《The Runaway Mommy》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Wen Ning, do you have any plans after graduation?¡± At the prom, Yan Heng walked towards Wen Ning with a glass of wine. Wen Ning looked at Yan Heng in surprise. Why did he ask her this question? She thought he had always hated her. All these years, he had teased her too many times. After giving it some thought, Wen Ning answered, ¡°I¡¯m going abroad to further my studies. My family has already made arrangements for me.¡± Yan Heng instantly laughed. ¡°Really? I really didn¡¯t expect you to be able to go overseas with such results. I thought only an outstanding person like me would choose to go overseas.¡± Wen Ning gritted her teeth in hatred. Yan Heng was just so detestable. Others always think that he was a polite and humble student, but with her, he was always that abhorrent guy! ¡°Does that mean you¡¯re going overseas too?¡± Wen Ning asked casually. Yan Heng shook his head. ¡°I don¡¯t have that in my plans for now. I¡¯m preparing to take over the family business. I think you should take more responsibility for your father. After all, like my father, he has not been in good health.¡± ¡°It¡¯s none of your business!¡± ¡°Alright, here¡¯s to your plans for overseas studies. Cheers!¡± Yan Heng raised the wine glass in his hand. ¡°I thought you didn¡¯t drink?¡± Although she found Yan Heng¡¯s actions strange, Wen Ning still finished the wine in her glass. ¡­ In her daze, Wen Ning felt something pressing down on her. It was so heavy! Although she was so drunk that she could not open her eyes, Wen Ning was still trying to push away the heavy object from her body. ¡°Trying to pin me down? No way!¡± Wen Ning felt the heat from the heavy object as well as the breath she exhaled. This heat made her want to take a cold shower. Just as she was thinking about it, Wen Ning felt the temperature around her suddenly drop, as if¡­ her clothes had been ripped off. The temporary coldness seemed to have allowed Wen Ning to regain some ability to think. However, before she could figure out what was going on, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower body! The feeling of being torn apart made Wen Ning feel like her brain was deprived of oxygen, and her ability to think disappeared once again. ¡°Ah¡­¡± Wen Ning yelled, ¡°Bastard, how dare you bully me! I¡¯m not to be trifled with!¡± Wen Ning decided to teach this bully a lesson! * ¡°What should I do? What should I do?¡± Wen Ning looked at herself in the bathroom mirror and was about to cry. The hickeys on her neck were enough to prove how intense the battle was last night! She would never have thought that she could drink so much with Yan Heng last night. What¡¯s worse, after getting drunk, she slept with him! What the hell! Yan Heng was still sound asleep, his upper body exposed. Wen Ning could not help but gulp. She did not expect this guy to have such a good figure with six packs. Despite what had transpired, Wen Ning still hated this fellow. They had been classmates since they were young. Yan Heng was a good student in the eyes of others¡ªeveryone liked him. But only Wen Ning knew how hateful he actually was! Every time she teased Yan Heng, he would get back at her, and in the end, everyone would think that she was the one in the wrong! To think she slept with Yan Heng in a daze. If he woke up, what would he think? How would he take revenge on her? Wen Ning no longer dared to think about the consequences. She had to leave this place and get away from this fellow! After putting on her clothes, Wen Ning fled the room. The moment the hotel door closed, Yan Heng, who was originally sound asleep, opened his eyes. Did he confess to her last night? He could not believe that his alcohol tolerance would be so low that he had forgotten about his carefully prepared confession. Fortunately, the subsequent development was an unexpected surprise. They had slept together after all. Would their relationship be different when they met again? He just didn¡¯t expect her to run away? What a coward! He decided to give her two days to calm down, lest she thought that his confession was too perfunctory. Two days later, the meticulously dressed Yan Heng rang the doorbell of Wen Ning¡¯s home with a bouquet of roses. ¡°What? Wen Ning went abroad yesterday? Oh, it¡¯s nothing¡­ nothing.¡± Yan Heng turned around and left dejectedly. The bouquet in his hand fell to the ground.. Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Four years later, when Wen Ning, who was overseas, received her father¡¯s notice of critical illness, she almost broke down. She had hid her pregnancy from her father but it looked like she would have to face the music. She finally made up her mind to bring the three-year-old Wen Li back home. When she got off the plane and rushed to the hospital, she realized that there were many people gathered outside her father¡¯s ward. These people pounded on the door of the ward furiously. Most of them had angry expressions on their faces. ¡°Wen Zhenghai, don¡¯t play dead. Hurry up and come out to settle your debts! Do you think you won¡¯t have to pay because you¡¯re hiding in the hospital?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, Wen Zhenghai. We¡¯ve been working together for so long. You can¡¯t let everyone down! Come out and return the money!¡± One of them tried to knock on the door, but someone else was obviously blocking the door from the inside. Wen Ning¡¯s face grew sullen and she thought to herself, ¡°Are these people here to ask Father for money?¡± ¡°Excuse me, can you please make way?¡± Wen Ning tried to squeeze her way to the door of the ward, but she could not get past these angry people with her child. ¡°Who are you? Are you here to ask Wen Zhenghai for money too?¡± someone asked curiously. Wen Ning shook her head. ¡°No, I¡¯m his daughter.¡± ¡°What? You¡¯re Wen Zhenghai¡¯s daughter? Then hurry and return the money! Your father owes our company two million dollars. Now that he¡¯s hiding inside and pretending to be dead, you can be the one to pay up!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Pay up!¡± The group was agitated to hear that she was Wen Zhenghai¡¯s daughter and crowded around her, causing Wen Li to burst out crying. Wen Ning hugged Wen Li close and raised her voice. ¡°Please cool down and listen to me.¡± When the group appeared to have calmed down, Wen Ning spoke to them, ¡°Everyone,I just got down the plane. Can we settle this together after I have understood the situation?¡± ¡°You just need to understand that you owe us money!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± With that, they became rowdy again. Wen Ning took a deep breath and yelled, ¡°Listen to me if you want the money! Otherwise, you won¡¯t get a single cent!¡± Everyone finally quieted down again. Staring at the closed door of the ward, Wen Ning walked towards it and knocked on the door. ¡°Uncle Su, are you inside? I¡¯m Wen Ning. Could you please open the door?¡± The door of the ward was finally opened. His father¡¯s assistant, Su He, stood at the door and looked at Wen Ning excitedly. ¡°Miss Wen, you¡¯re finally back!¡± ¡°How¡¯s my father now? Also¡­ what¡¯s going on? Why are there so many people here?¡± Wen Ning asked worriedly as she looked inside the ward. Su He sighed and then told Wen Ning the reason. A business partner of the company had gotten into trouble, implicating her father¡¯s company. A large amount of funds had been placed on that project, causing problems with the cash flow. When the other partners heard the news, they came over to ask for the money that was owed to them. Since the company could not afford to fork out so much money, Wen Ning¡¯s father fell ill in a moment of panic. ¡°Sick? I think Wen Zhenghai is just pretending! He¡¯s hiding because he doesn¡¯t want to pay us back!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± The crowd started shouting again. Staring at her unconscious father on the hospital bed, Wen Ning took a deep breath and said to the people around her, ¡°Everyone, if my father really doesn¡¯t wish to return the money, wouldn¡¯t it be better for him to go into hiding and not see you guys? He¡¯s already sick. I hope you guys can give him time to recuperate! As for the money¡­ I¡¯ll think of a way to return it to you!¡± Someone questioned on the spot, ¡°What solution do you have?¡± Wen Ning stared at him sternly and said, ¡°Give me a week.. I promise I¡¯ll pay you!¡± Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When the debt collectors left, Wen Ning finally went into the ward and saw her father lying unconscious on the bed. ¡°I¡¯m sorry¡­ Daddy, it¡¯s all my fault for being wilful.¡± Wen Ning laid her head on the hospital bed, her shoulders heaving from crying. The three-year-old Wen Li held onto Wen Ning¡¯s hand and asked in a childish voice, ¡°Mother, is this Grampy?¡± ¡°Yes! He¡¯s your grandfather!¡± ¡°Grandpa, wake up. Can you play with Wen Li?¡± Wen Li called Grampy twice, but there was no response. Assistant Su He sighed, looked at Wen Ning and asked, ¡°Miss Wen, what do we do now? Are we going to declare bankruptcy?¡± ¡°No!¡± Wen Ning shook her head. ¡°Since I promised to give them money, I¡¯ll definitely do it! Uncle Su, Father has been running the company for so many years. Now that he¡¯s in trouble, isn¡¯t there anyone who can help?¡± Su He looked at Wen Ning with some difficulty. Finally, he lowered his head and said: ¡°There is one family that can help you. CEO Wen had arranged a marriage for you. It was with Jiang Muzhi, the heir of the Jiang Family. Unfortunately, before he could tell you, he fell sick.¡± Wen Ning frowned. SHe would definitely not accept such an arranged marriage. Seeing Wen Ning¡¯s expression, Su He knew what she was thinking. ¡°Miss Wen, the only people who can help the Wen Family now are the Jiang Family. I know you are not pleased with President Wen¡¯s arrangement, but¡­¡± ¡°Alright, don¡¯t say anymore! I will reach out to Jiang Muzhi, but not as his fianc¨¦e! Help me take care of my father.¡± After Wen Ning left the hospital, she called her best friend. ¡°Feifei, where are you? I need your help with something!¡± After handing the child over to Jiang Feifei, Wen Ning barged into the Jiang Muzhi¡¯s office. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, CEO Jiang. This lady insisted on coming to see you. I couldn¡¯t stop her¡­¡± The secretary behind Wen Ning looked at Jiang Muzhi with fear. Jiang Muzhi waved his hand to indicate that it was alright. ¡°Wen Ning?¡± Jiang Muzhi was somewhat surprised, ¡°Long time no see, why are you here?¡± ¡°Jiang Muzhi, I am here to discuss a collaboration with you!¡± Wen Ning placed the prepared information before Jiang Muzhi. Flipping through the document before him, Jiang Muzhi was somewhat surprised. It was stated that the Wen Family was willing to give up 30% of their shares in exchange for the Jiang Family¡¯s limited investment. Although the Wen Family was in a crisis now, 30% was still more valuable than what he had to fork out, based on the scale and value of the company. ¡°You are quite generous!¡± Jiang Muzhi laughed. ¡°How about it? Are you open to a collaboration? As long as you agree, you can buy a third of the Wen Family¡¯s shares. And after the Wen Family survives this crisis, the returns you receive will definitely exceed your current investment! However, I have one condition¡ªcancel the marriage agreement between our two families.¡± There was no need to sacrifice herself to save the company. Wen Ning felt that her conditions were enough to move the other party. Jiang Muzhi was somewhat hesitant. To be honest, he had fallen in love with this beautiful girl after seeing her at a banquet five years ago. Or else, he have proposed the engagement. If it weren¡¯t because of the sudden mishap in the Wen Family, perhaps he would already have started arranging the engagement. But now¡­ Wen Ning¡¯s offer was too tempting! After hesitating for a long time, Jiang Muzhi finally agreed to Wen Ning¡¯s condition. After all, to him, his career was the most important thing. Besides, after gaining 30% of the Wen Family¡¯s shares, it meant that he had reasons to interact with Wen Ning. Perhaps he would still have a chance with her . Jiang Muzhi returned the contract to Wen Ning, ¡°I will agree to your request. However, we still need to review the details of this collaboration.. Let¡¯s sign the contract tomorrow!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Satisfied, Wen Ning left Jiang Muzhi¡¯s office. Just as she entered the elevator, a man noticed her. ¡°Is it her?¡± Yan Heng recognized Wen Ning immediately. He had missed her during the four years when she was overseas. When did she come back? What was she doing here? Yan Heng walked into Jiang Muzhi¡¯s office with a number of unanswered questions. When he learned of Wen Ning¡¯s intentions, Yan Heng was furious. ¡°Woman, how much do you hate me? With such a big incident happening at home, the first person you went to beg was actually someone else and not me?¡± ¡°CEO Yan, in regard to our collaboration, do you think¡­¡± ¡°No problem, but¡­ I have a condition!¡± Yan Heng had a smirk on his face. * Wen Ning took a closer look at the contract and made sure that there were no issues before rushing to the Jiang Corporation with it. However¡­ to her surprise, Jiang Muzhi, who had promised to cooperate with her yesterday, had changed his mind. ¡°What do you mean? Are you not satisfied with the terms in the contract? Or do you have other thoughts about me?¡± Wen Ning was a little annoyed. She hated people who did not trust her the most. Jiang Muzhi shook his head in denial, ¡°No, it¡¯s just that¡­ something cropped up!¡± The day before, Yan Heng had used their partnership as a threat and made a request that Jiang Muzhi could not refuse. Although Jiang Muzhi was also in a difficult position, he decided to be the bad guy for the sake of the company . Wen Ning took two deep breaths and told herself that this was a business negotiation and anything could happen. After calming herself down, Wen Ning asked, ¡°What was it that cropped up? Tell me and I¡¯ll resolve it!