The Tycoon's Mysterious Darling Wife-Chapter 482 - 485. Xi Yao is Missing (Mass Release Notice)

Wen Xiyao asked her secretary for her own schedule and readily agreed, but both of them being high-level executives in the company, they certainly couldn’t just drop everything and leave, and besides, they hadn’t even decided where to go yet.

"I have to visit the construction site this afternoon to inspect the work." Wen Xiyao said, "Let’s discuss where to go when I get home tonight, or you can pick a few places, and I’ll choose one."

"Okay, which construction site are you going to this afternoon?" Shen Junyu casually asked.

"The entertainment city that’s being developed in Western City. There’s a slight issue with the project, so I’ll go have a look. It’s not a big problem; I’ll be back soon."

"Alright, don’t forget your phone, and call me if anything comes up." Shen Junyu said gently, and after reminding her a couple more times, they ended the call.

"Lanlan, do you have any good ideas?" Shen Junyu asked his sister, who was lounging on the sofa.

Shen Qinglan glanced at him faintly, "Brother, this is your wife, and it’s a vacation for the two of you. Isn’t it inappropriate to ask me?"

"I haven’t been out and about in a long while either; I’m not very clear on these matters. You could give your brother some guidance." Shen Junyu shamelessly coaxed without a hint of embarrassment.

"I’m really curious now, how did you manage to ’trick’ Sister Xiyao into your hands?"

Shen Junyu glared, "What do you mean ’trick’? I conquered your sister-in-law with my personal charm."

Hehe, Shen Qinglan gave a light laugh, offering no further comments, "It’s about time; I should head home."

"Aren’t you going to have lunch with your brother?" Shen Junyu raised an eyebrow, "It’s been quite a while since you last accompanied me for a meal, hasn’t it?"

Shen Qinglan thought about it and realized that was true, "Alright then, let’s go."

Shen Junyu stood up, picked up his suit jacket from the back of the chair, and left the company with Shen Qinglan. They chose a nearby restaurant, where Shen Qinglan ordered several dishes and casually looked out of the window, catching sight of a scene on the roadside.

**********

Li Bo Ming watched the woman before him with a cold gaze, "Tong Yushi, I’ve made myself clear, and the hotel staff can also prove that the person with you that night was not me. Why are you still pestering me?" He had made lunch plans with a client that day, and just as he had seen the client off, Tong Yushi came rushing out.

Ever since talking to Shen Qinglan, Li Bo Ming went to the hotel the next day. Finding that the service worker was back, he had inquired about the morning’s events. It turned out his room was neat as a pin, while the one next door was a complete mess, the air heavy with the after-scent of a man and woman’s tryst, and Tong Yushi had come out from that next-door room.

"You heard what the hotel employee said, and now we’ve cleared things up. What you need to do is find the person who spent the night with you at the hotel, not me." Li Bo Ming was getting impatient.

Tong Yushi stared at Li Bo Ming steadily, "I was almost fooled by you. Yes, that’s what the hotel staff said, but who can prove her words are definitely true? What if you paid her to say that? Money talks, and it wouldn’t be hard for you to bribe her."

"You’re simply being unreasonable. Do I need to do that?" Li Bo Ming was exasperated by her wild imagination.

"Bo Ming, I know you don’t like me, so you’re using this lie to deceive me, right? But let me tell you, I won’t believe it. The child I’m carrying is yours, and no matter what, I will give birth to it. Then we’ll do a paternity test." Tong Yushi had been truly shocked by Li Bo Ming’s words at first, thinking it over for several days at home, but she had gone over every detail of that night and was certain the man was definitely Li Bo Ming. He claimed she had gone out and never returned; was she supposed to vanish into thin air?

She had checked the hotel records, and though the registration was for the room booked by Li Bomming, who’s to say such records couldn’t be faked? After all, Li Bomming could smooth over everything with money, couldn’t he?

Li Bomming laughed, his smile tinged with cruelty, "If you insist on doing so, then go ahead." Clearly, the child wasn’t his. He had already explained this to Tong Yushi, but she refused to believe it and insisted on bearing the child for a paternity test. He wasn’t afraid; what he feared was that the person before him wouldn’t be able to handle the truth.

