Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him
Chapter 416: Having a Child by Surrogacy

Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Having a Child by Surrogacy

In an instant, numerous thoughts flashed through Lin Xifei’s mind.

What did he mean by his words?

Could it be that he wanted to have a child with her, to cuckold Zhong Lingxiao?

She quietly looked up again, scrutinizing his features carefully, and her heart was unexpectedly stirred.

Her throat dry, she said, "Young Master Zhong, please don’t joke with me. Someone of your noble stature, how could you..."

"Heh."

Zhong Yi scoffed, "You think it’s with you that I want to have a child? You flatter yourself too much."

He let go, pulled out a wet wipe from the side, cleaned his fingers, and tossed it into the trash can. Looking utterly disgusted, Lin Xifei was infuriated by being mocked.

"Lin Xifei, you are the only woman who has ever been pregnant by Zhong Lingxiao’s side. I remember when Zhong Lingxiao didn’t believe you, he even took you to have an amniocentesis for a DNA test, which proved that the seed in your belly was indeed his."

Lin Xifei was incredibly anxious, "Young Master Zhong, what do you want to do?"

Zhong Yi looked at her and said, "Don’t you want to gain status through your child? When you give birth to Zhong Lingxiao’s child, you could skyrocket in status. Who knows, you might even become the legitimate wife. Isn’t that what you’re striving for, power and wealth?"

Lin Xifei clenched her fists tightly, "Of course I want that, but he’s naturally oligospermic. The last pregnancy was already a miracle, and I couldn’t keep that child."

"Then get pregnant again."

Zhong Yi didn’t beat around the bush and directly said, "If he’s not up to it, find someone else to father the child. I’ll arrange a man for you in the next few days. Do your best."

"Young Master Zhong, are you mad! He will find out, and then a paternity test will..."

Zhong Yi’s smile was devoid of warmth, "I’ll take care of the paternity test for you. You have no other choice. Unless you want to die in Haicheng. Miss Lin, I’m giving you one minute to think it over."

Cold sweat broke out on Lin Xifei’s palms.

Taking the risk of surrogacy might elevate her status through her child.

But it also meant falling into Zhong Yi’s grasp.

And if she didn’t agree to Zhong Yi, what if he really killed her? Even if it didn’t end in death, life would be worse than death.

The second young master of the Imperial Capital’s Bell family, it would be all too easy for him to kill an actress from the entertainment circle. In his life-and-death struggle with Zhong Lingxiao, why would he care about his woman?

She had no choice but to take the risk.

Lin Xifei, grinding her teeth, said, "I agree, but Zhong Lingxiao is suspicious. How can I stay in Haicheng for a few days without arousing his suspicions? He must know you’ve returned."

"Then I am sorry, but Miss Lin must suffer a bit."

"What do you mean?"

"I’ll have someone beat you up, then completely blacklist you in the entertainment circle. That way, Zhong Lingxiao will think I’ve taken my anger out on you. After a couple of days of torment, I’ll let you go back to the Imperial Capital."

"You..." Are you trying to get revenge?

Lin Xifei felt like this was his revenge.

Miss Lin, you’ve offended me, and you can’t expect to get off scot-free. You’re a smart person, so don’t dig your own grave. You don’t actually love Zhong Lingxiao, do you? Reluctant to cuckold him? If that’s true, then I’ll have to remove a potential threat."

"No! I’ll do as you ask, I only hope that after Young Master Zhong rises to power, you will spare me. I’m just a nobody."

"Don’t worry, I’m always generous to my own people. Once it’s done, the child you give birth to will always be a young master of the Zhong family."

"A promise is a promise!"

Lin Xifei had no choice; what Zhong Lingxiao couldn’t provide, she had to seek out herself.

"Wan Jiang, have Ayao take Miss Lin back, and isolate all her assistants. Pay close attention to secrecy in Haicheng; don’t let Zhong Lingxiao know anything."

