111: Chapter 111: Maybe Already Pregnant 111: Chapter 111: Maybe Already Pregnant Upon hearing this, Yan Qianyi’s emotions, which had just lifted, plummeted instantly.

She knew it, Old Madam Yan would never be kind to her for no reason.

“What conditions?” she asked.

“Just saying you’re uneducated, and you’re still not happy.

It’s all very clearly written in the contract, do you really not understand words?”

Yan Qianyi was so angry that she wished she could flip the table and chase the old lady away right now.

After all these years, although she had become accustomed to Old Madam Yan’s disdain for her, having never received a single word of praise since childhood, it was already good enough if she was not met with cold sarcasm and hot irony.

But now, Mu Yunlie was sitting right beside her.

Couldn’t she give her some face?

She needed face too, okay?

Mu Yunlie pushed the contract in front of Yan Qianyi, his well-defined fingers pointing to a line in the middle of the document.

Yan Qianyi looked closely, and couldn’t help but widen her eyes, “We have to have a baby?!”

“Correct,” said Old Lady Yan, “So to be precise, this gift is for my future great-grandchild.

Only if the two of you have a child will this contract officially take effect.

I originally wanted to give more, but in these past two years, my shares in Yan’s have been diluted to just six percent by that cunning woman Han Yarong, though I did keep one percent of the shares for my own retirement.”

“Then thank you very much, Grandmother.

Ah Lie and I really like this gift, and our future baby will like it too,” Yan Qianyi quickly handed the contract to Aunt Xue, “Aunt Xue, please keep this safe for me, and be careful not to lose it.”

Mu Yunlie turned his head slightly to look at her.

Our future baby?

What the hell?

Weren’t they supposed to make clear their relationship to Grandma?

“If you like it, that’s good.

I think this contract will be effective very soon,” said Old Lady Yan happily, instructing Aunt Xue, “From now on when you cook for Qianyi you need to be careful.

You should know which foods are not suitable for pregnant women and which are good for them, right?”

Aunt Xue nodded quickly, “Rest assured, Old Madam, I know.”

Yan Qianyi was full of question marks, “What pregnant woman?

I’m not pregnant.”

Old Lady Yan smiled with deep meaning, “Your fertility is so good, maybe you two have already conceived in the bedroom just a moment ago.”

Yan Qianyi: “…”

Mu Yunlie: “…”

“Alright, tell me what you want,” asked Old Madam Yan, “What is it you wanted to say?”

“I…” suddenly, Yan Qianyi was at a loss for words.

If she told Old Madam Yan the truth about her and Mu Yunlie’s real marital relationship, those five percent Yan shares would definitely be taken back.

She wanted to take control of Yan’s quickly, and those five percent shares gifted by the old lady were crucial too.

After quickly weighing her options in her mind, Yan Qianyi spoke up, “I just wanted to ask about your first love’s name.

I can help you look for him.

Maybe if he’s still single, you two can rekindle your past feelings and have a late-life romance.”

This was a pretext she had just thought up on the spot, but she indeed felt this way in her heart.

The old lady had given her such a generous gift, and she wanted to do something to make the old lady happy.

Old Lady Yan sighed, “No need.”

“Why not?

Haven’t you always been pining for him?”

“While we’re no longer in contact, I’ve always known where he is.

It’s better to keep the good memories, and not disturb him.”

Yan Qianyi nodded and looked towards Mu Yunlie, “Didn’t you just say you had urgent matters to attend to?

I’ll take you there.”

Mu Yunlie was eating his meal seriously when he was suddenly issued an eviction notice, and he paused in surprise.

“Ah, what’s the rush!” Old Lady Yan glared at Yan Qianyi, “Can’t you see Ah Lie is still eating?”

Mu Yunlie put down his chopsticks, “I’ve finished eating, and indeed, there are things I need to attend to.”

“Then let’s go, I’ll walk you downstairs.”

Yan Qianyi quickly got up and headed for the door.

She was afraid that if Mu Yunlie stayed here any longer, their ruse would soon be uncovered.

In the elevator, Mu Yunlie asked her, “So, for the sake of those shares, you’re going to continue pretending to be my wife?”

Yan Qianyi nodded and smiled brightly, “Since we can’t divorce now anyway, you don’t mind, right?”

“Whatever you want,” Mu Yunlie said before walking out of the elevator.

“Take care,” Yan Qianyi didn’t go any further, instead reminding him as she looked at his receding figure, “Remember to take two of that medicine each time, don’t waste it, it’s very expensive.”

After returning home, and after sending off Old Lady Yan, Yan Qianyi immediately logged on to the organization’s website.

Taking advantage of the time before the school term started, she planned to take up a mission within the organization, see a few patients, and gather enough money for a bigger apartment.

She found the highest-paying mission available and accepted it.

Then, she shared the mission content with Hei Zai and sent a message over.

“Xiao Hei, want to work together on this one?

Six million in commission, five hundred thousand for me, one hundred thousand for you.”

This mission was posted by the station manager.

The task was to travel to Kefei Star and assassinate a person codenamed Black Bear.

Black Bear’s real name was unknown, but after accepting the mission, the photograph of Black Bear could be seen.

At times like this, she needed the assistance of a hacker like Hei Zai to help her out.

Hei Zai: “Crap!

Such a high commission, and you’re only giving me this much?”

Cat Immortal: “If you don’t want to, I’ll find someone else to work with.”

Hei Zai: “Fine fine fine, I’m in!”

As a hacker, Hei Zai never took on jobs that required him to be at the scene; he only took on cyber-attack tasks.

After getting to know Cat Immortal, he had made quite a sum of money working with her.

During the two years of Cat Immortal’s disappearance, he had tried working with others in this way, but the jobs were either barely completed or entirely failed.

And if a mission failed, compensation had to be paid to the organization for breaching the contract.

Now, he was more than willing to work with Cat Immortal again.

Because his collaborations with Cat Immortal had never failed.

And they always completed the tasks neatly and efficiently.

He just wanted to bargain a bit more.

Seeing Hei Zai agree, Yan Qianyi curled her lips into a smile as she stared at the screen.

She knew Hei Zai couldn’t refuse her.

After all, she was the one on the front lines, putting in the effort and facing danger.

And Hei Zai only needed to provide her with some information from the shadows, with no risk involved.

If it were any other hacker, she wouldn’t even be willing to give one hundred thousand.

Yan Qianyi placed her slender fingers on the virtual keyboard and quickly typed out a message:

“I’ll depart tomorrow morning, expect to arrive at Kefei Star by evening.

Track down that person’s location as soon as possible, I want a quick battle.”

…

After leaving the Yan residence, Mu Yunlie immediately returned to the Military Department and convened a meeting with his subordinates.

“The target currently identified is this man codenamed Black Bear who has had secret contact with the Insect Clan on Kefei Star,” said the head of the intelligence department as he displayed a photo on the projector.

Mu Yunlie nodded slightly, “Then as we discussed earlier, tomorrow morning, I will personally lead the team to Kefei Star, dismissed.”

After everyone left, Pei Yuexuan remained in the meeting room, his face full of worry.
