"Who have you been hanging out with all this time? Tell me!"An angry shout drew even more attention from the gathered onlookers.
Yaoyao, both embarrassed and irate, shot a disdainful glance at the curious crowd. "What's wrong, Feng Chen Yi? This is a public street!"
"Tell me, Lo Yaoyao, who are you with right now?!"The cold, accusatory tone—like something from the depths of hell—came from Feng Chen Yi, whose expression was more terrifying than she'd ever seen."You… it's none of your business," she snapped, shaking off his hand and disappearing swiftly into the crowd.
"Damn it!" With a raised foot, he slammed it angrily against the car door.Startled, Lisa hurried over. "Mr. Feng, are you alright?"
Indeed, indeed! Yaoyao's earlier claim of having a fiancé was obviously a lie—and then there's that pregnancy test stick… With his clenched fist and bulging veins, he barked, "Lisa, check immediately: find out which men Lo Yaoyao has been in contact with over the past two years!"
"Right…" came the curt reply.
OB/GYN Clinic – Later
A doctor addressed a perplexed Yaoyao, "Young lady, are you kidding me? You're still a virgin, yet you want me to check if you're pregnant?"
"Virgin? That can't be! Doctor, have you examined me thoroughly? Then what's the deal with my missed period recently?"The doctor responded, "There could be many reasons—stress, physical issues. Just because your period is late doesn't mean you're pregnant. Perhaps you should learn a bit more about basic women's health, dear."
"Uh… sorry, sorry, doctor. Thank you," she stammered.Leaving the examination room, Yaoyao felt utterly mortified. If only she knew how to use that pregnancy test properly, she wouldn't have had to come to the hospital. Yet here she was—a victim of a colossal mix-up. That bastard Mr. Yu Aotian really played her for a fool. But… it seems they really don't have that kind of relationship, after all."Thank goodness…" she whispered in relief as she slowly walked out of the hospital.
Just then, a middle-aged woman abruptly stopped her. "Young lady, young lady," the woman said."Uh, ma'am, what is it?"The mysterious woman glanced around furtively and handed her a business card. "I just saw your exam. We happen to be looking for girls like you—beautiful and pure. If you're interested, give me a call. The payment is… one million."One million? For what exactly? Yaoyao scanned the card; it had nothing but a phone number. As she was about to ask the woman further, the lady vanished without a trace. How strange…
Suburban Outskirts – A Luxurious Crystal Villa
In the suburbs, an opulent crystal mansion sat amid lush green hills, its sprawling estate secured by armed guards at every step—its grandeur and seclusion rivaling that of the White House.Bathed in sunlight, the crystal villa glittered. Inside, in a softly lit room, a woman half-kneeling on a plush chaise, swaying continuously, moaned in breathless delight, "Aotian… I'm about to come…""Wait, come with me!"In one swift motion, the man flipped her down onto the bed…"Ugh…" The woman's mind went blank. Clutching his neck tightly, she raised her head and deep-kissed him.Moments later, Mr. Yu ended the kiss and lay beside her.The woman, as if like a contented cat, nestled against him. "Aotian, I want a child."With a slight frown, Mr. Yu smiled wickedly, "Meiyun, aren't you thinking of giving up your career?""It doesn't matter anymore. Having been with you so long, I feel I just can't live without you.""Ha. Meiyun, you're the woman who's stayed by my side the longest. Do you know why I've kept you so long?""I know," Meiyun replied, lifting her eyes to meet Mr. Yu's icy, seductive gaze. With a rueful smile, she added, "Because I'm more sensible, more understanding, and I truly know your heart better than your other women.""Since you already know that, there's no need to say more, right?" Mr. Yu sat up and began dressing, picking up the clothes on his bedside table.Meiyun took a deep breath and said slowly, "All my friends envy me for having a boyfriend like you, while they end up being kept in the background. I know you're good to me, and I'm grateful for everything you've done. Perhaps I shouldn't ask for more, but… what every woman truly wants is a family.""Meiyun, if you keep talking like that, I'll be really angry!" Mr. Yu's face darkened noticeably."Sorry, Aotian. But I must apologize—I didn't take my contraceptive pill this time. I'm sorry."His hand paused in the act of dressing, and for a moment, Mr. Yu's deep, cold eyes flashed with something dark. Then, with a slight curl of his lips he said, "It's fine. If you are pregnant, just have an abortion." Without another word, he left without looking back."Aotian…" Meiyun seemed about to say more, but she knew any further words would only incur his displeasure.
Back at the Villa's Ground Floor
"Mr. Aotian, the car is ready—let's go," someone announced as Long Ye, Mo Xue Tong, and others gathered.Mr. Yu then led the group and climbed into a Hummer parked outside the mansion—a palace-like residence that epitomized luxury.
At a Grand Auction Hall
In an exquisitely decorated auction hall, groups of impeccably dressed businessmen in tailored suits sat together."Mr. Yang, Mr. Yu Aotian has arrived.""Mr. Liu, Mr. Yu is here."One after another, all eyes turned toward the entrance.Everyone in this hall was a multimillionaire, and most held positions as CEOs or higher. Yet when this country's top group CEO appeared, even they couldn't help but look on in awe."Hehe, Mr. Yu Aotian's entrances are always so magnetic.""Of course, Old Yang—this unknown kid took two years to become a household name, and wherever he goes, he draws attention. More importantly, I'd say he and Feng Chen Yi, the rising star of the Feng Group, are the two fresh talents on the scene these past two years. Who do you think will ultimately come out on top?""That's hard to say. Feng Chen Yi is a few years younger than Mr. Yu, but Feng already has a solid background. Mr. Yu, on the other hand, is practically self-made. Both have their merits—how can one compare them?""True enough…"Two middle-aged men, both in their fifties, discussed quietly. As Mr. Yu and his entourage passed by, one of them suddenly exclaimed, "Who is that woman by Mr. Yu's side?""Ah, Old Liu, despite your age your taste never changes. That woman is Mr. Yu's personal secretary, Mo Xue Tong. I once tried asking her out, but she turned me down. She's stunningly cold.""Personal secretary? Ha! In my eyes, she's more like Mr. Yu's personal slave. After all, Mr. Yu's reputation is well known far and wide—what chance does his secretary have to be immaculate? It doesn't matter anyway!"Clearly, that Mr. Liu was just sour because he couldn't have her. And yet, in the business circles, Mo Xue Tong's name was renowned.
