Chapter 440: Chapter 440: I’m Pregnant

Convincing Cheng Qiaobei had to be halted due to Cheng Xiangheng’s sudden illness, and evidence found by the police was very unfavorable to Huang Yuanwei. The network involved drug trafficking, Zhengtong Capital’s tax evasion issues, and even implicated Huang Kangtai and his enterprises. His economic problems during his tenure as the chamber’s president were also exposed.

Li Huanran, seeing the situation was unfavorable, truthfully informed Huang Kangtai, advising him to prepare mentally. With the current evidence the police had, it would be difficult for Huang Yuanwei to escape charges, so the best they could do was strive for leniency in sentencing.

Huang Kangtai was not only trying to protect Huang Yuanwei but also solve his own problems, leaving him in a frenzied state.

The predicament the Huang Family was in today was all thanks to the Cheng Family’s father and son, and thinking of this made them hateful.

Meanwhile, Yuan Xiao also got word that Huang Yuanwei was unlikely to evade trouble, but since the shipyard still depended on Huang Kangtai’s connections and resources, she dared not make a move and couldn’t easily leave the Huang Family’s protection.

But if Huang Kangtai couldn’t even protect himself, she must jump out of this deep hole of the Huang Family.

Moreover, watching the fetus in her belly develop day by day, her feelings were mixed and twisted.

The reason she was willing to keep the child initially was that Huang Kangtai could protect the Yuan Family. But now seeing Huang Kangtai under investigation, she didn’t want this child conceived from violation.

Yuan Xiao thought of one person, someone who could rival Huang Kangtai, but she didn’t know if he would be willing to see her.

...

Due to the promotion during Labor Day and the initial guests having had a good experience, a month before the National Day holiday, the Eastern First-class Hotel chain once again experienced a booking frenzy, with all hotel rooms fully occupied.

Having completed tasks ahead of schedule, Cheng Qiaobei arranged a vacation for everyone. He rarely took two days off, waking up lazily in the morning sunlight.

Chen Ningxi had gone to work and left him a note to remember to have breakfast, but by now breakfast had turned into lunch.

The robot vacuum was at work, while Cheng Qiaobei leisurely ate breakfast, enjoying a relaxing life, and sent a photo to Chen Ningxi.

north: I’ve eaten.

Chen Ningxi was inspecting work at the wind power site, nearly two o’clock after a round. She wasn’t fussy and joined everyone in eating boxed lunch at the site.

As soon as she unpacked the disposable chopsticks, a call came from Cheng Qiaobei.

She held the phone between her shoulder and ear, "Hello?"

"Hello what? I sent you a message, haven’t replied in two hours; do I have any family status in this house?" Cheng Qiaobei slowly chewed an apple slice.

With many people around, Chen Ningxi set down her chopsticks and went outside to take the call.

She smiled and said, "Of course you have status."

Cheng Qiaobei put down his fork, "If there’s status yet two hours no reply, what if there’s no status, would you rebel against heaven?"

Chen Ningxi asked, "What time did you get up?"

Cheng Qiaobei: "Almost twelve."

Chen Ningxi: "Breakfast—no, lunch yet?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "Eaten."

Chen Ningxi asked, "What did you eat?"

Cheng Qiaobei: "Breakfast."

Chen Ningxi: "..."

Cheng Qiaobei laughed, "Breakfast is easy to digest."

Chen Ningxi told him not to bluff, "There’s food in the fridge; make something you like."

Cheng Qiaobei said, "Not much appetite, might take another nap later."

Knowing how hard he worked, Chen Ningxi felt for him, "I’ll make something delicious for you when I get home tonight."

Before hanging up, an unfamiliar number came through.

Cheng Qiaobei ignored it, likely some solicitation or lecture phone call.

A few days ago, visiting the Chen Family, Chen Ningxi’s little cousin used his phone to search for homework answers, resulting in calls selling primary school courses these days.

"Manager Chen,"

Cheng Qiaobei heard someone calling Chen Ningxi over the receiver, "You go ahead."

She hung up, and Cheng Qiaobei just about to set down his phone when the previous number called again.

If it was a solicitation call, there should be a prompt; worried it might be a business partner’s call, he answered.

"Hello, who is this?" Cheng Qiaobei asked.

Two seconds of silence in the receiver, then a woman’s familiar voice appeared, "Cheng Qiaobei, it’s me."

Cheng Qiaobei: "Yuan Xiao?"

Yuan Xiao had just walked out of Eastern First-class; an employee on duty told her Manager Cheng was not there and she could leave contact details for business inquiries.

"You’re not at the company?"

Cheng Qiaobei said, "No."

He didn’t say where he was; if the other party was tactful, they wouldn’t continue asking.

Yuan Xiao asked, "Where are you? Can we meet?"

Cheng Qiaobei frowned, "Not convenient."

"!" Yuan Xiao choked.

Out of politeness, Cheng Qiaobei said, "I have something here, need to hang up."

Seeing the screen display the end of call words, Yuan Xiao’s heart sank.

If it were her, she wouldn’t be willing to meet either.

But the only person who could help her compete with Huang Kangtai was Cheng Qiaobei.

After inquiring through multiple channels, Yuan Xiao found the neighborhood where Cheng Qiaobei lived.

The screen showed Yuan Xiao’s number again, and Cheng Qiaobei quickly operated the phone before tossing it aside.

Yuan Xiao called several times, all indicating busy line; she realized Cheng Qiaobei had blocked her.

Since not answering, she could only make a personal visit.

Cheng Qiaobei was about to lay down to sleep when the doorbell rang.

He didn’t expect Yuan Xiao would find his home, watched her through the visual phone, and pretended not to be home.

Unexpectedly, she climbed up the stairs.

Behind the door, Yuan Xiao pleaded, "Cheng Qiaobei, past events were my fault, but I came today for urgent matters. Please open the door... I’ll not leave until I see you."

Inside, Cheng Qiaobei’s face was grim and cold; he turned to the living room, picked up his phone, and called the security.

Over ten minutes later, security arrived.

Security asked Yuan Xiao, "Are you the business owner in this neighborhood?"

Yuan Xiao pointed to the door, "I came to see my friend."

Security said, "Miss, sorry, the owner complained to us; you’d better leave."

Yuan Xiao continued knocking on the door, shouting inside, "Cheng Qiaobei, please open the door; you’re the only one who can help me now."

Security quickly restrained her, "Stop knocking; if the owner doesn’t open the door, he doesn’t want to see you; hurry up and leave."

Seeing security about to pull her away, Yuan Xiao hurriedly said, "I’m pregnant. If anything happens, can you afford the responsibility?"

"Huh? ... Pregnant?"

"... A pregnant woman?"

Mentioning pregnancy, both securities exchanged looks, realizing they couldn’t pull her but from another angle, it seemed like the pregnant woman was asking Cheng Qiaobei to take responsibility.

Such an incident was rare and unexpected for the two of them.

Inside, Cheng Qiaobei wanted to curse, and to avoid misunderstandings, he opened the door, with a stern face saying, "What’s your pregnancy got to do with me."

Yuan Xiao immediately understood and explained, "It has nothing to do with you; I want to ask for a favor."

Security looked at Cheng Qiaobei, who said, "You go downstairs with security; I’ll change clothes and come."

He closed the door, Yuan Xiao followed security into the elevator.
