Chapter 108: Chapter 108: No Greater Sorrow than a Dead Heart
“Everyone’s got it wrong, I’m the nanny of this child.”
Yin Hehe, after hearing the remarks of these people, could only stop to explain again to them.
Just at this mont, another guest arrived outside the small drawing room and overheard the conversation. Before she even entered, she joined in from outside.
“Yes, please don’t get it wrong, everyone, I am Mr. Sheng’s fiancée. This child has nothing to do with my fiancé.”
It was as though a bombshell had been dropped.
No one could have anticipated that this newly-arrived guest would suddenly spout such words to everyone.
The guests in the small drawing room imdiately exploded into chatter.
And Yin Hehe also looked up sharply at this person, her expression shocked to the extre.
Lin Shuang?
She actually ca too?
“I’m sorry, I’ve just got off the plane and didn’t have ti to prepare gifts. These small tokens are for eting everyone.”
Lin Shuang walked in smiling, and upon seeing everyone in the small drawing room looking at her with half-belief, she continued to make polite conversation while generously taking out so gifts from her bag.
“My goodness, are these just small tokens? These are the rarest Black Pearls!”
“Yes, I have so, but I’ve never managed to buy them in strands. This kind of pearl is too hard to co by.”
“Truly worthy of being the lady of the Asian Empire~~~”
“…”
In just a few seconds, this woman had ‘bought’ the favor of royalties and nobles with these “small gifts”.
Yin Hehe stood by, holding the child, without speaking.
She stood there watching this woman effortlessly charm the guests, and then, with a flirtatious swaying of her hips, she went over to the man.
“Ayuan, I’m here. Aren’t you going to introduce
to the distinguished guests here?”
“…”
In an instant, the man who was having a conversation with a prince and sipping his wine, his pupils flashed with an extrely terrifying ferocity.
Lin Shuang shivered.
But she did not back down; instead, she bit her lip secretly and continued to move forward with a dignified and gentle smile on her face.
“Ayuan, I heard that Cen Bao is having his last surgery tomorrow, so I ca to see him. You’re not mad at , are you?”
She asked cautiously in front of everyone.
As a result, before the man could reply,
it was the prince and the ducal couple who showed their appreciation for this woman with their admiring gazes.
“Mr. Sheng, you are so lucky to have such a virtuous fiancée who cos all this way to take care of the child.”
“That’s right, Mr. Sheng, I originally thought you were unmarried since you brought the child on your own tonight and had considered introducing my daughter to you. It seems there’s no need now, hahaha~~”
They actually started to envy him.
The woman, of course, was delighted on hearing this.
Seeing that the man wasn’t responding, she grew bold and stepped forward to wrap her arms around his.
“You’re joking. It’s my duty to do all these things. Perhaps you aren’t aware, but we have another child. If it were for his care, I would have co sooner. So, as for business, please rest assured, Your Highness, and Your Lordship, there will be no private matters to distract him.”
She really had a way with words.
Yin Hehe listened silently while holding the child on the side, and for a mont, she herself was almost convinced.
What a virtuous woman this was.
And indeed, the man being held by the arm didn’t pull away. Keeping that posture until the prince across and the duke burst into very satisfied laughter.
“Very well, then it’s a big favor from Mrs. Sheng. To be honest, seeing Mr. Sheng co with a child today, I was genuinely worried he wouldn’t have the ti to sign this contract with us.”
“Not at all,” the woman imdiately replied with a smile.
“Don’t worry, Your Highness, the child has nothing to do with my fiancé. He was brought here for our nanny to take care of my son. Now that I’m here, this kind of situation will not happen again.”
“Good!”
“…”
What did those people say afterwards?
Yin Hehe didn’t hear.
Because by then, she had already left the small drawing room with her daughter. As she carried her away from the castle abuzz with brightly lit toasts and laughter into the deep night’s silence, her expression could not be discerned.
The coldness emanating from her blended with the chill of the deep autumn night.
Perhaps she too could no longer differentiate.
“Mommy, are we not waiting for Daddy anymore?”
The unaware Little Bun, after seeing the liveliness around them had dissipated, asked milkily while lying on Mommy’s back.
Yin Hehe licked her lips.
It was a long ti before her dry, chapped lips could speak, and only then did she hear a soft “Mhm” from her: “Baby, Mommy will take you ho tonight.”
“Okay~~”
Upon hearing that she could go ho with Mommy tonight, Little Bun didn’t ask any further questions.
Yin Hehe then disappeared into the darkness.
And from beginning to end, she did not exhibit any intense emotions, as if so matters had long since ceased to concern her.
Half an hour later, Xu Guannan, who had been waiting outside all this ti, saw a familiar silhouette erge.
“President?”
He imdiately went to greet him.
But before he reached him, he suddenly saw a woman following out from behind his BOSS.
A woman?
Could it be the nanny?
Xu Guannan hadn’t seen anyone co out that evening and mistook the slender figure for the nanny on instinct.
But as it turned out, when he got closer, the man in the darkness suddenly backhanded the woman behind him with a fierce slap!
“Slap!”
In an instant, the crisp sound of the slap not only caused the woman to stumble.
It even gave Xu Guannan quite the startle.
What’s happening?
He looked at both individuals in shock.
It was then that he realized that the woman, who was almost knocked to the ground, was none other than Lin Shuang, whom he hadn’t seen in a long ti.
“You really want to die, don’t you?”
It was as if a terrifying voice crawled out from hell and spread through the darkness, making Lin Shuang shiver violently on the spot.
“No… no, Ayuan, I really ca because… I heard that the child is having surgery tomorrow, and then… then I ca over.”
She explained in an absolutely terrified manner, practically on the verge of kneeling before the man.
However, no sooner had she finished than she heard the man, who resembled a spectral figure, unleash a bloodthirsty and murderous intent in the darkness, saying, “You still want to play tricks before ?”
“…”
Lin Shuang was completely despairing.
“You simply wanted to use today’s event to force
into compliance. But let
tell you, if Sheng Siyuan wants soone dead, every extra minute they live must be paid back in twofold.”
He stepped forward slowly.
His tall figure appeared sophisticated and clear-cut as ever in the darkness, yet at this mont, the aura of death enshrouding him caused even the souls of those who saw him to tremble.
Lin Shuang collapsed on the ground.
Indeed, she had planned this all along tonight.
After receiving that picture from the cleaner, she went nearly mad, imdiately digging up all the information she could on this man from this side of the world, and flew over from ho.
And by coincidence, she arrived in ti for this banquet.
Such a banquet, if for discussing business, would not result in her being turned away by this man even if she appeared.
Because he could not afford to lose face.
Moreover, if she tried harder to perfect the image of the Shengshi Group’s lady, she could even score points for him and expedite the deal.
So, she made a grand entrance at last.
As she wished, she ultimately succeeded in driving away the nanny, and this man did not lash out at her during the banquet.
She thought everything was perfect!
Until now…
“Why are you so angry at ? Is it because Han Lina was driven away by my actions? Sheng Siyuan, what is it? You drove your ex-wife to death, and now you’ve taken a fancy to her nanny? Have you always had such heavy tastes?”
Suddenly, the woman sitting slumped on the ground, driven to the brink of despair, uttered these words laced with thick sarcasm!
