"Mu Weilan, twenty-one years old, graduated from North City University, no experience with men or women, healthy body..."

The man sitting across from her looked through the information, closed it, and frowned slightly, asking, "Are you sure you want to be a surrogate mother?"

Mu Weilan clutched the hem of her dress with both hands, her delicate and youthful face showing urgency and panic, "I'm sure, I really need the money."

"How much do you want?"

She paused for a moment, her lips quivering with a lack of confidence as she said in a low voice, "One... one million."

The man's frown deepened, "During the ten months from getting pregnant to giving birth, for the sake of confidentiality, you cannot leave this place even a single step, and you are not allowed to contact anyone. Can you do that?"

Mu Weilan's knuckles were clenched white, she took a deep breath and trembled as she spoke, "I... I can agree, but I have one condition."

"Speak."

"After signing this agreement, if I get pregnant, the one million yuan will be transferred to this designated account of mine immediately; I need it urgently."

Heh, so we've met a silly girl who only wants money.

A trace of disdain flashed in the man's eyes, "Okay, no problem. Get ready, the patron will come at eight o'clock tonight. That patron is not easy to serve, you'd better get pregnant within a month, or else the one million yuan might just be water under the bridge."

...

That evening, it was almost eight o'clock.

Mu Weilan was cleaned and sent into a pitch-black room in the villa, where she couldn't see her fingers in front of her face.

The room was so quiet that she could hear the ticking of the clock on the wall.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was suddenly opened, and a man walked in from the darkness, his figure obscured by the blackness. She wanted to hug herself, but her body was grabbed by a large hand and tossed onto the bed.

"One million yuan, quite a bold demand."

The man's cold and mocking voice rang out in the still air, piercing Mu Weilan's heart like fresh blood.

She tightly closed her eyes, biting her lip and trembling as she said, "If you're going to do it, just do it quickly, don't waste words!"

The man seemed to scoff disdainfully, and then pounced on her...

Pain...!

Mu Weiluan bit her lip tightly, tilted her head back, tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes, slowly closing her eyes...

As long as she could get through this night, Mu Corporation would be saved, and her father wouldn't have to go to jail for being unable to pay off his debts...

She gritted her teeth against the pain, wrapping her arms around the man's neck, pressing her soft red lips against his, using a naive yet alluring voice to tease him: "Take me, hard..."

The man spoke frostily in her ear: "Don't regret it."

...

The whole night, Mu Weiluan nearly died, her whole body aching unbearably, feeling like she was falling apart, unable to move a single finger.

The sunlight shone brightly through the window curtains into her eyes. The man from last night had already left. One of the servants pushed open the door, speaking in a formal, cold voice: "Before you get pregnant, the master will come every night. If you still haven't gotten pregnant after a month, pack your things and leave."

Mu Weiluan clenched her fists. She would definitely get pregnant, definitely.

For seven whole nights, endless violent lovemaking, as if trapped in hell, worse than death...

A month later, she was tested and found to be pregnant.

"One million yuan, our master has already had it deposited into that account. From now on, you can focus on nurturing the pregnancy!"

Mu Weiluan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, excitedly grabbing the servant's hand, "I want to call my dad, ask if he's okay, ask if he received that one million yuan, please help me, please? I promise I won't say anything! I promise... Please..."

Perhaps the middle-aged maid was moved by how pitiful she looked, her brow furrowed slightly, somewhat touched, "If you want to say something, I can send him a text message. But only this once!"

...

Ten months later, Mu Weiluan lay on the delivery bed in the villa, drenched in sweat.

Piercing cries echoed through the room. The female doctor calmly urged her on, "Push harder, harder, the baby's head is almost out!"

Mu Weiluan gritted her teeth, and with one final push, the infant was delivered.

A loud cry of a newborn baby.

The female doctor swiftly placed the infant into the incubator, "Take it away immediately.

Lying on the bed with a pool of blood below her body, Mu Weiluan had a pale face with tears and sweat intertwined. She weakly uttered, "Please let me see my child for a moment..."

However, her request was to no avail. The child, placed in an incubator, was quickly taken away.

She didn't even know if her child was a boy or a girl...

Outside the villa, a luxurious limited-edition Maybach limousine stood in black.

The man in the car frowned slightly as he looked at the wrinkled and bloodied newborn in the incubator.

"Mr. Fu, this child resembles you."

The man's voice was clear, cold, and deep, "...How do you see the resemblance? Go to the hospital."

"Yes."

On the birthing bed, Mu Weiluan stumbled and crawled up, gazing out the window. All that was left for her was the silhouette of a black car.

...

On the second day after giving birth, Mu Weiluan didn't even have time to recuperate before rushing back to the Mu family residence.

Mu Weiluan stood outside, contemplating several reasons for her ten-month disappearance. After taking a deep breath, she was about to press the doorbell when she noticed that the door was ajar.

She gently pushed the door open and found no one in the living room.

Strange, no one was home? Even if her father went to work, Auntie Shen and Wanyue should be here.

As she was about to go upstairs, two familiar figures flashed across the upstairs corridor—

A man's large hand caressed a woman's perky buttocks, and the woman punched his chest with her fist, coyly scolding, "Stop it, when are you going to marry me? You're not still thinking about that Mu Weiluan, are you? She disappeared without a word for ten months..."

"How could I still be thinking about her? Back then, I was with her only because she was the Mu family's daughter. Compared to you, she's too boring." The man leaned towards the woman's ear and said intimately, "Especially in bed, she's nowhere near as versatile as you."

The woman melted into the man's embrace with coquettish charm. "Hmph, it's because of you that my legs are still sore."

Downstairs, the color instantly drained from Mu Weiluan's face as she angrily and coldly glared at the shamelessly intimate pair upstairs.

The man uttering such vulgar words to her stepsister was none other than her boyfriend, Jian Zhe.

She had only been gone for ten months, yet her supposedly good boyfriend had already hooked up with her good sister, Shen Wanyue!

Scumbag man, vile woman!
