Alexis, who was troubled, noticed that the door to Qin Zhou’s office was ajar. She roamed her eyes and hit upon an idea. Immediately, she put on a saccharine smile and entered the room.“Mr. Qin!”She decided to butter him up sweetly upon stepping inside.Qin Zhou held Huanyu shares; therefore, those artistes and staff with lower ranks had to address him as ‘Mr. Qin’.He felt a headache coming on once he saw her and rolled his eyes lazily. “What?”She was about to speak when she spotted Yuna signing a contract with her head down. She was stunned and momentarily speechless.“… Huh? Yuna?! Why are you here, too?”“It’s none of your business! Care for yourself first!” He reminded her coldly.At his reminder, she remembered her purpose for being in his office and cooed, “Mr. Qin, you have to help me~”Her velvety voice triggered goosebumps on his skin instead.Don’t act coy if you don’t know how to.As soon as she opened her mouth, he only felt disgust and his flesh creep all over.“What
Qin Zhou left after bringing Yuna into the head producer’s office. “Have a seat. We are waiting for one more person.”He picked up the case file and started reading it after he had said that. There’s someone else, too?Who can it be?Am I not the only one signing a contract today?She sat in the chair and examined her surroundings. With everything neatly lined up along the shelf, the office interior appeared minimalist in design. There were a few photo frames hanging on the wall, which displayed the latest first-tier stars of Huanyu. Guy’s portrait was among this lineup. Many books and record albums were on the bookshelf. In front of the sofa was a low-square table with a high-class teapot set on it. A knock was heard on the door.She looked over quizzically and saw June walked in. Seeing her, Yuna smiled in acknowledgement and June nodded in return. She closed the door and took a seat beside her. “Producer Lane.” Lane lifted his wristwatch and took a look before he coolly com
Three days ago, Yuna secretly signed a contract and was brought to a facility. She was caged in a room, locked away from the outside. Fifty million dollars. An astronomical sum! She was forbidden from outside contact. She knew that in order to prepare her for pregnancy, they needed to ensure her health, so that her body would be better suited to carry the baby.Yuna was entitled to three exquisite meals a day. Ham, bacon, bread, beef – everything was almost too extravagant. She knew that those foods were beneficial to people preparing for pregnancy, she only swallowed them down.Yuna dared not disobey any orders, as absolute obedience was one of the conditions stated in the contract.Thus, even today, she faithfully followed her employer’s secretary and anxiously came to this private institute to undergo medical examinations.This employer of hers was very mysterious; she had not seen him even once. She only knew of the contract, and that signing it would entitle her to a remunerat
His near violent moves made Yuna stiffen. She dared not move recklessly.Her heart beat thunderously in her chest. It was as if her heartbeats were forcing themselves out from her throat.Shame, panic, fear… With all these emotions weighing on her, she could hardly breathe.It was in that moment that she started to regret her decision.She initially thought that she could do it. It was just bearing a child for him, after all. She might have no experience, but, as a woman, this was something she would come across sooner or later. However, facing this unknown yet domineering man, she lost all the courage she had at the start. Right now, she only felt utter fear!She had just become an adult and had not experienced any form of intimacy yet. She had never even held a boy’s hand in her entire life. Naturally, her heart was unwilling. Still, she was unable to resist his invasion. Under his provocation, she slowly opened up like the flower buds under the morning sun.He lowered his head and,
Bang!Hearing the cold sound of the door closing, she hugged her shoulders and felt the frightening bruises on her wrists. Her eyes were swollen, but she dared not let out even the tiniest cry, even if it was just a whimper.Soon after, she heard the sound of a car engine starting up coming from outside.The vehicle drove into the distance, further and further away, until the sound of the engine subsided. Realizing his departure, she could no longer endure it. She immediately shut her eyes and sobbed her heart out.In this unfamiliar seaside villa, she gave the pure her up completely to an unknown male.Before, she wondered on why he would choose her. After giving it some thought, she concluded that it was because of her identity as a commoner that would be unable to fight for the child’s custody rights in the future.She did not know if this was right and how long she should hide this from her father. Her family’s situation had driven her into a corner and she was at her wits’ end, b
In fact, Chang Shire’s family was originally well-off. He had a property on the market that generated stable profits, so they were considered to be living in wealth. However, at the start of the year, a financial storm suddenly swept across the globe, which left his entire family in shambles. The company was operating under a constant loss. Many shareholders had had their investments retracted. Seeing that the company was about to go bankrupt, his wife pointed her finger at Yuna and blamed her for it. This was because, just the year before, he willingly spent the money originally set aside for investments to send her to a prestigious dormitory-based high school to study, to be away from this trifling home.In his wife’s opinion, if it had not been for this particular move of his back then, the company would not have been affected by the economic crisis and the Shire family would not have fallen to such a state.This matter caused many heated arguments in the household. When Yuna went
This charming and lovely young boy looked just like a little fairy. However, right now, the little fairy had a serious look on his face, seemingly possessing the maturity of an adult.“150 dollars… too expensive…” The youthful voice had a grave tone which was somewhat inconsistent with his age. He was like an old man; the way he furrowed his brows, as he started counting with his fingers. He then sighed in distress and his shoulders drooped, as though he was in a world of darkness.Yuna helplessly chuckled at his dejected demeanor, yet her heart was slightly bitter. She pursed her lips and reached out her hand to tap his shoulder. The little boy, shocked, twisted around. Realizing that it was her, his face turned a strange shade of red. “Mommy….”“Mommy looked for you for so long! Didn’t mommy ask you to follow me obediently and not to run around?”Yuna pretended to be mad, and the little boy clearly felt more guilt. His small hand carefully latched on to her neck. With his lashes sli
When Youyou was born, she had to breastfeed him, and this coincided with her studies. It was the toughest period of her life. She could not even sit through confinement properly. As she was accepted into a prestigious university, her workload was heavy. Whenever she was free, she had to catch up with overdue work. On a normal day, she had her part-time job while she took care of Youyou. Her body was on the verge of collapsing.After graduating from university, she managed to land herself a high-paying job, hence the family’s financial situation improved. With her adoptive mother and sister staying at home while she was out working, she was afraid of Youyou being treated in the same way as her by them.Back then, when she first brought Youyou home, Nasi apathetically sneered at her. She was unable to forget her calling Youyou a ‘little b*stard’ even till now. Therefore, as soon as she got herself a job, she left the house with Youyou and rented an apartment for the both of them.When s
