Chapter 237: Yan Siming VS Gong Tianhao

Translator: Lonelytree
“Chief, Chief!”
Just as Old Master Gong was about to fall asleep, he heard Xiao Wang’s call.
He knew that his brat had arrived.
He immediately opened his eyes and looked outside. He asked, “Xiao Wang, what time is it now?”
Xiao Wang immediately replied, “Chief, it’s nine o’clock in the morning!”
“Nine in the morning!” Old Master Gong immediately asked, “Is the brat here?”
Xiao Wang hesitated for a moment before replying, “The eldest young master is at Taoyuan Village, but he went to find Xiao Lingyu and hasn’t arrived here.”
“What?” Old Master Gong immediately sat up from the bed and asked in disbelief, “Xiao Wang, are you sure? That brat really went to look for Lingyu?”
Xiao Wang said earnestly, “Chief, I’m sure. The moment eldest young master entered the village, the villagers noticed him. Many villagers saw him go directly to the Xiao family.”
Xiao Wang helped Old Master Gong up and asked in puzzlement, “Chief, why did eldest young master go to the Xiao family in such a hurry? Could it be because of those five thousand catties of strawberries?”
But it couldn’t be.
His eldest young master was someone who did big business. 5000 catties of strawberries was nothing. He didn’t even need to come in person. Old Master Gong could negotiate everything for him, and the negotiation was successful.
Xiao Wang was confused.
On the other hand, when Old Master Gong heard this, he fell silent. His expression became serious, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Then, his voice became a little stern as he said, “Since he went to look for Xiao Lingyu, he should be back in a while. Let’s wait at home.”
Xiao Wang nodded.
…
When Yan Siming heard Gong Tianhao’s excuse, he said with a smile, “Mr. Gong is a big businessman. To think that he would come here just for a little strawberry is really admirable.”
Gong Tianhao examined Xiao Lingyu’s reaction first. When he noticed the lack of expression on her face, he felt a little disappointed, but at the same time, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.
It meant that woman wasn’t after power.
Then again, she could have found out about his identity from the hotel that day. The hotelier would have told her. However, Xiao Lingyu did not do that.
With her pregnancy, she could force her way into the Gong Family. However, she didn’t do that either.
The first time she met, she recognized his limited edition car and him in the backseat. If she were after his money and influence, she would use that opportunity to get close to him. However, she didn’t.
If anything, she tried her best to stay away from him.
Thinking of this, Gong Tianhao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He would have to work hard to win over the mother of his child.
Gong Tianhao’s handsome face was expressionless. He said indifferently, “There is no big or small business. Every business is important.”
Yan Siming, “…”
After a short exchange of blows, Yan Siming realized that Gong Tianhao was indeed worthy of being the richest man in charge of the country’s largest enterprise. His skin was thick enough!
Could this be the difference between himself and Gong Tianhao?
Yan Siming was a little sad. But he quickly picked himself up.
This man had inexplicably become his number one love rival. Gong Tianhao was powerful, but he couldn’t admit defeat so easily.
Yan Siming’s bewitching face smiled and asked, “Mr. Gong, nice to meet you. It just so happens that I also want to talk to Lingyu about buying strawberries. Why don’t we sit down and talk together?!”
Then, he glanced at the suitcase beside Gong Tianhao. “Mr. Gong, Lingyu said your grandfather lives here. Are you sure that you don’t want to go visit him first?” He was reminding Gong Tianhao that Old Master Gong would not be happy to know if he had been placed lower than Xiao Lingyu.
Of course, Yan Siming wasn’t reminding him out of kindness. He just didn’t want Gong Tianhao to have too much contact with Xiao Lingyu.
Furthermore, he knew the Gong Family wouldn’t accept a woman pregnant with an illegitimate child as their daughter-in-law.
‘One moment…’ Yan Siming suddenly realized something. ‘If Gong Tianhao’s target is also Xiao Lingyu, how can he not notice that she’s pregnant? He is the young master of a noble family in the capital. How can he run to the countryside and marry a woman who is pregnant with another man’s child? Will his family allow him?
‘Unless, of course, he only wants Xiao Lingyu to be his mistress. He doesn’t want her as a wife.’
At the thought of this, Yan Siming suddenly had a feeling that there might be a silver lining.
Because it was obvious that with Xiao Lingyu’s pride, she would never agree to be a man’s lover.
Otherwise, she would have already agreed when they were at City Z.
On top of that, he heard that Xiao Lingyu’s strawberries and vegetables had been sold for two to three million RMB. If this continued, it should not be a problem for her to earn more than ten million a year. She was becoming a rich woman. Why would she settle to be another man’s mistress?
‘Why didn’t I think of that earlier? I was being dumb too. Most mistresses were after the rich man’s money and power. It was foolish of me to ask Xiao Lingyu to be my mistress.’
For a moment, Yan Siming’s uncertainty about his feelings made him confused. He had no idea what position Xiao Lingyu really occupied in his heart.
However, there was a voice that kept telling him that he could not give up just like that. Otherwise, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Yan Siming’s thoughts spun. His heart was at a loss. Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu didn’t know about all these.
Gong Tianhao glanced at Yan Siming and said coldly, “This has nothing to do with President Yan.”
Yan Siming, “…”
Gong Tianhao reminded him, “I’ll say it one more time. Get out of my way!”
It was just a simple sentence, but it was overbearing like an order from a King!
He only wanted to talk to Xiao Lingyu. He couldn’t let this man block his way.
