall go into Kindergarten now, otherwise, you will be late.”
“See you, uncle Darren.” And then they left.
At this time, Darren and Zhan stood face to face, and the distance between them was no more than three meters. So Zhan also saw Darren. Darren looked at him coldly, and it seemed that he hated him.
Zhan didn’t care what he thought of himself anyway, he had already convicted him five years ago.
Lixian found that there was something wrong between them, so he asked, “Do you know him?”
“He is my sister’s husband.” Zhan said calmly.
“Your sister’s husband?” Lixian could feel that he hated him, but he didn’t know why.
Darren was wearing a gray suit, with one hand in his pocket, and then he walked towards Zhan gracefully. “If you have time, I would like to talk with you.”
Zhan didn’t expect that Darren would want to talk with him alone once again. He said, “I have to go to work, so I am afraid that I have no time to talk with you.”
“How about talking with each other for a while at noon? I don’t think you have no time to eat lunch and take a nap at noon.” Darren asked Zhan and it seemed that he really wanted to talk with him today.
“If I am too busy at noon, I may have no time to talk with you at noon.” Zhan refused to talk with him again.
“Which company do you work for? Why don’t you have time for lunch?” Darren kept asking.
Lixian coughed lightly and then said, “Zhan, it’s time to go to work, but you can take 10 more minutes to talk with him. I will go first.”
And then Lixian left.
Darren looked at Lixian and asked Zhan,”Is he your boss?”
“He is the General Manager of the company.” Zhan said, “My boss only gives me ten more minutes, please hurry up if you want to talk with me.”
Darren looked at the beverage shop located on the left side of the street and said, “Let’s go to the beverage shop there and talk with each other.”
***
After they got to the beverage shop, they sat down on the chairs next to the round table in the corner, with green plants around them.
A waiter came up to them and asked them what kind of drink they wanted. And then they ordered a cup of black coffee and a cup of lemon water.
They sat there face to face, but they didn’t talk.
After a while, Zhan raised his hand and looked at his watch, and he said to Darren, “Mr. Darren, it has been three minutes. There are only 7 minutes left.”
There was only Darren and Zhan, so he called him Mr. Darren in order to keep the distance between them.
“Don’t you really want to stay with me alone?” Darren picked up the spoon and stirred the coffee in the cup gently.
“Mr. Darren, if you have nothing to talk about with me, I would like to go to work.” Zhan took up his bag and intended to leave.
“What’s the relationship between you and Yibo?” Darren took up the cup of coffee and drank it while asking him coldly.
Zhan stood there and said, “He is the principal our projects.”
“Is that all?” Darren put down the cup.
“Do you think there will be any special relationship between us?” Zhan sneered and looked up at him.
“As we all know, everyone wants to cooperate with Wang Group in terms of their projects. However, not everyone is qualified to cooperate with Wang Group. What’s more, Nyle Feng had been in charge of the project of the Beijing Theater. And later, Wang Yibo in charge of it by himself.” Darren had got the information before talking with Zhan, “In Wang Group, the Deputy General Manager or Director will be responsible for such projects, and Yibo never interferes. Why is he personally responsible for the project this time? Mr. Zhan, do you know why?”
Zhan understood that Darren suspected that he had made love with Yibo for benefits.
“If you want to know more about it, I think you can ask Mr. Yibo.” Zhan sat down again and said, “I have nothing to say.”
“Really?” Darren sneered and said with sarcasm, “I can understand you why you don’t want to talk about it. Because it is really shameful for you as a mistress.”
“Well…” Zhan sneered and then said with a smile, “Even if I am a mistress of him, it’s none of your business. Why do you ask me about that? Do you want to show your concerns to me in the name of my ex-fiancé?”
“I am sorry, I don’t need your concerns. Please don’t forget that you have been married, and your wife is my younger sister. And you are unqualified to care about me.”
Zhan reminded him not to do anything wrong.
