The King’s Enchanting

Chapter 1680 - 1693: Relationship Upheaval (7)

He didn’t say it, but Shen Lanxiao knew—he spent all his money to buy shares of Huanyu Group, and even owed some, which is why he worked so hard.

At that time, although Yin Maohui helped him sell some property and shares of Starlight Entertainment, the money from the property only covered the down payment. The rest was slowly paid back. There was still a shortfall, so he borrowed a sum and had to wait for it to be repaid before he could pay off his debt. By the time those one or two years passed, it had become routine, and he wanted to earn more money before marriage, using his own earnings to buy a house for them as a marital home.

Yu Zexiao nodded: "I thought I’d take a break and find a place to relax abroad once things calm down."

Shen Lanxiao also smiled: "Better go before you have kids, because you won’t be able to later."

As the two chatted back and forth, Jian Anning listened with a cold heart. Her impression was that even if Yu Zexiao had someone else’s child, the Yu Family and Yu Zexiao might not give her up—after all, she wasn’t jobless or without property. She wasn’t desperate to marry into a wealthy family, left helpless if the engagement fell apart, and destined to cry alone in secret.

But even so, should she endure Yu Zexiao having a child with another woman?!

No, that’s not right, she must stay calm! She needed to be composed! Until things were clear, she couldn’t judge him. It wouldn’t be fair to him, nor to their years of relationship!

At this thought, her tightly clenched fists slightly loosened: "I, I think I am indeed a bit tired."

"Then make sure to get some rest."

Jian Anning didn’t know how she got through it. By the time she regained her senses, she was already upstairs, feeling utterly exhausted, unable to face such matters!

No, she couldn’t be so dispirited! The whole situation wasn’t clear yet—is the child Chen Qinruo’s, or Yu Zexiao’s? There’s no definite signal, so how could she dwell in self-pity?

With this in mind, Jian Anning regrouped and continued to observe secretly.

A few days later, there was another event, and once again, it was an event attended by both Chen Qinruo and Yu Zexiao. This time, Jian Anning was more attentive, watching them closely.

In public, Yu Zexiao and Chen Qinruo indeed didn’t have any communication. Any occasional words exchanged seemed normal.

The stage was still being set up, with Yu Zexiao in front and Chen Qinruo behind as they rehearsed. While walking, perhaps Chen Qinruo’s high heels were too high, and she suddenly twisted her ankle and almost fell!

Yu Zexiao in front didn’t pay attention; it was her agent behind her who helped her. Seeing her twist her ankle, they quickly took her aside to rub it out. Jian Anning drifted over, her voice a bit cold: "You’re still wearing high heels? Aren’t you afraid of falling?"

If pregnant, who would dare wear high heels? Especially in the first three months, it’s easy to lose the baby if not careful.

"Huh?" Chen Qinruo looked up at her with a puzzled face, thinking she was concerned, so she smiled: "It’s fine, Sister Jian, I just didn’t see the road clearly."

"Then be careful; if you can’t see clearly and fall, it would be terrible."

Jian Anning’s words had hidden meanings, but although Chen Qinruo felt something off, she didn’t think much of it.
