Although Zhou Guichuan told Qi Ke'er to go back and rest, Qi Ke'er still dared not slack off at all.
After Zhou Guichuan fell asleep, Qi Ke'er carefully closed the door and returned to her own room.
She pushed open the door, rubbed her aching back, and lay down on the sofa.
At that moment, a head suddenly popped out from behind the sofa.
"Ke'er!"
"Who is it?" Qi Ke'er instinctively grabbed a cushion from the sofa and threw it at the person.
During this period, due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, coupled with the fear of witnessing zombies firsthand, Qi Ke'er was somewhat stressed.
"Ke'er, don't be afraid! Don't be afraid, it's me!" A handsome man with a somewhat sinister charm suddenly stood up.
He was wearing a gray floral shirt and slim-fitting suit trousers. With his high nose bridge, slender eyebrows, and a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, you could tell at a glance that he was a seasoned player in the game of love.
The person who arrived was Zhou Haiji, the third son of the Zhou family.
"You scared me to death! Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Qi Ke'er patted her chest.
"I just wanted to give you a surprise, didn't I?" Zhou Haiji sat down next to Qi Ke'er casually and put his arm around her shoulder.
"Ugh, what are you doing? Tell me, what do you want?" Qi Ke'er pushed away Zhou Haiji's hand that was on her shoulder.
"Nothing! I just missed you!" Zhou Haiji's restless hands wrapped around her waist again, his face pressed against her ribs, and he said coquettishly.
"Miss me? If I don't even mention the women surrounding you, Young Master Zhou, there must be at least 80, if not 100, right?" Qi Ke'er said irritably.
"Ke'er, can I take this as you being jealous of me?" Zhou Haiji's lips curled into a playful smile as he lightly lifted Qi Ke'er's chin!
"Ugh! Still so irresponsible!" Qi Ke'er lowered her head shyly.
Zhou Haiji picked up Qi Ke'er and carried her towards the bedroom.
"Third Young Master, no!" Qi Ke'er struggled and said.
"What's there to be shy about? It's not the first time!" Zhou Haiji continued walking forward, showing no intention of letting her go.
"Put me down! I'm not kidding!" Qi Ke'er said anxiously, "I'm pregnant!"
It took Zhou Haiji a second to react before he put Qi Ke'er down.
"You're pregnant? Is it true?" Zhou Haiji asked, half believing it.
"Of course it's true!" Qi Ke'er replied while straightening her clothes.
"Then this child...?" Zhou Haiji felt a little confused and asked hesitantly.
"It's yours!" Qi Ke'er looked directly into Zhou Haiji's eyes without any hesitation, her tone full of certainty.
"Really? He always takes precautions!"
"What do you mean you can't! You don't think it's an old man, do you? Or do you think I have someone else?" Qi Ke'er's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
"Ke'er, that's not what I meant!" Zhou Haiji quickly explained.
Qi Ke'er was the best spy he had trained, and he was counting on her to help him find out what was going on with the old man and the second son!
"Ke'er, I was just joking, don't be angry!" The old man is already over 60 years old, and his fertility has long since declined. Moreover, he has been with so many women over the past ten years, and none of them have been able to get pregnant, which means that he has long lost his ability to have children.
If that child wasn't his, whose could it be? The more Zhou Haiji thought about it, the more pleased he felt.
"By the way! How's everything going on your end lately?" Qi Ke'er suddenly remembered something and asked.
Speaking of this, Zhou Haiji became excited: "We've made great progress recently. Do you know Wayneber, the guy next to the second brother? Cheng Yuxiang has convinced him to join my side."
Zhou Haiji said smugly.
“Wayneber? Isn’t he a staunch supporter of Zhou Haiyuan?” Qi Ke’er was clearly taken aback.
"There's no such thing as true loyalty! With the lure of a large sum of money, there's no heart that can't be opened."
"By the way, Ke'er! Has the old man said anything useful lately?" Zhou Haiji asked.
"Nothing special, except that the second brother comes to report on his work quite frequently!"
"This second son is quite good at feigning enthusiasm." Zhou Haiji spat fiercely. "But what good is his enthusiasm? The old man still doesn't like him. He's just a bastard's son! Bah!"
"If anything happens to Ke'er, please keep an eye out for me. When I become the head of the family, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!" Zhou Haiyuan said hurriedly.
"Alright, alright, I know! You should leave now! It'll be troublesome if the old man finds out." Qi Ke'er quickly pushed Zhou Haiji away, giving him the order to leave.
"Alright then! Ke'er, I'll be going now." He really couldn't stay here too long; he still had several beauties to appease!
After Zhou Haiji left, Qi Ke'er lay on the sofa, lost in thought.
It was midnight that night, a dark and stormy time.
A person completely covered from head to toe arrived at the door of a room.
"Thump, thump, thump!" The sound was particularly jarring in the silence of the night.
The door creaked open, revealing a handsome and dashing face—it was Zhou Haiyuan.
Zhou Haiyuan looked at the person's face and said with some surprise, "Why did you come here!"
Then he quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly made way for her, saying, "Come in first!"
Once inside, the uninvited guest removed her cloak, revealing a stunningly beautiful face – it was Qi Ke'er.
"Ke'er, why did you suddenly come over today without telling me beforehand!" Zhou Haiyuan's words carried a hint of reproach.
"Haiyuan, I have something important to tell you, and..." Qi Ke'er looked up at him with deep affection, "I miss you, I want to see you!"
That's right, Qi Ke'er is a double agent. On the surface, she is a supporter of Zhou Haiji, but in reality, her true master is Zhou Haiyuan. Her usual cold and indifferent attitude is just a cover.
Zhou Haiyuan put his arm around Qi Ke'er's waist, looking at this beautiful woman who was so devoted to him, a touch of tenderness welling up in his heart. "Alright! I'm not blaming you, it's just too dangerous for you to come here at this time. If someone with ulterior motives discovers you, you might..."
Zhou Haiyuan suddenly remembered that Qi Ke'er was pregnant, so he swallowed the rest of the words.
If Qi Ke'er were discovered by someone with ulterior motives, she would be dead. Zhou Guichuan is the most suspicious and cruel person. If he discovers her betrayal, it would be no exaggeration to say that she would be torn to pieces.
