Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

Jian Yiling was far from being done.

She exhaled loudly and slapped her palm against the wooden desk before her.

Then, she said, "And you... You're planning to never tell your husband about your pregnancy and want to keep it from him. But how long can you keep it from him? A year? Two? Five years? Or until your child started to wonder where their father is? Who is their father?"

Jian Yiling couldn't understand Ran Xueyi's train of thoughts. Their lives weren't the same as the story portrayed in films or books. They cannot selfishly do something without thinking about the consequences and responsibilities they should own up from the very start.

Jian Yiling was listing out all the reality she must face on top of the problems she's facing now. It wasn't only about her or her husband, there was a child growing inside of her now and they both needed to consider the child's future and thoughts and feelings as well.

Ran Xueyi should also know this.

Marriage and creating a family was never easy. It was another page to turn in your life story. Another world to be explored and discovered.

After ranting for a long time, Jian Yiling finally stopped scolding her best friend.

Jian Yiling then said, "However, if you already decided to take that path... I will always be here to help you. I will take you away and let you hide for as long as you want."

"Just call this number if you made up your mind."

There was no reply from Ran Xueyi and Jian Yiling thought she might be crying silently and thinking about her words seriously.

Jian Yiling disconnected the call and sighed.

On Ran Xueyi's side, like Jian Yiling thought, she was really crying without letting a sound escape from her lips.

Like a child crying silently, afraid of waking up her parents and not letting anyone find out that she was crying, Ran Xueyi bit her lips until she could only feel pain.

It was really difficult.

The life she chose was filled with thorns and turns. Each way she goes, there will always be a tall wall she has to cross.

Her own family turned their backs on her after using her. In retaliation, Ran Xueyi tried to get her revenge by doing IVF and then she met Song Yu Han.

She tried to go back to the entertainment circle, but the road to stardom was even more unattainable now that she lost her previous peak and there were too many people trying to hold her down. Moreover, there was bound to be new stars rising, will an old and dying star like her be able to get that dazzling light again?

Then, there's the man she was deeply in love with.

She and Song Yu Han only met by accident and their feelings weren't instantaneous but it was deep, deeper than any relationship the two of them had towards anyone.

All this time, Song Yu Han helped her a lot on her road to stardom. He gave her resources when she failed to get one. When she stumbled upon a troublesome thing, she used her brain to stomp on these people but with his help, these people paid the price of their cruel actions.

Even now and in the future, she might continue getting his help. It was okay since they are now married. However, it was precisely that that many people will be able to use this chance to get to Song Yu Han by using her as his weakness.

Just as Jian Yiling said, they could bite and claw at each other as they wanted, but those claws and fangs could still reach her and her baby.

It was alright if there was only her. She could still somewhat protect herself.

But what about her child?

One mistake and the child would...

Ran Xueyi shook her head, tears followed her movement and dropped on the sides of her face. She didn't dare think of the worst outcome.

This was the reason why Ran Xueyi was so troubled as soon as she found out that someone was trying to find out about the details of her medical results.

Maybe she was being paranoid and thinking too much. Maybe there was still morality inside everyone's heart. They wouldn't probably do anything to her and her baby.

But...

Ran Xueyi shuddered when she thought of the consequences if she continued with that kind naive thinking.

The world they're living in was different. Even her family could swallow her and watch her suffer. Would others really care about her or her child?

Even Grandfather Song warned her about the danger she might face.

While she was crying and thinking, the phone that slipped from her hands and fell on the carpeted floor when she started crying lit up once again.

Ran Xueyi didn't notice it at first, but when she moved her head, she finally saw the Caller ID ⁠— YH.

Ran Xueyi quickly reigned in her emotions and made her voice sound clearer. Her fingers were trembling when pressed on the answer button after a second of hesitation.

The low and familiar voice of Song Yu Han sounded from the phone.

"Mrs. Song, why didn't you reply to my messages and ignore my calls?"

Ran Xueyi forced back down the tears that started to form in her eyes.

She answered without having her voice tremble, "You called?"

"En."

She continued feigning ignorance and said, "I didn't see it... Oh, you're right. I was asleep because I was tired. My filming date will start soon so I decided to catch some more sleep and rest. When are you coming back?"

Song Yu Han didn't hear any abnormalities in her voice, but he felt that there was something wrong. However, he didn't think deeply about it.

After a pause, Song Yu Han answered, "There are some troubling matters here. I don't think I can return as planned. However, it shouldn't be longer than a month."

The truth was that he met a dangerous matter and couldn't return to the country quickly. One of the people who wanted to destroy him wanted to keep him in that foreign country and so, Song Yu Han could only stay there and finish things up before going back home.

Ran Xueyi tightened her fingers around her phone as she said, "It's alright. You can take your time there. Just buy me some presents before going back home."

Song Yu Han's eyes softened as he listened to her, "Alright... I miss you."

Ran Xueyi: "...I miss you and I love you."

After hanging up, Ran Xueyi continued crying without a sound and cried until she fell asleep.

On Song Yu Han's side, the hand that was holding the phone was stained with blood and there was an excruciatingly painful sensation on his stomach.

A bullet embedded itself inside his abdomen when he and his men were suddenly ambushed earlier.

The blood on his stomach still hasn't dried and continued to flow but Song Yu Han's expression on his face didn't show any pain at all.

Special Assistant Guo, who had been standing in the corner and listening to the two, finally spoke: "Boss, our men already took care of the people who ambushed us. However, we still haven't found out who was behind them."

Song Yu Han glanced coldly at him and replied, "Then, are you waiting to <anno data-annotation-id="5f3de691-8518-9191-f9fc-772c40ceba8d">whip the corpse</anno> before you start looking for the people who paid the people who ambushed me?"

Special Assistant Guo: "...No, Boss."
