Chapter 300
Yu Yue was feeling absolutely disgusted and uncomfortable all over. After all, the woman in front of him was the one who had slept with his father—she was his stepmother! His moral compass wasn’t that twisted!
Despite her looking about the same age as him, in Yu Yue’s eyes, Ke Yun’er was a middle-aged auntie, a generation older than him. The thought of this auntie trying to sleep with him was enough to give him nightmares.
However, Ke Yun’er had indeed managed to hit his soft spot. Although she hadn’t explicitly said so, Yu Yue knew that if he didn’t cooperate, Ke Yun’er would expose the truth about the miscarriage.
If his father found out that it was Xiao Xi who caused Ke Yun’er to miscarry, given how much his father currently valued the child in Ke Yun’er’s womb, he definitely wouldn’t let it go. Moreover, the Yu Family placed great importance on progeny, and they would surely think Xiao Xi was extremely unlucky to be involved in such a situation. If an investigation revealed that Xiao Xi was…
Thinking of this, Yu Yue’s face darkened. He absolutely couldn’t let Xiao Xi get hurt.
This risk was too great. He had to stabilize this crazy woman first.
Ke Yun’er still gazed at Yu Yue with a mix of infatuation and heartbreak, but no resentment.
“I can give you time to think about it, but you should know that time is running out. If it’s too late, even if you get pregnant, it will raise suspicions. Yu Yue, I’ve already made many concessions. Don’t be so harsh on me. I can get hurt and sad too.”
[Reject her! Scream at her, tell her she’s crazy and shameless!]
Ji Fei’s inner voice suddenly became sharp, startling the Qin family members. Why was she so emotionally invested all of a sudden?
Yu Yue’s expression was grim, but after a moment of hesitation, he said, “I’ll consider it. I’ll give you an answer after the wedding.”
Ke Yun’er’s eyes flickered, but she eventually nodded. Yu Yue quickly escaped the room.
The Qin family was anxiously waiting for the outcome.
Then they heard Ji Fei mutter softly, [Yu Yue, you’re done for. You actually agreed to consider it!]
The Qin family: !!!!!
Qin Xian frowned. That wasn’t like Yu Yue. Even if he were to break all ties with his father and leave the Yu Family, he wouldn’t care. How could he possibly agree to such a thing?
Then they heard Ji Fei complain.
[Although the so-called “consideration” was just a stalling tactic to placate this seemingly deranged, crazy woman, Yu Yue had already planned that if things couldn’t be resolved, he’d just run away. He only wanted Bai Xiaoxi, so he planned to attend the wedding, then leave without telling anyone, taking Bai Xiaoxi abroad. Screw everything else.]
The Qin family breathed a sigh of relief, even chuckling a bit. That was so Yu Yue—brilliant!
Qin Xian was puzzled, though. If that was the case, why was Ji Fei so anxious?
Then they felt Ji Fei suddenly stir in their arms, as if she was about to get up.
[Yu Yue, you unlucky fool, don’t you know what “walls have ears” means? You just blurted out everything, and Bai Xiaoxi in the next room overheard you!]
The Qin family: Ouch… what?!
Qin Xian seemed to recall the layout of the villa when they first entered. Each room upstairs had its own open balcony. If the balcony doors were open, someone in the next room could definitely hear what was being said.
But since the wedding was being held downstairs, no one should be in the rooms. Especially since Yu Yue and Ke Yun’er must have known the rooms were empty, so they didn’t bother closing the balcony doors.
It really was a cruel twist of fate.
[Yu Yue left in a hurry and didn’t notice anyone in the next room. Bai Xiaoxi has been hiding on the balcony, crying. No way, I can’t just sit by and do nothing. I hate these kinds of misunderstandings the most when watching TV. First, find the two of them, then encourage them to confront each other. Bai Xiaoxi is so pure-hearted, she won’t be able to hide anything.]
The Qin family also felt this mix-up was quite annoying. While it’s usually best not to meddle in others’ lives, this was something they couldn’t ignore.
“I…” Ji Fei hadn’t even found an excuse yet when she suddenly heard Qin Xian say, “Where do you want to go? I’ll come with you.”
Ji Fei looked at Qin Xian and felt that there was no need to hide things from him. “I want to find Xiaoxi and Yu Yue.”
Qin Xian… seemed like someone she could share small secrets with.
Of course, this was just Ji Fei’s instinctive thought. She didn’t bother making up an excuse, and since Qin Xian didn’t ask further and just offered to accompany her, they decided to act together.
[Hmm, Qin Xian is so smart, maybe he can figure things out quickly and analyze the truth. If he takes the lead, I won’t have to worry about people thinking it’s strange that I know things I shouldn’t.]
Qin Xian pulled Ji Fei up and, while finding an excuse to leave, secretly grinned to himself.
Great, his wife was becoming more and more reliant on him. This proved that Ji Fei had him in her heart. He was happy!
Earlier, it was mentioned that Yu Yue was accompanying the bride, and Xiaoxi would also go to the room prepared for the bride when she came to find him. So, asking anyone would tell them where to go.
It was an upstairs room, and since there were elevators downstairs, Qin Xian and Ji Fei didn’t run into Yu Yue, who was heading downstairs.
Ji Fei wasn’t worried, knowing that Bai Xiaoxi was still hiding in that room, crying. They headed there first.
As they were about to reach the designated room, they turned a corner and saw a man enter the room.
They both stopped and exchanged a glance.
“Is that…?” Ji Fei wasn’t sure. She had only seen a side profile for a second.
“Yu Yue’s uncle, Yu Yi,” Qin Xian said, his tone a bit odd.
It wasn’t that he doubted why the uncle would suddenly enter his sister-in-law’s room, but the look of anger on Yu Yi’s face as he entered was unmistakable.
Soon, Ji Fei provided the answer.
[Oh my god, this guy was eavesdropping in the next room! Yu Yue, you really need to be more careful. Your family’s rooms are like sieves!]
Qin Xian was also speechless.
The Qin family members were confused. Who was it?
[Is he going to threaten someone? Let me check…]
Qin Xian, however, decided to take Ji Fei to Bai Xiaoxi’s room first.
They wanted to knock, but the door was already open. Qin Xian had a hunch that something was off with Yu Yi, so to avoid alerting anyone, he just led Ji Fei inside.
Bai Xiaoxi was still on the balcony, but her expression showed she had just heard something else, as she was covering her mouth in shock. She didn’t even have time to react to the two suddenly appearing in her room.
At the same time, Ji Fei was shocked in her mind.
[Oh my god! These two are involved! Yu Yi suspects that Ke Yun’er’s child is his. After hearing that the child was lost and that they planned to have another child to replace it, he finally stormed in for an explanation! What on earth is going on here!]
