"Beibei, I implore you, I'm only buying one egg from you, it won't affect you in any way, I really need a child!"
"But if it's my egg, wouldn't the child be mine?"
"Of course not! Even though it's your egg, it would be implanted into my body, and nurtured within my womb, so naturally the child would be mine."
"No, it's not like that. Being nurtured in your womb, the child would still be mine, connected to me by blood, not you... I'm sorry, I really can't accept this. I apologize, Sister Bai, you should find someone else."
...
"Uh..."
In her dream, Ye Xingbei's brows knitted anxiously. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes.
Strange.
She dreamt about this stuff again.
She hadn't thought about it in a long time while awake.
After all, she initially did not agree to Bai Mengluan's request to buy her egg.
She rubbed her forehead, turned over, and went back to sleep.
"Beibei, trust me, the baby is really yours! I am getting married soon and I can't let my fiancé know I had a child. Take him with you, he is your child, I have nothing to do with him!"
"No, Sister Bai, you made a mistake, this is not my child. Initially, I rejected you and didn't give you my egg."
…
"Ye Xingbei, how shameless you are! You're mingling with men at such a young age, and even gave birth to a bastard. We, the Jiang Family, do not accept such a daughter. Get out!"
Such messy situations were dumped down on her.
"No, I didn't... I didn't..."
In her dream, Ye Xingbei kept shaking her head, with beads of sweat on her forehead.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane is about to land, please return to your designated seats..."
The sweet voice of the flight attendant echoed around her.
Ye Xingbei sat up suddenly, wiping sweat from her forehead.
The fickle Bai Mengluan... the wrongly assigned baby... The Jiang Family who drove her away without listening to her explanations.
She exhaled lightly, looking out of the window.
Jiang City.
After a long period of five years... she had returned.
*
Twenty minutes later, Ye Xingbei left the airport.
She wore large sunglasses that covered almost half of her petite face.
She wears a white blouse, black shorts, and a beige long trench coat, exposing her straight, white long legs.
Regardless of her appearance or dress, everyone waiting at the airport was attracted by her.
Especially, there were three tall and handsome men in suits following behind her, one pushing the luggage cart and two escorting on either side.
After not meeting for five years, Jiang Siyou recognized Ye Xingbei in just one glance.
Seeing all the attention on Ye Xingbei, Jiang Siyou felt a bitter tinge in her heart as if she was showered with a bucket of sulphuric acid with jealousy burning her organs.
Five years after their last meeting, Ye Xingbei had become even more beautiful. Even with the most critical gaze, she couldn't find a single flaw, easily overshadowing the already pretty Jiang Siyou.
But, so what?
Jiang Siyou bit her lip, thinking resentfully that no matter how beautiful Ye Xingbei might be, she can't escape the inevitable fate of soon becoming a widow!
Moreover, the man Ye Xingbei was going to marry was the future head of the Gu Family.
If married to another man, after her husband's death, she could remarry.
But if married into the Gu Family, once her husband died, she would have to endure the life of a widow forever!
Thinking about the future scenario where she will see Ye Xingbei as a grieving widow for the rest of her life, the resentment in Jiang Siyou's heart eased, a smirk appeared on her lips as she stopped Ye Xingbei, "Beibei, you're back? I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Hearing someone call her by nickname, Ye Xingbei stopped and turned around.
Was that... Jiang Siyou?
After not seeing each other for five years, Jiang Siyou hadn't changed much, still wearing her signature curly wavy hair, and the classical oval face. She still had a sweet yet insincere smile.
Ye Xingbei stared at Jiang Siyou for a moment, walking towards her, she asked, "Why are you here?"
Jiang Siyou was very displeased with Ye Xingbei's straightforward tone.
However, even if she was going to become a widow, she would still be a widow in the Gu Family, and she wouldn't dare to offend her.
So, she put on an even more radiant smile, "Beibei, knowing that you are coming home today, mom and dad especially asked me to pick you up. We should get on the car now, so we won't miss the last chance to see grandpa."
Ye Xingbei was forcibly dragged into the car by Jiang Siyou.
The car was filled with a delicate fragrance.
It was strange, Ye Xingbei had slept all the way on the plane and just a while on the car, yet she felt drowsy and fell asleep.
When she woke up, she found herself sleeping in a strange bed, with a stranger beside her.
The sleepiness in Ye Xingbei was instantly gone. She abruptly sat up, gazing with wide eyes at the man lying beside her, believing she was dreaming.
The man seemed to have felt her gaze, he opened his eyes.
Even though he just woke up, the sharpness in his eyes was as piercing as a sword, making it impossible to look straight at him.
"Who are you?" He sat up sharply, asking coldly.
Ye Xingbei pinched herself hard.
Ouch!
She wasn't dreaming!
Thinking about what happened before she lost consciousness, she trembled with anger.
She was schemed by Jiang Siyou!
Her purity that she maintained for 21 years was ruined!
Jiang Siyou, she would never let her go easy!
Ye Xingbei was angry at Jiang Siyou's treachery, seething at her own stupidity, trembling with rage, unable to speak.
"Answer my question!" Seeing her silent, the man suddenly grabbed her chin, his gaze became colder, "Woman, speak. Who are you, and who sent you here?"
"Let me go!" Ye Xingbei forcefully pushed his hand away and questioned angrily, "I should ask you, who are you? Who sent you here? Why... why…"
The man studied her, squinting his eyes.
He had to acknowledge that the woman in front of him was extraordinarily beautiful.
Many people had tried to please him with beautiful women, but none were as exquisite as the girl before him.
It must be said that in this world a lot of things come down to looks. If you're good looking, you're more likely to be forgiven.
And, it seemed that he might know who she was.
