Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Chapter 236: Yan Siming VS Gong Tianhao

Translator: Lonelytree

After Xiao Lingyu said, “I owe him something”, the atmosphere became a little different.

It became quiet!

It became silent!

It was even a little strange!

Yan Siming couldn’t understand Xiao Lingyu’s decision. He couldn’t agree with her either. Why would she keep a bastard child? Didn’t she know it’d ruin her life?

Xiao Lingyu should be around six months pregnant. He was interested in Xiao Lingyu but...

Yan Siming narrowed his peach blossom eyes and smiled. “Xiao Lingyu, how about being my woman? I’ll protect this child and won’t let anyone bully him in the future. What do you think?”

He had a smile on his face, but his expression was serious.

Xiao Lingyu’s pupils constricted, and the smile on her face immediately froze.

Then, she said with a smile, “I remember someone saying that I’m an ugly duckling who is too full of herself. Why are you making this offer again? Are you trying to mock me?”

Xiao Lingyu was obviously joking, but also she meant it as a rejection.

Yan Siming could be telling the truth, but Xiao Lingyu didn’t need it.

Yan Siming’s eyes darkened, and then he said, “Xiao Lingyu, I’m being serious. Will you consider it?”

Xiao Lingyu’s expression immediately became serious. She suddenly asked sharply, “Yan Siming, you want me to be your woman? What kind of woman? Your mistress or your wife?”

Yan Siming’s eyes flashed. Then, just as he was about to say something, Xiao Lingyu stopped him.

She continued, “I won’t be your mistress. But I can’t be your wife. How am I qualified? Plus, I don’t think you were asking me to be your wife either.

“I’m pregnant with a child with an unknown face. If I get together with you, how will you and how will I face him in the future? I’ve already told you. I will keep this child.”

When Yan Siming heard Xiao Lingyu’s words, his pupils constricted. He opened his mouth and said, “Xiao Lingyu, I...”

Xiao Lingyu was right. He wanted her to be his woman but with what kind of identity?

Yan Siming had actually thought about it before he came.

He might be interested in her, but it was not to the stage where he had to have her. Plus, he believed that he was interested in her because she was the first woman to have rejected him. Once he got her, his interest would disappear.

Yan Siming was the famous playboy in City Z. How could he stop his philandering for a single woman? Before he came to Taoyuan Village, he had already prepared his offer.

He wanted Xiao Lingyu to be his lover, just like all the women he had in the past. But the difference was, he would lavish her with everything he had.

When Xiao Lingyu saw Yan Siming’s hesitation, she knew the answer. Her eyes darkened. She looked disappointed. Then, she smiled and said, “So, Yan Siming, do you think I’m willing to be your lover?”

Yan Siming suddenly felt a sense of panic. Suddenly, he blurted out, “Then what about being my wife?”

“She won’t be doing that either!” A man’s voice answered him from outside the courtyard.

The two of them looked out of the courtyard.

“Gong Tianhao!”

“Young Master Gong!”

Yan Siming said the first, Xiao Lingyu uttered the second. They were both surprised by Gong Tianhao’s sudden arrival.

Yan Siming knew Gong Tianhao only because of business exchanges.

The Yan group was the largest company in City Z and was involved in many industries. Imperial Palace Group was the largest company in the country. They would work with all the best companies in the world.

Gong Tianhao was holding a suitcase in one hand and a suit jacket in the other. Due to the hot weather and the rush of the journey, his forehead was sweating.

Ignoring their surprised gazes, he calmly carried the suitcase and walked into the courtyard.

Xiao Lingyu, “...”

‘This is my home, right? Why are these people walking into it like they own this place? No, wait! Why is this man at Taoyuan Village? Plus, based on his getup, he has come to this place before going to his grandfather’s place. Why? Also, he has rejected Yan Siming on my behalf. Who gave him that right?’

Granted, Xiao Lingyu would have the same answer, but she didn’t want this man to speak for her.

Yan Siming was very surprised by Gong Tianhao’s arrival. Then, he asked doubtfully, “Mr. Gong, why are you here?”

Gong Tianhao looked at Xiao Lingyu and noticed the strange expression in her eyes.

This made him think of the last few times they met. Every time they met, Xiao Lingyu’s attitude towards him was also strange.

With his looks and wealth, many women threw themselves at him. He didn’t pay much attention to this woman at first. However, every time after that, Xiao Lingyu would subconsciously resist and reject him.

He didn’t understand why in the past, and he didn’t probe further.

But now, he understood everything.

The first time they met, she glanced behind the seat to confirm something. She must have confirmed it then. However, Gong Tianhao was still confused about how did Xiao Lingyu get her confirmation from their first meeting.

It was not until later that Gong Tianhao realized that Xiao Lingyu was very sensitive to voices. She would not forget the voices that she had heard.

Yan Siming saw Gong Tianhao staring at Xiao Lingyu seriously and frowned.

‘What is going on? When did Xiao Lingyu know Gong Tianhao?’

Gong Tianhao was the boss of the Imperial Palace Group, the richest man in the country, and one of the top corporate figures in the world.

Xiao Lingyu was a small, white-collar worker in the past and now a farmer’s daughter. How did she manage to know a big shot like Gong Tianhao?

Yan Siming had only met Gong Tianhao once for a business meeting, and it was very brief.

A sense of crisis welled up in Yan Siming’s heart. He shielded Xiao Lingyu behind him, then said with a smile, “Mr. Gong, what brings you here?”

Gong Tianhao looked at the excessively beautiful man in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and asked, “Are you Yan Siming?”

Yan Siming nodded and said, “Yes. I’m honored that Mr. Gong remembers a small fry like me.”

