Chapter 342 She's pregnant!
Sheng Tingxiao sat in the Maybach, his well-defined fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging.
He tried calling several times, but the call kept failing with a message indicating that the call could not be connected.
A fire burned in his chest, consuming all his reason.
This woman has really gotten incredibly bold.
An hour later.
A pair of figures emerged from the hotel's revolving door. The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful. Both wore relaxed and cheerful smiles, and the scene was so harmonious it was almost blinding.
Tonight, Zhou Yu brought her to the hotel to visit Ms. Yu, her high school homeroom teacher. They also had dinner at the restaurant downstairs and had a very pleasant chat.
Teacher Yu is retiring next year, and I never expected to run into her in Haicheng.
Lin Xiaoli was about to get into the white Cayenne next to her.
"Lin Xiaoli".
A cold male voice, carrying an overwhelming sense of oppression, came from behind her.
Lin Xiaoli's body froze instantly.
She quickly said a few words to Zhou Yu, who glanced at the man not far away, nodded knowingly, and drove away.
Lin Xiaoli turned around and walked step by step toward the man whose aura was extremely low.
He was tall and slender, and even just standing there, he exuded a powerful aura that was impossible to ignore.
"Mr. Sheng, what are you doing here?"
"What's wrong with the phone? I can't get through." His tone was sharp and harsh.
Lin Xiaoli took her phone out of her bag; the screen was completely black.
She pressed the power button, but there was no response.
"The power is out."
"Mr. Sheng, is there something urgent that you wanted to see me about?"
"Come with me." Sheng Tingxiao reached out and grabbed her wrist with surprising force.
Lin Xiaoli felt a sharp pain from his pinch and abruptly shook him off, her delicate eyebrows furrowing tightly.
"President Sheng, if it's a work-related matter, just give me your instructions."
Sheng Tingxiao took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress his turbulent emotions, and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.
"From now on, you are not allowed to see this man surnamed Zhou again."
Lin Xiaoli was so angry she almost laughed.
Isn't this man being a bit too nosy? Is he some kind of Pacific police officer?
"President Sheng, it's after get off work hours now. Who I meet with is my own social freedom."
Her tone was neither humble nor arrogant.
"You have no right to interfere."
Sheng Tingxiao's dark eyes were fixed on her, with undercurrents she couldn't understand surging within them.
"He's already married, he has a wife and children, don't you even care about your own reputation?"
Lin Xiaoli laughed after hearing this.
The smile didn't reach his eyes.
"President Sheng, thank you for your concern. I will manage myself well and will absolutely not tarnish the company's reputation."
"Lin Xiaoli, do you like him that much?" His voice was a little unsteady, revealing a hint of emotion beyond anger.
Lin Xiaoli avoided his piercing gaze and did not give a direct answer.
"President Sheng, it is my personal freedom to like whomever I want."
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
She turned to leave. Had this big devil recently gotten on her nerves?
When you have time, come and teach her a lesson?
Sheng Tingxiao grabbed her arm again and pulled her back.
He asked the question word by word, each word carrying the weight of judgment.
"Are you really going to let yourself fall into this state?"
Willing to fall for oneself?
Lin Xiaoli looked up at him, her eyes glistening with tears.
Her voice was flat. "Yes, it's been dirty for a long time."
"Please let go, don't get your hands dirty."
She struggled free and walked away quickly, her red-rimmed eyes nowhere to be hidden in the night.
Sheng Tingxiao stood there, his chest heaving violently. Finally, he couldn't hold back and kicked the tire behind him hard.
A muffled "bang".
That evening, at Club No. 9.
Sheng Tingxiao kept chugging strong liquor, but the more he drank, the clearer his mind became, and the more agitated he felt.
He jumped up, grabbed his car keys, and rushed out.
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Sheng Tingxiao frantically pounded on the door of Lin Xiaoli's rented room.
There was no movement inside.
Nobody here?
She didn't come home all night!
He was so angry at this woman that he felt like he was going to explode.
He didn't know what was wrong with him, but at this moment Lin Xiaoli was like a disobedient soldier, making him want to teach her a lesson.
Where did her former well-behaved and sensible nature go? How did everything change?
At this moment, Lin Xiaoli was curled up on a small sofa in the company's staff break room.
The power suddenly went out in her rented apartment that night, and the darkness terrified her, so she decided to go back to the company to spend the night.
early morning.
Suddenly, her stomach churned violently, and she rushed into the bathroom, vomiting uncontrollably.
She went to the hospital.
When Lin Xiaoli walked out of the consultation room with the ultrasound report in her hand, she was completely stunned.
She... is pregnant.
That absurd accident that night resulted in her getting pregnant with his child!
Her mind was in complete chaos, and she had no idea what to do.
When I got back to the company, I was already half an hour late.
