Then, he took his coat and walked past her to the master bedroom. The door was slammed shut with a bang. When he entered his room, his expression softened a little. At least she knew what was good for her and did not move into the master bedroom.

However, he soon realized that something was wrong. Ming Yue had definitely entered his room.

Ming Yue stood awkwardly in the living room. She picked up the remote control and turned off the television. In fact, she had seen the young master a few times before. Occasionally, during school holidays, her father would bring her from the countryside to the city and she would stay in the Liu family’s butler’s dorm for a few days.

At that time, when she met the young master, she would greet him but he would reply indifferently. Sometimes, when he was in a good mood, he would throw her an ice cream or lollipop. Although the two of them did not talk much, he did not hate her.

However, two months ago, the two of them had slept together because of an accident. Since then, the way the young master looked at her had completely turned into disgust. She had explained it many times, but the young master did not believe her. She was also a human with feelings. Ming Yue was not a fool. Anyone who was hated or misunderstood would feel uncomfortable.

Suddenly, the door of the master bedroom was pulled open from the inside. The sudden voice shocked her and she looked over hesitantly. Liu Jingxing’s bone-chilling voice sounded. “In the future, you’re not allowed to enter my bedroom without my permission, let alone touch my things!”

Ming Yue gulped. “I went in just to help you clean up…” Before she could finish, she was interrupted by the other party. “I don’t need your help.” Ming Yue lowered her eyes and nodded. “Alright, I’ll remember. I hope you can be like before and understand your position. Don’t do things that cross the line.”

Ming Yue could no longer raise her head because of his hurtful words. She did not know how long she sat on the sofa. Just as she was about to return to her room to rest, someone knocked on the door. Outside the door was a young man in a black suit. He looked to be less than 1.8 meters tall and had a thin figure. He was holding a large suitcase in his hand. When he saw her, he was stunned. “I’m sorry. I must have come to the wrong place. Sorry to disturb you.”

“It’s fine.” Ming Yue closed the door. The next second, there was another knock on the door. Ming Yue was puzzled and opened the door. It was the same young man as before. “I’m sorry, does President Liu live here?” Perhaps because the temperature was too high, Ming Yue saw that his face was red. “Hello, I’m President Liu’s assistant.” After seeing the woman nod, Secretary Tang brought the suitcase into the house. “These are CEO Liu’s change of clothes and toiletries. Then, I won’t disturb you anymore.”

After saying that, he turned around and left, as if he had encountered an incredible secret. No wonder President Liu had suddenly asked him about a woman’s pregnancy today. No wonder he said that he wanted him to cherish his free time. It seemed like he was hiding a woman in his house and was even having a child?

Hmph, a man who doesn’t mean what he says. No wonder he ran out in a hurry as soon as he got off work. He didn’t expect President Liu to say that women and children were burdens when he was about to get married. Whatever came out of a man’s mouth really shouldn’t be trusted. He shouldn’t have trusted him!

Boohoo, he really wanted a wife too.

Ming Yue dragged the huge suitcase into the house and closed the door. Liu Jingxing must have heard the sound and walked out of his room. He took the suitcase from her hand and entered the master bedroom without saying a word to her.

Ming Yue was already used to it and returned to her room without a word. It was almost eleven o’clock. In order for the baby to grow up healthily, it was better for her to go to bed early. Unexpectedly, just as she got into bed, someone knocked on her door and her phone chimed.

She sat up, turned on the bedside lamp, and unlocked her phone. “Come out. Grandma wants to video call us.” Ming Yue was slightly stunned, but she quickly reacted. So that was the case. No wonder he wanted to come here so late at night.

She got up and opened the door. He saw Liu Jingxing sitting on the sofa. He was wearing dark blue pajamas with long sleeves and long pants. “Come and sit here.” Ming Yue walked over and sat down. There was a distance of a single pillow between the two of them. Liu Jingxing’s eyes turned cold. This woman was playing hard to get with him? Why was she sitting so far away? Grandma would be able to tell that something was wrong at a glance. He snorted and got up, sitting closer to Ming Yue.

Ming Yue’s body instantly tensed up. She did not know what kind of detergent the young master used, but there was a very clean fragrance. After that night, this was the first time the two of them were so close.

Liu Jingxing made a video call, and the old madam picked up quickly. Her smiling face appeared on the screen. Seeing the two of them sitting together intimately, she was very satisfied. Ming Yue tried her best to look relaxed. “Old Madam… Grandma, good evening.”

The old madam had long asked her to call her grandma. She was still not used to it.
