Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 329 - 342: Unexpected Doctor’s Report

He didn’t know how he walked out of the villa.

The sky was very dark and cold, surrounded by the flashing lights of fire trucks and police cars, Mrs. Gui was crying, firemen were busy, and the noise of people was clamorous.

He tightened his hold on the small body in his arms, yet didn’t dare to hold too tight. Her body was terribly charred, unrecognizable, as if it would fall apart at the slightest carelessness.

A firefighter walked up to him and said, "Mr. Lu, please take our car to the hospital, your wife’s body needs to be placed in the mortuary..."

Lu Shifeng seemed not to hear him, somewhat dazed, he walked to his own driver and said, "Drive to Bao Hua Garden."

Bao Hua Garden was a property under his name and the closest one to here.

The driver, having received the order, dared not say much, helped him with the remains into the car, and sat in the driver’s seat heading towards Bao Hua Garden.

Upon reaching Bao Hua Garden, he carried the small skeletal remains inside, placed them on the large bed covered with luxurious satin.

And he himself, slowly squatted down beside her bed, half-squatting, half-kneeling, as if he had lost all strength, one hand grasping what seemed to be her arm, staring at her for a long time without speaking or moving.

After an unknown amount of time, the door was pushed open, and Mr. Lu, the matron, Du Shuxian, and his second uncle Lu Yong walked in. They had rushed over from the old house after receiving the news, didn’t find him at the villa, and upon hearing he was at Bao Hua Garden, followed here.

"Shifeng." The old master’s voice stern, carrying a rare hint of warmth.

Lu Shifeng didn’t even lift his head, still unmoving, staring at the corpse on the bed, wooden with no reaction.

The matron trembled forward, examined the corpse on the bed, and almost fainted with a sway: "Xingyu..." Two lines of old tears streamed down.

The old man beside her quickly supported her, and even Du Shuxian and Lu Yong also rushed to assist, persuading: "Mom, don’t be too sad, take care of your health. It’s already happened, no one wanted this."

The matron barely stood with their support, looking at Su Xingyu, her voice shaking: "Xingyu... my good child... how could you just leave like this?"

Du Shuxian tried to advise, "The dead can’t come back, mom, look on the bright side, it’s just that this girl has no fortune, short fate with our Lu Family, so..."

Before she could finish, Lu Shifeng had already lifted his head, his long narrow eyes as cold and sharp as an ice blade staring at his mother.

Du Shuxian shivered instinctively, dared not speak under her son’s intense gaze. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Lu Shifeng lowered his head again, staring blankly at the remains on the bed for quite a while, then said hoarsely, "It’s me who had no luck to keep her."

The whole room fell silent, after a pause, the old master said, "You need to pull yourself together, you are the eldest grandson of the Lu family, you can’t be defeated by this. And handed him something, "When we just went over to the villa, this was found by the firemen, I thought you might need it."

Lu Shifeng took it, under the dim light, it was a small ring, he remembered on their wedding day he personally put this diamond ring on her, the inner circle engraved with their initials, the ring surface was set with a six-claw diamond, but now that diamond, which should have been nicely set, had already been melted away by the high temperatures of the fire scene.

Leaving only an empty hole.

The old master said, "Even something as hard as a diamond can be destroyed, there’s nothing eternal in this world. Let go of those petty affections, Shifeng, the Lu Family is waiting for you."

Lu Shifeng clutched the ring in his palm, stood up: "Investigate. I want to find out how the fire started."

Meanwhile.

At Ouyang Yi’s residence.

An inconspicuous black car drove out like a ghost, heading straight to the airport, drawing no one’s attention.

Under Ouyang Yi’s arrangement, Su Xingyu left the country, arriving at Ouyang Yi’s private estate in Country F, where she was safe, reading books and recovering every day, gradually getting better.

Only, the scars on her face were indeed like what the doctor said, no matter what method was used, they couldn’t return to how they were.

In front of the mirror, looking at her own half-ugly ghostly face, she couldn’t say she wasn’t sad, but, surviving and escaping was already a big fate, what more could she hope for now?

That afternoon, the doctor conducted routine checks on her, saying, "Miss Su, besides the aesthetics of your face, your body is recovering well. But from what you say, you often feel dizziness, chest tightness, and discomfort, I suggest doing a comprehensive check-up."

Su Xingyu nodded in agreement.

The doctor did a full body examination and smiled, telling her, "Congratulations, Miss Su, you’re pregnant."

Pregnant...?!

As if there was a loud blast in her ears, she was stunned.

How could she be pregnant? Hadn’t the doctors in the country already declared a death sentence on her, saying she’d find it difficult to conceive in this life?

"Really? Could it be a mistake?" Her voice tense and excited, mixed with many indescribable emotions, she asked complicatedly.

The doctor said, "No mistake. The fetus is more than a month old. If you don’t believe it, we can check again."

The result of checking again still showed she was pregnant.

Su Xingyu only felt her head buzzing, even she couldn’t discern if she was happy or sad. She... she was actually pregnant, was going to have her own little baby? Calculating the days, it was exactly during the time Lu Shifeng locked and tormented her in the villa, he was so brutal to her, would the baby be unhealthy?

"Is the baby okay?" She anxiously asked the doctor.

The doctor said, "As far as it goes, everything seems normal. Of course, when the cycle is bigger, many more screenings have to be done."

Su Xingyu’s hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen, she could hardly believe it was real, it was more unreal than a dream!

How she longed for her own little baby, and once longed for the father to be Lu Shifeng—that cold, unsmiling man.

But now, she no longer wished to have any ties with that man, yet at this time, the baby was coming, what should she do?

She dazedly thanked the doctor, walked out of the examination room, and was in a trance.

By evening, Ouyang Yi routinely did a video call with her, asking, "Xingyu, why do you look off, do you have something on your mind?"

She said, "Ouyang, I’m pregnant, more than a month, the child’s father is him."

Ouyang’s face changed instantly, but only for a moment, then covered it up, looking at her with a smile, "Pregnant? It’s nothing serious, with medicine so advanced nowadays, whether you want this child or not, it’s easy to deal with. Xingyu, what do you think, do you want to have this child or not?"
