"Well... maybe we’re overthinking it."
"... Ju Zi, can’t you be more certain?" Jian Liangtong was about to cry, her eyes welling up with tears.
"There’s always a chance of anything happening," Jin Jumo said in a low voice, looking a bit worried.
If she were really pregnant, the Jian Family would surely be in chaos!
Jian Liangtong’s family had many relatives, and her mom was the neighborhood committee director, well-liked by everyone around, most of whom watched Liang Tong grow up. If news of her pregnancy spread, the scene would be unimaginable...
And in Liang Tong’s family, her mom, Jian’s mom, had always been the strict one. Compared to Mr. Jian, Liang Tong feared Mrs. Jian more.
Because her daughter was too beautiful, Mrs. Jian had always been worried, fearing she wouldn’t learn well or that she’d be pursued by bad n. Ever since Liang Tong was young, Mrs. Jian warned her not to date early and not to date during college. Whenever Liang Tong ca ho for holidays, it was rare for her to leave the house, and even if she did, she had to be back within a set ti.
Even if Liang Tong didn’t agree with Mrs. Jian, she had to respect the feather duster her mom wielded.
Mrs. Jian had a special skill: she could make it hurt without leaving a single mark... scary, right? Hehe.
Watching the video of Jian Liangtong’s anxious and pale face, Jin Jumo, having experienced similar monts, could understand well.
"Liang Tong, does your mom know about you and Huo Shaojun?" Jin Jumo asked.
"..." Jian Liangtong was still imrsed in the panic of a possible pregnancy. At the sudden ntion of her mom by Jin Jumo, her eyes widened instantly, and she stamred, "I’m dood, Ju Zi, I’m really dood. If my mom finds out I’m pregnant before marriage, she’d definitely break my legs!"
Jian Liangtong spoke as if she were already pregnant.
Jin Jumo twitched her lips, "Don’t worry too soon; what if we’re all wrong?"
Jian Liangtong covered her eyes, "But I have a bad feeling."
"..."
"Ju Zi," Jian Liangtong suddenly put down her hand. Trying to remain calm with her pale face, she stared at Jin Jumo with stubborn determination, "No matter what, since fate brought this child, I can’t abandon or give up on her. No matter how many hardships I face, I will give birth to her."
"..."
Jin Jumo didn’t even know what to say about this silly girl!
Gathering her thoughts, Jin Jumo looked at her and said, "Liang Tong, it’s not that I want to throw cold water on you, but are you sure you’re pregnant before you decide to have the baby? And does Mrs. Jian know about you and Huo Shaojun?"
Jian Liangtong automatically ignored the first part of the question, lovingly caressed her belly, and glared at Jin Jumo, "She probably doesn’t know yet."
If she knew, she would have already co after , but since there hasn’t been any news, Liang Tong thought she didn’t know yet.
"Doesn’t know?"
Jin Jumo was slightly surprised, "With such a big fuss recently about you and Huo Shaojun, Mrs. Jian doesn’t know?"
"My mom isn’t into celebrities, she just loves watching local family dramas. And you know what my mom’s like, a neighborhood committee busybody who loves getting involved in everything. Except for occasionally rembering when she’s bored or when my dad checks up on with a couple of calls. Frankly, after the incident happened, I wasn’t worried she’d find out, because she simply wouldn’t know," Jian Liangtong said.
"... Is that so?" Jin Jumo was skeptical.
Although Mrs. Jian was strict with her, she cherished her daughter dearly. How could she be so relaxed, not caring or paying attention to such a beautiful daughter?
"Liang Tong, have you thought about telling your parents about you and Huo Shaojun?" Jin Jumo asked tentatively.
"NO, NO, NO," Jian Liangtong shook her head in resistance, "Back when I entered college, my mom spent over two hours warning not to date in college, or else... or else she followed up with at least ten threats. If she finds out I disobeyed and got a boyfriend, with Miss Jian’s extraordinary action capability, giving a beating would be getting off easy."
Jian Liangtong shook her head fearfully.
Jin Jumo’s lips curled into a slight smile, "So, even if you’re really pregnant, you’re not planning to tell Mrs. Jian, and you’re going to secretly have the baby yourself?"
"..." Jian Liangtong was montarily speechless.
"Even if you plan to secretly give birth, would Huo Shaojun agree? You and he are still just boyfriend and girlfriend; having a child without proper status might even cause issues with the child’s registration. Besides, as your belly grows, if Mr. and Mrs. Jian miss you and co looking, how can you avoid them? Once maybe, but what about two or three tis? Won’t they beco suspicious?" Jin Jumo calmly analyzed.
Jian Liangtong listened dejectedly, her eyes dodging, and managed a dry laugh, "You’re talking as if I’m really pregnant... huh..."
"..."
Just after ending the video call with Jin Jumo and closing the window, Huo Shaojun walked in dressed in costu, followed by Guan Yu.
Knowing that her recent strange reactions might be signs of pregnancy, facing Huo Shaojun now, Jian Liangtong’s gaze was sowhat evasive.
Huo Shaojun sat beside her, staring at her with cold eyes, "Weren’t you saying you were tired? Why aren’t you resting in the car?"
