Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!

The man’s intense and burning breath swept towards Jiayi, "...However, our ’cooperation’ this time, I’m afraid it’s not over yet."

She couldn’t care less about his ambiguous posture as he held her, her elbows propped on the railing, very skeptical, "Not over?"

Huo Zhenyang bent down, his ambiguous aura swirling even more intensely between them, his high and handsome nose almost imperceptibly brushing against her delicate skin, "The issue with Mu Qingran has been resolved, but once she truly marries Zhenxuan and has a child, those three, along with Yao Zhenru, might win over the old man’s favor."

Jiayi suddenly understood; he wanted to get rid of Mu Qingran, but he wouldn’t watch his brother curry favor with Huo Tianpei either.

...What was he going to do?

She felt a dangerous aura emanating from the man and couldn’t help but shrink her body slightly.

But Huo Zhenyang had already arched back gracefully, lifting her by her slender waist and straightening up, leaving her body and turning to enter the room.

——*——

The results of the paternity test came out very quickly.

They were delivered to Huo Garden within two days.

The certificate of the test results lay in front of Huo Tianpei: Huo Zhenxuan and the fetus shared a 99.8% probability of a father-son blood relationship.

In other words, the child in Mu Qingran’s womb was indeed Huo Zhenxuan’s.

Huo Tianpei stared at the paternity test results with a complex expression, unable to speak for a long while.

Yao Zhenru accompanied the old master at his side, somewhat nervous, and as soon as she opened her mouth, "Old master..."

Huo Tianpei was already furiously slamming his palm onto the coffee table, causing the ashtray to bounce, "Your ’well-raised’ son is really something, isn’t he? Getting Qingran pregnant by sleeping with her, and making me misunderstand Zhenyang, always thinking it was him who refused to take responsibility, pushing him to marry Qingran!"

Now that things had come to this point, even if Yao Zhenru didn’t want to accept Mu Qingran as a daughter-in-law, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go with the flow, "Old master, since the child is Xuan’s, and Xuan is willing to take responsibility, why not let the two of them get married? Look how sensible our son is, taking the initiative to shoulder the responsibility. Isn’t this also evidence that Xuan has grown up? After getting married, Xuan will have his own family and will surely settle down and become even more sensible."

Yao Zhenru desperately spoke well of her son, finally causing Huo Tianpei’s expression to ease a bit, and he ultimately let out a sigh.

Oh well! What other choice is there?

Although the child in Mu Qingran’s belly wasn’t Zhenyang’s, it was still his own grandchild!

Just then, the butler came in to report, "Old master, madam, the second young master and Miss Mu have returned."

Extracting a fetus’s DNA was somewhat harmful to the pregnant woman, and after the test, Mu Qingran was not feeling well; Huo Zhenxuan stayed with her in the hospital for an extra day of observation before bringing her back to Huo Garden today.

Yao Zhenru hurriedly forced a smile and continued to say good things about her son, "Old master, look at how considerate our Zhenxuan is now, he’s a totally different person now that he has a child."

Huo Tianpei’s face also softened a bit, perhaps this grandchild really could change Zhenxuan’s temperament?

At this moment, Huo Zhenxuan was supporting Mu Qingran as they walked in, smiling as he said, "Daddy, mommy, we’re back." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Jiayi’s cheeks were still somewhat pale, her eyes were devoid of any sparkle, and she seemed very reluctant. However, under Huo Zhenxuan’s gaze, she shuddered and could only force a smile, "Gr—Grandfather, Auntie."

Huo Tianpei, knowing that she was unwell after the DNA extraction from the fetus, was somewhat concerned about his grandson and frowned, "The child is alright, isn’t it?"

Mu Qingran was secretly pinched by Huo Zhenxuan and hurriedly put on a strained smile, saying according to Huo Zhenxuan’s wishes, "Grandfather, don’t worry, everything is fine. The doctor said it’s very stable, the due date is next month."

Upon hearing this, the wrinkles on Huo Tianpei’s face relaxed slightly, and his mood finally improved a bit, "Alright then, you two should marry as soon as possible, no more dragging it out."

Huo Zhenxuan beamed with joy, "Yes, Daddy."

A dimly lit and damp rented room.

A middle-aged drunkard, clutching a bottle of alcohol and limping, staggered up the stairs. As he fumbled for his keys to unlock the door, he cursed in a drunken slur:

"Damn it, such terrible luck, lost again! Must have been cheated by those bastards, damn..."

The plump landlord came down from upstairs, seeing the tenant return, he yelled:

"Mu Derun! You haven’t paid the rent for three months! If you don’t pay today, get the hell out! A damned gambler with money to bet but no money for rent—"

Seeing the landlord, Mu Derun sobered up halfway, belched and tried to appease with a smile, "Landlord, give me a few more days, I’ve been having a rough patch lately, but once I win big, I’ll pay up all the rent."

The landlord scoffed, "By the time you win, I’ll never see this lifetime’s rent! Anyway, if you don’t pay up today, you’ll have to leave immediately! Otherwise, I’ll call the police. Didn’t you just get out of jail? What, eager to go back in so soon?"

Mu Derun hurriedly said, "Landlord, please don’t be like that, just give me a few more days. Look, I’ve got a daughter, I can ask her, I’ll definitely get the money!"

The landlord sneered, "Your daughter doesn’t even care about you anymore, don’t deceive me if you say you can get the money!"

Mu Derun felt guilty. Ever since he had asked his daughter for money years ago, resulting in her breakup with her well-off boyfriend, she hadn’t paid him any mind for many years. Eventually, she went abroad, and he couldn’t even find her.

But in front of the landlord, he couldn’t show weakness, he snorted, "Not caring about me? I’m her biological father, I gave her life and raised her, why shouldn’t she give me money, that’s for maintenance! Don’t worry, landlord, just give me two more days, I will get the money!"

Even if this gambling drunkard was thrown in jail, the landlord wouldn’t get the rent. Frowning and muttering to himself, the landlord could only extend the deadline by two more days and left.

As soon as the landlord had left, Mu Derun breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was turning the key in the lock, ready to open the door, a voice came from behind, dripping with undisguised contempt, "It seems Mr. Mu has recently encountered some serious financial troubles."

In the corner of the rented room’s hallway, a heavy shadow obscured the figure of the person speaking, leaving only the voice of a young man recognizable.

"You... Who are you? How do you know me?" Mu Derun was startled.

The voice from the shadows continued, "How I know you is not important, what matters is, you’re acquainted with someone who is about to become Mrs. Huo the second. Your daughter, Mu Qingran, is lucky enough to be carrying the child of Huo Family’s second young master, and now she’s getting a shotgun wedding, soon to marry into the Huo Family as the second daughter-in-law. And here you are, unable to pay rent, hungry from one meal to the next, buried in debt—if one thinks about it, it’s quite pitiful, tsk."
