After Divorce, Hidden Marriage Husband Became Addicted to Me-Chapter 647 - 390: _4

Huo Yanshu nodded, silently consenting.

Thus, while the men discussed business matters, Rong Yanqiao and Lin Quan sat at a small round table.

Lin Quan’s assistant brought them a selection of snacks, including little cakes and juices.

Even to prevent them from feeling bored, she also prepared some sunflower seeds.

"Miss Rong, weren’t you involved in the entertainment industry? Why the shift to the business scene recently? Is it because of Mr. Huo?" Lin Quan smiled somewhat teasingly, initiating the conversation with Rong Yanqiao.

Rong Yanqiao’s lips curled into a bright smile, "Because doing something for a man is foolish, a woman should live for herself. Miss Lin, are you planning to be a full-time housewife after getting married?"

"Yes, I’m pregnant. If Miss Rong is free, we could meet."

As she spoke, Lin Quan tenderly stroked her belly with affection.

Motherhood indeed.

She noticed though, that Lin Quan’s dress was loose-fitting, and she seemed to be quite far along in her pregnancy.

Recalling her time with Zhao Yixing, she scrimped and saved from her internship days, channeling her earnings to support Zhao Yixing’s postgraduate studies, ensuring he could eat well. Each time she finished treating patients or surgeries, too weary to rest, she would take up part-time gigs outside.

All the money she gave to Zhao Yixing was for the hopes of a beautiful future together.

But then, Zhao Yixing turned to hook up with Lin Quan.

To break up with her was one thing, but she was determined to reclaim her financial contributions, amounting to how much in total?

Now with a wealthy girl, what did the money mean to him! Yet for money, he could brutally trap her in a raging inferno...

"Miss Rong?"

Seeing that Rong Yanqiao hadn’t responded but seemed distracted, Lin Quan gently called out to remind her.

Rong Yanqiao returned from her reverie with a smile, "Sorry, I was just lost in thought for a moment."

"Miss Rong..."

"You can just call me by my first name."

"Then you can call me by my first name, too."

It seemed Lin Quan was interested in becoming friends.

Since becoming Rong Yanqiao, she only made one friend, Xu Wei. She wasn’t inclined to widely socialize with others.

But since Lin Quan was reaching out, why not reciprocate her gesture?

Rong Yanqiao said, "Then let’s not stand on ceremony. I am interested in discussing a partnership with the Lin family, as my boyfriend has dealings with them. Just now you mentioned H company to your fiancé. Lin Quan, are you still handling company matters, or has everything been handed over to your fiancé already?"

Lin Quan had come to the banquet alongside Zhao Yixing, noticing that Rong Yanqiao had also attended with Huo Yanshu, probably to ease communication between women.

She hadn’t expected Rong Yanqiao to be even more forthright.

Lin Quan sipped her juice, "Yixing still wants to prove himself. If I step back completely, the company and outsiders would have objections. After all, there’s a difference between Yixing’s and my family backgrounds."

Between her words, Lin Quan was clearly protective of Zhao Yixing, indicating Zhao Yixing had charmed her well.

Zhao Yixing was using Lin Quan to change his fate. If she had died, indeed nothing would have stood in his way. But she didn’t die, and returned with a new identity; why should she make things easy for Zhao Yixing?

"Your concerns are not unfounded. Since you haven’t fully stepped down, and I have ideas about this, we indeed have prospects for ongoing interaction. How about we exchange WeChat?"

As she spoke, Rong Yanqiao took out her cellphone.

Lin Quan was quick, and just like that, they added each other as friends.

Lin Quan liked to listen, and Rong Yanqiao would say whatever interested him. In Lin Quan’s eyes, Rong Yanqiao had a pleasant personality and did not flaunt her Rong Family status at all.

"So, when do you and CEO Huo plan to get engaged?"

Wealthy people often get engaged first.

"Hu and he are not moving as quickly as you guys..."

"It’s not quick, he and I talked for a long time before confirming our relationship. Actually, I didn’t want to get married so early either, but then I got pregnant, and aborting would harm my body too much. Yixing said he could strive harder to prove himself, but he couldn’t let anything happen to the innocent child," Lin Quan said as she stroked her belly and sighed.

Zhao Yixing felt like killing her, so resolute and decisive, he told Lin Quan that they couldn’t let anything happen to the innocent child. In the end, he was still coaxing Lin Quan to keep the child.

With the months passing, Zhao Yixing could transform into the Lin family’s son-in-law by using the child, and though Lin Quan could not step down for the time being, Zhao Yixing planned to coax Lin Quan into stepping down gradually using his methods.

By that time...

The image of Zhao Yixing’s fierce and indifferent face emerged in Rong Yanqiao’s mind, and she could even foresee all of Zhao Yixing’s plans.

"Getting married early does have its advantages, but for me, I won’t give up my job too early. Taking care of a child and working can go hand in hand."

Rong Yanqiao said this while observing Lin Quan’s expression.

Pregnant women are different; they get hungry easily.

Lin Quan’s hands and mouth didn’t stop moving as she spoke.

"So you didn’t have morning sickness during pregnancy, that’s good at least, you have a good appetite. But don’t eat too much; if you gain weight suddenly, you will have stretch marks after giving birth."

"You seem to know a lot."

"Just overheard some senior members in the crew talking idle chitchat."

No sooner had Rong Yanqiao spoken these words than Huo Yanshu and Zhao Yixing approached, and Huo Yanshu happened to hear Rong Yanqiao say this.

What Rong Yanqiao didn’t notice was his cold gaze.

Rong Yanqiao had told him that getting engaged was still far off, she wanted to focus on her career, yet here she was talking to Lin Quan about understanding childbirth; who did Rong Yanqiao want to have a child with?

Due to the presence of outsiders, Huo Yanshu didn’t broach the topic.

Still, Zhao Yixing’s voice rang out, "After we’re done with the banquet, how about going to the seaside? There’s a fireworks show, and we can also go on a cruise."

Huo Yanshu looked at Rong Yanqiao.

Rong Yanqiao nodded, "It’s perfect because I also want to watch a fireworks display."

Rong Yanqiao’s voice always affected Zhao Yixing.

Zhao Yixing dared not look at Rong Yanqiao; he was afraid of becoming delusional because that woman loved fireworks shows, and now Rong Yanqiao had the exact same voice as her!

"Then let’s go together."

Since Rong Yanqiao had spoken up, Huo Yanshu certainly wouldn’t contradict her.

When only the two of them were together, Huo Yanshu asked directly, "I spoke to you about engagement, you told me it’s too early, but then you told Lin Quan you understand about childbirth. Qiaoqiao, can you tell me your true thoughts?"