Jian Liangtong avoided looking at him, instead looking at Guan Yu across from her and replying, "I chatted with Ju Zi just now, didn’t get a chance to sleep yet."
Guan Yu has a delicate, fair complexion, looking like a genteel scholar. From the mont he noticed Jian Liangtong quietly watching him, even when answering Huo Shaojun’s questions, her gaze never left him.
At first, he could barely pretend not to notice, but as ti went on, Guan Yu couldn’t hold it in. Clenching his fists as if pleading for rcy, he said, "Little lady, can you stop staring at like that? If you have any instructions, just say it, feel free to say it, don’t hesitate. But I have only one request, don’t let the person beside you glare at anymore, okay?"
"..." Jian Liangtong’s mouth twitched. Her eyes scanned Huo Shaojun, and when her gaze touched his cold face, she quickly retracted it. She touched her hair by her neck and moved her eyes away from Guan Yu, instead staring unblinkingly out the window.
Seeing soone’s face getting darker, Guan Yu could clearly sense a murderous aura swirling inside the car. Rubbing his arms, he decisively fled the scene.
Once Guan Yu left, the atmosphere inside the car felt even more cramped and tense.
Her profile constantly felt like it was being scraped by an ice blade. Jian Liangtong licked her lips, slowly turning her head toward Huo Shaojun, asking weakly, "Are you, are you thirsty?"
Huo Shaojun frowned, "What happened when I wasn’t here?"
Jian Liangtong shifted her eyes around, speaking softly, "Nothing."
"Then why didn’t you dare to look at just now?" Huo Shaojun stared directly at her.
"I, I didn’t, hehe." Jian Liangtong waved her hand, chuckling guiltily.
Huo Shaojun’s sharply carved handso face quickly darkened, letting out a cold laugh. His thin lips pressed into a straight line as he turned his gaze away, saying nothing.
Jian Liangtong swallowed, realizing he was upset, unsure of what to say.
Her fingertips dug into her palm; Jian Liangtong hesitated, slowly reaching to tug at his sleeve.
Huo Shaojun remained motionless.
Jian Liangtong moved closer to his side, her small hand grasping his thumb, shaking it gently, "Brother, are you mad?"
Huo Shaojun didn’t shake off her hand but said nothing.
Jian Liangtong tilted her face, rrily admiring his traditional costu, "Brother, your outfit is incredibly handso."
"..." Huo Shaojun’s corner of the mouth twitched, his cold eyes slightly turning to her, "Are you going to say it or not?"
Jian Liangtong hesitated, her eyelashes drooping, and rested her head on his arm. After a while, she spoke with her clear, soft voice, "I was thinking about when it would be appropriate to take you ho to et my parents."
Huo Shaojun was slightly stunned, lowering his gaze to her. The coldness in his eyes vanished instantly, his thin lips curled subtly, and he gently cradled her right cheek with his large hand, looking at her tenderly, "Are you serious?"
Looking at the affection in his eyes, Jian Liangtong felt like she was drowning in it, nodding involuntarily. Her chin leaned against his chest while her fingers lightly tapped against it.
Huo Shaojun’s previously stern face softened, grasping her hand and lightly squeezing it in his palm. He then lifted it to his lips and kissed it gently, whispering, "I’m ready anyti."
Jian Liangtong was montarily stunned, lifting her head to look at him. Seeing his face full of gentleness, seemingly very pleased, her heart thumped, "Let think about it, alright?"
"Mm." Huo Shaojun smiled, his slender, clean hand rubbed Jian Liangtong’s face, then leaned down for a kiss on her lips’ corner.
Jian Liangtong slightly tugged her lips, reaching out to wrap her arms around his neck, moved her little mouth to one side, aligning their lips together for a series of pecks.
Jian Liangtong’s eyes curved with joy, filled with little sparks of happiness.
Huo Shaojun looked at her dotingly, his eyes dark and bright, reflecting only Jian Liangtong’s image.
"Oh my... see no evil, see no evil..."
Guan Yu rushed to the car door, only to find the two who were sulking now kissing, startling him to retreat imdiately.
Jian Liangtong’s face turned bright red. She opened her small mouth to bite Huo Shaojun’s lower lip.
"Don’t bite too hard." Huo Shaojun chuckled, pinching her chin, his cold eyes flashing with delight, "Are you a little dog?"
Jian Liangtong humd, letting go of his neck and giving him a push, "You should go now, maybe the director wants you for the next scene."
Huo Shaojun raised an eyebrow, his long arm wrapped around her slim waist, pulling her into his arms for a squeeze, then released her and quickly planted a kiss on her lips, "Wait for obediently in the car."
Leaving these words behind, he got out of the car.
Jian Liangtong watched his upright, handso figure walk past the car, then suddenly lay back on the sofa with a whoosh, exhaling deeply.
Unconsciously, her hand landed on her belly again.
Could there really be a baby inside already, a baby of hers and his?
Ever since Jin Jiancheng didn’t wake up long after the operation, Jin Jumo had insomnia. It had been a long ti since she lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
After Jin Jumo turned her cumberso body again, an arm reached over from behind, gently embracing her.
