Shi Lingyan stared into her eyes, his gaze growing more intense, "Pregnant?"
Shi Mei squinted, watching the man whose emotions were indecipherable, unable to guess his thoughts at that moment.
Slowly drawing in the smoke and exhaling, Shi Mei tugged at her lips, "Rest assured, it has nothing to do with you."
"It has nothing to do with me?" Shi Lingyan glanced at the cigarette in her hand, "Are you sure?"
"Sure, unrelated." Shi Mei took a deep drag of her cigarette, meeting his gaze with an unfaltering face, not blushing or out of breath.
Indeed, because there was no such thing in the first place, of course, it was unrelated to him.
Shi Mei exhaled a long stream of smoke, her voice soft, "Tell your man to pull over, I should be going."
"Going?" Shi Lingyan’s lips curled with a hint of sarcasm, "Where to?"
At this, Shi Mei felt an ominous premonition, "What else do you want?"
She couldn’t be thinking that the ’child in her belly’ was his, could she?
"You said you were pregnant, let’s take you for a checkup." As soon as Shi Lingyan’s words fell, Yun Du understood, and the car turned around to head toward a nearby hospital.
Shi Mei’s heart raced with alarm, she said in a heavy tone, "I’ve told you, it’s unrelated to you."
"Whether it’s related or not, you know very well." Shi Lingyan reached out and snatched the cigarette from her hand to extinguish it, then leaned in closer.
Taken aback by his sudden approach, Shi Mei’s heartbeat accelerated, and she felt increasingly unsettled.
Shi Lingyan stopped just a fist’s distance away from her, his voice barely audible, he said, "Even though I wasn’t sober that night, I knew it was your first time."
And the timing was exactly two months ago.
That period was precisely the prime time to learn of one’s pregnancy.
Shi Mei’s heart skipped a beat.
Indeed, that night had been her first time.
But how could he possibly know?
The drug she used should have been substantial enough.
Especially against Shi Lingyan, she dared not take it lightly, so she used a double dose on him.
Logically, he should know nothing.
Shi Mei held back her pounding heartbeat, somewhat disbelievingly looking at him, "So, you can’t be thinking of taking responsibility, can you?"
Shi Lingyan looked at her, his dark gaze deep, word by word, he said, "You don’t deserve it."
Shi Mei’s heart felt as if it had been pierced by dense, sharp needles, instantly riddled with a thousand holes.
Shi Lingyan drew away from her, word by word, he said, "My child could never have you for a mother."
Shi Mei’s heart felt as if a gaping bloody hole had been dug into it, raw and bleeding.
Looking at Shi Lingyan’s perpetually cold expression, she laughed out of anger, her voice raised as she shouted, "I told you, it has nothing to do with you!"
Shi Lingyan tugged at the corner of his lips, showing no sign of relenting.
Alarm bells rang in Shi Mei’s mind, she frowned and shouted, "What do you want to do, Shi Lingyan, don’t think you can do whatever you want, what you’re doing today is premeditated murder, the proof is on my neck, if you have the guts, kill me now, or if you dare to touch me, I will make you pay!"
If she were taken to the hospital for a check-up and this guy found out she wasn’t pregnant at all, Shi Lingyan would have a thousand ways to make her life miserable.
Forget about participating peacefully in the talent show by then; she might not even be able to save her own life!
However, Shi Mei’s nervousness, observed by Shi Lingyan, was interpreted as a mother’s instinct to protect her child.
His initially probing heart sank even further.
Could it be that she was really pregnant?
Also, everyone can go to bed early, I’ll finish updating before 11:30 pm~
