Lin Banxia’s days at the Huo Family were very comfortable. Every morning, noon, and evening al was personally delivered by the servants from the matriarch’s quarters.
Now that she was pregnant, the matriarch would occasionally invite her for a ga of chess but would also excuse her from sitting too long, so Lin Banxia had plenty of freedom.
The only restriction was that the matriarch forbade her from driving herself.
Actually, Lin Banxia didn’t truly think of herself as soone so delicate, but when she learned that she had driven herself to the pear garden and returned, the matriarch imdiately got angry.
Indeed, she grabbed her hand and scolded her fiercely until Lin Banxia promised not to drive herself out again. Only then did the matriarch let it go, and she promptly arranged for a full-ti driver to handle her transportation.
In the evenings, Huo Yanting didn’t have any social engagents; he would co ho on ti, eat dinner with her, take a walk, and at night, he’d hold her as they slept together.
Of course, he was extrely careful. His large hands never touched her small belly, only touched...
Sotis, when Lin Banxia woke up at night and felt the warmth of his palm, her face would flush bright red.
In the blink of an eye, four days had passed, and now there were only two days left until her engagent.
Everything—from the engagent hotel to the dress she would wear—was arranged by Huo Yanting. The matriarch continuously sent her gifts, and she was practically drowning in them.
The matriarch didn’t just send gifts, but also envelopes stuffed with cash; the amounts were huge, and Lin Banxia couldn’t help but feel a bit unsettled as she accepted them.
Thinking back on the tis she had cursed the matriarch from head to toe, she now realized the matriarch wasn’t as bad as she’d thought.
That noon, Lin Banxia had just finished lunch but ended up vomiting again. Completely drained, she lay on the sofa, deciding to watch a movie to lift her spirits.
Suddenly, her phone chid with a ssage.
Lin Banxia picked it up to take a look and saw that soone had sent her a photo. To her shock, the photo was of her and Huo Qinglin from a long ti ago. In the picture, she was actively kissing Huo Qinglin on the cheek.
Her whole body instantly felt cold.
Lin Banxia had nearly forgotten the foolish mistake she’d made all those years ago.
And now, soone had sent her this photo. What were they trying to achieve?
Lin Banxia narrowed her eyes. Clearly, the individual had an agenda; otherwise, they wouldn’t have chosen to send her such a distressing photo so close to her engagent.
Lin Banxia dialed the number, and to her surprise, the person answered the call.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Lin Banxia’s voice sounded angry.
"It’s , cousin!" Lu Huan Ning’s voice ca through.
"Lu Huan Ning? What do you an by this?" Lin Banxia’s tone grew even colder upon hearing her voice.
Lu Huan Ning sneered as well, "I don’t an anything. This is just a little greeting gift. If you think this one’s bad enough, I’ve got more intimate photos of you and Huo Qinglin. Tell , if these photos were leaked online, don’t you think the elders of the Huo Family would find it quite troubling?"
"You’re truly despicable. What do you want? Just tell what it’ll take to get you to delete those photos!" Lin Banxia obviously didn’t want sothing like this to blow up at such a critical mont.
"Co et , and we’ll talk it over. I’ll send you the address!" Lu Huan Ning said and then promptly hung up the call.
Soon after, a eting location was sent to her via text ssage.
Lin Banxia’s gaze held a trace of bitterness. Lu Huan Ning had gotten bolder; she dared to threaten her openly now.
Lin Banxia changed into a different outfit and decided to head out. With a dedicated driver at her disposal, she no longer needed to drive herself.
