Chapter 7: Seize the Time and Have a Child

After chatting for a while, Ye Jiayao noticed that Granny Mu was getting tired, so she immediately changed the topic and escorted her out.

At the entrance of the hospital room, Granny Mu looked at Ye Jiayao and lowered her voice, saying, "Yaoyao, you should seize the time and have a child with Xiaohan. Xiaohan is a responsible person, and having a child will surely divert his attention from other matters."

Ye Jiayao: "..."

Granny Mu looked at Ye Jiayao with hope in her eyes, and Ye Jiayao could only force herself to answer, "I'll do my best..."

Satisfied, Granny Mu then left.

Back in the hospital room, Ye Jiayao was immediately met with Mu Linghan's intense gaze.

In a cold voice, the man asked, "Have a child?"

Ye Jiayao: !!!

Does this man have super hearing?

Ye Jiayao quickly played dumb and said, "What did you say? I don't understand!"

Although she was supposed to act like the explosion had scared her into treasuring the person in front of her, the transition couldn't be too abrupt, or else she would expose her flaws.

"Heh."

Mu Linghan sneered coldly, no longer looking at Ye Jiayao, and reached out to take the file bag.

Ye Jiayao immediately took the initiative and hugged it, her eyes shining with avarice. "I risked my life to retrieve these documents."

Mu Linghan's gaze darkened slightly. "What do you want?"

Ye Jiayao held the file bag tighter in her hands. "Consider it as you owe me a favor and grant me a condition."

Conditions were the best way to protect her life. She was truly resourceful!

The man's face turned even colder. "What condition?"

"I haven't thought of it yet. I'll let you know when I do!"

Mu Linghan's expression grew stern, ready to refuse, but Ye Jiayao hastily added, "It won't go against humanity, conscience, or harm your company's interests, and it's not about divorce either!"

Mu Linghan frowned. "Ye Jiayao, what are you up to?"

"Just agree to it!" Ye Jiayao wore a stubborn expression, with a hint of fear and panic in her eyes. Facing such a gaze, Mu Linghan couldn't help but soften his heart and reluctantly said, "Fine."

After saying it, he regretted it immediately. How could he agree to something that was beyond his control?!

Ye Jiayao's eyes instantly brightened, as if countless stars were shining in them, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

A string in Mu Linghan's heart trembled slightly.

"Ye Jiayao." Mu Linghan's deep voice suddenly spoke, "What is your real intention?"

First, she deliberately teased Lu Jinming, then she tried hard to please Grandma, and now she was exchanging documents for conditions?

He realized that he couldn't understand this woman at all.

Ye Jiayao adjusted her expression, her bright and clear gaze fixed on Mu Linghan.

"If I told you that I have had an epiphany and want to live a good life with you, would you believe me?"

Mu Linghan sneered, "I believe pigs will fly."

Ye Jiayao: "..."

She knew it! The big shot was extremely suspicious. If he found out that she was after his inheritance, would he strangle her on the spot?

Ye Jiayao snorted, "I'm telling the truth. Believe it or not!"

Mu Linghan stared at Ye Jiayao's face, observing her, and suddenly thought of something, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.

"Ye Jiayao, I underestimated you."

Ye Jiayao: ????

"Suddenly changing tactics, trying to pursue Lu Jinming in a different way. Playing it safe, quite clever."

Ye Jiayao:...

Mu Linghan's voice turned unusually cold, "I don't care who you have in your mind, but you need to maintain the identity of Mrs. Mu on the surface and not do anything out of line. We can divorce in two years."

Ye Jiayao understood perfectly well. The doctor had said that Mrs. Mu could only support herself for a little over a year at most. The big shot was worried that if she found out, it would affect her health.

Although the big shot was ruthless and fierce, he was a good grandson!

As for having thoughts about Lu Jinming?

The main character belonged to the female lead. Any supporting role who coveted the main character wouldn't have a good ending. She wanted to protect her own life!

After thinking it through, Ye Jiayao raised her chin arrogantly and said, "I can agree, but in return, you can't have any improper behavior with Qin Xueyi!"

Mu Linghan sneered, "You have no right to meddle in my affairs."

"But just now, Grandma asked me to visit her often."

Mu Linghan:...

This woman actually used Grandma to threaten him?

Seeing the frustrated look on the big shot's face, Ye Jiayao's mood instantly improved.

She had received a get-out-of-jail-free card and had even put pressure on the big shot. However, she also knew the principle of knowing when to stop. She handed the documents to Mu Linghan and stared at the file bag intently.

What kind of information could make the big shot give up his own life?

The original story didn't mention any important documents. It was already a miracle that the big shot managed to escape from the car, let alone caring about any documents.

Seeing Ye Jiayao's curious expression, Mu Linghan couldn't help but speak, "It's something that could cost lives. Dare to take a look?"

Ye Jiayao's expression tightened, and she quickly retreated her neck.

"I have absolutely no interest!"

After saying that, she hurriedly left the ward.

Mu Linghan watched Ye Jiayao flee in a panic and couldn't help but curl his lips.

His selfish and materialistic wife...was still somewhat cute?

Taking back his gaze, he looked at the file bag. The bloodstains on the bag had dried, and the seal was intact, indicating that Ye Jiayao hadn't secretly tampered with it.

Mu Linghan furrowed his brows slightly, sinking into contemplation once again.

...

Ye Jiayao had been busy all night and half the morning. Her stomach was growling, so after leaving the ward, she found a small food stall near the hospital to fill her stomach. She also packed some snacks for Big shot.

Although Big shot had assistants and bodyguards to take care of his meals, she still needed to show some consideration.

Carrying the box of snacks, Ye Jiayao walked back to the ward but was stopped by the bodyguards once again.

Ye Jiayao: ???

What's going on? Did Big shot forget about me after getting the information?!!

No, the book says that Big shot is not someone who goes back on their word!

Ye Jiayao felt that something was off and tentatively asked, "What's happening?"

The two bodyguards remained silent, their expressions cold and rigid.

Ye Jiayao frowned, wanting to say something, but a man's voice came from inside, "Let her in."

The two bodyguards immediately stepped aside.

With a sense of doubt, Ye Jiayao entered the ward and saw Mu Linghan still lying on the hospital bed, leaning against it. There was a laptop on the bed table, and he was earnestly browsing through it. The documents she had given him earlier were no longer there.

Ye Jiayao opened the food box, and the aroma filled the entire room. "I brought you some soup dumplings. They taste good."

Most importantly, they were cheap and plentiful!

This was the last portion she managed to snatch, and she could hardly bear to eat it herself.

As Mu Linghan caught the scent, he immediately furrowed his brows.

"Where are they from?"

Ye Jiayao casually replied, "There's a stall near the side entrance of the hospital. They have good business, but I had to wait for quite a while."

Upon hearing this, Mu Linghan's face instantly darkened!

This woman actually bought him street stall food!! Was she trying to force him to divorce her with this method?!

"Throw it away!"

Ye Jiayao was momentarily stunned and puzzled. "It's shameful to waste food."

Mu Linghan sneered coldly, his gaze becoming gloomy. "Are you implying that I only deserve to eat this kind of garbage food?"

Indeed, this was the woman's style, constantly looking down on him and reminding him that he was unworthy of her!
