After the close of trading, Song Yunxuan walked out of the study with a cup of coffee.
Just as she was about to drink the coffee, Zang Linger saw it and grabbed the cup of strong coffee from Song Yunxuan’s hand.
“Are you gonna abandon the baby in your belly?”
Zang Linger knitted her brows, blaming Song Yunxuan.
It was the first time that someone had cared about Song Yunxuan this much.
Hearing Zang Linger’s words, Song Yunxuan smiled, asking, “So, are you expecting this child?”
Zang Linger smiled briefly, asking Song Yunxuan, “Don’t you expect to see him?”
Song Yunxuan slightly lowered her eyes when hearing this question and then answered, “Of course I do.”
Song Yunxuan wanted very much to bring the baby into the world.
Chu Mochen had gone, so the only family she had and missed was this baby.
How could Song Yunxuan not expect to see him?
Hearing Song Yunxuan’s reply, Zang Linger continued, “OK. Since you hope that the baby could come to the world safely, you should treat him well. Otherwise, the baby won’t be willing to come to you.”
Song Yunxuan stroked her belly with her hand, saying smilingly, “He will be willing to come to me.”
Zang Linger felt curious, asking, “How can you be so sure?”
“Because he is now in my belly, and I’m his mother.”
Zang Linger nodded, replying, “That makes sense.”
With that, Zang Linger took a look at the wall clock, reminding Song Yunxuan, “It’s getting late. I think you should turn in.”
Song Yunxuan took a look at the clock and replied, “Right. Time for bed.”
Zang Linger put the cup of coffee on the desk next to her, nudging Song Yunxuan and saying, “Come on. Go to bed now.”
Song Yunxuan smiled, “Why do you become so considerate to me after I got pregnant?”
“Because I hope that you can bring the baby into the world and let him be my godson.”
Song Yunxuan smiled, replying, “That’ll be good.”
“Not only good. It’ll be awesome! How blessed is your son to have a godmother like me!”
Zang Linger accompanied Song Yunxuan to her bedroom and opened the door for her, saying, “Alright. Please go to bed now.”
Song Yunxuan nodded, reminding her, “You too.”
Zang Linger nodded.
Then Song Yunxuan entered her bedroom.
Seeing that, Zang Linger sighed gently.
Then she turned around and walked back to her room.
Song Yunxuan’s life didn’t turn out the way Zang Linger thought it would be. Song Yunxuan could have enjoyed a splendid life with Chu Mochen, which was so enviable.
But when everyone envied her, Chu Mochen died without warning.
No one in Yuncheng had ever expected that.
As Chu Mochen’s fiancée, Song Yunxuan must have been hit hard by this incident.
But luckily, Song Yunxuan knew what her ultimate goal was. Thus, she still knew where she should be headed for just like always.
If not, Song Yunxuan would have probably been lost after Chu Mochen died.
Thinking of this, Zang Linger couldn’t help knitting her brows.
Before entering her room, Zang Linger took one more look at Song Yunxuan’s bedroom door.
Zang Linger hoped that Song Yunxuan could successfully bring the baby into the world.
Though Chu Mochen had passed away, he left Song Yunxuan a child.
Song Yunxuan might regard this child as the anchor for the rest of her life.
After returning to her room, Song Yunxuan took a bath and then lay on her bed.
But there was no one else on the big bed except herself. When closing her eyes, the only person she thought of was herself.
Song Yunxuan reached out, but she couldn’t touch Chu Mochen.
She suddenly felt uncomfortable and lonely.
Song Yunxuan pulled herself upright on the bed, took off the ring on her finger, and put it on the bedside table.
She didn’t really like the engagement ring that Lu Feng put on her finger because she had no feelings for the marriage.
It was just a tool that Song Yunxuan and Lu Feng used to play-act.
When meeting outsiders, Song Yunxuan needed it to deceive the public.
But now Song Yunxuan was alone in her room, so she didn’t need to force herself to wear the ring.
Song Yunxuan pressed her lips and lowered her eyes.
Chu Mochen was still on her brain.
Though Song Yunxuan had been gaining ground with Lu Feng’s help and everything had been going in her favor in the fight against the Shao Family for the shares, she still didn’t cheer up.
From time to time, she felt an unutterable sense of loss in her heart.
