Lu Lingche glanced at Lan Yuyi’s belly, then looked back at his mother, “Why the huge reaction?”
Even Lan Yuyi thought Madam Lu was overreacting. She was afraid that Lu Lingche would discover something, so she forced out a gentle smile: “I am indeed only five months along. It’s different for everyone. I’ve been taking care of myself very well, and the child is growing well. I’ve also put on quite a bit of weight. Isn’t it so, Aunt Yao?”
Madam Lu snapped out of her daze and realized she shouldn’t have made her suspicions so obvious.
She quickly dispelled the tension: “Yes, your mother and I have been taking good care of you. You look healthier and a little heavier than before.”
Then she turned to Qiao Lainan: “But, who are you? Why are you addressing my son as brother-in-law?”
Qiao Lainan was taken aback, “Son?”
“So, she’s actually Lingche’s mother?”
She had thought this was Lan Yuyi’s mother because they seemed so close just now!
She quickly lowered her head in respect and greeted Madam Lu: “Madam Lu, I am Qiao Yin’s cousin. My name is Qiao Lainan. I came here with my cousin today to visit my brother-in-law.”
Madam Lu’s face changed: “Qiao Yin’s cousin?!”
That’s when she noticed someone else standing not far away. It was Qiao Yin, the woman she detested deeply!
However, at this moment Qiao Yin wasn’t looking at her.
Instead, she was looking at Lan Yuyi’s belly.
Lan Yuyi had always worn dresses designed to hide her pregnancy, making it impossible to tell how big her belly was.
But today she was wearing a dress made of soft fabric that clearly outlined her belly.
Her grandmother had seen and treated many pregnant women, even providing prenatal care to some. In fact, this was one of her specialties.
So, Qiao had observed many pregnant women too.
Yuyi’s belly indeed looked like she was six months along, not five.
Just now, Lingche had said that he had been drugged, and when he woke up, Yuyi was in his bed. Then, Yuyi claimed she was pregnant.
In a flash, a suspicion arose in Qiao Yin’s mind – The child Yuyi was carrying might not be Lingche’s!
Confirming this was simple.
She slowly walked up to Yuyi: “Miss Lan, may I feel your pulse?”
Lan Yuyi’s pupils contracted suddenly, her heart rising to her throat!
Had Qiao Yin figured it out?!
Why else would she suddenly want to check her pulse?!
Damn it, she shouldn’t have come today! And she shouldn’t have listened to Madam Lu and worn this belly-revealing dress!
She lowered her eyes to hide her anxiety and retreated behind Madam Lu: “Aunt Yao…”
Of course, Madam Lu knew what she was afraid of. Since Qiao Yin had managed to heal her grandmother, it proved that her medical skills were impressive. If she were to check Yuyi’s pulse, she would definitely find out how far along her pregnancy was!
If it turned out that she was six months pregnant, it wouldn’t match up with the time when Yuyi and Lingche had slept together!
Madam Lu immediately put herself between Yuyi and Qiao Yin, assuming an authoritative demeanor: “Qiao Yin, are you trying to harm Yuyi again? You’re just jealous that she’s carrying Lingche’s baby and you’re always trying to make her miscarry. Get away! Yuyi is perfectly fine and doesn’t need you checking her pulse!”
Qiao Yin broke into a little smile: “Madam Lu, why are you so scared just because I want to check her pulse? Lingche is watching, I won’t harm Yuyi in front of him, right?”
” Hmph, do you think we believe that you would honestly check her pulse? I bet you can’t wait for Yuyi’s baby to be lost!”
“Madam Lu, you’ve misunderstood. I never wished for anything bad to happen to Miss Lan’s baby. I’ve already decided to divorce your son. It doesn’t matter to me who has his baby.”
Qiao Yin raised the corner of her lips as she said this, “Otherwise, given my ability, wouldn’t it take only a minute to make her miscarry? Do you think I would examine her just to harm her in front of you all?”
