As she spoke, Sun Meifen picked up the small bowl on the table.

Just as she was about to put the turtle jelly in her mouth, Jiang Can chuckled softly, "It's not that I'm reluctant to give it to my aunt, but this turtle jelly is really not something a pregnant woman can eat."

Sun Meifen's hand, which was holding the spoon, suddenly stopped.

"This was transported from Southeast Asia. It contains many precious Chinese herbs, but it is cold in nature. Pregnant women may miscarry if they eat it."

"Sister-in-law," Fu Xiuyu sneered, "this was sent by Cancan's parents as a token of respect to the old man. You're quite diligent, dragging it directly to your own doorstep?"

Sun Meifen paused for a moment, put down the spoon, and pushed the herbal jelly back.

Grandpa Fu couldn't stand staying any longer, so he got up, leaning on his cane, and went back inside.

"Huh? What's wrong with Dad?" Fu Chengwei asked blankly. "Sister, is Dad unhappy?"

Fu Xiuyu rolled her eyes at him.

"Honey, it's alright!" Fu Chengwei then looked at Sun Meifen and smiled, "What do you like to eat? I'll have someone make it for you! The chefs are all at home now, I'll start right away..."

"Chengwei," Fu Xiuyu said in a cold voice, "That's right, there are many chefs at home today, but it's all prepared by Dad for Cancan. It's none of your business!"

"Sister, what are you doing?!" Fu Chengwei shouted in dissatisfaction, pulling Sun Meifen along and storming out.

Sun Meifen hypocritically advised him that "harmony in the family brings prosperity in all things," which angered Fu Xiuyu so much that she picked up a cup and smashed it.

The cup was smashed to pieces, and Jiang Can rushed over to comfort it.

"Mom, it's not worth ruining your health over someone like that!"

"How disgusting!" Fu Xiuyu cursed angrily. "Can Can, look at her! Is she really pregnant?"

Jiang Can paused for a moment, then remained silent.

"I don't think that bitch is pregnant at all!" Fu Xiuyu said coldly. "She probably just wants money and is using pregnancy as an excuse! Just you wait, once she gets the money in a few days, she'll miscarry!"

However, Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing did not think so.

On the way home, the two analyzed:

"I think my aunt is definitely pregnant, it can't be fake."

Huo Zhixing looked at his wife with a smile in his eyes, "Tell me about it?"

"She stopped immediately when I said that herbal jelly is not suitable for pregnant women."

"Or maybe she's faking it? Since the fake pregnancy is an act, she might as well go all the way!"

"But……"

Jiang Can frowned; there were many things that didn't seem right, but she just couldn't put her finger on it.

She was an experienced woman when it came to pregnancy, and Sun Meifen's every move exuded caution and prudence, unlike an actress.

"Let's just assume she really is pregnant," Huo Zhixing said softly, holding her small hand. "But I don't think this child could be her uncle's."

Jiang Can nodded vigorously.

"Then whose is it?"

The two exchanged a glance. "Green Hat Kun?"

Then they shouted out at the same time:

"My husband is so smart!"

My wife is amazing!

After saying that, the two paused for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.

"She's carrying another man's child, yet she wants to take advantage of the Fu family," Huo Zhixing said in a deep voice. "That's probably her real purpose!"

“It’s not just that,” Jiang Can said after thinking for a moment. “What Sun Meifen did was actually very risky. Even if her uncle doesn’t suspect her, her grandfather and mother aren’t so easily fooled! They will definitely investigate the child’s bloodline in secret…”

"You mean," Huo Zhixing frowned slightly, "that Sun Meifen also thought of this?"

"If she didn't think of that, then we don't need to worry," the young woman chuckled. "It just means our opponent is too stupid!"

"What if she thinks of that?"

"Hmm...that means she has other purposes for wanting this child!" Jiang Can replied. "First of all, she's an older mother, and her physical condition probably doesn't allow her to have a child at this time. Secondly, do you remember what she said about us?"

Huo Zhixing suddenly remembered that at one of the Fu Group's regular meetings, Sun Meifen represented Meiwei Brokerage Company.

During the meeting, she spoke with barbs, saying that some people were following her all the time, which made her very unhappy.

"Some people" obviously refers to Huo Zhixing's subordinates.

Huo Zhixing suddenly realized, "In other words, if anything happens to the child she's carrying, she'll frame us!"

Jiang Can nodded seriously.

If Sun Meifen were to give birth, the risks would be far too great, since the child carries the blood of Lü Maokun. If this were discovered, she would face certain death.

Moreover, older mothers have a much higher incidence of complications during childbirth, and the quality of their children is likely to be lower.

If Sun Meifen had any sense, she wouldn't have risked her life to take such a dangerous gamble.

“So,” Jiang Can smiled faintly, “for our own safety, let’s stay away from my aunt for now!”

After he finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the car.

She looked up and found Huo Zhixing staring intently at her, a gentle smile on his lips.

"What...are you doing?"

The man suddenly approached.

Jiang Can quickly pushed him away by placing her small hands on his chest.

This man is a dog in the Chinese zodiac, always in heat?

"Huo Zhixing, what exactly do you want? If you keep this up, you're sleeping outside tonight!"

"Wife..." Third Master Huo felt extremely aggrieved, "I just wanted to praise you, why are you being so fierce?"

"Praise me?"

"Hmm." Third Master nodded. "Your analysis just now was absolutely right. People say 'pregnancy makes you stupid for three years,' so why doesn't it work for you?"

Jiang Can's face turned red, and she burst out laughing.

She cupped his face in her hands, stroking it gently.

The man still had sharp features, handsome and rugged, especially his sword-like eyebrows and deep eyes, which often made her fall for him.

However... he seems to be acting more and more foolish.

Could it be that the pregnancy brain that was originally hers has all been transferred to him?

Jiang Can nestled against him like a little bird, feeling his warm and firm heartbeat, her dimples overflowing with happiness.

...

Yin Cheng, following the instructions of his parents, came to Manchester to visit his sister.

Huo Zhixing sent out his largest entourage to pick him up.

After being brought back, he didn't need to stay in a hotel. Instead, he stayed in another small villa under Huo Zhixing's name, which was just across the street from where Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can were currently living, making it very convenient for him to come and go.

This greatly displeased Nie Xin, who made a sarcastic phone call to Huo Zhixing: "The treatment of a younger brother and a cousin is just different! You put your brother-in-law in a big villa, but you dump me, your cousin, in a hotel?"

"Nie Xin, is there any point in saying this?"

Even over the phone, Huo Zhixing could smell the jealousy in his voice.

Someone once said he was a jealous person.

"I arranged for you to stay in a hotel for your own good," Huo Zhixing said with a wicked grin, lowering his voice. "If you stayed at home, how would you have the space to flirt with your gypsy girl?"

"you……"

Unable to argue with him, Nie Xin hung up the phone.