"Yes, Young Master Zhong."

Wan Jiang was trembling by their conversation. Young Master Zhong’s plan was indeed astonishing.

To make Lin Xifei have a child and cuckold the eldest young master, to backstab him, and also ensure that Lin Xifei received the punishment she deserved.

Two birds with one stone.

Wan Jiang went out and called the bodyguard named Ayao.

When Lin Xifei saw him, she was utterly shocked!

This man bore a striking four or five points of resemblance to Zhong Lingxiao, meaning that the child born was highly likely to resemble Zhong Lingxiao as well.

This plan was watertight, flawless in every way!

Lin Xifei looked back at the relaxed and casual Young Master Zhong, feeling even more fearful.

This Ayao had been in the picture for some time.

If it wasn’t for the assassination attempt in Haicheng, Young Master Zhong would have found an opportunity to coerce her into cuckolding Zhong Lingxiao!

She couldn’t escape it in any way.

Lin Xifei’s arrogance was worn away, with no will left to resist.

"Please, Miss Lin."

Wan Jiang said with a smile.

Lin Xifei walked out of the ward with a chill down her back.

Wan Jiang closed the door and, looking at Zhong Yi who was eating an orange, said, "Young Master Zhong, she seems to be scared."

Zhong Yi’s voice carried a hint of amusement, "Too timid, always so suspicious. I’ll stay in the hospital for a few more days; you keep an eye on Lin Xifei’s situation."

"Yes. But what if she doesn’t get pregnant?"

Zhong Yi looked at him and said indifferently, "I’m just taking a gamble. A Lin Xifei won’t have much impact on the grand scheme of things."

He never pinned his hopes on others.

...

The next day.

Qiao Xi arrived at the hospital on time for work.

Entering the corridor of the department, she overheard the off-duty nurses gathered together, chattering excitedly about gossip.

"There’s an incredibly handsome man in 2205, those who can afford that floor are definitely rich and noble."

"Is it a big star? Apart from President Huo and our Dean Xu, I’ve never seen such a handsome man. Come to think of it, even more exquisite than Dean Xu."

"He’s got a new face, probably not a celebrity. I saw everyone around him calling him Young Master Zhong. Do we have any Young Master Zhong in Haicheng?"

They chatted excitedly, "I’m going to change his IV later; I’ll get a good look."

"Doctor Qiao."

"Good morning, Doctor Qiao."

Qiao Xi nodded, "Good morning. This Young Master Zhong you were just talking about, what’s he here for?"

"They say he’s got pneumonia triggered by a fever. The chief himself is attending to him."

"Oh."

Qiao Xi acknowledged.

In this weather, how could he get a fever that severe, bad enough to cause pneumonia?

Qiao Xi asked further, "When was he admitted?"

"Yesterday."

"I see, go on with your duties then."

"Ok, goodbye Doctor Qiao."

Qiao Xi, carrying her needle kit, quickly made her way to the nurse’s station on the 22nd floor, just as she happened to see Shu Xue, head down, busy with nursing documentation. She placed the breakfast brought from home in front of her, "Made by Aunt Qian."

"Then I’m in for a treat."

Shu Xue lifted her head and smelled the delicious breakfast, "Only you remember me."

"Doesn’t Mr. Zhou care about you?"

Shu Xue’s expression turned unnatural, but she still managed a strained smile, "He does, of course he’s concerned about me."

Her mood had been off for the past two days.

She seemed to have realized why Zhou Yu suddenly decided to get married by certificate, but that reason made her uncomfortable.

Shu Xue didn’t confront him or lay it out clearly, simply moping around.

"What’s wrong with you..." Qiao Xi was about to speak when her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a silhouette sitting in a wheelchair down the corridor.

The distinguished gentleman from the Imperial Capital, even in a uniform hospital gown, stood out from the crowd with his extraordinary demeanor.

It was Zhong Yi.
