Although Ji Nuan learned the self-defense art very well, as Feng Ling had warned her, she had not gone through rigorous physical training and was a little weak in strength, so she could only win by wit. These little skills and tricks could only temporarily bluff her enemy. Only when the other party was frightened by her, could her tricks work.

But if the other party really fought with her, she certainly couldn’t resist the two strong men. After all, she was no match for them in strength and height. She was not Wonder Woman. How could she beat them?

But Xiao Ba cooperated with her cleverly and successfully fooled the two men with a few words.

Maybe because they didn’t know much about her. Ji Nuan had just come back from the UK, and these people only knew that she was internationally famous and was now on the Forbes list,

Ji Nuan took the two men to her office, asked them carefully, and called the head of the government to get an idea of what had really happened.

It turned out that the person in charge was bribed by Heng Cheng, which was found out by the government. On the day of the bidding, as a senior official was present, those people put the bidding doc.u.ments of several large companies together in case their superior found out what they had done. In the end, the senior official chose MN company to take charge of the project. When Heng Cheng company people went to question them, they said that the MN group offered them better conditions, using MN Group as a s.h.i.+eld.

Ji Nuan finally got clear about the cause and effect. She couldn’t blame the government, so she could not tell them the real reason but explained to the people of Heng Cheng tactfully.

Just as the two men were about to ask their boss to come over, the police finally arrived.

Heng Cheng did have “relations” in the police, so the policemen just went through the formalities, asked them some questions, took the two men away, and released them as soon as they went out. This case was closed hastily.

Knowing that the police had released the two men as soon as they left, MN Group’s staff were all indignant, but no one dared to protest. After all, the police station on the west of the city did have special relations with Heng Cheng. The world was just like this. If you didn’t have a more powerful background, you could only accept the reality.

The problem seemed to have been solved, but Heng Cheng Company and MN Group had become enemies. Ji Nuan still had to work out a way to solve this problem.

Although compet.i.tions were common among domestic real estate companies, she didn’t want to see the contradiction between them develop like a s...o...b..ll.

In the office, Xia Tian pushed the door open with a big belly and looked at Ji Nuan sitting behind her desk.

“We shouldn’t have let them go so easily. Didn’t they say they were going to dig the baby out of my belly? Great. I’d like to see whether they have the guts to do it,” Xia Tian stormed in, shouting angrily.

Ji Nuan glanced at her and then at her belly. “How many months pregnant are you?”

Xia Tian paused and then answered, “Eight months.”

“Then, you’re about to have a baby?”

“Who on earth told you this? I’ve been keeping my pregnancy a secret from you, and who dares to tell you?”

“Why didn’t you want to tell me? Do you plan to go back to work as soon as you give birth to your baby?” Ji Nuan coldly glanced at her, turned on the computer at random, and tapped her fingers on the keyboard. “Take a formal leave from today and come back to work when your child is one year old.”

“I haven’t given birth to my baby yet. Why are you in such a hurry?” Xia Tian came over with her big, round belly, leaned down, put her hands on the table, and smiled at Ji Nuan. “Did you have some rejuvenation pills in the UK? You’re already twenty-four or five but still look like a teenager. You’ve rejuvenated?”

Ji Nuan ignored her, still looking at the statements in the computer and saying, “Give me your work and go home for maternity leave.”

Seeing her begin to focus on work, Xia Tian said, bracing her waist with her hand and pacing back and forth, “You’ve just got back. It’ll take a few days for me to hand over my work to you. I’ll take my leave in a few days. Anyway, I have you around, I can do ch.o.r.es and process doc.u.ments for you on the side.”

“Okay.” Ji Nuan closed the statement in the computer, put down the mouse as she leaned back in her chair and rested her eyes on Xia Tian’s belly. “Why didn’t you hold a wedding ceremony? Look how big your belly is. Will the baby be born legally? Did you and your husband get a marriage certificate?”

The corner of Xia Tian’s mouth twitched. “Of course.”

“When?”

“Oh, my dear Mr. Officer took me to the hospital after he saw me throw up once in the morning, and then took me to get our marriage certificate as soon as he found out I was pregnant. And he used his relations to get a copy of my household registration certificate that was kept in my home in S City and successfully got the certificate…”

Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows. “I remember you called him ‘a stone in the toilet that is smelly and stubborn.’ Now he has become your ‘Dear Mr. Officer’?”

Xia Tian didn’t explain but just stroked her belly. “When we were about to hold a wedding ceremony, he was sent on an anti-drug mission. Now I haven’t seen him for more than half a year. Before I could adjust to the transition from a young girl to a married woman, I have almost become a ‘Husband-Waiting Stone Statue’ in Hai City. Alas, I really regret it. I shouldn’t have been so impulsive as to get a marriage license with him.”

Xia Tian had a sweet, happy look on her face, although she was complaining that she had almost become a ‘Husband-Waiting Stone Statue.’

Ji Nuan remained deadpan. “In fact, if you want to divorce, it’s not difficult. I’m experienced in this kind of thing. Do you need me to teach you?”

Xia Tian gave her a sideways look. “If I get divorced, will you father my baby?”

Ji Nuan grinned. “Okay.”

Xia Tian rolled her eyes. “Don’t even think of it! What if my child can’t distinguish between men and women and doesn’t know whether his father should be a woman or a man?”

With that, she glanced at Ji Nuan, pondered and said, “Will you move the headquarters in London into this building? In fact, it’s not very convenient here on the west side of the city. There are often traffic jams from here to downtown. There happens to be a new high-rise office building in the downtown for sale. You can buy it.”

“Where is that building?”