"Bomming, please don’t be so cruel to me. I just love you. Right now, I’m not asking you to divorce your wife. I know she’s pregnant too. All I want is for you to treat me and the child a bit better, just a little bit. Is that too much to ask for?" Tong Yushi was practically pleading with Li Bomming.

Li Bomming remained unmoved. Don’t blame him for being heartless; he had no feelings for Tong Yushi. Her affairs were not his concern. If he showed her kindness out of pity, it would only complicate matters more, especially now that Fang Tong was pregnant and couldn’t afford to be upset. Her feelings had to be considered.

Their commotion had already attracted the attention of passersby. It was impossible not to notice Tong Yushi weeping so pitifully, and some had even taken out their phones to record. Li Bomming’s expression changed, and he quickly pulled Tong Yushi into his car, "Tong Yushi, I’ve told you countless times, what happened has nothing to do with me. The man who was with you that night wasn’t me. I’m not afraid of you bearing the child; after all, it’s not mine, and I’m not scared. But what are you going to do? Tong Yushi, this isn’t me shirking responsibility. This is the last time I will say this to you, whether you believe it or not. I won’t repeat myself. Whether you choose to keep the child or abort it is of no concern to me, but if you dare approach my wife and spread nonsense, I will not let you off."

Tong Yushi couldn’t believe such cold-hearted words were spoken by Li Bomming, who had always seemed so gentlemanly. Could he really love that woman so much that he couldn’t stand her being slightly aggrieved, to the extent that he would sacrifice his own child?

At this moment, her mind was consumed by the thought of Li Bomming being madly in love with Fang Tong, not even considering the possibility—had the man that night truly been Li Bomming, would he still have the audacity to stand so righteous?

It was her irrationality now that led to Tong Yushi’s ultimate tragedy. She constantly wondered whether her life would have been different had she listened to Li Bomming then.

"Now, please get out of the car and do not come looking for me again," Li Bomming said coldly.

Tong Yushi looked at his icy profile through tearful eyes. The tenderness she longed for was absent; instead, there was only ruthless coldness. Why was it that Fang Tong could receive Li Bomming’s love and protection, while she was so despised by him that he couldn’t even bear to glance at her?

"Li Bomming, do you really have to be this heartless with me?"

Li Bomming was not swayed an inch, "Please get out of the car."

"Fine, you’ll regret this, Li Bomming!" Tong Yushi spat out a harsh statement and then left without looking back.

What Shen Qinglan witnessed was Li Bomming pulling Tong Yushi into the car. She frowned slightly—was Li Bomming still not finished dealing with this matter? She had thought it was already over.

"Lanlan, what are you looking at?" Shen Junyu asked, noticing that Shen Qinglan had been looking outside for quite some time.

"It’s nothing. I thought I saw someone familiar, but I realized I was mistaken," Shen Qinglan withdrew her gaze and replied lightly.

Shen Junyu didn’t dwell on it and simply said, "Let’s hurry up and eat."

Shen Qinglan took a few bites and then turned to her brother, "Brother, has Fang Tong gone back to work?"

"Yes, she went back as soon as her third month was over. I wanted to give her a few more months off, but she didn’t want that. She said the pregnancy was stable and she wanted to continue working," Shen Junyu explained, clarifying that he wasn’t the type to exploit his employees.

Shen Qinglan laughed, "That’s not what I was asking. How has her work been lately?"

"It should be okay, I guess. I’m not too sure, though. Should I go and check?"

Shen Qinglan shook her head, "No need for that, brother. Could you take me home later? I didn’t drive today."

"Okay."

After dinner, Shen Junyu dropped his sister off at home, and then he decided to stay, engrossed in his tablet, looking for various travel routes. "Lanlan, what do you think about this itinerary? It’s all vineyards, so we can taste different wines. I think this one is good too—the sea here is very clean, Xi Yao likes diving, and they have diving activities, she should like it. This one is also good, we can go skiing. Lanlan, come help me see which route is better, hurry up."

