Chapter 293

Yu Yue was speaking while making a helpless expression at everyone. He was in a playful mood and decided to put the call on speaker so everyone could listen in.0

"…It's like this, I need to go for a prenatal check-up, but your dad is busy. Could you accompany me?" Ke Yun'er said hesitantly, "You know this pregnancy is quite risky."0

Everyone was a bit surprised. If it were a harmonious stepmother-stepson relationship, such a request would be understandable, but weren't they not very close?0

Yu Yue's expression was already quite exasperated. He stuck his tongue out at Bai Xiaoxi but didn't hold back his words, "Not really. Since you're the one at risk, I should stay far away. What if something goes wrong and my dad's late-in-life joy of having a child is cut short? He'd blame me, and I don't want any part of that. You'd better find someone else. Let's avoid suspicion and both feel at ease."0

After saying that, he covered the phone's microphone and said to everyone, "Is she trying to play palace intrigue with me?"0

No one knew what went on in wealthy families, but if you stretched the point, this situation wasn't too strange.0

After all, it was said that the new madame didn't have any family to rely on, so asking Yu Yue for help in such a situation could be somewhat justified, considering he was the young master of the household.0

Luo Fei mouthed, "Is this your dad's idea?"0

Sure enough, the next second they heard Ke Yun'er say, "It's your dad's idea."0

Guo Yalan immediately gave Luo Fei a thumbs up, and Luo Fei shrugged.0

Ji Fei also looked admiringly at Luo Fei, [As expected of a policeman, his reaction is so fast, even faster than Qin Xian's brain!]0

Qin Xian: …No, he just didn't speak up yet. He had already thought of it!0n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Qin Xian looked a bit aggrieved at his wife, wanting to show off but not being the type to boast. Seeing his wife admiring Luo Fei, he felt quite sour inside.0

When Yu Yue heard the answer, he pouted. It didn't matter whose idea it was, not even his own mother would make him accompany a woman for a prenatal check-up. Did he look that free?0

Just as he was about to refuse, Ke Yun'er spoke again, her tone sounding a bit sad, "And after all, this child… is your kin. Do you really not care at all?"0

Yu Yue suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine.0

[Goodness, this tone. If you didn't know better, you'd think she's talking about Yu Yue's own child, not his half-sibling. What's up with this new madame? So weird.]1

In this regard, women are more sensitive than men.0

Guo Yalan immediately raised an eyebrow, her expression one of disgust.0

Bai Xiaoxi blinked, though not as perceptive, she also felt uncomfortable.0

"Care? Do you mean care if he comes to compete for the family fortune or my father's love? Don't worry, I don't care about either." Yu Yue didn't know what the other party was testing, so he decided to lay everything out.0

"I… I'm not talking about that. How could this child compete with you? Don't worry, absolutely not." Ke Yun'er sounded flustered, then gradually calmed down with apparent effort, "I just… my body is really not feeling well right now. I was hoping you could… help me out, just this once, is that too much to ask?"0

The more Ke Yun'er acted like this, the more Yu Yue felt she was pretending to be weak, setting a trap to harm him.0

Just as he was about to refuse, Bai Xiaoxi tugged at him.0

Clearly, besides the way the other person spoke making her reflexively uncomfortable, she was also a bit worried, as the baby in that belly could be Yu Yue's future brother or sister. That was the closest kin Yu Yue had.0

Yu Yue had also expressed that he didn't mind having more siblings, as long as they behaved and could have some brotherly or sisterly affection.0

The last time Bai Xiaoxi saw Ke Yun'er, she could clearly see that Ke Yun'er was very careful with her belly, loving her child.0

Excluding these discomforts, maybe she was really just worried about her condition, and since Mr. Yu was busy, she wanted a mainstay to help accompany her.0

"Let's go together," Bai Xiaoxi mouthed.0

Yu Yue was about to object but seemed to think of something and his eyes changed slightly. He affectionately rubbed Bai Xiaoxi's head and mouthed, "Whatever my dear wants."0

Bai Xiaoxi immediately smiled.0

So Yu Yue told the phone that he would handle it and then hung up.0

By the time Cen Ting came looking for them, Bai Xiaoxi and Yu Yue had already left.0

The others were discussing the upcoming wedding in the Yu family and Ke Yun'er.0

Cen Ting was a bit surprised. She thought they would be discussing today's gossip.0

"You're talking about this?" Cen Ting exclaimed, clearly thinking their speed in moving on to new gossip was too fast.0

"We've gotten used to eating gossip. No matter how explosive the situation, it's just another day for us," Guo Yalan boasted, stepping forward to hug Cen Ting, "How's it going, future half-member of the Jing family?"0

Cen Ting said, "It's like this. I'm preparing to go back. Are you coming?"0

"Jing Yan isn't coming out?" Luo Fei asked.0

"With such a big matter, the Jing family needs to discuss it thoroughly, and…" Cen Ting was saying, when the sound of police sirens came from outside the villa. The guests who hadn't left yet watched as Madam Wan and Jing Yu were roughly taken away in handcuffs.0

They ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​​‍could see the new family of three standing at the door, watching the people who had harmed them leave.

Naturally, the small group was concerned about Jing Yan's situation. Seeing him with a calm expression, it was clear he was holding it together, his strong pride not allowing him to show any vulnerability.0

Everyone gave a distant greeting and left together.0

"Hey, sis, you're really going to be Madam Xie's goddaughter? That means you'll be Jing Yan's god-sister, right?" Guo Yalan pointed out the detail she was most interested in. "Either an fiancée or a god-sister, you really have a connection with him. Why don't you just get together already, tsk tsk."0

Cen Ting frowned slightly, not knowing what to say, her expression no longer as calm as before.0

[Pfft, before not knowing Jing Yan's background it was hard to say, but now, it's hilarious. Secret crush turned into god-sister…]0

Qin Xian raised an eyebrow. Given Jing Yan's character… once he adjusted to this, as long as Cen Ting wasn't with someone else, he would probably fully unleash himself and try hard to pursue Cen Ting.0

But Cen Ting might not fall for it.0

Sure enough, they heard Cen Ting say, "Don't joke about it. I can complete my family mission under free conditions. Why would I want to go to prison?"0

"Hahaha, as expected of my sis. Although our personalities are worlds apart, we have the same view on marriage," Guo Yalan laughed.0

"Exactly, exactly. Marriage is a cage," Ji Fei also chimed in.1

When she said that, everyone looked at her, then suspiciously at Qin Xian.0

Qin Xian: …0

He tugged on his wife's sleeve, a bit aggrieved.0

Ji Fei immediately realized, oh right, she was already married. She shouldn't be complaining like that.0

"Happy marriages aren't!" Ji Fei quickly tried to cover up.
