Tong Le suddenly remembered, "By the way, how did you know where I live? And is this car yours? A Rolls Royce, worth several million, right? I didn't expect you to be so wealthy."
Zong Zeyu spoke up, "Do you like this car?"
Tong Le shook her head. "I can't say I like it. Even if I had money, I wouldn't buy such an expensive car. This is my husband's dream car; I was just asking out of curiosity."
Just a moment ago, Zong Zeyu had been somewhat soft-hearted, but upon hearing Tong Le mention Ke Wenjie, he instantly grew cold, as if a bucket of ice water had been dumped over his head, leaving a sour taste in his mouth.
Tong Le carefully admired the car's decorations—beautiful, exquisite, high-end; it truly was a great vehicle. But that trash Ke Wenjie didn't deserve it!
Zong Zeyu was nearly fuming. Here was Tong Le, pretending to be pregnant to keep Ke Wenjie, asking for real estate back, and even sitting in someone else's car while thinking of her husband. Just how deeply was she in love?
He was about to go crazy!
At that moment, Tong Le's stomach growled loudly since she hadn't eaten breakfast.
The car was quiet except for the symphony coming from her belly.
With a silly smile, Tong Le said, "Can we stop by a breakfast shop first and grab some buns?"
Zong Zeyu was still angry. "No way!"
Tong Le was taken aback. "If not, then what? You can't just—"
Five minutes later, Zong Zeyu and Tong Le got out of the car by the roadside.
Despite being jealous, Zong Zeyu couldn't bear to let Tong Le go hungry.
Meanwhile, at Tong Company.
Ke Wenjie had just stepped into his office when Lan Qingqing followed closely behind.
Lan Qingqing held a thermal lunch box in her hand. She hurriedly closed the office door behind her and said sweetly, "Ke Wenjie, I made you breakfast. Aunt Zhang said you didn't eat this morning, so I rushed to prepare it for you."
Ke Wenjie instinctively glanced toward the door with an unhappy expression. "You come to my company every day; don't you worry about what people outside will say? Aren't you supposed to be at work at this time? Does Zong Group allow you to come in late and leave early?"
Lan Qingqing placed the lunch box on the desk and pouted playfully. "Oh come on! I know you're always careful with your work, but everyone in the company knows I'm Tong Le's best friend. Besides, Tong Le often sends me to bring you things; they won't think too much about it."
She handed Ke Wenjie a pair of chopsticks. "Ke Wenjie, eat your breakfast; you can't work on an empty stomach."
Ke Wenjie took the chopsticks with annoyance and began eating the so-called heartfelt breakfast prepared by Lan Qingqing.
In reality, it was all takeout from a breakfast shop.
Ke Wenjie found it tasted pretty good and felt his mood lift slightly. "Did you make these buns yourself?"
Lan Qingqing nodded, "Yes, I'll put it in the fridge. I heard you were hungry, so just steam it when you're ready to eat."
Ke Wenjie finally looked at Lan Qingqing properly. He noticed the dark circles under her eyes and asked, "Did you stay up late last night?"
Her expression immediately fell. It wasn't just staying up late; she hadn't slept at all. After learning that Tong Le was pregnant, it felt like the sky had fallen on her.
Lan Qingqing leaned closer to Ke Wenjie, trying to charm him. "Are you really going to keep Tong Le's baby? If that child is born, will you still love me?"
Seeing the flirtatious glint in her eyes stirred something in him. "Then why don't you give me one too?"
Lan Qingqing felt weak and leaned against his shoulder. "I don't want Tong Le to have that baby. I think she doesn't deserve you."
Ke Wenjie set down his chopsticks and said firmly, "I've finished eating; you should get back to work. About that thing you mentioned last time, I've taken care of it. I have an old friend at Zong Group, and I've already talked to him. He'll arrange a well-paying position for you that's not too demanding."
Just as Lan Qingqing was about to express her gratitude, Ke Wenjie’s expression turned cold. "Don't bring up my situation with Tong Le again. You know I'm not divorcing her yet. When I get that piece of land, I'll handle it then. Also, that child must be born safely. Once she has the baby, Tong Le will trust me more. Don't even think about interfering with that child."
Lan Qingqing held back her emotions and left Ke Wenjie's company.
Ke Wenjie opened his computer and began browsing various real estate listings. He took out his phone and sent a message to Tong Le: "Wife, now that you're pregnant, I think we should move to a bigger house. In a few days, I'll have the Real Estate Agency take us to see some properties."
After sending the message, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
He thought simply: since he and Tong Le lived in a house that was her property before marriage, he would sell this pre-marital property and buy a bigger one to turn it into marital property.
Meanwhile, Lan Qingqing arrived at Zong Group. It had taken her considerable effort and several connections to secure a position there.
As soon as she entered the elevator, she overheard whispers from people nearby.
"Is it true? Did our Zong Zong really get someone pregnant?"
"Absolutely! I heard from our department manager who has Su Qing's WeChat—she said Su Qing posted five moments yesterday after going on a blind date with Zong Zong! All of them were complaints about him!"
"What a scandalous situation! I used to think our Zong Zong had issues with his orientation! Who knows which girl got lucky enough to be pregnant before marriage? If she can have Zong Zong's child, she'll be set for life!"
Listening to these gossiping voices in the corner, Lan Qingqing felt a twinge of envy. To be able to conceive the child of the big boss of Zong Group while unmarried truly seemed like a dream come true—a life of luxury ahead!
Why couldn't such good fortune come her way? Instead, she had to expend so much effort just to bind the young boss Ke Wenjie to her side!