Shen Qinglan was playing with Anan, stacking blocks. Hearing Shen Junyu calling, she got up and glanced at a few routes, then pointed to one and said, "This one is good, you can drink red wine, dive, and this country has a lot of distinctive foods that taste pretty good."

Shen Junyu looked carefully at the route Shen Qinglan suggested, which he hadn’t considered before, as they were all small countries.

"Lanlan, how do you know this country has a lot of specialty foods?" It’s such a small country, there shouldn’t be many people who go there, right?

"It’s been mentioned by Xiao Xuan before." Yu Xiaoxuan was a foodie, everyone knew that, and naturally, Shen Junyu knew it too, "If she mentioned it, then it’s definitely right."

Shen Qinglan just smiled, not mentioning that she had once spent some time in that small country on a mission.

"I’ll look into this route some more."

"Actually, you can also consider visiting the neighboring countries; the surrounding small nations are all nice places with simple folk customs and distinct characteristics, plus they have easy visa processes." Seeing that Shen Junyu didn’t seem completely satisfied, Shen Qinglan then offered her suggestion.

Uncle, play with me." Anan ran over and grabbed Shen Junyu’s hand, and he immediately put the tablet down, "Okay."

Shen Qinglan was in the middle of talking, and he had vanished. She shook her head, picked up the tablet, and started planning the route for Shen Junyu, adding some textual descriptions, which included some summaries about the scenic spots along the way.

Shen Junyu stayed until the evening before going home after dinner, only to find that Wen Xiyao had not yet returned home. Shen Junyu found it strange, wasn’t she supposed to not work overtime today? Yet, she wasn’t home yet.

Shen Junyu called Wen Xiyao, but no one answered. Frowning, he then called Wen Xiyao’s secretary, "President Wen left early, she said at noon that she was going to visit a construction site and then head home. According to the timing, President Wen should have already been home by now." The secretary was also puzzled.

"Call the person in charge of the construction site and ask if President Wen went there," said Shen Junyu.

"Okay." The secretary hung up, and soon called back, "The person in charge said that President Wen did indeed go to the construction site today but left not long after."

"She didn’t come back, and her phone is off—I can’t reach her." Shen Junyu’s heart sank drastically, and his face changed color.

The secretary’s face also changed, "President Wen hasn’t had an accident, has she?"

"Don’t panic yet, I’ll go out and look for her now, and you contact the person in charge of the construction site again to ask when Xi Yao left."

"Okay."

Shen Junyu grabbed his car keys and left the house. He hadn’t driven far when the secretary’s call came in, "President Shen, the person in charge just told me that President Wen’s car is still parked at the entrance of the construction site; it seems President Wen is still in there. I’m leaving right now."

"No need, I’ll go. Keep in contact, and there should still be people at the construction site. Tell them to look as well, see if they can find Xi Yao’s whereabouts."

Shen Junyu made a turn and headed towards the city.

He knew this construction site; it was Xinhe International’s largest project this year, or even for the next two years—it was highly valued. Still, for some reason, the site had been plagued with incidents ever since construction began. While they weren’t serious issues, senior company executives including project leader Wen Xiyao often had to visit.

Upon arriving, Shen Junyu saw the lights on the construction site. He had accompanied Wen Xiyao to the site once, so the person in charge recognized him, "President Shen, you’ve arrived."

"Is President Wen found?" Shen Junyu asked.

"Not yet. After inspecting the work this afternoon, President Wen left, and everyone assumed she had gone. If it weren’t for President Wen’s secretary calling saying she was missing, we’d still be unaware. We then found President Wen’s car at the construction site entrance, and we’re gathering people to look for her."

"Let’s search quickly," Shen Junyu said with a stern voice. "Give me a flashlight, I’m going too."

The person in charge hurriedly took a flashlight from someone nearby and handed it to Shen Junyu, "Don’t worry, President Shen, if President Wen is still on the site, we will surely find her."

How could Shen Junyu possibly not worry, he was frantic.