¡± Jiang Muzhi shook his head: ¡°You can¡¯t resolve it! Someone has said that if I collaborate with you, my dealings with them will be terminated! They will also create issues for my company.I cannot take this risk!¡± ¡°Who is that person?¡± Wen Ning caught the main point in his words. Jiang Muzhi smiled bitterly: ¡°I can¡¯t tell you. You can try and recall if you have offended someone important!¡± Offend someone important? What kind of joke was this? She had not returned to the country for four years! She had seen less than ten people since returning. How could she have offended someone important? Seeing that Jiang Muzhi was unwilling to reveal more and the collaboration could not continue, Wen Ning could only leave. At this moment, Wen Ning was filled with frustration. Apart from the most crucial problem that could not be solved, she could not figure out what kind of big shot was making things difficult for her. Was it someone her father had offended? Wen Ning called her father¡¯s assistant. ¡°Uncle Su, has my father offended anyone previously?¡± ¡°No. Why do you ask?¡± Wen Ning briefly explained the matter. Su He was also puzzled. ¡°It shouldn¡¯t be. We were just unlucky and got implicated by others, but we didn¡¯t do anything to offend anyone.¡± Who could it be? Wen Ning fell into deep thought. Perhaps she could find out the answer from his father¡¯s past connections. * ¡°Hello, Uncle Li. I¡¯m Wen Ning¡­ I¡¯d like to visit you. You aren¡¯t at home? What a coincidence. Alright, I¡¯ll come over when you¡¯re back.¡± ¡°Uncle Liu, it¡¯s Wen Ning. Do you have time? It¡¯s alright, next time!¡± ¡°Uncle Hu¡­¡± After making a round of calls, Wen Ning felt increasingly hopeless. Everyone treated her like a plague, not even giving her a chance to meet them. Wen Ning sat in her father¡¯s office, staring at the empty office with a helpless look on her face. She placed her finger on Yan Heng¡¯s number and did not dial it for a long time. She did not know why he came to her mind at her most helpless moment. It was not that she wanted Yan Heng to help her, but she wanted to find someone she could talk to. Even though she had often bickered with him in the past, she wanted to tell him about her grievances. After hesitating for a long time, she decided not to call him. At this moment, she received a call from an unknown number. ¡°Miss Wen? I¡¯m from the Sky High Group. I have a collaboration project to discuss with you. Are you interested?¡± Wen Ning was taken aback by the unexpected call. Sky High Group? What kind of company is this? I¡¯ve never heard of it before. After checking up on the Sky High Group online, Wen Ning was instantly excited. This was actually a big company that was on the rise in recent years! The company was established three years ago and had abundant funds. Within a short span time, it had developed into one of the top corporations in Yunhai City. ¡°Oh my god, did I suddenly get lucky?¡± Wen Ning covered her mouth in surprise. ¡°Miss Wen? Are you listening?¡± Wen Ning hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m interested!¡± Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Wen Ning arrived at the Sky High Group with a proposal she put together hurriedly and met the general manager, Song Xinjie, who was on the phone with her. After flipping through the proposal in Wen Ning¡¯s hands, Song Xinjie said with a look of disdain, ¡°Miss Wen, if your company is at such a level, then I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any point in our cooperation. I won¡¯t invest money in a company that can¡¯t even produce a proposal.¡± Wen Ning blushed a little. After all, the call was too sudden and Wen Ning did not have much time to investigate. Hence, this proposal¡­ was indeed a tad shoddy. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Mr Song. If you think it¡¯s not good enough, I can change it.¡± For the sake of the company, Wen Ning could only swallow her sense of injustice. ¡°All these sections are problematic. The most important thing is that we are providing help when the Wen Family is in a crisis. Shouldn¡¯t the Wen Family show your greatest sincerity? 30% shares? Isn¡¯t that too little?¡± ¡°30% is too little?¡± Wen Ning felt that he was taking advantage of her. Wen Ning tried to argue with the other party, but he insisted on getting 50% of the Wen Family¡¯s shares. In the end, the meeting ended on bad terms. Before Wen Ning left, Song Xinjie smiled and said, ¡°Miss Wen, you can take your time to think about it. I¡¯m not in a hurry! However, I believe that no other company will be able to work with you at this time.¡± Wen Ning returned to the hospital dejectedly. Sitting in front of her father¡¯s hospital bed and looking at her unconscious father, Wen Ning felt like she was about to break down. Earlier, her father¡¯s assistant had informed her that many people in the company had tendered their resignation. It was obvious that the company¡¯s crisis had worsened. If she could not keep these people in the company, the company might not be able to sustain itself, even if she was to pay back all the money that was owed, Helpless, Wen Ning dialed Song Xinjie¡¯s number. ¡°CEO Song, I think we can discuss the collaboration again.¡± ¡°Discuss? Sure, I¡¯ll be in room 001 at New Emperor¡¯s Nightclub. Bring me the contract!¡± The New Emperor¡¯s Nightclub? He actually asked her to meet at that kind of place? As a woman, Wen Ning naturally knew what he was planning by asking her to meet at that kind of place. She wanted to reject him, but when she saw her father lying on the bed, she gritted her teeth and rushed to the nightclub with her bag. There were seven or eight other people in the room, apart from Song Xinjie in room 001. The noisy environment made Wen Ning frown. ¡°Wow, what a beautiful woman! Mr Song, is this your girlfriend?¡± A bald man sitting beside Song Xinjie asked with a smile. He looked at Wen Ning with eyes full of lust and desire. Song Xinjie smiled and shook his head. ¡°No, she¡¯s my business partner. Miss Wen, you came just in time. Have a seat.¡± Looking around the room, Wen Ning saw that all the seats were taken. If she wanted to sit, she would have to squeeze in between others or sit on someone¡¯s lap. Suppressing her anger, Wen Ning took out the contract from her bag and said, ¡°I won¡¯t stay for long, CEO Song. I came here to talk to you about the contract¡­¡± ¡°Miss Wen!¡± Song Xinjie interrupted Wen Ning. ¡°You¡¯re such a wet blanket. I don¡¯t talk about work during leisure time.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Wen Ning said anxiously,¡± Didn¡¯t you ask me to bring the contract here to look for you? ¡± ¡°Did I say that?¡± Song Xinjie thought for a moment. Then, he placed a bottle of XO on the table. ¡°Just take it that I did. Drink this! If you drink one bottle, I can give you ten percent. If you can drink five bottles, I will give you all the profits for this cooperation. How about that?¡± The people around them started to laugh and jeer. ¡°Haha, Mr Song, you¡¯re making things difficult for this beautiful lady. Why don¡¯t I drink on her behalf?¡± ¡°You¡¯re drinking on her behalf? Are you trying to steal this lady¡¯s business? Mr Song is talking business with this lady!¡± Song Xinjie looked at Wen Ning with a half-smile. ¡°Miss Wen, you can choose not to drink. I won¡¯t force you! The door is right there. Take the contract and leave this room. I¡¯ll pretend you never came! As for the collaboration, you don¡¯t have to come and talk to me anymore!¡± Wen Ning¡¯s face darkened.. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said, ¡°I¡¯ll drink!¡± Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Under everyone¡¯s gaze, Wen Ning finished two bottles of XO. When she threw the empty bottle on the floor, she could not take it anymore and fell onto the sofa. ¡°Haha, this lady is really beautiful and adorable! Mr Song, let me have her tonight!¡± The bald man sitting beside Wen Ning extended his hand towards Wen Ning¡¯s body. ¡°Get your dirty hands off her!¡± Song Xinjie¡¯s face suddenly darkened. ¡°Huh?¡± The bald man was stunned for a moment before he said unhappily, ¡°Song Xinjie, what do you mean? It¡¯s just a woman. Is there a need for that?¡± Song Xinjie said coldly, ¡°Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you. You can¡¯t afford to touch this woman!¡± ¡°What a joke! Who said I can¡¯t afford it?¡± ¡°I said so!¡± The door to the private room was pushed open and Yan Heng walked in with a gloomy face. ¡°CEO¡­ CEO Yan?¡± The bald man, who had a smug look on his face just now, instantly turned pale when he saw Yan Heng. The others were so scared that they didn¡¯t say a word. Yan Heng looked at these people coldly and glared. ¡°Get lost!¡± Everyone fled the room in fear. Song Xinjie did not say anything but left after placing a room key on the table. Yan Heng looked at Wen Ning, who was lying on the sofa, with a gentleness in his eyes. She did not appear to have changed much over the past four years. She had only lost her immaturity, leaving only a captivating charm. However, looking at her flushed face and drunk state, Yan Heng could no longer suppress his anger. ¡°Don¡¯t you have any sense of self-preservation? Do you do whatever other people ask for the sake of a collaboration? Did you also act so casually during your years abroad?¡± Yan Heng gritted his teeth and growled. Unfortunately, Wen Ning could no longer give him any response. Yan Heng grabbed the room key on the table and carried Wen Ning out of the room. Yan Heng opened the room that Song Xinjie had booked beforehand and threw Wen Ning onto the bed. Wen Ning moaned in discomfort, causing a rush of reactions in Yan Heng. This woman had been going against him since they were young, yet he could not help but fall in love with her. He had thought that their relationship would be confirmed when they slept together. Who would have thought that she would rush out of the country the next day? Yan Heng loosened his tie and squatted beside the bed. He then slowly placed his hand on Wen Ning¡¯s face. ¡°This time, I won¡¯t let you leave! Even if I have to tie you up next to me!¡± ¡°Wen Li, don¡¯t be angry. I¡¯ll play with you when I¡¯m done¡­¡± She had dreamed of her son playing with her and could not help but talk in her sleep. Yan Heng¡¯s warm expression suddenly froze, and his hands slowed down. Wen Li? Who was this? Was he her boyfriend? She wanted to play with him after she was done? No wonder she didn¡¯t want to come back after four years overseas. She already had a boyfriend! Yan Heng¡¯s expression darkened. He took a deep breath and pulled the blanket over Wen Ning before leaving the room without looking back. The next day. Wen Ning woke up with a splitting headache. Recalling what had happened before she got drunk, Wen Ning was shocked and hurriedly sat up to check on her body. Fortunately, her clothes were neat and tidy. Wen Ning heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that Song Xinjie was still a gentleman. She seemed to have drunk two bottles of XO before she passed out last night. According to her agreement with Song Xinjie, the collaboration should have been completed. At the thought of this, Wen Ning¡¯s nervousness finally eased. After washing up, Wen Ning rushed to her friend Jiang Feifei¡¯s house. When he found out that his mother would bring him to the amusement park after signing the contract, Wen Li jumped up in joy. Upon arriving at the Sky High Group, Wen Ning instructed Wen Li and Jiang Feifei to wait for her in the guest room. She then proceeded to look for Song Xinjie. Jiang Feifei and Wen Li were playing finger games in the guest room when an unexpected voice came from the side.. ¡°Jiang Feifei? Why are you here?¡± Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Jiang Feifei turned around and asked with surprise, ¡°Yan Heng? What a coincidence! Do you work here?¡± Yan Heng shook his head. ¡°No, I¡¯m here to handle some matters.¡± The entire company belonged to him, so technically, other people were working for him here. ¡°What about you? Why are you here?¡± Yan Heng knew that Jiang Feifei was Wen Ning¡¯s best friend. ¡°Oh, I¡¯m waiting for someone.¡± Jiang Feifei smiled. ¡°This child looks quite cute. Is he your son? When did you get married?¡± Yan Heng noticed Wen Li beside him. For some reason, when he saw Wen Li, Yan Heng had a very strange feeling. It was as though he had seen this child before. ¡°Yeah¡­ I guess so!¡± Jiang Feifei nodded. ¡°Can¡¯t I have a son before I get married?¡± Yan Heng shrugged indifferently before walking towards Wen Li. He squatted next to the child and asked, ¡°Little kid, what¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°What¡¯s wrong with me? I usually hate children. Why do I have the urge to talk to this child today?¡± Wen Li looked at Yan Heng fearfully and finally said, ¡°My name is Wen Li!¡± Yan Heng frowned and turned to look at Jiang Feifei. ¡°Is this Wen Ning¡¯s child?¡± Jiang Feifei nodded. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± ¡°She¡¯s¡­ married?¡± Yan Heng felt that his heart was about to break. ¡°Why are you always so concerned about whether other people have gotten married or not? There¡¯s no law stating that you have to get married before you can have children, right? Wen Li, let¡¯s go. I¡¯m not talking to this uncle anymore. He¡¯s so rude!¡± Yan Heng frowned as he watched Jiang Feifei leave with Wen Li. Wen Li? Could it be that the Wen Li that Wen Ning called out in her dream last night was that of her child? In that case, did she have a boyfriend or not? Yan Heng¡¯s expression instantly became uncertain. He had to investigate this matter thoroughly! * In the office, Song Xinjie rejected Wen Ning¡¯s proposal once again. This time, his rejection made Wen Ning furious. They had already agreed on it last night. Why did he change his mind now? Could it be that some ¡°big shot¡± had put a stop to this cooperation? ¡°Mr Song, aren¡¯t you going overboard? You can¡¯t change what you¡¯ve promised! Shouldn¡¯t you be more trustworthy when doing business?