Ning Shu took a bath, then went downstairs to get water. As she was passing by Ye Xi’s room, she heard movements come from inside.

  She pressed herself against the wall but could only vaguely hear some movements. She couldn’t hear anything concrete.

  Ning Shu thought about things for a moment, then quietly opened the main door to walk out of the house and over to the window of Ye Xi’s room.

  The lights in Ye Xi’s room were still on. Through a gap in the curtain, Ning Shu saw that Jing Shaoze and Ye Xi were laying in the same bed. From the looks of things, they had just finished doing it.

  She could faintly hear the sound of Ye Xi sobbing.

  Meanwhile, Jing Shaoze just looked at Ye Xi’s fair back for a moment, then pulled her to face him. “Quit it with your acting. Since you’re doing things for money, of course you have to sacrifice some things.”


  “I……” Ye Xi’s gaze was a little dazed. When Jing Shaoze saw the red marks on Ye Xi’s body, his gaze deepened and he lowered his head to kiss Ye Xi’s lips.

  Ning Shu turned and went back into the house. She walked straight to Ye Xi’s room and kicked the door, making a low thump.

  Since when was surrogate pregnancy you guys tumbling on the bed and making a baby? Wasn’t it supposed to be in vitro fertilization, using eggs from Ni Jing and sperm from Jing Shaoze, and having Ye Xi carry the fertilized egg?

  She was well-educated! There was no way they could fool her.

  When the two in the room heard the noise, they hastily stopped what they were about to do. Jing Shaoze pulled the blanket over Ye Xi to cover her naked body.

  Ye Xi was frightened by this sound, but Jing Shaoze’s act of covering her with the blanket made her heart tremble for a moment, then her nose felt a little stuffy.

  Jing Shaoze was only wearing pants. His upper body was fully exposed, revealing his sexy, muscular figure. Ye Xi looked away and buried herself under the blanket.

  Jing Shaoze frowned, then opened the door. However, there was no one at the door. He looked around but there was no one around at all.

  Who had pulled this prank?

  Jing Shaoze closed the door, then picked up his clothes and started putting them on.

  Ye Xi watched as Jing Shaoze buttoned up his shirt. The movements of his jade-like fingers were exceptionally elegant.

  “Who was outside?” asked Ye Xi, her voice slightly hoarse.

  Ye Xi glanced at her. “No one.”


  Ye Xi picked up his coat and left.

  After kicking the door, Ning Shu went back upstairs and into her bedroom. Her heart felt a little uncomfortable. She had walked around the villa and up and down the stairs, so she felt a little sick.

  She lay down on the bed but couldn’t fall asleep. She felt pretty speechless. The situation with those two probably counted as ‘familiarity breeds fondness.’


  Jing Shaoze had been captivated by the taste of Ye Xi and ended up infatuated with Ye Xi’s body.

  Due to Ni Jing’s health, their bedside activities were always very ordinary. With Ye Xi on the other hand, he could show off his manly conquering ability as much as he liked.

  Jing Shaoze had never experienced something like this in the past. At the very least, he hadn’t experienced it with Ni Jing.

  So these two started sleeping together behind Ni Jing’s back.

  Furthermore, even up to when Ye Xi gave birth, Ni Jing still thought that the child was hers and Jing Shaoze’s.

  At the beginning, when Jing Shaoze’s mother decided to find a surrogate mother, Ni Jing and Jing Shaoze had gone to the hospital to freeze their eggs and sperm.

  Later, Jing Shaoze’s mother brought Ye Xi back to stay with the Jing family under the excuse that they needed to prepare her body. Once her body was in the best state, they would implant the sperm and eggs into her uterus.

  After Ye Xi gave birth and disappeared, Ni Jing had done her all to take care of the child, which made her already poor health even worse and she eventually died on the operating table.

  Ning Shu took a deep breath. Perhaps Jing Shaoze’s mother had never considered using Ni Jing’s eggs from the start. Jing Shaoze’s mother had actually encouraged these events.

  Ning Shu gave a cold laugh.
