Chapter 127

Yu Duo was eating her soup in the kitchen, so when she saw Auntie Lian come back with a heavy expression, she asked, “What’s the matter?”

Auntie Lian repeated what Ah Chi had told her just now. Yu Duo listened to her and immediately understood that Fu Sinian had felt suspicious, and her spoon clattered down into her bowl. “Don’t worry, Auntie, I’ll go and have a look.”

She quickly got up and looked around. There was no movement from the direction of the study, so she crept over to Ah Chi’s room.

The door was half open and Ah Chi was inside packing his things.

“Ah Chi, is everything all right?”

Ah Chi looked back and his eyes glazed past Yu Duo’s face, drooping and not daring to look directly into her eyes. Eventually, he mumbled, “I’m alright.”

Yu Duo looked at the suitcase that was packed behind him and asked. “Sinian asked you to move out?”

Ah Chi nodded.

With Fu Sinian’s shrewdness, he must have sensed something.

But in the end, this was not a long-term solution. The baby in her belly was not Fu Sinian’s. In the future, when it was born and began to grow up, Fu Sinian was sure to spot something wrong.

When she thought to this point. Yu Duo felt it was necessary for her to have a serious conversation with Ah Chi.

So she stepped into the room, closed the door behind her, and whispered, “Ah Chi, I know how you feel about me, but you should know in your heart that I can’t keep this child. I hope you can help me.”

“Help you?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yu Duo gritted her teeth and said fiercely, “I can’t keep this child. Help me get rid of the child!”

“You can’t keep the child?” Ah Chi looked at her puzzled. “Why can’t you keep the child?”

“Why can’t I keep the child?” Yu Duo was slightly stupefied. Things had already come to this point, why was Ah Chi still pretending to be confused?

“What am I going to do after the baby is born and it grows to look more and more like you?”

Ah Chi looked muddled. “Why would Big Brother’s child look like me?”

“Don’t you know whose baby is in my belly?” Yu Duo was so angry that she really wanted to cut open Ah Chi’s head and see what was inside. When he took action, he was brave like a lion, so why was he stupid like a dog now?

“But you’re three months pregnant, so isn’t it Big Brother’s?”

“Two months!” Yu Duo corrected him, “I guess it must have been misdiagnosed by the hospital. Not to mention...” Her period had come in the last three months, so it was impossible for the baby to be three months old.

“If it’s two months, then the baby in your belly is...”

“It’s yours.”

“Mine?” Ah Chi sent her a startled look. For him, it was as if he had suddenly been struck by lightning. He was young and unable to maintain his calm, and the gloom and depression that had marred his face were instantly swept away by panic. “I... Sister-in-law, you... why is this child mine?”

He vehemently denied: “It can’t be!”

Although he had wanted to bear it all on his shoulders when he was in the study, it wasn’t really true! When did the baby become his?

When she heard what Ah Chi said, Yu Duo gritted her teeth angrily. He really dared to do it but not do admit it?

“You clearly told me before that it was your fault!”

Ah Chi’s lips were half open with shock, and it took him a moment to recover from Yu Duo’s words.

“I... my fault?”

“Have you forgotten? You told me before that if you had been more careful, I wouldn’t have ended up pregnant!”

As he recalled the conversations he had with Yu Duo, it seemed he really did say that. However, that’s not what he meant by those words, what he meant was...

Wait, was this all just his sister-in-law’s misunderstanding?

As if enlightened, he looked at Yu Duo carefully and said. “Sister-in-law, have you misunderstood something? I did say that, but what I meant at that time was that I shouldn’t have let you travel abroad alone because if I had been with you you wouldn’t have been bullied and... gotten pregnant with someone else’s child.”

“...what?”

The two people fell silent and the atmosphere in the room turned a little awkward.

Ah Chi coughed and said, “Sister-in-law, I just thought that you got pregnant while you were traveling abroad. I didn’t mean that the baby in your belly was mine.” Speaking of which, Ah Chi seemed to realize why Yu Duo had always been looking at him with gritted teeth the past few days, “Sister-in-law, I... how could I have done such a thing?”

“You didn’t do that to me?”

“How could I dare?!”

When she thought about it, it seemed that Ah Chi really hadn’t ever directly said that the baby in her belly was his.

“Then why did you admit that the baby in my belly was yours in front of your Big Brother in the study today?”

Ah Chi heaved a deep sigh. Eventually, he decided it would be better to explain this matter clearly. “At that time, I thought the baby in your belly was someone else’s but I didn’t think that Big Brother would believe that you were forced, so I thought... I could just say it was all my fault, and that I forced you, and then maybe...”

“Do you have water in your brain?” Yu Duo felt her head swelling. Ah Chi was usually so shrewd and meticulous when he did things, how could he drop the ball at such a critical moment?

“Did you think that if you said that, your Big Brother would let either of us go?”

In fact, Ah Chi had only said all that on the spur of the moment. After he had reflected on it a bit, he also felt that he had been too reckless and realized that he had almost hurt his sister-in-law. He lowered his head in silence.

Ah Chi didn’t speak, and Yu Duo also kept silent. Her cheeks flushed red, hot with shame.

This was so embarrassing.

Eventually, she thickened her scalp and asked again, “This child... are you sure it’s not yours?”

“Sister-in-law... how could I wrong Big Brother like that?”

Yu Duo smiled awkwardly in response. At the same time, deeper misgivings sprouted at the bottom of her heart.

Then whose kid was it?
