I'm Pregnant with the Villain's Child

Chapter 56 – She didn’t dare to move (5)

With the explanation provided by Ye Qing, a relationship was established with Ye Zhen and Lin Zhan. Mother Lu’s earlier amiable view of Ye Zhen faded. “Ye Zhen, even though I don’t have the right to dictate your actions since I’m not your parent, you’re Qingqing’s younger sister, so I still need to say something. Right now, your heart is set on love and your boyfriend, so you hot-headedly ran off with him. But, you don’t know how sinister a person’s heart can be. I want to ask you. Have you thought about your future? Have you thought about how worried and upset your parents are feeling right now?!”

Ye Zhen smiled and softly answered, “Aunty, Lin Zhan is a really good person. We were too impulsive before and failed to consider anything else. We’ll go back to carefully talk it out with my parents.”

“Alright, that’s good then. You’re a good child, just a bit too simple-minded. You can’t judge people just by their appearance. It takes time to see a person’s true heart. Your parents have more life experience than you. They wouldn’t misjudge someone.”

Ye Zhen repeatedly nodded while observing a moment of silence in tribute for the male lead in her heart.

Although it was a bit hard to struggle in the outside world, how could it be worse than staying in the Lu family and having to hear cutting remarks and gossip about himself?

Rather than staying in the outside world that was teeming with pleasures to enjoy, he came here where he would hear maddening words.

Love truly blinded people.

Ye Zhen stealthily kicked Lin Zhan’s foot under the table. She smiled at him to suggest that he shouldn’t take these words to heart.

As a male lead, whenever he was beaten down, the setbacks would only serve as his motivation to keep forging ahead!

However, all of this was noticed by Lu Beichuan. He totally caught the exchange and interaction between Ye Zhen and Lin Zhan above and below the table!

Lu Beichuan clenched his fist, which was below the table and hidden from sight. His good mood from his recent victory in taking control of the situation changed into depression because of Ye Zhen.

This woman had previously told him that she liked Lin Zhan, but he had thought she was just lying. He was shocked to see that this woman really did like Lin Zhan!

After the meal was over, Lu Shaoren gave an excuse and brought Lin Zhan to the study with him while Mother Lu arranged a room for Ye Zhen. Ye Zhen, who had been through a day of jolting surprises, finally had time alone to relax and rest. She accepted the set of ordinary-style silk pajamas that a maid brought over and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

The guest bedroom didn’t have an ensuite bathroom, so she had to go to the second floor’s bathroom to shower.

As she took a hot shower, Ye Zhen felt as if the exhaustion from the evening’s upheavals was being washed away.

After she was done, Ye Zhen used a towel dry off her hair. Dragging her slippers along, she walked out of the bathroom.

Right after walking out of the bathroom, she heard a voice coming from a bathroom adjacent to the bathroom she had been using.

That voice sounded like Ye Qing’s.

In the other bathroom’s narrow space, Ye Qing and Lin Zhan were standing on opposite sides. They had been lovers for the past three years and had only been separated for a few days, but their tenderness towards each other seemed to have been completely obliterated.

“Lin Zhan, what do you mean by this? Why did you never tell me that you’re Lu family’s illegitimate child?”
