The Ancient Miss Transmigrates into a CEO’s Wife

Babies really do change with each passing day. The two little bundles grow more and more vibrant, their eyes as big and round as grapes. Their skin is young and smooth. Qi Ji stands by, rocking the baby crib.

Shen Yin is also captivated. She had never seen Zhengzheng when he was this small. When she first arrived, Zhengzheng was already talking. Now, looking at such a big baby, she can't help but think about the baby in her own belly.

"Yinyin, how is your health lately?" Qi Ji turned to ask Shen Yin.

"Quite normal actually," she answered.

Shen Yin didn't feel any discomfort lately. Unlike the morning sickness and insomnia that Qi Ji experienced, she didn't feel any discomfort during her pregnancy, except for a slightly larger belly. Other than that, there was no difference compare to before her pregnancy.

"Wow, that's great. I had severe morning sickness back then."

"You have these two beautiful babies now," Shen Yin pointed out.

Just as she finished talking, Shu Yi entered from outside.

"I came to see my two little treasures."

"What about me?" Qi Ji's voice was sweet. Shu Yi couldn't resist the sweetness even after Qi Ji gave birth.

"I'll see you first." Shu Yi playfully pinched Qi Ji's face.

"That's more like it."

After giving birth, Qi Ji was pampered by Ye Rong and Xue Jingrui. Her skin was supple, glowing, and she was in great spirits. Shu Yi pinched her cheek and couldn't resist touching it again.

"Aren't you going to see me?" Shen Yin asked with a smile.

"Look here, I'll spread the love around." Shu Yi turned around and patted Shen Yin's belly.

"Wait a minute, I think I felt the baby move in your belly." Shu Yi was surprised.

Shen Yin also patted her belly, indeed she could feel the baby's movements. However, she remained calm, having felt it several times before.

"It's amazing, in another four or five months, the baby in your belly will come to this world just like Le An and Le Yu. At that time, it will be so lively."

Shen Yin's hand rested on her belly. Yes, Zhengzheng will soon have a playmate, with the addition of Le An and Le Yu, four children will certainly liven things up.

"Speaking of which, where is my godson? Why haven't I seen him today?"

Shu Yi scanned the room but didn't spot Zhengzheng.

"He's at school."

"Ah, pre-school. So sudden. I heard that when kids first start pre-school they usually cry. Did my godson cry today?"

Shu Yi seemed a bit eager. He had never seen his godson cry much, and the idea of him crying at the start of preschool must be exciting.

"I have a video, would you like to see it?" Shen Yin took out her phone, she had secretly filmed it at the door of the classroom.

Hearing this, Shu Yi teased that Shen Yin was Zhengzheng's biggest haters. These videos are all in high definition. In the future, all of Zhengzheng's embarrassing moments may be revealed by Shen Yin.

"Quick, quick, I want a copy of my godson's embarrassing past. Once Zhengzheng gets married, it can be played in a loop at his wedding."

Shu Yi said with a laugh.

Qi Ji was in a daze at the two's antics. How could they tarnish the reputation of her son-in-law like this?

"I disagree. My son-in-law's image should not be tarnished unless you give me a copy too."

Swiftly raising her head, Qi Ji pouted, her cheeks puffing out a bit. Regardless of how you looked, she didn't seem like a woman who had children.

Shen Yin was confused about what was happening between these two. Why are they so eager to see Zhengzheng cry? Well, she would just let the two see some of Zhengzheng's remarkable moments then.

"A real man doesn't cry."

Shu Yi and Qi Ji huddled next to Shen Yin's phone. However, they were disappointed. Zhengzheng wasn't crying. Instead, like a little gentleman, he sat obediently on the chair. Initially, he seemed slightly caught off guard by the multitude of crying people surrounding him. In a while, the little guy became calm, even telling another boy next to him not to cry.

The other child really stopped crying.

"I never realized, my godson is so strong. He didn't cry when he started school."

Shu Yi kept scrolling.

"Not only does he not cry, he also has great leadership skills," Qi Ji praised Zhengzheng again.

Shu Yi's eyes were filled with envy as she spoke. How great it was that her two friends had such happy families.

