Qiao Lian concluded that she must have liked Shen Liangchuan before losing her memory.
She had little recollection of the past, so she acted solely on her instinct now.
And according to how her heart felt, she was probably in love with Shen Liangchuan but…
She reached out to touch her abdomen.
But this child belonged to Lu Nanze somehow.
What was she going to do about this?
Come clean with Shen Liangchuan?
Or claim that the child belonged to Shen Liangchuan regardless?
It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought about the possibility of Shen Liangchuan being the real father of this baby.
But…
The child was in the early stages, there was no way to ascertain this.
Instinctively, she did not feel in any way inclined to abort the child.
No matter what, this child must stay.
Qiao Lian felt most anxious and troubled.
To the extent that when bedtime came and Shen Liangchuan lay down on her bed, she realized something in retrospect.
What about tonight?!
Was she to share her bed with Shen Liangchuan?
Although it seemed like her natural instincts did not dislike this at all…
She wasn’t prepared for this. What was she going to do?
After all, to her now, Shen Liangchuan was a total stranger.
She cleared her throat and sat at the edge of the bed. Looking at him, she attempted to convince him to go to another room. “Eh, hubby…”
Shen Liangchuan’s gaze shifted to her as he said, “Uh huh, aren’t you tired?”
“Of course I am!”
After all, her head had been injured and she had lost a lot of blood. Her eyelids were now fighting to stay open.
“Go to sleep then.”
“Huh? But—”
“Xiao Qiao.”
“Yes?”
“Do you want to know how we met?”
Immediately, her interest was piqued and she nodded.
Shen Liangchuan patted the spot next to him. Qiao Lian hesitated for a moment and then lay down.
It was better to clarify the past.
So that life could quickly get back on the right track.
Otherwise life would be hell for her, caught between the two men.
Lying there, she asked, “So how did we meet?”
How did they meet?
After thinking for a moment, he started, “You fell in love with me at first sight.”
After all, she had pestered him from the moment they first met on the game. Surely it had been love at first sight.
Qiao Lian was stunned.
This was shocking to say the least!
“And then what happened?”
“And then you came after me in hot pursuit.”
The way she had pestered him every day to play video games with her and she would never learn, no matter how many times he beat her to pulp in the games. That should qualify as hot pursuit.
“You had a good family background. Whereas I, to make a living, had to join the entertainment industry.”
All of this was the truth.
Qiao Lian’s imagination had started to roam wild from Shen Liangchuan’s contradicting claims.
In Qiao Lian’s mind, she was already forming images of a wealthy pampered mistress taking liberties with a new actor in the entertainment circle, harassing him and eventually marrying him.
But since she had married him, why had she had an affair with her childhood sweetheart?
As she was puzzling over this, Shen Liangchuan suddenly turned and looked at her. “Xiao Qiao.”
“What?”
“You were the one who pestered me to date you.”
“Ok.”
“So…”
“So what?”
“You have to be responsible for me now.”
Qiao Lian was speechless.
Could she possibly say “no?”
It seemed not.
She shut her eyes to pretend she had fallen asleep. But eventually, she really did.
Shen Liangchuan stared at her in the pale moonlight, and the corners of his lips turned up into a smile.
After a good night’s sleep, Qiao Lian awoke to a piece of shocking news.
Auntie Zhang informed her, “Little Missy, Mr. Lu is here! Mr. Shen is hosting him downstairs.”
Qiao Lian was flabbergasted. The clash of the legitimate spouse and the third party… Was it turning into a bloody war zone right now?!
