Rich Young Mistress: Young Master Xie’s Dearest Beloved Wife
chapter-1416

As Yuan Shuangrui said those words, it seemed as though she blamed herself, or perhaps this was her method of raising her confidence.

Deep inside, she was uneasy. She has been having nightmares about Qin Huailing in his youth—he would stand there and question why she treated him in this manner.

She couldn’t answer. Qin Huailing was of the same age as her, but she was more mature. She knew what she wanted. She knew that she could forsake everything for the sake of power and status.

That was why she could abandon Qin Huailing without a thought. But at that time, she would’ve never expected him to survive.

Naturally, Yuan Shuangrui’s words reached Qin Huailing’s ears through discrete channels.

Qin Huailing said plainly, “Finally, she couldn’t resist and started dealing her cards.”

“Young Master, what should we do next?”

“We have the means to resist. The reason why I decided to show my face in front of her was to force her hand. This way, we will be able to catch her weakness.”

His subordinate still did not understand.

Qin Huailing placed a piece on the chessboard. “Didn’t her family want to control the Qin family? So why can’t the Qin family turn the tides and be the one having control over the Yuan family?”

The subordinate couldn’t believe it. After all, it was like a tiger trying to eat an elephant. Could they really do it?

“Wuzheng, although you may not understand now, you will understand it in the future.”

“This subordinate is foolish.”

“Although you are foolish, you’ve been loyal over the years and accomplished the tasks that I’ve given you, so I can rest assured with you on this task.”

“This subordinate does not dare to betray Young Master’s hopes.”

“Okay.”

When Wuzheng went out to settle things, Qin Huailing called Xie Limo to give him a heads-up. “The opponent has made their move.”

Xie Limo replied smoothly, “Very good. If you need any help, feel free to ask.”

“It’s alright. I will handle this on my own this time. My personal grievances should end with this as well.”

“Okay.”

…

Bai Yaoyao had been waiting for Duan Yanhao to fetch her since the second day of the new year, but even after a few days, she did not hear from him and he was nowhere in sight. Despite this, she was not anxious.

Somehow, she trusted Duan Yanhao. She knew that it was because he had other tasks that prevented him from coming.

During this time, Bai Yaoyao accompanied Yun Bixue. Since she was a good chef, she made many delicious dishes for the latter.

Although it was only for a week, Yun Bixue’s appetite grew evidently, and she gained weight bit by bit.

With Bai Yaoyao at home to accompany Yun Bixue, together with their bodyguards, Xie Limo could finally rest assured to sort his things out.

At night, Xie Limo abided by the rules and simply hugged Yun Bixue. Even if his passion raged from just the scent of her, he would hold himself back.

Unfortunately, Yun Bixue did not notice his misery. She shuffled a little within Xie Limo’s embrace, trying to find a comfortable position, and her movement was like torture for him.

In the end, he sighed and said, “Xue, be good and stop moving. It’s hurting me.”

Yun Bixue became nervous. “Why would your body hurt?”

Xie Limo caressed her head. “They say that pregnancy would make one foolish. Do you still not understand?” As he said that, he held Yun Bixue’s hand and moved it downwards.

Yun Bixue understood right away and quickly pulled her hand back, not daring to move.

Xie Limo took a deep breath and looked at Yun Bixue’s fair skin and collarbone. His desire for her continued to surge, but he had to force it down. He could only take a cold shower.
