My Secretary is a Little Sweet

Within the next two days, Ji Minyu announced her resignation from the post of the Mayor of A City. The promotional transfer, that was due to come through for her, was put on hold indefinitely.

Her actions caused a furore in A City. She would have finished her term in a couple of days’ time anyway. She would then have left A City with honor intact and her head held high. Instead, she ended up resigning.

Most people didn’t know what happened, and those who did, were even more astonished.

The man who created chaos that night, was able to force Ji Minyu into resignation!?

What tremendous power!

What was more, there was a rumor that was going strong in the market, that Family Ji’s Enterprise had lost out on millions of yuan worth of shares, because they had to give them away as compensation for the damage caused by Ji Lili. Due to this, their business reputation was affected and their share prices started to plummet.

Jingsheng Enterprise, on the other hand, was moving from strength to strength.

In addition, the Mayor’s daughter Ji Lili, who used to be socially active, suddenly disappeared out of the public eye. No one had seen her in such a long time.

However, one more person decided to cut off from the limelight around the same time. It was none other than Jing Yiran, the most handsome casanova in A City.

Sitting in a dimly-lit office, Jing Yiran received constant business updates from his men. As more and more messages reached him, his handsome face started to look stressed .

“Second Master, we have lost more than 200 brothers in combat. Our spot in the northern district has been discovered and Zheng Jing and his team have taken them all to the Police Station.”

“Second Master, some small groups rebelled today. They have joined the Dragon Head Association and passed on a lot of our internal trade secrets. The losses are tremendous.”

“Second Master, three of our companies have gone bankrupt, and two have been bought out by Elder Master. Royal Crown has lost a great deal of money because of the incident several days ago and we will not be able to pay our staff any more. Should we fire some employees first? And the embellishments on the third floor will take three more days.”

The luxurious and famous restaurant Royal Crown in A City, belonged to Jing Yiran. He had kept this fact well concealed. Nobody knew that the Royal Crown, which earned so much revenue every single day, would belong to the Second Master of Family Jing. They always thought that all Jing Yiran did was wile away his time, chasing women.

Jing Yiran’s face sunk. After thinking for a while, he nodded. “Fire half of the employees first. As for the embellishments, make sure that that the new look of the restaurant and the banquet hall is far more luxurious than its former version. No trace of the fight should be visible anywhere.”

Thanks to Jing Yichen and his men who shot at people and tortured them unscrupulously, at The Royal Crown, the hotel had lost a lot of its repute. People swore never to go there again. They were scared for their lives.

Royal Crown had a lot of security. Staff and cameras guarded this place, all day, everyday. Despite all this, Jing Yichen was able to destroy this place and bring it’s reputation to dirt.

He suspected that Jing Yichen was aware that Royal Crown belonged to Jing Yiran, so he had gone out of his way to destroy it completely.

Within a few days’ time, Jing Yiran had lost much more than he could imagine. If things continued to go on like this, the power and good will that he had cultivated with so much effort, would be completely wiped out.

Jing Yiran was taking count of the losses in helpless fury, when his cell-phone rang.

During the past few days, whenever his cell-phone rang, nothing good had come out of it. So whenever he heard it ring, he would be annoyed.

He picked up the cell-phone and asked impatiently, “What is it?”

A gentle and anxious voice of a woman spoke from the other side of the phone. “Ran, come home now. A woman has come home. She is pregnant. She says you are the father!”

Jing Yiran banged the table in frustration, frightening the staff around him. They weren’t sure what made him lose his temper.

“What did you say?!”

He was the father? It was impossible!

“Impossible that I am the father of the child. Throw her out, now!” Jing Yiran said unflinchingly.

But Zhang Rong on the other side of the phone, didn’t think that was a smart thing to do, in the current circumstances. “Ran, you haven’t even taken a look at her. How can you say that the baby isn’t yours? What if it is? This is the offspring of the Jing Family. When the baby is born, your grandparents will be so happy. Maybe even father would pay more attention to you. This is our chance.”

Jing Yiran said in an unpleasant tone, “I said that I am not the father! Why do I need to have a look at her? I won’t take a bastard as my child, just to please someone else!”

“Ran, just come back and have a look. Even if you think that the baby is not yours, you will still have to convince me! Or I will let her stay. You don’t have a girlfriend anyway, and this girl looks quite good too. She says that she comes from a good family. She might be able to help you in the future. If she matches your expectations, you could even marry her!”

Jing Yiran got so annoyed by Zhang Rong that the vein in his forehead looked as if they were going to pop out. His teeth were clenched. “Fine! I will come home now. I will make her understand the consequences that she has to bear, if she makes up such lies! Also, at the risk of repeating myself for the hundredth time, I will be the one to decide to whom I get married and when, so stop pleading with me.”

He disconnected the line angrily. He quickly briefed his staff to fill up for him for the next few hours and left for the Jing villa immediately. He felt suffocated. As if his entire empire was on the verge of crumbling, all at once.

As soon as he arrived home, he spotted a charming, long haired woman, sitting in the living room. The woman stood up instantly at the sight of him and said happily. “Where have you been, Yiran? I feel so relieved to have finally met with you again!”

The woman was slender and wore a red dress. When she was standing here, two things were obvious. Her hot figure and a slightly protruded belly. Apparently, she was pregnant and the baby was his.

Jing Yiran had a blurry memory of her. The thing is that he had been with too many women in the past, to remember who she was. He said indifferently, “Get out of here right now, or your dead body will leave this house. Oh.. make that two dead bodies. Yours and your baby’s.”

The woman’s face turned pale. She tried to hide behind Zhang Rong and said in a sad voice, “Aunt, look at Yiran, he is so unfriendly. That is why I never came to see him earlier, even though I have been pregnant for four months. I was so scared because I knew that this is how he would behave. He is the father of my baby. He shouldn’t disown the baby just because he doesn’t like me.”

Zhang Rong had always hoped that Jing Yiran would become a father before Jing Yichen did. Now that her wish was finally coming true, she wasn’t going to let go of it so easily.

She came to the woman’s aid instantly and consoled her gently,”Don’t be afraid, Chudan, I am here. As long as Yiran is the father, I will definitely make sure that you and the baby are well and fine. He doesn’t make the decisions here.”

Zhang Rong was still talking, when Grandma Mo Lan walked in. She said anxiously, “Well, I heard that a girl is pregnant with Ran’s baby? Where is she? Let me take a good look at her!”

Chudan stepped forward instantly and looked up at the old lady. “Hello, Grandma. I am pregnant with Yiran’s child, but… but he said…”