The moment Sheng Tingxiao saw her, the fire in his heart ignited again.
"Lin Xiaoli, do you know what time it is?"
Lin Xiaoli only came to her senses after being yelled at.
"I'm sorry, I wasn't feeling well this morning and went to the hospital."
Sheng Tingxiao ignored her explanation and slammed a stack of documents heavily onto her desk.
"Check this contract carefully and make a new one."
"OK."
Lin Xiaoli sat down in the chair, still in a daze. It took her a long time to stretch out one hand and slowly start typing on the keyboard.
When she placed the reprinted contract on Sheng Tingxiao's desk, he glanced at it twice before abruptly throwing the document on the floor.
Papers were scattered all over the floor.
"Lin Xiaoli, did I invite you here just to cause me trouble?"
He was furious.
"Look for yourself, what have you made?"
Lin Xiaoli quickly squatted down, picked up the contract from the ground, and after just one glance, her heart sank.
There are two sets of key numbers that are wrong.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Sheng, I'll redo it right away."
Looking at her red eyes and pale face, Sheng Tingxiao's anger flared even more.
He just yelled it out.
"go out!"
Lin Xiaoli's heart skipped a beat, and she turned and ran, her eyes red.
She didn't go home all night, was late for work, and was distracted at work. What was she complaining about?
Sheng Tingxiao thought bitterly and lit a cigarette.
...
Country S.
Huo Shenyuan struggled to open his eyelids, and he finally returned to this world.
The beeping sounds of various medical instruments filled my ears.
He felt pain all over his body, and his body was completely unresponsive.
He turned his head with difficulty, and saw two tall figures standing in front of the ICU's glass window.
It's Fu Beichen and Bai Yu.
His lips moved, but his throat was so dry he couldn't utter a single syllable.
Noticing his movements, Fu Beichen quickly picked up a thick black pen, wrote words on a piece of white paper, and then stuck it on the transparent glass.
Each stroke is clear and powerful.
Qingning has been saved, don't worry.
Huo Shenyuan's pupils suddenly contracted.
He continued writing.
We will help you take care of the elderly lady and the company.
Take good care of yourself, we're waiting for you to come home.
With just three sentences, all the worries that had been hanging over him were finally lifted.
His mouth moved again, as if he wanted to ask something urgently.
Bai Yu took the pen from his hand and quickly wrote down a line of words.
Qingning hasn't woken up yet and can't come to see you. Once you're better, I'll personally take her home.
Huo Shenyuan's eyes instantly reddened.
He's not awake.
She hasn't woken up yet.
She's been asleep for so long, when is she finally going to wake up?
Was she burned?
A short while later, both of them left.
Fu Beichen spoke, his voice weary, "You go back first. I'll stay for two more days until his condition stabilizes and he's transferred out of the ICU."
Bai Yu raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "He will get through this."
But Fu Beichen's brows were still furrowed tightly.
Just then, the sound of high heels approached from afar, and Nan Wan walked over with two people.
"Young Master Huo is awake?"
"He opened his eyes, but he can't speak or do anything. His injuries are too severe," Bai Yu replied.
"I brought two experts with me, from the burn unit, hoping they can be of help to him," Nan Wan said succinctly.
Fu Beichen nodded and then asked, "Qingning, how is the situation?"
"Still the same as before, he hasn't woken up yet."
Nan Wan paused for a moment, then stated her opinion directly, "I think she needs a little stimulation."
"It would be best to arrange for them to stay together once Huo Shao is transferred out of the ICU."
Fu Beichen nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared at the end of the corridor.
Lu Qinglin has arrived.
Nan Wan's expression changed instantly, her eyes filled with unyielding indifference.
"I've come to see Young Master Huo," Lu Qinglin said.
"I'm leaving now."
Nan Wan turned and left, finding it annoying to even look at him for a second longer.
Fu Beichen led Lu Qinglin to the ICU visiting area once again.
...
That evening, Sheng Tingxiao took Lin Xiaoli to a social event. Lin Xiaoli sat next to him, but was unusually quiet.
The once quick-witted assistant now resembled a lost lamb, her eyes filled with confusion.
The food on the table hadn't been touched much, clearly indicating a lack of appetite.
"Assistant Lin, let me toast you to thank you for delivering important documents to the company in the pouring rain that day."
A man in his fifties stood up, holding a wine glass and beaming.
Rumors are circulating in the industry that this Assistant Lin will soon become the president's wife at Sheng's Corporation, so he dares not neglect her.
Lin Xiaoli quickly stood up and forced a polite smile.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Yang, I'm not feeling well today. I'll have tea instead of wine. Thank you for your support of Sheng's."
