Upon entering the car, Song Fan immediately informed Gu Chen, “My bicycle is still parked at the entrance of Phoenix Restaurant. Please arrange to have someone return it to me. I need to ride it to work tomorrow.”

Gu Chen responded, “Is that all you have to say when you see me, Miss Song?”

Song Fan turned to him and inquired, “Then, what would you like me to say?”

She was aware that Gu Chen would likely ask about her supposed pregnancy, but she had only misled Director Zhang. She couldn’t control what conclusions he might draw in the future.

Whether he believed her or not was beyond her control.

Gu Chen also understood the fact but still pressed, “Why didn’t you deny it just now?”

Song Fan replied matter-of-factly, “You’re right. I didn’t come with you. And I agreed to your offer for a ride home.”

“You know what I want to ask. I don’t intend to dwell on the past. I just want to know what you initially told Gu Hai. How can he genuinely believe you were pregnant?” Gu Chen opted for straightforwardness.

Song Fan was well aware that her action caused consequences for the Gu Corporation. Thus, she admitted the truth, saying, “I haven’t seen Gu Hai since the banquet. It was when I visited the hospital that I encountered Director Zhang, who was approaching my godmother. I had a hunch that his intentions weren’t simple, so I played along with his insinuations and even used some expressions.”

She sat upright, rested her hand on her abdomen, and cast an ambiguous glance at Gu Chen, conveying her intended message.

Gu Chen chuckled. “Is that what you told him?”

“He inquired if something wonderful was on the horizon. I didn’t feel like explaining extensively, so I naturally followed his lead and spouted nonsense,” Song Fan explained, spreading her hands.

She didn’t perceive her actions as wrongdoing. No one with common sense would take her words seriously, yet Director Zhang had reacted as though he had been struck by lightning. It was as if he considered it normal for a young woman to casually claim pregnancy in front of a stranger.

From the very beginning, they seemed determined to believe it, without even considering evidence.

Gu Chen naturally grasped this point. It was precisely why he had unabashedly employed this falsehood. They had concocted this lie themselves, and they should bear the consequences.

Yet, he found himself growing increasingly curious about Song Fan. Her approach to matters was strikingly candid. She seemed utterly unconcerned about others’ perceptions, and her carefree demeanor didn’t quite match her age.

She had saved him during their first encounter. She even dared to directly use a gun to kill people. Gu Chen was genuinely intrigued by her past experiences.

Confronted by Gu Chen’s probing gaze, Song Fan feigned ignorance. She lacked the patience to provide explanations to others.

After observing her for a moment, Gu Chen inquired, “Qi Shuo was standing beside you earlier. He’s a lawyer. Are you planning to file a lawsuit?” It was only then that Song Fan turned to look at him. “You know each other?” “We’ve known each other since childhood,” Gu Chen responded.

At this point, Song Fan regretted asking Duan Feng to find her a lawyer. Why did he find Gu Chen’s friend? No wonder Qi Shuo had appeared so uneasy earlier.

She sneered and remarked, “There is indeed a lawsuit to pursue. Your friend asked me a lot of questions earlier. He’s well aware that the pregnancy rumors are baseless.”

Gu Chen shook his head and commented, “He saw me offering you a ride home just now. I think he’ll have plenty to ponder once he returns.” “Your friend is different from you,” Song Fan noted.

Gu Chen raised his eyebrow and asked, “How is it different?”

Song Fan moved closer, locking eyes with Gu Chen, and remarked, “You’re much more clever than your friend.”

After saying this, the car stopped. Song Fan knew that she had already reached home and immediately opened the door and got out of the car, leaving Gu Chen in the car in the same position.

Su Yang had been sitting up front and had just stepped out of the car to open the door for Song Fan. He now turned to his young master and inquired, “Young master, is something bothering you?”

Gu Chen continued to gaze at Song Fan’s retreating figure. Slowly, a smile crept onto his lips. “Song Fan is truly intriguing.”

If Su Yang hadn’t been at Gu Chen’s side daily, he might have believed the rumors were true. The few times Young Master had smiled were all because of Miss Song. Even Young Master Xu and the others had only witnessed his smile on rare occasions.

Unbeknownst to Su Yang, the MD building was currently buzzing with activity.

Qi Shuo recounted his encounter with Song Fan earlier in the day, as well as Gu Chen’s act of offering her a ride home.

“You guys have no idea how Gu Chen forgets his friends when he’s around women. I just stood there, and he left with Song Fan without even saying goodbye,” Qi Shuo vented, visibly frustrated…