¡± In the face of Wen Ning¡¯s accusations, Song Xinjie was also a little helpless. He did not know which part of the contract had gone wrong. His boss had clearly told him in advance that they could sign the contract today. However, in the middle of the night, his boss called again and said that they would no longer proceed with the contract. As for the reason, the boss actually wanted him to come up with it! How could he come up with an excuse for such a dastardly act? ¡°Miss Wen, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m not trustworth, but I¡¯ve thought about it carefully last night. This cooperation is indeed not the best choice for our company, especially when your company is currently in a debt crisis¡­¡± As he spoke, Song Xinjie was losing his confidence. Just at this moment, his phone rang. He looked at his phone. ¡°Sorry, I have to take this.¡± After he hung up the phone, he looked at Wen Ning and felt a little awkward. ¡°Hmm¡­ but Miss Wen¡¯s sincerity has indeed moved me, so I¡¯ve decided to continue working with your company. However¡­ I have another condition.¡± ¡°What condition?¡± Wen Ning asked in surprise.. Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Yes! Your initial proposal was indeed not professional enough, so I doubted your company¡¯s abilities. To prove your ability, I hope you can work in our company for a period of time!¡± ¡°As for the position¡­ you will be the CEO¡¯s assistant! As long as you can prove yourself, there won¡¯t be any problems with this collaboration. Also¡­ we can pay 20% of the initial investment upfront to help your company resolve the current difficulties.¡± ¡°You mean¡­ you want me to be an employee in your company?¡± Wen Ning did not expect him to make such a strange request. Wasn¡¯t this too ridiculous? However, she would immediately receive 20% of the investment funds if she agreed. With this money, the company would be able to sustain itself. Wen Ning nodded and said, ¡°I agree!¡± After signing the contract, Wen Ning left happily and found Jiang Feifei and Wen Li. ¡°Let¡¯s go, baby. Mommy will bring you to the amusement park!¡± ¡°Hooray!¡± Initially, Wen Ning wanted to share this good news with Jiang Feifei. However, on the way to the amusement park, Jiang Feifei told Wen Ning that she had bumped into Yan Heng. Wen Ning¡¯s face stiffened. ¡°Yan Heng? Did¡­ did he say anything?¡± ¡°No!¡± Jiang Feifei shook her head. ¡°This Yan Heng is too rude. I didn¡¯t realize it when I was in school. I didn¡¯t expect him to be such an annoying person who likes to pry into other people¡¯s privacy.¡± Wen Ning heaved a sigh of relief and forced a smile. ¡°Is that so? I¡¯ve already told you before that this Yan Heng is really annoying!¡± She really didn¡¯t expect Yan Heng to meet Wen Li. She hoped he didn¡¯t suspect anything about Wen Li. Wen Ning was a little nervous. So what if he had guessed it? As long as she did not admit it and never see him again, it should be fine. After all, it was not as though he could force Wen Li to do a paternity test. But why would Yan Heng appear at the company? Was he an employee of this company? If she went to SKy High Group to work and bumped into him, would it be very awkward? Feeling uneasy, Wen Ning accompanied her son to the amusement park for the day. When she returned to the hospital at night, her assistant, Su He, told Wen Ning that Sky High Group had transferred a sum of money to the company¡¯s account. Wen Ning immediately told Su He to repay a portion of the money that the company owed. Wen Ning finally heaved a sigh of relief. This crisis had been temporarily averted. She hoped that her work at Sky High Group would not be too difficult. The next day, Wen Ning reported for work. Song Xinjie brought Wen Ning to the CEO¡¯s office. There was no one in the office which was ridiculously big. Apart from the work area, there was also a leisure space, with a small bar counter in the lounge area and different types of drinks on the bar counter. They were all expensive world-class wines. The only discordant thing was that there was a desk near the door. There was nothing on it. It looked as though it had just been moved here. Song Xinjie pointed. ¡°This is your desk.¡± ¡°What?¡¯ Wen Ning asked in astonishment, ¡°Are you kidding me? Isn¡¯t¡­ isn¡¯t this too sloppy?¡± Song Xinjie smiled. ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? You¡¯re the CEO¡¯s assistant, so of course you have to work in the same office as him!¡± Wen Ning was at a loss for words. She was now extremely suspicious that the other party wanted her to be the CEO¡¯s assistant to humiliate her. However, Wen Ning suppressed her anger at the thought of the money she received yesterday. ¡°In that case, what would my job scope be?¡± Song Xinjie carried a pile of documents and placed them in front of Wen Ning. Wen Ning was to finish handling these documents before leaving work that day. Staring at the mountain of documents, Wen Ning sighed and thought to herself, Indeed, this was meant to torture her. But for the sake of her father¡¯s company, she could only grin and bear it! Song Xinjie had just left the CEO¡¯s office when he dialed Yan Heng¡¯s number. ¡°Boss, the arrangements have been made.¡± Yan Heng smiled. ¡°Did she object to it?¡± ¡°No! She seemed¡­ very calm.¡± ¡°Was she very calm? This isn¡¯t like her!¡± Yan Heng smiled.. He would give her a ¡®surprise¡¯! Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Rubbing her shoulders, Wen Ning felt as though she was about to fall apart. All the documents she had been handling for the entire day were all trivial matters. It was already dark outside. Wen Li had already called several times and asked her when she was going back. As she comforted her son, she was uncertain as to when she could get off work. ¡°Mr Song, can I get off work now?¡± Wen Ning walked out of the office and knocked on the door of the General Manager. However, there was no response. She pushed the door open and realized that there was no one inside. When she looked outside, she realized that all the lights in the company were off. She was all alone. Gritting her teeth, Wen Ning packed up the unfinished documents and prepared to leave the company to go home for overtime work. Unexpectedly, just as she was about to close the office door, a voice came from a dark corner. ¡°Have you finished your work?¡± Wen Ning was shocked. ¡°Ah¡­¡± A dark figure stood up from the shadows and stared at Wen Ning coldly. ¡°You weren¡¯t so timid in the past!¡± When the person came before Wen Ning, Wen Ning was stunned. Yan Heng? ¡°You¡­ why are you here?¡± Wen Ning stammered. Shouldn¡¯t he be at Yan Corporation? Yan Heng smiled. ¡°This is my company, why can¡¯t I be here?¡± ¡°Your company?¡± Wen Ning¡¯s eyes widened in shock. She suddenly understood what was going on when she thought about how difficult it had been for her in the past few days. ¡°So, it was your idea to arrange for me to work here?¡± Wen Ning was furious. ¡°Yan Heng, you¡¯re really a despicable person! Haven¡¯t you been against me since we were young? Now you¡¯re at it again!¡± No way! She had to quit no matter what! Wen Ning threw the folder into Yan Heng¡¯s arms. ¡°I quit!¡± ¡°Have you thought it through? The contract clearly states that if either party breaches the contract, the penalty will be ten times the amount of the collaboration!¡± Yan Heng held a contract in his hand and looked at Wen Ning teasingly. Stunned, Wen Ning pounced at Yan Heng. ¡°Give me the contract!¡± She might as well tear it up. However, Wen Ning could not reach the contract with Yan Heng raising his arm. After jumping a few times, Wen Ning accidentally hit the corner of the table and bent over in pain. ¡°It¡¯s been a few years since we last met, but you seem to have become much weaker!¡± Yan Heng squatted down beside Wen Ning. ¡°Why? Did you become meek after finding your true love?¡± Wen Ning rolled her eyes at Yan Heng and said in a low voice, ¡°Why can¡¯t you just let me off?¡± ¡°Let you off?¡± Yan Heng smiled and shook his head. ¡°Wen Ning, aren¡¯t you thinking too lowly of me! Do you think I invested so much in your family business just to take revenge on you for bullying me when we were young?¡± ¡°I have better things to do! Every investment I make will be rewarded, including this time. I¡¯ve already told you the reason why I asked you to work here. You have to show me your ability to convince me. Only then can I trust that I would not make a loss.¡± Wen Ning looked at Yan Heng skeptically. ¡°Are you for real?¡± Yan Heng smiled and nodded. Of course that was the case. It was just that the returns for each investment were different. Wen Ning stopped talking. Yan Heng smiled and extended an invitation to Wen Ning. ¡°You¡¯ve been busy all day and haven¡¯t eaten yet, right? Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll treat you!¡± ¡°No need, I still have something on!¡± Wen Ning picked up the folder from the ground and left the office without looking back. Yan Heng smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s alright, we have plenty of time..¡± Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After returning to her best friend¡¯s house and coaxing her son to sleep, Wen Ning tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep. Previously, she had thought of asking the Yan family for help, but when she considered her awkward relationship with Yan Heng, she decided against it. She was trying her best to avoid interacting with Yan Heng. After all, the two of them used to hate each other, but due to a twist of fate, she had given birth to Yan Heng¡¯s child. It was not that she had never thought of telling Yan Heng about the child¡¯s identity, but given the current situation of the Wen Family, what would Yan Heng think if she really told him? Would he look down on her and think that she was using the child as a bargaining chip to threaten him? At the thought of this, Wen Ning was determined not to allow anyone to look down on her and Wen Li. This was her threshold! Perhaps it would be best for her to leave with Wen Li after settling her family matters! * The next morning, Wen Ning arrived at the office. It was rush hour and the corridor was packed with people waiting for the elevator. Wen Ning looked at an elevator not too far away in puzzlement. No one seemed to be taking it! ¡°Why aren¡¯t you taking that elevator?¡± Wen Ning asked curiously. Could it be that the elevator was broken? She pressed the elevator button, and the elevator door opened. Just as Wen Ning was about to enter, she heard someone berating her. ¡°Come out quickly! That¡¯s not for you!¡± Wen Ning looked at the person who spoke. It was a woman with black-framed glasses. She was a fat lady who looked to be in her forties. The other party¡¯s face was filled with exasperation. Wen Ning asked in puzzlement, ¡°Why can¡¯t I use it?¡± There was no signage stating that it was being repaired! The fat woman said angrily, ¡°That¡¯s the CEO¡¯s exclusive elevator! The employees can¡¯t use it!¡± Exclusive elevator? Wen Ning frowned. When did Yan Heng become such an unsophisticated person? Looking at the other people queuing up, Wen Ning felt that it would take at least ten minutes for all of them to go upstairs. Wasn¡¯t this a waste of time? Wen Ning called the others and said, ¡°It¡¯s a waste for the elevator to be empty. The CEO isn¡¯t here anyway. Everyone, come in. Let¡¯s not waste time.¡± Seeing that Wen Ning did not take her words seriously, the fat woman was instantly enraged. ¡°Which department are you from? Tell me, I¡¯ll get your supervisor to fire you!¡± ¡°And which department are you from?¡± Wen Ning asked in indignation. ¡°I¡¯m the logistics manager, Huang Wei!¡± The fat woman felt that if she revealed her position, she would definitely scare the other party. Unexpectedly, Wen Ning said nonchalantly, ¡°If you can get my supervisor to fire me, I¡¯ll be grateful to you.¡± If she was fired, it wouldn¡¯t be considered a breach of contract, right? ¡°You¡­¡± Huang Wei did not expect this woman to be so arrogant. ¡°Where¡¯s the security? Security! Come here quickly and chase this woman out!¡± She looked in the direction of the lobby and summoned the security. No matter what, she had to let this woman out of the elevator. She had to protect the CEO¡¯s authority. ¡°There¡¯s no need to shout!¡± A voice interrupted Huang Wei. ¡°CEO Yan?¡± Huang Wei¡¯s eyes lit up, and she quickly walked up to Yan Heng. ¡°This person should be new here and doesn¡¯t know the rules. I told her that this is your exclusive elevator and that no one else can use it, but she refused to listen. I think it¡¯s better to fire such an employee.¡± ¡°Fire her?¡± Yan Heng revealed a half-smile. ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Huang Wei hurriedly nodded. Yan Heng¡¯s expression darkened. ¡°I think you should be the one getting fired!¡± ¡°What?¡± Huang Wei widened her eyes in disbelief.. Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Yan Heng said in a low voice, ¡°Finance will settle your salary later and you will leave your job. Sky High Group doesn¡¯t need people like you!¡± ¡°What¡­ what did I do to deserve this?¡± Huang Wei felt extremely wronged. ¡°The elevator is meant to make things easier for everyone. I never knew that I would need a separate elevator to be my personal elevator. Am I such an uncultured person in your eyes?¡± Yan Heng had never said that he wanted an exclusive elevator for the CEO. It was just that when he took the elevator back then, nobody dared to take the same trip with him. As time passed, some people started to have strange ideas about using this method to please him. However, Yan Heng¡¯s words made the company mistakenly think that he was protecting the newbie in the elevator. Everyone cast glances at Wen Ning again. Yan Heng then pointed at Wen Ning. ¡°This is the new CEO¡¯s assistant. What she said just now was exactly what I wanted! Anyone can take this elevator in the future!¡± With that, Yan Heng walked into the elevator and looked at the people standing outside. ¡°What are you waiting for? Come in quickly! Do you want to be late?