Chapter 490: Chapter 490: A Path of No Return

Wang Chenning told her not to get ahead of herself just because he doted on her, even calling her President Zheng. This threw Zheng Qiuhang into a panic, and she quickly explained, "Brother Ning, I honestly don’t have any other motives. I just want a child to keep me company. I’m not asking for a title, just a child born of our love. That’s my only wish, I swear. I have no other demands. Brother Ning, please don’t be angry, okay?"

As Zheng Qiuhang spoke, she planted a flustered kiss on Wang Chenning’s cheek.

Wang Chenning neither refused nor responded. He simply watched Zheng Qiuhang’s performance.

Zheng Qiuhang truly was panicked, but she quickly composed herself and once again explained to Wang Chenning her reasons for having this idea.

When a woman loves a man, she will surely want to bear his children; it’s an almost instinctual desire. Once she had this thought, she didn’t dare hide it and told Wang Chenning directly.

But if Wang Chenning felt it was inappropriate, she would listen to him.

In the future, after he got married, she would wait for another chance.

If Wang Chenning’s wife was willing to give her an opportunity, she would approach him again.

If both Wang Chenning and his wife were unwilling, then she would give up on the idea.

But no matter what, she was willing to stay by Wang Chenning’s side for the rest of her life.

"My heart is so full of you, there’s no room for anyone else. If you stop liking me in the future, just treat me as a professional manager. I’ll always help you manage your affairs, and I’ll do a very good job!"

In truth, having said all this, Zheng Qiuhang already regretted it.

’I shouldn’t have said those things right now.’

’It just made me seem like I was abusing his favor.’

When a woman gets some affection and then starts making demands, it really does give off that kind of impression.

But the words were already out. Besides, she truly did feel that way: as long as she could have a son or daughter with Wang Chenning, she would ask for nothing more. She could only continue speaking, hoping to dispel the suspicion in his heart.

To make up for the damage her impulsive words had done to Wang Chenning’s mood, she waited until his expression softened slightly, then tenderly catered to him.

She was already exhausted from their earlier exertions.

But in order to satisfy Wang Chenning, she still gave him what she believed was her most considerate and tender love.

When she finally saw a smile on Wang Chenning’s face, she leaned against him and whispered, "Whatever you want to do, I’m willing to try it with you!"

"Don’t do anything you think is clever in the future!" Wang Chenning pinched the mole on Zheng Qiuhang’s skin, squeezing until she felt a sting of pain, before speaking with a double meaning, "As long as your performance satisfies me, you won’t even need to ask. I’ll give you everything!"

"I understand!" At that moment, tears almost welled up in Zheng Qiuhang’s eyes.

’He doesn’t dislike me. He’s just afraid I’ll get arrogant and ungrateful, so he’s been training me all along.’

Of course, Wang Chenning would not allow Zheng Qiuhang to have any ulterior motives.

He needed Zheng Qiuhang to become someone absolutely loyal to him, someone who would never betray him—someone who, if it came down to it, would even sacrifice her life to save him.

Only then could he feel at ease entrusting matters to her.

Of course, he could also never let her fall in love with another man.

’Once a woman falls in love with someone else, her loyalty to you is bound to be compromised.’

’Once she has a husband, children, and a family of her own, she can’t possibly keep risking her life for you unconditionally.’

Zheng Qiuhang had chosen this path herself, and he had to make sure she stayed on it.

And he would be the one to supervise her, to make sure she walked it straight.

If her views changed, he wouldn’t force her; he would just find someone else to take over her current responsibilities.

The senior who had entered his body had always done things this way.

Many women had been fond of that senior, and he had let them help him manage his affairs.

He would promptly eliminate anyone he discovered to be disloyal. The people he kept by his side had to be loyal, especially those in important positions. They had to be unconditionally trustworthy.

As of now, there was no one Wang Chenning could absolutely trust.

Whether it was Zheng Qiuhang or anyone else, he didn’t dare to let his guard down completely.

’They need to be properly trained, both their bodies and their minds.’

"Those who accomplish great things don’t sweat the small stuff"—this was the phrase Wang Chenning often used to comfort himself. In any case, he would continue down this path without looking back.

While Zheng Qiuhang was gently helping him get ready, Li Mingchao called. He said he was preparing to bring Mo Dawei over to apologize and asked if it was a convenient time for Wang Chenning.

"Come on over. I’m at Li Garden Hall," Wang Chenning said, not refusing Li Mingchao.

Zheng Qiuhang didn’t ask any questions. After she finished helping Wang Chenning, she went to take a shower herself.

By the time she had showered and reappeared before Wang Chenning, Li Mingchao had already arrived.

Mo Dawei was kneeling before Wang Chenning in a humiliating posture, apologizing profusely. He claimed he had been ordered by someone else and had no choice but to do certain things.

"Bai Qianxun knew I’ve always followed Brother Chao, so he offered me a huge reward to do some things for him behind the scenes. He even intentionally had me leave a trail."

Mo Dawei’s words made Li Mingchao’s face fall in shock, and it also took Wang Chenning by surprise.

Li Mingchao and Wang Chenning exchanged a look. Then, Li Mingchao stared coldly at Mo Dawei and barked, "Explain everything in detail!"

Mo Dawei didn’t dare hide anything and revealed several things that neither Wang Chenning nor Li Mingchao had known.

After hearing what Mo Dawei had to say, the color drained from Wang Chenning and Li Mingchao’s faces once more!
