I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law

Qin Chu smiled. ‘Of course I’m pregnant with mine.”

Li You said, “What I mean is, this stomach… Oh no, this child, who did you have it with?”

Qin Chu stopped teasing Li You and sat down at the seat MO Yan had made for her. She took the orange from Li You’s hand and ate it. As she ate, she said,

“Shen Yihe.’

Li You coughed.

Qin Chu: “Still choking?”

Li You raised her hand and pinched her neck. “It’s still a little itchy.”

With that, she sat down and turned to look at her grandmother. At this moment, her grandmother was peeling oranges again. Sensing Li You’s gaze, she looked up. “What’s wrong, darling?”

Li You asked, “When 1 came back before, why didn’t I hear you mention Qin Chu’s pregnancy?”

Guan Suling said, “You never asked, so I didn’t mention it.”

Li You: “Okay.”

Qin Chu finished the orange in her hand and took another one to peel. Seeing this, Li You quickly took the orange from her hand. “I’ll do it, I’ll do it, I’ll do it.” She said it three times in a row, which was enough to show how attentive she was.

Qin Chu placed one hand on the stone table and rested her chin on her palm. She looked at the extremely solicitous Li You. ‘You were really scared when my stomach appeared.”

Li You sighed. “You don’t say.” She thought she was hallucinating! But it was actually real! Of course she would be shocked!

MO Yan echoed, “Cousin, follow the trend.’

Li You chuckled. She handed the quickly peeled orange to Qin Chu. “Some oranges are sour, some are sweet. Grandma peeled that just now, so it’s very sweet. Try this. If it’s sour, I’ll peel it for you again.”

“It’s just right. I’ve always liked to eat sour food since I was pregnant.” After saying that, Qin Chu ate a piece and let out a hiss. Li You guessed from her expression. “It’s sour.”

Qin Chu said, “It suits my taste.”

Li You thought of the phrase “sour for boys and spicy for girls” and asked, “Do

you believe in sour for boys and spicy for girls?”

Qin Chu asked, “Then do you believe in that?”

Beside her, MO Yan said, “l believe in chromosomes.’

As someone from the older generation, Guan Suling also said, “The placenta will produce a hormone that will reduce the secretion of stomach acid and affect the appetite and digestive function of pregnant women. Only sour taste can revive the appetite.”

Qin Chu ate the orange and looked at Li You. ‘”Sour are boys and spicy are girls’ are one way of putting it. If you really want to know the baby’s gender, you’ll know in a month.”

Li You had been listening carefully to her grandmother. After hearing Qin Chu’s words, she looked at her stomach. “In other words, your due date is coming up.”

Qin Chu nodded.

“When I saw you more than half a year ago, you couldn’t have already been pregnant, right?” Li You asked this question. She wanted to confirm it. Qin Chu didn’t hide it from her and admitted, “Yes, I just got pregnant.”

Li You said, “Then why did you say…”

Qin Chu told Li You the truth. “l was planning to take the baby away, but he stopped me.”

Li You said, “But…

“Don’t worry, it’s definitely legal to give birth to this child. We’ve registered our marriage, but we didn’t have a wedding,” Qin Chu said.

Qin Chu knew that Li You was worried about her, so she told her the truth. Li You would not feel bad for Qin Chu, but she would not be happy for her either, because Shen Yihe did not give Qin Chu an official identity. It was not that she wanted to be the young madam of the Shen family, but Shen Yihe’ s wife in public.

Because Qin Chu and Shen Yihe were currently in a secret marriage. If Qin Chu hadn’t come this time, she wouldn’t have known that not only had Qin Chu registered her marriage with Shen Yihe, but she was also about to give birth.

However, Qin Chu said that after Shen Yihe finished dealing with the Shen family, he would hold a wedding for her.

Although it would be a little late, there would definitely be one. When Li You heard this, her prejudice against Shen Yihe improved a little. However, because of Qin Chu’s pregnancy today, Li You became even more determined.

Shen Yihe and Pei Jingzhou seemed to be friends, right?

Shen Yihe was already a father!

But Pei Jingzhou was still a monk.

Therefore, at night, she took the initiative to call Pei Jingzhou. On the phone,

she told Pei Jingzhou about this. Just as she had expected, Pei Jingzhou also  knew about Shen Yihe and Qin Chu’s marriage.

Li You said, “Pei Jingzhou, you’re so tight-lipped. You didn’t tell me anything.”

“You never even asked. What am I supposed to tell you?” he replied with a smile.

Li You bit her lip and called out to him in a coquettish tone, “Pei Pei Jingzhou was very quiet. Li You thought that her tone had been too coquettish just now. She corrected her tone slightly and said in her normal tone, “Can I interview you?”

After a while, Pei Jingzhou’s voice sounded. “What do you want to interview?”

Without Pei Jingzhou knowing, the smile on Li You’s face was very sly. She asked, “Your friend is already a father. May I ask how you feel now?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Nothing.”

Li You said, “Answer well.’

Pei Jingzhou said, “l did. I really don’t have any thoughts.”

Li You did not believe him and asked, “Don’t you want to get married to me sooner?”

“Yes, I do,” he answered without hesitation.

Li You smiled as if it wasn’t worth much. “l do, too.’

Pei Jingzhou said, “But no.”

The worthless smile on Li You’s lips instantly disappeared, as if it had never existed. She asked, “Why?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “l haven’t taken over the Pei Corporation and R.E. yet.”

Although Li You understood, she could not help but say, “I don’t want your assets. I want you.”

Pei Jingzhou smiled gently. “I’m very honored that you want me.”

Li You pursed her lips. “Hmph.”

Pei Jingzhou knew that she was unhappy and explained to her patiently, “My father values strength more. If 1 can’t achieve the results he wants, the heir of the Pei Corporation can also have an outsider’s surname. In his opinion, it’s fine without the Pei family’s bloodline. Therefore, before taking over the Pei Corporation and R.E., I’m not qualified to marry you.”

It would have been better if he hadn’t explained. Now that he had, she felt even worse. “I’m not a gold-swallowing beast. It won’t cost you much. You’re not in a hurry. If I run away with someone one day, you’ll regret it.” Pei Jingzhou said, “It seems that I have to work harder.”

Li You bit her lip and stammered as she reminded him, “Actually, your efforts… can be used in other aspects.”

Pei Jingzhou did not seem to understand what she meant. “In what way?”

Li You blushed. “What do you think?”

Pei Jingzhou said, “Be more specific.”

“Nothing more specific. You can figure it out yourself.” Li You’s cheeks were hot. After saying that, she quickly hung up..
