Lily woke up from the persistent knocking on her door. She jolted up, eyes still closed. "Who is it?" she asked.

  "It’s me."

  "Yuanfeng? Come inside." She stifled a yawn. "Did something happen? What time is it?"

  "Five in the morning. Someone published a news article a couple of minutes ago about your pregnancy." He sat on her bed and showed her the news from his laptop. "I already removed it from the net. It was from an entertainment website."

  "Why would they release it on an entertainment website?"

  He shrugged in response. "They thought it would get enough attention? It’s not like people in the entertainment industry know you. It would have made sense if they released the news on a business page. But I guess they wanted anonymity. They got it from a site that is somewhat of a forum where anonymous people can reveal their experiences in dealing with celebrities. The one who wrote this topic said that you are an extreme bitch with a nasty personality. They even included Jingren’s image and said something about you not being compatible with him."

  "Really?"

  "Really." He nodded.

  "No…… no…… I mean the one with compatibility. Why would they even say that? Did they think I am not pretty enough?" She stifled another yawn.

  "That is not my point."

  "I know! Still…… Jingren and I look good together. What do they mean by not compatible?" she frowned.

  "You are missing my point."

  "What is your point?" Lily asked. However, instead of responding, Qin Yuanfeng let out a sharp sigh and shook his head in defeat. Just what did he expect from talking to Lily while she was still half asleep?

  "You better go back to sleep." He stood and turned his back against her. "I will continue deleting this news article against you."

  "Oh! Wait…… Do you know who wrote such a thing?"

  "It’s someone from the Li corporation. They thought it would be hard to track it. They were wrong." Finally Lily is on the right track, he thought inwardly.

  "Really? That old man said that I am not compatible with Jingren?"

  Qin Yuanfeng did not know if he should laugh or cry at Lily’s statement. Either way, he was sure that she was still sleepy. "Go back to sleep." He said. "I will take care of it." Without waiting for Lily to respond, he left the room and went downstairs with his laptop. "You are back?"

  "You are still awake?" Zhou Jingren eyed the laptop in his hand. "Did she ask you to do something for her?"

  "No. I woke her up. The people from Li corp found someone to reveal Lily’s pregnancy on an entertainment website."

  Zhou Jingren instantly frowned. "The old man did it?"

  "He went to see Lily yesterday. She was not in the mood to deal with his bullshit and she walked out, insulting him. I guess that was enough reason for him to retaliate. But — this is a really weak attempt to create an issue about Lily. I already took care of it." He sat next to Zhou Jingren. "How was…… father?" He hesitated for a few seconds before he looked at him.

  "He is good. He is drinking…… a lot."

  "Oh."

  "If you want to talk to him, you can always call him you know."

  "No, I don’t." He answered without batting an eyelid.

  Zhou Jingren turned silent, his gaze glued at the younger man’s side profile. "Do you hate him?"

  "No."

  "Then…… why not call him?"

  "I feel nothing." He met his eyes. "But he hurt Lily." He added before he rose from his seat, leaving his laptop on the coffee table as he got himself a cup of coffee from the kitchen. He was actually being honest. He did not hate his father, he never did, however, this did not mean that he liked him either. With this in mind, he shrugged and decided to stop thinking about it. He would not waste his time for people who took over twenty years to realize that they were stupid.

  When he came back, Zhou Jingren was already on his laptop, doing something. "That was the bank account that they used to pay the person who made the news. They tried to make it look as anonymous as possible." He sat next to him and gave him a bottle of water. "But is there really something known as anonymous on the web these days?"

  "Hmmm. I was looking into Mr. Li’s computer." Zhou Jingren said. "Look at these photos." He turned pointed at the screen, it was a photo of Stephen Li with a man.

  "Eh? His son is gay?"

  "Hmmm. He might be using this to blackmail him into following his words."

  "Probably."

  "What are you doing?"

  "Copying it here…… then I will remotely delete everything from his computer."

  "Everything?"

  "Yeah…… everything." Zhou Jingren answered. It did not take him a lot of time to delete every piece of data on the man’s computer.

  "You are being petty. Why don’t we just empty his account? The one that he used to pay the person who posted the news?" Qin Yuanfeng suggested.

  "That is illegal. Did Lily teach you that?"

  "So is hacking into someone’s computer!"

  "It was an act of petty revenge! Emptying someone’s bank account is bad. Don’t do that. At least…… don’t do it after they just pay someone to ruin Lily. They will immediately know that the revenge had something to do with what they did to her."

  Wide-eyed, Qin Yuanfeng stared at Zhou Jingren before he nodded. So…… deleting the content’s inside Mr. Li’s computer was fine since it is too small for revenge. They would not think that Lily would be so petty to do it. Mr. Li must have thought that Lily would launch something so big against him to retaliate.

  However, this would be different if they empty his bank account. "You are right." He nodded in approval. "That is actually an excellent one."

  "Hmmm…… you should stop thinking about money." Zhou Jingren said.

  "Money is important though."

  "Money can’t buy happiness."

  "But it can buy food and clothes and a house full of computers." Qin Yuanfeng uttered. "That is happiness."

  "How could you be so simple?"

  "Am I simple?" Qin Yuanfeng uttered. "I don’t think I am."

  In response, Zhou Jingren shook his head, helplessly. Lily and Qin Yuanfeng were indeed twins. "I will get some sleep." He grabbed the bottle of water and walked towards the master bedroom……
