I slept with the wrong person on my wedding night, and the boss spoiled me rotten!

"Okay, Mr. Li."

After Secretary Su left, Lai Yiu-fai called Lu Chen in.

"Ah Chen, come and sit down."

Lai Yiu-fai sat at the tea table, pouring tea and greeting customers.

Lu Chen walked over and sat down, politely accepting the teacup offered to him.

Did you know that Xuxu is pregnant?

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Chen nearly dropped the teacup from his hand. "How...how did you know?"

"She just resigned, saying the doctor advised her to rest and protect the pregnancy. Did you know about this?"

Lai Yiu-fai asked directly.

"I...know a little bit." Lu Chen's eyes flickered.

Grandpa Li is old and has only two children, Li Yaohui and Lu Chen.

Although Lai Yiu-fai has been married for many years, he has no children, and there have long been rumors that he is infertile.

That's why Old Master Li brought this illegitimate son back to raise him.

Now that Jiang Xuxu is pregnant, Li Yaohui is arguably even more anxious than Lu Chen.

Once the child's father is confirmed to be Lu Chen, his status within the Li family may be vastly different from what it once was.

Lu Chen was certainly aware of this as well.

His relationship with Lin Tingran has been stable over the years, simply because they haven't been able to have a child.

Lai Yiu-fai turned a blind eye, but kept a close eye on the two women's movements.

Even if Lin Tingran is pregnant with his child, Li Yaohui will not allow her to give birth.

He had never touched Jiang Xuxu, partly because she herself was unwilling, and partly because of Lu Chen's concerns.

He hoped that Jiang Xuxu would gain the old man's approval on the day she entered the family.

The old man detested women who were impure before marriage, and Jiang Xuxu was indeed the first choice for a virtuous wife and loving mother.

"You know Dad's temper. If you want Xiao Jiang to come into the family..."

"Brother!" Lu Chen quickly interrupted him, "Xu Xu and I broke up a long time ago."

"Really? But I heard you went back to her hometown with her a few days ago."

Lai Yiu-fai spoke gently, but his eyes held a hint of pressure.

"I really wanted to win her back, but she wouldn't, and she even had a whirlwind marriage with another man."

Lai Yiu-fai seemed thoughtful. Lu Chen had mentioned to him before that Jiang Xuxu was dating their nemesis.

"Is it Gu Jingshen?"

Lu Chen suddenly looked up. "You knew too?"

Lai Yiu-fai waved his hand, "You should go back to work first. It's good that the child isn't yours, so the old man won't have to worry."

After Lu Chen left the office, Li Yaohui called Secretary Su again: "Investigate Gu Jingshen of Shenxu. What is his relationship with Jiang Xuxu?"

He had to make sure that the child in Jiang Xuxu's womb was not Lu Chen's.

After resigning, Jiang Xuxu felt much more relaxed.

Even the air on my way home smelled sweet.

The busy life of these past few years has left her breathless.

She wants to give herself a good break and sleep for three days and three nights!

Seeing her so happy, Qin Feng couldn't help but ask, "Madam, you seem to be in a good mood today. Did you get a promotion and a raise?"

He asked on behalf of Gu Jingshen.

"I resigned," Jiang Xuxu said lightly.

"Congratulations, Madam." Qin Feng smiled, keeping his eyes on the road as he drove.

Jiang Xuxu smiled without saying a word.

Who congratulates someone on losing their job? They're definitely someone Gu Jingshen trained.

But Qin Feng didn't take her home; instead, he drove towards the outskirts of the city.

"Qin Feng, where are we going?"

"Mr. Gu is waiting for you."

Jiang Xuxu didn't ask any more questions. Now that he was the sugar daddy, he had the final say.

----------------

Half an hour later, Gu Jingshen was still waiting for Qin Feng's call in his office.

He would take Jiang Xuxu to the designated location, and then he would go there together to return to the old house and have dinner with the old man.

But after waiting for a long time, Qin Feng still hadn't called.

