80s Military Accompanying: The Heirless Tycoon Pampers His Pregnant Wife
Chapter 5: Buy one, get one free – you're the one who's profiting!
"Zhengting hasn't returned yet?"
This was the third phone call from Ye's parents, who lived far away in the capital.
Although Zhu Jing wasn't as talkative as Wang He, she didn't want to hide the matter from Shen Fenghe. Especially after seeing the two of them cricketing in the reception room for a while before leaving the military area side by side, she imagined a scene of lovers reunited after a long separation, eager to go to the guesthouse for a passionate encounter.
So she couldn't wait to make a long-distance call to her aunt and embellish the story.
As soon as the call ended, Zhu Shiying called Ye Zhengting's dormitory building. But it was almost dark and he still hadn't returned, which made the two elders suspect that Zhu Jing wasn't lying and that absence really does make a marriage better.
Little did she know, Ye Zhengting had taken Shen Fenghe to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy daily necessities, and now he was leading her to the military region's guesthouse to check in.
He paid a week's rent in one go, intending to find her a place to stay and a job within a week.
As he escorted Shen Fenghe to her room, he looked at her honestly and said truthfully, "Afterwards, I looked for you, but I couldn't find you. If I had been able to find you then..."
"There are no ifs!" Shen Fenghe decisively interrupted him, bowed to him, and said, "Thank you, Commander Ye."
After saying that, she didn't even look at him before opening the door and going inside.
Looking at the closed door, Ye Zhengting hesitated for a moment, then turned and strode away.
"Commander Ye, this is the fifth time your parents have called!"
As soon as he entered the dormitory building, the dormitory supervisor stopped him and hurriedly shoved a landline into his arms, saying, "If you don't come back soon, I'm worried they'll come and kill us."
Ye Zhengting suddenly felt a toothache; it must be that girl Zhu Jing!
"Thanks, Lao Liu!"
Ye Zhengting carried the landline to a corner before putting the receiver to his ear. "It's me."
"Confess and you will be treated leniently!" Zhu Shiying's voice rang out immediately.
Ye Zhengting smiled wryly, rubbed his temples, and slowly said, "Don't listen to Zhu Jing's nonsense, it's not like that."
"What is it?" Zhu Shiying's voice was serious.
Ye Zhengting sighed and honestly recounted what happened at the Jinshan Town Guesthouse last month, speculating, "She must have been drugged and accidentally hid in my room, which is why... I was drunk at the time and couldn't resist."
"But the child is definitely not mine, and you should know why."
"Now that she's escaped, I'll arrange a job for her so she can support herself and her child in the future."
After listening, Zhu Shiying remained silent for a long time.
Ye Zhengting remained silent, still holding the receiver to his ear, waiting patiently.
About five minutes later, Zhu Shiying spoke again: "If you really want to take responsibility for her, you should marry her."
Ye Zhengting was taken aback, and his fingers on the receiver trembled involuntarily.
Zhu Shiying earnestly said, "You can't have children. If you want children after marriage, you'll have to adopt from somewhere else or go to an orphanage. Right now, there's a ready-made one. It's like getting one free. You're getting a good deal."
"Mom..." Ye Zhengting was both amused and exasperated.
"I'm not joking with you!" Zhu Shiying's voice became even more serious. "In this day and age, it's incredibly difficult for a woman to raise a child alone, not to mention the gossip and rumors. Just raising the child is a huge challenge."
"Your father and I aren't old-fashioned. Since we're not fortunate enough to be grandparents, what does it matter whether we're biologically related or not?"
"I don't want to marry her!" Ye Zhengting said firmly.
"Why? Didn't Jingjing say she's very pretty? Jingjing always prides herself on being the most beautiful girl in Jincheng, and she rarely praises other girls for being pretty. It's clear that this Miss Shen is really beautiful," Zhu Shiying asked, puzzled.
She's restless!
Ye Zhengting answered in his heart.
"Mom, we have no emotional foundation. That night was just a result of drugs and alcohol."
Ye Daqiang snatched the receiver and shouted, "If you don't have feelings, cultivate them! Aren't feelings all built through sleeping together? You'll have feelings after sleeping together a few more times."
"Oh dear! You shameless old man, you're corrupting our son!" Zhu Shiying scolded, snatching the receiver back.
Ye Daqiang retorted, "If he weren't bad, you wouldn't be a mother-in-law!"
Ye Zhengting's temples throbbed with pain. "Dad, Mom, let me think about it."
Upon hearing this, the two elders of the Ye family finally calmed down and hung up the phone with satisfaction.
But Ye Zhengting took three whole days to consider this.
Shen Fenghe felt uneasy being left out in the guesthouse.
She closed the book "New Edition of Traditional Chinese Medicine" in front of her, turned to look out the window, and could see the high walls of the military region and hear the training slogans coming from inside. This reminded her of her brief time with Ye Zhengting three days ago.
"He admitted we had sex... but he won't admit the child is his, and he says he can't have children. What does he mean? Does he not trust me?"
"He took me in even though he doesn't trust me, and said he'd help me find a job. What are his motives?"
"Could it be...?"
Shen Fenghe's pupils suddenly dilated, her eyes flashing with fear.
She thought of her previous life. When Li Qingshou first approached her, he wore a mask of hypocrisy. He kept sending things to her family, but when she remained unmoved, he said he would introduce her to a job so that she could be independent and no longer have to live under someone else's roof.
For her, who had been bullied by her sister-in-law for many years, this was undeniably tempting, but luckily she overheard a conversation between Li Qingshou and his lackey.
[First, give that girl some benefits, then gradually increase them, making her dependent on me and cling to me like a dodder vine. That way, she won't be able to leave me, no matter how I manipulate her.]
She is not a parasitic plant! She will not cling to anyone! Nor will she become anyone's plaything!
Shen Fenghe suddenly stood up, straightened her braids, left the guesthouse, and went to the military region again.
Although she didn't have a pass, the guard remembered her appearance and had seen her leave with Ye Zhengting that day. He also vaguely heard that she was Ye Zhengting's sister-in-law, so he immediately let her pass and even bowed to her.
Shen Fenghe came to Ye Zhengting to ask about work. If it was troublesome and required a lot of effort, she didn't want to wait and went to Jincheng to stay with her aunt's family.
Although Ye Zhengting said he would take responsibility for her, she didn't want to owe him a favor, nor did she want to keep relying on him. Even though she knew he couldn't be a beast like Li Qingshou, she had lost faith in men and didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
"Have you heard? It turns out our Commander Ye is already taken."
Two female soldiers walked up behind her, and Shen Fenghe slowed down when she heard their whispers.
"What do you mean 'already taken'? It's probably just some young girl who was helped by Commander Ye when he was on a mission. She's just being delusional and thinks that Commander Ye helping her means he likes her. It's not like this hasn't happened before."
Upon hearing this, Shen Fenghe's noodles became hot.
"Hey, isn't that Deputy Commander Lu? Let's go ask him which shameless person dared to bother our Commander Ye."
Suddenly spotting Lu Xiaohua jogging towards them, the two female soldiers waved and called out, "Lu..."
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaohua completely ignored the two of them and ran straight to Shen Fenghe, her face beaming like a blooming chrysanthemum. "Sister-in-law, are you here to see our regimental commander?"
