Chapter 430 Her Duty

Maybe it was because Zhang Xiaoling had already planned herself well, that must the reason she was so confident while getting ready to play some tricks.

Zhang Xiaoling's first stop while on her mission, was her mother's room.

Since the servants already know she was going in there to drop a gift, never would they have even the slightest percent chance to think that something else was going on behind those close doors.

Normally, there was nothing bad with a daughter going into her mother's room when she wasn't around, but for Shi Wenqian's case, things were different.

The woman hated anyone coming into he bedroom hence, it was only secretary Cha that can go in there to clean it if she wasn't around.

She was the only one trusted since she was her underling.

With Zhang Xiaoling and Zhang Mingyu having had a fair share of scolding since they were young concerning wandering into their mother's room when she wasn't around, they were wise to stay off that path.

Aware of what her mother was like, Zhang Xiaoling pretended like everything was fine and found her way into her bedroom.

Going to the centre of the room, she dropped the three bags on the rug and quickly turned to go into the washroom with a pair of new flip-flops.

Thankfully, she had changed out of her pair of heels before going into the room.

Going into the bathroom, her eyes quickly glanced at the wall where her toothbrush was being held in a toothbrush holder.

As soon as she set her eyes on it, the corners of her lips curled into a smile and without wasting time, she dipped her hand inside her handbag to bring out 3 different types of toothbrushes.

Taking one of them, which was a carbon-copy of the one on the wall, she put the rest into her bag.

"Thankfully, she is still using the same type."

Happy that there was no mistakes, she quickly went ahead to remove the new toothbrush from the pack and exchanged it with the one on the wall.

Taking out a medium plastic bag from her bag, she wrapped the toothbrush in it before quickly stepping out.

Going back into the room, she looked around. Although she was tempted to search for a few places to see if she would find anything incriminating, she refrained from it.

She was not going to let her curiousity endanger her mission.

Also, her mother might return any time soon and if she arrives before she is done with her job, then she would find it difficult to complete her task.

Let's not forget Zhang Renshu who might come back at anytime.

Which other opportunity would she have to do infiltrate their privacy without them watching?

Immediately, Zhang Xiaoling checked the bags on floor to be sure of the phone she had gotten for her mother before taking the remaining two to leave.

Zhang Xiaoling's next stop was Zhang Renshu's bedroom and thankfully, it was opened.

Walking in, she repeated the same process as she had done in her mother's room before quickly stepping out.

Again, she was lucky that her stepfather still used the same kind of toothbrush as in the past.

'Finally, there is one more stop.' She mumbled to herself before making her way up the stairs where her bedroom was also located.

That place, she could finally finish her next mission without fear.

For her, it was very easy to take care of Zhang Mingyu because that idiot was not guilty of anything she mighty do, and that will prick his conscious.

Arriving in front of Zhang Mingyu's door, she knocked once before stepping into his bedroom.

Finding it empty, she was about to call out to him when she heard the sound of shower going off in the washroom.

"Wrong timing." She muttered under her breath before turning to leave for her own room.

Finishing from work, Mikayla went straight to her self-con apartment instead of going to the hospital to do the test Zhang Mingyu orders her to.

For some reason, she didn't feel like doing anything he suggested get. But instead of going to the hospital to get an official test done, she bought pregnancy test kits from the store on her way home from work.

Knowing that the results might be inaccurate, she bought from three different brands.

Although she knew she was truly pregnant after a proper calculation plus the notes she took online with her present symptoms, she was still a little nervous to see the result come to her live without any other chance to turn a blind eye to him.

Having no appetite to eat, she went straight to the bathroom with the three packs of pregnancy test kits after putting her back down on the floor.

Seven minutes later after using them, she finally saw the results bolding inscripted on their screen.

She was pregnant.

Sighing to herself, she threw everything inside her waste basket before taking off her clothes to have a shower to remove the stress of the day from her body.

Stepping into her room, she went to her bag to pick up her phone before going to lie on the bed.

Again, she saw Zhang Mingyu's test.

'You are not saying anything. Have you taken the test yet? When will the results be out?'

Reading every word, Mikayla sighed.

"Zhang Mingyu, don't think you can dump me so easily. As for this child, I'm keeping it."

Giving that promise, she turned off her phone just in case he would go crazy from her not replying him, and start to call her again.

Rising from her bed, she went into her kitchen to find something to eat as she had suddenly regained her lost appetite.

Maybe she was too excited to know that she could deal with Zhang Mingyu using her pregnancy, after calming down a bit and making up her mind.

It was her duty to protect a child she wanted to keep even though she had a different reason altogether.

Before falling asleep, Mikayla made sure to fill her stomach to her satisfaction, without caring about watching her weight.

Coming out from the bathroom, Zhang Mingyu glanced around his room with a slight frown on his face.

"I thought someone was here."

Seeing that there was no one in his bedroom, he went back into the inner room to look for some clothes to wear.

Some minutes later, a servant came to call him to come down for dinner.

"Has my mother come back?" He inquired.

"Yes, she came in a few minutes ago." The servant replied before leaving his bedroom.

Going over to the room next to his, she knocked and only walked in after receiving a response of approval.

Giving the same notification to Zhang Xiaoling, she bowed slightly.

"I will be down in a bit." Zhang Xiaoling replied while dressed in her bathrobe.

Seeing what she was dressed in, the servant understood and turned to leave.

As soon as she left, Zhang Xiaoling walked to her small closet to pick a set of her old clothes to put on. Coming into her room, she picked up the remaining gift bag, then dipping her hand into her handbag, she brought out the only toothbrush there.

Making up he remind to go into Zhang Mingyu's bedroom since he must have finished worshipping up ages ago, she left her room for hi, just in time to meet him leaving.

"Are you going down for dinner?" She asked.

"Yes." Zhang Mingyu replied as his gaze moved from her face to the bag in her hand. "By any chance, did you buy something for me?" He asked as his gaze shifted back to her face.

Seeing the excitement on his face, Zhang Xiaoling nodded while managing a smile.

"Really? Let me..."

Just as he was going to snatch the bag from her, she quickly put it behind her.

"Go down for dinner, I put the bag in your room. When you are done eating, you can see it all you want." She insisted.

Watching the adult male whom she had taken as her brother since his birth get happy because he got something for him, Zhang Xiaoling had mixed feelings.

Somehow, she was beginning to think of quitting this role she took out of nowhere. Even if Zhang Mingyu was not her brother, maybe it will be better off if she didn't know the truth.

But on a second thought, she had a duty because of her current marital state.

There was someone that cared about her wholeheartedly at last, and she wouldn't want anything to ruin what she had in the long run.

Making that decision in her head, she watched Zhang Mingyu leave before stepping into his bedroom.

Without wasting time, she put the bag on the desk in his room and quickly went into his bathroom with the toothbrush she brought with her.

Five minutes later, Zhang Xiaoling walked down the stairs and went straight to the dining room to join her mother and brother for dinner.
