CHAPTER 900: CHAPTER 900: DOESN’T EVEN HAVE AN HEIR

Zhou Yixiu said, "I just came to check on you, don’t be so nervous."

Ji Yunhuan stared at him pretending in front of her, "What threats do you plan on making today? Or are you here to mock me?"

"Not at all." Zhou Yixiu looked at Ji Yunhuan pitiably, "I just pity you now, so I wanted to see how you’re doing—after such a long wait, Qi Cheng has finally returned, but now with another woman by his side. How does that feel?"

"Great! It’s wonderful, Qi Cheng has good taste, and the woman you chose for him, I am very satisfied with. I was worried before about what kind of woman you’d choose for him, but it seems Boss Zhou also has a good eye." Ji Yunhuan smiled slightly, "Thank you on behalf of Qi Cheng."

"..." Ji Yunhuan’s lack of a dramatic outburst left Zhou Yixiu quite unaccustomed.

He looked at Ji Yunhuan and said meaningfully, "You’re quite the actress."

"Acting? How am I acting?" Ji Yunhuan smiled, "I just happen to be in a really good mood, Qi Cheng is back, and recently I found out about a weakness of Boss Zhou, so I feel great."

"Weakness?" Zhou Yixiu said, "What do you think my weakness would be?"

Ji Yunhuan looked Zhou Yixiu up and down, "Mr. Zhou, you’re not young anymore, you’re several years older than Qi Cheng, aren’t you? But unfortunately, up till now, you don’t even have an heir..."

As Ji Yunhuan said this, she noticed Zhou Yixiu’s expression becoming somewhat unpleasant.

Ji Yunhuan raised an eyebrow and said, "Even if you have power and influence, what does it matter, it’s a pity your character is so poor that you can’t even father a child."

Zhou Yixiu’s infertility was something Ji Yunhuan knew about.

Although the doctor had said that it was just very difficult for Zhou Yixiu to have children, having no children had always been a sore spot for him.

After all, a man like him was more concerned with whether he had an heir.

Zhou Yixiu said with a sullen face, "You’re quite interested in my affairs."

"I’m not some young girl, why wouldn’t I know about such things? After all, it’s not me being embarrassed."

Zhou Yixiu said, "Ji Yunhuan, you will pay a price for speaking nonsense."

She was the first woman who dared to mention his sore spot in front of him, implying that he was impotent.

Ji Yunhuan said, "I’m not done talking yet, why are you in such a hurry?"

"Speak." Zhou Yixiu emitted a cold aura, staring at Ji Yunhuan with displeasure, as if he wanted to bite someone.

Ji Yunhuan said, "I know you’ve always wanted a child but never had one, very unfortunate... However, recently a woman is pregnant with your child... Congratulations, you’re going to be a father."

"Where did you hear this?" Zhou Yixiu frowned, clearly not believing Ji Yunhuan.

"You’ve been so focused on me lately, when have you ever cared about these things?" Ji Yunhuan said, "But I’d advise you to pay more attention and care for your child, just in case... with all the bad things you’ve done, karma might affect your child, and that wouldn’t be good. After all, this might be your only son in this lifetime, right?"

Ji Yunhuan raised her eyebrows, the threat was very clear.

She knew she couldn’t do much to Zhou Yixiu, but his child, after all, was just a defenseless fetus in the womb. If Zhou Yixiu could focus his attention on the child, then perhaps he’d be less inclined to cause trouble. But if he felt indifferent about the child, she wouldn’t hold back regarding his child either.

Zhou Yixiu had committed too many wrongs, and Ji Yunhuan had long been unable to tolerate them.

Even with the child, she didn’t want to show mercy.

Perhaps because Ji Yunhuan’s threat was effective, or maybe the sudden news of becoming a father excited Zhou Yixiu, he was eager to verify and didn’t stop Ji Yunhuan.

Ji Yunhuan got into the car, looking at Zhou Yixiu’s complex expression in the rearview mirror, she lifted the corners of her mouth disdainfully, this man really cared about the child.

Perhaps before, because he had no child, he was so perverse and arrogant?

The news of Zhou Yixiu having a child, Ji Yunhuan had heard it from Bai Liyan, though she didn’t know how Bai Liyan found out.

The one pregnant was Lin Zhenyu. More than three months ago, Zhou Yixiu had been with her once, and since then, Zhou Yixiu hadn’t paid her any attention, but unexpectedly, she became pregnant.

This news surprised Zhou Yixiu, recently Lin Zhenyu had called him several times, but he was busy. Probably, she wanted to talk about the child, but never got the chance...

In the afternoon, Zhou Yixiu, who had just returned to C City, entered the door and saw Lin Zhenyu, who was startled, "Why are you back?"

Zhou Yixiu had rarely come home, and after suffering losses with Qi Cheng, he came back even less.

Lin Zhenyu was used to it, so she was somewhat surprised to see Zhou Yixiu return.

Zhou Yixiu sat down, and Lin Zhenyu sat as well. At over three months, her belly still did not show.

Seeing him staring at her, Lin Zhenyu lowered her head...

Since having this child, she hardly concerned herself with Zhou Yixiu’s affairs, knowing that no matter how she waited, he would not return. And now, this child had become her spiritual support.

Zhou Yixiu asked, "You’re pregnant?"

Lin Zhenyu nodded, "Yes."

"Why didn’t you tell me?" Zhou Yixiu stared into her eyes.

The child was very important to him.

Lin Zhenyu said, "You seemed so busy, so... you came back for the child?"

She had always thought a man like Zhou Yixiu wouldn’t care about a child.

Besides...

She also didn’t know Zhou Yixiu had fertility issues, thinking it had been her fault all these years, feeling guilty for a long time.

Zhou Yixiu listened to her and said, "Yes, you should have told me earlier."

"I didn’t think you’d care about a child." Lin Zhenyu bit her lips, looking at Zhou Yixiu, "How have you been lately?"

"Not bad," Zhou Yixiu said, frowning slightly.

"Dad hasn’t been well lately, he just got hospitalized last night, you should go see him," Lin Zhenyu said with concern. She always played the role of a good wife with Zhou Yixiu, though he never cherished it. Fortunately, she had gotten used to it.

But this time, because of her pregnancy, Zhou Yixiu had been much nicer to her, which surprised Lin Zhenyu, as Zhou Yixiu stayed at home with her peacefully for two days, only going to the hospital once to see his father and not doing anything else.

The family had found a psychologist for Qi Cheng, hoping to help him recover some past memories, which was also something Qi Cheng himself requested.

He wanted to recall past events.

As the doctor had just left, Ji Yunhuan went to his room and found him sitting in a chair as Cheng Yanxi asked him, "Have you remembered anything?"
