Jiang Hao sneered and raised his hand to touch Lin Qingtong's face, gently trying to comfort her.
"Listen to me, I will never treat you unfairly. I'll take you to the company now, and you can talk to your uncle in person."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Qingtong, having changed into a new outfit, took a car back to the company, pushed open the office door, and spoke with a fake smile on her face.
"Uncle, I wish us a pleasant cooperation."
She gracefully extended her slender, verdant hand towards Shen Tinghe, her almond-shaped eyes gazing at him with a smile.
Sunlight streamed through the French windows after the rain, falling on Lin Qingtong's fingertips. Shen Tinghe raised his hand to cover them, his gaze deepening.
"It's a pleasure to work with you."
The two men's clasped hands gave off an air of rivalry.
Jiang Hao walked in, supporting his feet, his brows furrowing slightly. He sensed that something was off between the two of them.
A hint of displeasure arose in his heart, and he reached out to pull Lin Qingtong's hand away.
Just then, a figure pushed open the office door and stepped in, carrying a lunchbox in his hand.
"Honey, I brought you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs."
Standing at the door was Hsu Hui-min, dressed in a light blue maternity dress, her face beaming with a happy and gentle smile.
But when she saw the situation inside the office, her smile froze.
Shen Tinghe glanced indifferently at Jiang Hao and slowly uttered a sentence that was both deliberate and imposing.
"Are you her husband? You're divorced?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Hao was immediately frightened and hurriedly scolded Xu Huimin.
"I've told you so many times, this is my office, I'm not your husband."
"Uncle, a crazy woman keeps going into the wrong office. If it weren't for her pregnancy, I would have kicked her out of the company."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingtong lowered her eyes and gave a mocking smile.
In order to make his investment a success, this man was even willing to call his beloved woman a crazy woman.
It seems his love isn't something he can readily offer.
Lin Qingtong slowly raised her eyes and met Xu Huimin's gaze, gave a provocative smile, and called out in a soft and lingering voice.
"Honey~"
This call immediately changed Xu Huimin's expression. She was extremely nervous. Could it be that Lin Qingtong and Jiang Hao had made up again?
If they don't divorce and instead give their son to Lin Qingtong to raise, wouldn't I be losing out instead of getting ahead?
Seeing Xu Huimin's expression change, Lin Qingtong's lips curled slightly, and she took a step forward.
She stepped forward, put her arm around Jiang Hao's shoulder, smiled thoughtfully, and slowly began to speak.
"It would be bad if this crazy woman frightened my uncle."
As she walked forward, Shen Tinghe did not let go of her hand. Instead, he took a step to get closer to her, and their fingers intertwined.
Lin Qingtong turned her head and gave him a look, warning him not to play with fire, but found that Shen Tinghe was gently teasing her palm with his thumb.
His aloof and refined demeanor contrasted sharply with the things he was doing at the moment.
Lin Qingtong's breath caught in her throat for a moment. She was extremely tense, her throat dry and itchy, afraid that Jiang Hao and Xu Huimin would notice something.
Seeing her so nervous, Shen Tinghe's brows furrowed with anger. He leaned close to Lin Qingtong's ear and whispered, "His mistress is pregnant and has come knocking on our door. And you still want to run the company for him?"
"Nephew's wife, it seems you really love him!"
"Then why did you bother to provoke me?"
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it!"
Lin Qingtong stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move or even make a sound.
If Jiang Hao finds out at this point, not only will she not be able to get a divorce, but she will also be falsely accused!
She could only grit her teeth and pretend to be calm.
"This has nothing to do with you! Let go of me!"
Shen Tinghe refused, and put one hand on Lin Qingtong's waist.
"How can it be nothing? You're my nephew's wife, so it's only right and proper that I take good care of you!"
Shen Tinghe emphasized the word "take care" and applied slight pressure to his hand.
Lin Qingtong was startled and almost shouted out.
She lowered her voice, looking angrily at Shen Tinghe, "Shen Tinghe, are you crazy!"
Shen Tinghe disagreed.
"If you divorce him now and be with me, what I said before still stands!"
"impossible!"
Lin Qingtong kept a close eye on the situation ahead, fearing that Jiang Hao might turn around at this moment.
Fortunately, Jiang Hao was trying to conceal his relationship with Xu Huimin and didn't pay attention to what was behind him.
He took two steps forward with a slight hesitation, then explained to Shen Tinghe after Xu Huimin, "Uncle, this crazy woman is a little hard of hearing. Let me explain to her carefully!"
Ignoring whether Shen Tinghe replied, he whispered to Xu Huimin, "Go back quickly! If my uncle withdraws his investment, the family will doubt my abilities and be even less comfortable letting me inherit the family fortune. Don't you want our son to have a good life?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Huimin lowered her eyes, her eyes reddening as she clutched the lunchbox tightly, and answered softly.
"But I just wanted to come see you—"
Helpless, Jiang Hao could only keep his distance while coaxing Xu Huimin, all the while fearing that Shen Tinghe would notice something.
Over here, Lin Qingtong raised her hand, trying to shake off Shen Tinghe's hand.
But the other person moved closer instead, their imposing chest pressed against the back of her shoulder blades.
Shen Tinghe leaned down slightly, his warm breath falling on her ear, and reminded her in a voice that only Lin Qingtong could hear.
"Is it exciting?"
Lin Qingtong felt a tingling, numbing sensation spread from her ears to her entire body, and a faint hint of desire welled up in her eyes.
She turned her head to meet Shen Tinghe's dark eyes, and immediately felt flustered, her hand subtly retracting.
"Uncle, aren't you afraid your sister will find out that you're seducing your nephew's wife? Someone like you should be terrified of being ruined, right?"
Lin Qingtong's light-colored pupils shimmered with tiny, sparkling lights, and her red lips were tightly pressed together, revealing a hint of nervousness.
She really couldn't figure out what Shen Tinghe was trying to do.
Shen Tinghe curled his lips into a cold smile, and suddenly stretched out his other hand, slipping it under the hem of his skirt from behind and slowly sweeping over it.
"You shouldn't call me 'little uncle'."
Lin Qingtong frowned slightly, her breathing quickened, and her eyes were full of annoyance.
How did I end up getting involved with such a madman? If I don't call him my uncle, what should I call him?
She pursed her lips before calling out in a trembling voice.
"Shen Tinghe!"
Shen Tinghe seemed dissatisfied, pressing his hot body even closer, his voice still cold.
"Wrong again."
Lin Qingtong frowned even more deeply and raised her hand to try to stop Shen Tinghe's next move.
She was restrained by Shen Tinghe with one hand behind her back, and the repetition was repeated.
"This is your last chance, call me husband."
Helpless, Lin Qingtong could only adjust her breathing and was about to speak again.
Shen Tinghe suddenly grabbed her waist and lifted her up with force.
She couldn't help but gasp, the call that had been half-spoken between her lips and teeth bursting out.
"You're dreaming!"
Just then, a cold voice came.
"What are you doing!"
