  “I’m no longer working at the company. It’s only natural for me not to be updated.”


  “Hmph.” Yun Shishi only snorted in response to express her displeasure.

  The man was not irked, though. As if dealing with a sulky kid, he stroked her head lightly with his broad palm and gently asked, “What’s wrong? You’ve had this crossed expression ever since you came back.”


  “How can I possibly be in a good mood after meeting a slut?!” She shot back at him in a righteous tone. However, the raging fury within her had dissipated considerably upon sensing his gentle and patient treatment toward her.

  “What did she do to you this time? Tell me about it.”


  The veins in her hand, which was clutching the glass tightly, could be seen bulging from her exertion of strength.

  Her head hung low as she wore a glum look on her visage. Her shoulders were stiff and motionless as she tried to rein in her anger.

  All of a sudden, the woman blurted out, “Your niece told me that she’s pregnant!”


  Mu Yazhe did not seem much surprised by this news. He merely arched a brow and studied his wife’s expression but did not make any comments about it.

  She probed. “I thought she’s lying at first, but she produced a DNA-test result which stated, ‘The two DNA samples provided are biologically related.’ Tell me: What was that all about?”


  “DNA test?”


  “Yes! That sort of medical certificate is impossible to falsify, isn’t it?”


  She was waiting for him to give her a reasonable explanation for that.

  Alas, after waiting for a while, her husband only propped his chin on a hand and lazily drawled, “Oh.”


  “Oh?” She flew into a rage at that. “What does that ‘oh’ mean?!”


  A ball of fury surged from within her once more, filling up the woman with rage. She could hardly control her breathing now, and her eyes went red as she lashed out at him. “Aren’t you going to offer me an explanation at all?”


  Meanwhile, the twins, who had heard the commotion in the living room, crept out of their bedroom. They could only hide behind the wall and eavesdrop on their parents, though, for they were in no position to step in and get involved with the seemingly intractable problem the adults were arguing about.

  The man chortled right at that moment. “It turns out that you’ll get jealous, too.”


  His indulgent tone, however, did nothing to quench the woman’s frustration but, instead, spurred her anger further.

  “That isn’t the point at all! Can you give me an explanation on this matter or not?!”


  Instead of getting irked by her husband’s niece, it was his nonchalant attitude that got her all riled up!

  She shot him a glare using eyes teeming with crystalline tears; aggrieved feelings, however, kept them from falling.

  An abrupt wave of indignation hit her when she suddenly heard him asking her, “Did she tell you that she’s expecting my child?”


  “Yes!”


  “Do you believe it?”


  He fixed his intense gaze at her as he waited to hear her answer.

  At that, the woman naturally blurted out, “Of course not! How could you possibly do such a thing?”
