Chapter 157: 157 Battle for Child3_1

"A male?" The man on the other end of the phone repeated, asking ominously, "What’s his name, tell me?"

Shen Hanqian’s eyes lit up, and she couldn’t conceal her happy smile. "Why, are you going to beat him up?"

"What do you think?"

"Don’t worry, it’s a girl!" Shen Hanqian glanced at Lin Xiangwan, then returned her attention to the phone. "There is something I was hoping you could help me with?"

"Oh? What is it?" Xiao Qingcang asked dismissively.

Shen Hanqian felt a little amused, wondering if he would still agree so readily when she explained. "Well... promise me first that you will help, alright?"

"You asking me for a favor and making demands, this must be no small matter!" Xiao Qingcang chuckled knowingly.

Shen Hanqian quickly responded. "No, not at all, it’s not a complicated issue and it has nothing to do with your business affairs, just everyday matters!"

"Ha... ha..." Xiao Qingcang let out a deep, low chuckle. "Go on, then!"

"Well, I have a friend who has two children with the CEO of Huatai, Qin Muchuan. Now the children’s father wants to take the children away. Do you think you could help this poor mother?"

Xiao Qingcang frowned more deeply as he listened. "You want me to meddle in other people’s family affairs? Do you think I am a neighbourhood auntie?"

Lin Xiangwan, who was beside Shen, had already heard parts of the conversation and looked anxiously at Shen Hanqian.

Shen Hanqian gave her a ’calm down’ look and continued tussling with the person on the phone. "You already promised me. And, I’ve never asked you for any favours before. Do you think you can say no to me?"

"But this matter puts me in a difficult position. I’d rather you asked me to poach their company contracts!" Xiao Qingcang joked awkwardly.

Shen Hanqian let out a feigned, dim-witted laugh, pretending to be guileless. "I think you should be grateful to me that I’m not asking you to take care of Qin Muchuan and marry him!"

Xiao Qingcang was taken aback at first, then chuckled as he warned her. "That’s not a funny joke. You better not make such thoughtless remarks!"

Shen Hanqian quickly put on a serious face. "I don’t want to make thoughtless remarks, so will you help or not?"

After some consideration, Xiao Qingcang finally said. "Just this once, but I can only ask around. I can’t guarantee success!"

"Your willingness to help is already a big thank you!"

Xiao Qingcang’s voice became low and husky, filled with sensual desire. "So, how do you intend to thank me?"

"I’ll take you out for a meal when I get back!"

"Can’t I have a meal without you?" He countered discontentedly.

"So, how do you want me to thank you?" Shen Hanqian asked him.

"Give me a bath, you made me feel so comfortable the last time you did!" Xiao Qingcang requested.

Holding the phone, Shen Hanqian blushed when she remembered how their last bathing session had ended up with them sharing a bed and doing the deed with nothing on. She even performed oral sex on him once. Her face burned at the thought, she swallowed the lump in her throat and said, "We’ll talk about it when I get back, I’m with a friend!"

With that, she ended the call.

Listening to the conversation between her friend on the other end, Lin Xiangwan managed to pick up quite a bit of information. Qianqian... wasn’t her husband Qiao Junnan? But the person on the phone wasn’t Qiao Junnan, it must have been the big shot she had just met. But their conversation was too flirtatious and intimate, and Qianqian appeared to be in love.

Is Qianqian... having an affair?

Lin Xiangwan had many questions, but did not wish to pry into others’ private affairs, even if it was a close friend!

Shen Hanqian noticed Lin Xiangwan’s hesitations and gave her a candid smile. "There’s no way for Qiao Junnan and me to mend things now, and I don’t want to either!"

"Oh..." Lin Xiangwan was at a loss for what to say!

With a forced smile, Shen Hanqian explained to her friend. "There’s no future between him... and the man I was just on the phone with... But I can’t deny that I enjoy his company. I anticipate seeing him every day and am always happy, even if I just receive a phone call from him. Even in my dreams, I smile! This must be what it feels like to be in love. It’s been a long time since I’ve felt loved, and I’m really enjoying it for now!"

Listening to Shen Hanqian, Lin Xiangwan was dumbstruck. "Oh..." Aside from ’oh’, she didn’t know what else to say.

Shen Hanqian burst into laughter again. "Look at you, so clueless! I can tell you’ve never been in love before!"

Not wanting to be outdone by Shen Hanqian’s eventful life, the modern woman in Lin Xiangwan resisted. "Who says I have never been in love? I dated Song Yichen before..."

Shen Hanqian rolled her eyes. "It was clearly you giving it your all, anyone can see that!"

"It wasn’t entirely one-sided, he was really good to me!" Even though she and Song Yichen had broken up now, she couldn’t deny that during their most difficult times, Song Yichen had worked tirelessly every day shifting sand at construction sites, earning money to support her.

Really, this was something she could never forget!

Just like his betrayal, his hurting her, equally unforgettable.

Shen Hanqian patted her hand. "Actually, I am really happy for you that you broke up with Song Yichen. Love isn’t about being touched, a relationship maintained out of being touched isn’t reliable at all!"

Wanwan probably doesn’t have much experience in love because she yearns for family love, treating all kinds of love as sacred. So it’s possible that she doesn’t know that Song Yichen taking care of her at that time may not have been out of love, but out of being touched by her.

Song Yichen’s gaze has always been revolving around that woman Ni Shanshan. Although Ni Shanshan is flirtatious, heartless, and a notorious green tea b*tch, some guys are just so cheap, no matter what, they still like her.

So, Lin Xiangwan naturally has no chance now.

"Hmm..." Lin Xiangwan nodded, pretending to understand, but in fact, she was still clueless!

.........

Qin Muchuan was at work when he received a phone call from a friend.

Xiao Qingyu asked, "I heard that you’re now battling with your children’s mother for custody?"

Qin Muchuan frowned. "You know about this too? I don’t remember telling you!"

"Of course. Such a cruel act, you naturally wouldn’t want to tell me about it, right?" Xiao Qingyu teased.

"I am the children’s father, I want to bring my children back, there’s nothing wrong with that!"

"There’s nothing wrong with that, but couldn’t you consider the children’s mother? Why do you have to take her children away?" Xiao Qingyu wasn’t sure if what he just said was right, but he was asked to intercede anyway.
