When they thought about it carefully, it made sense.

  Even before Ye Zhen married into the Lu family, she didn’t have many friends of the opposite gender, and they hadn’t heard that she was close with anyone. It was even less likely for anything to have happened after she married the unconscious Lu Beichuan and barely had any chances to leave the Lu family’s villa.

  At the thought of this, Mother Ye felt relieved.

  “Okay then, take your time recuperating during the next few days. It’s cold outside. Don’t go outside if you don’t have to.”


  Ye Zhen agreed.

  After going upstairs to her room, Ye Zhen kept pondering over this issue. It was true that she had been feeling a bit weird lately: loss of appetite, excessive sleepiness, and prone to weariness, and now she had dry retched for no apparent reason…… When put together, it suddenly seemed like pregnancy symptoms.

  Ye Zhen absently-minded entered the bathroom. When she saw the toilet, she suddenly remembered that her period hadn’t come this month.

  And based on last month, it was already half a month late!

  Ye Zhen pressed down on her lower abdomen.

  Pregnant?

  Taking a test was the only way to confirm the truth.

  Ye Zhen went out that night to buy a home pregnancy test at a pharmacy. When she saw the two marks that signified a positive result clearly appearing, Ye Zhen almost fainted.

  She’s really pregnant?

  Could it be that the novel’s plot was unchangeable? No matter how she tried to escape, would she still end up giving birth to a little villain for Lu Beichuan, and their family of three was destined to go down the path of a doomed ending?

  But, wasn’t this too contrary to common sense? Without having sex first, how could she be pregnant?

  For a period of time, Ye Zhen’s mind blanked out from seeing the two lines on the pregnancy bar. She forced herself to calm down and carefully think about what happened in the past period.

  After thinking it over and over again, she had spent most of her time taking care of Lu Beichuan. She frequently stayed by the bed to massage Lu Beichuan. Every time, it would take up most of the day. Other than that……

  Other than that, there were those dreams!

  Ye Zhen thought of those dreams that had caused her face to flush and made a bold guess.

  Could it be…… those dreams were real?

  Ye Zhen thought of those inexplicable red marks on her collarbone and shoulder. They were clearly……

  “That bastard!” Ye Zhen couldn’t stop herself from her cursing.

  Other than this guess, there was no other possible explanation for why she was pregnant.

  She couldn’t stay here any longer. If she continued to stay here, she was sure to become Mrs. Lu. And, there was a little villain in her stomach. Some things had happened differently compared to the novel, but the important parts were still the same.

  She took Ye Qing’s place in marrying into the Lu family, Lu Beichuan woke up, and she got pregnant. Although there were deviations, the end result was the same!

  She had done her best to avoid the fate of getting pregnant with the villain’s child, but she hadn’t succeeded. If she continued staying here, who knows how the plot would develop?

  After thinking things through, Ye Zhen immediately made a decision. She knocked on Father Ye’s door and said in a heavy voice, “Dad, prepare a ticket for me to go abroad as soon as possible.”


  ***

  Once again, William was summoned over by Lu Beichuan to check Miss Ye. After doing the examination, he was utterly baffled. Seeing the deep furrow between Lu Beichuan’s eyebrows, he had originally thought it was because Miss Ye’s pregnancy condition wasn’t stable. But, after checking her over, he almost doubted his medical skills.

  His shocked eyes looked at Lu Beichuan. He thought that he must have made an error in his diagnosis. He checked again, but the result was the same.

  She wasn’t pregnant!

  How could that be possible? She had clearly been pregnant when he checked a few days ago!

  Ye Qing didn’t understand why she was getting examined. Seeing William’s grave expression, she nervously asked, “Doctor, is there something wrong with me?”
