Chapter 712 Cherish the time spent with Qi Yue
Lin Yun left, or rather, fled in disarray.
Shen Anning did not stop her.
But he didn't intend to let her off the hook.
Five years later, she personally settled the 'debt of naivety' she incurred when she was young and had a moment of weakness!
She put the voice recorder and the video footage copied from the monitor into a file folder.
Then she called Xiaoxue in.
"Deliver this document bag to Qin's Hospital immediately and give it to Luo Dongjin," Shen Anning instructed. "You must personally hand it to Luo Dongjin."
"Okay." Xiaoxue nodded, took the file bag, and headed straight to the hospital.
A dozen minutes later, the matcha cake that Qi Yue had his assistant deliver arrived.
Shen Anning held a small piece of matcha cake, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and enjoyed the sunset while eating the matcha cake.
The cream was sweet with a hint of bitter matcha, which she liked.
The phone on the table vibrated; it was an unknown number.
Shen Anning wasn't in a hurry; she ate two more bites of matcha cake before slowly turning around.
She placed the cake on the table, swiped to answer the call, and pressed speakerphone.
"Miss Shen, it's me." Luo Dongjin's tired, hoarse voice came from the phone.
“Uncle Luo,” Shen Anning said, sitting in her executive chair with her eyes on her phone, “It’s been a long time. It’s a shame that our first contact in five years is in such a distressing way.”
“Miss Chen, I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have said that to you…”
"No need to apologize to me, I didn't listen to the contents of that recording pen." Shen Anning said calmly, "Uncle Luo, I know you genuinely care about Qi Yue, but sometimes concern can cloud judgment."
"Lin Yun has had a tough time..."
“If you’re calling to plead for Lin Yun,” Shen Anning interrupted him, “then I don’t think we need to talk.”
“I’m not pleading for her, it’s just…” Luo Dongjin sighed, “Miss Shen, can you tell me what your plans are?”
“I helped her five years ago, but she didn’t feel that I had helped her. Since that’s the case, I had no choice but to withdraw my kindness.”
“I will try to persuade Lin Yun. I know she doesn’t deserve to stay at Ronghao Group anymore. How about this, I’ll let her go abroad? I promise she won’t bother you and Qi Yue again…”
“Uncle Luo, she’s not worth you going against your principles to protect her.” Shen Anning gently stroked her belly with her fingertips. “Don’t plead for Lin Yun anymore. Just pretend you don’t know anything. This time, I will prove to you that we all misjudged Lin Yun.”
After saying that, Shen Anning hung up the phone.
...
In the hospital, Luo Dongjin listened to the busy tone on the phone, his expression complex.
Xiaoxue took the things away again; this was Shen Anning's intention.
The ward door closed, and Luo Dongjin sat on the hospital bed, lost in thought.
Luo Dongjin didn't even notice when Lin Yun pushed open the ward door.
"Godfather."
The woman's gentle voice roused Luo Dongjin from his thoughts.
Luo Dongjin turned his head and saw Lin Yun carrying a takeout box.
"This is something I got from Pinxuan Pavilion. I asked them to make it rather bland. You must be hungry."
Looking at Lin Yun, who cared for him so much, Luo Dongjin felt a mix of emotions.
"Xiaoyun, you're so busy with work every day. Go relax after work instead of always coming to the hospital. When will you ever get a boyfriend if you keep coming like this?"
Lin Yun paused, then looked up at Luo Dongjin, "Godfather, you're not going to set me up on blind dates again, are you?"
"I have a few candidates. There are several young people in the group, all department heads, around your age. Would you like to..."
“Godfather!” Lin Yun interrupted him, “The most important thing now is to get well. My affairs are not in a hurry.”
Luo Dongjin pursed his lips and sighed, "I'm almost thirty, if I keep dragging this on, I'll be an old maid..."
"Godfather," Lin Yun said angrily, "I'm going to get angry if you say that!"
Luo Dongjin smiled, concealing the complex emotions in his heart, and smiled helplessly: "I was just joking. It's just that seeing President Qi and Miss Shen finally get married makes me worry about your personal life."
Lin Yun paused in opening the lunchbox, a flash of resentment crossing her eyes.
She said, "Then when I go up Mingyuan Mountain tomorrow, I'll draw a fortune stick and ask the gods for their guidance."
