Chapter 416: Confirmation (1)

Han Yichen and An Yue only focused on each other while the rest were attracted to Nie Yunfan. As such, not many people noticed the brief exchange between Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng.

However, even though the people around Zhao Youlin had not noticed them, it did not mean that the rest had not realized either.

Just when Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group were paying attention to Han Yichen and An Yue, a figure had quietly walked inside the dessert outlet and sat at a corner that was hardly visible yet able to hear Zhao Youlin’s conversations.

Ye Yan had overheard Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s conversations. He also saw Mu Tingfeng wrap his arm around Zhao Youlin’s waist with a strong sense of possessiveness.

On top of that, Zhao Youlin did not refuse Mu Tingfeng from touching her like she used to before. It looked like she had compromised with him.

Ye Yan felt like his eyes had been stung. A trace of resentment and depression abruptly sprouted in his heart.

‘Only the feeling of… resentment and depression?’ Ye Yan seemed like he suddenly thought of something. He slowly stretched out his hand and touched the area on his left chest.

Apart from resentment and grievance, he actually had not felt much pain.

Realizing this, Ye Yan subconsciously furrowed his eyebrows. When he recalled being rejected by Zhao Youlin in the past as well as learning that she and Mu Tingfeng were getting back together, all sorts of emotions swelled in his heart. Although there was once or twice when he felt very sad, he actually felt more keenly on the sense of loss and frustration that derived from the violation of his self-esteem. At the same time, he was also unaware of the subconscious development of resentment and stubbornness in him.

Perhaps… Perhaps he did not like Zhao Youlin as much as he had thought. He was attracted to Zhao Youlin in the beginning and she piqued his interest. Later, he had somehow been bewitched and desperately wanted to gain Zhao Youlin’s approval even if it had to cost him his life.

As he recalled it, he and Zhao Youlin actually did not have much interaction. So, why did he care so much about Zhao Youlin’s opinion of himself? He had even gone the extra mile of pestering her and finding various ways to please her.

Even if he was interested in Zhao Youlin in the beginning, the interest should have faded after so long. If so, what kind of obsession had kept him so stubborn even today? Besides, if the person that he liked was not Zhao Youlin, who else could the person be?

Thinking of this, a blurred figure suddenly flashed across Ye Yan’s mind. His expression instantly turned strange.

The warm touch, the blurred figure as well as the incredibly familiar scent that night…

Ye Yan had figured out various ways and sent numerous people to conduct an investigation from the shadows. Yet, he still could not find out the person whom he had spent the night with.

If not for the people from the bar of the hotel confirming to him that the person who sent him back to the hotel room that day was indeed a girl, Ye Yan would have thought that he had a wet dream out of his own imagination due to prolonged emptiness and loneliness.

Who exactly was that person?! Ye Yan narrowed his eyes dangerously. He unwittingly clenched his hands and the next moment, he relaxed his clenched fist. While Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group had yet to notice him, he quietly sneaked away.

At the same time, on the other side of the Shalnork, the main culprit, whom Ye Yan had gone through lots of trouble and tortures to uncover, had just walked out of the hospital in a daze and sat in her car. She was holding a test sheet which she had taken out of the hospital.

Su He stared blankly at the test sheet in her hand. She stayed silent for some time before she cautiously stretched out her hand and touched the picture of a small black mess that was about the size of a silkworm chrysalis on the ultrasound test sheet. Doctor’s words with a hint of a smile still echoed in his ears.

“Congratulations, Ms. Su! You have been pregnant for more than two months. The baby is gradually taking shape. The reason why you lose your appetite and had nausea recently is because of your pregnancy. With your physique, your pregnancy vomiting would become more obvious in the next period of time. These are normal phenomena. You don’t have to worry too much. Pay attention to your diet in your normal days and eat less…”

The doctor had also said something else. But, Su He already could not remember clearly her remaining words. The moment the doctor stated that her recent nausea was not due to a gastrointestinal problem and was instead a typical pregnancy vomiting, her mind had completely gone blank.

‘I-I-I’m… pregnant?!’ Su He was very terrified. She caressed her still flat belly that was carrying a child inside, the child that belonged to her and that man!

At that moment, Su He really did not know if she should laugh or cry. She was really pregnant and it happened within a night…

Just when she decided to give up on that man, she was now pregnant with his child! Su He reached out to cover her eyes and let out a bark of laughter.

While she was laughing, gradually there was a hint of sobs in her voice. In the end, she could no longer hold herself back. She covered her mouth and burst into tears.

Tears streamed down over her face and dropped on the back of her hand and it spread. It was the same tears of catharsis the day when she was pinned down by that man.

What should she do now? What should she do now?!

With Zhao Youlin as the messenger, it did not take long for Han Yichen’s marriage proposal to An Yue to reach Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong’s ears.

Generally speaking, they were supposed to consult their parents’ opinions first before discussing the follow-up issues for big events like marriage.

Yet, her family’s situation was a bit special. Han Yichen was a guy who was cold on the outside, but passionate on the inside. He appeared ordinary. But, when he did something, he caught everyone by surprise. The moment he courted a girl, he went straight to a marriage proposal. He skipped dating and even reversed the step of meeting the parents after his marriage proposal. As such, Zhao Youlin was incredibly embarrassed.

When Zhao Youlin told Duan Yarong, Zhao Shunrong, and the former master about this, she was a bit worried that the three would be unhappy because Han Yichen had made the decision by himself without seeking their approval pertaining to the marriage matter.

To her surprise, after they heard her words, they locked gazes with each other before Duan Yarong and the former master let out a bark of laughter. Zhao Shunrong, on the other hand, even though he did not smile, the hint of embarrassment and helplessness obviously appeared in his eyes.

Zhao Youlin was puzzled. She cast a glance at the three and asked, “Mother, Grandpa, what are you laughing about?”

Duan Yarong looked up at Zhao Youlin. The next moment, she moved her gaze to Zhao Shunrong. She seemed to recall something before she burst into laughter again.

It had not been easy for her to finally be able to school her face before she said with a tone that carried the hint of nostalgia and mockery, “Grandpa and I are laughing at the fact that Chen is exactly like father, like son. He not only looks like your father, but he also has the same temperament as when I first met your father back then. Hahaha…!”