¡± Everyone hurried in. When the elevator doors closed, those who did not board the elevator deliberately kept their distance from Huang Wei. Huang Wei looked like she was about to cry. She gritted her teeth and walked to a corner where no one was around. She took out her phone and said, ¡°Mu Lan, this is your aunt! This is bad, come to the company quickly! CEO Yan has found a new assistant. From the looks of it, he seems to have a special relationship with her! He even wanted to fire me for that woman!¡± Huang Wei exaggerated in her recount of what had just happened and hid the fact that she was being arrogant and despotic. Half an hour later, a fashionable and pretty woman arrived at Sky High Group. ¡°You¡¯re finally here! Mulan, you have to help me talk to CEO Yan!¡± When Huang Wei saw the woman, her face was filled with excitement as though she had found someone to rely on. He Mulan said in a low voice, ¡°We¡¯ll talk about you later. Where is the woman you were talking about?¡± ¡°She went up with CEO Yan.¡± He Mulan came to the door of the CEO¡¯s office aggressively. Before she opened the door, she heard Yan Heng¡¯s scolding from inside. ¡°Are you an idiot?¡± He Mulan froze at the door of the office. Who was Yan Heng scolding? Was it his new assistant? ¡°Have you seen any company¡¯s important documents that can be taken home for processing? Do you have any sense of confidentiality? Do you think the company belongs to your family? You are not allowed to go home until you finish these documents today!¡± He Mulan walked into the office and saw an angry Yan Heng. A woman was working on a pile of documents at a desk. This¡­ didn¡¯t look like an affair at all. It was clearly a grudge. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Yan Heng looked at He Mulan impatiently. He Mulan hurried to explain, ¡°Well¡­ I haven¡¯t been here for a few days. I¡¯m here to see how you are doing. Right, I haven¡¯t seen this person before. She is¡­¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with you,¡± Yan Heng answered coldly. ¡°I¡¯ve said it before, don¡¯t disturb me when I¡¯m working. If there¡¯s nothing else, go back.¡± He Mulan was driven out of the office. Looking at Wen Ning who was busy with the documents, Yan Heng felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to explain his relationship with He Mulan to Wen Ning. ¡°That person¡­ is my fianc¨¦e, but¡­¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with me!¡± Before Yan Heng could finish, Wen Ning interrupted him.. Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Yan Heng initially wanted to say that this engagement was arranged by his family. However, after hearing Wen Ning¡¯s words, Yan Heng was instantly a little miffed. Was it really none of her business? It seemed like she didn¡¯t really care about matters between him and other women. Yan Heng sneered. ¡°How can it not have anything to do with you? After all, we are partners. When we get married in the future, we might invite you to our wedding!¡± Wen Ning lowered her head as if she was too busy with the documents in her hands to bother with him. She would not admit to being unhappy when Yan Heng introduced that woman. Why was she like this? Didn¡¯t she hate this guy since she was young? Could it be that she had softened her heart a little towards this man because of their son? The office fell silent. * He Mulan went downstairs. Huang Wei went up to her anxiously and asked, ¡°Mulan, have you seen CEO Yan? About me¡­¡± He Mulan interrupted Huang Wei and said,¡±We¡¯ll talk about your matter later on. Yan Heng is currently throwing a tantrum in the office. When he¡¯s in a better mood, I¡¯ll help you plead for leniency. I¡¯ll definitely help you get your job back.¡± Huang Wei immediately smiled and said, ¡°I¡¯m not anxious about my matters. I¡¯m just worried for you.¡± ¡°Are you worried for me?¡± He Mulan sneered. ¡°If something like this happens again in the future, call me after you¡¯ve investigated it thoroughly. There¡¯s nothing between Yan Heng and that woman.¡± He Mulan didn¡¯t believe that a man who torture the woman he liked to that extent. However, if that woman stayed by Yan Heng¡¯s side all day long, she would become a threat to He Mulan. She had to think of a way to get rid of that woman! * Although Yan Heng had said that she could not leave until she finished her work, he knocked on Wen Ning¡¯s desk in the afternoon. ¡°Come with me.¡± ¡°Where are you going?¡± Wen Ning pointed at the unfinished documents in front of her. ¡°I still have to work overtime.¡± ¡°We¡¯ll talk about it tomorrow. Now come with me.¡± Yan Heng could not help but retort. He grabbed Wen Ning¡¯s wrist and left. Finally, they arrived at a private room in a hotel. Wen Ning saw the few people waiting in the room. ¡°CEO Yan, welcome, welcome. We¡¯ve been waiting for you! This beautiful lady is¡­¡± ¡°Assistant!¡± Yan Heng had no intention of introducing Wen Ning. Wen Ning also understood that Yan Heng had brought her here to attend a drinking session. Did she need to drink with them? Wen Ning knew that Yan Heng could not hold his liquor well. Ever since he was young, he had never drunk much alcohol. However, her alcohol tolerance was not that good either. The last time she drank two bottles of XO, she was knocked out. Just as Wen Ning was feeling uneasy, Yan Heng handed the car keys to her. ¡°You will drive later!¡± To Wen Ning¡¯s surprise, Yan Heng, who never drank alcohol in her recollection, did not reject anyone¡¯s toast tonight. After a while, it seemed to her that Yan Heng had drunk at least one bottle of whiskey. The atmosphere gradually became lively. There were also people who wanted to let Wen Ning have a drink or two, but they were all rejected by Yan Heng. When the session ended, Yan Heng had clearly drunk too much. ¡°Where are we going?¡± Wen Ning started the car and asked Yan Heng, who was in the passenger seat. ¡°Jiang Xin Villa.¡± Wen Ning knew this place. It was where Yan Heng grew up. She had been there a few times. ¡°We¡¯re here!¡± After parking the car in the courtyard of the villa, Wen Ning shook Yan Heng, who was about to fall asleep. ¡°Help me in!¡± Yan Heng ordered. Wen Ning frowned slightly, but seeing Yan Heng like this, she still held his arm and brought him into the villa. After putting him on the sofa and pouring a glass of water for Yan Heng, Wen Ning was ready to go home. Wen Li should be asleep by now. ¡°Don¡¯t leave tonight!¡± Yan Heng¡¯s voice suddenly came from behind.. Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Wen Ning was shocked. She turned around and felt herself being pulled into his arms. His masculine scent intoxicated Wen Ning instantly. Yan Heng was the one who had drunk too much, but why was she the one feeling dizzy now? His firm chest gave her the urge to lean on it and never leave. However, Wen Ning still wanted to push Yan Heng away. This annoying fellow suddenly became so gentle. It was really unbearable! Yan Heng smiled. He held Wen Li¡¯s waist with one hand and pinched Wen Li¡¯s chin with the other. ¡°If you don¡¯t say anything, I¡¯ll take it that you¡¯ve agreed!¡± With that, Yan Heng fiercely kissed Wen Ning¡¯s lips. Wen Li¡¯s eyes widened. This was supposed to be a warm moment, but because of her shocked expression, it seemed a little ridiculous. When had she agreed? She felt indignant that she wasn¡¯t able to say anything since Yan Heng had literally gagged her. Wen Ning wanted to protest against Yan Heng¡¯s unreasonable behavior, but she couldn¡¯t say a word. Her entire mouth was invaded by Yan Heng. Even as she tried resisting, she could not overcome the onslaught from his tongue. Wen Ning only resisted for a while before she completely fell into it. She seemed to have lost her ability to think. This feeling seemed very comfortable. She only had a blurry memory of that night four years ago, but that feeling was long gone. Could this be considered her first kiss while she was conscious? She closed her eyes and was about to surrender to this feeling when she felt a pair of large hands feeling up her chest! Wen Ning¡¯s eyes widened again and she placed her hand on the pair of large hands. ¡°Ah! Damn it!¡± Yan Heng felt his tongue being bitten by Wen Ning. The intense pain made him take a step back. However, he immediately felt Wen Ning grabbing his hand tightly. Just as he thought she was pulling him back into her embrace, he seemed to have been hurled off. Bang! Yan Heng was thrown onto the ground by Wen Ning. Before Yan Heng could react, Wen Ning had already stood beside him and kicked him hard in the stomach. ¡°Ow, damn it!¡± Yan Heng hugged his stomach with a pained expression. Wen Ning wiped her lips. There was still a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth¡ªit was Yan Heng¡¯s. She looked at Yan Heng angrily. ¡°Stinky hooligan!¡± With another kick, Wen Ning grabbed her bag and left. ¡°Hehe¡­ Hehehehe¡­¡± Yan Heng, who was lying on the ground, could not help but laugh out loud. Looking at the door that was slammed heavily by Wen Ning, Yan Heng turned around and sat up. He was still savoring her scent and said in an intoxicated whisper, ¡°Woman, you can¡¯t run!¡± * Wen Ning felt a little regretful. She should have taken Yan Heng¡¯s car keys before she went out. Jiang Xin Villa was in the suburbs and was very far from the city center. It was night time now, and there were no taxis at this time! Should she walk back? Or should she head back to Yan Heng¡¯s house, grab the car keys, and leave? Wen Ning decided would rather walk home for two hours than see that detestable face of his laughing at her! Just as Wen Ning started walking towards the city center helplessly, a car stopped beside her. ¡°Pretty girl, where are you going? Do you need me to give you a lift?¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios The driver was a young man in his twenties. His hair was dyed in various colors. He didn¡¯t look like a good person. Wen Ning wanted to reject him. However, after thinking about it, it would take at least two hours to walk from here to the city center. She didn¡¯t know what would have happened to her by the time she returned to Jiang Feifei¡¯s house. Wen Ning nodded and said, ¡°Can you drive me to the city?¡± As she got into the car, Song Xinjie called Yan Heng. ¡°Boss, I didn¡¯t receive Miss Wen. She left in someone else¡¯s car. I don¡¯t know him. I think¡­ he lives in the same area as you.¡± Yan Heng¡¯s hand that was holding onto the phone was a little pale from the exertion. Yan Heng slammed the phone onto the ground and vented his anger. DId she reject me just to get into someone else¡¯s car? Just you wait, I will let you know the consequences of angering me! * Wen Ning sat in the passenger seat with a frown on her face. Ever since she got into the car, the man beside her had been harassing her with his words. In the beginning, Wen Ning was still very patient in answering the other party¡¯s questions. Gradually, Wen Ning no longer wanted to bother with this fellow. Unexpectedly, he took the opportunity to place his hand on her thigh! Wen Ning slapped his hand away and said in a low voice, ¡°Stop the car, I want to get off!¡± ¡°We haven¡¯t even reached the place yet. Why are you in such a hurry to get off? Ride with me for a while more, we¡¯ll be there soon!¡± The driver said with a grin. At this moment, the smile on his face was already laced with lust. Wen Ning said bluntly, ¡°I repeat, stop the car! Otherwise, don¡¯t blame me for being rude!¡± The driver smiled and said, ¡°Haha, I won¡¯t stop the car. What can you do?¡± As he spoke, he reached his hand towards Wen Ning¡¯s chest. Wen Ning grabbed the driver¡¯s hand and twisted it. ¡°Ah!¡± The driver screamed. As his arm was twisted, his hand that was controlling the steering wheel also shifted. The car instantly swerved and hit a big tree nearby. With a dull thud, the car¡¯s airbag was knocked out. Wen Ning felt her vision turn dark as she was knocked unconscious for a split second. As for the driver, his arm was already severely deformed. It was obvious that the collision just now had caused his arm, which had been twisted by Wen Ning, to fracture. As she came to, Wen Ning unbuckled her seatbelt and struggled out of the car. She took another look at the driver, who was already unconscious. Wen Ning made a call to the ambulance and tried to figure out where she was. She cursed helplessly before staggering towards the city. * ¡°Mommy, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Wen Li was still awake when she finally returned to Feifei¡¯s house. He looked worried when he saw the wound on Wen Ning¡¯s forehead. Wen Ning patted Wen Li¡¯s head smilingly and said, ¡°Mommy accidentally hurt herself. It¡¯s alright, I just need to apply some medication.¡± Feifei, who was beside her, looked worried. While applying medication for Wen Ning, she discussed how well Wen Li had behaved and the plans for his education. ¡°Wenli¡¯s kindergarten education has been settled. Have you thought over it carefully? He¡¯s only three years old after all. Isn¡¯t it too early to send him to kindergarten now?¡± Wen Ning shook her head and said, ¡°He should interact more with other kids. After all, when we were overseas, the doctor told me that Wen Li is autistic and needs to communicate more with others.¡± Jiang Feifei nodded as she sorted out the medicine box. ¡°Alright, you decide. How¡¯s the new company? Were you able to adapt?¡± Thinking of Yan Heng, that detestable fellow, Wen Ning sighed and shook her head.. ¡°I think I¡¯ve been set up!¡± Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When she arrived at the office the next day, Wen Ning sat at her desk as usual, handling some documents. Yan Heng didn¡¯t come. She didn¡¯t know if it was because he was having a hangover. But thinking about how that hateful guy had kissed her until she had no strength left, she felt that it would be great if he could never get up! General Manager Song Xinjie arrived at the office and knocked on Wen Ning¡¯s desk. ¡°Mr Song? What¡¯s the matter?