The entertainment city covered a large area; once completed, it would be the largest entertainment city in Western City and even the entire Beijing. Finding one person in such a vast construction site at night was extraordinarily difficult.

It was now evening, and many construction workers had gone home, leaving few people on-site, which made the search even harder.

"You go that way, I’ll go this way, let’s split up to be faster," Shen Junyu said.

The person in charge shook his head, "How can this be okay? It’s better to have someone with you for assistance." With President Wen’s whereabouts unknown, it would be problematic if something happened to Shen Junyu as well.

"Don’t waste time talking, what could happen to a big man like me? Finding Xi Yao is what’s most important now. If you find her first, call me. You have my contact information from before, right?"

"I have it." Seeing Shen Junyu’s insistence, the person in charge could only agree to his suggestion. "Be careful on your own, President Shen."

Shen Junyu waved his hand, signaling him to hurry off.

"Xi Yao, Wen Xiyao," Shen Junyu called out her name loudly, thinking that Wen Xiyao must be trapped somewhere on the construction site. If only he had come with her this afternoon.

But it was too late for such thoughts; finding Wen Xiyao as soon as possible was what mattered now.

The flashlight’s beam was not very strong, revealing only a small area at his feet in the darkness.

"Xi Yao, Wen Xiyao!" Shen Junyu shouted loudly, but no one answered.

In a corner of the construction site, Wen Xiyao woke up from the darkness, feeling a large bump on her forehead.

She groaned, inhaling sharply in pain. Trying to stand up, she felt a piercing pain in her ankle—it was definitely sprained, she thought, so she had no choice but to give up.

The surroundings were very dark, and she couldn’t see clearly. She could only guess that she must still be on the construction site. "Is anyone there?" Wen Xiyao called out loudly, but it was dead silent outside—there was no one around. She thought about it and decided to make a phone call. Thankfully, her purse was right next to her, and she found it with a touch.

Just as she took out her cell phone and was about to make a call, she realized it was out of battery. Wen Xiyao’s face darkened, a look of urgency in her eyes. She didn’t know what time it was now, but seeing how it was completely dark outside, she hadn’t made it back home yet, and Shen Junyu must be worried.

Wen Xiyao was also getting anxious now. Her cell phone was dead, and she couldn’t contact Shen Junyu. No one answered her calls for help, and now her foot was sprained, and she couldn’t move at all. Was she really going to wait until the workers arrived in the morning before being discovered? If it really came to that, Shen Junyu would truly be frantic.

Wen Xiyao was trying to think of a solution. She didn’t know what time it was now or how long she had been out of touch, but no matter how long it had been, Shen Junyu must have noticed her absence by now and was definitely on his way here—perhaps he was already close by. She calmed down and listened intently to any noise outside, but heard nothing.

Wen Xiyao tried to stand up again, but the pain in her ankle was too intense. She just couldn’t move and had no choice but to give up.

Just as she was at a loss for what to do, she vaguely heard someone calling her name. Her eyes lit up, "I am here. Is anyone there?" she shouted loudly toward the outside, trying to draw attention.

But the voice outside seemed to be getting further and further away until she could no longer hear it. She hung her head in dejection. What should she do now?

"Xiyao, where are you? If you hear me, respond. Xiyao." Shen Junyu’s powerful voice floated through the night sky, unsteadily reaching Wen Xiyao’s ears. Her eyes suddenly brightened, "Junyu, I’m here," she shouted with all her strength.

Just as Shen Junyu was frantic with worry, Wen Xiyao’s voice just like that appeared in his world. He carefully determined the direction and quickly walked over. When the beam of his flashlight appeared in front of Wen Xiyao, she almost couldn’t believe that the man who had appeared before her was indeed Shen Junyu.

"Junyu, it’s really you," Wen Xiyao said with a face full of surprise.

She looked somewhat disheveled at the moment, with dust all over her clothes and her hair in disarray. There was also some blood on her forehead. Shen Junyu noticed the blood on her forehead, and his expression shifted slightly, "You’re injured."

