The moment he saw that name, Li Hanxian fell silent, his face displaying a rich tapestry of emotions, with Rong Shengsheng's pockmarked face flooding his mind. Just the thought of having kissed her made him feel nauseous, nearly causing him to vomit.
No.....
How could it be her??
All of a sudden, he didn't dare continue his search.
If it really was Rong Shengsheng....
Enraged, he stormed out of the Charm of the Night, quickly getting into his car.
Yu Jinqing, seeing this, was extremely puzzled and hurried after him, asking curiously, "President Li, do you know this Rong Shengsheng??"
Li Hanxian rubbed his brow irritably, squeezing a few words out between clenched teeth: "It can't be her!"
"Why can't it be? The phone number is right there, could it be fake?"
Li Hanxian's gaze grew sharper, and with a chilling sweep, he snapped, "Shut up! Stop talking about this matter!"
Yu Jinqing jumped at his reaction, scratching his head. What's gotten into President Li?? Why is he acting so out of character?
Who in the world is this Rong Shengsheng??
Rong Shengsheng, who had rushed home in a hurry, closed the door behind her, panting heavily. She was still frightened by the evening's events, her heart still racing and unable to calm down.
She had slapped Li Hanxian the day before yesterday, and tonight she had kicked him in the vitals...
She feared... her end was near.
She could only hope he wouldn't find her.
"Mommy!!"
Two adorable little treasures peeped out from behind the bedroom door with their round heads, blinking their big watery eyes—almost cuteness overload.
Rong Shengsheng snapped back to reality, "Miaomiao! Qinqin! Haven't you gone to bed yet? Did Mommy wake you?"
"No!" Miaomiao and Qinqin, like little penguins, waddled over and threw themselves into Rong Shengsheng's arms.
Miaomiao, with her babyish voice, said: "Brother and I think Mommy is working too hard, so we've been discussing finding a daddy for ourselves so that daddy can take care of Mommy and us."
"What? You want to choose a daddy for yourselves?"
"Mmm-hmm!!" Miaomiao happily pulled out a phone, flipped through some pictures, and with a beaming smile showing her pearly whites said, "We found some of the richest people on the internet. Look, Mommy, this is the world's richest man, let's have him be our daddy!"
Rong Shengsheng took a closer look and wasn't it Li Hanxian??
The photo showed Li Hanxian in a suit and tie, his visage stern and profound, especially his eyes—sharp and fierce like an eagle's.
This reminded her of everything she endured at the nightclub, causing her to shiver involuntarily and she quickly shook her head, "Miaomiao, Qinqin, it's getting late, hurry up and go to sleep, you have to go to kindergarten tomorrow morning."
"Mommy, can we have him be our daddy, please?"
The world of children is so innocent.
A twitch crossed Rong Shengsheng's lips; Li Hanxian was the Beijing Emperor, who could turn skies and seas with his power, rich enough to rival nations, and was the heir to a century-old powerful family.
She would indeed wish for her children's father to be him, for then they wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives, and she wouldn't have to struggle through life alone.
But how could that be possible?
How could Li Hanxian possibly agree to be the father of her children??
It would be a godsend if he didn't kill her!!
"Miaomiao, Qinqin, haven't I told you before? Daddy is already dead. If you want someone else to be your daddy, daddy will hear about it in heaven and be very sad."
Upon hearing this, Miaomiao and Qinqin wore a look of deep disappointment, their faces the picture of dejection.
Miaomiao even started to sob, "I don't want to make daddy sad, I don't want Mommy to suffer....."
"Wuwuwu....."
Rong Shengsheng's heart ached terribly as she hugged her sensible children, her eyes beginning to moisten.
All night long, Rong Shengsheng tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
The children were still young, naturally longing for fatherly love.
While she was still young, should she find someone else?
But whom?
Who would accept her, a single mother?
Left with no choice, she pulled out her phone and reached out to her longtime friend Qin Lingling: "Lingzi, I can't cope alone. Help me find someone."
Back then, she had fallen into the sea, and it was the Qin Family who had saved her and cared for her during childbirth.
Before, she had lived with the Qin Family.
The next day, as usual, she dressed in the company's cleaning staff uniform and went about her cleaning duties, occasionally glancing towards the president's elevator, fearing that Li Hanxian might suddenly appear in front of her.
Perhaps because of a guilty conscience, she was very vigilant no matter who came around.
Zhou Kuan came over, smiled, and said, "Shengsheng, this floor is very clean; go and tidy up the president's office."
"Me?" Rong Shengsheng shivered, "Could someone else do it? I still have to take out the trash...."
"Everyone else is busy; throw out the trash later."
"Alright...."
Rong Shengsheng really didn't want to see Li Hanxian, but as a mere employee, she had no right to refuse her supervisor's instructions, so she braced herself to clean the office.
After knocking on the door of the office, she walked in nervously and stole a glance at Li Hanxian. He was sitting on the sofa, drinking tea, holding a computer, his profile exceptionally sleek, his features deep and sculpted. Just by sitting there, he exuded an unstoppable charisma.
Last night, Miaomiao and Qinqin even said they wanted Li Hanxian to be their dad.
What a wild idea.
Such a man...
"What are you spacing out for?"
Li Hanxian's chilling voice suddenly rang out, and Rong Shengsheng immediately snapped back to reality, "President Li, I'm here to clean."
"Mm, keep it down, don't disturb me."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Rong Shengsheng tiptoed as she wiped the windows, working hard, her movements clumsy in the oversized cleaning uniform, making her look bulky.
Li Hanxian squinted his eyes, feeling that Rong Shengsheng couldn't possibly be the woman from the club that night. After all, that woman had thrilled him, and her figure was perfect.
But why was the phone number Lu Ya gave him for Rong Shengsheng?
Probably a mistake.
Rong Shengsheng, noticing Li Hanxian's gaze, turned her head back.
In an instant, their eyes met.
Rong Shengsheng trembled with fear, and the rag in her hand fell to the floor.
"President Li, why... why are you looking at me?"
Could it be that he had discovered something?
Had he already figured out that she was the woman from last night?
Was her doomsday not upon her?
Just as she was pondering how to admit her mistakes and beg for mercy, the office door was pushed open again. Zhou Kuan walked in, "President Li, we still haven't found out who the woman from last night is."
Upon hearing this, Rong Shengsheng gasped in relief, her heart that had leapt to her throat suddenly calmed down.
That was a close call....
She quickly bent down to pick up the rag, pretending to continue cleaning the windows while actually pricking up her ears to eavesdrop on the conversation between Li Hanxian and Zhou Kuan.
