Chapter 409

Ning Qing was speaking the truth. Jian Han has slimmed down a lot.

She’s always had a beautiful, almond-shaped face, and now she has slimmed down so much that her face was not even the size of a palm, but her skin was as pale as snow and looked more pitiful compared to her usual glow.

Ning Qing finished speaking, and the senior presidents in the lift all turned around to look towards Jian Han. A few knew Tang Fan. One smiled and asked, “Director Tang, is this is your girlfriend? She is so pretty.”

Tang Fan placed his arms around Jian Han’s shoulders and cupped her into his embrace. He nodded and said, “Yeah.”

Jian Han froze in his embrace.

She tried to struggle a moment.

But Tang Fan’s hand on her shoulder pressed her gently. His meaning was — In front of so many people, give me some face.

Jian Han stopped moving.

She heard another person ask, “Director Tang, when can we attend your wedding banquet? Ever since your second younger brother passed away, Old Master Tang hopes of carrying his grandson has landed on you, you cannot let Old Master Tang be disappointed.”

“That’s right,” Tang Fan politely replied. “We will be going back to Singapore soon. After we return to Singapore, we will get married, and my grandfather’s wishes will come true.”

“Haha.” Everyone laughed and said, “Miss Jian seems to gain the favour of small children, then we will wish Director Tang in advance that you would soon have a chubby fat son and become a daddy.”

Jian Han listened to their conversation numbly. She was hugged by Tang Fan. She could not feel an ounce of warmth. She wanted to lift her head to look at the man opposite to her, but she did not have the courage.

He probably also did not care.

Ding! The elevator door opened up, and Zhou Dayuan was the first one to walk out.

Lu Shaoming had both of his hands in his pocket as he looked at his back profile and called out, “Dayuan…”

Zhou Dayuan did not even turn his head back as he walked off.

Ning Qing carried Little Qinwen as she walked out. She walked to Lu Shaoming’s side, and the senior presidents beside her walked out. Jian Han and Tang Fan walked out at last.

Jian Han looked at the direction where he had disappeared to and said to Ning Qing, “Ning Qing, Young Master Lu, I will be going.”

“Older Sister Jian, I will take you.”

“There is no need.” Jian Han shook her head, and stretched her hand out to touch Little Qin Wen’s small head before she turned around to leave.

Tang Fan placed his arms around her shoulders for the entire duration, and both of them walked to the bend. When there was no one around, Jian Han struggled and left Tang Fan’s embrace. She took two steps towards her side. “Tang Fan, I am leaving.”

“Jian Han, it is already dark. I will drive you.”

“There is no need.”

Tang Fan quickly went to hold Jian Han’s small hand. “Jian Han, are you angry because of what I said in the elevator?”

Jian Han shrunk towards the back, and did not allow him to touch her, “I am not angry, Tang Fan. Don’t be like that in the future anymore, it is hard to cover up a lie, don’t let others misunderstand.”

Jian Han left.

Tang Fan looked at her back profile, and his eyes were full of defeat.

…

Jian Han was still wearing that light pink dress, and she had a beige knitted shirt over it. This place was close to her condominium unit. She did not take a car. Instead, she chose to walk back home.

After walking for some distance, the phone inside her bag started to ring, she opened it to have a look. It was an extremely familiar number.

Zhou Dayuan’s.

Jian Han’s heart started to beat quickly, ever since they quarrelled with one another that night, he had not called her.

Why was he calling her right now?

Jian Han bit down on her pink lip with her white teeth before pressing down on the key to pick the call up.

“Hello…”

There was no sound from the other end; it was extremely silent.

Jian Han did not know what he meant by this. He called her but did not say anything. She was slow to notice things, and she did not know what to say either. “…Hello… Dayuan..”

She was shivering as she said his name.

The breathing on the other end became hurried. Jian Han listened for a few moments. It sounded like he was panting. It was very abnormal, and she did not know why he was panting.

She did not know what to say. After hearing him pant some more, he finally said something. His voice was extremely hoarse as he said, “Remove the outer shirt that you are wearing.”

He commanded her, a departure from his typically warm demeanour. His tone was cruel and lazy. At the same time he laughed, sounding both evil and wild.

Jian Han got a rough picture. Her almond shaped face was red and white, and she did not know whether she was shy or insulted. She even lowered her head down and did not dare to face the main street. She knew that his car was probably parked somewhere nearby.

He was looking at her.

Jian Han’s nose was red. Whatever he said, she did not dare to go against him. She did not even consider doing so inside her bones. She touched one side of her small shoulders and opened her outer shirt, exposing her smooth, fair skin.

The tears welling inside her eyes trickled down.

The other end stopped as he said, “What are you crying about? Such a turn off!”

Ding, ding. He cruelly hung up.

Jian Han knew that he left, and he was not satisfied. He would probably drive away to look for another girl. There were many girls that were appearing by his side.

Jian Han put her phone away and wiped her tears clean as she headed in the direction of the condominium unit. She placed her small hand on her flat stomach. She was talking to the baby. Baby, your father came to see you… But Daddy does not know about your existence. If Daddy knew, he would definitely be very happy…

…

Lu Shaoming and Ning Qing were still in the large hall. Ning Qing looked at Jian Han’s disappearing back profile, and she sharply raised her eyebrows. She could not help but be displeased, “What is this Older Brother Dayuan doing? Does he need to be angry for so long after a quarrel? He was unhappy as he saw Older Sister Jian and Director Tang being together, but he did not take the initiative himself. He will only end up pushing Older Sister Jian further and further away like this.”