Wen Xiyao thought he was referring to her foot and said, "My foot is sprained, but it’s fine, I’m not injured anywhere else." Shen Junyu quickly walked over and shone the flashlight carefully on her forehead, finding that it was just a little skin that had been scraped off. He was slightly relieved.

"Aside from the forehead and foot, do you have injuries anywhere else?" Shen Junyu asked.

Wen Xiyao shook her head, "No, that’s all." Shen Junyu couldn’t wait to ask her what exactly happened; instead, he stuffed the flashlight into her hand, swept her up in his arms, and decided to head back first to discuss it later.

Finding Wen Xiyao was a piece of good news. Shen Junyu thanked the person in charge of the construction site, told him to take care of the aftermath, and then left with Wen Xiyao. Throughout the ride, Shen Junyu’s face was stern, and Wen Xiyao didn’t dare to speak, sitting quietly on one side.

Shen Junyu first took Wen Xiyao to the hospital. Apart from the injuries to her foot and forehead, she also had some scrapes on her hands and legs, but they were all superficial and nothing serious.

"Remember not to get the wounds wet in the next couple of days," the doctor advised.

Shen Junyu nodded, "Thank you, Doctor." He then carried Wen Xiyao back to the car and drove home.

Wen Xiyao’s clothes were dirty and needed to be washed immediately.

Shen Junyu washed her silently without a word, and during the process, Wen Xiyao tried several times to speak up to explain, but facing Shen Junyu’s grim face, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything.

"Junyu, are you still angry with me?" After the bath, Wen Xiyao spoke, tugging at the hem of Shen Junyu’s clothes. His face still looked very unpleasant. Hearing Wen Xiyao’s words, he said coolly, "Didn’t you go to the construction site today to inspect the work? How did you get injured?"

Mentioning this matter, Wen Xiyao sighed at her misfortune; she never expected a routine inspection to turn out like this.

That afternoon, after finishing her inspection, Wen Xiyao returned, but halfway through her journey, she realized the bracelet on her wrist was gone; it was a birthday present from Shen Junyu, and it had been there at noon. She thought it must have fallen at the construction site, so she turned back to look for it.

She had almost covered the whole construction site today and had no idea where the bracelet could be. As she was walking near a building, her foot suddenly slipped, and she fell straight down, landing on the lower level where she hit her head on a rock. Everything went dark, and she fainted; when she woke up, she found herself in the state Shen Junyu saw her.

"For a bracelet, was it really worth it?" Shen Junyu said, clearly irritated, not expecting the culprit to be a bracelet. Wen Xiyao felt a bit wronged, "But it was a bracelet you gave me."

"It’s just a bracelet, if it’s lost, it’s lost. I can give you another one in the future," Shen Junyu felt that a bracelet was nowhere as important as his wife’s safety. Today she was lucky, it was just a scrape—if she had been less lucky and her head injury had been deeper, left undiscovered, blood loss alone could have been fatal. Thinking of this, Shen Junyu felt a wave of relief yet fright.

"It’s not the same; it was a birthday present from you, how could I lose it?"

"So you think it’s okay to disregard your safety over a mere bracelet?"

"I didn’t think it would turn out like this, had I known, I wouldn’t have gone back for the bracelet." Wen Xiyao was also feeling aggrieved; this deal had cost her dearly.

Shen Junyu couldn’t help but ask, "Did you find the bracelet?"

Wen Xiyao shook her head. Shen Junyu sighed, "Stop looking for it. If you really like it, I’ll get you an even nicer one next time."

Wen Xiyao hugged Shen Junyu’s waist, "Junyu, I’m sorry for making you worry this time."

Shen Junyu gently pinched her face, "Of course I was worried; I was going insane. Didn’t I tell you to carry your phone with you? Where’s your phone now?"

"The phone was with me, but it ran out of power," speaking of which, Wen Xiyao felt like crying. How could she be so unlucky?

"Remember to put a portable charger in your bag next time you go out, got it?"

"Got it."

Knowing she had been through a lot today and was tired, Shen Junyu couldn’t bear to scold her, "Alright, it’s getting late, let’s rest early today."

