Qiao Wanwan clearly sensed that something was wrong and looked at the man beside her with curiosity.

It seems there's more to this than meets the eye!

"Jingting, what happened?" Ruan Wanyi asked curiously, "Didn't you have Eleven because of an accident?"

"It was an accident, that's true, but how it happened is another matter." Zhan Jingting's sharp eyes fixed on Wen Xue's face, a chilling glint in them, as he questioned, "I didn't know it was you that night, but you knew it was me. Didn't you ever think I would suspect you? Or did you think that so much time had passed, there was no way I could possibly find out?"

Wen Xue pursed her lips tightly, her hands clenched into fists, seemingly lost in thought.

"It seems you still don't want to talk about it," Zhan Jingting said calmly. "Jiang Dong, you speak."

Jiang Dong, who was waiting to the side, stepped forward and said, "Miss Wen, after the incident, I went to investigate and found that all the surveillance cameras at the Bosen Hotel had been destroyed, leaving no trace. I expanded the scope and pulled up all the surveillance cameras in the surrounding streets, but still found nothing."

"After discovering that you are the birth mother of the Eleventh Young Master, Master Zhan sent me to continue investigating what happened back then. Fortunately, none of the surveillance footage I retrieved back then had been deleted. We spent two days reviewing the footage again and finally found some clues."

Jiang Dong took out his phone, opened a photo, enlarged it, and placed it on the coffee table in front of Wen Xue. "Miss Wen, this is the man, the director of the Bosen Hotel. He can easily help you get into Master Zhan's room, and afterwards easily erase the hotel's surveillance footage. Even the drug you gave Master Zhan was prepared by this man, wasn't it?"

Qiao Wanwan was taken aback.

Boson Hotel?

What a coincidence!

Her 18th birthday party was also held at this hotel, and the incident happened in her room at this hotel!

Wen Xue remained calm and flatly denied it, "So you're saying that I deliberately plotted to drug Jing Ting back then? I don't accept such a baseless accusation!"

“Miss Wen, whether it’s baseless or not, we can find out by asking this person. Of course, he is your friend and will naturally help you cover it up, but let me make this clear first: once someone falls into the hands of our Master Zhan, few dare not tell the truth.”

"How dare you!" Wen Xue couldn't hide her anger. "Are you threatening me?"

"This is not a threat, but a verification of the facts."

Wen Xue sneered, "According to your logic, if I deliberately drugged Jing Ting, what was my purpose? To threaten him? Or to marry him? Then I should have come to the Zhan family to demand an explanation as soon as I got pregnant, instead of going abroad to give birth and then coming back after Jing Ting got married."

"I'm sure you've all thought in your hearts that I'm coming back with the child to break up Jingting's family, right? If I wanted to become the mistress of the Zhan family, I would have done it long ago, wouldn't I?"

“Not just anyone can be the mistress of this house,” Zhan Jingting said calmly. “Wen Xue, if you want to stay in the capital with the child and send him to Wutong Bay to live with me for a few days every month, it will only affect my normal life and serve no purpose, so I will not agree to it.”

"The choice between the two is the courtesy I'm giving you. If you don't want that courtesy, I can help you choose."

Ruan Wanyi panicked, "Jingting, Eleven is a member of our family, he can't be left to wander outside..."

"This is none of your business," Zhan Jingting interrupted her coldly. "Mom, don't make me repeat myself. My patience is limited."

Ruan Wanyi had no choice but to shut up again.

Wen Xue closed her eyes and gritted her teeth, saying, "Jing Ting, I really didn't expect you to be so resistant to Eleven. If I have to choose one, I will naturally not give up my child. In half a month, I will take Eleven away and never bother your life again!"

"No!" Ruan Wanyi suddenly stood up. "No one is allowed to take my grandson away!"

Zhan Jingting ignored her and looked at Wen Xue instead. "This is my family matter, and I will handle it myself. You can leave now. If you are willing to admit what happened back then, I will think more highly of you. If you are not willing, I will continue to investigate. However, once I have solid evidence, this matter will be difficult to resolve."

“Jingting, things are indeed not going to end well between us, but I have a clear conscience, so investigate me as you see fit.” Wen Xue stood up. “Now, please take me to say goodbye to Eleven.”

Wen Xue glanced at Eleven and quickly left.

Eleven was very well-behaved, didn't cry or make a fuss, and went to eat dinner happily.

That night, Qiao Wanwan lay in bed staring blankly at the ceiling.

Zhan Jingting came out of the bathroom, dried his hair, and lay down next to him. "You've been absent-minded all night. What were you thinking about?"

"Really?" Qiao Wanwan composed herself and asked, "Jing Ting, you said you had a relationship with Wen Xue at the Bosen Hotel back then?"

"Jealous?" Zhan Jingting pinched her cheek. "I told you, it was an accident. She drugged me. I didn't even know that woman was her."

"I wouldn't say I'm jealous... it's just..."

Qiao Wanwan felt a strange mix of emotions. She even had the absurd thought that it would have been wonderful if they had been the ones who accidentally ended up together back then.

"What is it?" Zhan Jingting pressed. "Wanwan, I know you've been wronged, but you should have told me about the pressure my mother put on you."

"You know?" Qiao Wanwan sighed. "Actually, I understand her. You are the one she cares about most, and your child is the second most important. It's normal that she wants me to leave for the sake of Eleven and wants the child to be with his/her dad and mom."

"Don't speak up for her. I won't allow anyone to try to break us up."

Qiao Wanwan smiled and curved her lips into a smile, "No one can break us up. On the contrary, after so many things have happened, I can see even more clearly how much you care about me."

“Wanwan, no matter what happens, it won’t scare me. The only thing I’m afraid of is that you’ll be unhappy.”

Qiao Wanwan thought about it seriously and said, "To be honest, I am a little awkward, but it's not serious. Even if I am really uncomfortable, I can handle it. If I can't handle it, I will definitely tell you. The most important thing between husband and wife is communication, and I will definitely communicate with you in a timely manner."

"That's good." Zhan Jingting kissed her brow, his voice hoarse as he said, "Wanwan, you..."

"What about me?"

The man's voice became hoarse, "Is your period over?"

Qiao Wanwan swallowed nervously, her face turning red to the roots of her ears. "What do you want to do?"

What do you think?

"Not yet..." Qiao Wanwan whispered, "There are still two days left, what's the rush?"

"I'm in a hurry..." The man's thin lips kissed her ear, his deep, gentle voice like aged wine, intoxicating, "I want to have a child with you..."
