Chapter 290 - 290: Untitled
She knew that one must not sit randomly on such occasions. If one were to sit next to whoever was the sponsor, it could look a little ambiguous.
“Up to you!” Chu Yichen had no such thoughts. He placed the empty glass on the coffee table and Liang Qian filled the glass with whiskey.
The two of them did not speak. One drank while the other poured.
However, the perception of the people streaming into the room gradually changed as they looked at Liang Qian.
In the previous instances when Chu Yichen visited, he had never sat with a woman, so it seemed Liang Qian had succeeded in getting into a good position.
Long Ting studied the two of them as he drank, and he chuckled. The meaning was clear! As expected, his cousin was so angry that he had become muddle-headed.
Chu Yichen drank another glass and his phone rang. He looked down, his eyelashes concealing the expression in his eyes. After a while, he picked up the call.
“How’s Baobao? Does her stomach still hurt? Where is she now?” Li An’an paced back and forth in the hotel, unable to sit still. If it weren’t for the fact that she wasn’t allowed to, she would have already rushed back.
It was very noisy in the private room. Chu Yichen motioned for them to be quiet. The noise faded somewhat, but it was audible still.
Li An’an was furious when she heard that. “The child is sick, and you’re drinking?”
Chu Yichen chuckled. “I’m drinking, sure. But what about you? Where are you when the child is sick?”
Li An’an thought quickly. She had a feeling that Chu Yichen knew she was not in the city. “Alright, I’ll be honest. Actually, I’m out of town dealing with something. I shouldn’t have lied to you. I should have told you in advance. Now I’m repenting and I apologize, but tell me how the child is, okay?”
Chu Yichen’s perfect lips curled up at those words. “That’s it? You’ve got nothing to confess?” His voice was dangerous.
“Tell me first, how’s the child?” Li An’an became cautious. What sort of tone was this? Did he know something? Unlikely. If he knew, he would have sent people to take Junjun and Jinjün away.
Chu Yichen kept her in suspense. He continued, “The child is fine. She’s sleeping peacefully now, but I plan to adopt her!”
Li An’an felt like she was struck by a bolt of lightning! Chu Yichen wanted to adopt Baobao!
“No, the child’s parents won’t agree!” Baobao was hers. No one could snatch her away!
“That’s their business. If they don’t agree, I’ll sue them for abuse. The child is mine, for sure!” He could use force to keep the child!
Li An’an stood rooted to the ground, unable to speak for a long time. Chu
Yichen must be joking with her. He didn’t even know that Baobao was his child. Why would he snatch her away? That must be it. Li An’an kept consoling herself.
“CEO Chu, have some fruit” Liang Qian gently placed a plate of fruits in front of Chu Yichen. Her heart was racing. She had had many men in the entertainment industry, including A-list celebrities, young men, and rich sponsors, but none of them were as charming as Chu Yichen.
Chu Yichen hung up.
Li An’an was shocked. Chu Yichen was out with a woman?
After hanging up, Chu Yichen stood up and walked out without saying a word. He ignored Liang Qian and Long Ting immediately hurried after him.
Liang Qian took her bag and ran after him along the corridor. “CEO Chu, I didn’t drive. Would you mind giving me a lift?” She knew she was beautiful and her acting skills were top-notch. There were many men who liked her, but she had taken a fancy to him. She liked men like him who were not fickle and had power.
Chu Yichen pursed his lips and did not even look at her. He got into the elevator and the door shut.
Long Ting didn’t follow him into the elevator. Instead, he reached into his suit and took out his business card..