Dong Xinhe found out that Wen Xiyao had been injured while inspecting the construction site and, with a grand gesture, gave Wen Xiyao a week off. Looking at her foot, Wen Xiyao expressed regret, "To spend the vacation healing at home, sigh." She held a tablet in her hand, displaying the vacation itinerary planned by Shen Junyu, "Junyu, should we just go on the trip? It’s just a minor scrape; it will heal quickly."

Shen Junyu, who was busy applying medicine to her foot, glanced at her irritably when he heard this. He pressed lightly on her swollen ankle, which looked like a bun, and Wen Xiyao gasped in pain, "Shen Junyu, are you trying to murder your wife?"

"Now you feel the pain? How can you go out and have fun like this?"

Feeling deflated, Wen Xiyao lay on the couch, "Do I have to stay home for these seven days? This seems such a waste; we haven’t gone on a vacation in so long." She wailed.

Shen Junyu thought it over, "Your foot will need at least two days to completely reduce the swelling, and you’ll be able to walk in about four or five days; going out now is not possible, but how about your husband takes you around Beijing instead? You haven’t really explored Beijing, have you?"

"I did visit a few places when I was in university, but that was several years ago," Wen Xiyao expressed interest in Shen Junyu’s suggestion.

The decision was made. To prevent Wen Xiyao from getting bored alone at home, Shen Junyu decided to work from home these past few days. He had his assistant, Yu Bin, deliver documents to his house every day and then take them back the next day, using the phone for any urgent matters.

"Jun Yu, give me a piggyback ride," Wen Xiyao said as night fell, gazing at the moonlight outside the window. Shen Junyu looked up at her, "Where would you like to go?"

"Anywhere is fine."

Shen Junyu squatted down in front of her, and Wen Xiyao happily climbed on.

Wen Xiyao wasn’t heavy, and Shen Junyu could easily carry her, walking along the small paths of their community with a faint smile on Wen Xiyao’s lips. "I remember once when there was trouble on the construction site. You came to find me, and you carried me home like this." That time was the first time she felt a man’s shoulders could be so broad and warm.

"You didn’t fall in love with me just because of that, did you?" Shen Junyu chuckled, but he didn’t expect that he had actually guessed Wen Xiyao’s thoughts correctly. "Who told you to be so annoying when we first met? I was thinking, how can there be such an ungentlemanly man in this world."

"What do you mean I was ungentlemanly? You came up without a word and stole my first kiss. I was the one who got upset." Remembering how they first met, Shen Junyu laughed as well. Looking back on it now, it really was melodramatic.

"Was that really your first kiss?" Wen Xiyao was curious. Although it would be normal for Shen Junyu to have had a girlfriend before her, it would definitely be something to be happy about if he didn’t, right?

"What do you think?" Shen Junyu asked indifferently in response.

Wen Xiyao naturally couldn’t just let it go. Since they had brought up the subject, she needed to get to the bottom of it. "Just tell me," she pleaded, lying on Shen Junyu’s back, unconsciously rubbing against him.

Feeling the softness on his back, Shen Junyu’s eyes flickered, and he spoke lightly, "Don’t move around so much, or I can’t guarantee I won’t take you right now."

Wen Xiyao’s face turned red instantly, and she hammered his shoulder indignantly, "What are you daydreaming about all the time?"

"Thinking of you," Shen Junyu answered without hesitation, and Wen Xiyao’s cheeks grew even redder, her eyes filled with a smile.

"Jun Yu, am I heavy? Maybe we should head back home," Wen Xiyao said, having forgotten what she initially wanted to ask because of Shen Junyu’s distraction.

"No problem, I’m not tired," Shen Junyu said with a smile. He exercised regularly, so a walk like this was nothing, especially while carrying Wen Xiyao.

Both of them were usually busy with work and rarely had such leisurely moments. "Jun Yu, when we have kids, I’ll quit my job and then I can just be a full-time housewife, what do you think?" Wen Xiyao suddenly spoke up.

