Chapter 615: 601, The mistake of drinking too much (1)_1 Chapter 615: 601, The mistake of drinking too much (1)_1 Her delicate white fingers were holding a fairy tale book, and her eyes crinkled with happiness.

A fairy tale book, it seemed incongruous with her Family’s domineering status!

Quan Jingwu glanced at the book in her hand, his lip curling slightly.

“Shen Hao sent it over.”

She laughed, tucking the book into his hand, “Then you read it to the baby.”

“Me, read?” Quan Jingwu looked down at the fairy tale book in his hand, a hint of disdain flickering in his eyes.

She pouted, “Can’t you?”

“Want to listen?” Seeing her pout, he chuckled softly.

Jian Qing nodded, “The baby wants to listen, too.”

“And the reward?”

She shook her head, amused at him, reached around his neck and kissed his lips.

There was a crisp “smack” sound, and both of them broke into smiles in an unspoken understanding.

Quan Jingwu’s eyes darkened slightly, and a trace of depression flitted through the depths of his eyes that was almost invisible.

The spring night was short, his wife was pregnant, and he could do nothing. How frustrating!

The arrival of the little bun was indeed too early.

At this moment, Jingwu completely forgot his previous anticipation of the little bun. He didn’t even think about how the little bun would come so quickly if he hadn’t been so diligent in his efforts.

He scooped her into his arms. Jian Qing found a comfortable position in his embrace and lazily snuggled into him.

Quan Jingwu placed one hand on her waist and opened the fairy tale book with the other. The colourful illustrations seemed to have a hint of childlike fun.

“Far away in the ocean, the water is so blue, like the beautifully colored petals of cornflowers…”

His deep, magnetic voice resonated in the room, reading the fairy tale story leisurely, full of unspeakable charm.

The corners of Jian Qing’s lips curled up, her clear ink eyes twinkling, like a bright half-moon in the night sky.

She covered his hand with hers, placing it on her flat belly.

Baby, Daddy’s voice is beautiful, isn’t it?

The night was still long, with the man’s deep voice lingering in the room for a long time.

…

During the lively times in every household, the old An mansion in the suburbs seemed somewhat deserted.

There was no New Year atmosphere, the living room felt slightly depressed.

“Mom, have you called big brother?” An Rong asked cautiously, stealing glances at An Zhonghui’s expression from the corner of her eyes.

Zhou Qi nodded, her eyes somewhat vacant.

“Did big brother say when he’s coming back?” She asked again.

“He’s not coming back.” Zhou Qi’s face turned even more unsightly as she said this.

Jian Qing ruined their New Year, Aman was in jail, Azhe didn’t come back, their An Family was about to fall apart because of her.

Off to the side, An Zhonghui’s face turned even more somber. His imposing aura made it even harder for others to speak out of turn.

He slammed the table and stood up, exclaiming, “If he’s not coming back, then don’t bother to call him anymore!”

For the sake of a woman, he had completely severed ties with his family, not even returning for the New Year. An Zhonghui didn’t need such a son.

After speaking, he flung his sleeve and left. Zhou Qi lowered her head and wiped the corners of her watery eyes.

There was commotion downstairs, and it was also lively upstairs.

Yang Xiang stood there, a look of unease on her face, not daring to meet the eyes of the person opposite her.

“Sister, let me explain.”

Her voice was very small, completely devoid of her usual brazen energy.

Yang Lin tightly clutched a medical report in her hand, her gaze full of disappointment as she looked at Yang Xiang.

“Xiangxiang, is pregnancy a thing to be joked about? Do you know if the news of your pregnancy before marriage is exposed, you’d be done for.”

As a public figure, such a scandal would not only damage her reputation, but also affect their Yang Family.

Had it not been for her accidentally knocking over her bag and finding this medical report, she wondered how long she intended to keep this a secret.

Yang Xiang lowered her head, not daring to answer timidly.

She had been in a hurry to attend an awards ceremony after leaving the hospital that day and forgot to destroy the medical report. How could she have expected it to be discovered now?

“Tell me the truth, is the child Zhou Yi’s?” Yang Lin demanded.

Her lips tightened, a flicker of panic in her eyes.

“I…”

As sisters, Yang Lin knew her all too well, and had a bad feeling deep down.

Could it be….

She clenched the medical report in her hand and lowered her voice, “Don’t you dare tell me the child isn’t Zhou Yi’s.”

If the child was Zhou Yi’s, the situation could still be salvaged. They could bring forward the union of the two families. If the child wasn’t Zhou Yi’s and the Zhou Family found out, they would certainly fall out with the Yang Family.

Which aristocratic family could tolerate a daughter-in-law careless in affairs?

“Sis, I…I just made a mistake that night when I was drunk. Can you help me keep it a secret? Mom and Dad will kill me if they find out.” Yang Xiang grabbed her hand and pleaded.

Just as she thought.

Yang Lin looked at her in disbelief, disappointed, “Xiangxiang, you’ve been too reckless. Have you forgotten that you are soon to be engaged to Zhou Yi? How could you have messed around outside? If the Zhou Family found out, this marriage would definitely be off.”

More importantly, their Yang Group was currently facing financial difficulties. If they lost the strong support of the Zhou Family, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Sis, I realize it’s my fault. I was foolish. None of this can be known to Zhou Yi. I can’t lose him.” Yang Xiang gripped her hand tightly, her voice shaking.

Yang Lin looked at her and asked coldly, “Who is the child’s father?”

“I…I don’t know.” Yang Xiang bit the bullet and confessed.

That night when she got drunk at the banquet, many unexpected things happened. She was so scared that she didn’t consider checking who the father could be.

“What, you don’t know who the father of your child is?” Yang Lin looked at her with shock in her eyes, her voice rising.

“You don’t even know who the child’s father is, Yang Xiang, what are you doing.”

“Sis, I know it’s all my fault. I’ve gotten rid of the child. As long as you don’t tell anyone, no one will know. Zhou Yi won’t have any idea about it. You will help me keep it a secret, right?” Yang Xiang pleaded in a fluster.

“Are you sure no one else knows about this?” Yang Lin confirmed, holding her by the shoulder.

Yang Xiang nodded, but she thought of the incident when she accidentally bumped into Xiya and Jian Qing at the hospital. They surely wouldn’t know about it, would they?

Seeing her nod, Yang Lin finally relaxed a bit.

She quickly tore up the medical report in her hand, crumpled it into a ball and stuffed it into the rubbish bin, then pulled Yang Xiang over with a stern face.

“Xiangxiang, let me tell you, now that you’ve gotten rid of the baby, just act as if this never happened. What you should do now is get married to Zhou Yi as fast as you can, to avoid further complications.”

“But, if I marry him, what about my acting career?” Yang Xiang hesitated. She had finally made a name for herself in the entertainment industry and didn’t want to quit when she was in her prime.
