After Being Reborn, Her Only Mission Is to Love Him-Chapter 666 - 664: Awakening

She had actually considered not wanting this child, but since Hao Jiayi had spoken the words first, it irritated her.

What right did this woman have to not want her son’s child?

Hmph! Pretentious!

When Hao Jiayi saw that Xiao Jinglan had taken the bait, she immediately pretended to be troubled and said, "Aunt Xiao, I know you don’t like me, and I’m aware that Amo has no intention of marrying me right now, so this child... this child can’t be kept. If he is born, he’ll end up being illegitimate."

Xiao Jinglan was slightly startled upon hearing this; she did raise a valid concern.

Xiao Mo was already illegitimate, and if his first child turned out to be illegitimate as well...

Her eyes narrowed, and her heart grew restless along with her thoughts.

Her son was illegitimate and still hadn’t acquired an appropriate status.

Was her son’s child destined for the same fate?

In the past, Xiao Jinglan might have had the patience to scheme over this matter, but now... her days were numbered.

If she could see Xiao Mo’s child within her lifetime...

As Xiao Jinglan thought this, her gaze towards Hao Jiayi grew much warmer.

Initially, she followed Song Gu to become Mrs. Song, but after she had a child, her thoughts slowly started to shift.

She wanted her own son to inherit the Song Family wealth.

Xiao Jinglan didn’t see anything wrong with her desires.

She might have started with a status that made it impossible to become Mrs. Song, but in the end, she had succeeded.

Now, all she wanted was for her son to become the president of the Song Group.

Her son was Song Gu’s son, and it was only right for him to inherit the Song Group; she saw no problem with that.

On the contrary, she even found Old Master Song, who had always hindered this matter, particularly annoying.

If not for the fact that Old Master Song was currently the one calling the shots in the Song Family, would she need to curry favor with that old coot?

A lightbulb seemed to go off in Xiao Jinglan’s mind as she realized something.

Her eyes narrowed, and she took Hao Jiayi’s hand, "This child must be kept. As for the issue of legitimacy, I will have a good talk with Xiao Mo. You just rest easy and focus on your pregnancy."

Hao Jiayi was slightly taken aback; she had thought it would take a few more tries before Xiao Jinglan would relent.

She hadn’t expected it to be this easy.

Hao Jiayi was a bit incredulous.

But she quickly recovered, and pretending to be flattered, she nodded, "Aunt Xiao, I understand. I will take good care of him. After all, this is also my first child with Amo... If he can be born with a proper status, how could I possibly not want him?"

"That’s settled then. I’ve said my piece, so don’t you worry about it. Just take care of yourself," Xiao Jinglan frowned displeased, glanced at Hao Jiayi, and added, "I’ll give you some money later for your care."

"I understand, Aunt Xiao."

"Mm."

The days of spring were much longer than those of winter, and although the early morning temperatures still held a chill, they were considerably warmer than in winter.

Lu Zhaozhao rubbed her sleepy eyes before turning to look at Song Sinian beside her.

Yesterday, as she was sleeping, she woke up to find Song Sinian gone.

She guessed that Song Sinian had gone out because of Xu Zhenzhen’s situation, so she waited a while, but exhausted from the ordeal, she fell back asleep.

Lu Zhaozhao couldn’t help but sigh when she woke up to find it was already the next morning.

A familiar voice came from beside her, "Awake?"

His voice was low and slightly nasal from just waking up; it tickled Lu Zhaozhao’s heart.

She turned around and snuggled into Song Sinian’s arms, "Mmm, I’m awake."

She was about to say something when she felt a change in Song Sinian’s body, and she tensed up suddenly, freezing in place.

The memories of what happened yesterday had not yet faded, and now she was somewhat flustered by the situation at hand.

Her mind even calculated a bit, wondering if she would be able to get up after another round of exertion.

Song Sinian didn’t notice Lu Zhaozhao’s expression and reached out to embrace her, but she blocked him with her hand, "I, I haven’t had breakfast yet."

"..."

Song Sinian was also taken aback for a moment, then he instantly understood when he saw her blushing face.

He chuckled softly, "I just want to hold you, won’t do anything else."

"..."

Lu Zhaozhao blinked her watery eyes but still didn’t move.

It was then that Song Sinian remembered that he had said the same thing before, and then did something regardless...

A flicker of embarrassment crossed his eyes, and he cleared his throat, "I promise, today I really won’t."

Lu Zhaozhao twisted a little where she was but eventually relaxed her hand and snuggled honestly into Song Sinian’s arms.

However, her movements were stiff, which amused Song Sinian.

His wife had already married him, but she was still so shy, what to do...

Thinking this, Song Sinian couldn’t help but kiss her lovely cheek.

Lu Zhaozhao’s body noticeably softened, and then she raised her head to ask Song Sinian, "Husband, did you go out yesterday?"

She was just tentatively asking, unsure whether Song Sinian would tell her the truth.

Song Sinian’s lips tightened slightly, considering yesterday’s events, he naturally did not intend to tell her everything.

But there was a part of it that he could mention.

He nodded slightly and propped his chin on Lu Zhaozhao’s head before speaking slowly, "I did go out last night." frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

"Does it have to do with Zhenzhen’s matter?" When she thought of the suddenly missing Xu Zhenzhen, her brows instinctively furrowed.

She wondered if paying more attention to Xu Zhenzhen at the beginning could have prevented this incident.

Song Sinian saw through Lu Zhaozhao’s thoughts at a glance.

His large hand stroked her back, soothingly whispering in her ear, "It’s related to Xu Zhenzhen, and it’s good news."

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"

She had been restless these past few days because she was worried about Xu Zhenzhen. Otherwise, Song Sinian wouldn’t always be engaging her in such activities, trying to tire her out.

Song Sinian nodded lightly, "Yes, we have identified the people who took Xu Zhenzhen away, and we know her current situation is safe. They don’t plan to hurt her, so you don’t need to blame yourself. Okay? You’re not a god; you can’t control everything."

Lu Zhaozhao’s eyes reddened slightly, "What was the reason behind taking Zhenzhen away? What do they want?"

She didn’t understand why Xu Zhenzhen, living well in China, would be kidnapped. Song Sinian mentioned she wasn’t in any life-threatening danger, but she was still a bit uneasy.

"Because Xu Zhenzhen is that person’s child, and he needs an heir, so..."
