Chapter 131 Why Wasn't She Pregnant
Chapter 131 Why Wasn't She Pregnant
The Li Clan was a powerful house founded on military exploits, whose family members all served in the
army as senior officials. Though she was an expert in the field of PR, she had no confidence to win
Colin's heart.
"But you like challenges, Miss Duanmu. And if you succeed, I will give you two percent of Lien's
shares, and fifty million dollars in cash." No one could resist such easy money.
When she heard of the bountiful reward, Meave paused for a while, then she said, "But Colin Li has a
wife, and I heard their bond is strong."
Gregary smirked, "There is an old saying, any pair of lovers can be put asunder, as long as you tear
them apart with the right hand."
"Very well. Since you've placed your trust in me, Mr. Lien, I won't let you down. But I want another one
percent of Lien's shares, and I want a half of your promised fifty million dollars to be paid now in cash.
The rest twenty-five million and the shares can be given to me after." Successful or not, doing this
would ruin her reputation. Gregary's terms were not good enough for her.
Without hesitation, Gregary responded, "I accept. As long as you can make sure they divorce, you will
be rewarded generously."
"Thank you, Mr. Lien."
Now, apart from his son-in-law, it had also costed Gregary a fortune to alienate Colin and Sophia. But
he flashed a triumphant grin.
When Sophia got home, Colin called her. She took out her phone, and answered with a smile on her
face, "Honey?"
Colin smiled too when he heard Sophia's joyful voice. But thinking of his purpose, he quickly changed
his tone. He coldly asked, "How was your night with Payne Tai?"
Sophia rolled her eyes. A little nervous, she cautiously answered, "It was okay. Before Payne could do
anything, Dorothy and two men broke into the hotel room. Then I called Mr. Song for help, and he sent
people to my rescue. I'm unhurt, Colin, and I swear! Everything I said was true! There's nothing going
on between Payne and me!" Sophia gave her honest answer.
Hearing that, Colin let out a sigh. "Sophia, when I'm not around, don't do or say anything to them. I will
be back soon. And when I come back, whatever you want to do, I will accompany you."
He wasn't worried about Sophia cheating on him, but he was afraid that Payne might take advantage of
her reckless behavior.
Sophia remained silent for a while. Since Colin had said that, she would do as he recommended. As
long as Payne stayed out of her sight, she wouldn't contact him again. "I won't."
"Good. How was work? Are you used to A Country's branch routine yet?"
"It was good. I'm still doing the same job here. Grit arranged an individual room for me, and it was
quiet." In fact, She didn't want anything special from the start. But Grit told her it was Colin's idea, so
she agreed to the plan.
Colin smiled, "Sounds great. You always liked a quiet retreat. And when I come back to A Country, you
can move into my office. Then we can go to and from work together. How does that sound?"
That said, both of them began to picture the future in their minds.
"I like it very much. Kiss kiss, honey."
Colin gasped, "What? Are you trying to hit me on?"
Sophia smirked, "Of course not. But if you think so, I won't deprive you of the pleasure."
She was not by his side now, so she was free to say anything.
A little carried away, Sophia continued, "Honey, why are you not around?...Now, I have to sleep
alone...I'm so bored... Come and play with me..."
Colin gritted his teeth, "Sophia Lo! How dare you to tease me like that! I will teach you how to behave
when I'm back!"
On hearing that, Sophia giggled, "Sure, Mr. Li, I'm waiting for you!"
But she suddenly felt there was something wrong with her. She jumped off the bed, and quickly said to
Colin, "Sorry...Colin, I got to go. Bye!" NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Her period seemed to be coming.
Colin hummed his answer, and hung up the phone, whereas Sophia hurried to the bathroom.
And she saw blood.
But Colin thought that she was being melodramatic. People were prone to be melodramatic when they
were uncomfortable.
The next day, Sophia took a day's leave. Tossing and turning in pain, she thought of Colin, and dialed
his number.
When Sophia called, Colin was in a meeting. He took a look at the Caller ID, then calmly said, "I'm
going to A Country tomorrow. Please excuse me. I have to answer this call. You can keep discussing."
He walked out of the conference room, went down the corridor, and stood in front of a window with his
phone in his hand. Gazing outside, he answered, "Yes? Why are you calling me? Do you miss me?"
Sophia sniveled, and sobbed, "I do. I want you to hold me in your arms."
Colin sensed there was something wrong with her, "What's wrong?"
"What else could it be? I'm on my period again...It hurts." She was so disappointed. She thought she
had recuperated. Why wasn't she pregnant yet?
Colin's heart ached when he heard her sobs. He softly said, "Don't cry. You are my good girl. I'll ask
Mrs. Zhang to make some brown sugar soup for you."
Mrs. Zhang was a servant newly working in Li's Manor. The former one had some family matters and
quit her job, so Mrs. Zhang was recruited in her stead.
Sophia found a little salvation from Colin's soft voice, "But I feel better now. I should've called you
earlier."
Colin chuckled, "I have yet to know I'm a pain killer."
"Of course, and you're more powerful when you hold me in your arms." Sophia said mischievously.
Hearing that, Colin almost couldn't restrain his lust. He gritted his teeth, and gnashed, "Keep flirting
with me, and you shall suffer the consequences."
Sophia smiled, eager to receive the punishments. But, perhaps, she should pay him a visit instead,
since he was so busy with work.
Realizing what she was thinking about, Sophia was shocked. The power of love was so
unconquerable. It could even make her travel thousands of miles to meet someone she missed.
"Of course, I'm looking forward to it." The idea of going to Colin firmly implanted itself in her mind.
After her conversation with Colin, Sophia dozed off. Half-asleep, she suddenly heard Mrs. Zhang knock
on her door, and call out to her, "Mrs. Li."
She then recalled that Colin had said he would ask Mrs. Zhang to make some brown sugar soup for
her.
"Please come in." She sat up in bed. Mrs. Zhang pushed the door open, and entered with a cup of
brown sugar soup in her hand.
"Mrs. Li, Master Colin requested that I make some brown sugar soup for you." With a smile on her face,
Mrs. Zhang handed the soup to Sophia.
"Thank you, Mrs. Zhang." The soup was served at the right temperature. Sophia took a sip.
Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "Mrs. Li, are you suffering from dysmenorrhea? The solution is very
simple. As soon as you give birth to Master Colin's child, it will be cured."
Hmm? Sophia gave her a questioning look. Mrs. Zhang was a woman in her early thirties, and also an
excellent employee from the domestic service company.
"It's true. All the women I know are like that. They never suffer from dysmenorrhea again after labor."
"But...Mine was caused by an accident, and I still suffer from the lingering effects... Would it still work?"
Hearing Mrs. Zhang's words, she now suddenly craved for a baby.
Mrs. Zhang was stumped by Sophia's question. She hesitated, "I really don't know. But bearing a baby
certainly won't make the condition worse. I'm sure you will have one with Master Colin, sooner or later."
That was true. "Thank you, Mrs. Zhang." Sophia drunk the cup of soup.
"My pleasure, Mrs. Li."
After Mrs. Zhang walked out with the empty cup, Sophia contemplated what she said. What if it
worked?
She took out her phone, and dialed Wade Ji's number. The phone connected, and Wade's voice came
from the other end, "Mrs. Li, are you looking for Mr. Li? I'm not with him right now. I'm out on business."
"No, I want to know Colin's schedule for early next month, Mr. Ji." She had to make a plan! It was in the
middle of the month now. Her ovulation cycle would start at the beginning of next month.
"Of course. I will send you a copy." Wade answered politely.
