Chapter 496 Caught in the act!

That familiar voice made Fang Li stiffen.

Fang Li's heart instantly rose to her throat. When she turned around, she saw Xu Fangye's tall figure coming out of the car.

Her feeling was right, it really snowed.

Even in Beijing, it didn’t snow, but in Haicheng this year, it actually snowed.

Can!

Why is it so small?

I was unexpectedly caught red-handed by that bastard Xu Fangye!

Xu Fangye was wearing a black coat, and the light snow on his shoulders was particularly noticeable. It seemed that he had just returned from a busy trip to the Xu Group.

Their eyes met and the air froze.

Xu Fangye's gaze first fell on her flustered face, then swept across the plastic bag she was tightly clenching, and fell on the box in her hand. His brows were instantly twisted into a knot.

He raised his eyebrows, his gaze finally fixed on the corner of the white package in her hand.

"Why are you at the foot of the mountain so late at night? What are you holding in your hand?"

Xu Fangye's voice carried the chill of the late night, and his eyes were filled with unquestionable scrutiny.

Fang Li's hand shook and the plastic bag almost fell to the ground.

She wanted to hide behind herself, but her movements were too obvious, making her appearance even more conspicuous.

“No, nothing…”

Her eyes were evasive and her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

"nothing?"

Xu Fangye took two steps forward, looked down at her, and his tone suddenly became heavy.

"Xu Fangli! From childhood to adulthood, have you ever lied to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fangye reached out and snatched the thing from her arms.

For a moment, Fang Li almost saw the scene of her own death and closed her eyes resignedly.

"Xu Fangli, didn't you tell your family about your pregnancy a long time ago? Why are you secretly buying this now?"

"I......"

Seeing her hesitating, Xu Fangye was so angry that he loosened his tie and dragged her towards the car.

The cold wind blew in his face, and he quickly opened the car door and stuffed her in. His movements seemed fierce but gentle.

The heater in the car was whirring, and as soon as Fang Li got in, she felt that all the tense cells in her body relaxed a lot.

Xu Fangye got into the car and looked at her sideways.

Watching his fingers tapping on the steering wheel, Fang Li felt like it was the countdown to his death knell.

After a long while, Xu Fangye finally spoke: "Go ahead."

Seeing his sister biting her lip and not saying anything, he sneered: "Why, you dare not take responsibility for it, and you are pretending to be dumb now?"

Fang Li squeezed the pregnancy test stick until it creaked. "No, I just don't know how to say it. I didn't expect..."

Before he could finish his words, he felt a slap on his forehead.

Fang Li felt pain and immediately covered her mouth with her hands, her face full of grievance.

"Xu Fangli, ah Xu Fangli, you've really become more capable!"

His words hit Fang Li's heart like a hammer. Her eyes instantly turned red, and the nervousness and insecurity she had just felt turned into embarrassment of being exposed.

She bit her lip, twisting the zipper of her down jacket with her fingertips, and finally uttered a sentence after a long while: "Brother..."

"Don't call me brother!"

Xu Fangye frowned, his tone anxious and angry. "Do you think we're all fools? Back then, when Grandpa was forcing you to divorce Han Xi, you teary-eyedly said you were pregnant, and we believed you and stopped forcing you. And now what happened? You're secretly buying a pregnancy test in the middle of the night. So that whole story was all just bullshit?"

Fang Li was so overwhelmed by his questioning that she couldn't even lift her head. Tears fell onto the carpet. "The situation was different back then... Grandpa wouldn't listen to my explanation and insisted that I break up with him completely. I had no choice..."

"You have no choice but to lie about something like this?"

Xu Fangye's voice suddenly rose, then dropped again, his voice filled with gnashing teeth and helplessness. "Xu Fangli, have you become more capable? You're using your pregnancy as an excuse. Do you know how embarrassing it would be if this got out? Is the Xu family's daughter so worthless that she's throwing herself at you?"

"How can this be called giving away money? You don't know what kind of person Han Xi is, and besides, you're the one who brought us together!"

"you......!"

Xu Fangye was angry.

It was really a wrong move. If it weren't for the coercion and inducement of that bastard Han Xi, he would not have sent his own sister away.

Now, it's like shooting oneself in the foot!

Xu Fangye gritted his teeth and reached out to knock her forehead, but when he saw her red eyes, his hand stopped in mid-air. Finally, he sighed heavily and rubbed his eyebrows with his fingertips in annoyance.

Xu Fangye started the car and drove up the mountain road.

“You…”

His tone softened a bit, but still contained criticism. "Is your head filled with paste? How dare you make up such a lie? If you are really exposed, will Grandpa forgive you? If the Han family finds out, what will they think of you?"

Fang Li sniffed and choked up, "I didn't think too much about it at the time... Besides, only our family knew about this, not the Han family."

"So you still think your idea is good."

“No, no.”

Xu Fangye glared at her, his gaze falling on the pregnancy test stick in her hand, his tone unconsciously softened, "So now... do you suspect you're really pregnant?"

Fang Li nodded, then shook her head, her voice uncertain: "I don't know... The reaction has been particularly strong these past few days, different from before, so I wanted to give it a try."

Xu Fangye looked at her like this, feeling both angry and distressed.

Soon, the two returned to the villa.

After getting out of the car, they quietly returned to the small building. Xu Fangye picked up the plastic bag, took out the pregnancy test stick from it, and put it in her hand.

Fang Li was startled.

Xu Fangye was annoyed and lowered his voice: "What are you standing there for? Go in and check. Find out first."

Fang Li looked up at him, tears still in her eyes: "Brother, don't tell my parents..."

"Do you think I'm as brainless as you?"

Xu Fangye said unhappily, but he stepped aside to make room for her. "Go quickly. Come out when you're done. I'll be waiting for you in the living room."

Fortunately, only they, the brother and sister, live in this small building, and the courtyards of the old house are relatively far apart, so the noise is small and will not disturb others.

Fang Li held the pregnancy test stick and watched him turn and walk towards the living room. His steps were a little heavy, but when he walked to the sofa, he gently pulled his coat, obviously wanting to wait for her to come out.

When the bathroom door closed, Fang Li leaned against the door panel, feeling warm and bitter in her heart.

He clearly cares about her, but every time he opens his mouth, his words are so poisonous that they can choke her to death. He scolds her without mercy, but the concern in his words is more genuine than anyone else's.

Fang Li glanced towards the living room through the door.

Then he took a deep breath and opened the package.

Xu Fangye sat in the living room, looking at the watch on his wrist.

Five minutes passed and there was no movement in the bathroom.

Soon, ten minutes passed...

There was still no movement in the bathroom.

Xu Fangye frowned, stood up worriedly, and walked towards the bathroom.

The next moment, the bathroom lock clicked open, and Xu Fangli slowly came out holding two pregnancy test sticks.

Xu Fangye frowned and took two quick steps over. "How is it?"

Xu Fangli raised her eyes, her rims were red and her eyes were filled with moisture. She didn't know if she was frightened or what, but the corners of her mouth curled up as if she was about to cry.

Xu Fangye's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately reached out and patted her head, "What's wrong? Why are you still crying?"

"elder brother......"

Hearing Xu Fangli's voice trembling and as if she was really about to cry, Xu Fangye hurriedly and carefully took her into his arms and held her to comfort her.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? It doesn't matter whether you have it or not. I'm here. What are you afraid of?"

Listening to her brother's rare comfort, Fang Li burst into laughter while crying.

Xu Fangye frowned and pulled away to look at her.

Fang Li held up the pregnancy test stick with tears and laughter, "Brother, you are really going to be an uncle."
