Zhou Qiang came back from outside with a serious look on his face. Li Mu and Lin Wan were discussing the decoration of the store.
"Brother...Lifang...she is pregnant."
Zhou Qiang looked at the two people who were chatting enthusiastically and spoke hesitantly.
Lin Wan, who was originally very happy, suddenly changed her expression, frowned tightly, and said nothing.
Instead, Li Mu looked at Zhou Qiang with an expected look and asked, "Didn't you two lose contact? Did she come to see you today?"
"Well... I was on the street shopping. I ran into her. I wanted to avoid her, but... she rushed over to me and wouldn't let me go, explaining to me what happened last time."
"Then... I didn't know I wanted to pay attention to her, but... she said she was pregnant with my child."
"Brother, what should I do? My mind is in a mess now..."
Zhou Qiang became more and more excited as he spoke, and squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, at a loss.
Seeing Zhou Qiang like this, Li Mu really didn't know what to say. He walked forward and pulled Zhou Qiang to sit down.
...
...
Lin Wan listened for a long time and said hesitantly: "Qiangzi, think about it carefully, will this child be yours? If it is yours, you have to take responsibility."
"As a man, you have to take responsibility!"
Hearing what Lin Wan said, Zhou Qiang raised his head and said, "I know, but my mind is very confused now. It's not that I don't want to take responsibility, but I have been thinking about whether Zhou Lifang and I are suitable for each other. After we got together, I found that Lifang is different from what I thought in many aspects..."
"I originally thought that we would have the same relationship as you and my brother, but now that I think about it, that's not the case at all. I was just wishful thinking."
"I can take on the responsibility of being a father, but I am not sure if I can continue with Lifang."
Li Mu, who had been silent at first, became a little annoyed when he heard Zhou Qiang say that.
"What did I tell you before? Didn't I tell you that you couldn't subdue her? Did you listen?"
"Now that Zhou Lifang is pregnant, you know you are anxious. What were you doing before?"
After being scolded by Li Mu, Zhou Qiang lowered his head and said nothing.
Lin Wan looked at Li Mu who was getting more and more agitated, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, saying, "Okay, okay, now that it has happened, let's think about how to solve it first."
Li Mu calmed down after hearing Lin Wan's words, and said with a long sigh, "Bring Zhou Lifang back to chat in the evening."
Zhou Qiang couldn't help but nodded.
After saying this, the three of them fell silent, struggling with the matter, wondering whether or not to tell Grandma Zhou.
Li Mu knew in his heart that the child could not be Zhou Qiang's, but now that it had happened, everyone assumed that it was Zhou Qiang's. Even if they wanted to tell Grandma Zhou, Li Mu would not be able to say anything.
"Dad, Mom, Uncle Qiangzi, what are you doing?"
Ruo was led in from outside by Aunt Wang next door, and asked the three people who were sitting in the yard with their heads down and not speaking.
Lin Wan, who was the first to react, walked towards the door.
He patted Ruoruo's head and said, "Nothing. Ruoruo, can you sleep at Grandma Wang's house today? Mom and Dad have something to do."
Then he looked at Aunt Wang with an apologetic look and said, "Sorry, Aunt Wang, I may have to trouble you today."
Aunt Wang, who had sensed something was wrong a long time ago, nodded, said nothing, and took Ruoruo home.
————————————————-
Seeing that it was almost midnight, Li Mu said, "Don't tell grandma about this today."
"Let's discuss it with Zhou Lifang first."
After saying that, Li Mu went into the kitchen, ready to cook a few dishes so that he could have a good chat with Zhou Lifang in the evening.
Lin Wan looked at Zhou Qiang, shook her head, and said, "Go pick it up later."
Zhou Qiang nodded, watched Lin Wan go to the kitchen to help, and sat alone in the yard in a daze.
After entering the kitchen, Lin Wan looked at Li Mu's back and fell into deep thought, thinking over and over again about what Li Mu had said to her before.
Thinking about what Zhou Qiang told them today about Zhou Lifang's pregnancy, I always felt that something was wrong.
Li Mu, who had been busy cooking, looked up and saw Lin Wan standing at the door, staring at him without saying a word.
Confused, he asked, "What's wrong?"
After hearing Li Mu's words, Lin Wan came back to her senses and asked seriously, "Is the child Zhou Qiang's?"
As soon as Lin Wan asked this question, Li Mu stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say.
Seeing Li Mu's silence, Lin Wan had a rough idea in her mind, but she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she just stared at Li Mu without saying anything.
"I guess that's not the case. Qiangzi has only been with her for a short time, how can it happen that fast?"
Li Mu didn't want to hide it from Lin Wan, so he spoke directly.
After all, if Qiangzi wants to completely get rid of Zhou Lifang, he will need Lin Wan's help. He doesn't want to force himself to resent him later.
After hearing Li Mu's answer, Lin Wan asked directly: "Then what are you going to do?"
"Keep Zhou Lifang calm first. I want to see what Zhou Lifang wants to do!" Li Mu's face was filled with resentment when he thought of Zhou Lifang.
Looking at Li Mu like this, Lin Wan always felt that Li Mu, apart from not wanting Zhou Lifang to have contact with Zhou Qiang, also had an indescribable feeling towards her.
It’s hard to say what it is, but Lin Wan is very sure that it is not love.
"Okay." After Lin Wan answered Li Mu's question, she helped Li Mu cook.
Zhou Qiang was dazed for a while, then walked to the door of Zhou Lifang's barber shop like a zombie and waited for her to get off work.
Zhou Lifang came out of the barber shop and saw Zhou Qiang standing at the door. She walked up to him with a smile, took his hand intimately, and said:
"Brother Qiang, you came to see me, are you not angry anymore?"
Zhou Qiang looked at Zhou Lifang like this without saying a word, and slowly pulled his hand away from Zhou Lifang's arms.
"Brother Qiang, don't be angry. I'm pregnant with our love child. Please forgive me!"
Zhou Lifang looked at Zhou Qiang and said coquettishly.
When Zhou Qiang heard the word "child", Ruoruo's lovely appearance flashed in his mind, and a hint of anticipation appeared between his brows.
He hopes that his child can be as cute as Ruoruo.
But when he thought that it was Zhou Lifang who was pregnant, Zhou Qiang's expression changed instantly, and he said stiffly:
"Let's go. My brother is calling for dinner tonight and asked me to come pick you up and talk about the child."
Hearing Zhou Qiang's words, Zhou Lifang's heart was filled with joy. She immediately took Zhou Qiang's hand and walked towards Li Mu's home.
Zhou Qiang let Zhou Lifang pull him forward and did not try to break free from her hand.
I was afraid that if I moved too much, Zhou Lifang would fall down and the baby would be gone...
