Chapter 15

Deception

Shen Rui and Zhao Boyuan watched as Wang Qiuxia drank it all, and both their faces went pale.

A few minutes later, Wang Qiuxia began to feel that something was wrong. Without warning, she farted, and her face went red with shame. Then, she rushed to the bathroom. Unfortunately, the feeling came to her way too quickly, and it came out before she managed to run into the bathroom.

The birthday banquet could no longer continue with the progress of events, and Wang Qiuxia, who had gone to the toilet, didn’t come out until one hour later.

After two hours had passed, Wang Qiuxia had no strength left to walk. Hence, several people had to hold on to her to send her to the car, and they drove her to the hospital.

As everyone was busy helping Wang Qiuxia and the guests had also left the banquet, no one paid any attention to Qin Se.

Therefore, she enjoyed the feast all by herself and walked out of the hotel feeling refreshed. Then, she smoothed out her clothes and looked around, planning to hail a cab.

However, instead of a cab, a luxury car pulled over in front of her.

As the car pulled up beside her, the window was wound down, and Qin Se saw a face that made her quiver. For a split-second, she contemplated just turning around and running away.

Alas, as soon as she turned around, two sturdy men in black suits blocked her way. They reached out their hands and said, “Miss Qin, please!”

Qin Se clutched the bag in her hand tightly, and her face turned dramatically pale.

The door of the car opened silently. Not daring to look at the person inside, Qin Se looked around, ground her teeth, and bent down to get into the car.

The car slowly started, and Qin Se began fidgeting. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The man beside her hadn’t spoken a word, and the atmosphere inside the car was quiet and awkward. There seemed to be some sort of cool breeze blowing around.

Qin Se turned her head a little to peek at Gu Jingyuan, and she looked at his perfect face from the side. His beauty made her heart thump a few times violently.

Qin Se’s palms broke out in a layer of cold sweat, and she said carefully, “Uncle... last time...”

“Last time?”

“Back at the... hotel...” Qin Se reminded him timidly.

“Oh.”

There were a million things that wanted to burst out of Qin Se’s mouth.

”Oh?’ What do you mean by that?! Shouldn’t you express some sort of opinion?! After all, we did sleep together before!’

She touched her nose and whispered, “You see. Both of us... we’re adults. In fact... I don’t care...”

Before Qin Se could finish her sentence, she heard Gu Jingyuan say icily, “Is it a bad thing to stay alive?”

Qin Se froze. What... what should she answer?

Of course, it was good to be alive, but... but she hadn’t done anything that would warrant her death!

“Ahem... Let’s skip that topic. Actually, I wanted to tell you that I’m not pregnant. It’s true! If you don’t believe me, we can go to the hospital and do the examination now. Besides... hitting the target after just one time, the chances aren’t that big…”

Gu Jingyuan frowned slightly. “Not... that big?”

Qin Se’s face suddenly blushed red. How did she... Was it her, or had the topic suddenly started to drift sideways?

“Uh... I don’t mean that Uncle isn’t manly enough. The thing is, the probability… the probability... pregnancy depends on the probability. If it were that easy to get pregnant, there wouldn’t be so many couples who are childless, right? Don’t worry. I’ve always been disciplined in what I do. You don’t have to worry about anything, and on top of that...”

Qin Se did her best to persuade Gu Jingyuan, hoping that he could stop haunting the matter and be rest assured that she wasn’t pregnant.

She went on, and on, and on, when suddenly, Gu Jingyuan asked her out of nowhere, “Do you mean to say that since we weren’t successful at first, we should work on it a few more times?”