"Huh?" President Yang's smile didn't fade, but he showed no intention of letting her off the hook. "Assistant Lin is looking down on me. I've heard that Assistant Lin has a high alcohol tolerance. Let's just have a small drink, just a small drink."
Lin Xiaoli's gaze unconsciously fell on Sheng Tingxiao beside her, carrying a hint of pleading for help.
But the man leaned back in his chair, his expression indifferent, not even glancing at her, his fingers tapping absently on the table.
Who is she trying to fool with her sickly appearance?
She smiled with her head bowed in front of that man surnamed Zhou; she seemed quite at ease.
Thinking of this, Sheng Tingxiao's expression darkened even more.
Lin Xiaoli's heart skipped a beat, and a wave of discomfort washed over her.
She slowly withdrew her gaze and picked up the glass of strong liquor on the table.
So be it.
Anyway, she didn't want this child.
Her hands trembled slightly as she brought the wine glass to her lips, about to tilt her head back and drink it down.
A large hand suddenly reached out and snatched her cup away.
Sheng Tingxiao stood up, his tall figure exuding a strong sense of pressure.
"Mr. Yang, Assistant Lin isn't feeling well, so I'll take over for her."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
"President Sheng, you really have a good capacity for alcohol." President Yang didn't dare to offer any more toasts, fearing that President Sheng would get angry later.
Lin Xiaoli lowered her head, looked at no one, and said softly.
Excuse me for a moment.
After saying that, she turned around and walked out quickly.
Sheng Tingxiao watched her hurried departure, his brows furrowed, and followed her out.
At the end of the corridor, he leaned against the wall and smoked.
When she came out of the restroom, he immediately noticed her red and swollen eyes, clearly indicating that she had been crying.
He stubbed out his cigarette and strode over.
"Since you're not feeling well, I'll take you home first."
His voice softened considerably, carrying a tension he himself was unaware of, as if he feared she was truly ill.
She's acting very strangely today; she's making a lot of mistakes at work.
"No need to trouble you, Mr. Sheng, I can call a car myself."
She took a step back, her words filled with estrangement and resistance.
"Lin Xiaoli!"
Sheng Tingxiao growled, a vein throbbing on his forehead, but he tried to suppress his anger and softened his voice again.
"Don't make me angry, be good."
"President Sheng, your concern for me has gone beyond the boundaries of a superior."
Lin Xiaoli raised her head, her bloodshot eyes staring straight at him, and finally asked the question she had been holding back for so long.
"Could you transfer me back to the public relations department?"
Looking into her teary eyes, Sheng Tingxiao couldn't muster any more anger.
He was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"Cut off all contact with that guy surnamed Zhou, and I'll transfer you back."
"Okay." Lin Xiaoli took a deep breath and explained, "But Zhou Yu and I don't have the kind of relationship you're thinking of."
Not that kind of relationship?
He took a step closer, his long, slender fingers lightly pinching her chin, forcing her to look him in the eye.
"Then tell me, who were you crying for just now?"
Lin Xiaoli frowned, and a tear rolled down her cheek uncontrollably.
"I'm just... feeling sad, not for anyone else."
Sheng Tingxiao gently wiped away the tear stains on her cheeks with his fingertips, his eyes filled with a tenderness he himself was unaware of.
"Don't cry."
His voice was hoarse.
"Come back to me, okay?"
Lin Xiaoli was completely stunned.
Go back to him? What does that mean? What does he take her for?
"Leave that Zhou guy. If you want a good life, I... can give it to you."
He thought he had made himself clear enough and was sincere enough; he only wanted her to move back to Emperor View No. 1.
But to Lin Xiaoli, these words were a huge humiliation.
He thought she was Zhou Yu's mistress, a woman who would sell herself for a better life.
She shoved him away with all her might, shouting his full name for the first time.
"Sheng Tingxiao, you bastard!"
That's incredibly bold!
She tried to leave, but he grabbed her wrist, pulled her back, and asked her angrily.
"Where am I inferior to him?"
Lin Xiaoli burst into tears, completely losing control of her emotions.
"You're terrible at everything, absolutely terrible, I hate you!"
She tried to shake it off twice, but couldn't. Then she looked down at the large hand and bit down hard.
A sharp pain shot through him, and Sheng Tingxiao instinctively released his grip.
Lin Xiaoli's tears rolled down her cheeks again, and she turned and ran away.
Sheng Tingxiao strode forward and pinned her firmly against the cold wall.
He looked down at her, a dangerous glint in his eyes.
"Bite me?"
He chuckled softly, his breath hot.
"I have to bite back."
As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed her lips forcefully.
Lin Xiaoli was so frightened that her eyes widened and her mind went blank.
He gave her no chance to resist, penetrating deeper and deeper, savoring the fragrance from her mouth...
At this moment, Sheng Tingxiao finally realized it clearly.
So, he liked her!
