2572 Huo Siqian’s Probe (12)

“No, why do you ask?”

“It’s just strange…”

“Stop thinking so much. Alright, let me down. People are going to be suspicious if we stay here too long.”

Qin Chu let Huo Mian down slowly…

“Should we pretend to have another fight?”

“No, it’s okay.”

Qin Chu was really tired of fighting… even if it was all just an act.

Then I’ll go out first.”

“Okay.”

When she got to the door, Huo Mian suddenly looked back. “Remember to keep your distance the next time you see Zhang Manlin.”

“Baby, are you jealous?” Qin Chu looked at her, amused.

“Of course I am. Anyways, if I discover a picture of you guys being so intimate again, I’ll break your legs.”

“I’m so scared…” Qin Chu looked at her with a slight smile.

“Alright, do what you have to do and get to bed early. Are you staying in the library today?” Huo Mian asked.

Qin Chu nodded…

When Huo Mian left the library, the maid named Cai Yue was in the middle of wiping down the second-floor handrail. Her head was down and she looked like she was really focused.

Huo Mian immediately dropped her expression, even intentionally complaining as she walked past the woman. “I can’t stay in this marriage anymore. If it weren’t for the kids, I wouldn’t have to suffer this much. So pissed!”

Cai Yue listened carefully and secretly took note of everything.

Huo Mian looked at the pregnancy test, trying her best to suppress her excitement.

She knew it… but… she didn’t want to tell Master Qin. If he knew about her pregnancy, he would end this whole plan.

Then, all of their hard work would’ve been for nothing.

Plus, he would protect her like she was a Giant Panda and she definitely didn’t want that.

She never saw herself as a delicate flower in need of hiding behind Master Qin.

She wanted to stand by him, facing the world’s obstacles together, unafraid of anything.

Husband and wife. Since they were husband and wife, they were supposed to spend the rest of their lives together, facing fortune and misfortune together…

The hand that was holding the pregnancy test trembled ever so slightly. Huo Mian laid her other hand on her belly.

There was another life here… how amazing… Pudding and Little Bean’s wish of having a little brother or sister was finally coming true…

Looking back, it was probably about a month ago when she’d conceived the baby… She and Qin Chu had shared a room that night…

She made sure to pay attention after her mother’s reminder the other day. She didn’t let any else know, however.

With everything that was going on, it was probably best if she kept the news a secret; she didn’t even tell Master Qin.

She was waiting for the day they got rid of Huo Siqian… only then would she tell her family all about the good news.

“Baby, keep Mommy safe… let Mommy and Daddy get rid of those bad people who are trying to separate us… Don’t let our family ever be apart again…”

Huo Mian patted her stomach lightly as she whispered to her unborn baby.

Because of her pregnancy, she would most likely experience many reactions… so Huo Mian decided to keep a close eye on her diet; she couldn’t let anyone know about it.

Due to their pretend fight, Qin Chu and Huo Mian slept in separate rooms, leaving her alone in the master bedroom.

In the middle of the night, in deep slumber, she could hear a strange noise…

She wanted to open her eyes but couldn’t…she didn’t know if she was dreaming or if it was real…

“Mian… soon… we will be able to leave this place… we’ll start all over and forget about everything… okay?” next to her bed, a man in black stood there, holding her hand and saying, word for word.