"You can draw a marriage fortune stick."
"Okay, I understand..."
…
Qi Yue arrived at the law firm at 5:30.
Shen Anning had just finished eating a small piece of matcha cake and was taking a slow walk in the office to digest.
There was a knock on the office door.
"Please come in."
The door opened, and a man in a suit and tie walked in.
When Shen Anning saw him, her eyebrows curved into a smile.
"You're not late, are you?" Qi Yue walked over, naturally putting one arm around her shoulder, and gently touching her slightly protruding belly with his other hand.
"You're here too early." Shen Anning smiled slightly. "My senior sister is still busy and might not arrive until six o'clock."
"It's alright," Qi Yue said with a smile. "Half an hour is just enough time for me to read a story to the baby."
Shen Anning was amused, "You're seizing every opportunity to give the baby prenatal education now!"
"Of course, the book says that if the father does prenatal education frequently, the baby will recognize the father's voice when the baby is born. I will take care of the baby then, and you just need to focus on taking care of your health."
Shen Anning smiled, her heart softening at his words.
Qi Yue asked her, "Have you finished the cake?"
"I ate a small piece." Shen Anning pointed to the cake that was still more than half full on the coffee table. "I can't eat too much, or I might fail the glucose tolerance test."
"Then eat a little each time, and after you give birth, you can eat as much as you want."
"good."
The two sat down on the sofa.
Qi Yue took out his phone, opened the app, and found a prenatal education story. "Do you want to lie down and rest for a bit?"
Shen Anning nodded, turned over and lay down on her side, resting her head on Qi Yue's lap.
Qi Yue placed one hand on her stomach and held his phone in the other, clearing his throat, "Once upon a time, there was a beautiful little rabbit..."
Shen Anning closed her eyes and listened to the man's deep reading voice, her body and mind gradually relaxing.
Lin Yun's influence on Shen Anning was actually not significant.
Rather than living in fear and being controlled by others, it's better to close your eyes and take a gamble.
She was betting on Lin Yun's ambition and on Lin Yun's love for Qi Yue.
It's all about gambling, this damned, cruel fate!
Before the results came out, all she could do was cherish every moment she spent with Qi Yue.
...
Qi Yue suspected that Shen Anning was pregnant with twins.
Her sleep is now so good that it has amazed him!
She fell into a deep sleep almost as soon as she closed her eyes, in less than half a minute.
Qi Yue lowered his voice and stopped stroking his abdomen.
The woman's eyes were closed, her sleeping face serene.
I can't help but want to kiss it when I see it.
Once I thought about it, I did it.
Qi Yue lowered his head, his thin lips gently touching the corner of Shen Anning's lips—
"Anning, I'm done with my work..."
The office door was suddenly pushed open, and Chu Yuke stopped abruptly in her tracks as she walked in!
Qi Yue raised his head and looked towards the doorway, his deep eyes narrowed slightly, carrying a hint of coldness.
Chu Yuke: "..."
Oh no! Why didn't Xiaoxue tell her that Qi Yue had already arrived!
Startled awake by the noise, Shen Anning rubbed her eyes. "I accidentally fell asleep again..."
She was still a little dazed. She propped herself up on the sofa and sat up, but accidentally put one hand on Qi Yue's thigh!
The man let out a muffled groan, and Shen Anning paused.
Chu Yuke: "..."
She shouldn't be here!
"Sorry to bother you, I'll wait for you outside!" Chu Yuke said before leaving, quickly closing the door behind her.
With a 'bang,' the office fell silent instantly.
Shen Anning stared at the door for a while before turning to Qi Yue, "What happened to my senior sister?"
Are you sure you want to care about your senior sister right now?
Shen Anning: "?"
Qi Yue narrowed his deep eyes slightly, lowered his head, and looked down.
Shen Anning followed his gaze downwards—
"..."
After a few seconds of blankness, Shen Anning quickly withdrew her hand and smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to!"
Qi Yue pinched her soft cheeks; they felt wonderful.
Unable to resist, he lowered his head and gently pecked her pink lips again.
The man's voice was low and husky, "You idiot, if you bet any more off-center, your future happiness will be in jeopardy."
Shen Anning: "..."
