"Yes. I like Tang Shu."

At this moment, Gu Jin no longer tried to hide anything.

“But she doesn’t like me,” he said frankly. “You say I have a bad attitude, and the wife I’m going to marry doesn’t have me in her heart, so where am I supposed to go?”

He tossed the 24K pure brass pager from his waist onto the cutting board. "See this thing?"

The metal and wooden cutting board collided with a thud, accompanied by his furious and gritting voice: "I can even warm up this lump of iron, but I can't warm her up. Her heart is colder than the knife in the hands of my second aunt who has been killing fish at the market for twenty years!"

6.

The answer was obvious, and Ye Yun blurted out, "But she's willing to have your child."

"You're talking nonsense!"

"I'm serious, Tang Shu is pregnant. I just saw her before you got home."

*Clang!* Gu Jin promptly threw away the knife in her hand, not even having time to look at her finger that had almost been cut, and abruptly turned her head to look at Ye Yun.

"Don't get agitated."

Ye Yun wanted to see his hands.

Gu Jin pressed his hand into the basin of water beside him, rinsed it casually for a couple of seconds, and said indifferently, "Didn't cut myself, don't worry, I'm not that bad. What did you just say?"

"Oh." Seeing that he was really alright, Ye Yun repeated, "I told you that I saw Tang Shu this afternoon. She said she's pregnant and asked me to ask you what you think."

Gu Jin trembled, as if she had heard something unbelievable.

“I will testify.”

A soft, ethereal voice suddenly rang out from the kitchen doorway, startling the two of them once again.

Gu Jin yanked open the kitchen door.

Qin Zheng was seen standing at the door holding Xiao Chuqi, and he covered Xiao Chuqi's mouth to avoid being discovered.

The naive little Chuqi thought Qin Zheng was playing with her. She blinked her big, dark eyes and waved her little arms excitedly when she saw Ye Yun.

Ye Yun couldn't help but rub her forehead.

"Seriously, Qin Zheng? When did you develop this habit of eavesdropping?" Gu Jin glared at him and kicked the kitchen door shut.

Ye Yun had just reached out her hand to hug the child when…

It doesn't matter, she's completed her mission anyway. Gu Jin must have been tempted, and she needs to go back and report to Tang Shu.

"You go ahead with your work, I'm going out."

"Don't go."

Just as Ye Yun was about to back away, Gu Jin grabbed the back of her collar.

hiss……

Ye Yun turned around and slapped his hand away, frowning impatiently, "I'm not Gu Yingying, can't you be a little more polite?"

"That's not something that can happen between us."

Afraid she would run away, Gu Jin blocked the doorway and asked earnestly, "You said Tang Shu is pregnant?"

Ye Yun sighed, "I've already said it twice."

Gu Jin asked persistently again, "Are you serious?"

"Really, there's no benefit in lying to you."

"Oh..." Gu Jin seemed to remember something, and was about to speak, but after pausing for two seconds, she gradually swallowed it back.

But he wouldn't let Ye Yun leave, blocking the doorway with a hesitant expression on his face.

Ye Yun's eyes twitched slightly. "What are you doing?"

When she asked that, Gu Jin finally spoke up: "She told you she was pregnant, and then sent you to sound me out, right?"

Ye Yun nodded.

Did she say whose child it was?

"???"

Ye Yun, bewildered, stared wide-eyed with innocent and confused looks.

Gu Jin gave a nonchalant scoff.

"Oh, she only told you she was pregnant, but did she tell you that her boyfriend from abroad came to see her? She traveled all the way across the ocean for love. Can you be sure that she's carrying my child?"

"!"
