"...I..." Lou Xinyu was still hesitating.
Lou Zhaonian’s face turned livid with anger, he couldn’t hold back anymore, and suddenly stood up, slapping Lou Xinyu across the face!
Truly, this child is beyond redemption!
"You fool! Speak now!" Lou Zhaonian was almost driven to madness...
Were all his years of plotting to be ruined like this?
Lou Xinyu was stunned by the slap!
Though Grandpa had occasionally been strict over the years, he had never hit her!
Now... Grandpa actually hit her?
Her fair cheek quickly showed a handprint, indicating how hard Lou Zhaonian had slapped her.
Lou Xining also froze for a mont, surprised at Grandpa’s intense anger.
He hurried over to help Lou Xinyu up, "Just say it! Grandpa is angry! Xinyu, listen to your brother, you can’t hide it."
"Brother Xining, I..." Lou Xinyu was still shaking her head.
"Haven’t you always liked Xing Chen? How could..." Lou Xining sighed.
As soon as Lou Xinyu heard the na Xing Chen, she fell silent.
She had promised Brother William not to tell... Who would have known the pregnancy test she hurriedly bought would be discovered by a servant!
Her friend ntioned that an embryo could be detected with a pregnancy test about two days after implantation in the uterus.
This was only the third day... She had been too impatient!
The thought of possibly carrying Brother William’s child made her heart race uncontrollably!
Seeing her like this, an outrageous possibility flashed through Lou Xining’s mind, "Could it be Xing Chen?"
"..." Lou Xinyu continued to stay silent, but this silence seed to confirm it even more.
Beside them, Lou Zhaonian froze upon hearing this.
Everyone waited for Lou Xinyu’s reaction, and finally, unable to resist, she nodded slightly, tacitly admitting Lou Xining’s words.
She couldn’t hide it.
Though she always spoke stubbornly, she feared pain and being hit.
All these years, she’d always been the high and mighty young lady. When had Grandpa ever hit her?
Following her nod, everyone in the living room fell into silence.
After a mont of imnse shock, a hint of joy surprisingly surfaced in Lou Zhaonian’s old, murky eyes...
As for Lou Xining, he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
Impossible... Xing Chen was not the kind of person to pretend; if he didn’t like soone, he wouldn’t be affectionate. How could he...
Could Xing Chen also be just a usual guy, driven by physical desires?
...
When Xing Chen woke up in the morning, Ran Xiangsi was still asleep.
The eight o’clock sunlight was just right; Xing Chen had returned from his morning run when he received a call from the Lou Family.
On the other end, Lou Zhaonian’s voice was unusually cheerful, "Chen’er, did you handle last night’s matter well? Do co over and visit often..."
Xing Chen frowned at his words, unable to grasp Lou Zhaonian’s intentions but politely replied, "It’s handled. Take good care of yourself, Grandpa Lou. I’ll visit you next ti."
"Good, good..." Lou Zhaonian said, breaking into laughter.
Xing Chen found it increasingly confusing, trying to gauge what Lou Zhaonian wanted to say. But evidently, Lou Zhaonian didn’t elaborate and hung up after a few words.
Just as Xing Chen set down his phone and walked into the living room, he saw Ran Xiangsi descending the stairs, already dressed.
Their eyes t in mid-air, colliding for a mont.
Before Xing Chen could speak, he heard a disdainful snort from her direction, "Hmph!"
