Chapter 1275: Chapter 1274: This Child Cannot Be Kept

Chu Ci thought for a moment, "Bring it over."

The servant immediately brought the recipe, a bit nervous. Chu Ci glanced at her, then casually looked, frowning after a while, "Is the missus eating just this little staple food?"

She’s still breastfeeding the child.

The servant was a bit embarrassed and awkwardly said, "The missus said she wants to maintain her figure."

Now, this astonished Chu Ci a bit; he stared at the servant for quite a while before speaking, "Is that what she said?"

The servant feared he would get angry and added, "All these recipes are adjusted by a nutritionist, the nutrition is definitely adequate, please don’t worry, sir."

Admittedly, this slightly amused Chu Ci, who soon finished his breakfast and took the car keys outside, sat down inside the car. After a moment holding the steering wheel lost in thought, he grabbed his phone to dial Zhao Mo Ran’s phone.

When the phone rang, upstairs in the master bedroom, she was slightly surprised but quickly answered the call. She wouldn’t provoke Chu Ci unless necessary, because she feared his torturous methods.

Her voice was slightly hoarse: "Chu Ci, have you gone to the company?"

Downstairs, Chu Ci sat in the car, a calm smile playing on his handsome face: "In a while. Oh, there is a document in my study, could you bring it down to me?"

She was surprised because the study... she always avoided suspicion, hardly stepping in, besides he hasn’t gone up, why not get it himself?

Thinking that way but still complying, she softly replied, "Wait a moment."

Chu Ci hung up the phone satisfied.

Upstairs, Zhao Mo Ran hung up and uncertainly glanced at her phone, then covered Xiao Xunxun with a small blanket before tidying her own clothes heading to the study.

There’s nothing special in Chu Ci’s study, a standard business style, all dark wood furniture, very clean without excess items, except for a photo frame on the desk.

That photo was of Chu Yan, eighteen-year-old Chu Yan, smiling with a row of small tiger teeth, very bright.

Zhao Mo Ran silently picked it up, glanced at it, then put it down, afterward, found the document he mentioned and went downstairs.

Chu Ci’s car was already started, one side door was open, he sat neatly dressed inside playing with his mobile phone. Zhao Mo Ran had to admit that aside from status, Chu Ci himself was quite attractive, even without spending money would have young girls flocking to him...

She slowly walked over, Chu Ci also put down his phone.

"Is this the one?" She handed it to him.

Chu Ci took it over, genuinely flipped through it, then smiled, "Yes, this one."

He wanted to say something, then suddenly remembered something, his expression changed, looking over at her.

Zhao Mo Ran didn’t understand, "If this is it, I’ll be heading back."

He suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, his voice somewhat sinking, "Wait a moment, I have something to ask you."

She pressed her lips, "What?"

He scrutinized her, intently not missing any change on her face, pondering before speaking, "Did you see it?"

"What?" She honestly didn’t understand right away.

Chu Ci originally wanted to ask about the photo frame, but reconsidered and said nothing, just smiled slightly, "Go back, still in your robe."

The early autumn day was neither cold nor warm, indeed unsuitable outside, although the servants were elderly, there were always gardeners or some. Chu Ci was quite particular.

With his words, Zhao Mo Ran looked down at her attire, found it odd, he never previously paid attention to such details, but she still adjusted it, turned, and left.

Chu Ci watched her quietly, waited till she entered the hall, then stepped on the gas and drove away from the villa...

Inside the villa, Zhao Mo Ran did not go straight upstairs but took advantage of the sleeping Xiao Xunxun’s time to eat breakfast, she indeed was controlling her diet to maintain her figure, not for Chu Ci but for herself...

About this marriage, she didn’t know how long it would last, even if being Mrs. Chu for life she wished to preserve a part of herself, at least able to look in the mirror without seeing the neglected appearance of an abandoned wife.

She delicately ate breakfast, a servant on the side chimed in, "Missus, sir cared for you just now, concerned about your daily diet, I showed him your recipes."

Her dining hand paused, looked up, "What did he say?"

"Sir said you’re eating too little." The servant promptly added, "But I said the recipes were drafted by a nutritionist, wouldn’t affect Xiao Xunxun’s nutrition."

Zhao Mo Ran casually replied with a sound, saying nothing more, continued her detailed breakfast.

The servant felt awkward, watched a while, then cautiously inquired, "Missus, did I say something wrong?"

"No." Zhao Mo Ran smiled kindly, "Don’t overthink."

The servant didn’t understand but being older pondered a bit realized why Missus seemed indifferent. Not anger at her, just lacking concern for sir, ultimately void of affection... that’s all.

Perhaps in other women’s eyes, sir was handsome, wealthy, noble-born, yet when Missus married sir things couldn’t have been worse, plus the birth day event Missus probably couldn’t forget either.

The servant dared not think further...

Zhao Mo Ran indeed wasn’t upset with her, finished breakfast and went upstairs to accompany Xiao Xunxun, picking a book she liked to read for the morning.

In the afternoon, something happened. Not at home but with Chu Ci.

Song Yunfei was pregnant and sought out reporters to release the news, instantly all major media were about Chu Ci’s extramarital affair, furthermore, intimate photos previously with Song Yunfei surfaced, some in cars, restaurants, malls, all showing a romantic demeaner...

Suddenly, online discussion exploded, though Song Yunfei’s previous exposure existed, it never matched the buzz of pregnancy, by midday Yin Secretary’s phone almost vibrated to pieces...

She held the hot phone standing in Chu Ci’s office, softly said, "Chief Chu, what to do now?"

Chu Ci glanced at her.

Yin Secretary pressed her lips, asked again, "Do you want the child?"

Chu Ci inhaled a puff, then decisively extinguished the cigarette stub, firmly said, "I won’t have children outside."

In other words, he only wants Zhao Mo Ran’s legitimate child.

Yin Secretary understood, promptly said, "Then I’ll immediately have Miss Song found, and about the media..."

Chu Ci spoke coolly, "Give the male actor working with her a sum to claim this child, shutting Song Yunfei’s mouth, once found immediately take care of the child."
