The lady is pregnant! Third Master, please restrain yourself after the marriage.

Jiang Nan's hospitality was too much to refuse.

Aside from not being able to drink coffee due to pregnancy, I'll have both cake and tea.

Chen Lin followed her back to the office, feeling both shocked and delighted.

"I knew you couldn't be someone's mistress. Now the truth is out, you're actually a member of the royal family."

Chen Lin smiled happily; she was the only person in the entire company who was truly sincere towards Jiang Nan.

Jiang Nan put down her teacup and the small cake.

He sat down at his desk, smiled, and looked up. "There's no difference. It's all about getting in through connections, isn't it?"

"Of course it's different. You don't look like that kind of person at all."

"Why not?"

Chen Lin said earnestly, "You are more beautiful than female celebrities, you have a great temperament, and you look very noble, just like a fairy."

"How could such a beautiful girl do such a thing? Those scumbag men don't deserve her."

Jiang Nan was amused by her words and asked curiously, "I'd like to know, at first, everyone thought I was someone's lover?"

"There are several guesses. One is Chairman Wen, and some say General Manager Wen. Oh right, there's also General Manager Chen from the Board of Directors."

Chen Lin shuddered as she thought about President Chen's image.

He was pot-bellied, had a receding hairline, and was very obese; he looked ten years older than Tang De.

She couldn't accept it.

How could the stunningly beautiful Jiang Nan possibly accept this!

"..."

Jiang Nan declined to comment and shook his head helplessly.

Although this was her first time entering the workforce, the competition there was actually quite similar to that in the dance troupe.

From the time she started school, she suffered a lot of gossip and rumors.

She was even almost bullied in the university dance troupe.

However, she was never one to be manipulated.

When Wen Wan learned that Jiang Nan's identity had been discovered by everyone in the company, she immediately felt a sense of crisis.

"Mom, don't you think Jiang Nan has really changed? She's really changed!"

Wen Wan keenly sensed something was wrong and said in a panic, "She changed from the moment she broke up with Ziqian and missed the engagement party."

Qi Nianci had already discovered it.

She narrowed her sinister eyes, "Regardless of whether this bitch knows anything or not, I will absolutely ruin her reputation!"

A sharp glint flashed in Wen Wan's eyes. "But we don't know where she lives."

"The people we sent to keep watch at Qin Huan's house said they hadn't seen Jiang Nan there. Mom, that bitch Jiang Nan is lying. She's deliberately hiding where she lives from us."

Qi Nianci scoffed, "We can't do anything about her in Hong Kong, but what if we're not in Hong Kong?"

"Mom means..."

Wen Wan looked at Qi Nianci with suspicion.

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance.

Qi Nianci whispered something in her ear, her voice chilling, "Don't worry, Jiang Nan is doomed this time. Even if she doesn't want to marry, she'll have to!"

Wen Wan felt a surge of excitement after hearing the plan.

Damn Jiang Nan!

She should have been trampled into the mud long ago!

Just as Jiang Nan was about to leave work, Li Zaiming asked for her help, saying that something had happened at home and he hoped that Jiang Nan could go to Haishi for him.

"Director Jiang, my wife is due to give birth in the next couple of days, and I really can't leave. I'm begging you for help." Li Zaiming said sincerely.

Jiang Nanqing looked at him with a cold expression, lost in thought.

After hesitating for two seconds, she agreed, "Okay, I'll go for you."

Lee Jae-myung repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

Watching his departing figure, Jiang Nan's expression remained calm, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Then, he told Chen Lin to go back and prepare, as she would fly to Haishi the next day.

The purpose of my trip to Haishi is to attend a pharmaceutical research and development conference.

It's held almost every year, which is not surprising.

Jiang Nan drove home.

As I was about to unlock the door and enter, I inexplicably felt like someone was watching me from behind.

She paused, then turned to look at the opposite door.

But the door was tightly shut.

There was no one around.

This is an upscale residential area with tight security; even food delivery and courier drivers are not allowed to enter.

Jiang Nan didn't think much of it and went home to start packing her clothes.

They are going on a business trip for a week.

As Jiang Nan was tidying up, a specific message notification sounded.

Jiang Nan paused.

Pick up the phone that was lying next to me.

Swipe your finger across the screen to switch to another system.

Night sent a message: "Wen's Group is still trying to contact you, wanting to acquire the patent for the special drug."

"This time, they've offered a high price of 500 million. Are you really not going to consider it?"

Jiang Nan scanned the information with an indifferent expression.

There were also many comments preceding these messages.

Jiang Nan lowered his eyelids as he pondered. Wen Jizong's willingness to spend so much on this special medicine must mean he wasn't just after profit.

In the pharmaceutical industry.

Unless it's a highly effective cancer drug that receives a lot of attention, the market for these niche drugs is actually relatively smaller.

Wen Jizong is a profit-driven businessman; he would never spend such a large sum of money to buy this.

There must be a reason for this.

Jiang Nan reiterated, "Not for sale."

But this time, she didn't quit directly.

The other party replied: "Selling the patent for this money is actually a good deal. What are you considering?"

"It's a niche disease, not covered by medical insurance. Once we sell this special drug to him, we won't have any say in how it's priced in the future."

Jiang Nan's arguments were clear and his stance was very distinct.

The other party was clearly impressed by this.

"Am I being narrow-minded, or are you being very considerate?"

"Hey, can you do me a favor and ask him why he insists on buying this patent?"

Without a second thought, the other person replied, "Wait for my message."

Jiang Nan quickly typed a few words: "Thanks."

After sending the message, she exited the phone screen.

After packing my luggage.

Jiang Nan then took the trash to the door.

As I was about to go back inside, I heard a familiar female voice, "Brother Beixun, this place is so beautiful! Did you really buy it for me?"

"Thank you, I like it very much."

Jiang Nan paused as he walked back into the house.

Looking back.

Then the door across the hall slowly closed.

In the dim light, Jiang Nan saw Ji Yishu's bright and charming smiling face, radiating happiness.

Standing before her was Xiao Beixun, who always possessed an air of nobility.

But Jiang Nan didn't notice his expression.

But Jiang Nan thought of four words: keeping a mistress in a golden house?

Jiang Nan's heart inexplicably sank, and as she looked down at her flat stomach, she couldn't help but struggle.

Will Xiao Beixun really marry her for the sake of the child?

However, judging from his doting attitude towards Ji Yishu, Xiao Beixun must have feelings for her.

If that's the case, why did Xiao Beixun succumb to her seduction?

Jiang Nan's expression turned indifferent. Without thinking further, he went inside and closed the door.

Let's ignore that for now.

Tomorrow, after I wake up, I'll be going to Haishi with Chen Lin.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will be another tough battle.

The next morning, Jiang Nan drove to pick up Chen Lin and take her to the airport.

She parked the car at the airport and boarded a plane with Chen Lin directly to Haishi.

The flight takes three hours.

Jiang Nan took out his phone, preparing to turn on airplane mode, but frowned slightly when he noticed Xiao Beixun's WeChat profile picture.

It seems that Ji Yishu stayed overnight at his place last night...