"How have you been lately, Shu Yi? I mean, in terms of relationships," Qi Ji asked, serious as she sat next to the baby's cradle.

"Relationships. He's still in the evaluation period."

"What! You and Chang Zhiyuan have a chance now?" Qi Ji gasped.

"Previously, we spoke honestly and he asked me to reconsider him. So I did."

Shu Yi felt a bit embarrassed. After all, Chang Zhiyuan and she had a complicated history, and considering getting back together now was somewhat awkward.

"When do you plan to get married? The last time during Shen Yin's wedding, I didn't get enough hugs. I want to hug everyone again."

"You're just interested in the banquets, aren’t you? You wouldn't care who the groom was as long as I was marrying."

"I’m not serious! Shu Yi, you're a star. Plus, I ship you and Chang Zhiyuan. But If a more handsome, richer man who loves you more and is more suitable than Chang Zhiyuan appears, I won't object! As long as you're happy."

Qi Ji got up, grabbed Shu Yi's arm and spoke earnestly.

"If I were a man, I would certainly marry you and take you home."

Shen Yin also laughed. Qi Ji really had a way of attracting people.

"Shen Yin, Shu Yi, don’t go back at noon. The house is pretty empty and I asked the maid to cook. Have lunch here."

Ye Rong knocked and popped her head in to tell them.

Shen Yin had intended to return home, for Xu Xiuhe had arranged a driver to fetch her in the afternoon, but Shu Yi came again who was likely to give her a ride home, but now, Ye Rong had insisted they stay.

"Sister Shen Yin, Sister Shu Yi, please stay here. It's been awhile since we last had a meal together."

"Alright, but I feel like we're inconveniencing Auntie Ye," Shen Yin said.

"Not a turn-off at all, you continue having fun, I'm heading downstairs first. Oh yes, Qi Ji, don't forget to feed the babies later," cautioned Ye Rong as she left.

"I know, mom."

"Do the babies consume breast milk?" Shu Yi asked.

"Yes, mom said it's healthier for the babies and they would feel closer to me. Luckily enough, my nutrition has kept up and I haven't starved the little ones."

Shen Yin helped Qi Ji hold up Le Yu, one of the babies. Qi Ji sat down, and Le Yu lay on her lap, enjoying her lunch.

Watching Qi Ji, Shen Yin couldn't help but think of herself in a few months' time, and Zhengzheng... Zhengzheng had been drinking cow's milk since he was a child, hadn't he?

At Heyuan Group, Liu Bo was reporting on the affairs of Xu Group in Xu Xiuhe's office.

"How much of Xu Group's shares do I control now?" Xu Xiuhe asked.

"About 18%."

"A bit short still." Xu Xiuhe lowered his head, deep in thought.

"Any movements from Xu Zhengyang lately?" Xu Xiuhe asked.

Liu Bo understood. Xu Xiuhe wouldn't have asked about anything else.

"He's lost quite a bit of his say in the company. Basically, everything's been recaptured by Xu Guimin."

"How's the driver who got into the accident last time?"

"She passed away in May."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiuhe paused.

"Has her daughter returned?"

Xu Xiuhe asked. As far as he could recall, the driver had a daughter who was out of town.

"She returned for the funeral and then left. The insurance company compensated her after the accident," Liu Bo said.

"Oh? What do you mean, aren't they supposed to compensate after an accident?"

" The compensation she received was disproportionately high, way more than your average traffic accident. It was several million at the very least," Liu Bo explained.

"Why so much?"

"Last year, the driver suddenly bought a lot of insurance for himself - illness, accident, car accident."

"And he got into an accident at the end of the year?"

"I suspect that he discovered at the beginning of the year that he might be terminally ill, so he bought various insurances to leave something behind for his daughter before he passed. Then, at year end, he had an accident intentionally, but he didn't expect to survive."

"Hold on, you're suggesting that the accident was not caused by a loss of control due to his illness as he had said, but was intended for insurance fraud?"

Liu Bo nodded.

"No, if he wanted to commit insurance fraud alone, there would have been no need to have an accident when I was in the car."

He had had the driver for several years and he had been kind to him, and the driver didn't seem like a bad person.

