Chapter 221: Each With Their Own Schemes
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The sudden thought was like a meteor streaking across the night sky.
Zheng Yue quickly grabbed onto it. Her thoughts seemed to have broken out of the soil. In a few moments, it grew into a towering tree that gradually took shape.
Although she was young now, her looks and figure were not outstanding enough. The only thing that attracted Nan Kang was her flower-like age.
She could only experience youth once, but Nan Kang had the ability to have countless of them.
“Children,” she murmured.
It would be the foundation of her stable relationship with Nan Kang. If she had a child, everything she had been worried about would be easily resolved.
Zheng Yue found the crux of the problem, but then she faced an even bigger problem.
Nan Kang’s caution was beyond imagination. Every time she took a pill, she had to be checked before he could be at ease. How could she pretend to take it?
Moreover, pregnancy was also a matter of probability. It was not something that could be conceived in one go.
Zheng Yue immediately felt that it’d be difficult, but when she thought that she could stabilize herself, she made up her mind.
“Qiaoqiao, I’ll be going with him to discuss a collaboration tomorrow. Can I borrow again…”
“There’s another banquet, Qiaoqiao, but I can’t afford it…”
“Qiaoqiao…”
In the following days, Murong Qiao would receive news from Zheng Yue every two to three days but it was nothing more than borrowing her clothes, cosmetics, or jewelry.
Zheng Yue’s transition from making up excuses to saying that she wanted to wear a certain set of clothes was extremely natural.
In order to see Nan Kang’s heart-wrenching expression, Murong Qiao was generous to Zheng Yue and lent her whatever she wanted.
Zheng Yue seemed to have broken out of her sh.e.l.l and started to transform. The transformation naturally could not escape Nan Kang’s eyes.
“You seem to like to dress up recently,” Nan Kang said casually.
His casual tone made Zheng Yue very relaxed, and she did not notice the probing in Nan Kang’s words.
Zheng Yue looked down at her outfit today and did not think much of it. “Perhaps a woman wants to put on makeup for her lover?”
She said a little mischievously. Looking at Nan Kang’s bright and lively eyes, she knew at a glance that he was in a good mood.
“You’re the only one who knows how to talk.” Nan Kang smiled.
After receiving Zheng Yue’s answer, he did not continue his topic. His gaze then shifted to the computer screen in front of him.
However, Nan Kang was not in the mood to look at the screen. He lowered his eyes to hide his deep thoughts and became suspicious of Zheng Yue.
He was the one who had given Zheng Yue all the money she had spent. Nan Kang knew how much money he had transferred, but Zheng Yue’s recent attire had far exceeded the standards.
All the clothes and accessories were limited edition or high-end. Even if Nan Kang didn’t know the exact value of these clothes, he could sense the problem with his businessman’s intuition.
Looking at the smile on Zheng Yue’s face and her good mood, Nan Kang did not want to think about where her change came from, but he had to imagine the most reasonable and most likely reason.
Nan Kang thought for a moment. “My second schedule in the afternoon has been canceled. Go and communicate with them.”
He sent Zheng Yue out and called his secretary to ask her to investigate Zheng Yue.
After all, he was no longer young. Nan Kang knew the difference between him and Zheng Yue. When he thought of her change, the first thing he thought of was whether Zheng Yue had gotten involved with someone else.
No man would accept being cuckolded.
Zheng Yue had no idea that Nan Kang was suspicious. She was still thinking about how to successfully get pregnant with his child.
If Murong Qiao could hear their thoughts at this moment, she probably wouldn’t be able to suppress the crazy smile on her face.
“Zheng Yue…” Murong Qiao said this name playfully.
She was really looking forward to what kind of surprise the other party would give her.
However, she still had work to do and could not leave. Murong Qiao had already treated the company as her second home.
“Why do 1 feel like you’re becoming more and more like Big Brother?” Xian Yu couldn’t help but complain when he occasionally took the time to call her.
Murong Qiao was the President of Shengjing Group, and his daily life was even worse than that of a social animal. He couldn’t wait to sleep 24 hours a day. Now, Murong Qiao’s time in the company was visibly longer, which made Xian Yu sometimes feel that Murong Qiao was about to become the second Murong Chen.
Murong Qiao replied, “I’m clearly just a little busy.”
When these words fell into Xian Yu’s ears, they automatically turned one point into a hundred million points.
In reality, Murong Qiao was not really that busy. After all, there was no one home. Hence she might as well stay in the company to acc.u.mulate experience and become a good boss.
Big Brother was busy with his company, and Murong Zheng stayed in the hospital all day long. He was so busy with his experiments that he forgot to eat and sleep and it was normal for him not to go home.
Murong Chuan also went to research during the winter break. Thus, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time. As for Fourth Brother, although he was at home, he stayed in his room all day. He was simply an ultimate otaku.
No matter how one thought about it, only Xian Yu could still call Murong Qiao.
Xian Yu’s call didn’t last long. After the filming of “Fearless” ended, there were still a lot of activities. He was so busy that his feet couldn’t touch the ground.
Murong Qiao glanced at her cell phone and realized that Huo Yichen had replied to her message.
“The winter break is almost over. We’ll be able to meet soon. I’ll bring you a gift when school starts.” There was only this message.
But even so, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but be excited. A smile appeared on her face as he guessed what gift it would be.
Thinking of this, it seemed like the long days were no longer unbearable.
Murong Qiao then stood up from her chair and walked to the French window beside her.She looked up at the blue sky on a cloudless day.
At the same time, Zheng Yue thought of a good method.
She went to the pharmacy to buy vitamin pills and poured them in her hand, comparing them with the contraceptive pills she usually took.
The vitamins were only slightly bigger than the contraceptive pills and they were all pure white in appearance. The only difference was that there was a horizontal line engraved on the contraceptive pills.
“It looks about the same.” She said as she compared the colors.
Since she couldn’t not eat in front of Nan Kang, she could only tamper with the pills.
Zheng Yue planned to grind down the size of the vitamin pills and take them instead of the contraceptive pills so that Nan Kang would not get suspicious.
Taking advantage of their strong relationship in the past two days, the opportunity was right in front of her. If she missed this chance, it would be even more impossible for her to get pregnant.
Zheng Yue fiddled with the pills, but she didn’t notice that Nan Kang, who was supposed to be back, wasn’t back yet.
Nan Kang was still sitting in his office, listening to his secretary’s report with a dark expression.
“Young Miss Zheng Yue has been receiving anonymous gift boxes at home these past few days. From the records, the clothes and jewelry she has been wearing these days should be from this place.” The secretary told him the situation honestly.
The clothes that Nan Kang bought for Zheng Yue were all recorded, so the secretary could easily tell which ones were not from him.
After hearing the secretary’s words, Nan Kang remained silent for a long time.
It was hard not to get the wrong idea about an anonymous gift.
Nan Kang was slightly angry. “Yes.”
It was impossible to tell what he was thinking from his calm voice, but based on the secretary’s understanding of Nan Kang, he immediately sensed his displeasure.
The secretary didn’t dare to speak, afraid that he would offend Nan Kang. Hence, he respectfully acknowledged and left.
Nan Kang didn’t plan to stay in the office. After sitting for a while, he got up and left the company before driving in the direction where Zheng Yue lived.
What he loved the most was Zheng Yue’s innocence and purity. However, ever since the two of them met, it seemed to be getting harder to see that in Zheng
Yue..
