Chapter 6: The unforgettable gift_1

After work, Yan Ling grabbed her bag and went to the cafe at the base of the Borrman Hotel for a rendezvous.

The usually bustling hotel was unusually quiet today for some reason.

After ordering a coffee, she watched the bustling crowd outside the window, contemplating how she would express her intention to her date.

She didn't consider dating; she simply wanted to pay for a "husband" to get her child into school.

Once the child was enrolled, she would immediately divorce the other party.

This idea, which went against conventional wisdom, was sure to be rejected by any other man, but the conditions of the man she was meeting were exactly what she was looking for.

Not only was he handsome and pleasing to the eye, but the key point was he was jobless, broke, and had two children about the same age as her son to take care of.

He was under enormous financial pressure.

As long as she paid generously, he would undoubtedly agree to the fake marriage.

As Yan Ling was making her calculations, she looked up just to see a pair of man and woman holding arms, walking into the entrance amidst a crowd in an intimate manner.

When she saw the faces of the leading man and woman, her pupils deepened suddenly, and the coffee in her hand almost spilled out of the cup.

Shen Liangshen and Yan Zixuan!

She would recognize them even if they were ashes.

"Mr. Shen, Miss Yan, my sincere apologies. I informed the staff to clear the area, but a new intern accidentally admitted a guest nonetheless…"

The hotel manager apologized while bending over. Shen Liangshen, worried about his dignity, couldn't bring himself to be overly critical, but he said with dissatisfaction, "Today is our sixth-anniversary celebration, and everyone who came today is a close friend of mine and Zixuan's. Ask her to leave quickly!"

The manager felt caught in a difficult situation. It stood to reason that he shouldn't be driving guests away when conducting business.

Nevertheless, the Shen and Yan families had developed vigorously in Haishi over the years, and offending them for the sake of one ordinary customer could be a case of more loss than gain.

While deciding whether to ask the guest in the cafe and the restrooms to leave, Yan Zixuan spoke softly.

"Brother Sheng, it doesn't matter. Today is such a lovely day. I hope everyone can be as happy as we are. Let her stay…"

Yan Zixuan's words invited compliments from the crowd behind her.

"No wonder Young Master Shen is eager to marry Zixuan. She's so beautiful and kind-hearted, who wouldn't love her?"

"Of course, Zixuan's angelic generosity is not an empty phrase. She has donated tens of millions to help children in impoverished areas over the years…"

"Besides being charitable, Zixuan is also a fantastic investor. Several companies in which the Yan Family has invested are all her choices. I'd say, Zixuan and our Young Master Shen are a match made in heaven. One is young and ambitious, the other is both beautiful and talented. There could not be a more fitting couple in Haishi."

"Together for six years and still sweet as ever. This love really wins my heart~"

Hearing their words, Shen Liangshen didn't pursue kicking the guest out.

He glanced at the tender Yan Zixuan in his arms, and his face was full of indulgence.

Then he walked towards the banquet hall arm in arm with Yan Zixuan and the crowd.

Watching the pair, who everyone saw as a match made in heaven, Yan Ling's obsidian eyes filled with an immeasurable chill.

How laughable!

It turned out that Shen Liangshen had already hooked up with Yan Zixuan six years ago, while she had been foolishly kept in the dark until the very end.

The betrayal from six years ago and the pain of losing her child five years ago made Yan Ling wish to rush forward and tear the scummy man and sleazy woman apart.

However, in the end, she managed to suppress her inner impulse.

Killing Shen Liangshen and Yan Zixuan wouldn't bring her dead son back to life.

And Yuan Bao would become the son of a criminal.

To sacrifice her and her child's future for two pieces of filth wasn't worth it.

She would take revenge, but not through these foolish ways.

With these thoughts in mind, a cold smile appeared at the corners of Yan Ling's mouth.

Isn't today their anniversary?

Then she would give them an unforgettable gift!
