Chapter 476: Chapter 217: Taking the Gifts but Refusing to Admit It? (Part 3)

Xue Ning panicked and quickly said, "No!"

Li Yang asked in a deep voice, "Then where are you?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"I... am in Jiangbei..."

When replying, Li Yang vaguely heard something off, so he said, "Xue, let me see you."

"I’m not looking good, I didn’t put on makeup."

"But it sounds like you’ve been crying."

"No... I haven’t..."

Li Yang asked again, "Is there a man with you? Are you not answering the video because you’re afraid I’ll see? You’ve done sneaky things over the phone several times when we were together..."

"You’re asking for trouble, talking nonsense!" Xue Ning couldn’t help but curse.

"Then let me see!"

"What if you regret seeing me?"

Li Yang said lightly, "You haven’t contacted me for more than four months, so I didn’t really want to see you anyway. Your business isn’t much related to me anymore. Since you said this, I’ll transfer another ten million to your card, as a dowry from my parents, and after that, we don’t need to be in touch."

This made Xue Ning grit her teeth, "Why are you such a bastard! What do I need dowry for? I’ve got enough money on my own!"

"No, I must give it to you, or else it won’t sit well with my parents; they’ve been in a bad mood recently."

"What? What’s wrong with them?"

"I just got back today, not clear yet. Tomorrow, I’ll find a psychologist for them; anyway, you don’t need to worry..."

Xue Ning got anxious, "How can I not worry, what happened exactly?"

"Nothing, I’m hanging up now."

After saying this sternly, Li Yang hung up the video call.

Then, Xue Ning hurried to call back, but Li Yang didn’t answer.

After two tries, Xue Ning directly sent a WeChat, "Li Yang, are you asking for trouble, what’s going on with mom and dad? Speak clearly!"

"I can’t go back now, can I come after a few months? After a few months, I’ll go back and see them."

"Say something, are you trying to drive me crazy?"

Xue Ning’s video called again, and this time Li Yang answered.

On the other end of the camera, Xue Ning was bare-faced, even wearing pajamas, looking a bit nervous.

Of course, the main thing was that Xue Ning had gained weight.

Li Yang almost didn’t recognize her at first glance.

In his impression, nearly forty-year-old Xue Ning always looked like a young girl, why did she suddenly become so noticeably chubby?

Was she ill?

On the video, Xue Ning hurriedly asked, "Quickly tell me, what happened at home?"

Li Yang’s expression was a bit odd.

"Xue, could you be pregnant?"

"I don’t know... maybe... but first tell me about the parents’ situation."

"Let’s exchange information, you first tell me your situation, and I’ll tell you about the parents’, you first..."

Xue Ning: "..."

She found herself completely tongue-tied against Li Yang.

Of course, she could also choose not to listen to anything about Li Likun and them, but she just couldn’t get over it in her heart.

Finally, she whispered, "I don’t know how I got pregnant, and by the time I found out, it was already almost three months; the doctor said if I had an abortion, I might never get pregnant again in this lifetime, so I just... But don’t worry, I definitely won’t use the child as any kind of leverage; you’ve already given me enough. I won’t let the child appear in front of you, or let anyone know."

Li Yang laughed, "You dare say you didn’t know? If you didn’t know, would you not call me for four months? Not send me messages? If your period was delayed by a month, you should have thought you might be pregnant. Don’t you think your excuse is self-contradictory?"

Xue Ning lowered her head, tears welling up in her eyes.

Right, she only ever came up with such poor excuses; she couldn’t speak like Li Yang, who could even turn lies into truth.

But she had no choice, the master’s wife had already made things so clear, what could she do?

She raised her head and said, "I definitely won’t cause you any trouble, don’t worry. Wait a few more months, after I have the baby, I’ll go back and see mom and dad; you tell them not to worry about me."

Li Yang asked, "And you think you can hide it for a lifetime? Mom has sharp eyes, after you have a baby, you think she won’t notice? In her words, she’s been through the same situation herself."

"I... will try to slim down quickly after giving birth. Now tell me, what happened to mom and dad?"

"Huh? Mom and dad are fine."

"Hmm?"

"It’s just a bit messy at home. After you left, they stopped caring about appearances; dad goes shirtless at home, clothes are thrown everywhere... mom, for convenience, just used a bamboo pole to hang clothes on the balcony, the drying rack hasn’t been moved..."

"That’s it?"

"What else? Xue, wait for me in Jiangbei, I’ll come find you in a few days."

Xue Ning hurriedly said, "No, I’ll leave in a couple of days, find another place to live."

Li Yang giggled, "If you dare to leave, I’ll immediately tell mom and dad about your pregnancy, and also... I’ll confess myself, and then they’ll find you all over the world!"

"You want to kill me?"

Li Yang retorted, "I feel like you’re trying to hurt me! Obey and do as I say, otherwise, I seriously suspect you’re up to something; sooner or later, something will happen, might as well confess now, it’s better now than later."

"You... what reason do I have to harm you?"

"Who knows, anyway, if you listen to me, I’ll be at ease."

Xue Ning reluctantly said, "Okay, I’ll listen to you."

"Then show me the examination report."

"Okay."

Soon, Xue Ning showed Li Yang the prenatal checkup report.

The report was from a few days ago; Xue Ning had already been checked three times in four months.

The first time was to see if she was pregnant, the second time was due to emotional instability, the third time was to check if the baby was healthy.
