In the spacious dining room, the glittering crystal balls hanging from the chandelier reflected each person’s face.
Other than Ji Yunran’s slightly panicked countenance, the rest were filled with curiosity and anticipation.
Ji Yunran’s hand, which was holding her chopsticks, suddenly tightened,
she composed herself and said, "Duan Song."
An Yan feigned great surprise, "The master I wanted to introduce is also Master Duan Song. I didn’t expect you managed to arrange for him to treat Brother Three.
You’re really thoughtful. You know it’s very difficult to schedule an appointnt with Master Duan Song, and his consultation fees are very high, too.
I’ve been aning to visit the old man these past few days because I’ve been feeling a bit anxious."
Xu Wanqing agreed, "Prenatal anxiety should not be taken lightly; it’s related to the postpartal mood.
I’ve seen news reports that many pregnant won and new mothers get depression, and the consequences are quite terrible.
When the ti cos, Mom will accompany you."
An Yan nodded, "Mhm, alright."
Xu Wanqing patiently helped An Yan pick out fish bones and peel shrimp, "Eat more, snacking on little things isn’t enough."
An Yan blinked, looking very much like a child who sneaked so snacks, "You knew?"
"Hiding under the covers to eat, not even wanting to drink cubilose anymore. Shiyan is just too indulgent with you."
An Yan stuffed a peeled shrimp into her mouth, "He thinks I’ve been having a hard ti. I haven’t really had any snacks during the pregnancy."
Xu Wanqing stroked her prominent belly, sighing, "After all, carrying twins is more exhausting. My daughter has it tough. Alright, since it’s late in the pregnancy, eat whatever you like."
An Yan suppressed a laugh, "Why do I get the feeling you’re giving up?"
Xu Wanqing’s eyes were full of affection, "Nonsense, isn’t Mom just doting on you?"
Watching the interaction between mother and daughter, Ji Yunran lowered her eyes and bit her lip.
If it weren’t for that bitch Mu Anyan, everything now would belong to her!
She could no longer carry the Mu na; she could only take the na An. Even now, she couldn’t have her own na, forced to live using soone else’s face and na.
She hated it, hated it so much!
From the side, Mu Qianfan teased, "Mom, when Yunran gets pregnant, you have to take good care of her too."
Ji Yunran was startled, then smiled at Mu Qianfan.
For a mont, she wished she could forever be Ji Yunran. That way, she would have a career, a husband, and a family’s love.
But all that was nothing more than a mirage, a reflection in the water.
Her boss had dicated her, and she had to get the antidote every month on ti, or she would die.
She didn’t want to die, so it had to be them who died!
If An Yan went to see Duan Song, and they recognized each other, there’s no telling if Duan Song might betray her.
Then she would not only lose everything but also miss her chance for revenge.
The Mu Family raised her, but also ruined her, didn’t they?
If they hadn’t been so focused on finding their biological daughter, content to treat her well alone, she wouldn’t have ended up in this state.
Mu Qianfan took her hand, "Look how moved you are; whatever Little Jinqiao has, you’ll have too."
Xu Wanqing nodded, "Yunran, we’re all one family now. I’ll treat you just like Little Jinqiao."
Ji Yunran smiled faintly, "Thank you, Auntie."
Ji Yunran ate her al with a restless mind, and when she returned to her room, she dialed a number.
In a low voice, she said, "Boss, can you take care of Duan Song?"
"What’s wrong?"
"Mu Anyan is planning to see Duan Song for her prenatal anxiety, they know each other, and I’m worried it’ll give away."
The other party was silent for a mont, "Having Duan Song die at this juncture would seem very deliberate. Move the plan forward, get rid of the Mu family mbers. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
"You’ll get the antidote only if you do well, got it?"
"Understood."
"You have three days."
After hanging up the phone, Ji Yunran looked out at the moonlight through the window.
Just thinking about how she would receive the antidote and a hefty sum of money to leave this place and live the life she wanted once all the mbers of the Mu Family were dead filled her with excitent.
Gazing at her exquisite figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she found herself missing those intoxicating nights with Mu Qianfan.
Considering that she would make her move within three days and would never again taste the flavor of the outstanding man that was Mu Qianfan, she felt an itch in her heart.
She called Mu Qianfan, and he answered quickly.
"Qianfan."
Having just taken a shower, Mu Qianfan’s voice sounded languid, "What’s up?"
"I want you."
At those four words, Mu Qianfan imdiately felt nauseous, finding this woman utterly repulsive.
He suppressed the disgust in his heart, "I’m currently at the Mu Family..."
Ji Yunran interrupted him, "Qianfan, let’s spend the night out. If auntie and the others ask, just say we have to shoot a scene, okay? I really miss you."
Mu Qianfan ruffled his hair vigorously, "Alright, wait for , I’ll co to find you in a bit."
He went into the washroom and video called An Yan, "Little Five, I need a rescue."
"What happened?"
Mu Qianfan told An Yan about Ji Yunran wanting to book a hotel room with him, and An Yan couldn’t stop laughing.
"And you’re laughing? Your third brother is about to lose his innocence!"
An Yan cleared her throat, "I’ll get in touch with you right now. You go ahead and book a hotel. Send the room number, and I’ll take care of everything."
"My innocence is in your hands now."
"Pfft!" An Yan burst into laughter, "Don’t worry, not just for your sake, but also for dear Little Jinqiao."
After hanging up, she put on a mask and then video called the CV that she and Fu Shiyan had ticulously selected that night, "One million, I’ll send you the address in a while."
The man laughed in Mu Qianfan’s voice, "No problem, happy to oblige."
Soon, An Yan received a text ssage from Mu Qianfan and forwarded the contents to the man she had just contacted.
The man replied: OK!
An Yan inford Mu Qianfan that everything was ready, and only then did he feel relieved to et with Ji Yunran.
The two left the Mu Family residence and drove to the booked hotel.
Inside the car, Ji Yunran looked at Mu Qianfan with a face full of seduction.
"Qianfan, I’ve liked you for a very long ti."
"How long?"
"Very long, longer than you can imagine."
Mu Qianfan felt there was a hidden aning in her words, but Ji Yunran didn’t continue.
He glanced at her, "Thank you for liking , and for giving a chance to like you, to love you, and to be qualified to take care of you."
Ji Yunran had no doubt about Mu Qianfan’s words at the mont, convinced that under hypnosis, he was wholeheartedly in love with her.
However, what she truly wanted now was to enjoy the physical pleasure he brought, knowing that she wouldn’t be able to enjoy it for much longer.
The car stopped at the entrance of a five-star hotel, where both of them put on masks and hats before getting out of the car.
As public figures, even as a couple, they could attract criticism.
The two took their room card and went up to their floor.
Mu Qianfan still felt particularly anxious inside, fearing that if the man hadn’t shown up, he certainly would be unable to keep up the act, and his cover would be blown.
Lost in his thoughts, Ji Yunran took the room card, and with a beep, she unlocked the door to their room.
The corners of Mu Qianfan’s lips twitched behind his mask; he steeled himself and, with his hand on Ji Yunran’s shoulder, stepped through the door with her.