"Search for the insurances he has bought, and check if there's any link between the insurance company and Xu Zhengyang." Xu Xiuhe directed.

In the Xu residence, Ge Xinxin and Yang Cui kept out of each other’s way.

Both Xu Zhengyang and Xu Guimin were at the company, leaving the house relatively vacant.

Ge Xinxin received another call from her ex-boyfriend.

"Come out in the afternoon, I must see you."

After hanging up, Ge Xinxin became nervous. She sweet-talked Yang Cui during lunch. After much cajoling, Yang Cui finally agreed to let Ge Xinxin go out.

"You must return before four. And, be careful about your safety. You're not alone now."

Ge Xinxin walked out with a cynical smile. She muttered about the false pretense- if it wasn't for the child in her belly, would she still warn her about safety? How hypocritical, she wanted nothing but money. She didn't wish to stay here where she had lost herself.

Mengxi Teahouse.

"The tea here is pretty good." Shu Yi commented.

"The decor isn't bad either. Although not as luxurious as Qingfan Tower, it's still quite impressive. Look at these private rooms, you can't see inside from the outside, but those inside have a clear view of the exterior. It's quite innovative."

Shen Yin was sipping her tea and looking outside when she suddenly saw a familiar face.

"Yinyin, what are you looking at? Do you know those two people outside?" Shu Yi asked.

"I don’t know them, but I've seen the woman before."

"She's pregnant, isn't she? Seems like her term is about the same as yours." Shu Yi took a sip of her tea and evaluated.

"What's this? She's pregnant and yet in a tug of war with the man. This man definitely doesn't love her, he's about to become a father and yet he's not concerned about the woman's safety. Poor woman."

"The man isn't the father of the child in her belly." Shen Yin added, taking another sip of her tea.

"Wait, he's not the child's father? Then what's their relationship? Is he her ex?"

Shu Yi, fascinated by such scenarios after reading too many CEO romance novels, loved to make wild speculations about the story.

"That woman, she was at the hospital with Xu Zhengyang for a prenatal check-up when Xu Xiuhe and I ran into them. She and Xu Zhengyang then had the audacity to show up at Qingfan Tower to freeload off the treasure box, only to be driven away by Chang Zhiyuan."

"Holy crap!" Shu Yi was utterly shocked.

"What do you think that man wants to do?" Shen Yin asked.

After observing closely, Shu Yi concluded that the man was trying to cling on to the woman, but she was constantly trying to break free.

"A clingy ex-lover?"

"Why don't we gear up, sit next to them, and eavesdrop on them?"

Shen Yin too was intrigued. She wouldn’t have bothered if this was any ordinary person. But this woman, she was connected to Xu Zhengyang.

Both Shu Yi and Shen Yin put on their masks, stepped out of their room, and settled at a booth next to the couple's table.

Both of them kept their masks on, took out their phones, and lowered their heads. It seemed like they were playing with their phones, but their real attention was on the conversation taking place at the table beside them.

"Xin Xin, I was wrong, please forgive me. I will work hard to support you, please come back, okay?"

"Now you want me to go back? What were you doing earlier? Are you even a man? You even let your girlfriend serve drinks to men, are you lacking a brain? I told you, stop bothering me. I'm not stupid, I know how to choose."

"Xin Xin, trust me, I had a hard time. I was wrong, please forgive me and come back to my side." The man pleaded.

"What hardship? You can't handle it and want a woman to face it? If you send me to another man's bed once, there will be a second time. Why should I trust you?"

The woman's expression was cold, not willing to look into the man's eyes.

"It won't happen again, I will definitely treat you and our child well in the future."

"Our child? Do you have the audacity to mention it? Shut up, don't mention it again, this child is mine, it's between me and Xu Zhengyang, it has nothing to do with you."

The woman became angry; her voice was a bit louder.

Upon hearing this, Shu Yi felt like she had just bitten into another juicy gossip. Was it that explosive?

[Yin Yin, what's happening with them? Is it what I'm thinking?]

[The child is hers and this man's, but she deceived Xu Zhengyang.]

"How can there be no connection? You're carrying my child, living in someone else's home, and have my child call another man "dad"? You tell me, is there a connection or not?"
