Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All Chapter 1389 - 1230: Shame

Han Bin offered his reply.
A substantial foreign trade order was currently in hand, and without his brother-in-law's endorsement, the deal faced an eight or nine out of ten chance of collapse. Therefore, no matter the circumstances, he had to accommodate Feng Lu.
The situation felt somewhat constraining, but business interests took precedence. So be it.
"What if I find myself unable to sleep?"
She shut her eyes, yet not a hint of sleepiness was present. Feng Lu felt a pang of distress.
She recognized her own overexcitement.
Ever since the birth of Luo Minghan and Luo Mingwei, her menstrual cycle had become irregular. Had this not been the case, she wouldn't have struggled to conceive for so long after moving in with Han Bin. But who could have anticipated such a sudden surprise—she was pregnant. This child was something she had yearned and waited for. To be perfectly candid, her eyes had brimmed with tears of joy the very moment the doctor confirmed the pregnancy.
Now nearly three months along, she berated herself for her obliviousness, for not realizing sooner. Had she not discovered it today, who knew how much longer she might have unknowingly jeopardized the life within her.
This realization prompted Feng Lu to chastise herself for her carelessness. However, recalling how her period would sometimes cease for two to three months, only to reappear twice within a single month, a sense of resignation washed over her.
Regardless, she considered herself fortunate to have discovered the nascent life within her womb today.
Yet, Feng Lu remained unaware that this child, whom she had finally conceived, would soon depart from her.
The following day.
Luo Yanqing dropped off the three little ones at kindergarten, then contacted Director Song by phone. From Director Song, he obtained his former father-in-law's work unit and office telephone number. Following this, he proceeded to Old Master Feng's place of work.
At this precise moment, Luo Yanqing was seated within Old Master Feng's office.
"You... have come to see me regarding something."
It was not posed as a question. Old Master Feng stated it as a declarative sentence.
Luo Yanqing inclined his head slightly. "Do you still recall the agreement we made back then?"
Upon hearing this, Old Master Feng faltered for a moment before nodding with a soft "mm."
"Since you remember, why did your daughter reappear before the children after more than a decade? She even leverage Luo Minghan and Luo Mingwei's parentage to coerce the children into going with her."
Luo Yanqing's gaze was detached and distant, his tone cool and composed, yet the underlying anger was unmistakable.
"Ming Han and Ming Wei's parentage? What exactly are you implying?"
A disquieting premonition stirred within Old Master Feng's heart as he heard Luo Yanqing continue, "In her attempt to take Luo Minghan and his sister away from me, your daughter requested a meeting and brazenly declared to my face that those two children are not mine.
She also claimed that the reason she 'fell' and ended up hospitalized back then was a deliberate fabrication of a premature birth, designed to prevent me from questioning the children's parentage based on their birth date."
Hearing these words, Old Master Feng felt a searing pain grip his chest. He swiftly retrieved a medicine bottle from his drawer, unscrewed the cap, dispensed a pill, and ingested it.
Observing this, Luo Yanqing pressed his lips together. After Old Master Feng had regained some composure, he resumed, "The sole reason for my visit today is to make it unequivocally clear that regardless of whether those two children are biologically mine,
they will unequivocally be my children. I do not wish for your daughter, under any guise or excuse, to appear before Luo Minghan and his sister again and disrupt their lives or their studies."
"Little Luo..."
In that instant, Old Master Feng felt utterly ashamed, unable to meet Luo Yanqing's gaze. If Luo Yanqing's account was true—no, given the gravity of the situation and knowing Luo Yanqing's character, he would never utter such falsehoods, especially concerning infidelity—then the assertions made by his former son-in-law were likely alarmingly accurate...
His thoughts spiraled, and Old Master Feng's shame intensified. He felt increasingly mortified in Luo Yanqing's presence. Suppressing the burgeoning anger directed at his daughter, Feng Lu, he addressed Luo Yanqing, "I understand. Rest assured, I will ensure Feng Lu does not interfere with your family's life."
