Chapter 124: Lest the Hungry Tiger Pounce on the Sheep

Ling Hanyu stepped out of the car and picked up his daughter. Whether Song Qingtian believed it or not, he remained expressionless throughout.

It was only when he held his daughter in his arms that he seemed a bit more at ease.

Yet as he turned around, he shot her a meaningful glance.

“Let’s put the pregnancy matter aside for now. If you want to be my secretary, report for work tomorrow.”

Song Qingtian was utterly astonished—work?

Ling Hanyu carried his daughter into the Villa, where Aunt Chen had already prepared dinner, waiting for Song Qingtian and the others to return.

As she watched Ling Hanyu walk away, it took Song Qingtian a long while to realize that he was asking her to become his secretary.

Song Qingtian’s face darkened. Even if she did become a secretary, she would never serve Ling Hanyu—he didn’t deserve it!

Besides, she had no intention of becoming a secretary in the first place.

Although she hadn’t decided exactly what she would do yet, she certainly wasn’t going to be a secretary.

Back at the Villa, as soon as Song Qingtian sat down, she felt a bit unwell, with a queasy feeling in her stomach.

Looking at the steamed fish on the table, she immediately felt nauseous.

Staring at the fish made her dizzy.

“I’m going to wash my hands.”

Song Qingtian got up and headed to the bathroom, where she washed her face before finally feeling a little better.

Thinking about how the original female supporting character had died in a car accident because of her pregnancy, Song Qingtian couldn’t help but worry: Could it be that something was wrong with her body—something that hadn’t been detected—and that she was about to follow the same fate as the original female supporting character?

She should probably get checked out sometime.

When Song Qingtian came out of the bathroom, she saw Ling Hanyu waiting at the dining table.

As soon as she stepped outside, she caught sight of Ling Hanyu staring at her.

Song Qingtian walked over and sat down, too afraid to look at the fish.

Aunt Chen had only cooked the fish because Ling Nuonuo loved it.

Over the past two weeks, since Song Qingtian’s pregnancy became known, Aunt Chen hadn’t made it—she’d been helping Song Qingtian put on a show.

In fact, Aunt Chen knew that Song Qingtian had gotten her period, so when she found out Song Qingtian was pregnant, she assumed it was just another one of Song Qingtian’s old tricks.

She went along with it, too, so Song Qingtian wouldn’t have to work so hard at pretending.

Still, today Aunt Chen was a bit worried—she feared that Ling Hanyu might take his anger out on Song Qingtian because of the fake pregnancy.

But nothing like that happened.

Song Qingtian tried her best not to look at the fish, but she couldn’t help the smell wafting into her nose.

After only a few bites, Song Qingtian got up and left.

“I’m not feeling well—I’m going back to rest.”

With that, Song Qingtian headed upstairs, while Ling Nuonuo, busy as ever, didn’t even eat.

Both mother and daughter went upstairs, and Ling Hanyu lost his appetite too.

Once they were upstairs, Ling Nuonuo called out from inside, “Mommy, Daddy isn’t mad anymore! When I go to school, you’ve got to find someone you like, okay?”

“…” Song Qingtian was both annoyed and amused—kids will be kids.

Outside, Ling Hanyu pushed open the door and stepped in. As soon as he entered, he glanced at Song Qingtian, which made her a little uneasy.

Ling Nuonuo looked perfectly obedient as she ran off to find her dad.

Ling Hanyu picked up his daughter and sat down.

But he sat right next to Song Qingtian.

Even if he suspected that Song Qingtian was faking illness just to avoid eating in front of him, Ling Hanyu still couldn’t help but notice how uncomfortable she looked.

How obvious was it to pretend to be sick?

Song Qingtian felt like sleeping, and only when she saw Ling Hanyu did she say, “I want to take a nap.”

“Feeling unwell?”

Ling Hanyu reached out and touched Song Qingtian’s head. Song Qingtian thought she was being overly dramatic—any contact and she’d immediately feel something.

It was embarrassing to even admit it!

Unable to hold back any longer, Song Qingtian bit her lip, raised her hand, and grabbed Ling Hanyu’s hand, pulling it toward her.

While their daughter wasn’t paying attention, she gave him a quick kiss and pressed it against her cheek.

She even proactively shifted closer to the bed.

Since she’d already gone this far, she wasn’t afraid to admit that she’d seduced Ling Hanyu.

If Ling Hanyu didn’t want it, he could always refuse.

Ling Hanyu frowned slightly, his tone irritated: “What are you doing?”

Ling Nuonuo hurried over to check Ling Hanyu’s displeased expression and quickly explained, “Mommy’s sleepy!”

Ling Hanyu’s hand didn’t move, nor did he pull it back.

Song Qingtian pursed her lips. “That only counts as ten thousand!”

“…” Ling Hanyu was taken aback and nearly lost his temper.

But the next moment, Song Qingtian had already closed her eyes, and her complexion looked rather poor, so Ling Hanyu finally didn’t pull his hand back.

And he couldn’t resist gently rubbing Song Qingtian’s face with his thumb.

What Song Qingtian found most impossible to resist was Ling Hanyu’s response. She opened her eyes again, reluctantly let go of his hand, and rolled over to face away from him, lest she pounce on him like a hungry tiger.

But the very next moment, a cold glint flashed in Ling Hanyu’s eyes, and anger blazed in his chest.

What else could it be?
