Under the murderous glares of the two ladies, Lin Hai sheepishly stopped turning the pages and said with great guilt, "Can we... can we first have a proper explanation? And find..."
The glares of the two ladies intensified again.
"Uh, how about we... we first do a checkup?" Lin Hai's forehead was about to break out in a cold sweat.
"Checkup your sister!" Queen Qi's fiery temper flared up again, and she flung a pillow towards Lin Hai.
"Lin Hai, today, if you don't give me an explanation today, I, I, I will..."
"Calm down, CEO, calm down!"
"Be reasonable, Queen Qi, you too be a bit reasonable!"
Lin Hai's forehead was streaming with nervous sweat as he had no memory of what happened yesterday.
If something really did happen, he'd be at a major loss—facing the torment of a storm one moment and completely clueless the next.
"I didn't want this to happen either," Lin Hai said miserably.
"You think I wanted this to happen?"
Ouyang Xiaoya glared at Lin Hai furiously, his words were just too infuriating.
With an unwilling demeanor, it was as if she had forced something onto him, a grown man.
"CEO, let's first get clarity, then discuss what to do next," Lin Hai said, his heart trembling, forcing himself to sound calm.
"How do we confirm that?" Ouyang Xiaoya asked, her cheeks flushing red.
Queen Qi perked up her ears too; she was afraid that 'it' might have happened and wanted confirmation.
"Cough cough, first we… that... that," Lin Hai's forehead sweated profusely, at a loss for how to describe that word.
"That what?" Ouyang Xiaoya asked impatiently, her eyes wide with urgency.
"I know!" Queen Qi chimed in just in time.
Lin Hai looked at Queen Qi gratefully; it truly helped to have someone so cultured and experienced at crucial moments.
"CEO, don't be angry, I need to check," Lin Hai said with a guilty conscience.
Ouyang Xiaoya and Queen Qi did not dare refute at this point and nodded obediently, their gaze filled with extreme unease.
Lin Hai felt his palms starting to sweat as he gripped the blanket.
Lin Hai took a deep breath; this was a huge gamble in life, and the moment of revealing the hole cards was upon him.
The correctness of the hole cards would determine the major direction of his future life!
"Wait a second!" Ouyang Xiaoya once again interrupted Lin Hai's next move.
Lin Hai stopped and turned towards Ouyang Xiaoya, equally nervous.
"CEO, what are you trying to do!" His heart was in his throat, the sudden scares too much to bear.
"That, Beast Lin, in case, if something really happened... what should we do!" Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes were welling up with tears as she spoke.
Lin Hai took a deep breath, silent, his eyebrows tightly furrowed; the question demanded deep contemplation.
If something really did happen with Xiaoya, then what should they do in the future? How to comfort his wife, how should he face the two ladies, whether they might live together later, including all kinds of contradictions and problems, it was all too overbearing, feeling like his brain wasn't enough!
And what about Queen Qi? Given the two ladies' strong personality, they likely wouldn't tolerate each other. Caught between them, he'd definitely be miserable on both sides, but he still had to take responsibility for Queen Qi!
At this thought, Lin Hai's face became especially solemn.
His inherent manliness, with its toughness, perseverance, and decisiveness, needed to be shown.
Lin Hai looked at the two women, whose eyes were filled with anxiety and complexity, and softly said in a deep, magnetic voice, "Xiaoya, Weiwei, if something really happened, I, Lin Hai, am not a man who shirks his responsibility; I will marry you."
"You think I'm ignorant of the law? Huaxia allows only monogamy!"
"Abroad we can!" Lin Hai retorted.
Queen Qi was at a loss for words.
"This, won't this be too cheap for you?" Ouyang Xiaoya said with humiliation, biting her red lip as tears streamed down.
The man she envisioned for her future was a heroic figure, learned and skilled, with a calm and mature character, like the Martial God who saved her multiple times—her ideal match.
But if that thing really happened, could she only marry this man? Ouyang Xiaoya's heart began to race uncontrollably with indecision, resentment, suffocation, and a hint of irritation, shame, and anger.
Lin Hai made up his mind, "Stop crying, if it comes to it, I'll marry you, and I'll do everything in my power to reach the ideal you have in mind!"
"And you, Weiwei, I'll treat the two of you well for a lifetime, never complaining! Don't say more, I am a man; there are some responsibilities I will definitely take on proactively. Don't worry, if the sky falls, I'll bear it alone in the future!"
Ouyang Xiaoya was stunned, teardrops still hanging from the corners of her eyes. She hadn't expected the usually lecherous Lin Hai to have such a domineering side.
His previous words struck directly at her heart, making her momentarily forget to cry.
Queen Qi, still harboring some anger and ready to scold, heard Lin Hai's words and felt her fury dissipate instantly.
At the very least, this was not a man who would walk away without responsibility after getting what he wanted.
Lin Hai clenched his teeth and grabbed the blanket with one hand, preparing to unveil the truth with a swift motion.
As he lifted the blanket, Ouyang Xiaoya and Queen Qi clenched their eyes shut, the expressions on their pretty faces reaching peak nervousness.
