The other possibility was that she was pregnant with Lu Beichuan’s child. If this was true, it would be difficult to figure out a solution.

  If this was true, it meant that not only had Lu Beichuan faked being unconscious, he also knew that she had taken Ye Qing’s place in marrying him. William had previously examined her, so Lu Beichuan probably already knew that she was pregnant and that was why he had personally gone to the airport.

  In the novel, the only reason that Lu Beichuan allowed “Ye Zhen” to remain at his side was because she had given birth to a son for him.

  If this baby was really Lu Beichuan’s, then it was all over for her.

  When Ye Zhen opened the door, she saw a figure going around the corner of an outside corridor. That figure looked somewhat similar to Lu Beichuan.

  However, in the next second, the old butler appeared. Smiling, he said to Ye Zhen, “Miss Ye, Young Master wanted me to pass on the message that dinner is starting.”


  “Old uncle, I’m Ye Zhen.”


  The old butler blankly stared at her. “Your Ye family’s second miss?”


  Ye Zhen nodded.

  The old butler kindly smiled. “You and your older sister look the same. I really can’t tell the two of your apart.”


  By the time these two had finished talking in the hallway, Ye Qing had hidden away her earlier hysterical expression. She came out of the room, looked right at the old butler, and said, “I’ll go down right now.”


  Arrogantly strutting forward, Ye Qing passed by Ye Zhen. The old butler moved to the side so that Ye Qing could walk down first.

  After the group had gone downstairs, Ye Qing took the lead by sitting down next to Lu Beichuan, and Ye Zhen took the opportunity to sit down at a guest’s seat.

  Mother Lu’s eyes were still rimmed with red, but even if she wanted to hide away her smile, she couldn’t. Beaming, she looked at Ye Zhen and Ye Qing. Sighing with emotion for a good while, she said, “The two of you really do look exactly the same. I really wouldn’t be able to tell you apart from each other.”


  Ye Qing smiled and said, “Mom, I want to send Zhenzhen home after dinner. Our parents are sick with worry over her.”


  “Sick with worry?”


  Ye Qing explained, “Our parents didn’t approve of her relationship with her boyfriend, so she ran away from home with him. During the past period, our parents had been sick with worry over her. Fortunately, Beichuan has found her. Otherwise……” Looking at Lu Beichuan, she quietly said, “Beichuan, thank you.”


  Lu Beichuan remained expressionless. He didn’t even respond with a simple sound of acknowledgement.

  From the villa’s main doorway, there was the sound of footsteps. Lu Shaoren walked into the villa. He was in a very good mood.

  “I heard from far away that you were talking about running away from home. What’s that about?”


  Mother Lu was in a very good mood because of Lu Beichuan’s recovery. She answered him, “Qingqing was talking about her younger sister running away from home and trying to persuade her to go home. Today, you……” Before she finished speaking, Mother Lu saw the person behind Lu Shaoren. Her expression suddenly changed.

  “He is?”


  Father Lu brought the person in front of everyone and introduced, “This is Lin Zhan. He’ll be part of our family going forward.”


  Lin Zhan expressionlessly swept his gaze over everyone and immediately zeroed in on Ye Qing.
