My heart felt like it was suddenly pulled into a thick fog, and I lost my way in an instant. I couldn't even feel joy at first, and I was more at a loss.

That day, when Su Beicheng and I said goodbye at the airport in a hurry, I thought that was the end of our relationship. But how long after that, he suddenly extended an olive branch to me in the United States?

His operation is so confusing.

This time, he even intended to involve Zhou Minghe and his company. A huge amount of wealth would fall from the sky. Stupid people would not be able to react, and dumb people might not be able to understand it. But Zhou Minghe was a descendant of businessmen, and his sense of wealth and interests was sharper than that of ordinary people. He had even set his chess pieces and the game in the domestic market a long time ago. He would not give up this opportunity.

I was sitting in my office chair when suddenly, my lower abdomen seemed to be hit hard. It was fetal movement.

I was surprised and happy. I reached out and gently stroked my lower abdomen. The gentle impact came again, like a small fish turning over in a shallow pool.

The fetal movement made me happy, but the sudden news made me uneasy.

Zhou Minghe came back from Shao Yanye's place. As soon as he came out of the corridor, he kept staring at me.

Because I was confused, I couldn't help but keep my gaze fixed on his until Zhou Minghe sat next to me again. He pulled a chair and just looked at me quietly.

"Do you know that staring at others like this is very rude? If you have something to say, just say it directly." I leaned back and spoke lightly.

Zhou Minghe seemed to be in a state of mixed emotions. He wanted to say something, but couldn't think straight. He just leaned back, imitating me. Finally, he said gloomily, "This sudden wealth seems to be filled with conspiracy. I've talked to Shao Yanye about it, and he said the decision is up to me. But I want to ask you something."

"What?" I was in disbelief. Suddenly, I felt like my brick had finally been put to good use. "What do you mean by that? I don't quite understand."

Zhou Minghe suddenly laughed sarcastically: "Su Beicheng is getting married, but he chose this time to get you to return home in this way. Tell me...what on earth does he want to do?"

My heart skipped a beat when I thought of what Li Ruowei had said in a low voice that day, saying that she suspected Su Beicheng and that woman had an arranged marriage.

The meaning of marriage by agreement is very broad. Some people agree on the division of property, some get married in name only for some purpose, and some even use a certificate to delay time just to please their elders.

My eyes froze instantly and I lowered them, not daring to look into Zhou Minghe's deep eyes.

"Does he still want to take you back to China? He's still unwilling to give up." Zhou Minghe curled his lips: "I really can't tell, he's so loyal."

"Don't talk nonsense. He is about to get married. How could he still be involved with me? Have you forgotten his identity? His identity limits him in many things." I answered him seriously.

In my previous life, my marriage was destroyed by a third party. I swore that I would never touch a married man again, no matter how much I loved him.

No matter what purpose Su Beicheng had in marrying that woman, I would never continue to be entangled with him.

Zhou Minghe smiled lazily: "His status is indeed limited, but you may not understand the charm of power. As long as he wants, he can do it. Right now, it depends on whether he has that kind of idea about you."

"Zhou Minghe, if I go back to China, I'll be dead." I bit my lip, not daring to risk my future.

Zhou Minghe's expression froze, as if the word death frightened him.

"Don't talk nonsense. I won't let anything happen to you." Zhou Minghe lowered his voice and said, "I will carefully consider this matter. Don't worry, I want to find out if this is a trap set by Su Beicheng. If so, I don't want to use you as a bait."

I looked at him in astonishment. I don’t know why, but after hearing Zhou Minghe’s last words, his eyes became much clearer.

"Thank you." I was grateful that he would give it serious consideration, but from his perspective, he shouldn't have passed up this opportunity. "If you really want to return to China and take over that land, then do what you think is right. I support you."

Zhou Minghe didn't expect me to say this. He looked at me blankly for a long time, reached out and touched my hair, said nothing, and went back to his office.

As it got dark and summer approached, I wore less and less clothes and my belly became more and more obvious.

My belly is pointed and you can't tell I'm pregnant from the back. This may be related to the fact that I have always maintained my weight and didn't gain weight all of a sudden.

Ji Mu suddenly said that he wanted to treat me to a meal, saying that he was going to return to China after completing his studies. Before leaving, he asked me if I could meet him.

Of course I am willing. Dr. Ji is like my confidant. Chatting with him makes me relax.

So, I took a taxi at noon and came to the restaurant that Ji Mu had booked.

The floor is high and the living room is very spacious and bright. This place is very upscale. Outside the window is the famous Central Park.

Ji Mu wore a suit, looking formal and elegant. I wore a black long skirt, which was simple and elegant.

"I didn't expect your belly to be so big." When Ji Mu saw me, he couldn't help but sigh. I couldn't tell the last time I saw you.

I couldn't help but laugh, "Pregnancy changes every day. I hope it doesn't get too big."

"Well, you really should control your weight. I'm afraid the labor for your first child will be longer and you'll suffer more." When Ji Mu said this, the look in his eyes made me feel distressed.

I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but even when Ji Mu cares about others, his tone is always indifferent.

"Please sit down and order whatever you want to eat." Ji Mu pulled out the chair for me like a gentleman and asked me to sit down.

I looked through the menu and ordered some simple food, but Ji Mu felt it was not enough and ordered a lot more.

"Looking down from here, the scenery is so beautiful." I couldn't help but admire.

"Yeah, the scenery is nice." Ji Mu also looked outside.

I got back to the point, looked at him and said, "Will you come here again in the future? Or is this study session over?"

"Maybe I will come, maybe not. Of course, if I'm on vacation, I can come here for a trip." Ji Mu smiled and replied, "I also have real estate here, so I can come and live here in the future."

Hearing this, I was truly envious: "Dr. Ji is so young and promising."

Ji Mu smiled and said, "Actually, besides being a doctor, I've also sold several patents and earned quite a bit of money. I also get a lot of dividends from my family's equity every year. The money is enough for me at the moment."

After hearing this, I realized that some people come from excellent families and work hard themselves. They are the kings.

"Well, I should learn from you, improve my abilities, and create my own wealth." I chuckled.

Ji Mu's eyes flickered at my face, and he smiled as well: "Ms. Yin, has anyone ever told you that you have a very special temperament?"

My smile froze and I looked at him with interest: "What do you mean?"

Ji Mu took a sip of the red wine and then said, "You are like a lake, giving people a very peaceful feeling. Being with you makes people feel relaxed. You are also beautiful, and your every frown and smile is very pleasing to the eye. Oh, and you are like a lady who has traveled back from ancient times, not frivolous or coquettish, but with a tenacious vitality."

Listening to Ji Mu's evaluation of me, I finally couldn't help laughing. "Doctor Ji, you're being too kind. Maybe it's because I don't have the capital to be willful. I also know how to cater to other people's needs. If I don't like what others do, then I try not to do it in front of others. That's all."

"Well, you obey while reflecting on yourself." Ji Mu concluded: "So, everyone who sees you feels that you are a good match."

I blushed at this: "Doctor Ji, you've been talking a lot today. I feel like you're a quiet person."

"Is that so?" A hint of discomfort flashed across Ji Mu's handsome face.

Just as I was about to answer him, Li Ruowei's surprised voice suddenly came from the corridor next to me: "Jingjing, why are you here?"
