Cupping her face in her hands, An Xiaoning added, “That’s how the karmic cycle has always been.”

“If the children we had didn’t end up being miscarried, would you have given birth to all of them?”

She answered firmly, “Yes. Since I was impregnated, I would definitely give birth to them. I had been through four pregnancies and yet I only managed to give birth to Yiheng. With this ruined and damaged body of mine, I probably won’t be able to bear any more children for the rest of my life.”

Jin Qingyan grabbed her hand and said, “I’ll ask Auntie Chen to cook you more nutritious food and tonic for you to nourish your health. Your body is frail and you must nurse your body back to health while you’re still young.”

“Thank you for your tender affection, Mr. Jin.”

“I don’t like hearing you call me that. It sounds too formal and distant,” said Jin Qingyan, poking her forehead with his finger.

“What do you like hearing then?”

“Call me Hubby.”

An Xiaoning turned to lie flat on her back and broke eye contact with him. “Something else.”

“Darling.”

“No.”

“Baby.”

“No.”

“You’re so fussy, why don’t you come up with one?”

“Piggy?”

“…”

“Didn’t you let me pick?”

“Don’t you find it extremely childish?”

How dare she call a 33-year-old man ‘Piggy’!?!

“I guess I’d better address you by your name then…”

“Don’t, we’ll just stick with this. You’re only allowed to address me that way when we’re alone with each other. No one else is to hear it. Shall I give you a pet name too?” said Jin Qingyan, cocking his head to the side as he felt a little embarrassed.

An Xiaoning rested her chin on her arm and asked, “What?”

“Good girl.”

“…”

“Okay, it’s settled then,” he added.

Did I agree to it? An Xiaoning thought in her head.

He handed his mobile phone to her and said, “Here.”

“What are you giving me this for?”

“Record something with your voice and make it my alarm. Anything will do. That way, I’ll be able to hear your voice every morning.”

An Xiaoning opened the voice recording app and began singing into the microphone after some thought, “Wake up, Piggy, stop sleeping. It’s getting late, time to rise and shine. You’re almost running late. Hurry and wake up. Put on your clothes, brush your teeth, wash your face, and have your breakfast. Rise and shine, Piggy, the sun is out. Oh, the air is so fresh outside…”

She immediately saved the recording and played it once more. Staring at him smugly, she asked, “What do you think?”

He took his mobile phone from her hands and said with a nod of satisfaction, “I like it a lot.”

“Good that you do. I’m tired.” She pulled the duvet up and eased herself into a comfortable position before closing her eyes.

He set the voice recording as his alarm, ringtone, text tone, as well as all the other notification tones on his mobile phone.

He then went to sleep peacefully.

He was woken up the next morning by An Xiaoning’s melodious voice. Having had a good night’s sleep, he proceeded to the television broadcasting studio for an interview.

He arrived at the filming studio.

“Mr. Jin, the interview was supposedly scheduled for yesterday afternoon, but you stood us up at the last minute. We didn’t have anything to air for yesterday’s program, and thus, we released an official statement to inform our viewers that the interview would be postponed until today. Here’s the topic of discussion for the interview later. Please take a look,” said the journalist.

Jin Qingyan took the script from her and glanced through the questions before handing it back to the journalist. “Can we begin now?”

“Yes.” The journalist had long memorized the questions. After touching up her appearance, she sat down opposite Jin Qingyan and began the interview.

The live-stream began officially, and the reporter said to the camera, “Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to ‘Business Legends,’ a program brought to you by the Finance Channel. We’ve invited a special guest today, and he’s none other than the CEO of the Jin Corporation, Mr. Jin Qingyan. Nice to meet you, Mr. Jin.”

“Nice to meet you,” Jin Qingyan greeted aloofly.

“The property market is akin to the stock market nowadays. Property prices in well-developed cities are soaring tremendously. As a businessman and a property magnate, what are your thoughts on such a phenomenon? Could you share with us your insights about the changes in property prices for the next ten years?”

“Well-developed cities are bound to be more densely populated. I think that property prices will continue to rise throughout the next ten years, since it has yet to reach the saturation point. The continuous surge in property prices signifies a stable growth in the city’s economy. As long as the economy continues to be stable, the prices may slow down in their increment but they definitely wouldn’t plunge.”

“I believe it’s a well-known fact that the Jin Corporation is a multi-national corporation that owns several other sister companies abroad. As the leader of such an established enterprise with a countless number of employees, are you concerned about the possible unemployment issues that could prevail due to an economic downturn?”

“I’ve never dwelt on issues and problems that have yet to exist. I believe I’ll be able to solve the problem with appropriate measures when the day arrives.”

The reporter then changed the subject and asked, “Many of our viewers have indicated their interest in your personal life, Mr. Jin. Could you tell us about your current relationship status?”

In the past, Jin Qingyan would usually decline to answer or say that he had no comments. However, he did not evade the question during the live-stream this time.

He decided that he ought to declare his relationship status openly and, at the same time, clear the name of his beloved woman.

“There’s a woman whom I love.”

“Could you tell us more about that lucky lady?”

All the viewers watched as the quiet and reserved Jin Qingyan broke into smiles and answered, “She… she’s sometimes as stubborn as a rock and as tough as nails. Other times, she’s soft-spoken and gentle, as meek as a lamb. Yet, there are also times when she’d scratch you with her sharp claws. Sometimes, she’s hyperactive, sometimes, she’s as quiet as a mouse. That’s just who she is.”

The reporter looked at Jin Qingyan and said, “We’re all so envious of this lucky lady who has managed to capture your heart, Mr. Jin. I believe all our viewers must be eager to find out who she is. However, this is Mr. Jin’s privacy.”

She dared not jump to conclusions and say that it was An Xiaoning, for she would be digging her own grave if it turned out to be otherwise.

As an experienced reporter, she knew better than to do that.

She then continued to ask him a few more business-related questions. Just as the session was about to end, his phone began to ring all of a sudden while filming was still ongoing.

A gentle, crisp voice filled the air. “Wake up, Piggy, stop sleeping. It’s getting late, time to rise and shine. You’re almost running late. Hurry and wake up. Put on your clothes, brush your teeth, wash your face, and have your breakfast. Rise and shine, Piggy, the sun is out…”

Jin Qingyan immediately lost his composure and frantically whipped his mobile phone out to end the call at once.

He was doomed now that his ringtone had been exposed.
