Chi Shuyan originally wanted to tease this man that he had to abstain after she got pregnant, though she didn’t mind. However, he had been tormenting her every day for the past few days. When the time came, he couldn’t blame her if she couldn’t take it anymore.
When she heard him say that he didn’t do enough and would work hard every day, the corners of her mouth twitched. She felt that if this man worked any harder, she would definitely be tortured to death in bed. She swallowed her saliva and hurriedly said, “I just started school, so you don’t have to work hard. We’ll talk about the child later!”
On the other side, in the hospital, Zhou Manqing, who had woken up and read all sorts of lewd reports, was so angry that her head spun. She hadn’t just failed to pin Xie Mingxuan down on a bed; she had tried to steal a chicken, only to end up losing the rice. She was so angry she almost fainted again.
When she woke up early that morning and looked at the reports, she had smashed things with a face full of fury, scaring Xiao Gao badly. It was only when Yu Rong appeared that Zhou Manning stopped.
Yu Rong had asked Xiao Gao about what happened last night. When she found out about “Manqing” drugging Xie Mingxuan, Yu Rong almost fainted from anger.
What was she trying to do? Destroy her future?
Over the past few days, Yu Rong had become increasingly puzzled by “Manqing.” Others might believe that “Manqing” had suddenly fallen in love with Xie Mingxuan, but Yu Rong didn’t. She had been by “Manqing’s” side during this time and knew that the woman was only interested in a dalliance with Xie Mingxuan at most. Even if she was for real, she looked down on Xie Mingxuan’s current identity.
For some reason, Yu Rong felt that the change in “Manqing” in the past few days was related to those two Celestial Masters. “Manqing” was bent on changing her luck. Unless… An absurd and terrifying thought flashed through Yu Rong’s mind, but she immediately rejected it. No, that was impossible. “Manqing” wouldn’t do such a thing.
Seeing that “Manqing” had calmed down, Yu Rong said coldly, “Manqing, do you know what you’ve done? If what happened last night is exposed, you…”
Without waiting for Yu Rong to finish speaking, Zhou Manning said indifferently, “Sister Yu, there’s no need to interfere with my relationships. It’s my own personal matter who I like and who I want to be with. I won’t hide it from you. I do like Xie Mingxuan, so much so that I want to marry him!”
Yu Rong was dumbstruck. If “Manqing” hadn’t been so calm, she would have suspected that she was possessed, or there was something else at work.
Yu Rong still wanted to speak, but Zhou Manqing interrupted her impatiently.
Speaking of which, ever since “Manqing” won the Best Actress Award, her attitude toward Yu Rong was drastically different from her previous “fawning” attitude. Yu Rong hadn’t thought much of it before, but now that she saw the impatience in “Zhou Manqing’s” eyes, Yu Rong’s heart chilled.
In the past, she was very glad that the artist under her was “Manqing” and not another ingrate. Now, she was watching “Manqing” gradually develop into an ingrate.
No, it should be said that she had long seen through “Zhou Manqing’s” character, from the way she burned her bridges with that Celestial Master Chi; it was just that the woman in front of her was better at pretending than anyone else. No, she wasn’t Manqing! Yu Rong looked at the woman in front of her with a very unfamiliar gaze, her eyes filled with vigilance and suspicion as she probed, “You’re not Manqing?”
Zhou Manning’s face stiffened. She lowered her head to hide the murderous intent and venom in the depths of her eyes, and forced a smile. “Sister Yu, if I’m not Manqing, who am I? I know you’ve worked hard for me all these years, but I really like Mingxuan. I really hope that I’ll get nothing but Sister Yu’s blessing. We’ve been together for so many years, and I’ve long treated you as my own sister!”
