How long had she slept for? It seemed it was already evening.
Lin Shiyu looked at the man beside her. He was grasping her hand tightly even in his sleep and he transferred his body warmth to her cold skin. His thick eyelashes drooped down and he looked slightly tired.
She gently raised her hand and caressed his tightly knitted brows.
Why were his brows knitted even in his sleep?
Was he having a nightmare? His brows were so tightly knitted.
She caressed his brows tenderly to relieve his tension.
But Fu Qinglun woke up the moment she moved. “Shi’shi, you’re awake. Do you feel any pain?”
He looked at her anxiously.
Lin Shiyu sat up in bed and shook her head. “No, wasn’t it just a simple egg retrieval procedure? Why would I feel any pain?”
Fu Qinglun froze but his eyes did not reveal any emotion. He gradually curved his lips and smiled, “Hm, the procedure was very successful. Within these few days, Sikong will fertilize the egg and our son will be in that surrogate mother’s womb. From now onwards, I won’t have any contact with that surrogate mother, until our son is born.”
Lin Shiyu lifted the blanket and got down the bed. She glanced at him with her pretty eyes. “Young Master Fu, your thinking has become more advanced.”
“I’m afraid you would get jealous.”
Lin Shiyu got up as she wanted to see Little Lemon, but the moment her feet touched the floor, her entire body went weak and she slid onto the floor.
“Shi’shi!” Fu Qinglun promptly held her waist and supported her.
Lin Shiyu’s face was harshly white and there was a film of cold perspiration on her forehead. She could not tell which part of her body was hurting, and all she knew was that she felt very weak and feeble.
What was happening to her?
“Fu Qinglun, was the egg retrieval procedure really successful? You didn’t lie to me, did you?” She felt that something was amiss.
Fu Qinglun’s countenance was calm. “It was successful. You’ll know it’s true when our son is born.”
Lin Shiyu arched her willowy brows. “What if the child is the son of you and another woman? Sikong is on your side anyway, so it’ll be very easy for both of you to cheat me into raising your son for you.”
Fu Qinglun’s heart throbbed with pain. It was as if a long needle had pierced his heart and the pain was unspeakable.
As always, she was intelligent and astute. She could easily guess even with the slightest cues. But at the moment, she did not raise any suspicion.
She believed him.
Shi’shi, I’m sorry.
He did not have a choice.
He wanted to be frank to her. But upon knowing the truth, she would definitely risk her life to give birth to another child for Little Lemon’s sake.
If something happened to her, what would he do?
This son would be his secret forever. This child would be his and her son and nobody would ever know.
Fu Qinglun carried her in her arms, and forcefully kissed her icy-cold forehead. “If I cheat you in raising my son for me, what would you do?”
Lin Shiyu hugged her muscular torso and smiled. “Then… you’ll never ever see me again.”
Fu Qinglun frowned deeply and laughed hoarsely, “My dearest wife, spare my life! I won’t dare to do it.”
My dearest wife…
Upon hearing these words, Lin Shiyu pushed Fu Qinglun away. “Who’s your dearest wife? Stop spouting rubbish!”
With that, she walked out.
Looking at her pretty retreating back, Fu Qinglun’s handsome features became tender. Shi’shi, I’ll never let you go!”
Never, for the rest of this life and the next!
I want you to marry me.
…
Little Lemon was discharged from hospital and brought back home. As Little Lemon’s third birthday was approaching and she was the little princess of the Guding Castle, Fu Qinglun had organized a huge birthday party for her. This was also the first time that Fu Qinglun was revealing to the outside world that Little Lemon was his daughter.
Lin Shiyu nodded to express her consent. Little Lemon was Fu Qinglun’s daughter and this was the status that she deserved.
There would not be anyone in the future who would criticize Little Lemon as being fatherless. Fu Qinglun would always be present in her life.
Fu Qinglun took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
The melodious ringtone of the cell phone rang once, before the other party picked up the phone. Gu Mohan’s deep and charismatic voice could be heard over the phone. “Hello.”
“Come to my place tonight for Little Lemon’s birthday party.”
“Sure. I will definitely attend my daughter-in-law’s birthday party.”
Fu Qinglun snorted coldly. “You’re the only person whom I will personally call to invite.”
“Hm, if others invite me, I’m definitely not free.”
“…”
Fu Qinglun curved his thin lips. “I’ve already sent Xiao Zhu over to you.”
What?
At this moment, Gu Mohan was in the bathroom of the Presidential Suite at a luxurious six-star hotel. He was holding his cell phone with one hand, and tugging off his black leather belt with the other hand. He was just about to take a shower.
Upon hearing such news, he promptly frowned. “Fu Qinglun, I found Xiao Zhu for you. How could you push her back to me?”
“I appreciate your good intentions but Sikong has already found a new surrogate mother for me, and so you can keep Xiao Zhu for yourself.”
Duut duut. Fu Qinglun hung up the phone immediately.
“…”
Gu Mohan put his cell phone away with a grim face. At this moment, he heard a sound. Someone had entered his room.
Who was it?
He opened the bathroom door and walked out.
There was a pretty figure standing in the room. It was Xiao Zhu.
The moment Xiao Zhu saw Gu Mohan, her heart thumped wildly. This man wielded control over the whole of Capital. He was the epitome of handsomeness, wealth and power and he had a clean private life. A pretty and young university student like Xiao Zhu was deeply mesmerized and attracted to such an elite in the commercial sector.
Xiao Zhu’s motive was to get close to Gu Mohan, and not to be a surrogate mother. All these years, there had not been any women near Gu Mohan. He simply would not give women the chance to get close to him.
“President Gu,” Xiao Zhu called out gently.
Gu Mohan’s expression remained the same, but his deep eyes glinted in displeasure. “Who let you in? Get out!”
Those few words were uttered ruthlessly and coldly.
Xiao Zhu was frightened and her pretty face swiftly revealed a pitiful and innocent expression. “President Gu, I don’t have ill intentions. I only wanted to inform you that Young Master Fu doesn’t need me anymore.”
“You can go and look for my secretary for any other matters. You will be given your remuneration in due time.”
Xiao Zhu looked at the man’s frosty countenance. She had heard that he was rather a generous person, especially towards women.
“President Gu, I don’t need any remuneration. I’m already in my fourth year and I’ve started my internship. I’ve heard that you are hiring a personal assistant and I want to give it a try.”
Personal assistant?
Gu Mohan pursed his lips and he did not reply.
Xiao Zhu walked ahead and stopped at the sofa. Just now, Gu Mohan had removed his black suit and tie and thrown his clothing onto the sofa. She bent down and picked up the coat and tie in her arms.
