Li Yan had stiffened due to the sudden closeness with Lu Shu. He had responsively wanted to push her away. However, he remembered her injured feet and so, his hand that had been stretched out was dangling in mid-air due to hesitation.
Lu Shu caught sight of Li Yan’s hesitation. She went for a mile and pressed her body flush against Li Yan’s. She leaned closer to his ears and spoke in a flirtatious yet aggrieved manner, “Brother Yan, my feet hurt. Could you please carry me?”
When the passers-by saw the two of them snuggled up on a crowded street as if nobody was around, they pointed fingers at them.
Li Yan looked troubled when he heard the people gossiping. However, he could not vent out his emotions on a young lady. So, he said awkwardly, “Let’s not do this in front of the public. You can loosen your grip, and I’ll carry you back.”
“Brother Yan, do you mean that you will do this as long as it’s not in front of the public?” Lu Shu’s eyes sparkled and looked at Li Yan happily.
Li Yan’s expression looked stiff. He did not want to linger on this topic with Lu Shu anymore. So, he decided to keep quiet and with a straight face, he helped Lu Shu walk forward step by step.
On the other hand, Lu Shu did not know how to restrain herself. Instead, she took the opportunity and placed most of her weight on Li Yan. The next moment, she smiled and said, “Brother Yan, shall we get married?”
Li Yan shuddered. He nearly wanted to push Lu Shu away and fling her off.
“We’ve only been together for less than a month, and we still don’t know each other very well. Don’t you think it’s a bit too rash? Why not…”
Li Yan seemed to avoid the topic. As such, Lu Shu was very dissatisfied. She supported herself by holding on to Li Yan and stood up straight. She sneered and interrupted Li Yan, ” Brother Yan, do you mean you don’t want to be responsible for me? You know that we’ve already…”
Right after Lu Shu spoke, Li Yan’s expression instantly changed.
A month ago, the team had organized a gathering. That night, he was feeling down because of a certain thing and so, he drank more than usual. After that, he fell into unconsciousness.
When he woke up the next morning, he realized Lu Shu and him were already lying in the same bed, naked.
When Lu Shu woke up, she had cried and told him how beastly he had been the night before and how he had robbed her of her innocence. So, he had to be responsible for her.
Li Yan was an honest man. He had never been confronted with such before. He had no choice but to agree to her. Since then, the two had been maintaining a relationship like this.
In spite of it all, he had always been very resistant over their relationship. It was purely because he did not like this woman at all. In fact, he had someone else in his heart.
When Lu Shu saw Li Yan remaining silent, she got nervous. She looked away, bit her lips and said pitifully, “Brother Yan, I’m already pregnant with your child. If you really want to give up on us, I’ll lose my dignity to live on in this world… Sobs…”
“Pregnant with a child?!” Li Yan’s face turned white. ‘Could it be that night…’
Meanwhile, when Zhao Youlin heard this, she could not help but sneer to herself.
‘Pregnant with his child? If she really is pregnant, why is she still walking around in high heels? If she really is pregnant, a simple fall like just now, even if acted out, would have affected the fetus in her belly, much less the fierce battle at the harbor half a month ago.
‘Hehe! Only the honest and dumb Li Yan would fall for the woman’s words. If others were in his shoes, they would have seen through her at a single glance.’
