Ling Xiaoran was a cautious man, who always brought a trusted legal adviser with him when he was about to sign a contract, lest he fell into some traps based on the legal provisions he was unfamiliar with.
He didnât worry about the content of this contract, but the contract itself indeed raised his curiosity of Duan Weiqi. He thought Duan Weiqi would refuse to have any business cooperation with Ling Group because of his sister Yueyu, and even made things difficult for Ling Group. But now, it seemed that this guy really had good potential for business.
The legal adviser had reviewed the terms in the contract and then returned it to Ling Xiaoran, âMr. Ling, the contract is true and correct, same as our previous draft.â
âAll right, Mr. Duan, letâs sign it!â
After signing the contract, Duan Weiqi got up at once and wanted to left. Of course, Ling Xiaoran wouldnât let him go simply because he had a more important task to complete. If Duan Weiqi left right now, not only his little sister, but his two younger brothers would not forgive him.
He shouted his name in a hurry, âMr. Duan, can we have a private talk?â
Duan Weiqi stopped without turning around, âWe have nothing left to talk about.â
Have a private talk?
In fact, if it were not for his generosity, what he wanted to do now would be throwing this bastard more punches.
âSeriously?â Ling Xiaoran smiled slightly, âI see. I didnât expect the famous Duan Weiqi was actually a coward, and even didnât have the courage to talk with me.â
Duan Weiqi stood still but sneered, âLing Xiaoran, if you want to goad me, youâd better save it. I wonât take your bait, but since you want to talk, I can give you a few minutes. Well, please make a long story short, you know Iâm very busy. â
Ling Xiaoran motioned his legal adviser to go first, then walked next to Duan Weiqi, and said with a strange smile, âItâs better to find a quiet place. After all, itâs a little bit private, I think maybe you donât want anyone to know it. â
Duan Weiqi gave him a cold glance, âOkay, rooftop. The rooftop of my company will be as quiet as you wish!â
âOK, I donât mind!â
Then, they decided to take the elevator to the rooftop of the Jinfeng Bank. None of them say a word in the elevator. As soon as they stood on the floor of rooftop, Ling Xiaoran suddenly gave Duan Weiqiâs chin a hard blow with his fist.
His punch was so strong that Duan Weiqi was knocked down and fell to the ground.
âI have been living on a principle since I was born. A counterattack is always reasonable for an attack. This punch was just a salute for you, how about it? Seems good, huh?â
Ling Xiaoran looked down at him. His defiant look successfully raised Duan Weiqiâs fighting will.
He quickly leaped from the ground and rushed to Ling Xiaoran like a tiger out of the cage. They soon scuffled with each other, completely abandoning their dignity and identity.
One wanted to vent his anger because his sister went to bed with this man, while the other wanted his ârival in loveâ to know who was better for He Yueyu.
The battle between the two men came to an end until both of them were scarred and exhausted, no more strength for another fist.
Both of them were sprawling on the dirty concrete floor. Looking at the blue sky above, Duan Weiqi panted out, âSo? Knowing she has been my girl makes you feel uncomfortable, right?â
He intuitively felt that Ling Xiaoran fought with him for it. When he thought of He Yueyu, his heart couldnât help twitching.
He really couldnât compare that sweet innocent girl with a love liar. If he hadnât witnessed it all personally, he would never believe she had deceived him.
Ling Xiaoran grinned and said calmly, âFifteen years ago, my younger sister was abducted. After she was rescued, my parents were afraid that similar incidents would happen again, so they changed the name Ling Yueyu to He Yueyu. Also strictly concealed the news that Ling family had a daughter. â
âWhat did you mean?â
Duan Weiqi suddenly sat up and yelled, and he even felt he must have misheard it.
Younger sister?
Ling Xiaoran tilted his head looking at Duan Weiqiâs shocked face, and laughed more, âDidnât Yueyu tell you that she has three overbearing brothers?â
For Duan Weiqi, the news was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. He Yueyu did tell him about her so-called elder brother, but⦠At the time, he only felt that she was lying and could not believe at all.
Gosh! What the hell had he done? So all he had seen was just a big misunderstanding?
He thought back to the time in the past and everything he had experienced. Suddenly a detail came to his mind, âBut Yueyu called you Xiaoran, never called you brother.â
âYes, she likes to call me Xiaoran, because we are afraid that she will leak out this secret to others unconsciously. Therefore, my sister has to act as a servant of Ling family in public, and she has to call the name of her brothers. Although she thought that acting like a maid was a little weird for her, we have to do so for her safety. âLing Xiaoran gave him a detailed explanation.
âDamn!â Duan Weiqi swore angrily.
Smart as he was, he didnât expect to make such a stupid mistake. In fact, he had tried to investigate her background carefully.
But what came out about He Yueyu was a mystery.
He had to admit that the confidential work of the Ling family was indeed meticulous enough, even he was deceived by them.
He stared at Ling Xiaoran with a worried face, âWhere is Yueyu now?â
Ling Xiaoran grinned and told him in a mocking tone, âHospital!â
âHospital?â He immediately raised his eyebrows, âWhy is she in that place?â He held Ling Xiaoran by his collar, âTell me what you have done to her?â
âDuan Weiqi, in fact, I think you should learn to control your temper. If you continue to be so impulsive, you are likely to be ranked in the blacklist of Ling family.â
âDamn, I donât have time to listen to your nonsense. Hurry up and tell me which hospital Yueyu is exactly in? Why is she in hospital?â
âWell, since you care my sister so muchâ¦â
Ling Xiaoran said slowly, âShe suddenly fainted while having breakfast yesterday. Then I took her to the hospital, and findâ¦â
âAnd find what?â Duan Weiqi was getting crazy by Ling Xiaoranâs drawl, and he was sure that this guy must have prepense to do it.
âThe doctor said⦠she was pregnant!â
Ling Xiaoran finally told him the truth, and then found Duan Weiqi slowly petrified into a dumb statue with a holding collar posture.
He put Duan Weiqiâs hand aside, and slowly got up from the ground. He tidied up his clothes, and then kicked Duan Weiqi with his feet, trying to wake him up from shock.
âIn order to ensure Yueyuâs body can give birth to a healthy baby, I have decided to let her stay in the hospital for two days to have a general check-up. Hey, I donât need to tell you who is the father of this baby right?â
After a while, Duan Weiqi stretched out his hand and pinched his own thigh. Itâs hurt!
So this was not a dream. He jumped up from the ground vigorously like he was just injected morphine, âIs Yueyu really pregnant?â
Heâs going to be a dad. Oh dear, heâs going to be a dad!
Ling Xiaoran frowned, âDo you doubt it?â
âNo one knows more than me about the father of this baby!â He gave Ling Xiaoran a straight glance, âYou havenât told me which hospital she is in now.â
Ling Xiaoran grinned, and put his hands on Duan Weiqiâs shoulder as a brother, âIf you want to be my brother-in-law, at least you should call me elder brother at first.â
How can he easily marry his sister? Duan Weiqi should know the importance of Ling Xiaoran first. He could not allow him marry his baby sister who he cared so many years without any difficulties.
Moreover, they had tried to outwit each other so many years, and no one could tell the winner. Now was a good time to know who would bow to the other first.
However, Ling Xiaoranâs voice faded in a great pain from his jaw and tinnitus in his ears. He took a few steps backwards to stand still, and stared at Duan Weiqi while covered his chin with his hands.
âSirrah, how dare you hit me â¦â
Duan Weiqi gave him a complacent look, âObviously, to a certain extent you have underestimated my ability in some fields.â
