Triplet’s Secret Chapter 33

Chapter 33 Suspicion Arose

“Ms. Xi!” Zhong Zhen scoffed and said, “Why are you such a bully?”

Don’t you ever think that people might get back at you? What goes around, comes around! You need to treat people the way you want to be treated. The sincerity with which you do things, will be what shaped your life.

“Don’t you dare talk down to me! Do you think that you have won just by driving around in a luxurious car? You better watch it! If men are this reliable, there wouldn’t be any women getting dumped.” Xi Anan looked as though she wanted to have a cat fight with her.

Zhong Zhen was amused that Xi Anan understood that principle at least. Too bad she doesn’t see that those ‘women’ she is referring to include herself.

“Since you put it that way, why are you even upset over that kind of unreliable man? Well, unless he’s a catch, then perhaps it could be an exception, right?” Zhong Zhen countered indifferently. Xi Anan turned red from not being able to respond to that.

She stared at Zhong Zhen angrily and said, “You’ll regret it soon!” Then, she turned her back and stormed off.

Who does she think she is? She has no right to talk to me that way! If I can’t get back at Zhong Zhen then I’ll just have to change my target. That woman who just went in earlier should be her friend.

Don’t blame me! Blame yourself for being acquainted with Zhong Zhen!

Zhong Zhen felt unusually happy after her argument with Xi Anan. She never thought that she was capable of arguing with others. Even though she would have preferred to avoid such a situation, but she had no choice. Challenges and hardships will always be thrown at us no matter how much we wish to avoid them.

In the end, Zhong Zhen decided not to call Feng Beichen. She would just assume that her leave had been approved yesterday.

She drove her car heading straight to Feng Beichen’s villa instead.

“Welcome, Ms. Zhong.” Once she had stepped into the villa, Lin Qi the housekeeper welcomed her while approaching cautiously.

Feeling uneasy, Zhong Zhen started looking around but she did not find anything unusual. She then asked the housekeeper, “Lin, did something happen while I was gone?”

Lin Qi was surprised at how observant Zhong Zhen was. However, he had to be cautious on what to disclose. In a worried tone, he said, “Mr. Feng just came back but his mood was very bad. He’s in his bedroom now.”

I’m not surprised that he is feeling down but does this have anything to do with me?

No matter what, him being in a bad mood is a fact that can’t be changed. Plus, I didn’t really perform my duties as promised.

“What should we do now?” Zhong Zhen asked cautiously as she did not know Feng Beichen’s personality well. Her heart raced, knowing well that she might have disappointed him. How would things turn out?

Lin Qi had worked for Feng Beichen for quite some time, so asking him for advice should be the right decision. But Lin Qi shook his head as he didn’t know either. A long time ago, this kind of situation usually got resolved by An Ran. However, with her now away, Feng Beichen had chosen to shut himself in his room like now.

Should he let Feng Beichen be with Zhong Zhen today?

“I think I know why he’s unhappy,” Zhong Zhen said to Lin Qi while taking off her shoes, her back to the living room.

Just as she finished her sentence, a deep voice rang out behind her, “Come here, Ms. Know-it-all!”

Feng Beichen stood there and stared at both of them with a sharp look.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Feng!” Lin Qi immediately looked down and apologized profusely. He guessed that he was to be blamed for disclosing too much. However, how was Zhong Zhen supposed to do her job if he didn’t inform her?

Zhong Zhen knew well that Feng Beichen’s words were aimed at her. Her head was messed up but she quickly regained her composure and greeted, “Mr. Feng.”

Feng Beichen turned and went upstairs. Lin Qi looked up and gave Zhong Zhen an apologetic but reassuring look. Sorry, I couldn’t help you much. What more could he say? Zhong Zhen had no choice but to move forward.

She nodded toward Lin Qi and quickly followed Feng Beichen’s footsteps.

Feng Beichen walked toward his desk and stared fiercely at Zhong Zhen. He asked, “What do you know about me? Answer me!” He shouted the last two words. Zhong Zhen was shocked and trembled in fear as she looked down.

What was that? Like all other ladies, she has fallen for me too? Feng Beichen felt annoyed as he didn’t know what to do with her.

“Shut the door!” Feng Beichen ordered.

Zhong Zhen nodded and quickly shut the door. After taking two steps forward, she stopped and said softly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Feng. This morning…”

He abruptly interrupted her and with a stern tone said, “Is that boy yours?” He was extremely confused. Her age and other health criteria were on point. She had given birth to twins, so she couldn’t possibly have other children in such a short period of time.

“No, he’s not.” Zhong Zhen answered immediately, “He’s the son of a friend of mine.”

“How old is he?” asked Feng Beichen.

“Two years and four months old.” Zhong Zhen felt like slapping herself. She could have reported an older age. I’m an idiot.

It was too late to take back what she had said. She reminded herself to be more cautious before disclosing any more details.

What a coincidence! That boy is of the exact same age as my twins.

“When’s his birthday?” Feng Beichen threw out another question at once.

At the same time, he felt confused at his own question. Why did I ask that? Why am I probing into the boy’s background?

There was no way Zhong Zhen could tell him the truth. Luckily, she was still looking down at her feet with her long hair covering half of her face. Hence, he was only able to get a glimpse of her expression.

“20th of March,” Zhong Zhen answered quickly. The date had been advanced by a week or so to avoid suspicion.

Feng Beichen felt relieved at once. Oh, it’s a different date. The arrangements at that time only involved trustworthy people, so everything should still be fine.

Zhong Zhen preferred to avoid any topics related to children. When it came to her boss, she knew that she must not blurt out anything unnecessary.

If one intends to hide a secret, then the best way is to not mention it at all.
