Chapter 123: Chapter 123 Pearl Gestating in Secret
After returning to the Imperial Capital, Zhong Niangyao didn’t delay and went straight back to the Zhong Family residence.
Even though she felt little sense of belonging to the Zhong Family, with Old Sir and Old Madam Zhong around, she felt sowhat better. However, she was considering whether she should move out and live on her own.
She thought she’d be more comfortable living by herself. But, she felt if she brought it up, Old Sir and Old Madam Zhong would definitely not agree. So, this was a matter that required long-term consideration.
Upon her return to the Zhong Family ho, finding that Old Master Zhong and Old Madam Zhong were not in, Zhong Niangyao went straight to her room to rest.
However, she had barely gone upstairs when she encountered Zhong ngfan.
Seeing the pink aura entwined with wisps of dark energy around ng Fan, a faint dark glint flashed in Nianyao’s eyes.
...
Previously, she had vaguely ntioned to the Old Madam the possibility that ng Fan might run into rotten peach blossom luck. She wasn’t sure whether Old Madam Zhong didn’t understand or if ng Fan hadn’t been persuaded, but the bad peach blossom luck seed not only to persist but even to grow worse. And—
Nianyao’s gaze couldn’t help but fall on ng Fan’s lower abdon, her eyes twinkling with obscure and dark light as she bit her lip, saying nothing.
“Zhong Niangyao, what craziness is this?”
Seeing Nianyao’s gaze fixed on her lower abdon, ng Fan felt a flicker of guilt, “Staring at like that, what exactly are you trying to do?”
“It’s just a glance, why are you reacting so strongly?” Nianyao retracted her gaze, speaking aningfully, “Or is it that you have so shaful secret that you fear I’ll discover by looking?”
“I don’t know what nonsense you’re spouting.” ng Fan glared fiercely at Nianyao, “A proper young lady, who used to chase after the Lai family’s illegitimate child. Now, you’re wilding out, truly without parents’ discipline, you beco wild!”
Originally, Nianyao didn’t plan to entangle with ng Fan. But after hearing ng Fan’s words, she stopped her intended departure, fixing her deep gaze on ng Fan. Those profound eyes seed able to pierce through all of ng Fan’s secrets.
Under that gaze, ng Fan felt especially guilty for so reason. She took a deep breath, was about to say sothing, but then saw Nianyao approaching her.
Watching Nianyao close in, ng Fan felt a surge of fear in her heart. She kept backing away until she was up against the wall with nowhere to retreat, and only then did she stop.
Then, she saw Nianyao’s raised right hand, and she startled, blurting out, “Zhong Niangyao, I’m telling you, if you dare to hit , my parents won’t let you off the hook.”
If it were an ordinary situation, she would have pushed Nianyao away and left. But today, for so reason, she couldn’t muster the will to flee.
She vaguely regretted that she had ntioned Nianyao’s parents just now.
Nianyao’s hand ca down, but it didn’t land on ng Fan’s face; rather, it rested on ng Fan’s lower abdon.
ng Fan’s eyes widened in shock, looking at Nianyao with unmistakable fear. Her lips trembled without forming any words. In fact, she now wished Nianyao would just slap her.
Nianyao’s hand, resting on ng Fan’s lower abdon, her mouth curved into a smile, but the smile didn’t reach her eyes, her words were chilling, “ng Fan, you shouldn’t have ntioned my parents. Even if I lack their upbringing, I’m not like you, pregnant before marriage! With such a comparison, they should be quite pleased with now!”
“As for you, I wonder what your parents will think when they find out they’re about to be grandparents. Will they be happy? Or angry?”
With each sentence, the color drained from ng Fan’s face, and if the wall hadn’t been behind her, she might have fallen to the ground.
But even so, she stubbornly spoke up, “Zhong Niangyao, you’re talking nonsense! If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth right now.”
“Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, you know very well yourself,” Nianyao shrugged indifferently, continuing to speak, “The truth speaks louder than words. Whether you are pregnant can’t be faked.”
Panic filled ng Fan’s eyes as she pushed Nianyao away, “Lunatic, I have no idea what you’re saying.”
After saying this, she quickly walked forward, intending to leave.
But after just a few steps, as if she thought of sothing, she turned her head, staring at Nianyao with a vicious look, “Zhong Niangyao, I warn you, if you dare to spread rumors, I won’t let you off.”
After saying this, she left in a hurry, as if sothing was chasing her.
As for ng Fan’s threats, Nianyao rely laughed it off; she too turned around and headed for her room.
Back in her room, Nianyao began to calculate with her fingers.
When she opened her eyes again, she couldn’t help but frown.
She hadn’t spoken nonsense just now; ng Fan was indeed pregnant. Although it was early days, going to a hospital would confirm it.
Unexpectedly, such a thing had happened within the re ten days she had been away. To be precise, ng Fan had already gotten together with that man before she had left.
But she really hadn’t expected ng Fan to be so daring as to have conceived in secrecy. This would definitely cause a huge commotion in the Zhong Family, and what was most important was—
ng Fan’s child really had to be born now.
It seed this matter should be reported to Old Sir and Old Madam Zhong sooner rather than later. The longer it dragged on, the bigger the scandal would beco.
As for ng Fan’s threats, Nianyao didn’t take them to heart, let alone feel any fear.
Even if ng Fan sought revenge, Nianyao wasn’t worried. Besides, she had already confronted ng Fan directly today. Even if she did nothing, ng Fan wouldn’t feel at ease and would definitely create so trouble.
Most importantly, Old Sir and Old Madam Zhong truly cared for her. Although she didn’t feel much attachnt to the Zhong Family, she didn’t wish for them to be embroiled in scandal, as in the end, it would be Old Sir and Old Madam who would be worried.
