“Fan Jie? What’s wrong?”

Qiao Lian had intended to talk about what had happened at the news agency. However, as soon as Shen Liangchuan finished the sentence, his phone started ringing. Hence, she had no option but to shut her mouth for now.

Meanwhile, Shen Liangchuan put the call through with a bluetooth earpiece. Fan Jie’s voice could be heard from the other end, “Brother Shen, Brother Shen, hurry up, thank me!”

Shen Liangchuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Qiao Lian.

A moment ago, Qiao Lian had still been talking about how Fan Jie had made her end work late, and now Fan Jie was calling him.

He said indifferently, “Why?”

“It’s because of the exclusive interview regarding my new album! So many news agencies came to look for me, but I rejected all of them and then accepted G8ssip News’ invitation! Don’t you think I’m very loyal? Don’t I treat sister-in-law really well? So, how are you going to repay me?”

It suddenly dawned on Shen Liangchuan.

Qiao Lian had had to work overtime until late at night today because Fan Jie had made an appointment with them for an exclusive interview, and she had had to prepare for it?

“Brother Shen, you know me. All along, when I do good, I want to be recognized! So, I’m just letting you know. As for your gratitude, you must remember this favor and repay me in the future, although it was nothing difficult for me! Oh, right, don’t worry. Even though I asked for sister-in-law to interview me, I will maintain a safe distance with her. After all, if sister-in-law were to fall for such a fine man like me, that would be terrible. I can also help you ask around the news agency to see if anyone there has ulterior motives for sister-in-law! You don’t have to feel so touched by this, hehe. That’s all, bye bye~”

He hung up right after saying all he wanted to say in one go.

Shen Liangchuan: …

Fixing his gaze ahead, Shen Liangchuan’s eyes showed a tinge of resignation.

Fan Jie was a clueless chatterbox. In addition, his confidence was sky-high, as he believed that every single woman on earth would like him.

The phone call had interrupted their conversation just now. Since Shen Liangchuan did not pursue it any further, Qiao Lian could only stay silent.

They both reached the villa rather quickly.

After the car was parked, Qiao Lian and Shen Liangchuan got out of it and walked towards the living room, where they found Xia Yehua and Song Yuanxi sitting on the living room sofa.

As soon as Xia Yehua saw the both of them, a smile spread across her face. “Why did you arrive home so late?”

Qiao Lian wanted to say something, but Shen Liangchuan was one step ahead her. “Working overtime.”

Instantly, Xia Yehua started nagging, “Work is important, but your health is more important. Don’t you understand such a simple idea?”

Qiao Lian wanted to explain, but once again, before she even got a chance to speak, Shen Liangchuan asked, “Why did both of you come over?”

This question changed the subject.

Xia Yehua looked at Qiao Lian. “Er, I’m just here to take a look… you have already been married for a month, haven’t you? I was worried, so I came over to take a look. I did the math, and I’m just scared that neither of you would even realize if Xiao Qiao was pregnant. After all, you are all still young. If both of you don’t control yourselves—”

Her words caused Qiao Lian’s face to turn completely red. As she looked at Xia Yehua awkwardly, she suddenly felt a little guilty and said, “Mom, my- my ‘Aunt Flo’ is here.”

The only reason for their marriage was for her to bear his child.

However, after the first month, she was still not pregnant.

It was not an unusual matter, but in this very moment, she felt miserable.

Moreover, would Xia Yehua have complaints about her?

Just when this thought popped up in her mind, Xia Yehua widened her eyes. “Huh? You’re not pregnant?”

She patted Qiao Lian’s shoulder. “It’s okay.”

However, she turned and yelled at Shen Liangchuan, “Why are you so incapable!?”

Shen Liangchuan said “… Are you sure you are my biological mother?”
