At this moment, Huangfu Ruixiang was truly in turmoil. He wanted to take direct action and pull Li Yiran out, but with Nangong Zilin watching, he didn’t dare to act recklessly, afraid of raising suspicion.
It was important to note that Nangong Zilin was the legitimate daughter of the Nangong family’s main lineage. With her status, even if she didn’t choose him, she had other options.
He absolutely couldn’t allow Li Yiran to sabotage his marriage.
“Uncle, Auntie, I came here today because I have something very important to tell you.” Even facing so many people, Li Yiran didn’t back down. “I’m pregnant.”
As soon as these words were uttered, it was like a thunderbolt on a clear day, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
Huangfu Ruixiang looked at Li Yiran with mixed emotions. Initially, hearing this news brought joy as it was his first child. However, it was followed by displeasure and irritation because Li Yiran chose to reveal this in front of Nangong Zilin.
“Li Yiran, get out.” Zhongyu Liuying couldn’t hold back. She stood up, disregarding any semblance of decorum, and pulled Li Yiran, intending to usher her out. “Who gave you the right to blurt out such things here? Your pregnancy has nothing to do with us! Get out, right now.”
At this moment, she regretted her decision to take in Li Yiran. If she hadn’t, Li Yiran wouldn’t have had the chance to seduce Ruixiang. Despite promising to let Li Yiran stay by Ruixiangs side, now the latter was pushing her luck, even daring to covet Ruixiangs wife status.
Even a fool wouldn’t believe that Li Yiran didn’t know what was going on. Li
Yiran was undoubtedly doing this intentionally to sabotage Ruixiang and Nangong Zilin’s marriage. Otherwise, why bring up her pregnancy in such a situation?
Li Yiran was involuntarily dragged out. She looked towards Huangfu Ruixiang for help, but he was avoiding eye contact.
“Auntie, wait a moment.” The one speaking was Nangong Zilin. She stood up, wearing a composed smile, and said, “l have some questions for this young lady. Can I ask a few questions first?”
As Nangong Zilin spoke, everyone’s movements froze.
Zhongyu Liuying turned to Nangong Zilin, her smile seeming forced. “Zilin, this is a distant relative of mine, young and playful. Just likes to make mischief.”
“Auntie, there’s no need for that.” Nangong Zilin shook her head with a smile. “l don’t have any ulterior motives. I just want to know the connection between this lady’s pregnancy and Ruixiang. Why did she come to see Ruixiang today?”
Zhongyu Liuyings expression turned peculiar. She quickly disguised it with a smile and said, “Didn’t I say earlier that she was just joking? She’s not pregnant at all.”
“Zilin, let her leave first!” Huangfu Ruixiang spoke up. “Today is your first visit. Don’t let unrelated people spoil the mood.”
“You guys…” Li Yiran seemed to have finally grasped the situation. She appeared deeply affected, her face filled with sorrow. When she looked at Huangfu Ruixiang, her eyes were accusing.
Her hesitant, tearful expression evoked sympathy from anyone who saw it.
After Ye Lengan witnessed Li Yiran’s performance, she couldn’t help but silently commend her.
Indeed, silence was golden in this instance! Without uttering a word, everything was said. It seemed that Li Yiran had truly disrupted today’s meeting.
It remained uncertain how much of Huangfu Ruixiangs feelings for Li Yiran would endure after this incident. Undoubtedly, Li Yiran had made a risky move! Choosing a day like today to appear not only disrupted Huangfu Ruixiangs marriage but also diminished his guilt and pity for her.
However, this Nangong Zilin didn’t seem to be a straightforward person. Remaining calm when witnessing her boyfriend’s ambiguous connection showed that her feelings for Huangfu Ruixiang weren’t deeply rooted..
