Chapter 399 - Whose Son was It (1/2)

”You have come,” a hoarse voice suddenly said, and it caused Li Manni to scream softly. She immediately tried to repress her emotions as she turned her head around. She looked at the creepy man coming out from the side and said between clenched teeth.

”Why have you asked me to come to such a place?” She felt disgusted at the thought of what this man had done to her in the past.

”Tsk, why are you so fierce?” That man spat out a mouth of saliva. His eyes were roaming around Li Manni as though he was peeling her clothes off with his look. ”I want to f*** you. Can't I do that? Quit pretending. We have already done it once before.”

”You…” Li Manni rested her hand on her tummy and retreated a step in case the man had really had any ideas on her. She turned her extremely sullen face away. ”I am pregnant. If you dare to do anything to me, I will kill you,” she sneered.

The man's small eyes bulged abruptly with excitement. He rubbed his hands together.

”My son!”

Suddenly, Li Manni felt the acid reflux in her stomach. She turned around and vomited by the side. Unknown to her, the man was excited, filled with the adrenaline of revenge.

…

Li Manni walked into the eighteenth floor with her back straight and head held high.

”Madam, you can't go in.” The secretary stood up hurriedly in an attempt to stop her. Naturally, everything about her including her voice was formalized. Li Manni gave the approaching secretary a once-over. She had a slim waist and slender legs. Who was she trying to seduce with those short sleeves?

The look from Li Manni's scorching eyes put the secretary to shame. What was she trying to mean? That the secretary was nothing but a product waiting to be evaluated? Was she treating her as an imaginary rival? The secretary was sorry, but she had no interest in another woman's man. Not every woman liked to be a third party just like the Mrs. Chu who was standing before her.

Everyone knew how she had come to marry into the Chu family.

”Do not think of something you shouldn't be thinking about.” Li Manni warned in a low voice. Her carefully drawn eyes were bulging with disdain, which was hurtful.

The secretary wanted to retaliate. However, she managed to hold herself back. She steadied herself and put on a neutral expression as she spoke in a formal voice which was filled with a secretary's professionalism. ”Mrs. Chu, Mr. CEO is having a meeting right now. You must not enter. You may sit and wait outside until he had finished his meeting.”

Li Manni combed through her well-maintained hair. She had applied an extremely refreshing and nice-smelling perfume. She smacked her lips together. That was someone else; not her.

If she couldn't even enter her own husband's office, then how was she going to continue being the wife of Chu Enterprise's CEO? She was not as stupid as that idiot, Xia Ruoxin.

The secretary could only stare with her eyes wide open as Li Manni strode ahead. She dared not obstruct Li Manni as the latter was carrying a prince in her stomach. Li Manni did not pause in her steps while the secretary took her seat again as she held a pen and jabbed it around. It was out of her hands now. She had done her part by warning the other woman.

”Lui…” Li Manni opened the office door abruptly with a bright smile on her face. When she saw the formation in the room, she suddenly felt her face burning. It went all the way to her hair roots with a crisp sound as though the blood had gushed straight to her head instantly.