“Zhan, you have a child. You should be responsible for your child. How can you be the mistress of Yibo? As we all know, he has been married. Why do you do that? He is not the one you can fall in love with.” Darren stared at him indifferently.
Zhan saw that Darren was angry. He took up the cup of lemon water and drank it, and then he put down the cup on the table slowly.
Darren also took up the cup of coffee and drank it, and he still looked serious.
After keeping silent for a while, Darren said again, “If he isn’t married, and you are with him, I will send the best wishes for you. However, he has been married. How can you be with him? He likes you just because he wants to play a game with a pretty man. After the game is over, he will abandon you without hesitation.”
“And then, you will lose your youth, your body and your dignity. Zhan, you should think about it for your child.”
“Certainly, I say that just because I think the child is innocent. Please don’t think too much.”
Zhan listened to him carefully, and then he said without guilt, “I think I have to appreciate you for considering me. But this is my choice, and I respect my choice.”
“Zhan, you are so stubborn.”
Finally, Zhan didn’t accept Darren advice even though he had tried his best to persuade him.
“You wouldn’t know how well he treated me. When I was in trouble, he would always help me first; and he never allowed anyone to hurt me. The most important thing is that he always trusts me.” Zhan looked in Darren’s eyes when he said.
Darren felt shocked when he saw his bright eyes, and he also felt sad when Zhan said that. And he clasped the chair handle tightly with his hands.
Did Zhan blame me because I didn’t trust him but Lingjiao five years ago? However, in that case, I really felt sad. What’s more, as the saying goes, facts speak louder than words.
“I believe in fact.” Darren said.
“Then I believe in my own choice.” Zhan was persistent.
“I think it’s different.” Darren signed, “Why don’t you understand? Please don’t get yourself hurt. If you keep doing so, you will destroy his family and his wife will also get hurt.”
“I don’t want to hurt anyone.” Zhan said, “I just choose the right person.”
“Zhan, if you do it to take revenge on me for what happened five years ago, I won’t stop you.” Darren thought that Zhan did it just to take revenge on him, “However, please don’t hurt Lingjiao. She’s your sister.”
“Mr. Darren loves your wife so much, and it really makes me touched.” Finally, he talked so much with me just to protect Lingjiao. How could I think that he was considering me?
Zhan continued, “As the saying goes, little help brings much return. I will be grateful to everyone who has helped me. And for those who have hurt me, I shall repay them twice.”
“Then how will you make up for me for what happened five years ago?” Darren said with sadness.
“I didn’t owe you anything. Why should I make up for you? In my opinion, you should make up for me.” Zhan said calmly.
“Why should I make up for you? What do you mean?” Darren asked him with puzzlement.
“Mr. Darren, time’s up. See you.” Zhan said and then left without hesitation.
Darren watched him leave and felt sad. He took up his coffee and drank it all.
***
Liu Company.
°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
After he got out of the beverage shop, Zhan took a deep breath.
He walked towards the Ferrari and got in the car, and then he drove to the Company.
Zhan didn’t attend the meeting because he was late. He just sat down on his chair and tried to calm himself down. And then he stood up and walked into the tea room, because he wanted to have a cup of coffee.
However, when he got to the door of the tea room, he heard that some people were discussing about him inside.
“You know what? Today Mr. Lixian helped Zhan ask for leave from the personnel department.” Someone said.
“Do you know the relationship between Mr. Lixian and Zhan?” Someone asked.
“I think it’s obvious. He must be Mr. Lixian’s mistress…”
“Mr. Lixian divorced for four years. I never heard that he had anyone in four years. And I don’t think Zhan will be his mistress.” Someone argued with them.
“Some time ago, I saw Zhan in the car of Mr. Lixian.”
“I saw Mr. Lixian driving Zhan home several times.”
“Maybe he just took a ride.”
“Did you see Mr. Lixian driving any other staff home in our company?”
All the people shook their heads.
“So I believe Zhan has been with Mr. Lixian. Have your seen his Ferrari recently? I think it was a gift given by Mr. Lixian.”
