147 Got Her Pregnan (2/2)

Silence.

Iris waited patiently. After about ten seconds, she heard him sigh deeply.

”Actually, she was one of my bodyguards but she had to quit about two years ago. That's why I can personally attest to her skills.”

”Hmm. Why did she quit?”

Another few seconds of silence.

”She got pregnant,” he said.

”Oh. You mean you got her pregnant?”

”Yes.”

Iris' eyes widened. She only asked to tease him a bit, but her question actually hit the nail on the head. This was getting more and more interesting.

”Did she keep the baby?” she continued to ask.

”Yes.”

”Oh.”

So this was the reason why Long Hui went out of his way to recommend someone to his sister. The woman was his child's mother.

”Does Father know?” she asked after the pause.

”I didn't tell him but I'm sure he knows. He keeps tabs on all of us his children.”

”Hmm...”

”Will her being a mother be a problem for you?” he asked her.

”If I say yes, what would you do?” Iris wanted to test how far Long Hui would go for this woman.

”I really hope that you'll hire her.”

”Why?”

”So that I can see her and my child. You're my sister and you coincidentally need a female bodyguard. If you hire her, I'll have a reason to regularly see them.”

Iris couldn't stop herself from laughing.

”I am serious here, ” he said through gritted teeth.

”So you only want to use your sister to get closer to them. What a hassle. If you really want to see her and your child on a regular basis, why don't you just take her as your wife or mistress? Elder Brother, you're being so complicated and you're even involving me, an innocent bystander, in your schemes”

”Do you really think that I didn't try?” Long Hui sounded exasperated. ”I want my child to be legitimate, so I proposed marriage to her but she rejected me! She's the one who left me! I tried but she gave up on us! Do you understand?!”
