Xiaoqi, who had been sullenly sitting on the chair, had to sadly answer. "Xiangwan, the first-born child died shortly after birth!"
"Impossible!" Lin Xiangwan sobbed heartbreakingly, not believing it, gripping her classmate tightly. "Xiaoqi, my child was healthy when he was born, crying loudly; he couldn't have died, you're lying to me, aren't you?"
Xiaoqi was also upset. "But it's the truth. The child hasn't been taken away yet, you can go and see! But, Wanwan, you have another child, you have to be strong; you just can't grieve too much, okay?"
Lin Xiangwan ignored her own feelings and held Xiaoqi tightly. "Let me see my child, I need to see him!"
With the support of the nurse, Lin Xiangwan saw a motionless little baby. His body was already stiff and cold when she picked him up in her heartbroken state...
Tears fell one by one, dropping onto the child's small face. "Baby, baby... you must be well, you must be..."
......
Six years later -
Night fell heavily, darkness completely enveloping Jiangcheng City!
However, the night was lively, as all the hotels in the city were booked out.
As a hotel manager, Lin Xiangwan was busy like a whirlwind, having nothing to do with any romantic atmosphere of February 14th, Valentine's Day.
Director Zhao, who was dining in the Narcissus Hall, needed to be greeted, Bureau Chief Wang who was drinking in the Peony Hall also needed to be entertained, as well as Mr. Li and Mr. Jiang who were regular customers here... all of them were indispensable. In the end, the only one suffering was her stomach.
As soon as she vomited the three glasses of white wine she had choked down in the bathroom, Song Yichen came over and handed her a few clean paper towels and a bottle of mineral water.
Feeling guilty, he said, "Sorry for making you suffer! It's completely my fault!"
Despite the turmoil in her stomach and a splitting headache, Lin Xiangwan took the paper towel, drank some water, and forced herself to smile. "Are you underestimating me? Drinking is no big deal to me, didn't you know my tolerance?"
Song Yichen's eyebrows were still furrowed, filled with guilt and regret for Lin Xiangwan. "If it wasn't for the fact that my business needed these bosses' subscriptions, if I didn't need to flatter them, you wouldn't have to suffer like this! Wanwan, when I'm powerful enough, I'll definitely let you enjoy a good life with me!"
Song Yichen gently held Lin Xiangwan, swearing.
No more sweet words were needed. Lin Xiangwan, leaning on his shoulder, was very comforted and very happy, all her efforts and sacrifices were worth it. "Actually, I think it's great now, really! Having to socialize is an unavoidable part of any job, and you already protect me so well, they can't take advantage of me!"
Song Yichen curled his lips. "Of course, you're my wife, how could I allow anyone else to benefit from you! I would be unhappy!"
When this was mentioned, Lin Xiangwan evaded awkwardly. "Yichen, I think... we should just be siblings, I think that would be better!!"
Song Yichen asked unhappily. "But you're not my sister, how can we be siblings?"
"But I was… I was... I have Haoran; I really can't marry you…" It was hard for Lin Xiangwan to say this out loud.
"You were also a victim in that incident, and it was because of my disease, I should be even more responsible for taking care of you! What's more, Haoran is very kind and very cute; I like him a lot!" Song Yichen sympathetically said, then he dominantly lifted her jaw up. "Forget about that incident, when I become the largest shareholder of the Sheraton, we will marry."
Faced with such intimate feelings, Lin Xiangwan felt heavy, wanting to accept but unable to do so accomplishingly.
She could only respond with a gentle smile. "Let's talk about that later!"
Song Yichen nodded his head, as if conjuring a magic trick, he took out a bunch of imported long-stemmed red roses from behind his back. "Happy Valentine's Day!"
Lin Xiangwan took the flowers, overwhelmed with surprise. "Thank you!"
"After one more social obligation, let's go for a late-night meal together!"
"In the office?" As soon as eating was mentioned, Lin Xiangwan really felt hungry. The hotel's business was really booming today; there were absolutely no vacant rooms!
Song Yichen pinched her cute nose, whispering contentedly. "I told the Guest Room Department ten days in advance to reserve a suite for me!"
"Really? That's great!" Lin Xiangwan's eyes lit up, instantly overwhelmed with joy at the thought of a comfortable big bed.
She had thought she would have to make do with a foldout bed for the night!
"Hehe, I knew you would be very happy!" Song Yichen was even happier than her, his eyes filled with indulgence.
Song Yichen put the room card in her hand. "You go first, I'll be there in about an hour!!"
Lin Xiangwan took the room card without suspicion and left. Her mood was joyous, but her steps became heavy as soon as she stepped out of the office.
That year, she, with her child, had no face to return to Song Family, so she rented a small house to take care of the child. Fortunately, the rich lady had previously given her some red envelopes, which allowed her to maintain their days, without letting them starve or wear badly.
Later, when she wanted to go out to work to earn money, Song Yichen found her and insisted on bringing the mother and son back to his side.
At that time, under no conditions could she say that she bore a child from someone else for his sake, so she lied that she was assaulted during her work period, and when she found out she was pregnant it was already four months in, there was no way to abort, so she could only give birth.
All these years, she had not told him the truth.
...
After Lin Xiangwan left, Song Yichen's expression instantly changed, dark and furious!
'Click' - the office door was once again opened.
A gorgeously dressed woman who emitted the aura of Miss Coco walked towards him, embracing him from behind. "Yichen, did you call me here just to see you two being intimate?"
Song Yichen turned around and held the woman tightly in his arms.
"What do you think, what did I ask you to come for?"
"Hehe... bastard!"
Song Yichen. "Am I bad? Hehe, you just love my bad side, don't you!"