“I heard that Zhan also had a special relationship with Mr.Yibo in Beijing when he stayed in headquarters. Once when they were eating together, he seduced Mr. Yibo and asked him to sit next to him.”
“It showed that Zhan is very good at seducing men. I think you guys can learn from him, so that you can also seduce some rich men. If so, you don’t need to worry about money forever.”
“Do you have any evidence? How can you say that? I trust Zhan anyway. He is capable and beautiful, and he can marry a man if he really loves.”
“Do you know why he doesn’t get married? Because he has high demands on men or he is greedy so he wants to get more benefits from different men. You really don’t know anything about it.”
Zhan was unhappy when he heard them talking. This was not only an insult to him, but also an insult to Lixian and Yibo.
But the staff in the office always wanted to take others’ fodder for topic conversations.
Zhan took out his phone and pretended that he was talking on the phone. Then he walked into the tea room while pretending to talk on the phone, “Dear, do you get to the company? Please remember to eat lunch no matter how busy you are. I will take good care of myself. Don’t worry. Remember to miss me”
Zhan walked into the tea room, as if he hadn’t heard anything. At this time, all the people shut up and looked at him.
Zhan ignored them and kept talking on the phone while making coffee.
“Dear, I have to focus on my work now.” Zhan kept pretending, “I miss you so much. Love you. Bye.” Zhan pretended to hang up the phone and put it into his pocket, and then he kept making coffee.
Those people who were discussing in the tea room just now didn’t discuss anymore. Some of them were taking a cup of water, some of them were squeezing juice. However, they all paid attention to Zhan secretly.
“Zhan, have you got married?” Mianmian took a cup in her hands and asked Zhan, “You talked on the phone loudly just now, so I heard what you said…”
Zhan looked up at her and said, “Yes, I have been married, and I have a kid who is 5 years old now.”
“What?”
“Why?”
“That’s impossible!”
Zhan said to them calmly, which surprised them. And they felt it was unbelievable.
Because Zhan was 25 years old, and he looked young and pure.
If he didn’t talk about it, nobody would think that he was married and had a child.
“Zhan, are you kidding me? Do you have a five-year-old kid? No way!” Mianmian looked Zhan up and down carefully.
“Yes, it’s true.” Zhan said confidently, “How can I make a joke with you about it? I don’t have to show my self-deprecating humor on this matter, right?”
“Yes, you’re right.” Mianmian felt embarrassed and said, “So did you give birth to a child when you were about 20 years old? I think you were really brave.”
Zhan thought about the past, and he felt a bit sad. He said, “I also think that I was really brave at that time.”
At that time, he made love with a strange man just to save Darren. Fortunately, he was pregnant after making love with the strange man one time, and the umbilical cord blood of the baby could be used for his treatment.
If he wasn’t pregnant or the umbilical cord blood of his baby wasn’t useful for his treatment, he would feel desperate.
Finally, he saved Darren. In other words, he repaid Darren for saving him once.
So he didn’t owe him anymore.
“I think his husband must be the one he really loved, so he married him and then gave birth to a baby. Zhan, your husband and you love each other very much, right?”
I and Yibo… loved each other very much? Although they got married, they were in a contractual relationship.
“Yes.” Zhan answered.
“Zhan, could you share your love story with me? I think it must be very romantic… Mianmian asked Zhan, because she was really curious about the reason why Zhan got married so young.
“Nothing special.” There was no love story between Yibo and him.
“Was there anything romantic or earthshattering?” Mianmian asked.
“No.” Zhan said, “We are just ordinary people, so our life is also very ordinary.”
Mianmian nodded with agreement.
“Well, let’s go to work.” Zhan took up a cup of coffee and left.
After Zhan left, Mianmian said to those people who were discussing, “I told you Zhan was a good boy, but you didn’t believe me. Look, he has been married and has a child.”
“Even though he has been married, he might also seduce Mr. Lixian.” Some people said, “As the saying goes, cats hide their claws.”
