Besides, getting pregnant from a single encounter was nearly impossible.

  Gu Nianshen tried very hard to suppress the feeling of panic as he tossed the photo album back to Aunt Zhou. “Put it away and never take it out again,” he ordered coldly.

  Aunt Zhou hurriedly left with the photo album without saying a word.

  “Aunt Zhou, what’s wrong?”


  Perhaps after using too much energy, Lin Yiqian was famished. She finally could not help but come downstairs in her pyjamas.

  She would eat something before returning to bed.

  However, when she arrived at the entrance to the dining room, she bumped into Aunt Zhou who looked panic-stricken, which was what prompted Lin Yiqian to ask the question.

  Lin Yiqian then looked inside the dining room to find Gu Nianshen with an angry facial expression whilst Gu Nianjia seemed to be terrified.

  Clearly, Gu Nianshen had just thrown a fit.

  “It’s nothing,” Aunt Zhou replied before leaving hurriedly with the photo album.

  It was normal for Gu Nianshen to show his temper, especially toward Gu Nianjia. Therefore, Lin Yiqian did not ask what happened. Instead, she walked over to the dining table and sat next to Gu Nianshen.

  As soon as she sat down, she gritted her teeth out of discomfort.

  Although she was fine with tolerating the pain, Lin Yiqian was slightly appalled that her breakfast was not prepared because Aunt Zhou thought she was going to skip breakfast.

  Lin Yiqian directly grabbed Gu Nianshen’s half-emptied glass of milk. “I’m very hungry. Give me some.”


  After taking a sip of the milk, she picked up Gu Nianshen’s fork, only to realize that the sandwich had not been cut yet. She reached for the knife.

  However, Gu Nianshen took it away from her. “Allow me,” he said gently before proceeding to cut the sandwich into bite-sized chunks.

  Once he was done, he handed the fork over to Lin Yiqian. “Go ahead.”


  Lin Yiqian was not used to Gu Nianshen’s thoughtful gestures. “What’s up with you?” She looked at him confusedly.

  “Aren’t you hungry?” Gu Nianshen retorted as he calmly looked away.

  Feeling uncomfortable from being stared at, Gu Nianshen picked up the glass of milk and took a sip from it.

  Clearly, there was something in his mind. However, Lin Yiqian knew he was not going to spill the beans that easily. “Oh.” She picked up the fork.

  “Ahhh…… Yikes. I can’t eat anymore. I’m full. Absolutely full.” Gu Nianjia suddenly spoke in an odd tone.

  Lin Yiqian looked over to find Gu Nianjia rubbing her stomach as she laughed in a teasing manner.

  How annoying!

  Lin Yiqian ignored her as she continued to eat. The chunks of sandwich Gu Nianshen had cut were of the perfect size as Lin Yiqian could eat each of them in a single bite.

  She would take each bite slowly. Meanwhile, Gu Nianshen began to notice light shades of pink on her fair-skinned neck. He could not help but recall the night before. At the same time, Gu Nianjia’s words rang through his ears. ‘Brother, think carefully. Did you really not sleep with another woman before?’


  As if sensing his gaze, Lin Yiqian turned to look at Gu Nianshen. He immediately looked away before picking his phone up and leaving.

  He was walking faster and faster.

  After seeing Gu Nianshen’s figure disappear from the dining room, Lin Yiqian turned to look at Gu Nianjia curiously. “What’s up with him?”


  Gu Nianjia shrugged and shook her head. She seemed equally confused.

  ***

  Just slightly after seven o’clock, the time when most people were finishing their dinner, a black Audi stopped in front of the main entrance.

  As the door opened, Song Changwen got out of the car. She was wearing a black shirt with matching black wide-legged pants. As usual, she seemed unapproachable.

  Song Changwen glanced up at the second floor to find that all the lights were turned off. She frowned at the sight.
