Ji Wan thought Zhou Zechuan was a light in her life. She willingly hid her brilliance and entered into a secret marriage with him for two years, content to be his kept woman. However, she didn'...
Chapter 430: Announcing the Twins
Zhao Xiyue tightened her arms around her daughter, lowered her head, and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Chi."
Chi Wenyan stood up and looked at Zhao Xiyue, saying solemnly, "I should thank you. Nian Nian, you will be my daughter from now on."
This promise is worth more than a thousand gold.
The news was quickly released through the official channels of the Chi Group, instantly detonating the entire upper class society and major media.
"President Chi is blessed with twins! He's a winner in life."
"A new baby has arrived to the wealthy family! The Chi family's heir's position is secure."
"The mysterious Mrs. Chi finally shows up? A mother's status is determined by her son."
The noise and speculation from the outside world did not affect the tranquility in the ward at all.
After Chi Wenyan finished handling the follow-up matters and returned to the ward, his face had become more cold.
His cell phone rang at the right time. It was his assistant Assistant Chen calling.
Chi Wenyan walked to the window and picked up the phone. After listening for a moment, his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a knife, and an oppressive chill emanated from his body.
"Have you found him?" His voice was low, but filled with cold murderous intent.
There was a positive reply from the other end of the phone.
"Keep an eye on it, I'll go there myself." Chi Wenyan hung up the phone, his finger bones turning slightly white from being pinched.
Ji Wan keenly noticed his mood change: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Chi Wenyan turned around, the ice in his eyes had not yet completely melted, but when facing Ji Wan, it had eased a lot.
"A little personal matter." He walked up to Ji Wan and gently stroked her hair. "The manager of the casino that almost got me into trouble has been found."
Ji Wan's heart sank. The person who put Chi Wenyan in danger!
Chi Wenyan's eyes were cold without a trace of warmth: "Debts owed must always be repaid. You and Xiyue have a good rest, I'll be back soon."
His tone was calm, yet it carried a sense of impending doom. The appearance of the gambling manager meant that Chi Wenyan's long-held anger had finally found an outlet.
A belated reckoning is about to begin.
Chi Wenyan dealt with the casino manager's matter swiftly and decisively, and when he returned to the exclusive ward area on the top floor of the hospital with a chill, it was already late at night.
He pushed open the door of the ward with light footsteps, but was surprised to find that the light in the living room was still on.
The new confinement nanny, Sister Li, was pacing gently in the living room with the crying Nian Nian in her arms, while another younger figure, wearing an inappropriate light pink home suit, was clumsily trying to adjust Yaoyao's sleeping position in the incubator.
This young confinement nanny is called Xiaoya. She was sent by the confinement center to replace the previous nanny who had to go home for some urgent business. She has been here for only two days.
He has a handsome face and looks young. He is very hardworking, but his eyes always have a restless and lively look.
Chi Wenyan's brows knitted slightly. He took off his coat, handed it to the bodyguard who came over, and walked straight to the incubator.
"Sir, you're back." Xiaoya immediately stopped and turned around, with just the right amount of shyness and courtesy on her face.
"Young Master Yaoyao seemed a little uncomfortable just now. I'll see if I can help him sleep better."
Her voice was so soft that it could squeeze water out of it, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at Chi Wenyan's handsome face.
Chi Wenyan's eyes fell on his son's quiet little face. After confirming that he was fine, he glanced at Xiaoya calmly, his voice devoid of emotion: "Sister Li is looking after the child. You go and rest."
Sister Li, experienced and aware of something amiss, quickly came over with Nian Nian in her arms to smooth things over, "Yes, Xiaoya, it's late. You should go to bed. I'm here. My husband just got back and must be tired too."
Xiaoya bit her lower lip, seeming a little unwilling, but still nodded obediently: "Okay, Sister Li, good night, sir."
When she turned and left, her waist seemed to twist inadvertently, bringing with it a faint fragrance.
Chi Wenyan's eyes turned a little colder.
In the next few days, Xiaoya's little movements became more and more obvious.
Ji Wan spent most of his time resting in his bedroom, and when Chi Wenyan was not handling official business, he would stay by his wife and children's side.
Xiaoya always finds various excuses to appear in front of Chi Wenyan.
Either she would bring the cut fruit to him and her fingertips would "accidentally" brush against the back of his hand; or when he was reading a document, she would come over and ask him what interesting things had happened to the baby, her body leaning very close to him, and the sweet scent of perfume on her body made Chi Wenyan frown more and more.
That afternoon, Ji Wan fell asleep. Chi Wenyan read emails on the sofa in the living room while Sister Li went to prepare complementary food for the child.
Xiaoya came over with a cup of coffee, a sweet smile on her face: "Sir, you've worked hard, have a cup of coffee to refresh yourself."
She wore a tight dress today, which showed off her youthful and delicate curves.
She bent down and placed the coffee on the tea table in front of Chi Wenyan. Her collar was slightly open, revealing a hint of spring. She did not stand up immediately, but whispered in a tone of admiration and a bit of resentment.
"Sir, you are so kind to your wife. I really envy her."
Chi Wenyan didn't even raise his eyelids, his eyes still fixed on the computer screen, his voice as cold as ice: "Put it down and get out."
Xiaoya's smile froze on her face, and her fingers subconsciously clenched the hem of her skirt. She couldn't believe that this man really ignored her.
Which man doesn't want to be admired by a young and beautiful woman? She mustered up her courage, leaned forward again, and said in a trembling voice, "Sir, I just..."
"Get out." Chi Wenyan finally raised his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife, without a trace of warmth, and his tone was even more cold and piercing. "Do I need to repeat what I said a second time?"
The disgust and warning in that look were like a bucket of ice water, pouring down on Xiaoya's head, turning her face pale and her body cold. She had never seen such a terrifying gaze before, as if it could see through and crush all the dirty thoughts in her heart.
"I...I..." She was so scared that she couldn't utter complete words and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Pack your things and leave immediately. You are not needed here." Chi Wenyan's voice was flat as he pronounced her fate. "Assistant Chen will settle your salary."
Xiaoya staggered back a few steps, tears finally falling. She tried to plead with a sobbing voice, "Sir, I didn't mean to do that. I..."
Chi Wenyan had already retracted his gaze, picked up his phone and dialed the internal line: "Assistant Chen, come up and take one person away, settle the salary, and never hire him."
His tone was eerily calm, as if he was just dealing with a trivial piece of trash.
Xiaoya collapsed to the ground, her face drained of all color. She knew she was finished. Not only had she lost her well-paid job, but she had also offended this incredibly powerful man.
Soon, Assistant Chen walked in with two bodyguards with an expressionless face and made a "please" gesture to Xiaoya.
