âI truly do like you and want to be with you, Wu Hao...â
Wu Hao smirked. He took a step back and leaned against the car. His head was lowered, and he did not look at Jiang Qianqian when he casually replied, âAbort the baby.â
Jiang Qianqian was in disbelief. Her eyes widened as she stared at Wu Hao, and she parted her lips stiffly. âWu... Wu Hao, what are you saying?â
Ever since Xu Wennuan had personally witnessed her interaction with Wu Hao at her doorstep, Wu Hao had ceased all contact with her. He had neither responded to her text messages nor answered her calls, and when she had arrived at his company to look for him, she had been denied entrance at the reception desk. He had even changed his address.
She was already two months pregnant when she had found out about her pregnancy; however, she had deliberately kept it a secret from him and waited until the fetus was four months old and an abortion was impossible before she went looking for him. She hadnât expected, though, that the first thing he would say to her was to abort her baby.
Jiang Qianqianâs eyes became misty. She stared at Wu Hao for a while before she finally said, âThe baby is already four months old. Undergoing such an operation at that stage is very dangerous. Moreover, Wu Hao, how can you disregard me like that?â
When Wu Hao heard her rebuttal, he laughed, before raising his hand to tilt Jiang Qianqianâs chin and lifting her face so he could look directly into her eyes. Then, he made sure to enunciate every word as he said, âI can even disregard and hurt a girl whom Iâve been together with for 10 years. What do you think you mean to me?â
The blood drained from Jiang Qianqianâs face. Wu Hao lowered his head slightly and, in a spookily gentle voice, he said, âThis child is in your belly, and whether you choose to give birth to it or not is your problem. In any case, I will not acknowledge it, so I advise you to undergo an abortion for the sake of your future.â
After that, Wu Hao released Jiang Qianqianâs chin. He took another two steps back and pulled open the car door.
As he bent over to enter the car, he turned around to look at Jiang Qianqian as if he had suddenly remembered something. âI had always assumed that you knew why I was with you; I did not expect you to be so silly. Because thatâs the case, let me tell you honestly now that there is no way I would ever marry you. To be blunt, Iâve never considered being with you for more than a night.â
He paused momentarily before continuing. âEven if Wennuan hadnât run into us back then, our relationship would never have gone anywhere. After all, Iâm getting married, arenât I?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Two days after Old Master Guâs 80th birthday, Gu Yusheng had to attend to urgent matters at his companyâs Shanghai branch, taking him away for a week. At midnight after he left, Qin Zhiâai received a call that awakened her from her dreams. The call was from the Gu Mansion.
Itâs so late! Could something have happened?
Qin Zhiâaiâs heart started pounding, and any lingering sleepiness instantly vanished. She swiftly answered the phone with a âhello,â when Nanny Zhangâs anxious voice said, âMiss Qin? Is Young Master at home?â
âHe went on a business trip...â Qin Zhiâaiâs sense of bad premonition was growing increasingly stronger. She quickly added, âDid something happen?â
âItâs Old Master. Heâs been feeling down ever since his birthday. He didnât eat his dinner tonight, and he was still fine when I checked on him a couple of times around 10:00 p.m., but I just went in again and found him unconscious...â
