"Boss Cen..." Lian Xing's heart tightened when she saw the person coming, and her voice was a little nervous and pleading.

"I've been renting a house from you for quite a while now, and I've always paid the rent on time, never in arrears. This time, it's urgent. Could you please make some concessions and let me give birth first?"

Lianxing tried to communicate with the other party. After all, the child was about to be born and could not wait.

Xiaochun, who was standing by, also echoed anxiously, "Boss Cen, my son is right. We have never been in arrears with rent once..."

However, the woman surnamed Cen clearly wasn't buying what Lian Xing and her servant were saying. She put her hands on her hips and said indifferently, "This house is mine. If I say you can't have children here, then you can't! Childbirth is filthy. If you give birth in my house, it will ruin the feng shui and affect my family's fortune. If we get into trouble because of this, who will I turn to for justice?"

"But the baby in my belly is about to be born, and there is really no time to go anywhere else..." Lian Xing tightly held her stomach which was getting more and more painful. Her face was slightly pale, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, her eyes were full of helplessness and despair, and she wanted to beg for mercy again.

"That's your business, it has nothing to do with me!" Boss Cen interrupted ruthlessly. Her voice was as cold as the wind in December, and her eyes were as sharp as a knife, without a trace of sympathy. "I can rent the shop to you to open a business, but you absolutely cannot give birth to a child in it!"

Boss Cen stood at the counter with her arms folded across her chest, a look of determination on her face. Her expression was cold and indifferent, as if she had no room for negotiation. Her attitude was so resolute that it gave people a chill.

Yu Jingyang, standing by, saw this and secretly worried about Lianxing. He knew that Lianxing's current situation was very difficult. If she couldn't wait for the birth here, the consequences would be disastrous.

So, he decided to step forward and try to persuade the stubborn owner of the house to change his mind: "Boss Cen, Boss Ye is weak now and needs a quiet place to rest and wait for the birth of the baby. Otherwise, you can be kind and let him give birth first." Yu Jingyang spoke sincerely and tried to persuade again.

Boss Cen sneered, a look of disdain on her face. She looked Yu Jingyang up and down, imagining him as a meddling, bored man. Then, with a hint of sarcasm, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Sir, I've made it very clear. I won't allow anyone to have children in my house. This is my principle, and it won't change for anyone." Her tone was firm, unquestionable.

Yu Jingyang sighed helplessly and gave a wink to the servant beside him. The servant understood and immediately took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and presented it to Yu Jingyang respectfully with both hands.

Yu Jingyang took the banknote, glanced at the amount on it, nodded with satisfaction, and then handed the banknote to Boss Cen. He said firmly, "Boss Cen, I know you are a businessman. I am willing to pay you ten times the rent on behalf of Boss Ye, as long as you can let him give birth here."

Boss Cen took the banknotes, counted them quickly, and a hint of surprise crossed her face. However, the thick stack of banknotes didn't change her mind. Instead, she returned the banknotes to Yu Jingyang, shaking her head and saying, "My dear husband, you don't understand. We have taboos about renting out our houses here, especially letting tenants have children. That's absolutely forbidden. I think... you shouldn't waste your energy. I'm not short of money, I just don't want my house to be soiled."

Yu Jingyang looked at Boss Cen, his heart filled with helplessness and anger. He didn't understand why Boss Cen was so cold and heartless. Didn't this man have any sympathy at all?

He couldn't help but question, "Boss Cen, how could you be so heartless? Boss Ye's current condition clearly isn't suitable for relocation. What will he do if he can't give birth here?"

Boss Cen glanced at Yu Jingyang coldly and said, "That's his own business and has nothing to do with me. I only care whether my house will be dirty."

Even the well-educated Yu Jingyang couldn't help but look annoyed at the other party's stubbornness. But reason told him that getting angry wouldn't help; finding a solution was the most important thing. Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and tried to calm his anger.

Just when the few people were in a stalemate, the sound of orderly and powerful soldiers stepping and shouting suddenly came from outside, breaking the original silence.

Immediately afterwards, a woman dressed in the court dress of a great general walked in. Her posture was upright and her temperament was majestic, which attracted people's attention.

The person who came was Feng Cailan. Her face was stern, and her eyes revealed determination and courage. She was wearing a gorgeous and solemn dress, embroidered with exquisite patterns, highlighting her noble status.

"Yang Bao!"

After Feng Cailan entered the Junyanfang, she quickly scanned the area, finally landing on Yu Jingyang. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Yang Bao, I finally found you." Feng Cailan's voice was steady and powerful, revealing a strong and unyielding spirit, which made people feel awe when they heard it.

When Yu Jingyang saw Feng Cailan coming here, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face, but he quickly suppressed it and turned to walk towards Feng Cailan.

"Sir, why are you here?" Yu Jingyang asked embarrassedly.

"If I hadn't happened to pass by here, I wouldn't have known you were here. Why are you running around with such a big belly?" Feng Cailan looked at Yu Jingyang with joy, relief, and a bit of reproach that she was reluctant to say out loud.

Yu Jingyang felt Feng Cailan's concern, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He knew that Feng Cailan loved him deeply, and he also knew that he was indeed a little willful.
