"How was he? Was he good today?" Zhou Guichuan patted Qi Ke'er's belly, his face full of doting affection.
Now that he has achieved great success and is in his twilight years, he is naturally proud to have such a beautiful woman by his side.
“He’s very well-behaved!” Qi Ke’er’s eyes were full of tenderness.
Just then, the baby in Qi Ke'er's belly kicked her again.
"Ke'er, the baby moved! The baby really moved!" Zhou Guichuan was both surprised and delighted.
Although he already had several children, he was busy with his career at that time and didn't have much time to care about his children. Now, he finally has the opportunity to play the role of a loving father again.
"Okay! The doctor said we can't keep touching it, it can easily cause the umbilical cord to get wrapped around its neck," Qi Ke'er quickly said.
"Okay, okay, I understand!" Zhou Guichuan quickly released Qi Ke'er.
"Grandpa, let me go check if the ginseng soup is ready." Qi Ke'er stood up and went to the kitchen.
Zhou Guichuan gazed at Qi Ke'er, who was busy running around, and whispered to Uncle Zhou beside him, "Old Zhou, look at Ke'er, she doesn't seem to care about me at all. What she said in the envelope must have been all lies!"
This morning, a note suddenly appeared in my mailbox, which stated that Qi Ke'er had already betrayed Zhou Guichuan and that the child in her belly was not Zhou Guichuan's at all.
Although Qi Ke'er had stayed in the building and accompanied him for many years, his suspicious nature still made him doubt her.
Therefore, Zhou Guichuan's questioning of Qi Ke'er was due to the influence of that letter.
“Miss Ke’er has been with you for so many years. Although she is a bit arrogant and domineering at times, she has always been devoted to you. I also believe that she would not betray you.”
Zhou Guichuan's male pride prevented him from admitting that Qi Ke'er had betrayed him.
But that letter left a lingering shadow in Zhou Guichuan's heart.
"Even so, it's better to be safe than sorry. Old Zhou, have someone keep an eye on her for me during this period. If anything goes wrong, report to me immediately."
"Yes, Chairman!" Uncle Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Qi Ke'er worked for more than three hours before returning to her room to rest because Zhou Guichuan had some things to take care of.
Qi Ke'er is now more than five months pregnant. Although she has always been in good health, she has still been affected.
Exhausted, she collapsed onto the sofa, her trusted aide massaging her legs. "Is the old man finally resting? He's been so busy for so long!"
"I don't know either. I just felt that the old man's attitude today was a bit off, as if he was testing something?" Qi Ke'er frowned, her brows furrowed like a volcano about to erupt, as she tried hard to recall.
"What? Could it be that our affair with the second young master has been discovered?" Qi Ke'er's confidante trembled like a withered leaf in the cold wind.
When the nest is overturned, how can any egg remain intact? If Ke'er is discovered, they will all be like willow catkins in a storm, helpless and with nowhere to escape.
"It shouldn't be. At least we haven't found any solid evidence. It's okay, just be more careful these days!" Even though Qi Ke'er was panicking inside, she comforted the person next to her.
The baby is about to be born. As long as she is careful, there shouldn't be any problems.
“Miss Ke’er, the Third Young Master has arrived. He is waiting for you in his room!” The confidante raised her head and said cautiously.
"What's he doing here? Doesn't he know that the old man is cracking down hard lately? If the old man finds out, she and Zhou Haiji will both be finished." Qi Ke'er was utterly speechless at Zhou Haiji's idiot behavior.
"Should I go and tell him you've already rested?" the confidant asked cautiously.
"No need! I'll go by myself!" Zhou Haiji is the kind of person who doesn't listen to anyone once he's out. Even if you refuse him, he'll still barge in on his own.
Qi Ke'er returned to her bedroom, where Zhou Haiji was already waiting for her.
"Young Master, what brings you here? Aren't you afraid of being discovered? The old man has been acting suspiciously lately. If he finds out, things will get complicated," Qi Ke'er said with a hint of reproach.
She was a bit tired today and really didn't feel like engaging in any pretense with Zhou Haiji.
"Ke'er, don't be so distant! I just miss you a little!" Zhou Haiji said in a smooth-talking manner.
"Why did you suddenly think of me, Third Young Master? Aren't all those beautiful women outside enough for you to think about?" Qi Ke'er pretended to be jealous.
"Ke'er, how can those women compare to you? You're carrying my child!" Zhou Haiji didn't have any other redeeming qualities, except for his thick skin.
Zhou Haiji pulled Qi Ke'er to sit on the bed, and then gently stroked her belly with his hand.
"It's amazing how old he's gotten!" Zhou Haiji is a complete playboy who hasn't officially married yet because he doesn't want to be tied down.
However, he has quite a few women around him. Before the apocalypse came, he had a nickname on gossip headlines: "Model Harvester," because he was known for harvesting all kinds of models and minor celebrities.
A hint of disgust flashed in Qi Ke'er's eyes, but she still insisted on continuing to act with him.
"Alright! You wouldn't come here without a reason. You didn't just come to see me today, did you?" Qi Ke'er subtly removed Zhou Haiji's hand from her stomach.
"Can't I just come here to see you?" Zhou Haiji said with a sly smile. "Alright! You can't hide anything from me. I came here today mainly to talk to you about Zhou Haiyuan."
Qi Ke'er's heart tightened. "Zhou Haiyuan, what happened to him?"
"You probably don't know this yet! The old man gave me Warehouse No. 1 first! Zhou Haiyuan has completely lost face in front of Xinyuan Group now, and all of the old man's former staff have surrendered to me! You didn't see the look on Zhou Haiyuan's face at the meeting today, it was absolutely hilarious!" Zhou Haiji said with great enthusiasm, becoming more and more smug as he spoke.