Of course, Yan Siming wasn’t weak. He didn’t give up Xiao Lingyu just because of Gong Tianhao’s words.
He still stood firmly in front of Xiao Lingyu.
Gong Tianhao narrowed his eyes and shot a sharp gaze at Yan Siming. He frowned and was very dissatisfied.
Just as Gong Tianhao was about to step forward and push Yan Siming away, Xiao Lingyu, who was standing behind Yan Siming, sighed lightly and said, “Brother Yan, step aside. Young Master Gong isn’t going to eat me. There’s no need to be so defensive.”
Xiao Lingyu was no fool. She could see the competition between these two men. However, what she was concerned about was only Xiao Tong.
Nothing was more important than Xiao Tong.
She did not know why Gong Tianhao suddenly came here to look for her, but her instincts told her that this was not something she was happy to see, nor was it something she wanted.
Yan Siming backed out unwillingly, but he stood beside Xiao Lingyu protectively.
He whispered to her, “This man is a big business owner. Rumor has it that he is a cold, heartless, and ruthless man. He must have a motive for coming to look for you. You have to be careful and don’t fall for his tricks.”
Gong Tianhao, “…”
Yan Siming’s whisper was loud enough that he made sure Gong Tianhao could hear him. Gong Tianhao had underestimated this Yan Siming.
When Yan Siming said this, he was a little pleased with himself. ‘Since you can use libel, why can’t I?’
Yan Siming told Xiao Lingyu about the rumors he had heard about Gong Tianhao. Like Gong Tianhao, he was only telling the truth…
Gong Tianhao’s deep and sharp gaze swept across Yan Siming.
‘This man…’
Then, he saw Xiao Lingyu nod and say, “Brother Yan, you’re worried for nothing. Why would Young Master be attached to a common woman like me?”
“What do you mean?” Yan Siming was a little puzzled.
Young Master Gong’s brows were also slightly furrowed.
“I have no power, no status, no looks, and no figure! I am as common as they come.” Xiao Lingyu explained calmly.
Chairman Yan and Young Master Gong, “…”
It was true that Xiao Lingyu didn’t have power and status, but no looks and no figure? That was a lie.
Yan Siming had seen Xiao Lingyu without her glasses. She had a delicate appearance and a kind of self-confident, pure, and proud beauty.
Of course, Gong Tianhao knew Xiao Lingyu was underselling herself.
That night, although it was a little dark, and Xiao Lingyu was wearing a pair of large goggles, when Gong Tianhao’s hand touched her, he could feel that her skin was smooth and tender. When she leaned into his embrace, it was soft and warm.
Love at first sight happens because of a person’s looks. The two men didn’t fall in love with Xiao Lingyu at first sight, but they were impressed by her appearance.
Otherwise, Yan Siming wouldn’t have bought a large company for her. He still remembered her after all these months because she was a beautiful and proud woman! Would he have cared if she was an ugly woman?
Gong Tianhao didn’t place that much emphasis on a woman’s appearance, but who didn’t like beauty?
It might be superficial, but the two men liked Xiao Lingyu because of her appearance. However, the real reason that really drew them in was Xiao Lingyu’s personality and charm.
When Xiao Lingyu claimed that she was just a common girl, they really didn’t know what to say. A woman’s heart was so hard to read!
They didn’t want to say something to offend her.
Gong Tianhao coughed. “You might be a common woman, but someone will still like you!”
Xiao Lingyu, “…”
Yan Siming, “…” He was so shocked by Gong Tianhao’s reply. That was not the correct way to talk to a woman. Yan Siming had many experiences around women. He knew that they liked to hear praises.
Gong Tianhao didn’t praise her but instead confirmed that Xiao Lingyu was indeed a common woman. Some would see that as an insult.
Yan Siming chuckled, “Mr. Gong, it looks like you need to have your eyes checked. How is my Lingyu a common woman?”
Gong Tianhao answered seriously, “My eyes are normal. And when is she your woman?”
Yan Siming, “…” He really had trouble conversing with Gong Tianhao. He would answer every question with a question. Yan Siming glanced at Xiao Lingyu. She didn’t appear to be offended by Gong Tianhao’s words.
Xiao Lingyu said, “Mr. Gong, you’ve been rushing for a whole day already. Why don’t you sit down and take a rest? My family only has some ordinary tea and fruits. I hope you don’t mind.”
Gong Tianhao placed his suitcase to the side and his suit on top of the suitcase. Then, he sat at the stone table.
Xiao Lingyu didn’t say anything and returned to the house.
After Xiao Lingyu left, Yan Siming stretched out his hand and said with a faint smile, “Mr. Gong, nice to meet you!”
Gong Tianhao said indifferently, “Nice to meet you!”
“I’ll get straight to the point.” Yan Siming’s smile immediately turned serious. He said, “No matter Xiao Lingyu agrees to be my woman or not, I won’t allow any man to hurt her again.
“So, Mr. Gong, what is your motive? Your reason for coming here for the strawberries can only fool an idiot. Xiao Lingyu, and I definitely don’t believe it.”
Gong Tianhao smiled coldly and immediately asked, “Then what do you think my motive is?”
Yan Siming, “…”
‘Can’t we have a normal conversation? Must you do this every time?’
But Yan Siming had to admit that this was a very effective trick. Yan Siming had never been so aggrieved.
Yan Siming didn’t beat around the bush. He sneered and said, “So are you here to pursue Xiao Lingyu?”
“If you think I am, then I am.” Gong Tianhao said lightly.
Yan Siming, “….” He really wanted to slap this man.
