What important information has this unreliable system been hiding from her? Lan Qingyue grabbed two cushions, rested her chin on them, and pondered. If the original owner had a child, who was the father? Chu Xiao? If it was Chu Xiao, wouldn't it have been simpler to just get married because of the pregnancy? Why go through the trouble of adopting another child after the birth?
That doesn't make sense!
So, the child's father is someone else! That's certain, but what about the child? Whether he's dead or alive is still uncertain.
Lan Qingyue felt a wave of dizziness. Liu Liqi grabbed her arm and shook it, "Qing'er, what are you thinking about? I called you several times and you didn't respond."
"ah?"
Of course, I can't say what I'm thinking!
Lan Qingyue shook her head, making up a story, "I was sleepy, I was just spacing out, hahaha~~~"
Liu Liqi cupped Lan Qingyue's small face in her hands and stared intently at her. Perhaps because of her pregnancy, she wasn't wearing makeup. Her fair skin and delicate features added to her radiance. Someone who could win with just a bare face must have saved so much money on cosmetics.
Lan Qingyue's thoughts drifted again. Looking at Liu Liqi's serious and pretty face, she wished she could see some secret in her expression. Feeling guilty, she touched her nose, leaned back, and lazily shook her leg. "Oh, I'm so hungry. I want fried chicken, hamburgers, pizza, barbecue, cake..."
"Stop right there!" Liu Liqi couldn't help but pinch Lan Qingyue's cheek. "Look at you, you still have the nerve to call Shuo Chuchu a foodie. I think you're a foodie too. She inherited that from you."
Lan Qingyue: "..."
That's a lot...
Liu Liqi was the original owner's best friend. The two met in the orphanage. Later, the original owner was adopted by a kind person, and the two never lost contact. Counting the time, the two have known each other for more than 20 years. With more than 20 years of friendship, barring the melodramatic accident of best friends turning against each other, the friendship has also risen to the level of family affection. Liu Liqi knew that the original owner was pregnant. Did she not know that the original owner and Chu Xiao had adopted a child from the orphanage?
A huge question arose in Lan Qingyue's mind, but she couldn't bring herself to ask directly. Frustration welled up in her heart instantly. This feeling of knowing there was a problem but being unable to solve the mystery was really torturous.
"Qing'er!!! You're daydreaming again!" Liu Liqi's loud shout startled Lan Qingyue so much that she almost jumped out of her skin.
She looked away from Liu Liqi with a disgusted expression, pretending to pick her ear, "What are you doing? You're about to be a mother, can't you be a little more ladylike?"
Liu Liqi waved her hand dismissively. While Lan Qingyue was huddled up by the sofa, she took off her slippers and sat cross-legged, taking up a "seat" for two. "I'm not a lady, okay? I'd rather be a chivalrous woman than a lady."
Lan Qingyue: "Come on, you call yourself a chivalrous woman? You've been reading too many martial arts novels."
"No!" Liu Liqi held up one finger and waved it. "It's because I've watched too many of your dramas."
Lan Qingyue: "..."
Aren't those characters villainous supporting female characters? What do they have to do with chivalrous women?
Lan Qingyue and Liu Liqi bickered for over an hour, but Lan Qingyue couldn't stand her rumbling stomach anymore. With slightly trembling hands, she ordered herself a deluxe takeout meal and, under Liu Liqi's resentful gaze, cooked her a bowl of light tomato and egg noodles.
