Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 592: Is It Okay for Me to Have Children with Someone Else?
Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Is It Okay for Me to Have Children with Someone Else?
Zhong Yi lowered his gaze, clearly displeased: "How we address someone is our freedom, President Huo is being overly concerned. I have things to attend to at the company, please excuse me."
If he continued talking with Huo Xingzhou, he might just drop dead right then and there.
His steps were particularly large, almost causing Lu Yingxue to stumble down the stairs.
She staggered and fell to the ground.
Her knees scraped and broke the skin.
Lu Yingxue let out a cry of surprise, and Zhong Yi halted his steps. Finally, with some patience, he extended his hand and Lu Yingxue took it to get up.
"The two of you indeed share a deep affection."
Huo Xingzhou said this lightly.
Zhong Yi gritted his teeth: "Let’s go."
He pulled Lu Yingxue straight down the steps and got into the car.
With a bang, he closed the car door, shutting out all the noise outside. He turned his head and glanced outside the window, seeing Huo Xingzhou still standing there with a smile that was not quite a smile, as if he knew that Zhong Yi would look over.
"Wan Jiang, drive!"
Zhong Yi’s tone was particularly harsh.
Wan Jiang didn’t dare to delay, he stepped on the gas and drove off, quickly leaving the troublesome place behind.
Lu Yingxue observed his expression and couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. She knew well that Zhong Yi must have seen an old rival, and the person he liked most had chosen an engagement dress for her, so he must be in a terrible mood.
She deliberately asked: "Ayi, what’s wrong? I feel like you’re especially unhappy today, did I upset you?"
"No."
"Ayi, we’re going to get engaged very soon. You can tell me anything, don’t bottle it up inside."
"Hmm."
Zhong Yi slowly said, "Work is troubling me, you don’t have to worry."
In front of Lu Yingxue, he still needed to maintain some decorum and couldn’t always wear a cold face.
"Then... I know this hot spring resort is particularly nice, why don’t we go relax there for a few days beforehand? The old master has been urging us, and the new year deadline is really tight."
Her words were full of insinuation.
Suddenly, Zhong Yi turned his head and looked at her deeply, asking: "If I lose my position as the heir, will you still marry me?"
Lu Yingxue was thrown off by his abrupt question, and laughed while replying: "Why would you say that? I love you for who you are."
"What if I get someone else pregnant, but still retain my position as the heir. Would you leave me then?"
Both questions were lethal.
Lu Yingxue clenched her hand and said: "Ayi, if you find someone else, I will be heartbroken. But I would also reflect on where I might have fallen short. For a marriage alliance between families, the elders would certainly value other things. What I value is you as a person."
Her words were seamless, leaving no room for fault.
Truly the considerate and thorough Lu Yingxue!
Zhong Yi chuckled with an inexplicable emotion: "Don’t forget what you’ve just said."
He settled back and took out his phone to browse the news.
Lu Yingxue’s heart was in turmoil, pondering the meaning behind Zhong Yi’s words.
Would he rather go out and impregnate another woman than have a child with her? If another woman bore him a child, she, Lu Yingxue, would become the laughingstock of the entire Imperial Capital!
Absolutely not!
From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Zhong Yi, thinking it might be time to use certain measures.
Lu Yingxue made up her mind in secret and changed the subject.
"Ayi, Mingzhu recently..."
"Is she sick again? Don’t bother me with her affairs, I have nothing to do with her."
"No, it’s not that. Mingzhu has been in a very bad state lately. With the Xiang Family’s downfall, my aunt’s family is truly finished. She is my cousin after all, and I really hope that she can attend our engagement party, and my father thinks so too."
"You handle your own relatives."
A dark shade flickered in Zhong Yi’s eyes, having Xiang Mingzhu at the engagement party wouldn’t be a bad idea.
This chess move, let’s see who makes it and how they play it.
...
Evening.
The sky gradually darkened, and as the end of the year approached, the days grew shorter.
By six or seven in the evening, it was already getting dusky.
The nightlife in the Imperial Capital was rich and varied.
In a mid to high-end bar. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Xiang Mingzhu was dressed to kill, her makeup heavy, wearing a tight-fitting short skirt. She danced in the pool, the exposed stretch of her waist drawing particular attention.
Quite a few people had already tried to chat her up, but she had cursed them all away.
Those people, knowing she was Lu Bannong’s niece and seeming down on her luck, didn’t dare to entangle her further.
The Lu Family was prominent in the Imperial Capital.
Xiang Mingzhu was drunk, living a dreamlike life amidst the numbness of alcohol.
Having seen such a stunning beauty as Zhong Yi and enjoyed his tenderness and closeness, who else could she see in her eyes!
It was all a dream!
She was still immersed in the background of her family’s past glory, longing for a life of extravagant spending. The millions left to her by Xiang Tao were nothing but a drop in the bucket, making her pain all the more acute when sober.
She was also attached to Zhong Yi.
The man was getting engaged, and the invitation had already been sent to her home.
It was her beloved cousin who had personally delivered it.
That bitch Lu Yingxue was taking revenge for what she did at the trial embroidery meeting.
Xiang Mingzhu, tired from dancing, returned to the booth and continued to drink.
As she drank, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
She was not having a good time, nor would she let Lu Yingxue have one. Since she was invited to the engagement party, she would go dressed in dazzling splendor.
Xiang Mingzhu finished a whole glass of whiskey, her intoxication gradually deepening.
"Bring another bottle."
"Right away, Miss Xiang."
The bartender was used to seeing her like this, it having become a nightly occurrence.
But there were eyes from the Lu Family in the venue, and no one dared to harass the drunken Xiang Mingzhu too much.
But today.
"President Zhao, nice to see you." The bartender greeted respectfully, preparing drinks and glasses for the newly arrived Zhao Chang.
Zhao Chang waved his hand and sat next to Xiang Mingzhu, looking at her with drunken eyes and revealing a trace of a smile: "Miss Xiang, we meet again. It seems our fates are indeed not shallow."
Xiang Mingzhu slowly turned her head to look at Zhao Chang’s chubby, unremarkable face, her tone extremely unfriendly: "Scram."
She poured herself another glass of wine.
Zhao Chang grabbed the bottle and said, "What’s the fun in drinking alone? Let me keep you company."
"What are you good for! Even if I’m down on my luck, I wouldn’t fancy a toad like you." Xiang Mingzhu snatched the bottle back, her beautiful face full of ferocity, "Get lost, don’t get in the way of my drinking."
Zhao Chang’s smile faded slightly, "Is this showing disrespect towards the wine or choosing punishment by drinking?"
"None of your business."
Xiang Mingzhu, holding the bottle, stood up preparing to move to another spot.
But Zhao Chang directly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
Xiang Mingzhu fell into his arms, struggling fiercely: "Let me go! You fatso! My uncle is Lu Bannong, and although the Xiang Family has fallen, he won’t ignore me! My mother is his own sister!"
"Security! Someone help!"
Xiang Mingzhu wasn’t stupid; she knew this bar had people from the Lu Family, which is why she dared to drink so recklessly here.
Because she knew no one would do anything excessive to her.
But this fatso was audacious!
Zhao Chang’s hand wandered over her smooth waist, firmly imprisoning Xiang Mingzhu.
"Miss Xiang, either keep me company for a drink, or continue to let me, the toad, take advantage of you. It’s your choice."
