Chapter 156 I Respect His Choice and Believe in a Peaceful Break-Up

Xiao Qingqing watched Lu Jinye as he turned his engine over, and zoomed past her.

He had no intention to stay for a second longer.

If Lu Jinye had felt a tinge of reluctance, he would turn back to look at her. But he did not spare a

glance at her. Thus, he did not see Xiao Qingqing stumbling onto the ground chasing after him.

Xiao Qingqing slumped on the ground for a long while before standing up. Lamenting tears flowed

down her cheeks uncontrollably. She even started to hate herself. Why is the baby still alive? Why

didn’t I miscarry?

If she had miscarried from the fall, she could get the maid to inform Lu Jinye, and he would return for

her in remorse. Subsequently, she would have another chance at salvaging the relationship.

The idea came to Xiao Qingqing when she was in despair.

However, when she stood up, she did not find any blood streaming down in between her legs like what

the melodramas depicted. She felt no pain in her belly. Everything felt normal.

All she could do was return to her room, and grabbed a jacket, then left the villa in desolation. She rang

Shen Mobo and made her way to his place.

Xiao Qingqing did not know what else she could do.

But Shen Mobo felt a pang of heartache when he saw Xiao Qingqing’s dejection. When he tried to

convince her to let go of Lu Jinye, she showed her unwavering determination.

She refused to give up Lu Jinye. This was no longer about love. This was war. She must not surrender.

Wearing the pajamas Shen Mobo prepared for her, she sat on his bed and kept her head lowered,

weeping throughout the night. She asked Shen Mobo to brainstorm ways for her to put her back into

the battlefield, to have another shot at Lu Jinye’s heart.

Shen Mobo stood next to her, gazing at her with resentful eyes. He slowly approached her, gathering

her into his embrace, “Why would you be such a fool? Lu Jinye doesn’t treasure you, but there are

plenty of other men who would in this world.”

Shen Mobo reminded Xiao Qingqing.

But, she lifted her swollen, bloodshot eyes, and said to him bitterly, “Mobo, would you let go of me?”

Her question left Shen Mobo speechless.

Xiao Qingqing then buried herself into his embrace dejectedly. She wrapped her arms around him to

hug him firmly, then said in a sheepish tone, “You wouldn’t. I’m sure of that.”

“Then you should be clear of the pain I am currently feeling!”

Shen Mobo bent his head, tilted her chin up towards him to meet his gaze.

He saw the determined eyes on her pretty face, and ended up pushing her away in a fit of pique,

commanding her, “Come to me!”

Xiao Qingqing did not answer him.

She lowered her head in silence.

Both of them were stuck in a stalemate for a long moment before Shen Mobo relented, looking at Xiao

Qingqing’s petite figure. He stepped forward to gather her towards his chest while she took the initiation

to bring her lips towards him.

Amid exchanging rapid breaths, the warmth he exuded through his lips met her cold lips. It prompted

his compassion towards her. He was desperate to warm her lips, firmly embracing her.

When Xiao Qingqing sensed his warmth, she curled up, and rubbed herself onto him, as though trying

to become one with him.

She profusely fidgeted in his embrace.

Provoking his desires.

Until Shen Mobo carried Xiao Qingqing onto his bed, she looked at him with affection, begging him,

“Help me, give it to me.”

At that point, he could no longer tell if there was an overtone or simply humanly yearning.

Shen Mobo could only fondle on what felt like a soft, boneless figure, slowly penetrating her, hugging

her, and responded gently and carefully, “Ok.”

He felt dashes of discontentment and exasperation.

He vented his frustration at her, one time after another.

When Xiao Qingqing was exhausted and fell asleep, Shen Mobo stood up to use the bathroom. He put

a jacket over him and sat in the lounge for that night. He spent the whole night smoking cigarettes. In

the morning, he sent an anonymous message to Lu Leiming.

The Shen Group offered to inject 200 million into Lu Leiming’s company, Leiting, to boost its finance

capability to go up against Shanze.

At the same time, he requested Lu Leiming to propose a series of marking plan to get Leiting listed,

and subsequently corner Shanze.

Xiao Qingqing woke up two hours after Shen Mobo had arranged all these.

When she did, the TV was broadcasting the latest finance news, and Lu Leiming’s figure came on

screen. In the past, Leiting was regarded as a low profile, yet high performing company. Its boss

tended to shy away from the public but his approach to business was ruthless.

There were plenty of speculations and rumors regarding Leiting on the market. The most common

speculation was that Leiting belonged to the son or mistress of a tycoon. If it weren’t for the support of

a powerhouse in the industry, Leiming would not be expanding rapidly at this rate. Numerous finance

journalists tried to investigate the boss of Leiting but to no avail. However! Today was the day he chose

to come forth, causing an outrage in the finance world

During breakfast, it did not occur to Xiao Qingqing that the ordeal was related to her.

When she was done and preparing to leave, Shen Mobo suddenly stopped her and said, “Make sure

you are decked up today, get your agent to organize a press conference, and announce the news of

your break up with Lu Jinye, as well as your pregnancy.”

Xiao Qingqing did not understand the intentions behind these.

But Shen Mobo insisted her to do as he said.

Thus, she complied with his instructions and wore light makeup followed by holding a press

conference. She announced the news of her pregnancy on her social media through a subtle post,

‘Child, I’m sorry that I cannot afford to give you a complete home, but I respect his choice and believe

in a peaceful breakup. I trust that not long after when you have come to the world, you will understand

my decision. In return, I will try my best to be a courageous mother.’

The few lines of words made Lu Jinye look like a complete scumbag.

Meanwhile.

The Lu Family held an emergency meeting.

Master Lu only called Lu Jinye, Lu Leiming, and Lu Yunxi to attend the meeting.

However, when he was informed by Master Lu’s butler, Lu Leiming simply muttered at him,

“I’ve got no time.”

He blatantly refused to attend the so-called family meeting.

Master Lu made a call to Lu Leiming personally, but the phone conversation did not end peacefully!
