Chapter 517: There’s a Hostage in Her Belly

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

On the way, Rong Qi received a call from Ye Nanshen. He told her he wouldn’t be returning and asked her not to bring him food.

Rong Qi slightly frowned and asked, “Why?”

The deep voice on the other end spoke, “It’s nothing. Just wait for me at home.”

Rong Qi looked out at the buildings rushing by the window and said with a slight smile, “That won’t do, I’m already on the way. I’ll buy something and come over. See you later.”

After saying that, Rong Qi hung up.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Jingsheng Corporation was unusually oppressive, no one dared to speak, and even breathing seemed like a luxury.

Zhuang Ling and Gu Ziye, among others, were chased downstairs and stood in the lobby with faces full of worry. Every time Old Master Ye came here, he would have a big fight with Ye Nanshen, and then leave with bad blood. Every time Old Master Ye came, he was here to apply pressure.

When Rong Qi arrived, she saw Gu Ziye and others standing as if facing a formidable enemy at the bottom. A hint of mockery flashed through her eyes and she said, “Is everything alright? Why are you all standing here and not taking a seat upstairs?”

Gu Ziye could no longer look Rong Qi straight in the eyes, feeling admiration and despising his own groveling. So, he coldly huffed and said, “I’m not in the mood to banter with you. Old Master Ye is here.”

“Oh.” Rong Qi responded indifferently.

‘No wonder Ye Nanshen didn’t want me to come over.’ Rong Qi thought.

“Oh? You’re so indifferent about Shen? Don’t you know what kind of pressure he faces every time Old Master Ye comes? How many times have the gains that were within reach been thwarted by him? For what? These are all the achievements Shen worked hard for, staying up late into the night. Don’t you care about him?”

Gu Ziye was almost moved to tears as he spoke. He discovered that the biggest obstacle for Jingsheng Corporation was Old Master Ye.

Gu Ziye paused for a moment, looking at Rong Qi, and said, “This time the collaboration with Qiyan Studio won’t end easily for Shen. I expect it’s going to be a tough battle. I don’t know what methods Old Master Ye will use to force him to compromise.”

Rong Qi just nodded, not saying a word.

Gu Ziye glanced at Rong Qi and asked, “Why are you here?”

“To bring food for him.” Rong Qi lifted the bag she was holding, which seemed to be squirming slightly.

Gu Ziye frowned and warned, “You better not go, lest you get caught in the crossfire between them.”

“It’s okay, I can handle it,” Rong Qi said as she headed towards the private elevator.

Gu Ziye’s eyes lit up. He thought, ‘That’s right, Rong Qi is pregnant now, if Old Master Ye exerted pressure on them, they could use the baby to counter! Brilliant! The timing of this baby couldn’t be more perfect!’

Gu Ziye secretly rubbed his hands together and said, “Then you hurry up, if you see Old Master Ye getting angry at Shen, just use your belly to block in front. Let’s see what he does!”

Rong Qi looked at Gu Ziye with disdain and said, “Can you stay away from me, monkey?”

Gu Ziye gritted his teeth. He grunted in his mind, ‘I’ll endure this! Just because she’s pregnant and she’s my idol, Camellia. I can be angry with Rong Qi but not Camellia. Especially now that there’s a little hostage in her belly! How frustrating! How I wish I could be pregnant too, so everyone would let me be. Then, no one would dare to pressure me. Hmph!’

Rong Qi rode the elevator alone, heading upstairs.

Gu Ziye turned around, only to notice someone had joined them. Upon a closer look, he asked, “Eh? Is that…Mr. Sheng?”

Zhuang Ling said, “Mr. Gu, it is indeed Mr. Sheng.”

Gu Ziye resumed a more serious demeanor, shaking hands with him in a pretentious manner, and asked, “Mr. Sheng, what brings you here…?”

As far as Gu Ziye remembered, they had no business dealings with Sheng Jian..
