Hou Yi refused, asking why she would want to get rid of the child. Was her husband treating her poorly? He couldn’t promise her marriage; he wasn’t going to marry her.
Lan Qingqing wanted to ask why, if he didn’t want to marry, he was willing to pay a hefty ransom to buy Tong Le’s freedom. It seemed contradictory.
She found it hard to believe that Hou Yi had genuine feelings for Tong Le. What was so special about Tong Le that so many men desired her? Or was it simply because Tong Le was married? Did that make her more enticing?
Lan Qingqing said, “Then I won’t marry either. I quite enjoy the feeling of being in a relationship with you.”
Hou Yi chuckled casually. “It’s not good for your body to terminate a pregnancy, especially after going through all that trouble to conceive. If you can’t afford to raise the child, I can give you money.”
Lan Qingqing was surprised. “You really don’t mind this child? You won’t just abandon me after I have it?”
She felt conflicted. “I really don’t want to keep this child; I’m afraid it will hold me back.”
Still, she didn’t understand why he was advising her not to terminate the pregnancy. “I just can’t figure it out.”
Hou Yi replied nonchalantly, “Because killing is wrong; I believe in Buddhism.”
He stood up to pay the bill.
Lan Qingqing truly couldn’t grasp his reasoning. Was there really a man in this world who liked raising someone else’s child? Tong Le was also pregnant and had caught Hou Yi’s attention, so did that mean Hou Yi preferred women who were expecting? What a peculiar taste!
At six in the evening, Hou Yi returned alone to his company.
He had barely entered his office when Sun Hu rushed in, looking flustered.
Hou Yi glanced at Sun Hu impatiently and asked, “What’s got you all worked up?”
Sun Hu replied nervously, “Boss, what did you send those four guys from Hu Bin to do this afternoon? They came back looking like they’d seen a ghost! Did you make them fight?”
Hou Yi turned around, confused. “What are you talking about? What happened to those four?”
Sun Hu led Hou Yi to the break room. As soon as they entered, an awful stench hit them—not just sweat, but an indescribable odor reminiscent of a sewer.
The four burly bodyguards he had sent to Wu Youyou were sprawled on the couches, red-faced and drenched in sweat, their eyes nearly glazed over as if they were about to faint from exhaustion—like they had just run a marathon!
Hou Yi approached them in disbelief. “What did Wu Youyou make you do?”
One of the relatively coherent ones spoke up through tears, “Boss! That girl made us shovel manure! She said the underground water system was down and we couldn’t wait for city workers to fix it; we had to do it ourselves! She also said we had to obey unconditionally because you sent us to her! We can handle fighting and doing work, but who has ever shoveled manure?”
As he spoke, all four of them gagged and prepared to vomit.
Hou Yi quickly stepped back two paces as he finally understood where that strange smell was coming from!
Hou Yi felt a surge of frustration, realizing he had underestimated Wu Youyou. He had anticipated that she might play tricks on him, but he never expected her to pull such a bold move!
Without hesitation, Hou Yi called someone to obtain Wu Youyou's contact information. When he dialed her number, her bright voice came through the line, "Who is this?"
"It's Hou Yi! Did you really send my people to shovel manure? Huh?"
Wu Youyou laughed and replied, "What's wrong? You said I could send them wherever I wanted! Not only did they shovel manure, but they also helped me with the outhouse! With limited resources, you work in construction; you should know that, right? President Hou, trying to show off in front of women comes with its own costs. You understand that, don't you?"
With that, Wu Youyou abruptly hung up the phone, leaving no chance for Hou Yi to respond.
Staring at the darkened screen of his phone, Hou Yi felt like he was about to lose his mind. She actually hung up on me!!!
