Chapter 54: I’ve Been Waiting for You

Rong Six almost jerks up from the bar chair once he hears what Chu Mochen says: “No way, she is just 18 years old! Is it not a threat that you ask an 18 years old girl to bear you a baby?

Chu Mochen disagrees: “Gu Changge is pregnant with her first child at the age of 20, only two years older than her.”

Rong Six says in surprise, “How many wealthy ladies in Yuncheng can be compared with Gu Changge? She is a famous vixen! Would she get married if she weren’t pregnant?

Towards Gu Changge, Rong Six has no affection but awe. After all, she used to be an overly legendary woman of Yuncheng.

Chu Mochen takes a glance at him and continues to drink: “I did not force her. She could refuse it if she wanted.”

Rong Six feels that Chu Mochen is sinister: “Since you’re drinking happily here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping in bed, you must be sure that she will agree, are you?”

On hearing his words, Chu Mochen turns his head and looks at his face: “Rong Six, your father can feel relieved to hand the family business over to you.”

Rong Six leans back, “I’m still young. The adults’ world is too complicated for me. I’d prefer to spend another two easy years getting ready for it.”

Rong Six is the only son of the Rong family. No matter when the old man devolves power, there is no doubt that Rong Six is his only option.

Rong Six doesn’t need to fight for the throne at all. In this case, he prefers to stay idle for a few years until Rong’s master really intends to abdicate himself.

Chu Mochen looks at his leisure appearance and lightly reminds him: “Although Gu Changge is a girl, she became the CEO of the Gu’s at an age that is younger than you now.”

Rong Six instantly feels humiliated, losing his face.

However, that is a fact.

Gu Changge did reach that position when she was sixteen years old.

And her diplomacy was so cruel and sophisticated that she didn’t look like a sixteen-year-old girl at all.

Thinking of Gu Changge, Rong Six feels that there is something suspicious: “Do you think Song Yunxuan won’t get married if she’s not pregnant?”

Chu Mochen pauses with his fingers holding the glass, then turns his head up and takes a shot: “Probably.”

Song Yunxuan is about the same with Gu Changge.

However, Gu Changge had been fussed over since her childhood. She knew very early on that if she wanted to stand at the peak of Gu’s and overlook the crowd, she must stay strong and cool.

But Song Yunxuan knows from the very beginning that she is at the bottom, and that she has to stoop low in order to raise her status step by step.

Compared with Gu Changge, Song Yunxuan’s journey will be tougher.

…

Gu Changge stays at home for three days.

In the afternoon of the fourth day, Song Yunqiang knocks at her door and asks her, “Do you have an appointment tonight?”

Song Yunxuan shakes her head. “No, brother, what’s the matter?”

Listening to his father’s advice, Song Yunqiang has sent someone to watch Song Yunxuan. But, since the day of nurse Wang’s accident, Song Yunxuan hasn’t gone out as of today.

He feels it a little strange. Not until Chu Mochen called him in the evening and asked him if Song Yunxuan was at home did he tentatively guessed: “Has Yunxuan quarreled with you?”

“A little.”

Song Yunqiang suddenly figured out why Chu Mochen did not call Song Yunxuan directly, but made a telephone call to the Song family.

He estimates that Song Yunxuan has been sulking at home over the last three days without answering any phone call or going out.

Now that he has answered a phone call from Chu Mochen, he knocks on her door and tells her as calmly as possible: “Childe Chu asks you out for dinner tonight. Please peacefully talk with him if you have any misunderstanding about each other, okay?”

Song Yunxuan hesitates before nodding thoughtfully.

Song Yunqiang sighs and then leaves.

At around 5:30 p.m., Chu Mochen arrives at her place by his car.

Song Yunqiang calls Song Yunxuan downstairs and stuffs his slow-moving sister into Chu Mochen’s car. Only then does he see them leave with a smile on his face.

Song Yunxuan remains silent after boarding the car.

Looking at the road condition ahead, Chu Mochen reminds her, “It’s cold these days. When you go out, remember to wear warm clothes.”

Song Yunxuan looks sideways at him and says, “I’m not going out.”

She always stayed at the Song family all these days. How could she catch a cold due to the chilly wind outside?

Chu Mochen drives beyond the second ring road. And finally he parks the car outside a famous French restaurant.

When Song Yunxuan gets out of the car, she finds many men and women dressed in luxurious and exquisite clothes at the entrance of the restaurant.

She knows a few of them.

Shao Li, a scandal-ridden star of the first-line. And Pei Shi, the chairman of the Pei family.

Lin Hua, a young model who hasn’t reached the age of 20. And Wang Siyuan, a playboy from a powerful family.

And…

Her brother-in-law, Xue Tao
