The parents were supposed to leave after sending their kids to school. But as it was the first day of school, many parents were worried about their children and loitered outside the school gate instead.
Lin Xinyan was one of them. Time flies. They were only babies a second ago, but now they are entering primary school already.
Zong Jinghao wrapped his hand around her shoulder and said, “Let’s go. The kids are bound to grow up one day.”
Lin Xinyan nodded in understanding.
But they did not return home. Zong Jinghao claimed that he had to attend to work matters and asked her to stay in the car to wait for him. In fact, he went to see Mr. Wang and lied to Lin Xinyan because he did not want her around.
Due to the long wait and probably because of the air-conditioning in the car, Lin Xinyan felt thirsty and asked the chauffeur to help her buy a bottle of mineral water.
“I don’t want it to be cold.”
The chauffeur nodded and left the car.
She continued to look out of the car window at pedestrians passing by the car. Suddenly, she caught sight of a familiar silhouette in the rearview mirror. She rolled down the car window and stretched her head out to take a better look.
She frowned in bafflement. What is Guan Jing doing here? Is he here for work, too?
She opened the car door and was about to leave the car when she saw a woman running after him. I have seen this woman before. She is the one uttering rubbish to me in the hospital that day! Jinghao has told me that she is Gu Bei’s sister. What is she doing together with Guan Jing?
She quickly closed the door again and studied them from the rearview mirror, wondering what their relationship was.
On the other hand, Guan Jing was going crazy as he had reached the limit of his patience with her. Gu Huiyuan has been stalking me at my house and in the office. Now I have nowhere to go!
“What do you want? I have already resigned and am left with nothing now! Why are you still bothering me?” Guan Jing glared at Gu Huiyuan, fuming with rage.
After regaining his composure, he continued, “Oh yes, you have a hold over me. Haven’t I made myself clear? I don’t care what you do with it. I have nothing to be embarrassed about.”
Gu Huiyuan realized that she had underestimated him. Everyone around Zong Jinghao, including Su Zhan, Shen Peichuan, and even Guan Jing, is obstinate and difficult to handle!
She gritted her teeth in anger. “Guan Jing, are you really not going to help me?”
“Keep on dreaming!” Guan Jing said with emphasis on every word.
Gu Huiyuan clenched her fists tightly. “Fine, I will make things difficult for you since you don’t want to help me!”
Guan Jing scoffed. “Since when have you not made things difficult for me?”
“Guan Jing!” Gu Huiyuan was so incensed that she stomped her feet.
Why is his man so obstinate? And he has even quit his job! Is he mad?
Although she could not comprehend his thoughts, she understood that her hold over him would not work on him. After all, what more is there for him to fear if he doesn’t even care about his career prospects? Maybe I can play the sympathy card?
Suddenly, her eyes clouded over with gloom and asked in a calm tone, “Guan Jing, how old are you?”
Guan Jing was startled by her sudden change and took a couple of steps back. What is this woman up to again?
“Why are you asking about my age?”
Gu Huiyuan smiled. “I guess you are in your thirties?”
“It’s none of your business!” Guan Jing hollered at her.
Not only did Gu Huiyuan not lose her calm this time, but she even grinned widely. “Do you want to be a daddy?”
Guan Jing stiffened and asked, “What do you mean?”
He was getting worked up now.
Gu Huiyuan lowered her gaze and rubbed her belly. “Do you really not understand what I mean?”
Guan Jing sneered, “Are you trying to say that you are bearing my child?”
He stopped in his tracks. “Do you think I will believe your words?”