“How can you say that?” Mianmian was really angry, “No matter what, I trust Zhan.”
“We also trust Zhan. He has a correct view of the world, life and values.” Some people supported Zhan.
“We’ll see.”
***
When they came back to the office, Zhan had started working.
After a while, a courier walked into the office by holding a box of bright and red roses in his hands.
Every flower was as big as a wine cup, and there were crystal drops of water on the flowers, which made other people envied.
“Who is Xiao Zhan?”
“I would like to call him right now.” Mianmian stood up and walked towards Zhan.
She told Zhan that there was a courier who was looking for him.
And then Zhan got out of his own office and he was surprised when he saw the courier holding a box of roses in his hands.
“Hello, I am Xiao Zhan.” Zhan said, “What’s wrong?”
“Mr Zhan, here are some flowers for you. Please sign it.”
The courier handed him the receipt.
Zhan took over the receipt and glanced at the roses, “Are you sure? Didn’t you get the information wrong?”
“Don’t worry, Mr Zhan. We won’t get it wrong.” The courier said with a smile.
After he signed on the receipt, the courier handed the box of the flowers to him.
“Zhan, does your husband give it to you? He’s really romantic.” Mianmian guessed.
Zhan opened the box and read the card inside, [It’s sunny here today. I hope it’s also sunny in the city where you live. Your Mr. Wang.]
Oh god! It was so sweet.
Zhan was moved and felt warm when he read the card, so he smiled.
Why did he suddenly give me the flowers? I told my colleagues that I had a husband today, and then he gave me the flowers. What a coincidence!
It felt like they were connected.
Zhan looked outside the window and found that it was sunny today.
“Zhan, you look beautiful when you smile. You should often smile.” Mianmian felt that Zhan looked so serious at work, so the colleagues didn’t like him very much.
“If I usually smile by myself, I will look like a fool.” Zhan put down the card and said, “I think we should be serious at work.”
Zhan put down the flowers on the desk and then went to the meeting room.
…
Lixian sat in the meeting room, and he asked his secretary to give everyone a copy of the information.
“Now you can read the files. We are going to talk about the project of the Xiao Group and the Jin Group. That is the Beach Hotel. We are just one company among all the bidding companies. I hope you can work together for this project. If our company wins the bid, I will apply to the head office to increase the bonus for this project and year-end bonus for you.” Lixian said while reading the files.
“You can read the requirements about this project stated in the files, and then we have to determine the style and design direction of this project as quickly as possible. As long as the plan proposed by any of you is adopted, you can become the main designer of this project”
***
After one hour, the meeting ended. Zhan came back to his office and took out his phone.
And then he found that Yibo texted him when he attended the meeting.
[Mrs. Wang, do you like the roses?]
After one minute, he texted him again.
[Mrs. Wang, it’s impolite if you don’t say thanks after receiving a gift.]
[Are you very busy?]
And then he didn’t text him anymore.
Zhan typed through the invisible keyboard on the phone and texted him through Wechat. [I was in a meeting just now. The flowers you gave me are very beautiful, thank you.]
After half a minute, Yibo texted, [I can give you flowers every day if you like.]
[No, thanks. It’s a waste of money.]
[How can you say that it’s a waste of money? Do you think that I will go broke if I buy you flowers every day? Don’t worry. I have earned a lot of money, so I can buy you a lot of flowers.]
[Why did you want to give me flowers?]
Did he give me flowers on impulse?
[Mrs. Wang is pretty and excellent. As your husband, I should tell other people that you are my wife in this way, and you are the one to me, so that they won’t dare to take you away from me.]
[No one will love a man who has a five-year-old child unless he is stupid.]
[I love you, Because I know you are a good boy.]
Zhan smiled when he read the message. Mr. Yibo was really good at speaking sweet words. He only praised himself but also showed his appreciation for him in this way.
[Mr. Yibo is good at speaking sweet words.]
[I am sincere.]
