Lu Beichuan looked at her with a burning gaze. “Feelings can develop over time. Besides……” His gaze drifted down to Ye Zhen’s lower abdomen. “Besides, you’re pregnant with my child.”


  Ye Zhen instinctively covered her belly. “You know?!”


  In an instant, everything became clear to Ye Zhen.

  The numerous sex dreams, the motley red marks on her body, the pointed fingers and gossip, all of these things remained vivid in her mind.

  The gossiping hadn’t bothered her. She wasn’t the type of person to value a stranger’s opinion. She just didn’t like how Lu Beichuan had been toying with her. She had strutted around when she thought he was still in a coma and foolishly thought of herself as a clever person.

  Right now, she felt that the past her was a total idiot!

  At that moment, the anger over being deceived and embarrassed rushed to the forefront and drowned out her rational side. “So you and William have been secretly working together? You had William give those drugs to the butler to put into my milk? You drugged me!”


  Seeing that she was too stirred up, Lu Beichuan lowly said, “I did it for your own good. You had insomnia at night, and you worked so hard during the day. Your body wouldn’t be able to stand continued sleepless nights.”


  “That doesn’t mean you can……” Ye Zhen couldn’t say out the rest of the sentence.

  “We’re husband and wife. What’s wrong with fulfilling the obligations that’s between a husband and wife? Besides, you came onto me to the first time.”


  “I…… I came onto you?”


  “Don’t tell me that you forgot because you were drunk.”


  Ye Zhen choked. She was speechless.

  On the first night that she transmigrated here, she had drunk her troubles away. In that intoxicated state, it was true…… it seemed……

  “I…… I thought……”


  “Are you going to say that you thought you were dreaming as an excuse?”


  Ye Zhen was once again speechless.

  Sometimes, it was one thing to guess, but it was a completely different thing to have your guess confirmed.

  When Ye Zhen had been guessing, she still harbored the idea that perhaps it was just an unexplained accident somehow. She had subconsciously leaned away from the truth. She had prefered in believing in the other possibilities rather than believing that everything had been due to Lu Beichuan’s scheming,

  Ye Zhen clenched her fists to stop herself from punching Lu Beichuan in the face.

  “Why did you pretend you were still in a coma after you woke up?”


  “I have my own plans. You’ll understand in the future. But, for now, I can’t tell you.”


  “No need! I don’t want to know!” Ye Zhen abruptly stood up. “I don’t care what you’re planning to do. Your wife’s name is Ye Qing, and my name is Ye Zhen, so I have nothing to do with you!”


  There was suddenly the sound of knocking from the other side of the door.

  The old butler opened the door without waiting for permission, and they saw his worried expression. He anxiously said to Lu Beichuan, “Young Master, Master has been arrested!”


  Shocked, Ye Zhen instinctively looked towards Lu Beichuan.

  Sure enough, there was no surprise on Lu Beichuan’s face.

  “When did this happen?”


  “It happened this afternoon. Old Master Lu has been informed, and he’s rushing back here from the ancestral home. He should probably be here soon. Young Master, do you want to go to the police station to find out what’s going on?”


  Lu Beichuan pondered for a moment before replying, “Alright, I understand.”


  Ye Zhen had fallen into contemplation too. The story had taken multiple turns, but in the end, they had still gotten to this point of the story.

  Lu Beichuan had discovered her pregnancy, and he had sent his father to prison. In one fell swoop, Lu Beichuan had seized control of the Lu family. Soon, she would give birth to his son, and her status as Mrs. Lu would become cemented.

  The turning point in the novel had already occurred, and the current trajectory of events were the same as the novel’s.

  Now that Lin Zhan’s identity had been exposed as the Lu family’s illegitimate son, and his long-time girlfriend broke up with him because of Lu Beichuan, he was bound to fight to the last breath with Lu Beichuan.

  At that time, the Lu family would be destroyed under the male lead’s undefeatable halo!
