Seemingly deep in thought, Jin Rongyan said, “Brother, shall we sleep in Daddy and Mommy’s room tonight, then? Their bed is huge compared to ours. If we sleep in their bed, do you think they’d reprimand us when they get home?”
“They won’t. Besides, they’re not going to find out if we both keep mum. Let’s take your suggestion and sleep in Daddy and Mommy’s room tonight.”
“Okay, yay.”
The two of them enjoyed the rest of their dinner merrily, after which they headed upstairs to freshen up.
Right before they invaded the bedroom, they discovered a tricky problem.
The biometric lock of the bedroom had now become a PIN-encrypted one.
However, they had no idea what the PIN number was.
They used to only enter when the door was left ajar or together with their parents. There was no way for them to enter now.
Jin Rongyan suggested, “Let’s ask Daddy, he’ll definitely tell me.”
Jin Yiheng waved and said, “That’s impossible.”
“We’d better return to our room, then.”
“I do have an idea, though,” said Jin Yiheng, who then whispered into his ear.
Jin Rongyan found his suggestion to be rather feasible.
Their plan was to wait for Fan Shixin to return, and then Jin Yiheng would tell him that he had left something in the master bedroom. Fan Shixin would then bring him inside the room while Jin Yiheng sneaks into the dressing room when Fan Shixin was not paying attention. They proceeded accordingly.
After Fan Shixin headed downstairs, Jin Rongyan opened the door for Jin Yiheng stealthily. Just as they were about to go inside, Long Xiaoxi arrived with her soft toys.
“Yiheng, Rongyan...”
“Xiaoxi, what brings you here? It’s time for bed.”
“Yeah, I’m here to sleep with you.”
“...”
Long Xiaoxi grabbed his arm and said, “I told Mommy that I’d be sleeping with you at night. However, Mommy said that I shouldn’t be sleeping on the same bed as you because I’m a girl. I insisted on coming here. Yiheng, I like being with you.”
Jin Yiheng immediately turned as red as a tomato. He expressed assent and said, “Come in, then.”
Beaming with joy, Long Xiaoxi entered the bedroom together with them.
As soon as they closed the door, the three of them leaped onto the bed merrily.
“It’s still so early, are you guys going to bed already?” Long Xiaoxi asked.
“What should we do otherwise? Shall we play house?” Jin Rongyan suggested.
“Sure, sure. I’m going to be the Mommy.”
Jin Rongyan said, “I shall be Daddy, then.”
“No, you’ll be our son. Let Yiheng be the Daddy.”
“...”
—
“It didn’t get through?” Lin Mingxi asked.
Gu Beicheng put his phone down and answered, “The call couldn’t go through.”
Lin Mingxi grabbed an apple from the fruit basket and began munching on it. “Try calling them later, then. Don’t you have some socializing and entertaining to do? Go ahead.”
“I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay.”
Lin Mingxi sat cross-legged on the couch and watched a movie while eating her apple.
After finishing the two-hour-long movie, she took a look at the time to see that it was ten minutes past eight. She then returned to her bedroom to have a rose-petal bath.
As soon as she finished drying her hair, Lin Mingxi received a call on her mobile phone. She took a look at the caller display to see that it was from a colleague from the fitness center, whom she had not contacted in a long time.
“Hello, Xiao Dong.”
“Ms. Lin, I saw your husband in a nightclub along Ming Yuan Road.”
“He’s there to entertain some clients tonight. What’s wrong?”
“I saw a woman who looks a lot like An Xiaoning beside him just now. I initially thought it was An Xiaoning but I realized it was someone else after taking a closer look. She was dressed really coquettishly. Would you like to go do a spot check?”
“I’m not worried about my husband, but men can sometimes fall prey to brazen hussies,” said Lin Mingxi, who quickly grabbed her maternity wear.
“I thought so too. I haven’t seen you in a long time anyway. Just come here.”
“Alright, wait for me at the entrance in fifteen minutes. I’ll be on my way.” She ended the call and got dressed within two minutes.
After placing her mobile phone inside her bag, she grabbed her car keys and made her way downstairs.
Lin Mingxi was wearing a pair of white flats. Despite being heavily pregnant, she could still move about quickly with ease. She then handed the car keys to the servants and instructed them to take her to Ming Yuan Road.
They arrived less than twenty minutes later. Lin Mingxi alighted from the car and instructed the bodyguards to wait inside before walking toward the entrance.
Xiao Dong was already waiting for her by the door. At the sight of her, Xiao Dong said while smiling, “Hey, Sis Lin, you’re still so slender even though you’re pregnant.”
“No way. I’ve gained several pounds. Have you gotten married yet?”
“No, I haven’t found a suitable partner. Sis Lin, you look really radiant.”
“Speak for yourself. Where did you see my husband?” she asked, smiling.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you there.”
“Alright.”
Lin Mingxi followed Xiao Dong into the nightclub and walked through the dancing crowd. The bright and colorful spotlights made her eyes feel a little uncomfortable.
Pointing at a figure not too far away, Xiao Dong said, “Look over there. That’s the woman I was talking about.”
Lin Mingxi squinted and said to Xiao Dong, “I know who that woman is. She had gone under the knife to look like Xiaoning. How strange.”
“No wonder they look so similar. I almost mistook her for An Xiaoning. Actually, I was afraid that I was being nosy, in case she was really your friend,” Xiao Dong said with a chuckle.
Lin Mingxi smiled and said, “I know my husband’s preference in women. He’ll never take interest in these promiscuous women. That man beside him is his client and partner. They must have come to unwind a little after discussing about business in the private room. Thank you, Xiao Dong. If there’s anything you need my help with, feel free to give me a call.”
By saying that, she had managed to give everyone an out and stopped Xiao Dong from spreading any false rumors. After all, gossip is a fearful thing.
She would not allow there to be any rumors that would be disadvantageous to her husband.
“Alright, alright, I have to get going too. Bye, Sis Lin.”
“Alright, be safe.”
“Okay.” Xiao Dong soon vanished among the crowd. Just as Lin Mingxi was about to approach them, she caught sight of the client leaving. Gu Beicheng stood up and walked away while Bu Xianxian followed closely behind him.
Lin Mingxi decided to walk toward them.
She stood by the stairwell and overheard Gu Beicheng talking to Bu Xianxian sternly, “I’ll be leaving after taking my things. Why are you here?”
“Don’t be so hostile, Mr. Gu. I have something to discuss with you in private. However, it’s too noisy downstairs. Mr. Gu, can I have five minutes of your time? It’s really something important.”
Gu Beicheng glanced at her and said, “I’ll only be giving you five minutes.”
Bu Xianxian nodded profusely. “Okay, okay.”
Lin Mingxi had always trusted her reliable female instincts. Although An Xiaoning had rarely gone into detail about Bu Xianxian, Lin Mingxi had still learned quite a bit about the latter after piecing the bits of information together. Hence, she had never had a good impression of Bu Xianxian. Neither did she expect that Gu Beicheng would be acquainted with her.
