Qiao An raised her head and glared at him in disdain. She mocked, “Doctor Li is pursuing a married woman, and his own niece-in-law. Doctor Li’s taste is a little heavy.”

Li Xiaoran’s smile froze. Qiao An stalked off.

Li Xiaoran gazed after Qiao An, his eyes filled with yearning.

He did not expect this girl to be so stunning after dressing up. As expected of the girl Li Xiaoran liked.

At the riverside residence, a Maybach pulled up beside the parking lot on the road.

Not long after, a green sports car stopped beside the Maybach. The door opened and Wei Xin couldn’t wait to get out. She opened the window of the Maybach and got in.

“Brother Zecheng.”

She threw herself into the man’s arms, hugged his face, and kissed him hard.

Li Zecheng, on the other hand, looked distracted. Wei Xin had been pestering him for a long time, so Li Zecheng pushed her away impatiently.

Only then did Wei Xin notice that he was in a bad mood. She asked ingratiatingly, “Brother Zecheng, what’s wrong?”

Li Zecheng said dejectedly, “I need money. Sell the house.”

Wei Xin’s originally happy face was instantly filled with grievance. “Didn’t we already return Qiao An’s money?”

Li Zecheng said, “We have to return Grandpa’s money.”

At this moment, Wei Xin’s mind was filled with plans to become the Young Madam of the Li family. After becoming the Young Madam of the Li family, why would she worry about not having two houses?

Wei Xin burrowed her soft body into Li Zecheng’s arms and hugged his neck tightly. She blinked her smart eyes at Li Zecheng and said sweetly, “Brother Zecheng, since you need money, I’ll get rid of all my assets. I’ll give them to you for emergencies. Don’t be anxious, okay?”

Compared to Qiao An’s aggressive attitude, Wei Xin’s compromise made Li Zecheng feel like he was drinking spring water. He was so touched that he hugged Wei Xin tightly and said, “You’re the best.”

Wei Xin reached out to undo Li Zecheng’s collar. “Brother Zecheng, can you reward me?”

Her voice was soft and boneless, and she leaned against Li Zecheng like a mollusk.

Li Zecheng turned around and pressed her under his body… They were burning.

After that, Li Zecheng warned Wei Xin solemnly, “Don’t forget to take birth control pills.”

Wei Xin looked at him in a daze and carefully probed, “Brother Zecheng, I want a child.”

Only then did Li Zecheng realize that Wei Xin’s actions today were a little abnormal. He reprimanded her with a serious expression. “Wei Xin, don’t mess around. We can’t have children.”

The bubbles of joy in Wei Xin’s heart disappeared instantly. She asked aggrievedly, “Brother Zecheng, do you love me?”

“This has nothing to do with love,” Li Zecheng said fiercely.

Wei Xin told Li Zecheng about Qiao An’s instigation. “Brother Zecheng, if I have your child, Old Master won’t be biased towards Qiao An. When the time comes, you can divorce Qiao An if you want. WhenI have the Li family’s flesh and blood, the child in Qiao An’s stomach wouldn’t be that rare.”

Li Zecheng was furious at Wei Xin’s scheme. He pinched Wei Xin’s chin angrily and said fiercely, “Wei Xin, I remember warning you a long time ago that I could give you a high status and wealth that matched Mrs. Li, but you can’t have children.”

“Why?” Wei Xin roared.

Li Zecheng let go of Wei Xin and did not speak again.

“You don’t love me?” Wei Xin said with difficulty.

Li Zecheng kicked open the car door and went out for some air.

Wei Xin started crying bitterly.

She was tired of crying. She walked to Li Zecheng’s side and hugged him from behind. “Brother Zecheng, don’t be angry.”

She comforted herself. “I know you love me. You gave me a wedding ring and a mansion, but you couldn’t bear to give Qiao An money. I shouldn’t have doubted you.”

Li Zecheng said in a low voice, “It’s good that you know.”

Wei Xin actually didn’t understand. Since Li Zecheng loved her, why didn’t he give her a child?

Yet he gave a child to Qiao An?

She recalled Qiao An telling her confidently, “Li Zecheng can abandon me today, but he can also abandon you in the future.”

Wei Xin’s heart was in turmoil. She felt that Li Zecheng’s love had become illusory and unpredictable.

Li Zecheng glanced at Wei Xin’s indignant expression and explained solemnly, “It’s not that I don’t love you, but our child would be an illegitimate child. This is unfair to him.”

Wei Xin was speechless. Her status as a mistress made her feel humiliated again.

After Wei Xin returned to the city, she went against Li Zecheng’s words for the first time. She did not take the contraceptive pill.

Instead, she bought a pile of early pregnancy test papers. Little did she know that her actions were recorded by a private detective.

The longer Qiao An stayed at Loco’s house, the more Old Master Li was worried that Qiao An would secretly abort the child, so he ordered Li Zecheng to quickly bring Qiao An back.

Li Zecheng was helpless and could only compromise to bring Qiao An home. He blocked Qiao An at Loco’s house and ordered, “Qiao An, come home with me.”

Loco stopped Qiao An from going home. She said to Li Zecheng very rudely, “Li Zecheng, you have a history of domestic violence. Qiao An is pregnant and her life can’t be guaranteed if she lives with you. Qiao An won’t go back with you.”

Li Zecheng’s face darkened.

Did she label him ,a civilized gentleman, a domestic violence man?

But Qiao An kept thinking about her revenge plan. As the saying went, know yourself and know your enemy.

She was willing to risk her life for revenge.

“Coco, don’t worry. I have the Li family’s flesh and blood in my stomach. Even a vicious tiger doesn’t eat its cubs. He won’t dare to touch me for the time being,” Qiao An said.

Li Zecheng’s face darkened again.

What was this damn woman saying? Even if she didn’t have a child, could he really take her cheap life?

Qiao An came in a hurry and had nothing to pack when he left, so she followed Li Zecheng empty-handed.

Loco shouted behind her, “An’an, if he dares to bully you again, call me. You’re welcome at my house anytime.”

Qiao An looked at Loco, tears welling up in her eyes. “Thank you, Coco.”

Li Zecheng looked at their inseparable expressions and his face darkened.

Scowling, he led the way.

Qiao An followed, her head lowered in silence.

They were clearly husband and wife, but the two of them acted like strangers.

It wasn’t until the car drove into the driveway of Star Palace that Qiao An saw Third Madam standing at the door, waiting expectantly. Qiao An’s heart turned cold. Only then did she speak coldly.

“Why is she here?”

Li Zecheng glared at her angrily. “She’s my mother. Can you be more respectful to her?”

“You’re pregnant. My mother said that she’ll live in the Star Palace in the future so that she can take care of you,” Li Zecheng explained.
