Hearing that Mu Liyin had turned down all her work to focus on her pregnancy, with all the penalties being covered by Huo Chanyi, Chun Yuejing felt a surge of bitterness rise within her. How much money must that cost? Such extravagance was truly astonishing!
Nestled in her cramped apartment, Chun Yuejing flipped through gossip magazines, her heart heavy with sorrow, nearly suffocating under the weight of it all.
Why wasn’t she out there confronting those reporters? They were clearly flaunting their happiness on purpose!
It was simply too much! Too shameless! Their audacity was infuriating!
This unbearable life dragged on for over half a month until Chun Yuejing finally remembered something crucial. She hurriedly changed her clothes and rushed to Ba Entertainment, determined to expose the scoundrel who had been impersonating her!
Once the lecherous Little Boss was caught, he stubbornly refused to apologize. “You’re an employee of the company; what’s wrong with contributing a bit? Besides, isn’t Huo Chanyi very fond of you? He won’t do anything to you.”
If he hadn’t said such things, it might have been bearable. But now, Chun Yuejing was furious, kicking him hard in a sensitive area. “Get lost! I curse you to be impotent for life!”
She was about to explode with rage. What did he mean by ‘fondness’? It was all nonsense!
“You heartless woman! No wonder Huo Chanyi doesn’t want you anymore!” Little Boss shot back venomously. “He’s about to fly off with his little lover; you’re out of the picture!”
Chun Yuejing paused in her attempt to kick him again. “What?”
“Huo Chanyi has booked a flight for this afternoon to go to America…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Chun Yuejing dashed out like an arrow released from a bow, jumping into a taxi and speeding towards the airport.
That arrogant jerk who had once shouted at her, “You can never leave me,” was actually planning to fly away? And with another woman?!
Chun Yuejing pouted, looking as if she might burst into tears. The taxi driver, noticing her distress, curiously asked, “Miss, where are you off to? Chasing after a little lover?”
"My man is running off with someone! Master, if you don't hurry up, I'm really going to cry!"
If she didn't speed up soon, she might actually burst into tears.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Chun Yuejing sniffled and answered, "Hello? What is it? I'm busy and don't have time!"
"Chun Yuejing, where the hell have you been?" The man's furious voice made her eardrums ache.
Chun Yuejing stared at her phone in shock for a moment before hesitantly calling out, "Huo Chanyi?"
Feeling embarrassed for being so easily fooled by Little Boss, she was scolded back by Huo Chanyi. She had come to this somewhat remote villa and immediately spotted Mu Liyin, who was pregnant... Now she was about to feel a wave of jealousy.
Huo Chanyi, in a foul mood, ignored her. Meanwhile, Mu Liyin smiled brightly and said, "My child is not Huo Chanyi's."
"Ah?" Chun Yuejing was stunned. Did that mean she had another lover?
And now she was carrying someone else's child while making poor Huo Chanyi take the blame? Chun Yuejing looked at Huo Chanyi with pity in her eyes.
Huo Chanyi unhappily tapped her forehead. "She already has a partner; I'm just a shield."
Chun Yuejing nodded in understanding but then asked, "Why are you telling me this?"
Forgive her for not being quick on the uptake; she truly didn't get it.
Huo Chanyi turned his head away in anger and ignored her.
Mu Liyin explained, "Because he was afraid you might misunderstand, he wanted to clarify things before I left."
"Leaving?"
"I am going abroad to have the baby."
Mu Liyin's face radiated with happiness.
Chun Yuejing nodded in understanding, but suddenly she froze. Did he fear that she would misunderstand? Could it be… really… possible?
She recalled another question that had once made her furious—"You didn't believe me back then! You even drove me away!"
Hmph, she was someone who held grudges!
"I believe you, but I must let the outside world think I am Li Yin's lover. She doesn't want anyone to know who the father of the child is."
Thus, driving away Mu Liyin's "rival" was an unavoidable move.
Chun Yuejing felt he was being overly confident. "How can you be so sure that I won't expose your news? I genuinely want to make your story public."
Huo Chanyi smirked, "Because I know you have the heart of a thief but lack the courage."
Thank you for your "trust"...
Chun Yuejing lowered her head, deeply disdainful of her own cowardice.
After many twists and turns, Huo Chanyi finally succeeded in sending Mu Liyin abroad.
Chun Yuejing collapsed onto the ground, exhausted. Taking care of a pregnant woman was indeed a tough job. What would it be like if she were pregnant herself?
"Hey, what about Ye Wei?" Huo Chanyi asked as she pulled her up.
Chun Yuejing, her mind solely focused on sleep, replied, "Dead, who knows?"
While she was preoccupied with her desire to sleep, Huo Chanyi was clearly displeased. "Hey, if it weren't for you, my benefactor wouldn't have left in such a hurry. How are you going to compensate me?"
At this, Chun Yuejing finally woke up completely. Her eyes darted around as she realized that Mu Liyin had already left, confirming that there was nothing special between them... Did this mean she had a chance to rise in status?
Rich men were not something one encountered every day. Besides, she had been reluctantly called "Big Sister" for so long; she couldn't just let herself be at a loss!
But what if he actually enjoyed being pampered... Chun Yuejing shyly said, "Well, I've managed to recover the money that Ye Wei took. Although it's not much, I promise to work hard to earn more in the future. So, let me take care of you."
There were many benefits to supporting this Underworld Boss—everything from food and clothing to warmth and social appearances would be taken care of. Plus, as the benefactor held the most power, she could call the shots when it came to news and other matters in the future!
It seemed like a guaranteed win!
"Then let's start with some payment!"
"What..."
Her lips were sealed as a passionate kiss enveloped her, leaving her lost in its intoxicating embrace.
