chapter 21

Because of the second male lead Bai Zhe’s schemes, the male lead Song Mo’s company was facing a crisis. Only because his mother’s dying threats and because he was winding down a dead-end road, did he finally remember that he still had a rich fiancee of high-status. The reason Song Mo chose to get married with Xia Fengguang was not because he loved her. However, the original Xia Fengguang in the novel didn’t know this and genuinely believed that Song Mo realized his love for her. As a result, five years later at the airport, her anger exploded when she saw Qiu Niannian carrying along a mini Song Mo look-alike son. After all, she was Song Mo’s legal wife and still without a child.

Fengguang very rarely thought of the original storyline but that didn’t mean she completely erased the details in her memory. Song Mo belonged to the aggressive, dominant CEO type. Even though he went through five years of marriage, he never loved Xia Fengguang at all. Now that he knew that Qiu Niannian was pregnant with his child, he wouldn’t be able to convince her to be his lover with ease.

Before he arrived, he had discussed with Qiu Niannian how he would only love her while Xia Fengguang was only his pawn. But he could have never guessed that Qiu Niannian would choose to leave him after she found out she was pregnant.

Song Mo’s heart wavered.

Fengguang felt a sliver of satisfaction. The second female lead was not an existence for the purpose of being tortured over the male lead.

Xia Chao let out a smile like an old fox. “Who is Qiu Niannian?”

“They’re a mutual friend Song Mo and I share.” Fengguang gave a meaningful look towards Song Mo. “Isn’t that right?”

“…Yes.” Song Mo’s gaze darkened.

Fengguang cocked her head with a smile. “Oh right, Song Mo, what did you say you needed to do while visiting?”

“Nothing. Uncle Xia, excuse me. I have something to do right now. Goodbye.” Just as he came, he left with the same cold expression.

“I will announce the news today that your marriage plans with Song Mo will be cancelled.”

As she listened to his words, Fengguang stared at Xia Chao with surprise. “Weren’t you hoping for us to get married?”

“Playing around with women is one thing but leaving his seeds around is a whole other matter.” This was the first time Xia Chao exhibited his decisive, cold-hearted business side at home.

In their circle, how many men didn’t like to have women on the side? In the perspective of others, these women were considered part of having a pleasurable lifestyle but everyone knows that only the main wife could bear children. Passing on the bloodline or offering the position of heir to bastards born outside of the family was an extremely stupid thing to do.

Xia Chao once admired Song Mo’s ruthless methods and never imagined he would be ruined at the hands of a normal girl. Judging from his reaction, Song Mo was not planning to make Qiu Niannian’s child disappear. Even if Xia Chao helped Fengguang get rid of Qiu Niannian’s child, this kind of incident would likely repeat. There was no guarantee that there wouldn’t be a second Qiu Niannian and child appearing again.

Song Mo was simply too stupid.

Yes, very stupid.

If Song Mo had married Xia Fengguang, he would be able to borrow the Xia family’s influence to stabilize Zhanan Corporation’s financial situation. And five years later, not only would Qiu Niannian bring her child back but would also bring along a new flower, the third male lead. Only by joining hands with the third male lead would Song Mo be able to retaliate against Bai Zhe and Yu Li. But now that he didn’t marry Fengguang then naturally, Qiu Niannian wouldn’t leave the country and the third male lead had no reason to appear anymore.

After Xia Chao left, Fengguang continued to sit on the swing and once the clock struck 6 o’clock, Bai Zhe appeared. He was late by an hour compared to previous nights. He also knew that his lateness would cause the miss to be unhappy so he also brought a gift with him.
