Space: Super Agricultural Tycoon

Chapter 9: Caught in the Act

The rain had stopped.

Clear skies and blue waters stretched endlessly, not a single cloud in sight. Dewdrops clung to the tips of the grass, sparkling like little gems, exuding an adorable charm.

In a cheap motel room, Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei were waiting for news. What had begun as a carefree wait turned into one marked by anxiety as time dragged on.

"Meier, she... she isn't going to stand us up, is she?" Lin Haotian asked, his voice tinged with worry.

Lan Ruomei felt a similar anxiety but tried to reassure him. "Haotian, don't worry. Gu Qingming is completely in love with you. Otherwise, a wealthy heiress wouldn't lower herself to listen to my suggestion, throw away her shame, and do something like getting ahead of herself and playing the game of putting the cart before the horse."

Even though that woman had gotten on the wrong track and accidentally carried a bastard, it didn't matter to them.

What mattered was that they could use the bastard in Gu Qingming's belly to gain access to the Gu family, forcing Gu Jianguo to acknowledge Lin Haotian's identity. Once he was recognized as the boyfriend of the Gu Group's heir, he could smoothly become their son-in-law.

With Gu Qingming's trust and Lin Haotian's own abilities, taking over the Gu Group was only a matter of time. After that, the Gu Group would be theirs. As for Gu Qingming, who was merely a tool, she would be discarded once she lost her value.

Yesterday, Gu Qingming had informed them she was indeed pregnant. Upon hearing this news, they were overjoyed and excited. Following their coaxing, she had promised to confront her parents.

Now, they were in this shabby motel, waiting for good news from Gu Qingming. The two of them were quite confident that Gu Jianguo and his wife would approve of their relationship and might even suggest a shotgun wedding.

Back then, Gu Qingming had confidently told Lin Haotian, "Haotian, I'm carrying our baby. I will definitely convince my parents to accept our relationship. Wait for me to come back!"

But now, as it was nearing dusk, not only had Gu Qingming not shown up, but there was also no news from her.

After waiting a little longer, Lin Haotian anxiously suggested, "Meier, should we call her and ask what's going on?"

Lan Ruomei was equally anxious. She paced around the room before waving her hand to stop him. "Let's wait a bit longer! Maybe she's still arguing with her parents."

She thought for a moment and continued, "Remember, from the first day you started dating her, Gu Jianguo was against it. It was my idea to have her get pregnant first. With a child, Gu Jianguo and his wife will have to acknowledge it. Acknowledging the child is the same as acknowledging your status. Since Gu Qingming is their only daughter, you being her husband means that the Gu Group will eventually be yours."

Lin Haotian's eyes lit up, and his anxious expression eased slightly. Hugging Lan Ruomei from behind, he said excitedly, "No, Meier, I should say that the Gu Group will eventually be ours."

As he spoke, his face brushed against Lan Ruomei's earlobe, his warm breath caressing her cheek, making her heart flutter with desire and causing her to let out a soft moan.

"Mm!"

Lan Ruomei, her voice tinged with lust, cooed, "Haotian, soon all of Haicheng will be ours. You'll be the chairman of the Gu Group, oh, I mean the Lin Group, and I'll be Mrs. Lin, a high-society lady. We won't have to live by anyone's rules anymore."

Holding Lan Ruomei, Lin Haotian also became aroused by her sweet voice. He blew a warm breath into her ear, his voice hoarse as he said, "Meier, let's go again!"

With that, they fell onto the simple bed, lost in their passion.

Little did they know, the person they were anxiously waiting for was just outside the door.

Gu Qingming was here to catch them in the act.

If not for her previous life, she would never have known that her so-called good husband and best friend had been in cahoots from the very beginning.

Or rather, from the start, they were the real lovers, while she, Gu Qingming, was just a mistress to be used for their enjoyment of wealth and luxury.

In the previous life, the title of "mistress" was the sin they pinned on her.

The two black-suited bodyguards following her listened to the intense sounds coming from inside, their brows furrowing slightly. Then one of them respectfully asked, "Miss, should we barge in now and drag them out?"

Internally, he was filled with indignation. The young lady had almost severed ties with her parents for this man. Yet here he was, in a shabby motel, fooling around with another woman. What was even more infuriating was that this woman was supposed to be the young lady's best friend.

Gu Qingming listened to the passionate sounds inside without flinching. After hearing the bodyguard's suggestion, she smiled coldly and replied in a clear, cool voice, "No need. If we go in now and interrupt their fun, it might anger the heavens."

The two bodyguards exchanged puzzled looks, wondering why the young lady seemed so calm.

They didn't have to wait long before the noise inside finally died down.

Gu Qingming had never known that Lin Haotian had such endurance.

Inside, Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei were cuddling. Suddenly, Lan Ruomei said, "Haotian, I'm hungry!"

Lin Haotian playfully pinched her nose and laughed, "You little glutton. Wait here, I'll go get you something to eat."

He got up and started getting dressed. Lan Ruomei picked up her phone to check the time, her brows furrowing once again.

"It's this late already, and she's still not here?"

Lin Haotian paused while dressing, his brows also furrowing with some confusion. "It's almost evening, isn't it?"

He glanced out the window to check the sky.

"It's nearly six o'clock!" Lan Ruomei replied.

She thought for a moment and added, "Haotian, call her directly and find out what's going on!"

"Okay!"

Lin Haotian picked up the high-end white smartphone from the bedside table.

After pressing a few buttons, a familiar ringtone suddenly came from outside the door, echoing in their ears.

Lin Haotian and Lan Ruomei were instantly startled.
