Chapter 674: Chapter 674
“That’s out of the question!” Lu Qixi became anxious all at once.
“That high-ranking official is narrow-minded. Since you escaped yesterday, he surely won’t let you off.” Ning Yichen’s hands rested in his pockets. “I’ll call Brother Chen to suspend your work for this period of time and say that you’re ill. Staying here with me is the safest option until things are settled.”
“I can go back to Lugang and stay in, the effect would be the same.” Lu Qixi pursed her lips.
“No,” Ning Yichen refused coldly, “Anywhere but here is unsafe.”
“I’ve told you, I don’t need you to take care of me! Even if I get caught, I’m prepared to face it!” Lu Qixi bit back through gritted teeth.
She didn’t know how many times she had said these words to this man, but it was as if he never heard her!
“Really?” Ning Yichen let out a cold laugh. “When you were sent to that mansion yesterday, did you truly not pray for me to save you? You know very well that among the people you know, I’m the only one who can save you.”
Lu Qixi trembled slightly, her lips tightly pressed, and she could say no more.
“Lu Qixi, don’t be stubborn. My patience is limited,” Ning Yichen said with a cold tone.
Lu Qixi suddenly laughed: “You say your patience is limited every time, but it’s been four years, and I’ve yet to see it run out.”
“Perhaps because…” He pondered for a moment, “you are the only woman I’ve slept with, so, you’ll always be a bit special.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Qixi felt a mix of shame and an indescribable joy.
The only one… Although she knew, the reason was simply that this man was abnormally busy, and there was no other significance.
“To gain so much from just one sleep…” Lu Qixi snorted coldly, “If those women stars who are anxiously climbing up knew, they would probably wish to jump into your bed immediately.”
Ning Yichen’s expression remained cold; as a Secretary at work, he almost always had to wear a smile, so privately, his expressions became rarer.
“So you think you’ve made a profit?” Ning Yichen’s gaze swept over her bare legs, his tone still emotionless and calm, “Would you like to know what you could get by sleeping a few more times?”
Lu Qixi was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at him!
Xiaobao was happily playing with his toy train on the floor, while Zhixi sat beside him, spacing out.
At that moment, Pei Yuanchen returned from outside and nodded at her: “Come here.”
Zhixi walked over in confusion, “What is it?”
Pei Yuanchen tossed her a small box.
She caught it with a puzzled look, then her face flushed red: “How did you know…”
“Seeing you so absent-minded,” Pei Yuanchen snorted with laughter, “Hurry up and check the result. If you’re really pregnant, wouldn’t your chance of taking down He Jingyao be even greater?”
“Shut up!” Zhixi lowered her voice and glared at him, “Whether it’s there or not… You mustn’t tell anyone!”
Pei Yuanchen looked at her disdainfully and walked past her toward Xiaobao: “Come here, little guy, Uncle will play with you.”
…Was this guy’s intuition too sharp or what? It’s terrifying.
Zhixi took a deep breath, holding the pregnancy test stick as she went to the bathroom.
Half an hour later, Zhixi stared at the clearly marked double lines on the pregnancy test stick, and was stupefied.
