Actually, Li Xiyu had a safer method. She could throw out a hook to lure Song Yunsheng to investigate on his own. However, Li Xiyu was afraid that Song Yunsheng might dig into Song Yi'an's affairs, so she had to abandon this idea.
In fact, Li Xiyu wasn't sure how long she could hold on. All the current methods were just to buy time. After all, she and Song Yi'an hadn't even had a relationship. They had always kept their feelings in check and behaved properly. Where could a child come from?
This child was just a lie she used to delay Song Yunsheng from inheriting the inheritance. It was also the idea of the chief secretary. If Li Xiyu was pregnant, the law would give priority to protecting the mother during pregnancy or lactation. In terms of inheritance qualification, she would be much more eligible than Song Yunsheng, who was an adopted son, held a high - position and had the ability to support himself.
The chief secretary knew about this matter, and soon Song Yunsheng would also realize it. By then, he would surely try every means to verify the authenticity of this child or get rid of the child.
Actually, Li Xiyu's move was a bit like inviting trouble.
Li Xiyu wasn't afraid of something happening to herself. She knew that Song Yunsheng always went all out to get what he wanted. In his life, besides the Song Corporation, the thing he wanted most was her. She still had confidence for the time being that Song Yunsheng wouldn't do anything to her before he got her.
However, no one could guess how long Song Yunsheng's patience would last.
Only when Song Yi'an woke up could their crisis be truly resolved.
If something happened to Song Yi'an, she would really fight Song Yunsheng.
Li Xiyu asked, "Has the news of my pregnancy been spread?"
The chief secretary said, "Speaking of this, it's really like someone offering a pillow just when you're about to sleep. Weren't you just threatening Song Yunsheng with a knife in the Song Mansion? People on Song Yunsheng's side probably wanted to put you under public pressure, so they sent the news to the group right away. Now the whole company knows that you went to question Song Yunsheng and that you're pregnant."
Saying this, the chief secretary was a bit worried.
"However, you were really a bit reckless just now. If Song Yunsheng wants to sue you, you'll surely get into a lawsuit."
"He won't." Li Xiyu said with full confidence.
"Ah?" The chief secretary suddenly found that this young mistress seemed to know Song Yunsheng very well.
He suddenly wanted to dedicate a song called *The Green Light* to the young master lying in the hospital bed.
Li Xiyu saw through the embarrassment and probing look on the chief secretary's face. She couldn't tell the chief secretary, "Trust me. I know this guy well. He was my husband in my previous life."
She changed her mind and explained, "If he wanted to send me to prison, he wouldn't have let us go just now."
The chief secretary was convinced by her words, and most of his doubts were dispelled.
"Fortunately, we've managed to get through this."
Li Xiyu wasn't as optimistic as the chief secretary.
"We can't say we've got through it. We've just got a chance to catch our breath. Song Yunsheng will surely be extremely worried about the inheritance during this period. He probably won't have time to deal with us for the time being. I hope Song Yi'an will wake up soon."
People only know how to cherish when they lose something. At this moment, Li Xiyu finally understood how important Song Yi'an was to her.
She couldn't live without him anymore.
At this moment, Song Yi'an was still dreaming.
It was still the same dream, and still the same girl in the dream. Maybe it was because he already knew in reality that the girl in the dream was Li Xiyu, so this dream was much clearer than before. It was no longer a hazy dream where he didn't know everyone's names, like groping for stones to cross a river. Instead, he clearly knew everyone's identities and understood everyone's general stories, walking through a lifetime like a tourist.
At first, he was just a baby, playing with snowballs in the snow. His mother stood behind him and called him, "Donglin, come here. Be careful not to catch a cold."
So, he was Zhou Donglin.
In a blink of an eye, he seemed to have grown up. The baby had turned into a little boy with hair in two loops like a baby in a New - Year painting, wearing a red cotton - padded jacket, looking very festive.
Such a festive little boy met that delicate little girl. The little girl was about the same age as him, but girls seemed to develop earlier. Even at such a young age, she was already a head taller than Zhou Donglin. Poor little Zhou Donglin was beaten to the ground by Li Xiyu. At such a young age, he blurted out, "You're committing domestic violence!"
Li Xiyu didn't know what domestic violence was. She replied, "Who cares what kind of violence it is? Fists are the absolute truth. From now on, if you follow me, you must listen to me. You can only listen to me. Do you understand?"
Little Zhou Donglin looked at the lively Li Xiyu and nodded his little head heavily, "Okay."
Suddenly, it went dark in front of his eyes. When he looked again, the two little kids had grown into teenagers. Unfortunately, Zhou Donglin still couldn't stand up to a fight. However, he had managed to develop a good skill of running away. One day, he finally managed to catch up with Li Xiyu, who had left him behind and run ahead alone.
He gasped and asked her, "Didn't we agree that good brothers should share weal and woe? How could you leave me behind and run away alone?"
Li Xiyu rubbed her nose uncomfortably, rolled her eyes, and said, "Well, you know those people. We've been fighting with them since we were kids. They're cowards. They're just daring to show up because they outnumber us. They know you're the son of the prime minister. They won't do anything to you."
"Is this the reason you left me behind?"
"What do you mean by leaving? I'm your martial - arts master. Do you know what a master means? I'm teaching you kung - fu. Look, now you can run faster than a rabbit. So many people couldn't catch up with you. Besides, raise an apprentice for a thousand days, use the apprentice for an hour. In a critical moment, it's only right for the apprentice to help the master block the danger, isn't it?"
The last sentence finally convinced Zhou Donglin.
He lowered his head and said sullenly, "Okay. It's the apprentice's duty to protect the master."
Li Xiyu smiled, her eyes narrowing into a beautiful arc, making people feel happy.
"Good apprentice. I didn't spoil you for nothing."
However, they didn't always have smooth sailing. After all, the capital was a place full of all kinds of people, and Li Xiyu was the kind of person who felt uncomfortable if she didn't cause any trouble for a day. This time, she accidentally offended the local bullies in the capital. They were no longer those kids of their same size, but rough and tough men with bulging muscles. Li Xiyu and Zhou Donglin ran away at once. However, they were soon cornered by the bullies. It seemed that they were about to be caught, and their lives were hanging by a thread.
Years of habit made Zhou Donglin subconsciously look at Li Xiyu.
It had become his conditioned reflex.
