Cheng Momo's voice was low, soft, and timid, like a pure and harmless little white rabbit, making one want to pet it a couple of times. Such a pure and innocent woman has a powerful attraction for men, but to other women, she's a standard "white lotus," a "green tea bitch," utterly repulsive.

Seeing Cheng Momo's expression, Qin Feifei's sarcasm deepened. She leaned back lazily on the sofa, quietly observing everything. She wanted to see if Yan Rui could resist the allure and requests of such a beautiful woman; it had to be said, a woman's intuition was terrifyingly accurate.

After returning home, Cheng Momo investigated and found that Yan Rui's background was even more impressive than she had imagined. Mingzhu Company was a well-known cosmetics company in China, specializing in cosmeceuticals and all-natural products with amazing effects. After its launch, it gained immense popularity among women, and Cheng Momo herself was a loyal user of Mingzhu Company's cosmetics.

He only learned later that Yan Rui was the chairman of Mingzhu Company. He was parachuted into the company after graduation and was not initially favored by anyone, but he made Mingzhu Company's stock soar in just three years and gained everyone's recognition.

In some respects, Yan Rui is better than Fang Yuanyi. They are the same age but hold different positions, and Yan Rui doesn't have a group of cousins ​​eyeing him covetously. Mingzhu Company belongs to Yan Rui alone.

Even Cheng Momo herself had to admit that if she had met Yan Rui first, she would have chosen him without hesitation, because he was outstanding enough and she had a childhood bond with him, so she was sure she could win him over.

Now... all she wants to do is take good care of the baby in her womb. Cheng Momo touched her belly, which was not yet showing, and felt complicated.

A month has passed since he left Jiren Hospital. During this time, she has suffered a lot. Since graduation, she has been following Fang Yuanyi and has been well protected by him. She has never been beaten by society. Although she is his secretary, he never has to do any of the work. A group of people are always eager to help.

To supplement his own nutrition and provide the best life for his child, he spent his money like water, with no income and no expenditure, so naturally, his resources were depleted quickly. At this rate, he would soon be unable to afford the rent and would probably be evicted.

In fact, if he were willing to yield and go to Fang Yuanyi, he could receive good care, but he might not be able to keep the child. For the sake of the child, he couldn't give in, and he couldn't bow down to Fang Yuanyi. He had to rely on his own efforts to give birth to the child.

She is currently too weak and unable to work to earn money, so she can only find someone to take care of her and her child temporarily. Once she gives birth and recovers, she will definitely repay the favor tenfold.

Among the men she had met, Yan Rui was one of the better ones. Given their childhood friendship, she believed he wouldn't reject this pitiful, innocent, and weak woman.

In some ways, Cheng Momo is indeed a persistent woman. After setting her sights on Yan Rui, she specifically hired a private investigator to investigate him. The more Yan Rui learned, the more alarmed he became.

He even felt a pang of regret. If he had treated Yan Rui better when they were children, their childhood friendship might have been stronger, and they wouldn't be in such a predicament now, pregnant and having to worry about their future.

“Of course.” Yan Rui nodded under the watchful eyes of the two women. Before Cheng Momo could even cheer up, he continued, “Of course, I can only do what I can. I will refuse any unreasonable requests. After all, we are not related, and Miss Cheng Momo would surely not make things difficult for an outsider like me!”

These words were reasonable and well-founded. Apart from the lingering affection from their childhood, Yan Rui and Cheng Momo had no connection whatsoever. Helping her was already more than enough. Yan Rui's feelings for Cheng Momo now remained purely platonic, without any inappropriate advances. In fact, because of their past argument, any goodwill he had towards her had completely vanished.

As an adult, Yan Rui would occasionally recall that childhood memory, then smile knowingly, realizing how foolish he had been. They were both young then, their thoughts rather naive. Little Cheng Momo's feelings for him were merely a fleeting moment of pity, while he had foolishly considered her his only friend.

It's hard to imagine how distorted their relationship would have become if things had continued that way. Yan Rui himself wasn't sure how important Cheng Momo was to him. Fortunately, none of that happened. His life took a sharp turn after Wuyou carried him away from the blind date, galloping off in completely different directions.

"Yan Rui, how could you say that? We've been childhood sweethearts, and I took such good care of you when you were little." Cheng Momo suddenly looked up at Yan Rui with tears welling up in her eyes, as if he were an ungrateful and heartless man.

"It's precisely because you helped me when I was a child that I'm saying these things to you. I won't waste my time on unnecessary people." Yan Rui's smile remained unchanged, but his tone was somewhat sharp.

Years of navigating the business world have made him accustomed to wearing a mask of pretense, and he's ruthless in his calculations. He might help someone out of a small favor, but he would never cross his own bottom line and invite trouble upon himself.

"You...can you really bear to see a weak woman like me being bullied outside? Even a stranger would lend a helping hand, let alone me, who hasn't even asked you for any help yet? Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?" Cheng Momo's tears flowed, large teardrops dripping from her pointed chin, forming a poignant and beautiful sight.

He always knew what a woman's most important weapon was: to be unequivocally vulnerable when necessary.

“Of course, I can definitely help strangers with anything they can ask for. Besides, I didn’t refuse outright, unless you yourself felt that the request was too much and forced me to agree.” Yan Rui’s eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a businessman’s shrewdness and cunning.

"That's right, Miss Cheng Momo has gone too far. She was hooking up with my fiancé before, and now she's come to pester President Yan. You must be very busy!" Qin Feifei finally interjected after listening for a while, with a big sarcastic smile on her face, but more than that, she was disdainful.

"You..." Cheng Momo finally noticed Qin Feifei sitting opposite her, her eyes nearly popping out of their sockets in surprise. She never expected to run into her again. What surprised her even more was that Qin Feifei recognized her and knew about her relationship with Fang Yuanyi.

"By the way, I advise you not to get entangled with Fang Yuanyi anymore. If I find out, you'll be in big trouble. You'd better clean up your mess. Do you think you can get entangled with a woman like President Yan? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Qin Feifei crossed her arms, raised her chin, and looked down at Cheng Momo. Her tone and gaze were like sharp blades, scraping Cheng Momo's face and body, tearing away the fig leaf covering him.

Ding-a-ling... The door to the coffee shop was pushed open, and a man in a suit and leather shoes stood at the door, holding a bright red rose in his arms. His smile gradually froze when he met the three people present.
