Zhou Haiyuan's gaze swept over Qi Ke'er's stomach almost imperceptibly. "You're pregnant. You need to be even more careful now."
"Hmm!" Qi Ke'er touched her flat stomach. In a place she couldn't see, a new life was growing.
"Father, he likes him very much, doesn't he?" Zhou Haiyuan asked hesitantly, his feelings about the child were complicated.
"Hmm!" A gentle expression appeared on Qi Ke'er's cold yet charming face.
"This child is yours!" Qi Ke'er said softly.
"What?" Zhou Haiyuan didn't react for a moment.
"I said, this child is yours!" Qi Ke'er said, enunciating each word clearly.
"It's mine? Ke'er, you're not kidding, are you?!" Zhou Haiyuan looked incredulous.
“I’m not joking with you. I know better than anyone whose child it is! It’s yours!” Qi Ke’er looked directly into Zhou Haiyuan’s eyes.
Only then did Zhou Haiyuan begin to believe it. He kept spinning around in place, scratching his head and ears.
Finally, he stopped, lit a cigar, and calmly spoke through the rising smoke: "Ke'er, this child cannot be kept!"
Qi Ke'er seemed to have anticipated his words. She didn't show any particular excitement, but the hopeful light in her eyes shattered into countless crystals.
"No!" Qi Ke'er slowly shook her head.
"Ke'er, I know you're the most sensible one," Zhou Haiyuan said gently, taking Qi Ke'er's hand.
"And if Father finds out about this, the consequences will be unimaginable. Have you thought about that?" Zhou Haiyuan coaxed patiently.
Moreover, deep down, he didn't want her to give birth to this child.
His greatest shame in life was having a mother who was not respectable.
Therefore, he did not want his child to have a mother who was not presentable.
Despite the fact that class distinctions in this world have been reversed, it has not changed his perception.
"No! This is my child, and I want to keep him!" Qi Ke'er said calmly but resolutely.
"I'm telling you this not to blackmail you, but because you are the father of the child, I want you to know this. This is the child of me and the person I love, so I hope to give birth to it!" Whether Zhou Haiyuan agrees or not, she will give birth to it.
"Alright then!" Seeing Qi Ke'er's determination, Zhou Haiyuan had no choice but to agree for the time being.
However, this matter is ultimately a ticking time bomb; it can be kept secret for a while, but not forever.
If her father finds out about this, not only will Qi Ke'er suffer, but he will also be punished.
"Haiyuan, did you know that Wayneber has sided with Zhou Haiji?" Qi Ke'er almost forgot the real reason she came here.
“Wayneber, he really did defect to the other side!” Zhou Haiyuan’s face turned gloomy.
"Haiyuan, you already know about this?" Qi Ke'er asked in surprise.
"I only had suspicions!" He had long felt that Wayneber was acting strangely, and sure enough, he had betrayed him.
"Then what do you plan to do!" Qi Ke'er asked anxiously, as Wayneber controlled a considerable amount of power.
"What else can we do but kill him!" Fortunately, under the current circumstances, making someone disappear is not a difficult task.
He would never let go of those who betrayed him, let alone such fickle and treacherous people.
"Haiyuan, it's good that you're prepared!" Qi Ke'er put on her cloak. She had been out for too long, and it would be troublesome if the old man suddenly woke up and looked for her.
"Okay! I know, Ke'er, you can go back now!"
Watching Qi Ke'er's departing figure, he suddenly felt that letting Qi Ke'er keep the child wasn't so bad.
Qi Ke'er arrived just in time.
"Sister Ke'er, where did you go? The chairman just woke up and is looking for you!"
"I just went out for some fresh air," Qi Ke'er said calmly. It's impossible to be a spy without a strong mental fortitude.
Aside from being love-struck, Qi Ke'er is a perfect female spy.
"Alright! Sister Ke'er, let's go!"
"good!"
When Qi Ke'er arrived at Zhou Guichuan's room, he was sitting at his desk in his pajamas. Under the dim light of the nightlight, he looked much more haggard than during the day.
"Ke'er, you're here!" Zhou Guichuan waved to Qi Ke'er as she approached.
"Chairman, why are you awake!" Qi Ke'er naturally brought him a glass of warm water.
"I just had a nightmare! After I woke up, I really wanted to see you, and it too!" Zhou Guichuan looked at Qi Ke'er's belly with affection. When his first few children were born, he was still young and focused on his career, so he didn't have much time to enjoy family life.
Now, he has placed all his regretful fatherly love on this unborn child.
Zhou Guichuan picked up the warm water, then put it down again.
"Ke'er, would you betray me?" Zhou Guichuan murmured to himself.
These soft, dreamlike words startled Qi Ke'er. Had Zhou Guichuan discovered something?
"Of course not!" Qi Ke'er didn't even lift her eyelids as she gently massaged Zhou Guichuan's temples.
"That's good!" Zhou Guichuan closed his eyes comfortably.
"Chairman, did you dream that someone betrayed you?" Qi Ke'er asked tentatively.
"Yes!" Zhou Guichuan nodded.
It seemed he hadn't noticed and was just having a nightmare, which relieved Qi Ke'er.
"Chairman, it's late, you should get some rest!" Qi Ke'er whispered gently in his ear.
"Okay!" Qi Ke'er settled Zhou Guichuan down to sleep before returning to her own room.
Only after everyone had left did Qi Ke'er slump into a chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
The following afternoon, news came that Wayneber had been attacked by zombies and had unfortunately died, and that almost all of his forces had been taken over by Zhou Haiyuan's men.
In a luxurious room, Zhou Haiji was angrily smashing furniture, and the interior decorations were already in a mess.
"How could Wayneber have died so suddenly! Damn it!" He had paid a considerable price to win Wayneber over.
Before he could even receive Wayneber's reward, Wayneber died, and all his previous efforts were in vain.
"How hateful, how hateful! That good-for-nothing Wayneber!" This incompetent Zhou Haiji didn't even consider Qi Ke'er's perspective.
He thought to himself that Qi Ke'er was just a woman, how could she have so many schemes? This must be the work of someone else, and if he caught that person, he would definitely tear them to pieces.
Upon receiving the news, Zhou Haiyuan smirked coldly. "A good-for-nothing, just a good-for-nothing after all."
