Not only did Li Jing not react to Jian Dan’s words, even Mo Mo did the same.

“Jian Dan, did you just say that the baby is Chu Liyuan’s?” Afraid that he had misheard, Li Jing asked.

“That’s right.”

“But if it’s his, how can he not know?”

At the thought of Chu Liyuan’s lifeless expression last night, it was obvious that he did not know.

“Huh?”

“Does he also think that I’m pregnant with someone else’s child?”

Mengjiao and Li Jing exchanged looks with each other, not knowing what to say.

Mo Mo finally found an opportunity to speak. “Exactly. I still remember his moribund expression last night.”

“What does he think I am? A slut?” Jian Dan said unhappily.

In Chu Liyuan’s heart, Im actually a woman who’s pregnant with someone else’s child yet still entangled with him.

“How is that possible? Mr. Chu…” Li Jing was about to explain on Chu Liyuan’s behalf.

Mo Mo spoke again, “I don’t think he trusts you at all.”

Li Jing glared at Mo Mo, who was adding fuel to the fire.

“How dare you glare at me? Do you believe that I’ll make Mengjiao make you go back and kneel on durians today?” Mo Mo said self-righteously.

Moreover, she did not think she was wrong.

They had already jumped to conclusions before they had yet to figure out the situation.

“You…” Li Jing was speechless with anger.

“What?” Mo Mo looked like she was ready for a fight.

Li Jing couldn’t be bothered with her anymore and continued to say to Jian Dan, “Jian Dan, you know very well how Mr. Chu feels about you. It’s precisely because he cares too much that he’s so worried.”

Although what Li Jing said made sense, Jian Dan still couldn’t accept that Chu Liyuan thought of her that way.

“It’s okay. If he thinks that it’s someone else’s baby, so be it then.” Jian Dan said in a fit of pique, “From now on, we’ll go our separate ways. I don’t care what he thinks of me. It has nothing to do with him whose baby I give birth to!”

Hearing Jian Dan’s words, Li Jing was instantly flustered.

Did I just get Mr. Chu into trouble? Was I more of a hindrance than help? If I hadn’t been so meddlesome and questioned jian Dan, the two of them might have reconciled by now, for all I know.

He wondered what Chu Liyuan would do to him if he found out.

Li Jing suddenly felt very despondent…

“You guys can go back first. There are some things that I want to settle alone with Chu Liyuan.”

Mengjiao, who was about to say something, saw Jian Dan’s determined expression and ushered Li Jing and Mo Mo away.

Some things could only be resolved by the parties involved.

When Chu Liyuan returned from buying breakfast, he realized that Jian Dan was the only one left in the ward. “Why are you alone? Where are they?”

“They took care of me here for the entire night. I sent them back to rest.”

“I see. I even bought their breakfast.” He placed a large spread of breakfast on the table.

“It’s okay, their loss then. I bought a lot of breakfast. Jian Jian, what do you want to eat? I’ll get it for you.”

Jian Dan could not detect anything amiss with Chu Liyuan.

Of course, Jian Dan did not know how much mental preparation Chu Liyuan had done at the door before he came in.

Seeing that Jian Dan did not say anything, he continued, “Eat the glutinous rice balls made with rice wine then. Your favorite!” He picked up the glutinous rice balls made with rice wine, opened the lid and brought the spoon to Jian Dan’s mouth.

However, Jian Dan did not open her mouth. Instead, she looked at Chu Liyuan dead in the eye.

“Jian Jian, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

“Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?”

“Are you going to keep holding it in like this?”

“Jian Jian, what are you talking about?” Chu Liyuan evaded.

Jian Dan did not want to waste her breath. She lifted her clothes and revealed her slightly bulging belly to Chu Liyuan…

It hurt Chu Liyuan to see that…
