Chapter 616: Chapter 614: Can I Please Take a Leave of Absence?

“I, I didn’t an that…”

Hao Jiayi’s voice, thick with the tone of tears, driftled out as she hung her head low.

Yet, there was not a single trace of tear stains on her face.

She knew she couldn’t rely on Xiao Mo!

Sure enough, in the end, she had to depend on herself.

Hao Jiayi had thought before that if Feng Ya izi truly released the news of Xiao Mo’s wife’s passing, she would take the opportunity to get Xiao Mo to register for marriage with her.

If Xiao Mo agreed, then she would sowhat consider his life and death.

After all, there was quite a difference between him alive earning money for her and him dead leaving behind a fortune.

But his words just now had completely shattered her trust in him.

Xiao Mo had never thought of marrying her, so there was no need for her to insist on keeping him alive.

Next, she just had to find a way to get pregnant with Xiao Mo’s child, then it would be enough to kill Xiao Mo and Xiao Jinglan.

Before, Feng Ya izi had always urged her to get rid of Xiao Jinglan first, but her thoughts were different.

If Xiao Jinglan was gone and Xiao Mo was gone too, and she suddenly turned out to be pregnant, the police’s attention would definitely focus on her.

At that ti, if she gave herself away, it would be troubleso.

If Xiao Mo was gone but Xiao Jinglan was still alive, even to protect her son’s last bloodline, she wouldn’t do anything to her.

Maybe she would even constantly protect her and might even hand over Xiao Mo’s property to her.

When she had been living with the Xiao Family, she had noticed that Xiao Jinglan’s health seed very poor, as though she could pass away at any mont.

So, Hao Jiayi was not in a hurry to deal with her.

“Alright, what’s there to cry about?” Xiao Mo raised a hand and patted Hao Jiayi on the back. “Haven’t I told you? My public image is very important. If my wife just died and I marry imdiately, what do you think people outside would think of ?”

Hao Jiayi wasn’t angry. She raised her hand and pretended to wipe the corner of her eye with her sleeve, then buried her head in Xiao Mo’s shoulder. “I know I was wrong. I won’t say it anymore, okay?”

Xiao Mo curled his lip. Although he still had so dissatisfaction toward Hao Jiayi, seeing that she knew how to act appropriately for the ti being, he didn’t scold her further.

After all, she was able to satisfy him both in everyday monts and in his particular tastes.

He was being made weary by Feng Jiyue every day, where would he have the ti to find a woman so willing to accommodate him?

So for the ti being, he couldn’t break off with Hao Jiayi. This was also why, even though he was displeased, he would occasionally coax her.

Luckily, this woman had so self-awareness and didn’t continue to make a fuss.

Otherwise, he might have really needed to abandon her directly.

“Amo, can I ask for a leave later?” She raised her hand to gently press on her temple, looking pitifully at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo, having just reprimanded Hao Jiayi and seeing her act appropriately, asked with feigned concern, “What do you want ti off for?”

Hao Jiayi let out a soft sigh. “I think I caught a draft while sleeping last night, I feel like I’m catching a cold, and my head hurts terribly, so I want to take a leave and rest for a while.”

“…”

Xiao Mo did not respond to Hao Jiayi but kept his eyes firmly on her, as if pondering what her real purpose was for saying this.

Hao Jiayi, of course, did not give him any gap to think, she quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and nuzzled against it, saying, “Amo, my body hasn’t been in good condition ever since I was discharged from the hospital last ti, and I’m worried that I won’t be able to please you properly, so I want to have a good rest…”

She linked her situation to Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo couldn’t directly ignore it anymore.

After all, people prioritize their interests, especially a man as inherently selfish as Xiao Mo.

Whether her body had issues didn’t really matter.

What mattered was whether it would affect him.

Xiao Mo narrowed his eyes and reached out to pinch Hao Jiayi’s chin, “Then you better go back, no need to fake an excuse, just handle it as an external assignnt.”

Upon hearing this, Hao Jiayi imdiately looked up and pecked Xiao Mo on the cheek, “Amo, I knew you were the best to !”

She acted as if she had received so grand favor, winning even more of Xiao Mo’s affection.

With Xiao Mo’s words, Hao Jiayi swaggered out of the company and headed straight back to the Xiao Family ho.

Xiao Mo had suspected that Hao Jiayi might collude with Feng Jiyue to fake being on leave, actually eting with people from the Feng family’s side.

But to his surprise, the Hao Jiayi he had people watching went straight back to the Xiao Family ho.

The suspicions he initially had about her also dissipated quite a bit.

anwhile, the completely oblivious Hao Jiayi’s first action upon returning to the Xiao Family ho was to head to the private room she shared with Xiao Mo.

Inside were the things Xiao Mo usually used to tornt her, and one item that was preventing her rise—the little birth control umbrella.

Xiao Mo always practiced birth control when he was tornting her, making it very difficult for her to get pregnant with his child.

But now, she was planning to poke holes in all these items, and once she secretly got pregnant with Xiao Mo’s child, she would silently get rid of this man.

By then, only Xiao Jinglan would be left—she’d have no choice but to leave all the assets to the child in her belly.

Xiao Jinglan wasn’t long for this world; soon enough, all these things would be hers.

The more Hao Jiayi thought about it, the happier she beca, her hand holding the needle trembling with anticipation as if she already saw the glittering inheritance beckoning her.

All she had to do was hold on a little longer, and she would beco a person of high status!

Hao Jiayi had previously clung to n, thinking that as long as she had them wrapped around her finger, she could escape the sea of suffering.

However, she soon realized that none of the n enchanted by her beauty was reliable.

The more she strived to climb the social ladder, the more difficult it beca.

Luckily, now she had co across an opportunity that could take her to the next level—how could she possibly give up?

“What are you doing?”

Suddenly, Xiao Jinglan’s voice ca from the bedroom door, startling Hao Jiayi so much that she almost dropped the needle into the drawer.

She quickly turned around, pretending to casually close the drawer behind her, then slowly walked out of the private room and shut the door behind her.

“Aunt Xiao, did you call ?”

She smiled faintly, looking especially docile.

Xiao Jinglan snorted lightly, “What are you sneaking around for in the room?”

She had intended to go shopping, but because her body couldn’t take it, she had co back early, only to see Hao Jiayi acting stealthy in the room upon her entry.

At this ti, she should have been at work, not at ho, so Xiao Jinglan imdiately beca suspicious of Hao Jiayi.

After all, this woman was from the Feng family’s side—Xiao Jinglan was never willing to trust her.

Hao Jiayi pursed her lips innocently, “Aunt Xiao, you’re overthinking it. I wasn’t sneaking around; I was just in mine and Amo’s bedroom. I—I wanted to surprise Amo…”

“Surprise?” Xiao Jinglan raised an eyebrow, her gaze holding a touch of disdain.
