In a hotel, Lin Li had just finished discussing a collaboration and walked out of the private room, ready to leave.
Suddenly, Qin Ruoyao appeared, looking hurt as she gazed at Lin Li. "Li Gege."
Lin Li instinctively glanced around, relieved.
Thankfully, it was only one of his trusted subordinates; no one else was present.
The subordinate, with keen perception, said, "Mr. Lin, I have something at home, so I'll take my leave first."
Lin Li pulled Qin Ruoyao into the private room and frowned. "What are you doing here?"
"Li Gege, it's been half a month since I last saw you. I miss you so much." Qin Ruoyao looked at him pitifully, her eyes red and swollen from crying, like a little rabbit.
Qin Ruoyao knew very well how to manipulate Lin Li.
Lin Li was most vulnerable to her pitiful expressions.
As expected, Lin Li's expression softened. "I've been too busy. Now, my father is training me, giving me a lot of tasks, plus there's schoolwork to manage. I've been spinning around, and I really don't have time to see you."
"I understand, Li Gege. You wouldn't abandon me." Qin Ruoyao threw herself into his embrace, tightly hugging his waist.
"Don't cry, Yao Yao. Your tears make me heartbroken." Lin Li comforted her.
Qin Ruoyao deliberately rubbed against Lin Li. "Li Gege, I just wanted to see you today. Just seeing you is enough for me."
"I know you're busy, Li Gege. I'll head back now."
Qin Ruoyao turned to leave, but Lin Li grabbed her wrist.
Lin Li pulled Qin Ruoyao into his arms. "Yao Yao, I've just finished my work. Today, I can spend the whole day with you. What you did earlier, wasn't that your intention? I'll fulfill it for you."
"Li Gege." Qin Ruoyao blushed.
They booked a room in the hotel next door.
Lin Li couldn't wait to push Qin Ruoyao onto the bed, but she pushed him away.
"Li Gege, you smell like sweat. Go take a shower first."
Qin Ruoyao pushed Lin Li toward the bathroom.
Lin Li sniffed his clothes. "Sweat? Really?" he frowned.
"Li Gege, hurry up. I prepared a surprise for you." Qin Ruoyao blushed.
"You little trickster, that's what you're scheming." Lin Li chuckled and tapped Qin Ruoyao's nose.
Lin Li's heart also began to anticipate.
Qin Ruoyao was the most playful during intimacy, and he wondered what surprise she had prepared for him today.
"Alright, I'll go to the bathroom now."
Lin Li went into the bathroom.
Qin Ruoyao picked up her coat and took out the camera, placing it in a position facing the bed, where it would be hard to detect.
Qin Ruoyao also swapped the hotel-provided condoms.
She had paid a steep price to a vendor for these, with excellent packaging but riddled with holes.
Qin Ruoyao's gaze flickered.
If she couldn't get pregnant this time, there would be a second, third, fourth... She was sure she would succeed eventually.
She was determined to enter the Lin family's door!
After an hour of indulgence.
Lin Li dressed and said, "Yao Yao, I just remembered there's some work I need to handle at the company. I'll head back first. Here's a thousand yuan; take a taxi home."
"Mm." Qin Ruoyao nodded.
As soon as Lin Li left, Qin Ruoyao immediately took out the camera and transferred the video to her phone.
Qin Ruoyao watched the video, smiling.
With this video, even if Li Gege ever changed his mind, the Lin family, who valued their reputation so much, wouldn't dare to cast her aside directly.
Thinking of this, Qin Ruoyao touched her stomach.
If she could get pregnant, that would be perfect.
Lin Li remained unaware of Qin Ruoyao's actions as he returned to the Lin family residence.
Wang Yajun was there as well.
Seeing Wang Yajun sitting with Jiang Shuqin on the living room sofa, Lin Li was momentarily stunned. "Why is Auntie Wang here?"
Jiang Shuqin smiled. "Today is your Auntie Wang's birthday. She doesn't have any other family to celebrate with, so I thought I'd invite her over to celebrate together."
"Shuqin, thank you." Wang Yajun was deeply moved.
"We're best friends; there's no need to thank me. I'll go prepare dinner myself."
Jiang Shuqin headed to the kitchen.
Lin Li also said, "Dad, Auntie Wang, I'll go to my room."
Today was his mother's birthday, and he wanted to give her some time alone with his father.
"Go ahead," Lin Chang nodded.
The servants were all busy outside, leaving only Lin Chang and Wang Yajun in the living room.
Wang Yajun immediately pulled Lin Chang to the dining room, just a wall away from where Jiang Shuqin was busy in the kitchen.
Lin Chang frowned. "Juny, this is too dangerous. If Jiang Shuqin finds out..."
"She's busy in the kitchen; she won't notice us. I'm not afraid; what are you scared of, being a man?"
Wang Yajun kissed Lin Chang's lips.
Lin Chang also felt a thrill of excitement and couldn't wait to return her kiss.
They soon became more than just kissing.
They moved to the bedroom shared by Lin Chang and Jiang Shuqin, with Wang Yajun's eyes cold with amusement.
She couldn't wait for Jiang Shuqin to see the scene unfolding.
But she had to wait, at least until Lin Chang seized control of the Lin family...
Jiang Shuqin finished preparing dinner.
When she emerged from the kitchen, she saw Lin Chang sitting on the sofa, with Wang Yajun standing in front of him, holding a phone.
Jiang Shuqin frowned.
Somehow, she felt the atmosphere between them was strange.
And their faces were slightly flushed.
"What are you two doing?" Jiang Shuqin walked over.
Wang Yajun seemed to just realize her presence and smiled, pointing at the phone. "There was some urgent work that needed Mr. Lin's attention. I was just reporting it."
Jiang Shuqin glanced at the phone, which indeed showed work-related content.
Her doubts subsided.
Shaking her head, Jiang Shuqin chided herself.
What was she thinking? Her husband loved her so much, and Yajun had a beloved husband, after all, she was her best friend.
She must be crazy to think anything was amiss between them.
Two days later.
Luo Yuan noticed that Qin Ruoyao's mood had improved significantly. He guessed that she had likely secured the video of her and Lin Li.
Luo Yuan stroked his chin. It seemed he also needed to find an opportunity to get the photos and videos from Qin Ruoyao's phone.
Luo Yuan spent the rest of the money Lin Xuan had given him to buy a cake, a ring, and a bottle of red wine for Qin Ruoyao.
He showed up at Qin Ruoyao's place with these.
Qin Ruoyao looked at the cake, confused. "Luo Yuan, why did you bring a cake today? My birthday already passed."
"Yao Yao, don't you remember? Today marks six years since we met."
Of course, it wasn't true!
They had actually met six years ago, but that date was a month away.
For the sake of his unrequited love, his ex-girlfriend abandoned him at the altar, indirectly causing the death of his parents. Just when he thought his life was plunged into darkness, a clueless yet beautiful girl unexpectedly took him in. Looking back, he realized how many hidden gems had always been by his side. A childhood friend who had secretly loved him for over a decade, a stunning but socially clueless school beauty, a mischievous and playful girl who lived for chaos... His ex, filled with regret, pleaded: "I was wrong—can we go back to how things were?" Before he could respond, the girl stepped in front of Ye Shuang and coldly declared, "If you didn’t cherish him, then he’s mine now." Also known as: "After Losing My Job, I Was Picked Up by a Hidden Gem," "The School Beauty I Raised," and "Oh No, I’m Surrounded by Rich Girls."
