Chapter 246

After sending the WeChat message, Xu Yina, who was leaning against the headboard, waited for Han An’s reply.

　　 She thought Han An would reply immediately, but she waited for two minutes without receiving a reply.

　　 Five minutes later, she received Han An’s reply.

　　 “That would be very inconvenient, so I still plan to live alone.”

　　 “But if you live alone, it can easily cost several thousand dollars, which is too wasteful.”

　　 “I don’t want to stay in the hotel.”

　　 “How about we check into a hotel first?”

　　 “Too expensive.”

　　 “I don’t think you and the boss’s wife will be separated for long, so there’s no need to rent a place to live. Either you can stay at the shop for a few days, or you can stay with me and Xiaoqin. If that doesn’t work, you can find a cheap hotel to stay in for a few days. Anyway, I don’t mind if you come and stay with us, it’s up to you.”

　　 “We’ll see.”

　　 “So, boss, are you going to sleep?”

　　 “I can’t sleep, but I have to.”

　　 Looking at Han An’s reply, Xu Yina wondered whether she should tell Han An that she had already made up her mind.

　　 Even if we don’t say it now, Han An will find out someday.

　　 Should I tell them or not?

　　 Looking at the chat window, Xu Yina became extremely hesitant.

　　 “Boss, I’m pregnant.”

　　 After typing this sentence, Xu Yina did not send it immediately.

　　 She was certain that the child in her womb was Han An’s, but she was afraid that Han An wouldn’t believe her.

　　 What if Han An asks if the child might be her ex-husband’s or Qiao Liang’s?

　　 Even if Han An doesn’t ask that question, he’ll still have those thoughts in his mind, right?

　　 Because her mind was in a bit of a mess, Xu Yina didn’t know whether she should send it or not.

　　 Goodnight, see you tomorrow.

　　 Upon seeing Han An’s reply, Xu Yina immediately deleted the words she had typed and sent a sleeping emoji.

　　 Since Han An did not reply, Xu Yina shrank into the quilt.

　　 Touching her still flat stomach, Xu Yina let out a long sigh.

　　 After disconnecting the internet and turning off the lights, Xu Yina closed her eyes.

　　 For Han An, it was impossible for him to live with Xu Yina and Bai Qin, nor did he want to stay in the hotel indefinitely. So the next morning, he booked a double room at the nearby 7 Days Inn for 250 yuan a day.

　　 Han An was unsure how long he would be separated from his wife.

　　 Han An didn’t actually want to separate, but because his wife had been hiding it, he really couldn’t live with her anymore.

　　 In addition, his son has his mother taking care of him, so he is not worried that his son will not have a good life.

　　 His wife sent him a WeChat message in the afternoon, begging him to come home, but he didn’t even reply to the message.

　　 Han An really didn’t want to compromise with his wife, so he wouldn’t go home unless she told him the truth.

　　 At 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Bai Jing walked into the planning department.

　　 Despite being separated from her husband, Bai Jing did not stop coming to work.

　　 Bai Jing’s dark circles were particularly severe because she had been sleeping very poorly for the past two days.

　　 Seeing that Bai Jing looked listless, Wu Qing asked, “Did you stay up all night?”

　　 “Yes,” Bai Jing said with a somewhat forced smile, “I stayed up late last night watching TV dramas.”

　　 What TV series is it?

　　 “Day and Night”.

　　 “I watched that too, or rather, almost all my friends have,” Wu Qing said with a grin. “But when I finished watching the ending, I felt a little uneasy because there was no real ending. Although I know it’s setting up for a second season, I still want to know who the mastermind is. Because of this ending, a lot of people on Douban are criticizing it. Actually, if you think about American TV series, there’s no need to criticize them at all. Take Game of Thrones, for example, it’s already in its seventh season, and every season ends with a cliffhanger that keeps you on the edge of your seat. By the way, Xiao Jing, have you watched Game of Thrones?”

　　 “without.”

　　 “You should watch it when you have time, it’s really good.”

　　 “Um.”

　　 At this moment, Li Wenhui, who was typing on the keyboard, said, “I don’t recommend you watch it.”

　　 “Why?”

　　 “You can ask Xiao Wu about that.”

　　 Because of Li Wenhui’s words, Bai Jing looked at Wu Qing again.

　　 After squinting, Wu Qing said, “There are many adult scenes.”

　　 You watch these kinds of American TV shows?

　　 “But those adult scenes serve the plot, so of course you can watch them,” Wu Qing said. “Compared to those American dramas where the plot disappears once the adult scenes are removed, Game of Thrones is still worth watching. And let me tell you, if you don’t like the adult scenes, you can watch the censored version on Tencent Video.”

　　 Before Bai Jing could say anything more, the planning department’s landline suddenly rang.

　　 After answering, Bai Jing said, “Hello.”

　　 “I am General Manager Zhao. Please come to my office.”

　　 “Mr. Zhao, you’re here at the company so early today?”

　　 “I mainly came to see you.”

　　 “Then I’ll come find you.”

　　 “Um.”

　　 After hanging up, Bai Jing put her bag away and went outside.

　　 As Bai Jing walked out of the planning department, Wu Qing, who was twirling a pen, said, “It seems she’s President Zhao’s new prey.”

　　 “Don’t worry about it,” Li Wenhui said, staring at the computer screen. “I think Xiaojing is a good person, so even if she becomes Mr. Zhao’s prey, she won’t be caught.”

　　 “When President Zhao was hunting down Luo Qiu, Brother Hui, you said the same thing, didn’t you?”

　　 “I don’t remember.”

　　 “Anyway, I remember.”

　　 Bai Jing knocked on the door in front of the general manager’s office.

　　 After receiving Zhao Tiancai’s permission, Bai Jing pushed open the door and entered.

　　 Looking at Bai Jing, who appeared even more mature in her business attire, Zhao Tiancai smiled and said, “Jing, I have some good news for you.”

　　 “What good news?”

　　 “Come out with me this afternoon.”

　　 Bai Jing knew that Zhao Tiancai had designs on her, so after hearing Zhao Tiancai’s words, Bai Jing said, “Mr. Zhao, can you tell me why?”

　　 “You’ll know when we get to our destination.”

　　 “I think you should tell me first, Mr. Zhao.”

　　 “That wouldn’t be a surprise.”

　　 “Then can you tell me where we’re going?”

　　 “I won’t tell you either.”

　　 Looking at Zhao Tiancai, Bai Jing wondered how to refuse him.

　　 After thinking for a moment, Bai Jing asked, “What time will you be leaving and what time will you be returning?”

　　 “We’ll set off around 3 p.m.,” Zhao Tiancai said after a pause. “It’ll probably be quite late by the time we’re done, so I’ll take you straight home.”
