It Started With a Kiss: Leng Shao's Beloved Wife

Chapter 151 Pregnancy News: A New Journey into Secret History

"Yichen, I'm pregnant." Wu Xinyan's voice was as soft as a feather, but it stirred up a storm in Luo Yichen's heart.

He suddenly stood up and hugged her in his arms, so excited that he could hardly speak.

After a long time, he whispered in her ear: "Xinyan, thank you." This is not just a child, but also the fruit of their love and a symbol of hope.

However, this joy was overshadowed when facing Mr. Luo.

Mr. Luo sat on the armchair, stroking the rosewood armrests with his hands. As he listened to Wu Xinyan's good news, his expression gradually darkened.

"Pregnant? Now that the family business is just starting to pick up, you... Alas!" He sighed, his tone full of blame.

"Xinyan, I know you're young and like children, but you also have to consider the overall situation. Now is a critical period for our family. If you get pregnant at this time, won't it distract you and affect family affairs?"

Wu Xinyan's eyes turned red instantly, and she bit her lower lip tightly, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

She understood her family's situation very well, but this was her child after all, the child she had been looking forward to for a long time!

She looked at Luo Yichen aggrievedly, hoping that he could speak for her. However, Luo Yichen was also in a dilemma at this moment.

The family's gossip pierced Wu Xinyan's heart like a sharp knife.

"Hey, have you heard? Wu Xinyan is pregnant!" "That's right! She's only been married for a short time, but her belly is already so big. I'm afraid she'll be pregnant as soon as she gets home..." "Humph, I think she just wants to gain status by having a son so that she can control the family property in the future!" These vicious speculations reached Wu Xinyan's ears without missing a word.

She covered her chest and found it difficult to breathe.

After dinner, Wu Xinyan sat alone on the swing in the garden, looking at the gradually dimming glow in the sky, feeling confused.

Luo Yichen walked to her side and gently held her in his arms.

"Don't listen to their nonsense," he soothed softly.

Wu Xinyan leaned on his shoulder, tears silently falling.

Suddenly, Luo Yichen seemed to remember something and took out a yellowed parchment scroll from his pocket.

"Xinyan, look, this is what I found in the study today..." He unfolded the scroll, which was densely covered with ancient texts.

"I think, maybe we can..." Before he could finish his words, Butler Wu hurried over.

"Sir, Madam, something bad has happened! The old man..."

Butler Wu's face turned pale and he was trembling and unable to speak complete sentences.

"Old... Old Master... He... He fainted!"

Luo Yichen and Wu Xinyan's faces suddenly changed and they rushed back to Luo's house.

Mr. Luo was lying on the bed, his face pale and his breathing weak.

The family doctor was giving him emergency treatment, and standing by were the anxious-looking housekeeper Wu and several servants.

Luo Yichen anxiously asked the doctor about Mr. Luo's condition and learned that it was a sudden angina pectoris and he needed rest and observation.

He held Master Luo's hand tightly, his heart filled with self-blame.

He understood that Mr. Luo's fainting was closely related to the dispute between him and him.

It turned out that Luo Yichen wanted to reform an important project currently underway in the family business - the "Star Project" - based on some ancient business concepts recorded in the family's secret history.

He believes that the concept of "people-oriented, harmonious coexistence" recorded in the secret history can inject new vitality into the "Star Project", making it more in line with the development trend of the times and bringing greater benefits.

However, Mr. Luo firmly opposed it.

He thought Luo Yichen's idea was too risky and was making a joke of the family's future.

"The rules of our ancestors cannot be changed! The 'Star Project' must proceed as originally planned!" Grandpa Luo was stubborn, and a fierce quarrel broke out between the father and son, which eventually caused Grandpa Luo to become emotionally agitated and develop angina pectoris.

Looking at the weak Master Luo lying on the hospital bed, Luo Yichen was filled with regret.

He realized that he had acted too hastily and had not considered Mr. Luo's feelings.

He clenched his fists and secretly vowed to find a plan that could both realize his ideas and be acceptable to Mr. Luo.

At the same time, Wu Xinyan was not idle.

She found scholar Sun, hoping to further study some obscure records in the family's secret history, hoping to find the key to solving the problem.

Scholar Sun was hesitant at first. He was timid and worried about being involved in family disputes.

But after Wu Xinyan's repeated requests, he finally agreed.

After several days of research, Scholar Sun and Wu Xinyan finally discovered a neglected record in the secret history.

This record describes an ancient business cooperation model that can cleverly integrate the concept of "people-oriented, harmonious coexistence" into the "Star Project", ensuring the smooth progress of the project while taking into account the interests of all parties.

Wu Xinyan looked at this record, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.

She realized that this might be the key to solving the problem.

She immediately told Luo Yichen about this discovery, and Luo Yichen was also very excited.

He had never expected that such wisdom was hidden in the secret history of his family.

He held Wu Xinyan's hand tightly, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Xinyan, thank you!"

Wu Xinyan smiled, her eyes determined. "Let's work together to make the Luo family better."

It was late at night, and the Luo family mansion was shrouded in silence.

Wu Xinyan stood in front of the window, looking at the starry sky in the distance, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.

She knew that the upcoming family meeting would be a tough battle.

But she was ready. For the sake of her children and the future of the Luo family, she had to stand up bravely.

Suddenly, she heard light footsteps outside the door.

She turned her head and saw Luo Yichen standing at the door with a document in his hand.

"Xinyan..." He hesitated to speak.

Wu Xinyan walked over and gently took the document.

"what is this?"

Luo Yichen took a deep breath and said slowly, "This is the revised 'Star Glory Plan' plan I've revised based on the secret history records you found. I've done my best to balance the interests of all parties, and I hope to gain everyone's approval at tomorrow's family meeting."

The next day, the atmosphere at the family meeting was unusually solemn.

Luo Yichen spoke first and explained in detail the revised "Starry Plan".

However, some family elders remained stubborn, believing the new plan was too radical.

Just then, Wu Xinyan stood up.

She clearly analyzed the advantages of the new plan and used data to prove its feasibility.

She spoke eloquently, every point she made was powerful, and every piece of data she presented was irrefutable.

All the family members present were impressed by her wisdom and courage. Even Mr. Luo, who had been opposed, nodded slightly in approval.

Those collateral relatives who had previously talked about her behind her back were now silent and dared not say a word.

After the meeting, Wu Xinyan and Luo Yichen smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

Luo Yichen immediately began to prepare for project reform.

Some young employees in the family business responded positively. They saw new hope and joined the reform team.

Wu Xinyan's prestige in the family is also growing day by day. She is no longer the abandoned daughter who is ostracized, but a respected young lady of the Luo family.

However, just as the project reform was about to start, a sudden piece of news broke the peace of the Luo family.

Luo Yichen's assistant rushed into the office in a panic, "President, this is bad! Our plan has been leaked! Our competitors have already started taking action!"

The teacup in Wu Xinyan's hand fell to the ground with a "smack", and fragments flew everywhere...

Luo Yichen stood up suddenly, his face livid. "Who is it? Who leaked the news?"
