Chapter 47: Is the Child Mine?
Page 1 of 3
“Gasp, my God!”
Li Moxuan suddenly thought of something.
Gu Yaqing’s abrupt disappearance six or seven years ago. The two of them had secretly tasted forbidden fruit in the peach-blossom grove.
Could that little girl be his?
Li Moxuan’s thoughts instantly became a tangled mess.
Whether the child was his had yet to be confirmed.
But there was one thing he could be certain of: Gu Yaqing still had feelings for him. Though she appeared indifferent, it did not mean there was no chance.
“Sigh... I’ll take it slowly. I can’t rush things.”
At that moment, the ten beautiful promotional models were still standing nearby. Though they had thrown on clothes, they remained hot and alluring.
Li Moxuan glared at them irritably.
“What are you still doing here? Don’t worry, you’ll get every penny you’re owed.”
“Are you waiting for me to actually return to the room? I’m not interested in you. All of you, leave.”
The women exchanged astonished glances. None of them had expected Li Moxuan truly not to touch them.
Zhou Li stepped forward and caressed Li Moxuan’s face with some sympathy.
“Ah, I never imagined Master Li was such a devoted man.”
“It’s a pity you couldn’t fulfill your promise! But I’m not giving up. Whether you have a woman or not, I’ve set my sights on you!”
Zhou Li gave Li Moxuan a deep, coquettish look, then swayed her hips seductively and turned to enter the room.
Li Moxuan could only smile helplessly. This Zhou Li was really going to be the death of him...
...
Inside the presidential suite.
Xiang Peng and Liu Hua sat on the sofa, smoking cigars and leisurely sipping whiskey over ice.
With suggestive expressions, they teased one another.
“Heh heh, Ah Hua, you really do have a good eye. These ten women are absolutely something else, and they certainly know how to please a man. I never expected even Manager Zhou to volunteer to join the fun.”
“That caught me completely off guard.”
Liu Hua said with a laugh, “Manager Zhou has taken a liking to Master Li. You should have seen her eyes light up whenever Master Li was mentioned.”
Xiang Peng nodded.
“That’s good. If Lily can end up with Master Li, then we’ll practically be relatives by marriage. With a Grandmaster backing us, the Xianglong Group will surely soar.”
“I just wonder whether Master Li can handle it.”
Liu Hua laughed.
“Of course he can. Master Li is extraordinarily powerful—a truly formidable martial artist. Ten women like that are nothing to him!”
Xiang Peng nodded repeatedly.
“Exactly. I just wonder when they’ll be finished. At this rate, they might keep going until tomorrow morning!”

Xiang Peng rubbed his hands excitedly. Since Li Moxuan had accepted his favor, they were family from now on. With an Innate martial artist protecting him, wouldn’t the Xianglong Group take off?
Just then, the door opened.
Li Moxuan walked over to Xiang Peng with an expressionless face.
When Xiang Peng saw him, he hurried forward warmly.
“Heh heh, Master Li, why didn’t you stay and enjoy yourself a little longer? How did you finish so quickly? Could it be that Zhou Li and the others didn’t serve you properly? I’ll certainly give them a good talking-to later.”
“If you’re dissatisfied, we can always replace them!”
A faint smile appeared on Li Moxuan’s face as he beckoned to Xiang Peng.
“Come here, come here...”
Xiang Peng was delighted and leaned closer.
He assumed Li Moxuan must have had a wonderful time.
“We’re all family, so there’s no need to stand on ceremony.”
“Besides, Zhou Li volunteered herself. I never imagined Master Li would be so charming that even a beauty would throw herself into your arms!”
Xiang Peng happily assumed that Li Moxuan was about to thank him properly.
Just then, Li Moxuan suddenly reached out, seized Xiang Peng by the collar, and hoisted him off the ground.
Xiang Peng was badly startled and hurriedly waved his hands.
“Master Li, don’t be rash! What’s happened?”
“Did those girls upset you? I’ll definitely settle the score with them!”
Liu Hua also stepped forward to plead with him.
“Master Li, please calm down. Whatever it is, let’s talk it over. Don’t resort to violence!”
Li Moxuan said angrily, “You... What the hell were you thinking?”
“You called me over for no reason, saying you had a gift for me, and then I found ten women in the room.”
Xiang Peng looked somewhat bewildered.
“What? Does Master Li not like women? I can arrange some men for you instead!”
For heaven’s sake!
Li Moxuan was so furious that his eyes nearly rolled back.
“I’m not gay. I’m simply not that kind of person.”
“I was about to leave, but they kept pestering me. Then I happened to run into Gu Yaqing in the hallway. I know you meant well, but were you trying to ruin my life?”
“Tell me—should I deal with you, or should I deal with you?”
Whoosh...
The faces of Xiang Peng and Liu Hua instantly turned pale.

They immediately understood what had gone wrong.
But how could they have known that things would coincide so disastrously?
They had both seen how interested Li Moxuan was in Lin Mofei’s fiancée. He had even seemed ready to steal her away. Who could have imagined that their good intentions would end up making matters worse?
Smack!
Liu Hua slapped himself across the face.
“Please calm down, Master Li. This was entirely my idea. We only wanted to express our gratitude to you, but we never imagined we would interfere with something so important.”
“It was all my doing. If someone must answer for it, blame me. This has nothing to do with President Xiang!”
Liu Hua had followed Xiang Peng for many years. The two men had fought their way up together and were brothers who had shared life-and-death struggles.
Seeing Liu Hua take all the blame, Xiang Peng grew anxious as well.
“Master Li, this wasn’t his fault either. If you’re angry, take it out on me!”
Seeing the two men shoulder responsibility for each other, Li Moxuan could only sigh helplessly.
“Forget it. I know you meant well. But if you want to help, do it properly. Don’t arrange anything like this again.”
Seeing that Li Moxuan was no longer pursuing the matter, Xiang Peng and Liu Hua both breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiang Peng smiled bitterly.
“Thank you for your magnanimity, Master Li. I promise I won’t meddle recklessly again!”
After Li Moxuan finished speaking, he prepared to leave.
Liu Hua suddenly called out, “If Master Li is interested in Gu Yaqing, we happen to have some information.”
At those words, Li Moxuan stopped in his tracks.
“What information?”
Liu Hua’s expression turned solemn.
“The entire upper class of Wu City has been discussing Gu Yaqing lately. Everyone says she is the direct heir of the Gu family of Yuncheng, one of the city’s super-clans. Although the Lin family is one of Wu City’s Six Great Clans, forming a connection with the colossal Gu family of Yuncheng is no easy matter.”
“They say Gu Yaqing had a child before marriage—a daughter. That girl suffers from a rare form of leukemia, and even a bone marrow transplant might not be enough to cure her.”
“The Lin family supposedly invited a renowned doctor who could cure Gu Yaqing’s daughter’s strange illness. Only then did Gu Yaqing agree to marry into the Lin family and become Lin Mofei’s fiancée.”
A bright light flashed in Li Moxuan’s eyes.
“So Yaqing agreed to it for the sake of her daughter. She has no feelings for Lin Mofei?”
Li Moxuan immediately grasped the heart of the matter.
“If someone can cure her daughter, she won’t have to marry Lin Mofei.”
