Wang Peng shook his head, not wanting to talk about the child anymore.

He believed that no woman would accept her fiancé having a child outside of their marriage; she would definitely be angry, and disaster might befall her.

However, he still decided to be honest with Li Mingzhu and be prepared to accept all the consequences.

"Mengjiao, let's talk about something serious. You already know the news I have, right? The country has relaxed its condom policy."

"I understand, but I have some inside information. Durex is about to acquire a latex factory in China."

"Huh? Heh, this bastard has a pretty sharp nose."

Wang Peng certainly knew this brand; it was one of the world's most famous brands, targeting the high-end market with prices much higher than similar products. It was like a catfish, poised to devour a large market share.

"I've decided to set up a family planning products company, and I'll import James Bond from you. By the way, do you have enough stock?"

"Brother, all I can say is that it's enough for you to sell now, and it will be enough for you to sell in the future."

“I don’t want to sell it. I want to hand it over to Mingzhu to manage, and let her be the general agent of James Bond.”

Wang Peng found this funny.

He registered a company overseas, with his lover managing the overseas operations and his fiancée managing the domestic ones. They both made money together; it's really funny.

"Okay, I'll call your house tomorrow." Li Mengjiao yawned and said, "Brother, pregnant women tend to get sleepy, I want to sleep now, can you give me a kiss?"

"Stop fooling around, I'm using a public phone. Let me ask you one more question: why did you send Dong Xiaolan to work there? Do you really know much about her?"

“Brother, I only know her before she was fourteen. Back then, our families were neighbors, and we were best friends since we were little. She told me that she really wanted to leave China, so I let her come here.”

Huang Xiaolan holds a work visa, which can only be applied for in China by the English company.

"Mengjiao, I want to tell you about her life after she turned fourteen. Listen carefully."

“She dropped out of school at sixteen because her family was poor. Her parents asked her to work to earn tuition fees for her younger brother, which was similar to my situation. The difference is that I didn’t compromise, but she did.”

“She had no academic qualifications, no skills, and couldn’t earn much money. Then she went astray and contracted AIDS. Du Lei and I discovered her condition and got her a job at a tobacco and liquor store.”

After finishing his explanation in one breath, Wang Peng suddenly felt much more relaxed. He continued to look up at the stars in the sky, waiting for Li Mengjiao to process it.

After a long silence, a sigh came from the phone.

“Brother, actually I have Xiaolan’s medical examination results. I wouldn’t have hired her so easily if I didn’t know her in detail. Brother, I thought about it for a long time before I agreed to let her come.” Li Mengjiao gave a bitter smile, her tone filled with melancholy.

Wang Peng scratched his head, not expecting that Meng Jiao had already seen through everything.

"Brother, how much did it cost you to make this a public service announcement for condoms?"

"It cost less than 10,000 yuan. Since Huang Xiaolan was diagnosed with HIV, relevant departments in the provincial capital have launched a crackdown on pornography and illegal publications, and have discovered many more cases, causing great panic among the people. Therefore, relevant departments have started to produce a large number of public service advertisements."

"Brother, I heard you were interviewed by a TV station back then? But ten thousand yuan is no small amount, I'll definitely help you earn it back."

Hearing this, Wang Peng smiled. He realized that the 10,000 yuan was well spent and might even bring in a big profit.

Because many people in the provincial capital knew about his advertisements, especially after that news interview, the tobacco and liquor store's business improved. He claimed to be doing public service advertising, but it was actually also advertising for himself.

“Mengjiao, the tobacco and liquor store’s business has improved a lot because of the public service advertisements. I’m not losing money,” Wang Peng said. “It’s getting late. I’m going back to sleep. You should rest too.”

They chatted for a few more minutes and then said goodnight to each other.

Wang Peng hung up the phone, drove back to his home, and found Li Mingzhu still watching TV in the living room.

"Brother, why are you only coming back now?" Li Mingzhu turned off the TV, hugged her fiancé's neck, and kissed him hard.

“I made a phone call to Mengjiao from outside and talked about some… business matters.”

"Tell me, when are we going to import goods from there?"

Wang Peng carried her into the bedroom and turned off the lights in the living room.

"Mingzhu, I plan to set up a family planning products company and hand it over to you to run. Are you confident?" Wang Peng said with a light laugh.

"Of course I'm confident! Long live!" Li Mingzhu hugged her fiancé and kissed him passionately, quickly took off his clothes, and got up to turn off the light.

After a long while, the bedroom was pitch black, and the two of them hugged each other tightly.

"Mingzhu, there's something I want to tell you, it's about Li Mengjiao."

"Brother, let me tell you a story first. Just before you went home, I received a call from Mengjiao. She told me a story and said that she would never go back to China."

"What? What story?"

Wang Peng's heart skipped a beat. Had Li Mengjiao already told him about the child?

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed unlikely, because his fiancée's behavior was too normal; she didn't even get angry.

In the darkness, Li Mingzhu said, "She tricked you into getting drunk and then sexually assaulted you without your knowledge. She just cried and apologized to me on the phone."

Buzz—

Wang Peng's mind was in complete chaos. He never expected that Li Mengjiao would take the initiative to tell Mingzhu about this.

"Brother, she said she's pregnant, carrying your child, and is already seven months along."

“The child is healthy. She vowed not to return to China, not to affect our lives, and not to let the child acknowledge you.”

“The separation of father and son is very painful, brother, you are also a victim.”

Wang Peng hurriedly shook his head, opened his mouth as if to speak, but didn't know what to say.

The air grew quiet. Wang Peng, having held back for a long time, said, "Mingzhu, I'm sorry..."

"Don't apologize to me. You are the complete victim. Why should you apologize to me?" Li Mingzhu sneered and said, "The one who should apologize is Li Mengjiao. She's out of her mind."

Wang Peng smiled bitterly in the darkness. His fiancée was right; Li Mengjiao was a brainless girl. She had been spoiled since childhood and always did things her own way.

"Mingzhu, let's get married as soon as possible. I don't want to waste any more energy on this kind of thing," Wang Peng said in a deep voice.

He wanted to focus his energy on his career. Since he had been given a second chance at life, he wanted to achieve financial freedom at the very least, and then enjoy life to the fullest.

“Brother, you’re overthinking it. I will never leave you in this lifetime,” Li Mingzhu said with a smile. “If you really want to get married, we can go get our marriage certificate tomorrow, but we don’t need to have a wedding.”

"Why?" Wang Peng laughed. "Do you want to keep your marriage a secret?"

"Haha!" Li Mingzhu said, "You have 100,000 yuan in your pocket now, and I also need to earn 100,000 yuan independently to be worthy of you, right? Once I have my own career, we'll have a grand wedding."
