Zhao Xiaoqin glared at Xu Zhuo in disgust, "Are you kidding? From the tone of your voice and the way you grit your teeth, it doesn't sound like you're joking at all."

Xu Zhuo tried hard to clear himself, "Xiaoqin, I was really joking. That woman must have no good intentions when she came to you. I just wanted to get rid of her quickly, so... I just said that casually. Don't take it to heart..."

"Look at my stinky mouth, I really deserve a slap..."

Xu Zhuo smiled apologetically and immediately pretended to slap himself twice in the face.

Zhao Xiaoqin stopped him coldly, "Okay, stop acting, I have something serious to discuss with you."

Xu Zhuo stopped and asked in a flattering tone, "What is it? Xiaoqin."

Zhao Xiaoqin took a few steps forward, picked up a stool and sat in front of Xu Zhuo's bed.

She reached out and held Xu Zhuo's hand, and said gently, "Honey, what do you think about what I told you?"

Before this, Zhao Xiaoqin seldom called him like this. He had asked her many times, but Zhao Xiaoqin was always too shy to say it. Now that she suddenly called him husband, he became alert.

Xu Zhuo pretended to be clueless and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Xiaoqin pouted in dissatisfaction and said in a coquettish voice, "Hubby, you really don't take my words to heart..."

"I... really don't know what you are talking about..." Xu Zhuo continued to pretend to be confused even though he knew the truth.

"Hubby, yesterday I told my mother that I would buy her a house. She was so happy. I also told her that we would get married in the future. I praised you for being so good to me. She was so excited that she shed tears. She choked up and said that I finally had a good home. When you feel better in a few days, I will take you to meet my mother. She really wants to see you."

Xu Zhuo moved his mouth a few times, and before he could say anything, Zhao Xiaoqin leaned her head against his chest, looking like a little bird, and spoke shyly:

"Honey, I'm going to be a mother..."

The next second, Xu Zhuo opened his mouth in astonishment...

These words uttered by Zhao Xiaoqin were undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Xu Zhuo!

Zhao Xiaoqin raised her eyes, her eyes full of spring water, "Honey, is this a surprise?"

surprise?

Xu Zhuo didn't come back to his senses for a long time...

It’s not a surprise, but it’s definitely a shock!

Xu Zhuo asked anxiously, "Xiaoqin, are you sure you didn't lie to me?"

Zhao Xiaoqin frowned and pouted even more. "Do you think I'm in the mood to joke with you like this? My period was supposed to come last week, but it's been a week late and I'm not sure if I'm pregnant. So I secretly bought a pregnancy test strip at the pharmacy outside the hospital, and I found out I'm really pregnant."

When Zhao Xiaoqin said this, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Xu Zhuo listened silently, sweat already starting to form on his forehead...

At present, he is still confused about the current situation. He doesn’t know whether Zhao Xiaoqin is really pregnant or is fooling him.

But it is possible that he did not take any safety measures every time in order to pursue temporary happiness...

"Xiaoqin, is there something wrong with the test results?"

Zhao Xiaoqin said calmly, "It's highly likely that I'm right. I've calculated my life. I plan to take some time out in the next two days to get a formal checkup at the hospital."

Xu Zhuo's heart skipped a beat!

"Oh."

Zhao Xiaoqin complained, "Hubby, why do I feel like you're not happy at all?"

Xu Zhuo forced a smile and stammered, "No... I'm quite happy..."

Then he said with an embarrassed look, "Xiaoqin, you know, I'm not divorced yet, so we can't have this child for the time being..."

Zhao Xiaoqin's smile froze on her face. "Xu Zhuo, what do you mean?"

Xu Zhuo's tone softened immediately, "Xiaoqin, don't be angry, I will definitely marry you, but... you have to give me some time."

Zhao Xiaoqin had already prepared herself mentally, "I understand. I'll wait for you."

Then she said in a strong tone:

"Hubby, I must give birth to this child. I have not been feeling well since the abortion. The doctor later told me that I may never get pregnant again. I am lucky to be pregnant this time. Please don't have any bad ideas to get me to do it. If I do it this time, I will definitely not be able to get pregnant in the future..."

Xu Zhuo suddenly felt like he had lost all the air. He felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and the stuffy feeling caused a dull pain in his waist.

Zhao Xiaoqin was secretly happy when she saw Xu Zhuo remained silent, but she remained calm and said:

"Honey, I have a classmate who sells houses at a real estate company. She said she has a few good houses in stock, and the price per square meter is more than a thousand yuan cheaper than the market price. We are going to have a baby soon. You will definitely not let our child live in a dirty and messy rental house as soon as it is born, right?"

Xu Zhuo was upset...

"Xiaoqin, can you wait a while before buying a house?"

Zhao Xiaoqin said angrily, "If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it. She said that we have to pay the down payment in these few days, otherwise she will sell it to someone else at a high price. These houses are very popular and there is no problem selling them. We can save hundreds of thousands of yuan if we buy now."

“How much is the down payment?”

Zhao Xiaoqin couldn't wait to say, "Not expensive, one hundred thousand yuan."

Xu Zhuo frowned, "How can I have so much money?"

Zhao Xiaoqin immediately said, "Well, I'll call my friend and ask if I can get a lower price."

Without waiting for Xu Zhuo to speak, Zhao Xiaoqin took out her cell phone and called her friend immediately. After hanging up, she seemed very excited:

"My friend said she could find a way, but she wants a bribe of 5,000 yuan. I've thought about it, and I'll put your name on the list of the owner of the house. Oh, and give me your ID card, and I'll give it to my friend to process it right away."

Xu Zhuo immediately became alert and asked, "Why do you want my ID? I'll go with you in a few days when I'm better."

Zhao Xiaoqin immediately frowned, "I've already said that we're going to do it right now. I'm pregnant with your child now, and you're still on guard against me? You keep saying that you love me and want to give me a good life, but you've been lying to me, right?"

"No...Xiaoqin, please listen to my explanation..."

"Why listen to your explanation? Why did I follow you? I can't even afford a decent house. How did you trick me into bed? You said you were worth hundreds of millions, and now that you've played me, you want to kick me out, right?"

As she spoke, Zhao Xiaoqin began to sob softly.

Xu Zhuo was in a bad mood. "Okay, I'll give it to you, isn't that enough? Stop crying."

In this way, Zhao Xiaoqin successfully obtained Xu Zhuo's ID card.

Later, she found her friend and met a man through her friend's introduction...

hotel.

Sun Xue received an unfamiliar phone call from a landline number, and the location showed as Kyoto City.

After answering the phone, Sun Xue asked politely, "Hello, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, is this Ms. Sun Xue?"

"Yes."

The other party introduced himself, "Hello Ms. Sun, we are staff members of the Kyoto Public Security Bureau. You should know Wu Zechen, right?"

"We know each other, what's wrong?"

"He is suspected of a major economic crime and has been missing for several days. We would like to trouble you to cooperate with our investigation. Which city are you in now?"

"I'm in Long City."

"Okay, we will fly to Long City at noon tomorrow to do some investigation and evidence collection work on Wu Zechen's case."

After hanging up the phone, Sun Xue couldn't help but worry, "Are the people from the Public Security Bureau here to collect debts?"
