Capítulo 893: Chapter 893: I’m Pregnant
After Lai Wenyan finished giving his instructions, he caught a glimpse of a servant coming out of the kitchen and told them to make a late-night snack for Tang Li, then went back to his room.
In the master bedroom, Ouyang Qian was applying skincare products after taking a shower.
The wine-red slip dress clung to her body, shining in the light of the bedside lamp. Though it couldn’t compete with the youthful charm of a young girl, it had a charm of its own.
Lai Wenyan pushed the door open and came in, seeing Ouyang Qian lying in bed, he felt no urge to get close. These days, aside from his electoral campaign, he had intentionally or unintentionally given himself some downtime, but his physical condition hadn’t improved.
Because of this, Lai Wenyan hadn’t visited Jiang Yiniing’s apartment recently.
Matters of a man’s dignity were at stake, and with Jiang Yiniing being young, he couldn’t tolerate being inept in bed.
During times like these, his wife of several decades, Ouyang Qian, was like a safe harbor where he could rest peacefully. Both being in their forties or fifties, even if they didn’t do anything, Ouyang Qian wouldn’t make a fuss about it.
As for Jiang Yiniing—
Lai Wenyan’s interest in her was a fleeting thing from the start.
Now that he was having health issues, his desire waned.
Jiang Yiniing would pester him daily to come to her apartment, either by text or call, which made Lai Wenyan increasingly annoyed.
He thought it was time to give her some money and cut ties.
The next morning, as Tang Li arrived at the set, a staff member informed her that a friend was waiting for her in the temporary meeting room.
“Friend, what friend?” Yu Sui asked, puzzled.
If it were really a friend, they would have contacted her privately and wouldn’t just show up at the set.
Yu Sui suddenly thought of something, and asked, “Male or female?”
“Female.” The staff, noticing Tang Li’s assistant seemed unhappy, didn’t dare to hide anything: “She claimed to be Teacher Tang’s classmate, so the assistant director let her wait inside.”
Yu Sui looked at Tang Li.
Tang Li had already guessed who it was.
In the meeting room, Jiang Yiniing sat by the long table, thinking about how to explain her situation to Tang Li, since… Tang Li had warned her from the start not to get close to Lai Wenyan.
Tang Li had clearly stated that she wouldn’t help her deal with Ouyang Qian.
But now, Lai Wenyan wasn’t responding to her. She couldn’t be so fearless anymore.
Even though she had threatened Ouyang Qian, if Lai Wenyan really decided to cut ties with her, she, an ordinary person with no background, would make no waves and end up folding herself into the situation.
She had called Lai Wenyan’s assistant, who also dismissed her. After much thought, only Tang Li could help her.
Outside, footsteps and voices could be heard.
Jiang Yiniing recognized Tang Li’s voice.
She immediately turned around, and the meeting room door was pushed open.
Without having been to makeup yet, Tang Li appeared far less carefully groomed than Jiang Yiniing, but even with a bare face, her energy was much better than Jiang Yiniing’s.
As she sat down across from Jiang Yiniing, Jiang Yiniing noticed the difference between them.
Tang Li exuded a casual grace in her every move.
To Jiang Yiniing, Tang Li’s confidence was largely due to her association with the Lai Family.
With this in mind, she was even more unwilling to let go of Lai Wenyan, her eyes reddening slightly: “If I wasn’t at my wit’s end, I wouldn’t have come to you.”
Before Tang Li could ask, she went on: “I’m pregnant, Ah Li.”
Hearing this, Tang Li lifted her eyes to look at Jiang Yiniing.
She suddenly felt like laughing.
In fact, the corners of Tang Li’s mouth had already turned up: “You’ve only been with my uncle for how long, not even a month, right?”
With that, Tang Li stood up: “I still have to shoot, I don’t have time for your jokes.”