¡± Song Xinjie nodded and cleared his throat. ¡°Yes¡­ Miss Wen, there¡¯s no rush to deal with the documents. The company¡¯s cleaner is on leave today, but we have to clean up the place. Everyone in the company is busy now, and your matters are the least important, so¡­¡± ¡°Your job today is to clean up the company!¡± ¡°What?¡± Wen Ning frowned and stared at Song Xinjie. She wanted to know why Song Xinjie was doing this. Was he deliberately making things difficult for her? Song Xinjie¡¯s gaze was a little evasive, as if he was embarrassed to look Wen Ning in the eye. Wen Ning instantly understood that the reason he did this was to deliberately make things difficult for her. As for why¡­ it must be because of that hateful Yan Heng! Wen Ning wanted to turn a blind eye to it, but¡­ at the thought that Yan Heng still had the contract, she could only nod and say, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll do it.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go now. This is a cleaner¡¯s uniform. Put on the uniform and remember not to miss any corner of the company!¡± Song Xinjie said before he left the office. Wen Ning gritted her teeth and changed into her uniform. She grabbed her cleaning tools and began cleaning the first floor of the company. Wen Ning was cleaning the office with care. Initially, no one recognized her. However, as Wen Ning went in and out of the office to clean up, everyone realized that the cleaning today seemed to be done more professionally than before. Hence, some people took a few more glances at Wen Ning. ¡°Isn¡¯t she the CEO¡¯s assistant who just came to the company two days ago? Why is she cleaning?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. This is the first time I¡¯ve heard that the CEO¡¯s assistant cleaning. Why is that? Could it be that¡­ she offended the CEO and was demoted?¡± ¡°It can¡¯t be, right? If you can qualify as the CEO¡¯s assistant, you can easily get a job somewhere else. At the most, you can just quit. There¡¯s no need to make yourself suffer, right?¡± Everyone in the company started whispering. No one understood what it meant for the assistant to be a cleaner. Of course, Song Xinjie, who had assigned Wen Ning a task, had been paying attention to the conversations. Hearing the discussion, Song Xinjie did not know whether to laugh or cry. What did it mean? It meant that the boss was angry again! Last night, when he called his boss and told him that after Wen Ning had gotten into someone else¡¯s car and left, his boss immediately instructed him to arrange for Wen Ning to clean up the company today. Until now, Song Xinjie still did not understand what kind of attitude his boss had towards Wen Ning. He said that he liked her, but he always liked to make things difficult for her. Yan Heng arrived at the office and saw Wen Ning hard at work. She was bending down to clean the floor in the corridor. Although Wen Ning was very thin, Yan Heng knew how tough this woman was when she got to work! His lower abdomen was still hurting! How dare she hit him! How dare she get into someone else¡¯s car!? He would see to it that she got her just desserts. Just as Yan Heng was about to walk around Wen Ning and return to the office, the bandage on Wen Ning¡¯s forehead caught his attention. ¡°Are you hurt? When did this happen?¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Wen Ning looked up to see Yan Heng looking stern. However, a trace of heartache and nervousness also flashed across Yan Heng¡¯s eyes. ¡°It has nothing to do with you!¡± Wen Ning ignored this detestable man. ¡°Answer me!¡± Seeing that Wen Ning was about to leave with the tools, Yan Heng grabbed her wrist and said in a low voice. ¡°Let go, cough cough¡­¡± Wen Ning tried to move her arm, only to feel a sharp pain in her chest. She began coughing violently. The airbag had hit her chest yesterday, and she still felt a slight pain there. When she pulled it just now, it affected her wound, making Wen Ning feel weak in front of Yan Heng. Yan Heng did not let go of Wen Ning¡¯s wrist. Instead, his grip became much gentler. When Wen Ning finally stopped coughing, Yan Heng asked again, ¡°What¡¯s wrong with you?¡± He did not even notice that his tone had unknowingly become much gentler. Wen Ning looked at Yan Heng, then lowered her head and said, ¡°When I came back from your place yesterday, I hitched a ride in someone¡¯s car. That person touched me, so I taught him a lesson. And the car hit a tree.¡± Yan Heng¡¯s expression changed. Wen Ning pulled Yan Heng¡¯s hand away again. ¡°CEO Yan, if there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯m going to continue working!¡± ¡°Wait a minute!¡± Yan Heng stopped Wen Ning. ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be working in the CEO¡¯s office? Why would you do such a thing?¡± Wen Ning looked at the serious Yan Heng with disdain in her eyes. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you don¡¯t know the reason! If it wasn¡¯t for someone being petty, would I be here cleaning?¡± Yan Heng was also a little embarrassed by Wen Ning¡¯s gaze. He coughed dryly and asked ¡°Did something happen with your job? Why didn¡¯t I know about it? I¡¯ll have to ask Song Xinjie!¡± As he spoke, Yan Heng took out his phone in front of Wen Li. ¡°Song Xinjie, come over here!¡± Before Song Xinjie could say anything, Yan Heng spoke first, ¡°Song Xinjie, who gave you the right to arrange for my assistant to do other jobs?¡± Song Xinjie was stunned. ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to arrange this?¡± But after working for Yan Heng for so long, Song Xinjie had long figured out Yan Heng¡¯s temperament. At this time, what he needed to do was admit his mistake! ¡°I¡¯m sorry, CEO Yan. As the company¡¯s cleaner is on leave today and everyone is busy, I can¡¯t find anyone else for the time being¡­¡± ¡°Even if you can¡¯t find anyone else, can you just arrange for my assistant to do it?¡± Yan Heng glanced at Wen Ning beside him without batting an eyelid. He realized that Wen Ning was rolling her eyes. It was as if she had seen through someone¡¯s trick. Yan Heng blushed even more. Damn it! She actually despised him. Yan Heng said to Wen Ning, ¡°Alright, you don¡¯t have to do the rest. Just leave it to him. Follow me back to the office and continue organizing your documents!¡± Wen Ning nodded and handed the cleaning tools to Song Xinjie expressionlessly. ¡°Mr Song, I¡¯ll leave it to you!¡± Song Xinjie took the tools and looked at Yan Heng. ¡°Director Yan, I¡­¡± ¡°Shut up! Go do your thing!¡± Yan Heng interrupted Song Xinjie. Song Xinjie carried the water bucket and obediently went to clean up in Wen Ning¡¯s place. ¡°Come with me!¡± Yan Heng grabbed Wen Ning¡¯s wrist again and walked towards the office. After Yan Heng and Wen Ning left, Song Xinjie sighed. The boss made a mistake, but he was the one being punished. How unlucky! ¡°Song Xinjie? Why are you cleaning here?¡± A surprised voice sounded from behind Song Xinjie.. Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Wen Ning was dragged into the CEO¡¯s office by Yan Heng. ¡°Sit down!¡± Yan Heng did not let Wen Ning sit at her desk. Instead, he pulled her to sit on the sofa in the rest area. ¡°What are you doing? Didn¡¯t you ask me to continue working?¡± Wen Ning pointed at the documents on the desk. Yan Heng ignored Wen Ning. He turned around and took out a medicine box from a cabinet. He took out gauze and medicine to clean the wound and said to Wen Ning, ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Wen Ning said, ¡°Are you going to change my dressing? Thank you, but it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s just a minor injury.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t move!¡± Yan Heng pushed Wen Ning down in a domineering way before gently tearing the bandage on Wen Ning¡¯s forehead. Just as Wen Ning had said, there was only a small wound on her forehead. Besides, it had already been treated yesterday and she was no longer bleeding. However, the same gauze had been used for the whole night, so the wound was slightly swollen. Yan Heng helped Wen Ning to clean up again and put on a new bandage. ¡°It¡¯s done!¡± Yan Heng heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he would only feel at ease after confirming that the injury on Wen Ning¡¯s forehead was not serious. Due to their proximity, the two of them could feel each other¡¯s breathing. Yan Heng could not help but recall how she tasted last night. He lowered his head and looked at Wen Ning again, only to realize that she had already turned red and looked extremely adorable. Noticing Yan Heng¡¯s invasive gaze, Wen Ning couldn¡¯t help but want to escape. She turned her head in another direction and said anxiously, ¡°I¡¯m going to get to work¡­¡± ¡°Did I tell you to leave?¡± Yan Heng grabbed Wen Ning¡¯s head with both hands domineeringly. Just as he was about to kiss her red lips again, the office door was pushed open. ¡°Yan Heng, tonight¡­¡± The person stopped mid-sentence and raised her voice.¡± What are you doing? ¡± Yan Heng let go of Wen Ning and looked towards the door. It was He Mulan! She looked furious. Yan Heng frowned and asked, ¡°Why are you here?¡± He Mulan pointed at Wen Ning and said, ¡°Why can¡¯t I come? I¡¯d like to ask you, what were you doing just now?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you tell what we were doing? She¡¯s injured. I¡¯m treating her wound!¡± He Mulan finally noticed the bandage on Wen Ning¡¯s forehead. She immediately put on a doubtful expression and asked, ¡°Really?¡± Wen Ning felt like a clown. She stood up and said to Yan Heng, ¡°Do you need me to leave? I can go to the conference room to handle these documents.¡± ¡°No need!¡± Yan Heng looked at He Mulan and said impatiently, ¡°Didn¡¯t I tell you not to disturb me during work hours? What do you want now?¡± He Mulan saw the bandage on the side and believed Yan Heng¡¯s words. ¡°Father invited the mayor tonight. He wants you to attend, so I came to ask if you have any plans for tonight.¡± Yan Heng frowned and looked at Wen Ning. ¡°Assistant Wen, did I ask President Chen out for dinner tonight?¡± Wen Ning was stunned for a moment. ¡°How would I know who you¡¯re meeting for a meal? ¡°Although she was the CEO¡¯s assistant, she had been handling all sorts of documents for the past few days and has never taken part in arranging his schedule. She wondered if he had been asking for too much. However, looking at Yan Heng¡¯s eyes, Wen Ning immediately understood that he was asking her to help him put on a show for He Mulan. It seemed that he did not want to attend He Mulan¡¯s family banquet. Wen Ning smiled and then looked at Yan Heng seriously. ¡°CEO Yan, you¡¯ve gotten it wrong! You and Director Chen are meeting tomorrow night.. You don¡¯t have any work arrangements tonight!¡± Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Yan Heng could see the smugness in Wen Ning¡¯s eyes. She definitely did it on purpose! Yan Heng gritted his teeth and asked again, ¡°Are you sure?¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure!¡± Wen Ning nodded. ¡°Hurry up and accompany your fianc¨¦e. The thought of finally being able to get off work early to see Wen Li made Wen Ning happy. However¡­ for some reason, Wen Ning felt uncomfortable at the thought of Yan Heng accompanying another woman. He Mulan no longer had any doubts about Wen Ning. She smiled at Wen Ning and said, ¡°Your work is really meticulous. Very good!¡± Then she said to Yan Heng, ¡°I¡¯ll go shopping across the street first. I¡¯ll wait for you to go back tonight.¡± After He Mulan left the office, Yan Heng finally could not hold it in anymore. He pressed Wen Ning against the wall. ¡°Damn it! Wen Ning, did you do it on purpose?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t understand what CEO Yan means.¡± Wen Ning blinked her big, beautiful eyes and put on an innocent expression. Yan Heng nodded and finally let go of Wen Ning. ¡°Alright! Continue working!¡± ¡°Stupid woman, how dare you play this kind of game with me? Fine, I will slowly play with you in the coming days!¡± he muttered. After Yan Heng left the office, Wen Ning stuck out her tongue with lingering fear. Thinking that she could finally get off work early tonight, she called Jiang Feifei happily. ¡°Feifei, I¡¯ll get off work early today. I¡¯ll go pick up Wen Li!¡± It was Wen Li¡¯s first day of kindergarten. He must really hope that his mother would bring him home. Jiang Feifei also smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s great. The company just informed me that I have to go out of town for a business trip in the afternoon and will only be back tomorrow. If you can pick him up, I won¡¯t need to take leave.¡± Wen Ning then called her father¡¯s assistant, Su He, to asked about her father¡¯s health and the company¡¯s situation. When Wen Li learned that everything had improved, she was even happier. When it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon, Wen Ning had already started packing up. Just then, there was a knock on the office door. Two men in police uniforms entered the office. ¡°Are you Miss Wen Ning?¡± ¡°I am. What¡¯s the matter?¡± Wen Ning looked at the two policemen in confusion. ¡°We suspect that you¡¯re involved in a case of intentional assault. Please come back to the police station with us to be investigated!¡± Intentional assault? Wen Ning suddenly recalled the car accident last night. She hurriedly said, ¡°But¡­ that incident has nothing to do with me. That person sexually harassed me first! And after that, I called an ambulance for him¡­¡± ¡°If you have anything to say, you can explain it to the judge. As of now, you only need to return to the police station with us. Please cooperate!¡± The two police officers had a business-like attitude. Wen Ning was helpless. ¡°Can I make a call then?¡± ¡°Go ahead!¡± Wen Ning gave Jiang Feifei a call. When she found out that Jiang Feifei had already set off for her business trip, she felt even more despondent. If she followed the two police officers to the police station, she definitely wouldn¡¯t be able to pick up her son in time. What should she do? ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yan Heng walked in with a thick stack of documents in his hands. He had brought them over after going to the office. As a punishment for going against him, he wanted to continue letting Wen Ning work late into the night! Unexpectedly, he saw two police officers in his office. Upon seeing Yan Heng, Wen Ning¡¯s eyes lit up. ¡°CEO Yan, I need your help with something!¡± ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Yan Heng frowned at the two policemen and asked in a deep voice, ¡°Did you get into trouble?¡± ¡°No!¡± Wen Ning shook her head and said, ¡°Can you¡­ help me fetch my son?¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Pick¡­ pick up your son?¡± Yan Heng was stunned. He initially thought that Wen Ning wanted him to help her solve the problem before him. He did not expect her to make such a request. At the thought of Wen Ning having a son, Yan Heng felt extremely jealous. However¡­ when he thought about the child he met at the company previously, Yan Heng could not bring himself to hate that child for some reason. After some hesitation, Yan Heng looked at the two policemen beside him and asked, ¡°What is it? Can you tell me?¡± A shorter policeman looked at Yan Heng and shook his head. ¡°This has nothing to do with you. It¡¯s best if you don¡¯t ask!¡± Yan Heng frowned. ¡°She¡¯s an employee of my company!¡± ¡°Your employment relationship is not a reason for you to be in the way of our work! Please move aside! Otherwise, I will arrest you for obstructing official duties!¡± The short policeman¡¯s tone was cold and businesslike. Yan Heng¡¯s expression turned cold. ¡°Please watch your tone!¡± ¡°Please watch your behavior!¡± The short policeman placed his hand on his waist and looked at Yan Heng warily. ¡°Are you looking for trouble?¡± ¡°No, no! He has no intention of offending you, Mr. Policeman!¡± Wen Ning hurriedly pushed Yan Heng away and said anxiously, ¡°Don¡¯t blow things up. I¡¯m just cooperating with them to understand the situation. Just help me take care of my child, alright?¡± Looking at Wen Ning¡¯s worried expression, Yan Heng understood that she was concerned about her child. He entertained some hope that she was perhaps worried about him as well. Yan Heng nodded. ¡°Give me the address!¡± After relaying the address of Wen Li¡¯s kindergarten, Wen Ning was taken away by the two police officers. Yan Heng called Song Xinjie. ¡°Ask Lawyer Zhang to bail Wen Ning out!¡± When it was about time, Yan Heng left the company to fetch Wen Li. He Mulan just arrived at the garage with several shopping bags. ¡°Yan Heng, come and help me get my stuff!¡± Yan Heng received them with a frown. ¡°Where¡¯s your car?¡± He Mulan said casually, ¡°Just put them in your car! We¡¯re going back together anyway. We can just leave in one car.¡± Yan Heng said in a low voice, ¡°I still have something on, I can¡¯t¡­¡± At this moment, Yan Heng¡¯s cell phone rang. ¡°Boss, we just went over to ask. Miss Wen might be in a bit of trouble! The police sued her for intentionally hurting someone. Most importantly, the victim is the son of the Deputy-Mayor! The police would not release her!¡± Son of the Deputy Mayor? Yan Heng said in a low voice, ¡°I got it. You guys stay there first. Don¡¯t let her get bullied!¡± After he hung up, He Mulan asked with confusion, ¡°What did you say just now?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t go back with you immediately! I have to pick someone up first!¡± Yan Heng corrected himself. ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°My assistant¡¯s son!¡± ¡°What? She already has a son?¡± He Mulan widened her eyes and asked curiously, ¡°Why do you need to help her?¡± Yan Heng got into the car and explained the matter briefly. He Mulan smiled. ¡°Then I should help.¡± Previously, she had wondered if there was really something going on between Yan Heng and his assistant. But now that she knew Wen Ning already had a son, He Mulan was no longer concerned. When they arrived at the entrance of the kindergarten, Yan Heng realized that all the other children had left, leaving only the little boy sitting quietly at the entrance of the school with a beautiful teacher. That boy was the one he met at the office a few days ago. Yan Heng quickly went forward. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Teacher. I¡¯m here to receive Wen Li.¡± The pretty teacher looked at Yan Heng and her eyes lit up. What a handsome parent, she thought. She smiled and asked, ¡°Are you Wen Li¡¯s father?¡± Yan Heng was stunned. However, before he could answer, Wen Li had already stood up and walked to his side. He raised his little hand and was about to pull Yan Heng¡¯s finger. Unfortunately, Yan Heng was too tall and Wen Li couldn¡¯t reach him. After noticing Wen Li¡¯s actions, Yan Heng slightly bent down and grabbed Wen Li¡¯s little hand. Then, Yan Heng instantly felt an electric shock. He had no feelings for children, but for some reason, he had an urge to protect this child. Yan Heng looked at the teacher, then at Wen Li, and finally nodded.. ¡°Can we go now?¡± Chapter 20 - Wen Li Is a Robber? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Yan Heng didn¡¯t admit that he was Wen Li¡¯s father, but he didn¡¯t deny it either. As for what the teacher thought, it was up to her. Holding Wen Li¡¯s hand, Yan Heng walked to the car. He opened the door and before he could say anything, Wen Li had already climbed into the back seat of the car and obediently fastened his seatbelt. He Mulan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, saw Wen Li and asked Yan Heng with her eyes, ¡°Is that him?¡± Yan Heng didn¡¯t say anything. He just started the car and drove towards He Mulan¡¯s house. He Mulan was stunned. ¡°You want to bring him along?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t I?¡± Yan Heng asked casually. ¡°Um¡­ okay¡­¡± He Mulan seemed to be a little afraid of Yan Heng. On the way, Wen Li, who was sitting in the back seat, was very obedient. He did not say a word and did not ask where Yan Heng was bringing him. When they reached He Mulan¡¯s villa, Yan Heng opened the back door. ¡°Get off.¡± Wen Li obediently jumped out of the car. When He Mulan¡¯s parents saw Wen Li, they were also puzzled. ¡°Yan Heng, whose child is this?¡± ¡°It¡¯s a friend¡¯s!¡± Yan Heng casually explained, ¡°Something happened, so I¡¯m helping to take care of him.¡± He Mulan¡¯s parents didn¡¯t ask for too many details and started to introduce Yan Heng to the guests attending the banquet. Other than the mayor, there were also many famous people in Yunhai City. Yan Heng held Wen Li¡¯s hand the whole time as he greeted everyone. They were all curious about Wen Li¡¯s identity but no one seemed concerned about Yan Heng¡¯s privacy. At the end of the introduction, the mayor casually asked, ¡°A very cute kid. His parents must be very beautiful! I must get to know them when you have time.¡± The mayor was just being polite, but Yan Heng laughed. ¡°I¡¯m afraid the mayor will be disappointed because his mother is currently being locked up by your subordinates!¡± * Wen Ning was brought to the police station and locked in a small cell. There was a small table in the room and two chairs facing each other. There was nothing else. After a while, a policeman walked in with a serious look on his face. After gesturing for Wen Ning to sit opposite him, the policeman took out a notebook and asked, ¡°Are you Wen Ning?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± ¡°Around 22:37 last night, were you at the southern part of River Road. Did you attack a kind gentleman?¡± Wen Ning frowned and said, ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯s kind and he¡¯s certainly not a gentleman! I only did it because he sexually harassed me. Besides¡­¡± The police officer interrupted Wen Ning and said, ¡°You just have to answer yes or no. As for how you¡¯re going to defend yourself, you just have to tell the judge. I¡¯m only in charge of confirming the facts! I just want to be objective¡± Wen Ning said with displeasure, ¡°In that case, aren¡¯t you being subjective by calling him a kind-hearted gentleman?¡± The policeman stared at Wen Ning for a long time without saying anything. Finally, he lowered his head and said, ¡°Alright! Next question, did you snatch a Vacheron Constantin wristwatch worth 1.5 million US dollars from the person involved?¡± ¡°What?¡± Wen Ning¡¯s eyes widened in shock. ¡°Are you kidding me? What reason do I have to snatch his things? This is slander! I¡¯ve said it before, I only hurt him because he sexually harassed me! I didn¡¯t do anything wrong, let alone snatch his watch!¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± The police officer sneered. ¡°Miss Wen, according to our investigation, your father¡¯s company is in a debt crisis. After you returned to the country, you promised those creditors that you would repay their debts within a week! That is why you stole someone else¡¯s expensive watch. Am I right?¡± ¡°Slander! This is slander! What evidence do you have to prove that I stole his watch? I¡¯m going to sue you!¡± Wen Ning exclaimed agitatedly. ¡°Evidence?¡± The policeman sneered. ¡°There will be!¡± There was a knock on the door..

Wen Ning¡¯s face grew sullen. After organizing the documents at Sky High Group for such a long time, Wen Ning had come into contact with most of Sky High Group¡¯s matters. This Qiyu Group was also one of Sky High Group¡¯s partners. Similarly, they were also one of the companies that announced the end of their cooperation with Sky High Group a few days ago. Could it be that the Wen Family¡¯s mishap had something to do with the Qiyu Group? Wen Ning started to gather information about the Qiyu Group. ¡®What puzzled her was that although there had been a lot of information regarding the Qiyu Group recently, she could not find a single one now. ¡°Mr Song, I would like to ask, why is there no information about the Qiyu Group?¡± Wen Ning asked Song Xinjie. ¡°Didn¡¯t they terminate their cooperation with us? Because of that, Director Yan got someone to seal all related information about them.¡± Wen Ning had a bad feeling. ¡®When the Qiyu Group was plotting behind the Wen Family¡¯s back, it was during their period of collaboration with the Sky High Group. So, did the Sky High Group participate in the Wen Family¡¯s matters? ¡®Wen Ning refused to think further. This was because she did not know how she would face Yan Heng if Sky High Group was also involved in harming the Wen Family! Before getting off work in the afternoon, Yan Heng came to his office. ¡°Do you need to pick Wen Li up today?¡± ¡°No need. Feifei would be helping to pick him up.¡± ¡°Good. Pack your things and come with me!¡± ¡°Where are we going?¡± ¡°Business trip!¡± * ¡®Wen Ning felt that after not seeing Yan Heng for four years, his character seemed to have become even more unpredictable. She was a tad miffed that he didn¡¯t think of informing her beforehand about this business. Even if there was something urgent, she should have been given enough time to pack her luggage. As if he could read her thoughts, Yan Heng said, ¡°If you need anything, just buy it. The company will reimburse you!¡± He then brought Wen Ning to Spring City. Three hours later, they finally arrived at their destination. It was already nine in the evening. Wen Ning thought that Yan Heng would go straight to the hotel, but he stopped the car at the entrance of a nightclub. ¡®Wen Ning was a little surprised. Wasn¡¯t he on a business trip? Why did he come to a nightclub? This was the first time she heard of going to such a place on a business trip! Yan Heng looked at Wen Ning and said calmly, ¡°I¡¯m here to look for someone! Stay silent later.¡± Wen Ning followed Yan Heng into the nightclub and finally arrived at a quiet private room. The nightclub was noisy, but the room was as quiet as an office. Yan Heng pushed open the door and walked in. There was only a middle-aged man inside, leaning against the sofa with his eyes closed. He looked like he was asleep. Yan Heng sat beside him and knocked on the table. The man opened his eyes and rubbed his face. ¡°You¡¯re here?¡± Yan Heng nodded, then put his bag by the man¡¯s hand. He smiled and asked Wen Ning casually, ¡°Is this your woman?¡± Yan Heng glanced at Wen Ning and remained silent. ¡®The man smiled and said, ¡°Since you¡¯ve made your request, you should know how much it costs to help you accomplish this!¡± Yan Heng nodded. ¡°Sky High Group is yours now!¡± ¡°Can you bear to part with it?¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing I can¡¯t bear to part with!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll help you with this!¡± After receiving this man¡¯s promise, Yan Heng seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He did not say anything else and got up to leave with Wen Ning. However, Yan Heng seemed to have forgotten about the bag beside the man¡¯s hand. ¡°Wait, this woman stays!¡± Chapter 32 - You Cant Afford to Bear the Consequences Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡®Wen Ning was stunned. She looked at the middle-aged man in shock, then at Yan Heng. She suddenly thought of the reason why Yan Heng wanted her to go on a business trip with him. ¡®Was it just to discuss something with this person? Although Wen Ning could not tell what the two of them had discussed, she figure out that Yan Heng was asking for help! And they had already reached some sort of agreement. In other words, her presence wouldn¡¯t affect Yan Heng¡¯s deal with the other party. Yet Yan Heng had brought her here. Could it be that he wanted to use her as an additional bargaining chip? ¡®Wen Ning had heard about sexual bribery before, but she had never thought that she would one day become the subject of such a deal! ¡®That man looked at Wen Ning with a gaze full of blatant possessiveness. Obviously, he felt that since Yan Heng asked for his help, Yan Heng would definitely not reject such a small matter! Yan Heng slowly turned around and looked at the man. ¡°I advise you not to think about this anymore. I¡¯ll have you know that you¡¯re definitely not the only one who can help me!