One and Only: Doting CEO's Infinite Love

Chapter 406: Inner Desolation, Not a Blade of Grass Grows

At this time, Lin Man walked out of the kitchen carrying the tea she had just made. Seeing Xu Lang treating Song Song with such attentive respect, she paused slightly but thought that it was understandable once she considered the reason...Xu Lang’s attitude towards Song Song was nothing more than his fear of Xiao Jinghuai standing behind Song Song.

Lin Man placed the tea on the table, "Song Song, have some tea."

"Thank you!" Song Song smiled gently, "You’re pregnant, so don’t move around too much. It’s exhausting, sit down for a while!"

Lin Man felt a sour bitterness in her heart. She was indeed tired; since becoming pregnant, she had always gone to the hospital for each check-up alone, witnessing other pregnant women accompanied and cared for by their husbands. She often wanted to burst into tears right then and there, but she somehow endured until now.

She kept fantasizing that once their child was born, Xu Lang might treat her a little better—even if it’s just a little better—and not order her around like a servant...

In this marriage, she no longer asked for anything else; this was her only wish.

So tiny it’s laughable.

Song Song saw Lin Man standing and still not willing to sit down and pulled her to the seat next to her, "You’re a pregnant woman! You really shouldn’t be too tired."

Lin Man forced a smile, not wanting her old colleagues to laugh at her plight, "I just poured some water. It’s not tiring, not tiring."

Xu Lang didn’t expect Song Song to come here suddenly. Remembering Xiao Jinghuai behind her, he shivered all over; that man was too terrifying to offend.

Naturally, his woman couldn’t be offended either, and she must be treated like a queen...

"...Song Song, since you’re visiting, why not stay and have dinner before you leave."

After saying this, Xu Lang winked towards Lin Man, who was sitting there. Lin Man quickly understood that he wanted her to get up and go to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Song Song naturally saw through this, and smiled warmly, "Mr. Xu, your wife is about to give birth. You have hands and feet; is it really that difficult to go to the kitchen and cook dinner?"

Xu Lang laughed awkwardly, "It’s not that I can’t do it. What I make could barely be eaten by a pig; how could I offer it to you!"

Song Song sneered. She could see clearly that Lin Man, after becoming pregnant, not only had to work but also come home to serve this grandfather-like man...

What kind of life is that for any woman to endure!

Song Song took out a pen and paper from her bag, quickly scribbled a line of numbers and stuffed it into Lin Man’s hand, "Here’s my new phone number. Call me if you need anything, for any reason. I’ll head off now; take good care of yourself and don’t tire yourself too much!"

"...Okay!"

Lin Man’s eyes grew red as she clutched the small piece of paper tightly. When everyone seemed to abandon her, when she thought this world had turned its back on her, Song Song’s appearance was like a savior...

"Song Song, thank you."

"Hey, aren’t we friends? This is what friends are supposed to do, no need to thank me!"

Song Song patted Lin Man’s shoulder, which was trembling from crying, "I’ll be off then."

"Hmm, I’ll walk you out..."

Xu Lang, standing by, also chimed in sycophantically, "Yes, Lin Man, go and see Miss Song off."

Song Song gave Xu Lang a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes, sending chills down Xu Lang’s spine...

As Song Song and Lin Man stood up, they heard the sound of keys at the door, and both were a little taken aback, looking towards the entrance.

Especially Lin Man, since everyone with keys was already home, who could be outside?

The door opened slowly, followed by a woman’s coquettish voice, "Auntie, Auntie, I’ve come to see you! Look at what I’ve brought for you?"

Lin Man heard this voice, and her heart felt barren, not a sprout of green. She turned to face the equally stunned Xu Lang, and spat through clenched teeth, "You... You gave our house key to her?"

"Xu Lang, you bastard!"

"..."

Song Song didn’t know who this was, but judging from Lin Man’s reaction, this woman must be...

At this moment, Su Mengni, dressed in designer clothing, entered the room, carrying a limited edition LV bag. She directed two people behind her as if she were the hostess, telling them to carry a large box into the house.
