Chapter 309: 308: What if Miss Wen is pregnant
Upon hearing that the CEO had summoned her to the top floor, Cheng Jia’s face lit up with pure joy. These days, she had been waiting for Mo Xiuchen to find her.
Her two close colleagues noticed her elation and couldn’t resist teasing, “Cheng Jia, do you know some good news from the CEO?”
“The CEO is so kind to you.”
With a coy smile and a hint of bashfulness, Cheng Jia chided, “The CEO summoned me for official business. Don’t spread rumors. If Wen Ran hears it, she might get jealous.”
She addressed Wen Ran by her name instead of referring to her as Madam CEO.
Her identity as Mo Xiuchen’s lifesaver remained hidden, hence everyone in the company thought she held such a stature.
Thus, everyone assumed that she indeed saved the CEO’s life. Given how well he treated her – gifting her necklaces, personally arranging work for her, accompanying her to socials – they imagined many more unspeakable deeds behind the scenes.
“Is the CEO’s wife that petty?”
One of them asked, sounding surprised. She was quite close to Cheng Jia these days, hence she was more casual in her speech.
“Wouldn’t you be jealous if your husband were kind to other women?”
Cheng Jia blurted out with a laugh, not waiting for their reaction, then added, “The CEO must have something important to discuss with me. I won’t waste time with you, I’m off to see him.”
“Hurry up and come back with good news!”
Their words carried a hint of curiosity as they urged her to go on.
Cheng Jia responded with a flirtatious smile.
She swayed her hips as she left the office, took the elevator to the top floor, and knocked on the CEO’s office door.
“Come in!”
The deep, captivating voice echoed through the solid wood door, making Cheng Jia’s heart skip a beat.
She took a deep breath, pushed open the door, and fixed her most charming smile on Mo Xiuchen, who was sitting behind the large office desk.
He was not in a suit.
He was wearing a simple yet stylish white shirt, outlining his fit and appealing physique perfectly.
While he buried his head in paperwork without looking up, his noble and graceful aura was irresistible. Holding back her admiration was impossible.
After her heart skipped a beat, it started to race wildly.
Handsome would merely be an understatement for such a man.
He lifted his gaze, his striking features startling her, and his profound eyes met hers casually.
Breaking out of the trance, she stepped into his office, shut the door, and greeted, “CEO!”
Mo Xiuchen simply let out a hum and continued signing off the documents in his hand.
Only when Cheng Jia stood still in front of his desk did he look up once again. Leaning back in his chair, he scrutinized her with an intense gaze.
Feeling uncomfortable under Mo Xiuchen’s scrutiny, Cheng Jia’s hands involuntarily clenched. Trying to maintain a natural smile, she asked, “CEO, what can I do for you?”
“Are you pregnant?”
Moch Xiuchen’s straightforward question startled Cheng Jia, causing her smile to stiff.
The next moment, her carefully made-up face turned a shy shade of crimson. Lowering her head and dodging the question, she asked, “CEO, did Little Liu tell you?”
Mo Xiuchen shot a sharp glint through his narrowed eyes. With a nonchalant tone, he stated, “He said, you want to keep the child.”
Cheng Jia quickly looked up, her eyes glittering with surprise, and perhaps some complicated emotions.
She pressed her lips together, sounding a bit melancholic as she said, “Motherhood is every woman’s innate nature. If Miss Wen were pregnant, would the CEO not let her keep the child?”
Mo Xiuchen’s eyes darkened slightly, “If you want to keep the child, I will arrange a wedding for you and Little Liu immediately.”
“C…CEO!”
Cheng Jia was taken aback by the anger and firmness in his eyes.
She had merely mentioned Wen Ran, and he was already so angry. Did he think that she, Cheng Jia, was unworthy of comparison with Wen Ran?
A surge of sadness washed over her.
Was Wen Ran really that good in his eyes?
The fierceness in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes softened a bit.
His deep gaze was like an unfathomable lake, hinting at strong anger from her comparison of herself with Wen Ran. However, he was not angry because Cheng Jia was not as good as the woman he loved.
What irritated him was the fact that he could not bear the thought of Wen Ran being associated with pregnancy in any sense.
His eyes coldly swept over her while he drew out a form from a folder.
“CEO,” Cheng Jia calmly said, looking at the form in his hand, “I only blurted out about my pregnancy to Little Liu in a moment of impulse. Actually, I am well aware that Little Liu and I do not have any feelings for each other. Even if I were to bear this child, he would not be happy.”
“Impulsively?”
A hint of mockery appeared at the corner of Mo Xiuchen’s mouth. Cheng Jia was no foolish or impulsive woman; she was too cunning for that.
Cheng Jia nodded vigorously, “That night, I saw the woman Little Liu was dating. I saw her with different men in Nanqin Hotel where I used to work. I was even mocked by her. So, impulsively, I wanted to break them up.”
Mo Xiuchen put the form on the table and examined Cheng Jia with a stern gaze.
The silence did not imply agreement but the intense, chilly aura he exuded made Cheng Jia’s heart race. “Every word I said is true, CEO. If you don’t believe me, you can check the surveillance footage in Nanqin Hotel. This happened just before I transferred here.”
Initially, Cheng Jia did not recognize the woman as Tong Shishi, the woman who had splashed water on her.
When she ran into her yesterday at the hospital, she finally pieced it together.
Cheng Jia felt that destiny was helping her. She was hoping that Mo Xiuchen would find out about her pregnancy and confront her,
This way, she would get a chance to tell Mo Xiuchen that she did this solely to prevent Little Liu from being deceived by that cheap woman, Tong Shishi.
Thus, her standing in Mo Xiuchen’s eyes would definitely elevate.
Mo Xiuchen shifted his gaze and stared at the form indifferently, “Yesterday, CEO Li and CEO Zhang both recommended you for this internal training of company employees. Initially, your qualifications were not adequate to compete with others.”
He paused here.
Cheng Jia’s eyes sparkled with excitement, “CEO, are you willing to give me this opportunity?”
“Yes, I can give you this opportunity.”
Overjoyed, Cheng Jia immediately assured, “CEO, I will definitely settle my affairs as soon as possible. Also, I promise I will have no further contact with Little Liu.”
“What happens between you and Little Liu is your private affair. If the two of you are in love, I have no objections, even if you plan to get married immediately.”
Mo Xiuchen casually said, giving the impression that he had not forbidden her from keeping the child, nor from involving herself with Little Liu.
