背着手提包,沈明已经想出了一个计划.
她走到荣兆南身边,把手按在她的额头上,轻轻地揉了揉.
"荣先生,我的头有点疼,"她说,声音微弱,仿佛几乎站不起来.
荣兆南向常书记挥了挥手,常书记随后离开了房间.
现在,只剩下他们两个.沈明继续揉着额头,扮演着一个脆弱的人的角色.
"荣先生,我们现在真的需要做孕检吗?我突然感到有点不舒服——不仅仅是我的头,还有点焦虑,"她补充道.
荣昭南听见了她的话,挑了挑眉."你怎么了?"
沈明用手捂住眼睛,透过手指偷看他."我想我有点吃惊.如果我休息一会儿,我很快就会感觉好些.
"哦?"荣兆南的声音冰冷而尖锐."你受到了什么样的冲击?你是不是因为说了太多的谎言而害怕了?
沈明的心怦怦直跳.她放下手,用明亮大而明亮的眼睛看着他.他们脸上流露出无辜的神情.
她的目光是如此真诚,以至于一瞬间,荣兆南分不清她是否在撒谎.他避开了她的目光,再次开口.
"在外面,卓航在替你处理这件事,但不是随便的一群人.我听说他们只是被冤枉了,无处可诉的普通客户.你们公司真的生产这样的产品吗?
沈明苍白的脸上突然露出一丝裂痕,抬头一看,显得倔强.
"我现在明白了,"她说,她的声音坚定."荣先生,不管你信不信,我们的产品都没有问题.没有人知道我今天要来这家医院,所以我觉得这可能跟你们的'浪漫纠葛'有关.荣先生,你不觉得这很可疑吗?为什么这些人会跟着我来这里?
荣兆南挑了挑眉,神色难以捉摸.
"你是说有人因为我的关系而把你那可怜的公司作为目标?"
沈明微微低下头.
"至少,在我们在一起的那天晚上之前,从来没有人对我们的产品说过这样的话.但现在,我们有媒体和客户出现了.荣先生,也许你在不知不觉中留下了一些'浪漫的债务'.我只是一个普通人.我请求你怜悯一点,不要让我这样做.
荣兆南咂了咂舌头,手指轻轻刮了擦眉毛.
短暂的停顿后,他示意张秘书回来."带沈小姐去做孕检."
沈明惊讶地瞪大了眼睛.这一次,她的情绪明显地表现出来了.在努力避免检查之后,他们又回到了原点.
她用一只手按着额头,假装疲惫不堪."荣先生,也许我们应该重新安排时间.我今天真的感觉不舒服.
没想到,他变得非常执着."如果你感觉不舒服,让医生仔细检查你.常秘书,带她进去.
"是的,先生."
Unable to fight his pressure, Shen Ming was eventually escorted into the examination room.
Since Plan A had failed, she still had Plan B.
After the pregnancy checkup, Shen Ming truly felt unwell. Her face was pale, and Secretary Chang helped her sit on the couch as the attending physician went to get the results for Rong Zhaonan.
For nearly twenty minutes, Shen Ming rested on the couch. She hadn't eaten all day and was beginning to feel dizzy.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw Rong Zhaonan sitting beside her, holding the report. His face was dark with anger, his expression cold.
This, too, was what Shen Ming had expected. Now that her lies had been exposed, there was no point in hiding anymore.
Before he could get angry, she decided to apologize sincerely.
"Mr. Rong, I'm sorry."
Rong Zhaonan seemed furious. His gaze bore into her, as if he wanted to burn a hole through her.
"I, Rong Zhaonan, am not so easily fooled. Shen Ming, do you know what happens to people who deceive me?"
She knew very well—otherwise, why had she gone through all that trouble the day before, letting his assistant see her connection with Su Yuyan?
"Mr. Rong, I really had no other choice... The Su family wants to acknowledge me, and I'm afraid that being on my own would leave me vulnerable, and I'd be in a lot of trouble later on."
The mention of the Su family made Rong Zhaonan's expression darken. His eyes grew colder.
She had really played her cards well.
"You've got it all wrong," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "As the legitimate daughter of the Su family, what could you possibly be worried about? Even if things go badly for you, can they get worse than they are now?"
His words were a direct jab.
Shen Ming squinted at him.
If she really were the legitimate daughter of the Su family, the legitimate daughter of Su Ning, then why would she have gone to such lengths to set up this elaborate scheme?
This afternoon, the Su family would receive the report on her background.
"Mr. Rong, you don't understand. I've seen it on TV before. In wealthy families like this, I'm just an outsider who suddenly appeared. Besides, I've heard that Su Madam doesn't just have me as a daughter—she and her current husband have also adopted a young girl."
And this young girl just so happens to be someone's precious darling—his "white moonlight."
Shen Ming spoke with sincere emotion, revealing her identity as the Su family's legitimate daughter. Even if he discovered her pregnancy was a lie, she didn't believe he would do anything about it. She felt that, from her point of view, everything she did was justified.
She continued, "Mr. Rong, growing up, there's really only been one man in my life. You. I was left with no choice but to turn to you. I hope, when I go to the Su family, you can help me, out of respect for the brief connection we had."
There was a moment of silence in the room. Rong Zhaonan seemed to be pondering something, his eyes narrowing.
"So, what exactly do you want me to do?"
This response was unexpected.
He actually wanted to help her?
Was he so easily persuaded?
She stared at him, stunned.
After a brief pause, he spoke again.
"Your background is indeed complicated. But why hide it from me? If you truly want to get rid of the child, know this—losing the child is not something trivial."
What did that mean?
Shen Ming furrowed her brows, confused.
"A life... the child..."
Rong Zhaonan tossed the report in front of her on the table, his face filled with disgust.
"Take a good look at it. It's twins—two boys. Only one month old. They're healthier than most children. And yet, you dared to deceive me, claiming it's just one child, and casually talking about getting rid of them. Shen Ming, your cruelty... I've seen it now."
Twins.
Two sons.
Her mind went blank.
She was pregnant—really pregnant—with his children?
And it was twins?
How could this be?!
