My Sexy CEO Wife

In front of the prison gate.

Helpless and alone, Bai Mudan cried her heart out, begging Gao Fei for help; she truly had no other option or she wouldn't be humbly pleading with Gao Fei.

There was a time when Bai Mudan carried herself with arrogance, looking down on Gao Fei with disdain and even slandering him behind his back, helping Dongfang Jian scheme against him. And now? She was humbly asking Gao Fei for help, indeed what goes around comes around.

Did Gao Fei harbor resentment towards Bai Mudan? Certainly, he did! But when he saw how wretched and pathetic Bai Mudan looked, his heart softened.

After all, Bai Mudan was just a weak woman... With her father's protection, Bai Mudan could lead a proud and comfortable life, but once she lost her father's protection, Bai Mudan was at a loss, having no aim in life, unsure of how to go on.

Seeing Gao Fei's stern face and silence, Bai Mudan became panicked, "Gao Fei, I was wrong to you before, I was so foolish to have believed in Dongfang Jian, a shameless and despicable villain. I am now filled with regret, sorry, truly sorry, please forgive me..."

"Sigh." Gao Fei sighed softly, "Had you known this day would come, why act as you did back then?"

"If I could do it over again, I would rather be your concubine than marry Dongfang Jian," Bai Mudan cried.

"Alright, enough crying." Gao Fei waved his hand, "What's done is done, even if you cry to death, time won't flow backward." Having said this, Gao Fei paused, "For the sake of our past, I can help you, but you have to agree to a condition."

"Just say it, you just say it. It doesn't matter if it's one condition or a hundred, I will agree," Bai Mudan said, nodding vigorously.

"From now on, no more crying, eat regularly every day, sleep regularly, and try to keep your emotions stable." At this point, Gao Fei glanced at Bai Mudan's belly and said in a grave tone, "Don't forget, you're pregnant now. For the sake of the child, you must live on strongly."

"Okay!" Bai Mudan nodded, "I'll listen to you, I'll try not to cry anymore."

"Not try, you must."

"Alright, I definitely won't cry."

"Let's go."

"To where?"

"To find a place to rest."

"What about my dad..."

"I just saw him. Though he looks a bit haggard, his life is not in danger."

"But..."

"You just said you'd listen to me, and now you're already going back on your word?" Gao Fei feigned anger and sternly said.

"No, I haven't changed my mind... Okay, I'll listen to you, whatever you say goes," Bai Mudan muttered, looking down.

Seeing Bai Mudan acting so fearful amused Gao Fei somewhat, "You don't need to be so scared of me; I'm not a fierce tiger or beast."

"Oh," Bai Mudan responded.

"Let's go." Gao Fei led the way with Bai Mudan following behind, and in the blink of an eye, their silhouettes had disappeared.

...

They found an inn and ordered a lavish spread of dishes.

"Come on, eat. Eat more," Gao Fei said while serving himself and beckoning Bai Mudan to do the same.

Bai Mudan sat tentatively on the chair, "I... I can't eat..."

Gao Fei's brows furrowed slightly, "Have you thought about the child in your stomach? It's still developing and needs a lot of nutrients. How will it grow if you don't eat? You surely don't want to give birth to a deformed child, do you?"

At the words "deformed child," Bai Mudan jerked, her complexion changing, "I'll eat, I'll eat right now." Bai Mudan picked up her chopsticks and started to shove food into her mouth.

After the meal.

Gao Fei asked for a bucket of hot water, letting Bai Mudan take a hot bath before finding her a set of new clothes.

"Hmm, now you look somewhat like Miss Bai Daqing," Gao Fei nodded with satisfaction.

Bai Mudan, holding her hands and biting her lip, with her cheeks flushed red, said, "I've done everything you asked of me... when will you rescue my father?"

"Things can't be rushed, it has to be taken slowly."

"Taken slowly?" Bai Mudan suddenly raised her head, "That's prison we're talking about! Every extra day my father spends in there, he's in more danger. Gao Fei, I'm begging you, please think of a way to rescue my father, I beg you. As long as you can save my father, I'll do anything."

Gao Fei shook his head with a wry smile, "I also want to rescue your father quickly, but the key issue is that my abilities are limited."

"Gao Fei..." Just as Bai Mudan was about to speak, she was interrupted by Gao Fei.

"Calm down, don't be so impatient, think about the child in your belly." Gao Fei said, "Since I've promised to help out, I definitely will, but we can't be too hasty. You must know that the person who threw your father into prison this time is the Emperor. Without his permission, no one dares to release your father."

"I'll go see the Emperor and plead with him to spare my father."

"Do you think the Emperor will see you?"

"I..."

"The most important thing for you right now is to take good care of yourself. Leave the matter of rescuing your father to me, you have to have confidence in me."

Comforted by Gao Fei, Bai Mudan's emotions gradually calmed down.

"You rest, we can talk more about this tomorrow," leaving those words, Gao Fei rose to leave the room. He had rented two rooms, one for Bai Mudan to stay in and one for himself, just next door, so it would be convenient to look after each other if needed.

One could say that Gao Fei's treatment of Bai Mudan was above and beyond the call of duty.

It was just that Gao Fei was soft-hearted; anyone else wouldn't care whether Bai Mudan lived or died.

After Gao Fei left, Bai Mudan just sat there, staring blankly. Her face would turn pale and then blush, clearly indicating her complicated mood at the moment.

After a good while...

Bai Mudan let out a soft exhale and then said with a bitter smile, "Indeed, fortunes are ever-changing! Had I known this would happen, I should have married Gao Fe as a concubine... No wonder Shangguan Yunyue fell for Gao Fei. A man as affectionate and loyal as Gao Fei would be liked by any woman, right? What a pity, I was blind and missed such a good husband."

Some people are just like this, they won't turn back until they hit a dead end! They only regret after suffering losses! This isn't right. Before you do anything, you should think it through thoroughly. If you know it's a pit of fire, don't jump into it, and also, listen to the opinions of others, don't be too self-assured.

...

In the other room.

Gao Fei lay on the bed, hands behind his head, pondering deeply.

Would Bai Daqing heed his advice? Giving up his title as a prince and his cultivation, could he really do it? If Bai Daqing couldn't be resolute, then the outcome... would not be optimistic.

And what about Bai Mudan? How was she going to live in the future?

Dongfang Jian really is ruthless! People as vicious as him definitely won't meet a good end.

Maybe... I should go see the Emperor tomorrow? Beg for mercy in person? But forget it, the Emperor definitely wouldn't give me face.

In a word, if Bai Daqing wants to live, he must give up his position as prince and abolish his cultivation. If Bai Daqing can't do that, he should prepare for death.

"Sigh..."

Gao Fei sighed softly, "It's really uncomfortable to have fate controlled by others! If Bai Daqing were powerful enough, so powerful that even the Emperor would be wary of him, then no one would dare to provoke him."