To Gong Tianhao, Yan Siming was indeed a small fry.

“Mr. Yan, why are you here?” Gong Tianhao retorted.

Yan Siming,”...” What does that have to do with you?

“Get out of my way!” Gong Tianhao suddenly said coldly.

He remembered that Li Yuanhang had told him that this Yan Siming had helped Xiao Lingyu several times and that the entire Xiao family owed him a huge favor. He heard from outside the house that Yan Siming had just confessed to Xiao Lingyu and asked her to be his bride.

Gong Tianhao was glad that he came to look for Xiao Lingyu the moment he arrived at Taoyuan Village. Or else his wife and child would have been stolen away from him.

That’s right. After he found out the woman from that night from Xiao Lingyu and she was pregnant, Gong Tianhao already saw them as his wife and child.

When he saw another man coveting his wife, he was furious.

Gong Tianhao’s aura was threatening, but Yan Siming wasn’t afraid.

He did not move aside but asked seriously, “Mr. Gong, if you have something to say, just say it. Lingyu is pregnant, and she can’t be frightened!”

Gong Tianhao fell silent. He thought of the previous times when Xiao Lingyu had been distant and resistant to him.

However, why should a man stop him if he wanted to see his wife and child?

Gong Tianhao’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “Mr. Yan, I know that Xiao Lingyu is pregnant, and I know the severity of the matter. You don’t need to worry too much. Now, please leave!”

Yan Siming, “...”

‘What is the relationship between Gong Tianhao and Xiao Lingyu?’

Yan Siming still didn’t move aside. His expression was equally serious.

He asked sternly, “Mr. Gong, are you sure you know the severity of the situation? The moment you arrived, you started shouting and making demands. Who wouldn’t be afraid of you? My Lingyu is pregnant, and she can’t be scared!”

“Your Lingyu?” Gong Tianhao repeated. Then, the corners of his lips curled up as he said in a mocking and sarcastic tone, “When did Xiao Lingyu agree to be your woman?

“Plus, I heard that President Yan is quite amorous. You change your lovers like how you’d change clothes. You never reject any woman who approaches you. Your lovers probably can circle City Z three times already. You want Xiao Lingyu to join that line?”

“You... You’re slandering me!” Yan Siming’s handsome face immediately revealed an ugly expression. He didn’t expect the boss of Imperial Palace would resort to low-handed tactics like libel.

Gong Tianhao laughed coldly and said, “How am I slandering you? Is it not true that you’ve had many lovers? And you change them every few days?”

“You...” Yan Siming pointed at Gong Tianhao and was dumbfounded.

Didn’t they say that Gong Tianhao was cold, heartless, and taciturn?

That was all bullshit! This man came and started laying traps instantly!

Gong Tianhao vs Yan Siming, round one, Gong Tianhao won!

Xiao Lingyu stood behind Yan Siming. She felt nervous and uneasy. She had no idea why Gong Tianhao didn’t go to his grandfather’s place but came directly to her place instead.

He even stopped her from being Yan Siming’s wife. She had a very bad feeling.

She suppressed the fear and unease in her heart, patted Yan Siming’s shoulder, and said with a calm smile, “Chairman Yan, Mr. Gong is the benefactor of Taoyuan Village. His grandfather lives in Taoyuan Village and has a good relationship with my family.” Then, she turned to Gong Tianhao, “Mr. Gong, why didn’t you go visit him but come directly to my house instead?”

Gong Tianhao was extremely excited when he heard Xiao Lingyu’s voice.

However, he had always been a person who didn’t show his emotions. He calmed himself down.

He said, “I’m here to buy strawberries. I saw how good they were selling. I was worried about missing out, so I came to talk to you immediately.”

Xiao Lingyu, “...”

‘Yea, right. You’re the richest man in the county. Do you think I’d believe you would care about this small business?’

Yan Siming, “...”

‘What a liar! Only a fool would believe such a reason.’

At the same time, a sense of crisis and urgency welled up in Yan Siming’s heart.

The leader of Imperial Palace made up excuses and lies to meet a woman.

Why?

Yan Siming had an answer, but he was unwilling to face it.

Gong Tianhao rushed over from the capital because he was eager to see Xiao Lingyu and his child, and he also wanted to hug them in his arms.

At this moment, he had forgotten that Xiao Lingyu was the woman that his good brother liked. The promises he gave Jiang Tao had all disappeared.

However, when he arrived, Gong Tianhao heard a man confess to his wife. This made him feel a sense of crisis.

He was eager to declare his sovereignty over Xiao Lingyu and her child. However, he quickly noticed the sense of unease and panic in Xiao Lingyu’s eyes.

He felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured on his heart, causing him to wake up instantly.

It was not the time for his declaration of love and sovereignty!

If he had told Xiao Lingyu he had found out everything, Xiao Lingyu would be more cautious and wary. She might think he was only approaching her to snatch her child away.

In a moment, Gong Tianhao’s brain spun. He decided he had to win over the child’s mother first. Of course, to do that, he had to make sure Xiao Lingyu wouldn’t be with another man.

Yan Siming was a strong opponent because he had helped Xiao Lingyu and her family several times.

Gong Tianhao had no choice but to destroy Yan Siming’s image and lower the man’s impression in Xiao Lingyu’s heart.

Only by having Yan Siming out of the picture that he’d have a chance.

Gong Tianhao wasn’t being despicable. He was only telling the truth... well, slightly exaggerated truth.

Gong Tianhao had no idea if his tactic worked or not.

What he knew now was that he had to treat Xiao Lingyu seriously to win her heart.