¡± Yan Heng then grabbed Wen Ning¡¯s hand and left. ¡®Wen Ning¡¯s anxiety and despair were instantly replaced by elation. So she had thought too much. Yan Heng was not that kind of person! ¡°Who was that person just now?¡± After leaving the nightclub, Wen Ning asked Yan Heng about the identity of the person just now. ¡°Someone with a little power in his hands.¡± Yan Heng¡¯s answer reminded Wen Ning of the crisis that Sky High Group had been facing in the past few days. It seemed like he was looking for this person to resolve the crisis of the Sky HIgh Group. ¡°Then¡­ why did you bring me here?¡± I don¡¯t seem to have been involved in this at all, right? ¡°It¡¯s too tiring to drive alone. If you¡¯re beside me, you can talk to me. That¡¯s all!¡± Wen Ning was instantly infuriated. ¡°Are you crazy! * After arriving at the hotel, Yan Heng booked two rooms. After taking a shower, Wen Ning got ready to sleep. However, just as she walked out of the bathroom, she found Yan Heng sitting on her bed. ¡°How did you get in?¡± Wen Ning asked with her eyes wide open and a look of panic on her face. At the same time, she tightened her towel, worried that it would fall off. ¡°You didn¡¯t close the door!¡± Yan Heng lied. Actually, he was the one who asked the service staff to open the door. ¡°Really?¡± Wen Ning asked doubtfully. She felt she shouldn¡¯t have been so careless. However, Wen Ning soon realized that it was not the time to think about this. ¡°Even if the door isn¡¯t closed, please leave now. I want to rest!¡± Wen Ning said righteously. ¡°Lhave something to say. I¡¯ll leave after I¡¯m done,¡± Yan Heng said. ¡°I heard from Song Xinjie that you¡¯re looking for information on the Qiyu Group. Is that true?¡± Wen Ning did not expect Song Xinjie to tell Yan Heng about this so quickly. ¡°Yes, I did. Didn¡¯t the Qiyu Group terminate their cooperation with the Sky High Group? I¡¯m a little curious.¡± Yan Heng smiled. ¡°Is it really just¡­ because you¡¯re curious?¡± ¡°Then what else do you think it could have been about?¡± Wen Ning would not tell Yan Heng that she wanted to find out the truth behind the Wen Family¡¯s downfall. Yan Heng remained silent for a while before saying, ¡°Put away your curiosity. Don¡¯t investigate the Qiyu Group anymore! You can¡¯t afford to bear the consequences!¡± Chapter 33 - Bankruptcy Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios This was the first time Yan Heng spoke to her in such a serious tone. However, Wen Ning did not take it to heart. ¡°If there¡¯s nothing else, please get out.¡± Wen Ning felt that Yan Heng was looking at her strangely. It felt as if¡­ he could push her onto the bed anytime. Yan Heng nodded and left the room. Wen Ning checked the door again and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that everything was alright. She was a little suspicious as to why Yan Heng left the room without doing anything else. Did he come to her room just to tell her about the Qiyu Group? Wen Ning heaved a sigh of relief. For some reason, she also felt a sense of disappointment. It was as though she had hoped that Yan Heng would do something to her. Over the next few days, Yan Heng brought Wen Ning to many places in Spring City. Wen Ning did not know any of the people they met. However, from their words and actions, Wen Ning could tell that they were not ordinary people. During this time, Wen Li had also called Wen Ning a few times to ask when she was going back. However, the answer that Wen Ning got from Yan Heng was¡­ to wait a few more days! That wait lasted for a week. Just as Wen Ning was getting impatient and was about to suggest that she should go back first, Su He suddenly called Wen Ning and told her that the finances of the project collaboration between Sky High Group and the Wen Corporation had all been paid. Wen Ning was rather surprised. That shouldn¡¯t be the case! The collaboration had not ended yet. Why did the other party finish paying in advance? What did the other party¡­ or Yan Heng mean? With this money, not only would the Wen Family survive the crisis, but the company would also be able to resume operations! This also meant that Wen Ning could leave Sky High Group. Could it be that Yan Heng wanted to use this method to subtly tell her that she could leave? Wen Ning was a little disappointed. She decided to ask him face to face. However, Yan Heng did not answer Wen Ning¡¯s question. Instead, he told her that they could return to Yunhai City in the afternoon. On the way back, the two of them fell into silence. Yan Heng drove without saying a word while Wen Ning sat in the passenger seat, looking out of the car window with a heavy heart. After some time, Wen Ning broke the silence. ¡°After I go back¡­ can I leave the company?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Yan Heng¡¯s reply was extremely curt. Wen Ning was also extremely disappointed. She suppressed the disappointment in her heart and said calmly, ¡°Then I¡¯ll go back and pack up. Do I need to submit my resignation letter?¡± Yan Heng smiled. ¡°No need. Just take it as I¡¯m firing you. You can also receive compensation.¡± Wen Ning knew that Yan Heng was joking with her, but she felt as if he was saying goodbye. The car stopped outside the company building, Yan Heng handed the car keys to Wen Ning and said, ¡°We¡¯ve known each other for so long, but I¡¯ve never given you a present before. This car is for you. At least¡­ it¡¯ll be easier to accept a gift when it¡¯s a means of transportation.¡± Then, without waiting for Wen Ning to reject, Yan Heng tured around and entered the company. ¡®Wen Ning felt that something was wrong with Yan Heng. Yan Heng¡¯s behavior today was too abnormal. Thinking about how she still had things left in the office, Wen Ning took the key and walked back into the office. Upon entering the office, Wen Ning realized that the atmosphere in the office was strange as well. There were fewer employees and everyone was looking at her strangely. Of course, after the incident about the ¡°illegitimate child¡¯, everyone¡¯s gaze towards her had never been normal, so Wen Ning did not think too much about it. The door to the CEO¡¯s office was not closed properly, leaving an opening. Just as Wen Ning was about to push open the door and enter, Song Xinjie¡¯s voice sounded from inside. ¡°Boss, what do we do now? Gather the media and declare bankruptcy?¡± ¡°Announce it!¡± Chapter 34 - Ill Take Care of You Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Bankruptcy? ¡®Wen Ning¡¯s eyes widened in shock. She then pushed the office door open and entered. ¡°What¡¯s going on? The company was doing well. Why did it have to declare bankruptcy?¡± Yan Heng and Song Xinjie looked at Wen Ning together, their faces filled with surprise. Song Xinjie cast a glance at Yan Heng again, as if asking him what to do. Yan Heng nodded at Song Xinjie, who understood and left the office. ¡°Who told you that the company is doing well?¡± Yan Heng looked at Wen Ning and said with an indifferent expression, ¡°Many companies have already announced the cancellation of cooperation with Sky High Group. Don¡¯t you know about this?¡± Wen Ning said in surprise, ¡°But¡­ that won¡¯t create much of an impact on Sky High Group, right?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t create an impact? You¡¯re thinking too simply! When those companies announced that they would be terminating their collaboration with Sky High Group, other companies started following suit. Although they didn¡¯t terminate their collaboration immediately, they had already withdrawn all the funds they had placed on the projects! The company¡¯s cash flow is now broken¡­¡± Hearing Yan Heng¡¯s explanation, Wen Ning suddenly had a strange feeling. Why did this method of suppressing a company¡­ seem so similar to what happened to the Wen Family back then? ¡°So, now that the company is out of money, I¡¯ve invested all my assets in order to fill up the hole in the company¡¯s funds. The car is the only valuable thing I have left, and I¡¯m giving it to you!¡± Yan Heng shrugged. ¡°In a sense, I have already become a penniless pauper!¡± ¡°But¡­ but¡­¡± Wen Ning was a little anxious by Yan Heng¡¯s words.¡± If you can single-handedly create Sky High Group Group, is there no other way? By the way, I¡¯ll get the Wen Family to withdraw the funds that you paid in advance and return them to you¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no point in doing that. The money that Sky High Group owes isn¡¯t something that the Wen Family can make up for. As for the solution¡­ haven¡¯t I been looking for help in Spring City recently? What a pity¡­ sigh¡­¡± Yan Heng heaved a deep sigh. Looking at the guilty-looking Wen Ning, a sly look flashed across his eyes. Wen Ning did not notice this. At this point, she was already blaming herself for Yan Heng¡¯s words. It must be because of her that Sky High Group was under so much pressure. Of course, she knew who was the mastermind behind this suppression. It was the He family! Without her, Yan Heng would marry He Mulan, and with the help of the He family, Sky High Group would be in better shape. But this possibility had changed because of her! Looking at the dejected Yan Heng, Wen Ning felt even more guilty. ¡°Then¡­ what do you plan to do in the future?¡± ¡°What else can I do? Find a job and work hard to pay back the money owed!¡± Yan Heng sighed. Taking another peek at Wen Ning¡¯s expression, Yan Heng continued, ¡°Actually¡­ I understand what the He family is trying to do. They just want me to apologize to He Mulan! But¡­ I can¡¯t stand the thought of kneeling in front of that woman and begging for forgiveness! I¡¯d rather beg than give that woman a chance to mock me!¡± As soon as Wen Ning heard this, she blurted out, ¡°You don¡¯t have to beg! I¡¯ll take care of you!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Ning regretted it. Was she too impulsive? Besides, would saying this hurt his pride? After all¡­ Yan Heng had always been a prideful man. After being teased by her, he would retaliate on the spot. To Wen Ning¡¯s surprise, Yan Heng¡¯s eyes lit up and he nodded without hesitation. ¡°sure!¡± Wen Ning suddenly felt as though she had been scammed. Chapter 35 - The First Day of Living Together Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Come in!¡± Wen Ning opened her own villa and invited Yan Heng into the house awkwardly. Looking at the furnishings in the room, Yan Heng raised his eyebrows and said, ¡°The furnishings here¡­ haven¡¯t changed much. But¡­ it¡¯s been a long time since anyone has stayed here, right?¡± Yan Heng had visited Wen Ning¡¯s house many times when he was young, so he was very familiar with everything in the villa. ¡®Wen Ning nodded. ¡°After I returned to the country, I stayed at Feifei¡¯s house with Wen Li. After all, it¡¯s more convenient, with her around to take care of him.¡± Yan Heng nodded and said, ¡°Now, you and Wen Li can come back to live here. I¡¯m jobless now, so I have a lot of time to take care of Wen Li.¡± Wen Ning hesitated for a moment before saying, ¡°Feifei is taking good care of him. You can just stay here peacefully with no one else living here.¡± ¡®When Yan Heng heard that, he stood up and shook his head. ¡°In that case, I won¡¯t disturb you. I¡¯ll go to a random park or a trash can to stay in. After all¡­ I¡¯m still not used to accepting others¡¯ charity with a clear conscience.¡± Hearing this, Wen Ning felt helpless. What she was most afraid of was hurting Yan Heng¡¯s fragile self-esteem. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll bring Wen Li back to stay. For the next period of time, I¡¯ll have to trouble you to take care of Wen Li!¡± ¡°No problem!¡± Yan Heng immediately grinned. ¡®When she called Jiang Feifei and told her that she wanted to take Wen Li home, Jiang Feifei was also surprised. ¡°Has your father woken up?¡± ¡°Not yet¡­¡± Wen Ning did not know how to explain to Jiang Feifei that Yan Heng had moved into her house. Should she tell her that they might have to maintain this ¡°cohabitation¡± arrangement in the future? She found a random excuse to cover up this matter. Wen Ning also told herself that when the company did well, she would help Yan Heng buy a house that was similar to his previous villa and retum his favor. At that time, she would be able to get Yan Heng to move out without feeling guilty. It was Wen Ning¡¯s first day back at the Wen Corporation. When everyone in the company had left, she was still at work. It wasn¡¯t that she was busy with work, but¡­ she didn¡¯t know how to face Yan Heng, who was waiting for her at home. This feeling was like a husband waiting for his wife to come home from work. It was very strange! It also made Wen Ning feel at a loss. It was not until Wen Li called and asked Wen Ning when she was returning that Wen Ning packed her things and drove home. She would have to face it sooner or later. ¡°Tm back!¡± After opening the door, Wen Ning tried her best to make her greeting sound more natural. Wen Li jumped down from the sofa and threw himself into Wen Ning¡¯s arms. Wen Li spoke very little. The way he expressed his love was usually this heart-warming hug. Since Yan Heng did not appear, Wen Ning was a little puzzled. She then asked Wen Li softly, ¡°Where¡¯s Uncle?¡± Wen Li pointed in the direction of the kitchen, but before he could retract his little finger, Yan Heng had already walked out of the kitchen with a plate. ¡°You¡¯ve worked hard. Let¡¯s eat!¡± Wen Ning nodded. This feeling of being family grew stronger! Especially when the three of them sat at the dining table and ate together. At one point, Wen Ning even thought of telling Yan Heng that Wen Li was Yan Heng¡¯s biological son. However, this thought only flashed through her mind for a moment before she dismissed it. If she told him now, wouldn¡¯t it be a greater blow? He had just lost his company, his everything. How would he react to fathering a son he didn¡¯t know he had? During dinner time, Wen Ning had countless thoughts flashing through her mind. After dinner, Wen Ning coaxed Wen Li to sleep and returned to her room. Lying on the bed, she felt exhausted. It was just a meal but it seemed even more tiring than handling documents for a day! There would be many more days like this in the future. How should she adapt? Ina trance, Wen Ning heard a click. Her eyes widened instantly and she looked towards the door. The door was pushed open and Yan Heng walked in with a towel wrapped around him.. Chapter 36 - A Gift For Yan Heng Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°What¡­ what are you doing?