Gong Xue’er rarely saw Xia Yangyang so cold. Her tone shifted slightly: “So you really won’t forgive me? Xia Yangyang, you already have so much. Why are you still fighting me for Haotian? You just can’t stand to see me succeed, right?”

Xia Yangyang was speechless. What was Gong Xue’er’s logic? It was clear Gong Xue’er had initially interfered in her relationship with Lu Haotian. But now, Xia Yangyang was the villain, unable to bear Gong Xue’er’s happiness.

Xia Yangyang said, “Gong Xue’er, there’s nothing more to say between us. I still have work to do. Excuse me.”

Just as Xia Yangyang was about to leave, Gong Xue’er grabbed her arm: “Xia Yangyang, let me tell you one more thing…”

“Xue’er, what are you doing?”

A tall figure appeared at the door. Lu Haotian walked over, his anger palpable: “Gong Xue’er, how many times have I told you not to bother Yangyang?”

Gong Xue’er instantly became a pitiful, aggrieved figure: “I only came here to ask Yangyang for forgiveness. I’ve been begging her… All of this is my fault; it has nothing to do with you.”

Xia Yangyang was astonished by Gong Xue’er’s acting skills.

Lu Haotian softened his gaze toward Gong Xue’er. He turned to Xia Yangyang: “Yangyang, my dad was discharged from the hospital today. Would you come to dinner tonight? You’re angry at me, but that doesn’t mean you should be angry at my parents.”

The Xia and Lu families were old friends, and Xia Yangyang had spent nearly half her childhood at the Lus’. Lu Zhenghai and Liu Xinru cherished Xia Yangyang like their own daughter.

Xia Yangyang asked, “When was Uncle Lu hospitalized?”

Observing Xia Yangyang’s reaction, Lu Haotian seized the opportunity: “He just had heart bypass surgery. This morning he was mentioning you, saying he hasn’t seen you in a long time.”

As Xia Yangyang hesitated, Gong Xue’er couldn’t stand it any longer. She said, “What about me, Young Master Lu? What should I do if she goes?”

She knew Lu Haotian would invite Yangyang to the family dinner that night. That’s why she came early. If Xia Yangyang went, the warmth and kindness of Lu Haotian’s parents might soften her stance. Gong Xue’er couldn’t let them reconcile.

Lu Haotian, caught off guard by Gong Xue’er’s sudden outburst, hardened his face and said coldly, “What does that have to do with you? Stop being ridiculous.”

His meaning was clear.

Gong Xue’er said, “I didn’t want to, but… I’m pregnant.”

Her words were like a bolt of lightning. She calmly pulled out a stack of papers from her bag: “These are the ultrasound reports.”

Xia Yangyang saw the report indicated six weeks of pregnancy.

Xia Yangyang said, “Six weeks… That’s only a little over forty days?” The incident had happened three months ago.

A hint of a smile touched Gong Xue’er’s lips. Her gaze fixed on Xia Yangyang: “That’s right, we’ve done it again after that, many times.”

Lu Haotian roared and shoved Gong Xue’er: “Gong Xue’er, shut your mouth!”

Xia Yangyang laughed and said to Lu Haotian, “Lu Haotian, do you think I’m a fool?”

Lu Haotian panicked and grabbed Xia Yangyang’s arm: “Let me explain, Yangyang, let me explain.”

Meanwhile, Gong Xue’er, almost knocked over by Lu Haotian, felt a chill. He didn’t care about her child; he only cared about Xia Yangyang’s reaction. This intensified her hatred for Xia Yangyang.

In the midst of the chaos, the conference room door opened. Gu Qichen stood coldly at the entrance…
