Chapter 2 The Unknown Secret

• But there is no other choice!
• “Fine!” Zhong Zhen answered through gritted teeth after thinking about it briefly. She mustered up her will, took over the pen from Xiang Ming and quickly signed on the dotted line.
• Xiang Ming took the agreement back from her with satisfaction and drove over to a larger parking lot nearby. He took out a long piece of black cloth from a storage box and got down from the car. Then he said to Zhong Zhen, “I have to blindfold you.”
• Zhong Zhen closed her eyes and allowed him to blindfold her.
• Xiang Ming helped her down after she was blindfolded and placed her into another car. This time, she was driven to a designated villa and was then handed over to the housekeeper in charge.
• “Young lady. I will take you to get a hot spring bath and then you will be sent into the room. You should know what needs to be done after that, right?” The housekeeper kept her voice down while questioning her.
• Zhong Zhen didn't know how to answer but the housekeeper didn't wait for her response anyway. She took Zhong Zhen’s clothes off and helped her into the bathtub.
• After sitting in the bathtub for ten minutes, she was brought to a shower. Then, the housekeeper wrapped a thin bathrobe around her. According to the housekeeper, it was more…convenient…
• Zhong Zhen felt very nervous and uneasy.
• She gripped the sheets so hard that her fingers cramped up. Only then did she realize that she was sitting on the bed alone. She frowned, thinking of a way to remove her blindfold.
• It was at this moment when the door swung open. As Zhong Zhen felt the cold air rushing in, she stopped moving instantly.
• Feng Beichen gazed at the nervous young lady sitting by the bed through dim light, then went over and sat beside her. His thin lips resembled that of a demon as he spoke, “Lie down.”
• A faint smell of cologne penetrated Zhong Zhen's nose. She anxiously curled up to the side, but she could feel him approaching her slowly as he stretched out his hand and pushed her further back on the bed. Zhong Zhen could barely hold in a muffled moan. She felt his warm breath on her neck, but she didn't know what to do.
• Knowing that she was now on the chopping board, Zhong Zhen felt that it would be pointless to struggle.
• Feng Beichen lifted her bathrobe and caressed her body. Her smooth skin sent a tingling feeling through his scalp and his breathing increased rapidly.
• Zhong Zhen was trembling uncontrollably as she closed her eyes and turned her head away while trying her best to avoid his invasive aura. She tried to keep herself together.
• “Are you afraid? You're trembling so badly,” Feng Beichen asked bluntly as he unbuttoned his shirt.
• “I-I'm fine. I-It's just... N-Nervous...” Zhong Zhen stuttered as she replied. Even though her voice was trembling, it still sounded pleasant.
• Surprisingly, Feng Beichen wasn't upset about it. He even held her hand and pressed it against his body. “Since you're fine, help me undress then.”
• Shocked, Zhong Zhen slowly unbuttoned his clothes. Her hands were cold to the touch as they came into contact with his body. At this moment, he suddenly felt like he wanted to protect her from all the dangers in the world.
• In an instant, Feng Beichen came to his senses from and immediately got rid of that strange feeling. He held her hands down and said, “This is too slow.”
• Before Zhong Zhen could respond, he had grabbed her legs and spread them apart. Zhong Zhen wanted to curl up her body but it was too late. He had pressed his entire body onto hers.
• “Please don't. I'm afraid...”
• Feng Beichen pressed his lips against Zhong Zhen's and swallowed her voice. Her hands were pinned over her head.
• She really wanted to break away when he kissed her, but he suddenly let go. Zhong Zhen managed to gasp for some air, but she was then hit by a harsh pain from below.
• Ouch! It hurts!
• Her beautiful eyes misted over, then tears started falling. They traveled down her face and wet the pillow. But his body on her was like a machine that wouldn't stop moving.
• To ensure a higher conception rate, she lost count on the number of times they went through the same thing over and over again that night.
• In the end, she had lost all energy to scream and fell asleep right after that.
• Zhong Zhen woke up blindfolded again the next morning with a pillow under her butt.
• The man was nowhere to be seen. It was the housekeeper who waited by the bed. She helped her shower and get dressed before breakfast.
• “Young lady. You're not allowed to step out of this villa from today onward,” said the housekeeper seriously.
• “But I need to make a phone call,” said Zhong Zhen.
• “I'll make the phone call for you,” replied the housekeeper.
• Under the help of the housekeeper, Zhong Zhen made a call to confirm the receipt of the deposit. Her mother’s outstanding hospital bills were settled in full.
• Ten days later, a private doctor came over and carried out a blood test on her.
• She was very lucky to have conceived successfully.
• The huge burden in her heart was finally released because according to the agreement, she would have to sleep with the man again if the conception failed.
• After the diagnosis, Zhong Zhen was secretly transferred to Lake Heart Island to rest and take care of her pregnancy.
• Lake Heart Island was surrounded by water with no one else living there. There was only a villa built on it. The housekeeper stayed on the island with her and she was no longer restricted to move about.
• A batch of medical equipment then arrived along with a female gynecologist.
• Zhong Zhen immediately recognized the doctor as her best friend’s aunt Xie Lan at the first glance but she pretended not to know her. Xie Lan was confused for a moment but she played along too, pretending she didn’t know Zhong Zhen and settled down on the island.
• Zhong Zhen was looked after very carefully everyday but life was plain and boring. In a blink of an eye, she was already more than five months pregnant. One day, Xie Lan told Zhong Zhen that she had good news regarding her pregnancy. Zhong Zhen was carrying a pair of twins!
• Twins in the first pregnancy? Zhong Zhen had mixed feelings about it and remained silent for a long time while rubbing her belly.
• She went into labor contractions a week before her due date but still couldn't give birth after more than ten hours of torturous pain. Xie Lan was afraid and quickly got the housekeeper to call a speedboat to take them to a hospital nearby.
• While they were on their way, Zhong Zhen gave birth to a pair of fraternal twins of different sex with all her might.
• The housekeeper was overjoyed and eagerly took the two babies back to her master. She offered Zhong Zhen a ride back but was rejected.
• After that, Zhong Zhen got into Xie Lan's car and rushed to City A. During the journey, she felt a shooting pain all of a sudden. Xie Lan stopped the car at the side of the road to check on her immediately only to find out that there was another baby!
• “Oh my God! This baby was probably hidden behind his siblings during all the past examinations!” Xie Lan exclaimed.
• Zhong Zhen grabbed Xie Lan by her wrist in agitation, “Aunt Lan, please don't tell the master about this baby! I'm begging you!” She already had two babies taken away from her and she didn't want to lose this one too.
• Xie Lan nodded as she looked at the determination in Zhong Zhen's eyes. She then drove the car into the woods immediately and aided the labor. After just a few minutes, the baby’s crying sounds could be heard ringing through the woods.
• “Aunt Lan, show me the baby,” Zhong Zhen wheezed, ignoring the sweat that covered her entire face and body.
• “It's a boy. Aww, you're so cute. Here, carry him...”
