Seeing the serious expression on her face, Su Zhinan also put away his smile and asked, "What is it?"
Su Ping cleared her throat and said softly in a low voice, "I'm pregnant."
With a thud, Su Zhinan opened his mouth wide and dropped the chopsticks in his hand to the ground.
The father and daughter exchanged a glance and simultaneously bent down to pick up the chopsticks from the ground.
"How dare that kid? Even if the two families want to arrange a marriage, they can't just do whatever they want. You haven't even graduated yet..."
Su Zhinan had cursed Xu Yichen a thousand times in his heart. When he thought that his daughter had really been taken advantage of by a pig, his voice choked with heartache.
He wished the chopsticks on the ground could turn into cleavers so he could go and fight Xu Yichen to the death.
What?
Su Ping blinked, realizing that Su Zhinan had misunderstood.
He coughed a little embarrassedly and said, "No, Dad, you scolded him too early. It wasn't Yichen."
These words were like a thunderbolt, causing Su Zhinan to stumble and fall off his chair.
Did he hear that right? What incredible thing did Pingping just say?
So she's pregnant with someone else's child and is planning to let that Xu family boy be the one to take over and become the father?
Although he didn't like Xu Yichen, he knew that being cuckolded was not a pleasant experience.
The commotion attracted the attention of others, and Zhen Xiang immediately said to the waiter wiping the cups not far away, "What's going on with you? Hurry up and bring a new pair of chopsticks."
Meanwhile, Su Ping and Su Zhinan were hiding under the tablecloth and didn't hear what was being said upstairs at all.
Su Zhinan, in particular, was filled with shock at that moment.
"Does Yichen know about this?"
Su Zhinan originally wanted to address him as "that kid," but considering how miserable he already was, he changed his address at the last minute.
Su Ping paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "He doesn't know."
Su Zhinan felt even more sorry for Xu Yichen and sighed, saying, "It's alright, Dad will prepare a generous dowry for you. Anyway, you're my only daughter, so it's not a big deal..."
Hearing his words, Su Ping stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
She hadn't expected that even after she said all that, Su Zhinan still wouldn't understand what she meant.
“Dad, I know that it’s impossible for me and Yichen to be together, and I like the father of my child now.”
Hearing her say that, Su Zhinan understood. He was glad that she had told him in advance, otherwise he would have felt really bad after the two families announced the engagement.
"How long has it been?"
Hearing that Su Zhinan had focused on the wrong thing, Su Ping could only casually answer with a timeframe: "Almost two weeks."
Fearing Su Zhinan wouldn't believe her, Su Ping continued, "Although I made a mistake by being with the child's father that night, I don't regret it."
"Pingping, you didn't lie to Daddy, did you? You've been in contact with several men since you were discharged from the hospital..."
Su Zhinan suddenly looked at Su Ping with some suspicion and asked in return.
Oh no, I'm starting to doubt myself.
Su Ping knew that her words didn't sound very convincing. After all, she had been so desperate for Xu Yichen not long ago, and now she was suddenly pregnant with someone else's child. Not to mention Su Zhinan, even she herself found it hard to believe.
To make her words sound more convincing, Su Ping gritted her teeth and said resolutely, "Why would I lie to you? You know the child's father too."
The waiter, who was carrying chopsticks, saw the father and daughter still squatting under the table, reluctant to come out, so he could only frown and approach them patiently.
But do wealthy people like them have a habit of crawling under tables? Or is it just a habit of the Su family?
Upon hearing that he knew them, Su Zhinan went through everyone in his mind, and finally his expression turned somewhat grim.
"Old Feng..."
Upon hearing Su Zhinan's guess that it was Uncle Feng, Su Ping quickly clarified, "Dad, what are you talking about? How could it be Uncle Feng!"
"Then who else could it be? It can't be..."
"Little Song!"
Seeing Su Ping's tacit attitude, Su Zhinan felt like the sky had fallen.
Although he did think highly of Song Qi's child, he really couldn't accept that the two of them had a child so soon after they met.
"So Dad, I'm pregnant with Song Qi's child now, and I absolutely can't let Aunt Zhen say those things tonight..."
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Su Ping contentedly helped Su Zhinan lift the tablecloth from under the table to get up.
When they looked up, they saw a boy dressed as a waiter standing behind them.
His expression was unreadable, but Su Ping's heart skipped a beat for no reason, and she looked away guiltily.
When exactly did Song Qi arrive? He probably didn't hear anything!
Thinking about what she had just said, Su Ping had a feeling that if Song Qi knew, he would definitely drag her to the hospital for a checkup.
But the situation was urgent, and she really couldn't think of anyone to take the fall for.
She has always been honest and rarely spreads rumors. Unexpectedly, the only time she did spread a rumor, she was caught red-handed by the person involved.
"you……"
Before Su Ping could finish speaking, Song Qi reached out and helped the two of them up.
Su Zhinan then noticed Song Qi, and remembering what his daughter had just said to him under the table, his expression became somewhat unnatural.
I don't know how to face him.
He coughed once, then straightened his slightly wrinkled suit and sat up straight.
Su Ping felt that Song Qi had not left, but was still looking at her.
Song Qi's gaze did indeed fall on Su Ping, his eyes fixed on her stomach without blinking.
He found himself suddenly at a loss when he heard that Su Ping had a child.
He had no memory of that night, and he never expected that she would actually get pregnant.
But he wasn't ready to be a father yet. Did she want to have this child?
She probably wanted to give birth, otherwise she wouldn't have been willing to give up her engagement with Xu Yichen and tell her father about it.
For some reason, when he learned that she had chosen him over Xu Yichen, he felt a strange emotion.
He felt a mixture of happiness and something else, and he didn't know how to describe it.
Su Zhinan was a little distracted. He didn't see Zhen Xiang's eye signals several times. Finally, he made a decision and took out his phone to send Zhen Xiang a message.
He essentially said that he needed to reconsider the marriage proposal between the two families and would call it off for today. To express his apology, he would prioritize cooperating with the Xu family on future projects.
When Zhen Xiang saw him gesturing for her to look at her phone, her heart sank after reading the message.