Lu Shaoming laughed as he looked at the small woman by his side. His deep voice was gentle as he said, “Dayuan is scared of being hurt again. Jian Han left so hurriedly when he was in trouble six years ago. Although Dayuan did not say it, he was left traumatized inside his heart, and he does not feel secure. Jian Han probably did something to provoke him, and he does not dare to go forward anymore.”

Ning Qing nodded her head as she said, “Hmm, that makes sense… This won’t do. I have to think of a plan to help both of them.”

At this moment, a large hand pinned her small shoulders down, and her entire being fell into a pure, broad embrace. He said, “Don’t worry about their business. Let’s go home.”

Ning Qing looked at his black suit. The cut and material was premium quality, and the texture felt comfortable. It had the aura of a matured man. Ning Qing’s face turned red as she struggled slightly. “What are we going home…to do?”

Upon saying these words, Ning Qing hated that she could not bite her own tongue off. What nonsense was she spouting?

The man’s ears were so wicked, and he could naturally hear the other meaning in her words. He lifted his eyebrows and was in a good mood. “Wifey, are you reminding me of something right now? If I don’t do something when we return home, won’t I be letting Wifey down then? You performed well today. I will reward you when we get home.”

Reward her?

Ning Qing felt drunk. Who was the one really being rewarded when they did that?

Although being together with him, she was also very satisfied.

Ning Qing squirmed around like a small woman, and it was just for show. Lu Shaoming looked at her tender pink cheeks before he half pushed and hugged her to head out.

The atmosphere was joyous and loving.

At this moment, “Young Master Lu, Ning Qing…” Xiao Zhou and a few staff members walked over.

“Ning Qing, the car is ready. The place that you mentioned for the celebration dinner, I have made a reservation already.”

Ning Qing froze. She quickly palmed her head. She was mesmerized by the man by her side entirely and was in a hurry to go back home with him…but she forgot about the celebration dinner tonight.

Ning Qing passed Little Qinwen to the man. She was embarrassed and spat her pink tongue out. Her coy voice was bargaining with him as she looked at the expression on her face. “Shaoming, can you bring Little Qinwen back home first? I will go to the celebratory dinner for a moment and will go home very quickly.”

Lu Shaoming held Little Qinwen up with one arm, and he had a frown on his face. His thin maroon lips were pursed together in a straight line. It was obvious that he was unhappy as he said, “Ning Qing!”

He did not say anything else, only her name.

He was threatening her.

Ning Qing’s scalp felt numb. He was giving her face during the competition just now. He said that there would be trouble at night. Actually, at home, she was the one with the lowest status.

She’d have quite a bit to make up for.

Ning Qing was put on the spot. Xiao Zhou and the others were all behind her. She had long said that she would not go back on her word regarding the celebratory dinner. Furthermore, it was still early. He should bring their son back home first, then she would rush back very quickly.

The night was long…and it also did not affect him.

Ning Qing looked at him with her bright, shining eyes as she weakly begged him, “Shao Ming, then we will agree on this: one hour. I will go home punctually in one hour.”

Ning Qing turned around, and stretched her hand out to address Xiao Zhou and the rest before she nimbly ran away like a small rabbit.

After that, Little Qinwen saw Mama’s figure, then he turned his head to look at Daddy, Daddy’s handsome face was entirely black now.

The main reason for his unhappy expression was…

The two sat in the back of the luxurious vehicle. The boy kept climbing around. He climbed onto Daddy’s large thighs. He simply wouldn’t sit properly. Daddy’s long legs moved, and he was placed into the corner against the door of the car.

Little Qinwen: “…”

Zhu Rui noticed this tense atmosphere and immediately broke out into loud laughter to calm things down. “Haha! President, Madam is happy after winning the championship today. It is also a must for her to organize a celebratory dinner. Madam will return home very soon. You…should wait… Haha…”

Zhu Rui laughed awkwardly before he looked at the rear view mirror to carefully glance at the man. The man did not have an expression on his face as he said, “Drive your car. If you do not want to drive, get out!”

Zhu Rui: “…”

…

Little Qinwen followed Daddy back to the villa. Aunty Yang prepared an entire table of dishes. Father and son faced each other as they sat down, and they were extremely silent as they ate their food.

Little Qinwen has developed manners. He was unable to hide if he made Daddy angry. He also could not duck away. He held the railings of the stairs as he made it upstairs, and he sat down on the carpet of the bedroom to play with wooden blocks.

He was playing happily, and Daddy came over.

Daddy stood by his side and watched, then he left. Little Qin Wen turned his head. Daddy was standing at the door of the bathroom with both of his long legs crossed together lazily. He was tall and handsome as he lay back on the wall. He put his left hand in his pocket, and he held his phone in his right hand as he made a call.

“Hello, Ning Qing, come back quickly… Yeah, your son kept saying that his stomach hurt after eating dinner… The doctor came over to have a look. Your son is crying nonstop. He wants Mama to carry him…”

Little Qinwen thought, This Daddy was so boring, he was doing fine, he could eat, sleep, and have fun, his stomach did not hurt at all.

Daddy did not feel embarrassed to lie at all.

Little Qinwen was judging him. Daddy went over. His well-cut suit went upwards as he stooped down, exposing his black cotton socks and slippers. He was pure, attractive, and charming. “Little Qinwen, Daddy will let you know: Later, when Mama comes back, you have to hug your stomach as you pretend to be in pain, okay?”

Little Qinwen lifted his head up, and his large grape-like eyes were rolling around quickly. Okay then, a father could not harm his own son. With a pro cheater as his father, could this mini cheater mess it up?

Little Qinwen patted his chest with his small hand. Hand it over to me later.

Wasn’t it just sticking to Mama to keep her around?

It was a simple task.
