Chapter 5: I’m Pregnant

5 Chapter 5: I’m Pregnant Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Gong Xue’er had rarely seen Xia Yangyang so icy, her tone slightly changing: “So you really won’t forgive me? Xia Yangyang, you already have so much, why are you still fighting me for Haotian? You just can’t stand to see me succeed, right?” Xia Yangyang was at loss for words, what was Gong Xue’er’s logic here? It was clear Gong Xue’er was the one who intervened in her relationship with Lu Haotian first. But now, Xia Yangyang was the villain who just couldn’t bear to see Gong Xue’er happy. Xia Yangyang said: “Gong Xue’er, there’s nothing more to be said between us. I still have work to do, excuse me.” Just as Xia Yangyang was about to turn around and leave, Gong Xue’er grabbed her arm: “Xia Yangyang, let me tell you one more thing…” “Xue’er, what are you doing?” A tall figure suddenly appeared at the door. Lu Haotian had already walked over, a palpable anger evident on his face: “Gong Xue’er, how many times have I told you not to bother Yangyang?” Gong Xue’er instantly turned into a pitiful, aggrieved figure: “I only came here to ask Yangyang for her forgiveness. I’ve been begging her to forgive me… All of this is my fault, it has nothing to do with you.” Xia Yangyang had no idea that Gong Xue’er was such a good actress. Lu Haotian softened his gaze at Gong Xue’er. He turned to Xia Yangyang and said: “Yangyang, my dad got discharged from the hospital today. Would you be OK with coming over for dinner tonight? You’re angry at me, but that doesn’t mean you should be angry at my parents.” The Xias and the Lus were old friends, and Xia Yangyang had spent nearly half her childhood at the Lu’s. Lu Zhenghai and Liu Xinru truly cherished Xia Yangyang, just like their own daughter. Xia Yangyang asked: “When was Uncle Lu hospitalized?” Observing Xia Yangyang’s reaction, Lu Haotian saw a chance and said: “The usual. He just had a heart bypass surgery. This morning he was mentioning you, saying how he hasn’t seen you for a long while.” As Xia Yangyang was hesitating, Gong Xue’er could stand it no longer.

What should I do if she goes?” Tonight, there was a dinner party at the Lu family, and she knew Lu Haotian would surely invite Yangyang over. That’s why she had come early. If Xia Yangyang really went to the party, under the warmth and kindness of Lu Haotian’s parents, she might soften her stance. Then all Gong Xue’er’s efforts would have been in vain. She couldn’t let the two of them reconcile. Lu Haotian, caught off guard by the usually soft Gong Xue’er suddenly pulling this stunt, his face immediately hardened, and he said coldly: “What does that have to do with you? Stop being ridiculous.” Lu Haotian’s implication was more than clear. Gong Xue’er said: “I didn’t want to, but… I’m pregnant.” Her words were like a bolt of lightning. Gong Xue’er seemed to have completely changed, calmly pulling a stack of papers from her bag: “These are the ultrasound reports.” Xia Yangyang saw the line on the report stating six weeks of pregnancy. Xia Yangyang said: “Six weeks… That’s only a little over forty days?” But that incident had happened three months ago. A hint of a smile crossed Gong Xue’er’s lips, her gaze fixed on Xia Yangyang’s face: “That’s right, we’ve done it again after that, many times.” Lu Haotian roared in anger and shoved Gong Xue’er: “Gong Xue’er, shut your mouth!” Xia Yangyang laughed, turning to Lu Haotian she said: “Lu Haotian, do you think I’m a fool?” Lu Haotian panicked and grabbed Xia Yangyang’s arm: “Let me explain, Yangyang, let me explain.” Meanwhile, Gong Xue’er, almost knocked off her feet by Lu Haotian’s shove, felt cold inside. He didn’t care about the child in her womb, all he cared about was Xia Yangyang’s reaction. This made her hate Xia Yangyang even more. In the middle of all the chaos, the door to the conference room suddenly opened. Gu Qichen appeared, standing coldly at the entrance….
