Chapter 400 - 400 Willful Surrogate Mother.

He turned to the useless assistant and crossed his arms across his chest as he raised a brow and asked sternly, "Where is she? Ask my men about her whereabouts!"

Yan Luhan glanced at the deal horizon as he thought with remorse, 'I wanted to take her away with me and then go to her family. Initially, I had the plan to offer her father some business proposal in exchange for marrying her… Now… heh!'

Darkness shrouded his face as his black eyes narrowed into slits. Yan Luhan took a deep breath and waited for his assistant to give Ji Yanli's location. 

The newly appointed assistant shook a bit as he murmured, "They… they were discovered by the man who was beside Miss Ji. They were forced to retreat in the end..."

"Useless!" Yan Luhan sneered as he looked at the assistant. He was angry in the first place because the assistant was late to get him out of jail. 

If he had come sooner, Yan Luhan could have coaxed Ji Yanli and bailed her out. After all, Ji Yanli was sickened by the prison environment and he was sure she would have left with him if he had offered her a hand. 

His plan to play a good guy role in front of Ji Yanli was gone just like that and Yan Luhan loathed this new assistant of his for this reason. 

'How long do I need to wait for a responsible and sensible assistant to assist me?! This one is worse!' The man thought with a tired face. 

After thinking about all of these matters, Yan Luhan roared with a harsh voice while his eyes flared up, "You are fired!" 

The assistant was shocked, bewildered and frightened by Yan Luhan and asked timidly, with a slightly wronged tone on his voice, "But, but, what is my fault?!" 

"I don't need any reason to fire you! From now on, don't dare to contact me unless you get her to meet me!" After giving a piece of his mind, actually venting out all his pent up frustration on the new assistant, Yan Luhan entered a car and the driver drove it away instantly. 

All of Yan Luhan's bodyguards had bitter expressions as they witnessed this scene. They entered other cars and left as well. One of them went beside the assistant and patted his shoulder in sympathy before leaving. 

On the late-night, the young assistant stood beside the roadside as he was left behind, all alone. He saw the cars driving away with heated eyes. After a while, he snorted and cursed out. 

"Do you think I am your slave?! The thing you can't do, why are you telling me to do it?! Nobody will want to be your assistant if not for the salary. You are bad-tempered, evil, …"

While cursing, he paused halfway through as a thought crossed his mind. The assistant murmured in panic, "No… who will pay for my return plane ticket if he fires me now… Boss! I am wrong! Give me a chance!"

The assistant shouted as he ran towards the direction where Yan Luhan's car drove away. Halting on his step he looked around searching for cars in panic! Tears ran through his cheeks as he sprinted ahead… 

"God! Please help me! Send...someone!" The assistant yelled out loud while running along with the car driving past him with his head up in the sky. 

He was pitiful…too much!

"Stop!! Please stop the car! Let me in!" The assistant started spreading his arms wide and tried to stop a car for him to go away from the loneliness he was feeling in the road this late.

...

Luo Lixi banged on the steering wheel right after she entered the car. She fumed mad as she glared ahead. 

Pan Er Jiu crept into one corner of her seat and stayed quiet. She was puzzled by Luo Lixi's behaviour but was sharp enough not to ask about the woman again. 

When Luo Lixi felt her breath getting caught into her chest, she realised that the drug must be affecting her again. So, she tried to divert her mind from this matter and glanced ahead. 

"Er Jiu…" Luo Lixi whispered.

"Hmm?" Pan Er Jiu replied. 

"Do you know how to drive?" Luo Lixi turned to her. 

"Yes, Madam." She said and nodded. 

"Then you drive. I am not well…" Luo Lixi whispered with a frown. A part of her head was throbbing and making her uneasy. 

Pan Er Jiu hesitated, "Madam, this car is very expensive… I am afraid… What if something happens when I drive it? Why don't I ask the bodyguard of yours to drive instead?"

After all, even though the black car's appearance was of a normal one, the inferior was top notch. 'If something happens to it, even 7 lifetimes of mine aren't enough to pay off the debt!' Pan Er Jiu imagined.

"Don't worry. Just drive steadily and don't cross the speed limit... If something happens, I won't charge you." Luo Lixi chuckled as she understood the other woman's worries. 

Pan Er Jiu nodded as she got assurance, and so she exchanged seats with Luo Lixi and sat in the driver seat. Afterwards, buckling up the seatbelt and with her steady hands but a shaky mind, she began to drive slowly. 

Luo Lixi closed her mind and tried to calm down her emotions and jumping heart. She couldn't wipe the image of that woman, especially the part when she rubbed her belly with a shy smile. 

Just thinking that her man had spent nights with other women, she felt sick. 

'Just wait for me to go to Ming city. You will suffer for this, you damn Ruming!' Luo Lixi thought with a mad expression. 

When Pan Er Jiu saw this scene from the rearview mirror, she thought Luo Lixi was angry because her driving pace was the same as a bicycle. 

Thus, Pan Er Jiu steeled her heart and increased the speed. The anxious woman didn't notice that she had crossed the normal speed limit way too much. Neither Luo Lixi pointed it out when she glimpsed.

…

"Who was she actually?!" The surrogate mother pondered with a frown. She couldn't concentrate on her reading anymore as her mind was troubled. 

"Madam, sir has sent your favourite fruits again." A maid came and placed a fruit platter beside her but she didn't care about this. 

"Every day all you say is eat and eat! What will I even do by eating all day long?! Just let me have a phone! I am bored…" The woman lifted her hand and threw the book on the ground as she shouted.

"Sorry, madam. But sir has forbidden us. The phone and computer have radiation which is bad for you and your baby… Sir really loves you..." The maid said with a hint of jealousy.

'Argh! My life! My virginity is gone! Social life is gone! If only I wasn't drowning in debt…' The woman gritted her teeth and thought with a frown. 

The maid panicked when she saw her frowning and crouched down, "Madam, are you alright? Should I call the doctor?" 

"No need. Just… massage my legs. It's hurting." After saying she didn't wait for the maid to move and lifted her legs in front of the other person. 

The maid was relieved when she heard it. Rather than this woman in front of hers, she was more worried for the baby. 

When Xiao Huang recruited all the maids and caretakers, he warned them again and again, as far as making them sign a contract. They were told they could spoil the woman until she asked something which was bad for her mental and physical health.

Anyone would know with a little bit of thinking, the baby was the real master they should serve. 

The pay was triple of the normal market value and was only for until the baby was born. 

All the people working in the mansion thought that the surrogate was the wife of a rich man. Also, the pay was too high for them to not sign the agreement. And thus, they endured all the tantrums and ranting of the woman and worked hard every day to satisfy her. 

On the other hand, the surrogate mother didn't want others to know about this matter and thus she lied. Her thought was, as soon as she gave birth to the baby, she would leave and nobody would know about her matters.

That's why she took advantage of the current situation and became willful. Living in a big mansion, many maids to care for her and getting anything she wanted… all of her wishes came true in the past few days. 

"This life… Not bad!" While thinking, she threw a cherry in her mouth and grinned smugly. With a frown, she turned to the maid and softly said, "Work hard. I can't feel your hands at all… Also, did you give the list of handbags I wanted to buy to the guard?"

"Yes, madam. He said you'll get them tonight." The maid replied respectfully.

With a huge smile, she returned her sight to the book on the ground and motioned to another maid to pick it for her. The careful maid wiped the dust off it and then handed it to her.

Even though she didn't like reading, she could only do this besides watching TV to pass off the boredom. With the comfort and luxury, many restrictions came as well.