¡± ¡®Wen Ning widened her eyes and questioned Yan Heng in a low voice. She was afraid of waking Wen Li who was sleeping in the next room. ¡°What am I doing? You left with my son for four years and you still have the cheek to ask me what I¡¯m doing?¡± Yan Heng¡¯s tone was a little gloomy. ¡°Since you like having my children so much, I¡¯ll satisfy you. Isn¡¯t it better to have a few more children?¡± After saying that, Yan Heng pulled off the towel and threw himself onto the bed. ¡°Ah! Go away, go away!¡± Wen Ning screamed. However, Yan Heng actually used his strength to suppress Wen Ning. He held onto both of Wen Ning¡¯s arms and pressed her body down. ¡®Wen Ning struggled with all her might, but Yan Heng took the opportunity to push her legs apart. ¡°Don¡¯t do this! Yan Heng, let go of me!¡± Wen Ning¡¯s struggles were getting weaker and weaker. Yan Heng held Wen Ning¡¯s arms with one hand and pulled down her pajama pants with the other. Yan Heng placed his hand in front of Wen Ning and said, ¡°You¡¯re still denying it? Your body doesn¡¯t think that way!¡± ¡®Wen Ning blushed at the sticky liquid on Yan Heng¡¯s finger. ¡°No¡­ this is just a normal physiological reaction! Let go of me!¡± ¡°Is that so? Then let your reaction become even fiercer!¡± After Yan Heng said that, he pushed his lower body forward! Wen Ning instantly felt a sense of fulfillment. ¡®Wen Ning got a great shock and turned around to see Yan Heng standing behind her with a smirk. ¡°Do you have a death wish! Why are you standing here silently? Are you a ghost?¡± Wen Ning pretended to be angry and whispered. Could this guy have discovered something? Did he hear the sound she made just now? Wen Ning¡¯s face turned red instantly. ¡°I¡­ I have work to do. Can¡¯t I work overtime until now?¡± ¡°Is that so?¡± Yan Heng smiled and walked towards Wen Ning. He took a deep breath and said, ¡°Hmm¡­ it smells good. Much better than being covered in sweat.¡± ¡°Who¡¯s covered in sweat? You¡­ stay away from me!¡± Yan Heng¡¯s breath landed on Wen Ning¡¯s face, and she could not help but recall the scene from her dream. ¡®Wen Ning felt that her lower body was wet again¡­ Oh no! The shower just now was for nothing. ¡°L.. I¡¯m going to bed. I still have work tomorrow.¡± After pushing Yan Heng away, Wen Ning hurriedly tumed around and walked into the room before slamming the door shut. Looking at the tightly shut door, Yan Heng smiled. This woman whom he had known growing up is getting more and more interesting! * ¡°Miss Wen, Sky High Group has entered bankruptcy. According to the process, Sky High Group might hold an asset auction next week. Are we participating?¡± ¡°Mm¡­ let¡¯s participate.¡± After Wen Ning sent her assistant away, she looked at the documents in her hands and fell into deep thought.. If she bought Sky High Group and gave it back to Yan Heng, how would he react? Chapter 37 - The Worst Decision Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios In the following week, Wen Ning started planning her bid for Sky High Group. As the original CEO of Sky High Group, Yan Heng seemed to have forgotten about the business empire he had built himself. Apart from taking Wen Li out every day, he spent the rest of his time at home either watching TV or cooking. It looked like he had completely lost his will to fight. And Yan Heng¡¯s state made Wen Ning¡¯s heart ache a little. This man had been so proud since he was young. When had he ever given up on himself like this? Hence, the greater the contrast between his present and past self, the more guilty she felt. Every day, when she returned home and saw Yan Heng busy with household matters, Wen Ning¡¯s tone became much gentler when talking to him. It was finally time for the auction. Wen Ning brought a few subordinates to attend the auction. To her surprise, she bumped into Yan Heng at the entrance of the venue. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Wen Ning asked in surprise. Yan Heng also looked at Wen Ning in surprise. But he recovered quickly and was smiling as he said, ¡°If my own company is going to be sold, it¡¯s normal for me to come and take a look, right?¡± ¡°Good! So tough! I hope you can still smile after I buy your company! Mulan, let¡¯s go!¡± He Zhengyi brought He Mulan into the venue. ¡®Wen Ning knew that her plan to bid for the Qingyun Group today was going to fail. Judging from the attitude of the He family just now, they were determined to win at all costs. Compared to the He family, the Wen family was too insignificant. As expected, once the auction started, the He family didn¡¯t give anyone a chance. The opening bid from He Zhengyi was a hundred million dollars, which scared away most of the companies intending to participate in the auction. The auctioneer reminded him, ¡°Mr. He, I have to remind you that Sky High Group¡¯s real value is no longer worth this price! Have you thought it through before you bid?¡± ¡°T¡¯ve thought it through!¡± He Zhengyi smiled confidently. ¡°It¡¯s just 100 million. I can afford it!¡± ¡°Alright! Is there anyone here who can exceed Mr. He¡¯s bid? No? Deal! Congratulations, Mr. He!¡± He Zhengyi laughed out loud. He Mulan also looked at Yan Heng smugly¡­ Her expression seemed to be telling Yan Heng that breaking off the engagement was the worst decision he had made in his life! Chapter 38 - Trap Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡®Wen Ning did not know how Yan Heng felt. The business empire that he had built was destroyed by someone else and eventually bought over by his enemy. If this had happened to her, Wen Ning would definitely want to fight it out with the other party. But when she looked at Yan Heng beside him, he still had a calm expression on his face. It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him. ¡°Yan Heng, don¡¯t you regret it?¡± He Zhengyi, who had completed the procedures, came to Yan Heng with a smug look. ¡°On account of our relationship back then, I can give you a chance. Apologize to my daughter and promise to leave this woman forever. Not only will I give you the company, I will also promise to fully support the development of your company and restore it to its former scale!¡± Right after He Zhengyi said that, the onlookers were all envious. ¡°Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, the He family is so confident! They spent so much money just to make Yan Heng bow down to them! Sigh, why isn¡¯t the He family¡¯s daughter interested in me?¡± ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re not as handsome as Yan Heng. Besides, do you think he only likes Yan Heng¡¯s appearance? He also likes Yan Heng¡¯s ability! A person who can build a newly-established company into a business empire in four years can definitely bring more benefits to the He family!¡± ¡°You¡­¡± He Zhengyi stared at Yan Heng with wide eyes. In the end, his hands trembled as he opened the document Yan Heng handed him. The more he read, the more his hands trembled. He Zhengyi knew the friend that Yan Heng was talking about. He was a big shot in Spring City. It was impossible to take back the ownership of Sky High Building from him! ¡°Dad, what¡¯s wrong? What¡¯s written here?¡± He Mulan also noticed that something was wrong. He Zhengyi did not seem to have heard his daughter¡¯s words. He stared at Yan Heng. ¡°You¡­ You¡­ Pfft!¡± He Zhengyi spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed weakly. ¡°Dad!¡± The He family was in a mess.. Chapter 39 - Revenge Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios He Zhengyi was taken in an ambulance. The representatives from the various companies who were watching the commotion also left. Yan Heng¡¯s counterattack made everyone shudder in fear. He had tricked his opponent on the sly! If it were them, they would probably also vomit blood from anger. Wen Ning did not leave. She just looked at Yan Heng in shock with countless thoughts flashing through her mind. She had sympathized with Yan Heng previously, but now that she looked at it again, she felt like a joke! Not only did this guy fool the He family, but he also fooled her with his superb acting skills! ¡®Wen Ning felt that she deserved it! She had gone against Yan Heng so many times since she was young and always suffered a loss. It had only been four years and she had already forgotten how detestable Yan Heng was. She felt she had thought too highly of herself! Yan Heng could tell that there was something wrong with Wen Ning¡¯s expression. He looked at Wen Ning innocently and asked, ¡°What do you want to eat tonight? I¡¯ll go back early to make it.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t touch me!¡± Wen Ning slapped Yan Heng¡¯s hand away and took a few steps back. The assistant who came with Wen Ning hurried forward to comfort her. ¡®Wen Ning pushed everyone away and left with a sullen expression. Wen Ning did not retum to the office. Instead, she went to the kindergarten early to pick Wen Li up. Then, she brought Wen Li to Jiang Feifei¡¯s house. ¡°Wen Ning, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you back?¡± While Jiang Feifei was very surprised by Wen Ning¡¯s appearance. she still happily picked Wen Li up. ¡°Baby Wen Li, did you miss your godmother?¡± At He Zhengyi¡¯s funeral, He Mulan cried her heart out. ¡®As He Zhengyi¡¯s friend, Mayor Wu Zhengxin had also arrived. After offering a wreath, Wu Zhengxin patted He Mulan¡¯s shoulder. ¡°I had a good relationship with your father when he was alive. If you need anything, you can come to me! I¡¯ll definitely help you!¡± He Mulan raised her head to look at Wu Zhengxin. At this moment, Mayor Wu had a refined expression on his face, just like how her father had looked at her when he was alive. He Mulan felt that she had found someone she could rely on again, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. After the funeral, He Mulan drove to Mayor Wu¡¯s house. ¡°Uncle Wu, I want revenge! I want those two to pay the price!¡± ¡®Wu Zhengxin smiled. ¡°It¡¯s easy to take revenge! But why should I help you?¡± He Mulan was surprised. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say¡­¡± ¡°Yes. Your father and I have a good relationship because he could give me what I want. What can you give me?¡± ¡®Wu Zhengxin walked to He Mulan. He Mulan panicked. ¡°I¡­ I can give you money¡­¡± ¡°Hahaha, money? I don¡¯t need it!¡± Wu Zhengxin¡¯s face suddenly turned ferocious. ¡°The things I want, your entire He family can¡¯t give me!¡± With that, Wu Zhengxin took off his belt, pressed He Mulan¡¯s head down, and pushed her under his body! Then his lower body began to move. He Mulan coughed violently. Chapter 40 - Photos Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Wen Ning had been paying attention to news related to Yan Heng recently. She was worried that the He family would take revenge on Yan Heng. However, the He family seemed to have been dealt a heavy blow by Yan Heng. With three billion in debt and He Zhengyi¡¯s unexpected death, the He family was in danger. Yan Heng¡¯s next move made the people of Yunhai City realize how powerful he was! Most of the debt of three billion yuan had been secretly controlled by Yan Heng. In other words, Yan Heng created a debt of three billion, and then transferred the debt to the He family. After the He family spent a hundred million yuan to buy the debt, Yan Heng earned six billion! According to the rules, the He family had to pay out the three billion yuan debt. After the three billion yuan debt was paid, the He family had to declare bankruptcy! Yan Heng bought back the Sky High Group and the He family¡¯s corporation! His feat made everyone in Yunhai City respect and fear him! ¡°Miss Wen, Sky High Group has a collaboration project and just sent us an invitation¡­¡± ¡°No, we¡¯re not taking it.¡± Wen Ning rejected without hesitation. ¡°CEO Wen, Sky High Group¡¯s general manager, Song Xinjie, wants to meet you in the afternoon¡­¡± ¡°No, I¡¯m not meeting him.¡± ¡°CEO Wen¡­¡± In just one morning, Wen Ning had rejected countless requests regarding Sky High Group. Her attitude towards Sky High Group also baffled the people in the company. If this collaboration was successful, it would bring a lot of profit to the company. ¡®Wen Ning opened the envelope curiously, after which her face grew sullen. In the photo, Yan Heng was lying on the bed with his upper body naked, and his arm was around He Mulan, who was also naked. In the different pictures, He Mulan was also in different poses. It seemed that she was taking selfies with her phone. Yan Heng seemed to have fallen asleep from exhaustion after completing the act with He Mulan. Wen Ning¡¯s emotions were in a mess. Since He Mulan was Yan Heng¡¯s fianc¨¦e, it was normal for the two of them to take such photos! Furthermore, there was no relationship between her and Yan Heng in name! But why did she feel so terrible? ¡®When was this taken? In the past two days? ¡®Wen Ning took a sip of water to calm herself down. ¡°What do you wish to achieve by showing me these?¡± ¡°Haha, didn¡¯t you ask me what¡¯s wrong with my face? To tell you the truth, this is Yan Heng¡¯s doing! When he was playing adult games with me, he had some perverted hobbies! And this is his masterpiece! He doesn¡¯t love you at all! He¡¯s only with you to play with your feelings!¡± Wen Ning clenched her fists tightly and said, ¡°What¡¯s the point of telling me this? There¡¯s nothing going on between us! So, please stop looking for me!¡± ¡°Tknew you would say that!¡± He Mulan sneered. ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to leave him, don¡¯t blame me for being rude!¡± ¡°What do you want?¡± Wen Ning asked. Suddenly her vision went dark and she lost consciousness..
