Xiao Hong saw Ling Tianya and Ruan Zeyan, and there was a hint of panic and embarra.s.sment on her face. She still walked up and placed the fruit plater on the coffee table. “Miss, the Chairman said that these are the fruits that you like,” she said in a gentle voice. “They were purchased this morning and they are all very fresh. Please try some.”

Ling Tianya looked at Xiao Hong thoughtfully, and her gaze went back and forth between her and Ling Tao.

Xiao Hong was in her early thirties, a few years older than Ling Tianya. She had worked for the Lings since graduating from university. For the first two years, she was just a clerk in the administrative department. Because she was a hard-worker and a quick learner, she was promoted to the executive office in the third year and became the chief secretary of Ling Tao soon afterward.

During her tenure at the Lings, she had mostly kept a low profile. In the past few years, Xiao Hong had only been to the Ling residence a handful of times, all of which were work-related occasions.

However, today she was dressed casually and was clearly not there to work. Was she here for personal reasons?

Ling Tianya looked at Ling Tao inquisitively with her eyebrows raised.

Ling Tao touched his nose uncomfortably and gestured to Xiao Hong to sit next to him. After a long pause, he finally said, “Xiao Hong is pregnant, and the child is mine.”

Although Ling Tianya had expected Xiao Hong’s appearance to be related to her father, she was still surprised when she heard that she was pregnant.

Noticing the change on Ling Tianya’s face, Ling Tao said, “I know that this is a little sudden, and you may find it hard to accept immediately. But since Xiao Hong is pregnant with my child, I am obligated to be responsible for her.” Ling Tao looked determined.

Ling Tianya looked at Xiao Hong. “Miss Xiao, can I talk to you alone?”

Xiao Hong had not expected that Ling Tianya would want to talk to her alone. She felt a little unnerved and looked over at Ling Tao.
