Chapter 495: Chapter 493 Calm Down Please_1

If Tao Tao were someone insignificant, it wouldn’t matter, but now she’s his granddaughter-in-law. Although her status isn’t as high as Xia Ningxing’s, he would never let anyone who bullied her get away with it.

Lu Fan mentioned the name "Yuncheng."

The next day, Xia Ningxing and the others heard that Yuncheng had been arrested and sentenced to life in prison.

Considering the image of a superstar, the matter was handled discreetly and did not alarm the media; only a few people like Xia Ningxing knew about it.

Tao Tao was furious: "I can’t believe I treated her like a best friend and even had her as my bridesmaid at my wedding, only to have her do such a despicable thing to me!"

She trembled, her hands clenched into fists.

The thought of Yuncheng visiting her in the hospital with such fake concern made Tao Tao feel sick to her stomach.

How could there be such shameless and utterly heartless people in this world!

"Don’t be angry, getting upset over such a person is not worth it. Remember to be more discerning when choosing friends in the future," Xia Ningxing comforted, patting her shoulder.

The others also joined in to console her:

"Yeah, calm down. You’re the bride tomorrow, and it won’t do to get angry and look bad."

"Right, a bride needs to be happy to be beautiful. Getting angry will only cause wrinkles!"

"I can’t afford to get ugly from anger," Tao Tao quickly took a deep breath, trying to contain her anger as much as possible.

"That’s more like it!" everyone laughed in unison.

"Taozi, try to get some sleep early. As the bride, you will need to wake up early tomorrow to get ready," Xia Ningxing reminded her.

Although she had never been married herself, her experience as a bridesmaid several times meant she was well-versed in the procedures of a wedding.

Before leaving, Xia Ningxing gave her a hug, "Taozi, I wish you and Lu Fan a lifetime of happiness, always in love and united."

Her blessings were heartfelt.

"Thank you, Xiaxia," Tao Tao said with a tinge of red in her eyes.

Without her own family, Xia Ningxing was like her only kin.

The blessings from her kin were enough to touch her heart deeply.

"Good night," Xia Ningxing touched her soft hair.

"Good night."

The next day, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the wedding went smoothly.

By some coincidence, Xia Ningxing caught the bridal bouquet again.

Xia Ningxing looked at the bouquet in her hands and a smile formed on her lips as she thought of something.

In just a few days, it would be her 20th birthday.

She could register her marriage with the boss!

While Xia Ningxing was happily lost in thought, she heard a cry of alarm not far away.

"Taozi, what’s wrong with you?"

"Yeah, why did you start throwing up all of a sudden?"

It turned out that Tao Tao had somehow started vomiting.

A crowd of friends and relatives was now surrounding her, offering their concern and warmth.

Knowing that she couldn’t conceive and that Lu Fan had his issues, no one considered the possibility of pregnancy; they assumed she had eaten something bad.

"Let me take a look," Xia Ningxing said, concerned as she walked over.

"Xingxing, quickly check her out," everyone urged.

Xia Ningxing took her pulse.

During this time, Tao Tao’s heart was racing, fearing she might have contracted some serious illness.

Today was supposed to be the happiest day of her life; she couldn’t afford to have anything go wrong.

Lu Fan stood by her side, holding her other sweat-drenched hand: "Don’t worry, no matter what happens, I will be with you every step of the way."

"Really?" Hearing this, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows and withdrew her finger from taking the pulse.

"Of course!"

Lu Fan nodded, his gaze firm.

"What if her condition is very serious?" Xia Ningxing asked again.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan nodded solemnly again, his tone leaving no room for doubt: "Even if it’s serious, I will never give up on her."

Tao Tao’s legs went weak: "Xiaxia, just tell me what illness I have!"

Xia Ningxing turned her face toward her, a slight curve appearing on her lips, before she pronounced each word clearly and deliberately, "Congratulations... you’re pregnant!"

"What, what did you say?" Tao Tao’s pupils dilated in shock, and she stared at her in disbelief.

Pregnant?

She was actually pregnant?

How is that possible?

But Xiaxia was not someone who would speak recklessly, so?

She must have misheard!

Yes!

That must be it!

The other members of the Lu Family were also astonished.

Aunt Lu swallowed hard and couldn’t help but tentatively seek confirmation, "Xingxing, you, you didn’t make a mistake, did you?"

One couldn’t conceive, the other couldn’t nurture, how did they suddenly have a child?

Xia Ningxing said with certainty, "Taozi is indeed pregnant."

"I previously substituted a new medication for treating infertility for Taozi, and it appears that this time the medicine was effective."

"I, I, I’m really pregnant?" This time, Tao Tao was certain she hadn’t misheard.

She quickly lowered her head, and placed her hand covered in a white glove on her lower abdomen, smiling until tears began to fall.

She had thought that she would never be able to bear a child for Lu Fan for her entire life.

But unexpectedly, she was pregnant!

Pregnant!

It must have been the night of their marriage registration, when it happened.

Pregnancy might be a good thing for others, but for the Lu Family...

"Isn’t Lu Fan infertile?"

So whose child is this?

For a moment, the people of the Lu Family fell silent, their eyes shifting back and forth between Tao Tao and Lu Fan.

"I..." Just as Tao Tao was about to explain, Lu Fan had already embraced her in his arms, preempting her by saying,

"It’s like this, my psychological issues were resolved after my marriage registration with Taozi, but I was just too embarrassed to tell everyone." Lu Fan touched his nose, forcibly covering his own lie.

"..."

So that’s how it was.

However, the old master frowned, his penetrating gaze fixed on Lu Fan, suspecting, "You wouldn’t be faking your illness, would you, boy!"

Lu Fan gulped, quickly denying, "I was not!"

"Still lying!" How could the old master not see through his guilty conscience? He became so angry that he removed his shoe and threw it at him.

Lu Fan swiftly dodged, looking both embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"You tell me, just how did you manage to fool the medical equipment?" the old master couldn’t help but ask.

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing immediately shrank her shoulders, silently trying to make herself less noticeable.

It was over, her perfect image was about to be ruined.

Lu Fan subconsciously glanced at Xia Ningxing.

The old master slapped his thigh in realization, "You must have threatened Xingxing, didn’t you, you scoundrel! I’ll teach you a lesson!"

Lu Fan: "!!"

It was unjust, he really hadn’t threatened her.

He had pleaded earnestly!

"Grandfather, please calm down!" Xia Ningxing, fearing the old master might hurt his back, quickly stepped forward to intervene.

With Xia Ningxing playing peacemaker, the old master’s anger subsided somewhat.

"Grandfather, Mom, Dad, I’m sorry."

Tao Tao bowed deeply to the three elders to apologize.

Lu Fan also hurriedly bowed, "This was all my bad idea, it has nothing to do with Taozi or my younger siblings, if you have any anger, let it out on me, but I will never divorce Taozi."

His tone was resolute.