And she was vexed.
Song Yunxuan closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Then she said gently as if she had been talking to Chu Mochen or herself, “It’s my fault. I am sorry.”
She should have kept their engagement after getting engaged to Chu Mochen.
But things developed too fast.
Song Yunxuan needed someone to help her because she was just one step away from achieving her goal.
But she could not get over it by herself, so she could only ask someone else to help her.
Although she used to be so stubborn that she didn’t want anyone to back her up, now things were different.
Song Yunxuan really needed such a person because she was afraid that time would efface her hatred and make all her efforts in vain.
She frowned and rubbed her brows.
Then she felt tired and snuggled down under the quilt, preparing to sleep.
Just as Song Yunxuan turned over and prepared to sleep, the mobile phone next to her vibrated.
Song Yunxuan had got sharp ears, so she reached out and took the phone.
She found it was just a meaningless SMS with few punctuation marks.
Song Yunxuan frowned, pondered for a moment, and deleted the SMS.
She thought there would be no more SMS to disturb her after deleting this one.
But suddenly, her phone was ringing.
Seeing the caller ID on her phone, Song Yunxuan frowned and remained unmoved for such a while.
Neither did she know the caller ID nor did she want to answer strange calls.
She would decide whether it was necessary for her to answer the call by judging how long the phone rang.
The caller at the other end didn’t want to give up. Seeing that Song Yunxuan didn’t want to pick up the phone immediately, the person kept calling. It seemed that the person wouldn’t stop until Song Yunxuan answered the phone.
As the phone had kept ringing for a while, Song Yunxuan reached out and answered the call.
After that, the caller at the other end didn’t immediately speak to Song Yunxuan.
The caller remained silent as if he or she had been waiting for Song Yunxuan to speak first.
As no one spoke at the other end, Song Yunxuan frowned and hung up the phone.
After that, Song Yunxuan fixed her eyes on the phone, wondering if the caller would call her again.
Just as Song Yunxuan expected, the caller called her again moments after she hung up the phone.
This time, Song Yunxuan answered the phone on the third ring, asking, “Who’s that?”
No one replied.
The person didn’t even reply to Song Yunxuan’s question.
Song Yunxuan got impatient, saying, “If you go on like this, I’ll hang up.”
Hearing that, the caller at the other end seemed to get worried, replying, “Please don’t. I just want to hear your voice.”
Song Yunxuan’s frown deepened when she heard that voice.
It was a woman’s voice, which she couldn’t recognize.
Song Yunxuan had never heard of this voice before, so she couldn’t tell who the woman was.
“Who is that?”
Song Yunxuan asked her.
The woman’s voice was delicate.
There was certain hesitancy in her voice, and it seemed that she didn’t know where to start. She said gingerly, “Miss Song, I…”
Song Yunxuan frowned. But instead of rushing her, she listened quietly.
Now her fight against Shao Tianze had been heating up. The strange woman’s call made her think of many things and possibilities.
After hesitating for a moment, the woman at the other end seemed to make up her mind, saying, “I was Childe Chu’s woman.”
Song Yunxuan’s frown deepened even more when she heard that, “What?”
The woman said in a low voice, “Childe Chu used to date me before he met you.”
A woman Chu Mochen dated before knowing her…
How come Chu Mochen had never told her that he had an ex-girlfriend?
“What do you want from me?”
Though Song Yunxuan had never heard Chu Mochen mentioned it before, she had better find out what the woman called her for.
Hearing Song Yunxuan’s question, the woman said, “Childe Chu and I have a child. Now the child is ill and Childe Chu has…”
Hearing the woman’s voice, Song Yunxuan couldn’t help gritting her teeth. What the woman said later didn’t register in Song Yunxuan’s brain.
All she was thinking about now was that Chu Mochen once had a kid with someone else.
Song Yunxuan sulked, clasping her phone harder.
As the woman did not get Song Yunxuan’s reply after finishing her words, she grew a bit impatient, asking, “Miss Song, could you help me with that?”
Song Yunxuan frowned, asking, “With what?”
The woman was a bit confounded when hearing Song Yunxuan’s question. Then she asked with a bit of disappointment, “So you didn’t hear what I said just now.”
Song Yunxuan replied, “What did you say?”
