Chapter 675: Chapter 675: The Big Reveal of the Behind-the-Scenes Financial Backer
Two lines… that meant she was pregnant.
…Did it have to be so accurate?
Although she had already anticipated this possibility, Zhixi still felt unprepared for the result.
She felt her breathing grow heavy, hurriedly threw the pregnancy test into the toilet, and pressed the flush button.
With the sound of flushing water, Zhixi walked out of the bathroom, her bewildered expression instantly giving her away.
Pei Yuanchen stood up from the ground, walked up to her, and clicked his tongue, “Looks like it’s true? It’s hard to tell, He Jingyao sure works fast!”
“…You’re not allowed to tell anyone for now! Did you hear me!” Zhixi glared at him furiously.
“If I’m in a good mood,” someone laughed maliciously.
Zhixi kicked him in frustration!
Pei Yuanchen showed no reaction, raising an eyebrow at her, “You don’t want me to tell anyone…what are you planning to do? Don’t tell me you don’t want this child?”
“…Of course not,” Zhixi glanced at him irritably, “Anyway, if anyone’s going to tell, it should be me!”
Pei Yuanchen made a gesture of surrender.
Zhixi returned to her room, looked at the half-packed luggage, and suddenly couldn’t help but laugh.
Just yesterday, she had planned to leave Yangdong City immediately, never to come back… but now, it seemed she could never leave.
Her hand cautiously rested on her abdomen, still unbelieving that there was already an embryo growing inside… When she was pregnant with Xiaobao, she had been distracted by too many other emotions and hadn’t purely felt the joy of a new life coming.
…Maybe Xiaobao had guessed right, maybe this time it would be a little sister.
Her emotions surged with excitement, and she felt an urge to share the news, but unfortunately, she didn’t plan to let He Jingyao know yet, so after thinking it over, she found no one to share with.
She had no choice but to log onto Weibo on her phone, but she immediately got distracted by the trending topic about Lu Qixi.
“Lu Qixi’s Secret Financial Backer Exposed! Mysterious H Family Revealed!”
She widened her eyes, clicked on it to read more, and found that the so-called mysterious H family was none other than the He Family., only the reporter who wrote the article didn’t really understand the He family at all, it was all unfounded speculation.
Regarding He Jingyao being Lu Qixi’s sponsor… reportedly, someone had seen this mysterious sponsor competing with a prominent figure for Lu Qixi… The commentary was even more enticing than the scandal itself.
Zhixi was speechless.
Just then, her phone rang. Zhixi focused her eyes and saw the name Ning Yichen flickering cheerfully on her screen.
She cleared her throat and answered with a “Hello”.
“Did you see the trending search?” he asked calmly.
“I saw it,” Zhixi said in a low voice, “What’s going on?”
“Don’t get me wrong, He Jingyao was trying to help me out,” Ning Yichen hurriedly explained, “You’re not mad, are you?”
“Hmm, I am very angry,” Zhixi couldn’t help but laugh, “But… netizens really do have rich imaginations! Hahaha!”
Only then did Ning Yichen realize he had been tricked, his brow twitched, “…Su Zixi, you’ve gotten naughty!”
“Ahem… Speaking seriously, is Qixi alright?”
“She’s fine, she’s with me right now,” Ning Yichen paused then added, “Hang on, I’m coming to pick you up.”
Zhixi was taken aback, “You’re coming to pick me up? Why?”
