Ye Zhao was speechless, then glanced at her and said as she walked down the stairs, "What's it to you..."

Her calm gaze and nonchalant tone instantly ignited Ye Ling behind her. She turned around angrily and said, "So what if you're pregnant? You think you're so great? Whether you can even give birth is another matter..."

The fierce tone and vicious words made Ye Zhao stop in her tracks. She suddenly remembered the abortion squad in a certain legend. How come Ye Ling's character was just like theirs?

Ye Zhao merely frowned, ignoring Ye Ling behind her, and continued walking downstairs.

Just as they were about to reach the first floor, a beautiful and wealthy woman walked towards them. She smiled apologetically at Ye Zhao and said, "Zhao Zhao, don't take it to heart. That girl speaks without thinking. Be careful not to upset your baby."

Yang Wan? Ye Zhao glanced at her a few times without saying a word, and didn't notice the gloomy expression on Yang Wan's face the moment she turned around.

The Ye family's detached villa was decorated in a very extravagant manner, as if they were afraid that others would not know that the family was rich. The living room was filled with all kinds of exquisite objects, each of which looked very valuable.

Ye Feng sat on the sofa in the living room. Unlike the fat and big-eared image she had imagined, he was not fat or old. On the contrary, he looked younger than she had imagined, and his temperament was gentle, like a refined middle-aged man.

When he saw Ye Zhao, his face was full of smiles. He got up and walked over: "Have you eaten? Are you feeling unwell? You said you were a little dizzy this afternoon, which scared your father. Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

Seeing this, Ye Zhao felt a little conflicted; Ye Feng looked like a kind father.

Before Ye Zhao could say anything, Zhang Ma hurried in and said, "Sir, President Shen is here."

"Mr. Shen, Shen Du?" Ye Zhao tugged at her sleeve, feeling unconsciously nervous. The people in the living room all looked at her before walking away.

"Zhang Ma, go make some tea..." Ye Feng said hurriedly, then turned around and went out to greet her.

Yang Wan looked at her and smiled, "Zhao Zhao, it seems President Shen came here for you. He really values ​​you..."

"Valued?" Ye Zhao didn't believe it at all; she guessed they were here to discuss what to do with the baby in her belly.

As he pondered, several people walked in from outside. The living room was brightly lit, and Ye Zhao immediately recognized the person leading the group.

The man was dressed in a black suit, with a tall and straight figure, long legs, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and an outstanding temperament. His eyes were sharp and made people feel nervous when they looked at him.

Ye Zhao swallowed hard, thinking to herself that although the original owner was stupid, she had good taste. Such a handsome man was her fiancé, so what was wrong with sleeping with him?

Despite her thoughts, Ye Zhao regained her composure as the group approached, her gaze falling on them as she discreetly observed them.

Ye Feng, smiling, followed Shen Du and said, "Has President Shen had dinner yet? I'll have someone prepare some..."

Unfortunately, Shen Du didn't give him a chance to finish speaking. He simply raised his hand to interrupt him, saying, "President Ye, there's no need to trouble yourself. I have something to discuss with Ye Zhao. I'll leave after we're done."

Ye Zhao met Shen Du's gaze, her eyes somewhat unfocused. To be honest, this person was really good-looking, and she was afraid that if she looked at him a few more times, she would lose control, just like the original owner of this body.

In the study, Ye Zhao went in, turned around, and closed the door. She felt a little uneasy and didn't know what to do. Just then, she heard Chen Du say, "I came here today to talk to you about the child. I think it's better to talk about it in person. I want to keep the child. What do you think?"

He appeared calm and composed, his tone detached and emotionless, as if he were discussing the fate of an object rather than a small life.

Ye Zhao was also quite bewildered at this moment. In less than two hours since she woke up, she had already received too much information. The most explosive thing was of course the child in her belly. Now she had to decide whether to keep or leave the child. It was... quite exciting.

"Haven't decided yet? Or do you have any requirements?"

Shen Du understood Ye Zhao's personality fairly well, so when he saw that she didn't speak, he frowned and asked a question.

Ye Zhao then looked up at him: "Um... I haven't thought about it yet, give me a little more time..."

A little life! Ye Zhao dared not be careless. Although it was uncertain whether the child in her belly would even exist, since according to the usual tropes of romance novels, the male lead would most likely not have a relationship with the female supporting character, and it was very likely that the scheming female supporting character was pretending, she couldn't say for sure!

In short, let's just put it off for now!

Upon hearing this, Chen Du looked at her with a hint of confusion, then lowered his head and pondered for a few seconds before saying, "I still hope you can keep the child. You won't need to worry about anything related to him in the future, and of course I won't mistreat you. It's just that I haven't thought about marriage yet..."

Shen Du's voice was cold and deep, and coupled with his expressionless face, Ye Zhao thought his words implied a desire to abandon the mother and keep the child.

She was silent for a moment before saying, "I haven't thought about the child yet..."

"Are you threatening me?" Shen Du frowned unhappily.

Ye Zhao was completely bewildered. How was telling the truth considered a threat?

Seeing her puzzled expression, Chen Du seemed a little impatient. He walked past Ye Zhao toward the door, saying as he went, "Contact me again after you've thought it through. The child's fate is up to you."

Ye Zhao rolled her eyes speechlessly upon hearing this. What kind of person is she? She's just telling the truth and she's being threatened?

Ye Feng's voice came from outside the door, trying to persuade Chen Du to stay. Ye Zhao slowly walked out and bumped into Ye Ling, who was smiling brightly.

With a mocking expression, she said sarcastically, "A mother's status depends on the man she's carrying. Mr. Shen isn't just anyone. Who knows if the child in your belly is even his..."

Damn it! Ye Zhao had considered this possibility before, but she was still momentarily flustered when Ye Ling brought it up. However, seeing Ye Ling's gloating expression, Ye Zhao couldn't help but retort, "What's it to you!" She also rolled her eyes at her.

After Ye Zhao finished speaking, she turned and went upstairs, leaving Ye Ling standing there with an angry expression.

After returning to her room, Ye Zhao unlocked her phone with her fingerprint and started browsing various social media apps. However, before she could finish scrolling through WeChat, a text message came from an unsigned number. She opened it and glanced at it, her face gradually turning pale.

"Two million, or I'll expose the father of your child."

As if worried that she was not threatened, the man added: "The money must arrive within three days, or I will tell Chen Du the truth."

Ye Zhao's hands trembled with panic. She wasn't worried about Shen Du finding out, but rather, who was the father of this 'Ye Zhao' in her belly? Had she gotten involved with some unclean people outside?

She really left her with a mess. After Ye Zhao came to her senses, she scolded the original owner again before she began to recall the plot and think about what she should do.

She only vaguely remembered the plot of the book. She probably skipped through the details of the supporting female character's storyline and didn't remember the pregnancy at all. So she was completely confused about many things, especially the child. Did it exist? If it did, who was the father?

Ye Zhao was racking her brains, but couldn't come up with a solution all night. She eventually drifted off to sleep.