So he called to inquire, but no one answered.

He dialed Jiang Xuxu's number again, but there was no answer.

A few minutes later the phone rang, and the caller ID showed Jiang Xuxu.

"Hello, Xuxu," Gu Jingshen answered the phone quickly.

"Gu Jingshen, I...we were in a car accident, Qin Feng, he..."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingshen's heart tightened, and he grabbed his coat and went out.

When they arrived at the hospital, Jiang Xuxu was sitting on a bench in the corridor with a worried expression.

His body and hands were covered in blood.

Upon seeing Gu Jingshen, she immediately stood up, rushed forward, and hugged him, choking back tears as she said, "Jingshen, Qin Feng is inside being treated..."

Gu Jingshen quickly checked her for injuries, "How are you? Are you hurt?"

Jiang Xuxu shook her head: "I'm fine, and the child is fine too. This is Qin Feng's blood."

Gu Jingshen was still worried, so he carried her to the nurses' station and checked her over again.

I was only slightly relieved after confirming that she had only scratched her forehead.

After listening to Jiang Xuxu's account, they learned that they had been rear-ended by a car on their way here.

The car veered off the road and crashed into the roadside guardrail. Jiang Xuxu, who was sitting in the back seat, hit her head on the windshield and suffered a cut.

Qin Feng, in order to protect Jiang Xuxu and minimize the danger to the back seat, was seriously injured when the front of the car was crushed and deformed by an oncoming truck.

Gu Jingshen held Jiang Xuxu in his arms at the entrance of the emergency room, offering comforting words: "Don't worry, Qin Feng will be alright."

Qin Feng had followed him for fifteen years, and their friendship was like that of brothers.

Gu Jingshen wouldn't just stand by and watch him get into trouble.

Meanwhile, Lu Tingzhou learned that they had been in a car accident on their way here and immediately ordered Uncle Zhou to thoroughly investigate the matter.

"Find the perpetrator and make him pay the price."

Subsequently, Lu Tingzhou personally visited the hospital, but did not meet with Gu Jingshen.

Uncle Qin also rushed over after receiving the news. Qin Feng was his grandson, and they were both retainers of the Lu family.

Three hours later, Qin Feng was wheeled out of the operating room.

"His lung was pierced by a falling steel bar, and his injuries are serious. He is out of immediate danger, but still needs to be observed."

Uncle Qin breathed a sigh of relief, his hand holding Qin Feng trembling slightly, his eyes reddening.

Gu Jingshen looked at Qin Feng's pale face, his white knuckles clenching slightly.

Not wanting Jiang Xuxu to worry, Gu Jingshen took her home to rest first.

Soon, Uncle Zhou called: "The perpetrator was a drunkard who only confessed after breaking his leg..."

Lu Tingzhou's tone was icy: "Fine, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, he turned around and patted Uncle Qin on the shoulder, "Old Qin, the Lu family will give you an explanation for this matter."

Uncle Qin shook his head. "Sir, you're too kind. This is Feng'er's good fortune. That's all."

Jiang Xuxu felt extremely guilty.

Even after returning home, she still felt lingering fear, having just watched helplessly as Qin Feng shielded her from a fatal blow.

If it weren't for him, it would have been her and her unborn child who were impaled by the steel bars.

"Gu Jingshen, should I have...?"

"It's not your fault, someone else deserves to die!" Gu Jingshen's tone was icy, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.

"It's all my fault, I'm the one who ruined Qin Feng..."

She cried herself to sleep in Gu Jingshen's arms, even sobbing softly in her dreams.

This time, she was truly frightened.

It also made her realize that as long as she stayed by Gu Jingshen's side, she would bring disaster to the people around him.

She couldn't think of anyone else besides Lu Chen for this matter.

I never expected Lu Chen to be so horrible and dark. In order to take revenge on her, he didn't even spare the innocent people around her.

The next day, she decided to go and talk to Lu Chen in person.
