Beg Me to Remarry
Chapter 527 - 528: Being Threatened

Chapter 527: Chapter 528: Being Threatened

"Pregnant?" Fu Han’s face lit up with shock and joy when she heard this. She reached out to touch Nan Qing’s belly, which was as flat as a plain. Who could imagine that inside, there resided a tiny life?

Blushing even more intensely, Nan Qing gathered her courage and spoke again, "Wang Yixuan really likes children, so he insists I give birth to ours. He said he wants to marry me, so we came back here."

The temperature in the heated room was rising, and Fu Han’s face turned a bright red, looking even happier than Nan Qing, the mother-to-be.

But her merry face turned solemn as she spoke with uncertainty, "But... what did your parents say? Did they agree?"

At that, the faint smile on Nan Qing’s face collapsed completely, and she looked at Fu Han with a pained expression, "That’s the problem. Wang Yixuan dislikes being tied down, so he will certainly not agree to work for Nangong Group. And my parents have made it clear that my husband is to inherit the company. I... I..."

The topic suddenly became heavy, and Fu Han looked at Nan Qing with a sympathetic gaze. Large families had their large-family troubles. As the only child of the Nangong family, Nan Qing was destined from birth to bear the burden of Nangong Group, yet she had no interest in taking over the company.

Eventually, Nan Qing’s parents came up with a compromise: Nan Qing’s future husband would marry into the Nangong family and inherit the Nangong Group.

Although Wang Yixuan was indeed outstanding, his excellence had no bearing on inheriting the conglomerate. If Nan Qing wasn’t CEO material, then it was likely that Wang Yixuan had nothing to do with that role.

It wasn’t that he didn’t look the part of a domineering CEO, but rather because he was like the wind, no one could keep him in one place. All you could do was move forward alongside him.

Fu Han was well aware of Nan Qing’s predicament, but even she didn’t know how to deal with the situation. All she could do was pat Nan Qing’s shoulder in consolation, "Things will work out when they come to a head. Your parents have been dreaming of you getting married, and now with a package offer of ’buy one get one free’, I don’t think they’ll object too much."

"Buy one get one free?" Nan Qing rolled her eyes helplessly, "Then you’ve guessed wrong. ’Buy one get one free’ should apply to the Wang Family, since Wang Yixuan has never considered marrying into the Nangong family. He also said his child can only carry the Wang surname."

"What do you think?" Fu Han asked, frowning prettily. The gravity of the situation wasn’t major or minor, but mainly depended on the wishes of Nan Qing and Wang Yixuan.

Nan Qing’s gaze fell on the balcony, where there was a hanging basket she loved to nest in and read books, creating a world of silence around Nan Qing.

A few seconds later, she turned to Fu Han, "As for the surname, I really don’t care. I couldn’t care less about what surname my child carries. He’s my child, and even if his surname is Wang, he will still be my child. That will never change."

Fu Han wholly agreed with her words; she felt the same way.

Many people care deeply about surnames, thinking that if a child bears their surname, they are truly theirs and can inherit the throne of the family.

But what’s important in life isn’t the name, but the individual themselves.

We often miss what we should pay attention to by getting distracted by other things.

With a mix of joy and helplessness on her face, Nan Qing shook Fu Han’s shoulders pleadingly, "Fu Han, I told my parents that I’m bringing my boyfriend to meet them tomorrow, and we plan to lay everything out. I reckon my parents are going to be furious and give Wang Yixuan a hard time; but with you there, it won’t be as awkward. You’re my lifesaver; if you tell them you brought Wang Yixuan and me together, they’ll surely consider the fact that you once saved my life. They won’t want to embarrass you and won’t make things too difficult for Wang Yixuan."

"But have you considered one thing?" Fu Han replied with an air of resignation, "I might be able to help you out temporarily, but I can’t do it for your whole life. If I’m not around, your parents will still cause trouble if they feel like it."

"That’s a problem for later." With her amber eyes wide open, Nan Qing looked at Fu Han, her gaze incredibly persuasive, "That’s where you come in again. As long as you stay with me until I get married, my parents won’t voice their grievances, even if they’re upset inside."

"You really take advantage of me thoroughly, not shy at all," Fu Han sighed. She knew resistance was futile and might as well agree graciously, but she couldn’t help airing her grievance, "I merely saved your life by coincidence; what makes you think your parents will do me any favors?"

"Well..." Looking conflicted, Nan Qing prodded Fu Han’s cheek, "I’ll just have to grasp at straws. After all, the baby inside me is most important."

Fu Han let out a deep sigh without responding, feeling truly that Nan Qing was a piece of work, and she wholeheartedly resisted getting involved.

Unexpectedly, Nan Qing glared and said sternly, "If you don’t help me, you can forget about being a godmother."

This was her trump card, at least for Fu Han.

With a pained rub of her forehead, Fu Han responded in utter resignation, "Alright, alright, I’ll do as you say. How would you like me to proceed?"

"That’s more like it." Nan Qing grinned, eyes turning into slits as she patted Fu Han’s head, "There’s another thing I need your help with. If my parents find out Wang Yixuan and I have been living together, they’ll be livid. And since he’s worried about me, he refuses to stay in a hotel... So could you stay here as well? That might convince my parents we haven’t done anything improper."

Fu Han rolled her eyes unabashedly at Nan Qing, "You’re pregnant already. Do you think your parents will believe you’re innocent? You want me here; isn’t that just deceiving ourselves?"

"So, do you want to be a godmother or what?" Nan Qing played her trump card again, even more adeptly than before.

Sighing, Fu Han conceded, "Fine, I’ll do as you ask. But at night, I’ll just stay in my own room, so don’t involve me in any of your activities."

Truthfully, she had had an argument with He Xing that day, and she didn’t feel like returning to the He Family so quickly. Staying here was an agreeable option: it solved her accommodation problem and helped Nan Qing.

However, being a third wheel was utterly unpleasant, something she profoundly and extremely resisted.

A knocking sound broke the silence, loud and insistent, as if fearful of not being heard.

Excited, Nan Qing ran towards the door, calling out while running, "Wang Yixuan is back."
