âWhat do you want us to do, Ms. Song? Should we... dispose of her?â The person on the other end dropped his voice to a whisper.
âDonât go acting blindly and causing any deaths.â She furrowed her brows in headache. âWait for my instructions, while I think of a way to deal with that child in her stomach.â
âRoger. Weâll wait for further instructions.â
She had just hung up the call when she jolted in shock upon hearing a knock at the door out of nowhere. âWho is it?â
âItâs me, Enya.â
Realizing that it was just her mother, her heart calmed down and she went to open the door for her.
The middle-aged woman entered the room to find it dark and unlit, which got her nagging. âWhy didnât you even turn on the lights?â
She flipped the switches and frowned when she noticed her daughter wearing a troubled look on her face. âWhatâs wrong?â
âI donât know whether I should discuss this matter with you or not.â
The older womanâs countenance turned grave upon hearing that. She proceeded to help her daughter to bed, sat down, and said in all seriousness, âThat explains your troubled look. Tell me about it so that I can give you some advice.â
âSome time ago, I found out that Mu Yancheng has a secret lover. They still seem to be involved with each other even now.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
At that, she said dismissively, âHeâs a Casanova at the prime of his youth, after all; itâs only natural that heâll have plenty of women around him. I even heard that heâs a huge player, so this shouldnât be a big deal, should it?â
âThat woman is different, though.â
âOh?â Her expression turned serious once more. âHow so?â
âI can sense that he treats Meng Qingxue very differently. Of course, after I bumped into her that one time and goaded her into leaving, sheâs no longer in the capital. I only found out afterward that sheâs expecting a child! Sheâs fled to a remote city in hopes of secretly giving birth to that child, while Mu Yancheng is still relentlessly looking for her whereabouts! I canât tell whether my position will be shaken should she be found or not!â
âSheâs also pregnant?â She pressed. âHow long has she been pregnant?â
âSheâs at the start of her second trimester.â
âThatâs fast. It means that sheâs into her fourth month of pregnancy.â
âMom... what if that woman successfully delivers her baby? My instincts are telling me that his feelings for her are genuine; I know that heâs had plenty of women around him, but Iâve never known their names, save for hers. He just couldnât forget about her. I have this feeling that that woman will pose a great threat to me.â
âThis is no laughing matter. Are you sure about it?â
âOf course, I am! I sent someone to check on her and have gotten her exact location,â answered Song Enya with conviction.
âYou know where sheâs at?â
âYes.â
Her mother anxiously asked, âThen... what about him? Isnât he also tracking her down?â
âIâm unsure about that, but I donât think that he knows it! The Musâ influence is no longer as before! Plus, heâs only just assumed his CEO position; itâll take some time for him to solidify his power.â