Shen Junyu’s steps paused slightly before he spoke, "Actually, you can continue working. We can hire a nanny to take care of the child." He knew Wen Xiyao was an independent woman and respected her work. Moreover, when they got married, he had agreed that he wouldn’t oppose her working outside.

"Do you not want to take care of me, hmm?" Wen Xiyao feigned a fierce tone.

"Of course not. Whether you want to work or be a full-time housewife, I support either choice. Not just one of you—I could take care of ten of you."

"Dream on, thinking of keeping ten beauties," Wen Xiyao intentionally misinterpreted his words, and Shen Junyu laughed.

"Jun Yu, when did you fall in love with me?" asked Wen Xiyao.

Shen Junyu thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I don’t remember. I fell in love without even realizing it." Who could really tell with matters of the heart? By the time he had realized it, the woman on his back had already taken up residence in his heart.

"I get it. You must have fallen in love with me at first sight," Wen Xiyao narcissistically suggested.

"Do you think any man would fall in love at first sight with your shrew-like demeanor back then?" Shen Junyu asked indifferently.

Wen Xiyao’s face changed color as she tightened her grip around his neck, pretending to be angry, "How dare you call me a shrew."

"Don’t move, don’t move, be careful not to fall off," Shen Junyu quickly steadied himself to prevent actually dropping Wen Xiyao.

The couple playfully scuffled.

***********

Fang Tong looked at the woman who appeared before her, very calm. Tong Yushi observed her, her gaze appraising, "You don’t seem curious at all to see me."

"There’s nothing to be curious about, Miss Tong. Just get straight to the point, why are you looking for me?" Fang Tong’s demeanor remained indifferent.

Tong Yushi took a piece of paper out of her bag and placed it in front of Fang Tong. Fang Tong glanced at her, "What is this?"

"You’ll know once you look at it."

Fang Tong didn’t want to look, but curiosity drove her to pick up the paper. Once she saw the content, her expression subtly changed. Tong Yushi noticed the shift in Fang Tong’s demeanor, a hint of pride and the thrill of revenge flashing through her heart. Wasn’t Li Bomming so precious about his wife? She wanted to see, once Fang Tong knew everything, whether the two of them could still be as affectionate as before. If Fang Tong knew her husband had cheated and had a child with another woman, could she still live happily with him? Tong Yushi would be impressed then.

"Congratulations, Miss Tong. When is your wedding date?" Fang Tong put down the pregnancy test report, her face returning to calm.

Tong Yushi’s expression changed, and she bit her lip, "This child belongs to Li Bomming. I came to you today to ask for your help in persuading him to let me keep the child."

Fang Tong’s calm facade could no longer be maintained, "Miss Tong, please watch your words. How can this child be my Bomming’s? Even if you lie, you shouldn’t tell such lies."

"Do you think I’m using this to deceive you? Look at the date on there. I’ve been pregnant for over a month now. You should remember, right? One night over a month ago, Li Bomming didn’t come home all night and only returned the next morning." Seeing Fang Tong’s complexion change, Tong Yushi knew she had remembered.

"That night, he was with me, and then I got pregnant. Bomming was worried about your health; after all, you are pregnant now, so he wanted me to terminate the pregnancy, but I refused. This is my child with him, and why should I make myself happy merely to please you? That’s why I brought you here today, to let you know, I’m keeping this child."

Fang Tong’s face turned slightly pale, her hands trembling lightly beneath the table. She looked steadily into Tong Yushi’s eyes. During the conversation, there was not the slightest evasion in Tong Yushi’s gaze, which meant she wasn’t lying. But Fang Tong couldn’t believe that Li Bomming would betray her; he wasn’t Ding Minghui, he would never betray her.

Thinking this, Fang Tong gradually calmed down, "I won’t believe a word you say. You claim this child is Li Bomming’s, where is the evidence?"

"I am the best evidence. I can also tell you the name of the hotel. You can check whether or not I entered the hotel with Bomming that night. The hotel has surveillance and registration records. I believe if you look it up, you’ll find it. The hotel isn’t mine; surely, I couldn’t have conjured that up to deceive you too." She spoke confidently, convinced that Fang Tong would believe her words.
