Like most people in this mansion, he treated me like a plague.
"Do you despise me? I only wanted to help you out a little. Do you think I would stab you with a needle?"
He shook his head. "Miss, your status is too noble for such things."
"Once, someone used that excuse to brush me off, and what happened? He nearly got exiled to the company's small branch in Africa as a janitor. Those who get involved with me often end up with bad results. If you're smart, don't treat this job as your entire life."
He said nothing, placing a cup of warm water on my bedside, slightly bowing in acknowledgment before vanishing like a ghost outside on the balcony. I could no longer see him.
In the deep of night, Song Moting suddenly visited. The moment he pushed open the door, I felt a moment of disorientation. It had been a long time since we last met, and he was furious, clearly not here for friendly reasons.
"Jiang Jinqing, I've had someone check; you haven't finished your birth control pills! How dare you scheme against me?"
I had anticipated this confrontation and wore a cynical smile as I looked at him.
"What can we do now, President Song? It's already a done deal."
A flash of crimson crossed his eyes as he seized my throat and slammed me hard against the wall.
"You know I have no feelings for you; why not just kill me? One corpse, two lives—clean and simple."
The hand gripping my neck tightened gradually, and for a moment, I was certain he truly wanted my life. Just as I was about to lose consciousness, he finally released his grip. Before I could catch my breath, I suddenly felt a chill on my shoulder; Song Moting had pounced on me like a beast.
Song Moting was always rough in bed, especially today as he sought revenge. The moment I cried out in pain, an image of Long Qi flashed through my mind.
Was he outside on the balcony?
Could he hear everything?
What kind of complicated look would he give me tomorrow?
I didn't know how long it had been, but this long night finally returned to calm. Song Moting lay beside me, eyes closed in rest, lost in whatever thoughts occupied his mind.
A faint knocking sound came from outside the door. His assistant, Lu Yun, cautiously said, "Mr. Song? Are you resting?"
"It's so late; what's the matter?"
"I'm sorry to disturb you, but it's about Madam... she has found out she's pregnant."
"That's great! There will be a generous reward!"
Song Moting suddenly woke up, and I noticed the tension in him dissipate, replaced by overwhelming joy.
He quickly got up, putting on his shirt while asking, "Why report this in the middle of the night?"
"Mr. Song, Madam had a strange dream about a golden dragon descending from the sky. She was unsettled and called for a private doctor. Congratulations, Mr. Song!"
Song Moting hurriedly left the suite, and I lay quietly on the bed, my hand gently caressing my abdomen. There was a new life growing inside me, and I felt its connection to my bloodline, as if it were another part of my soul.
I had grown up alone in a wealthy family, orphaned and without support. My calculations regarding Song Moting were driven by the desire for companionship through a child.
When the news of Chen Yan's pregnancy spread, there was jubilation throughout the company. Her family was prominent; the head of Chen Group had only just received this precious jewel in his later years. The company held five consecutive celebration banquets.
She had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth and was married off to Song Moting with the entire Song family fortune as her dowry. Some people are simply born into endless adoration.
No, I too have someone who loves me—I have Long Qi.
"Long Qi, are you there?"
"Yes."
