Chapter 300: Chapter 298: Carrying Someone Else’s Child
Qin Mo’s face gradually paled.
She wouldn’t lie to herself, which means she cheated on him behind his back.
She’s pregnant with someone else’s child!
She can never come back, the situation was irreversible.
He staggered to his feet from his seat, even forgetting to take his coat, drove himself out of the hotel, and returned to the Western District’s Changning Lane.
After another sleepless night, Qin Mo went into the bathroom to wash up.
However, looking in the mirror, he froze.
Despite not having slept all night, he looked more refreshed than ever before, the dark circles under his eyes were gone, and even his hair shimmered with a healthy luster.
Looking at himself in the mirror, Qin Mo pondered, what happened?
It didn’t seem much different from usual, working all night… The only difference was that he had seen Sally and eaten the fish and juice she gave him.
Her work starts at 8:30, and it was not even 6 o’clock yet!
…
ZH Grand Hotel.
Sally had put on her long-forgotten professional attire, but no matter how she looked at it, it felt awkward.
[Xiaomei, what do you think?]
[I suggest wearing maternity clothes.]
[Right, I already told him I was pregnant; it doesn’t matter if it’s apparent. Plus, maternity dresses are more comfortable. Let’s head to the mall later and buy a few more.]
Over the years, she had mostly worn maternity dresses, and now she had grown fond of them.
A gray-pink checkered maternity dress with puff sleeves that reached her ankles and a pair of pale gold flats. Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail with a rainbow-colored elastic and curled into waves at the ends, playful yet alluring.
Her skin was pale, delicate, and flawless, her features perfectly exquisite with no bad angles to be seen.
Lastly, she slung a carrot-shaped plush bag over her shoulder, cute and eye-catching.
[Hmm, the maternity dress does look better; Xiaomei has good taste.]
[The host with black hair is also very beautiful.]
For Sally, the super VIP guest, the hotel provided first-class service inside and out.
At the hotel entrance, there was already a multimillion-dollar luxury car parked with a top-tier driver ready to take Sally wherever she wanted to go.
“Miss Su, where to?”
“Thirteen Tombs, to the Dingling Mausoleum.”
Her mother was buried there.
Sally placed a bouquet of white carnations in front of the tombstone.
It read: In memory of the loving mother Su Wenhui, respectfully erected by her daughter Sally.
If only she could have come back ten years earlier.
She would have been able to keep her mother company, to take care of her mother…
Zhang Lin, your original wish to return to Earth was almost fulfilled, I hope you can achieve it.
…
Sally’s phone rang.
It was a call from Qin Mo’s assistant, Xiao Lin.
Checking the time, it was already past 8:30.
She answered the phone with a laugh, “Sorry, sorry, I’m on my way to work now.”
Xiao Lin: “The boss is in a very bad mood today. You’d better hurry.”
In private, they all referred to Qin Mo as the boss.
Because a portion of their salaries was a subsidy given privately by Qin Mo, and this subsidy was ten times their salary.
“Got it,” Sally hung up the phone.
She told the driver to go.
But she was in no hurry whatsoever.
In fact, she even had the driver stop the car halfway through the trip.
“I’m going to take a look around, wait for me.”
“Certainly, Miss Su.”
The driver got out and opened the car door for Sally.
Sally entered a store that sold games.
Displayed on the store’s promotional poster was a game that had just been released recently.
Its name was “The Lost Frontier.”
The game’s setting was a few thousand years after a war between gods and demons. The human world’s frontier was once again under attack by monsters, and to reclaim the border, humans and monsters engaged in battle…
The main thrust of the game was to fight monsters, upgrade, and expand the frontier world. Besides that, there were many other hidden and visible side story quests.
Seeing Sally looking at the game promotional poster, a sales clerk approached her, “Do you like this game, miss?”
“Oh, this game seems to be very popular.” Sally remembered that this game had set a world record with over three hundred million concurrent players globally. But at that time, she’d been solely focused on Qin Mo and had neglected many things.
“Yes. This game was developed by our country’s most formidable gaming software developer. They’re a supergiant that is first in both hardware and network services—TEN Company.
The game’s graphics and plot are top-notch without a dull moment…ahem, in short, it’s a fantastic game both in beauty and substance.
Just twenty days since its release, it’s about to break twenty million concurrent players.
In another two months, it will be summer holidays, and the servers will definitely be packed, brimming with players. Now is the perfect time to hunt for equipment and level up as an advanced player.”
“Right! I’ll take this game. And get me one of those gaming helmets as well.”
“Of course, we have a limited-edition helmet specially tailored for ‘The Lost Frontier’ by TEN Company…”
The clerk enthusiastically introduced the product to Sally, figuring that even if such a beautiful woman ended up buying nothing, his negative work energy for the day would still be completely cured.
[Xiaomei, do you want to play a game?]
[What game?]
[A virtual game developed by VR stealth technology that completely blocks out reality.]
[Oh, Xiaomei can develop one for the host.]
[…]
…
After wandering around and doing some shopping, Sally finally arrived at the Power Authority Building during lunchtime, holding a bag of food.
Dressed as a pregnant woman, she indeed caused those who knew of her relationship with Qin Mo to stare agape!
“Did you see that? Maternity wear! She must be pregnant!”
“Definitely! She’s climbing the ranks now!”
“Her mind is indeed vicious…”
“Impressive, impressive. Truly worthy of being a descendant of Su Daji.”
“Question is whether she can be made legitimate or not, being a kept woman doesn’t count for much.”
“Money talks, who doesn’t know that our dear Qin head is only in the loop to cultivate relationships. The real power is the Qin Consortium.”
“Look how sour you all sound—if you had Miss Sally’s face, you’d be more fierce in climbing up than her.”
Putting away the System Map, Sally had heard these comments so much in the past that her ears had calloused, and they were still the same old tune.
The elevator stopped on the seventh floor.
When Sally stepped out of the elevator, she saw Xiao Lin approaching quickly.
But upon seeing her, he stopped short and exclaimed, “You’re finally here!”
Sally looked at him and smiled, “What, did the boss nearly starve?”
Xiao Lin, Qin Mo’s confidant. He knew the most about her and Qin Mo’s affairs and had helped her many times.
Seeing her carrying a bag of food, Xiao Lin glanced at his watch. “Work starts at eight-thirty, and it’s eleven-thirty now. You really take your time. Get it inside quickly.”
“This coffee is for you,” Sally said, handing over the food bag containing coffee and dessert to Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin’s face lit up with joy. “Not in vain did I cover for you.”
Sally entered the office.
Qin Mo was on a video call, but he immediately hung up when he saw her.
“Absent for half the day, delay by one day.”
“Pfft—just say you don’t want me to resign.” Sally put the food bag on the coffee table and then began tidying up the blankets on the sofa and the scattered files.
The maternity dress on her was particularly glaring to Qin Mo.
“During work hours, you must wear work attire.”
“Got it.”
But she wasn’t going to change!
