After Ling Tianya finished washing her face and brushing her teeth, she was carried back to the bed by Ruan Zeyan. The servant had already brought up breakfast.
Ruan Zeyan handed the warm milk to Ling Tianya. Just then, Ling Tianya’s phone rang.
“I’ll take the call.”
Ruan Zeyan’s eyebrows were knitted together as he watched Ling Tianya take out her phone. He could clearly see that the caller ID had flashed with the words Cheng Chen.
He didn’t have a good impression of the man and felt that he treated Ling Tianya differently to the way he treated other people. Ling Tianya understood her relationship with Cheng Chen as a good friend and partner. However, Ruan Zeyan’s perspective as a man meant that he did not see it that way.
After placing the milk in front of Ling Tianya, Ruan Zeyan reached out to hold her small hand and quietly listened without saying anything nor eating.
Ling Tianya knew that her husband felt a sense of enmity toward Cheng Chen and impatiently blinked at him. She quickly answered Cheng Chen’s call.
“Young Lass, why did you take so long to answer the call?” Cheng Chen’s languid voice sounded down the line.
Ling Tianya smiled. “It’s not your style to wake up so early.”
On the phone, Ling Tianya could hear the sound of Cheng Chen stretching. In a hoarse voice, he said, “After all, I’m over forty years old. Now that I’ve gotten older, I need to live a disciplined lifestyle, or else that thing wouldn’t be as active.”
Ling Tianya was speechless.
After his joke, Cheng Chen returned to the topic. “Are you giving birth soon?”
“En.”
“Then let’s first agree that I must be the child’s godfather.”
Ling Tianya spluttered with laughter. “You can’t be the godfather. Gu Zhiqian has already taken that position. However, considering your age, you could be the maternal god-grandfather.”
Cheng Chen, God-Grandfather…
Cheng Chen had told Ling Tianya that if his first love hadn’t gotten an abortion, the child would be around Ling Tianya’s age.
However, God-Grandfather didn’t have a ring to it. Plus, was he really that old?
“Your mention of Gu Zhiqian made me remember something. Recently, he asked the company for a six-month vacation. All of the projects that we have accepted for him have to be canceled and although he was the one who paid the costs, it has caused a lot of damage to the company.”
LingTianya furrowed her eyebrows and ended the call with Cheng Chen.
Ruan Zeyan looked at Ling Tianya, “What did he say to you? He wants to be my child’s godfather?”
“Don’t even think about it!” Ruan Zeyan thought.
Ling Tianya shook her head. “Not the godfather, but the god grandfather.”
Ruan Zeyan got up and walked over and gently bit Ling Tianya’s lip. “Anyways, he can’t be god anything.”
Ling Tianya nodded. “Okay. I understand.” Remembering what Cheng Chen had said about Gu Zhiqian, Ling Tianya asked, “You and Gu Zhiqian are familiar with each other. Do you know if anything happened to him recently? Cheng Chen said that he asked for a six-month vacation and has caused a lot of damage to the company.”
Ruan Zeyan calmly ate his breakfast. “Recently the old man of the Gu Family was admitted to hospital. Gu Zhiqian is one of the heirs. Right now, he doesn’t have the heart to think of anything else.”
Hearing Ruan Zeyan’s words, Ling Tianya didn’t say anything. So, it was another big show with wealthy people. Gu Zhiqian halted all of his work in the entertainment industry to return to the Gu Family to fight over the inheritance.
Now, it was noon and after lunch, Ruan Zeyan went to the study to take care of an intractable affair. Recently, Ruan Zeyan and Du Gang always seemed to be working on this matter. Ling Tianya had once overheard their conversation and it seemed to be related to a terrorist organization.
However, it seemed that Ruan Zeyan didn’t want her to know about the matter. Every time he saw her, he would immediately either change the subject and stop Du Gang from giving his report.
