Ran Xueyi was unsure whether Song Yu Han would agree to her plans. However, she didn't want to keep them from him. And so, she decided to come clean before any misunderstanding could grow.
"It's not that I don't want to have a child. Truly, I really want to have at least one or two. But..." Ran Xueyi looked down and sighed.
Song Yu Han suddenly patted her head after being too silent for a bit: "I know. You wouldn't have gone through that procedure if you really didn't want a child. And I understand why you must have felt this way right now."
Song Yu Han already read through the information that his special secretary had handed over to him. Ran Xueyi's information was in there. Of course, Song Yu Han also saw several pictures of the two lovers who deceived his wife.
Thinking about how Yang Baihua almost married his wife and would continue lying to her, Song Yu Han was filled with deep anger and disgust for Yang Baihua and his secretary. If he could, he would have already thrown them somewhere where no one could find them.
However, Song Yu Han wouldn't raise a hand and help Ran Xueyi unless necessary and she asks for it.
He knew that his wife was an independent woman, capable of anything if she put her mind into it. He wouldn't underestimate her abilities just because of her past.
"But what about you?" Ran Xueyi asked.
"I am not in a hurry and I can wait for you." Song Yu Han answered.
"And what if it'll take years?" Ran Xueyi frowned.
For her to climb up to the top of the entertainment world, it would probably take Ran Xueyi a few years.
"Even if it takes 10 years, 20 years. I can wait..." Song Yu Han didn't want her to worry about useless things. A child doesn't define their marriage. It will strengthen their relationship and make their lives even happier. However, Song Yu Han wouldn't force her.
Ran Xueyi sighed in relief.
Song Yu Han pinched her cheeks and said, "Go to sleep. I will wake you up when morning comes."
"What about you? Don't you need to sleep?" Ran Xueyi asked.
Song Yu Han shook his head. "I already had enough sleep earlier in the airplane."
"Alright."
After a few minutes, Ran Xueyi finally fell back to sleep. Seeing her eyes closed, Song Yu Han leaned over and kissed her on the forehead. He was being careful and gentle not to wake her up.
Song Yu Han shifted his gaze to the bedside table, his eyes lingered on his phone. Then, he put aside the reports in his hands and reached for his phone.
He called the old lady from his mother's clinic. The phone call was quickly answered by the other.
"Auntie Jiu, did I disturb your rest?" Song Yu Han's voice was cold yet there was a hint of gentleness in his tone.
The other side answered with a laugh. "Xiao Han, do you think this old lady will have time to rest when I'm working in a maternity clinic? Why did you call anyway?"
Song Yu Han heard the loud noises from the other side of the phone and guessed that a patient had arrived so he didn't prolong the conversation and said, "I called to ask for a favor. Can you take my sample from the clinic and send it back to me?"
"Why?" Aunt Jiu gave a slight start at the sudden request.
Previously, she was also quite surprised when Song Yu Han came to the clinic a month ago and asked to look for a surrogate mother for his child. At that time, Aunt Jiu was deeply saddened and disappointed, thinking that the young man gave up all hope to find true love and create a family because of what happened to his mother.
In the end, the old lady didn't stop him and even hoped that the child would bring happiness to him, but Song Yu Han suddenly changed his mind! Why did he ask for this favor...
"Did something happen? Are you alright? Xiao Han, if you don't feel good, your Uncle Zhan has time to accompany you to the hospital." Aunt Jiu was worried for him and even ignored the nurse, who was calling her over to the operating room.
"I'm alright and nothing happened. I just don't want to continue the surrogacy process anymore." Song Yu Han's answer was simple and clear.
After saying a few more assuring words and after he calmed Aunt Jiu, Song Yu Han hung up the call. However, instead of going back to read his reports, Song Yu Han dialed another number. The number belonged to his Special Assistant Guo.
Suddenly the entire room was plunged into coldness as their conversation continued. When the call ended, Special Assistant Guo, who was abruptly woken up by his boss's call, fell into a trance and wondered if he was being haunted by a vengeful ghost.
No, it wasn't a ghost. A devil whispered to his ears during the devil's hours!
...
The next day, Ran Xueyi had breakfast with Song Yu Han before she was ushered by Liu Ran to meet the broker who would handle everything for her to set up her company. Brokers have a very important role in the business world. They connect each businesses and businessmen and businesswomen together through them.
Of course, there are some brokers who couldn't resist money and thus, would only stick close to one person or two. They also cost a lot more than you think. One broker could amount to millions and some even tens of millions. There were also some cheaper brokers, but if you don't want to be scammed and given a useless connection, one must avoid them at all cost.
The broker that Liu Ran introduced to Ran Xueyi was called Celeste Chang. She's of Filipino-Chinese descent and has been in the brokering industry for five years now. But don't underestimate her just because she played in the industry for only five years because she already has several big shots in her lists of clients and has been in contact with them ever since.
When Ran Xueyi met Celeste Chang, she was in for a bit of a shock. Celeste was younger than she thought and a bit of a smaller height around 5'1.
And when they first saw each other, the first thing that Celeste said to her was, "I'm not a middle schooler."
Ran Xueyi wanted to laugh, but she couldn't. Not in front of the person in concern.
It was true that Celeste was small and really looked like she was a middle school student. But Ran Xueyi didn't look down on her. This woman was the one Liu Ran chose as her broker, of course, she should be quite useful.
