Mr. Bigshot Is Obsessed with His Hidden-Marriage Wife
Chapter 193: Realizing the Child is His

Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Realizing the Child is His

Fu Xingzhou had never intended to get any answers out of her mouth.

When he asked her whose child it was, all she had to do was firmly insist that it was Chai Chen’s, but she didn’t.

Because she was always on guard, coupled with the guilt in her heart, she fell into his trap.

Staying silent was the real answer.

Her words were clearly evading the real answer.

Fu Xingzhou, having been a lawyer, was best at observing and detecting the nuances in people’s words, finding loopholes in their statements.

Her reaction today amounted to an indirect confession that the child actually had nothing to do with Chai Chen.

Meng Tian stomped her foot in frustration, cursing Fu Xingzhou up and down as she dialed Ye Yan’s phone.

"Ah Yan, I made a mistake, Fu Xingzhou might have guessed the child is his," Meng Tian sobbed twice, "That damn man is too cunning."

After a moment of panic, Ye Yan quickly calmed down.

She and Chai Chen were merely ordinary friends now, and if Fu Xingzhou investigated, he would definitely find out.

What can be hidden for a moment cannot be hidden forever.

Ye Yan remained anxious all afternoon, fearing that Fu Xingzhou might suddenly show up.

However, the day passed peacefully, and Fu Xingzhou didn’t appear.

It wasn’t until Meng Tian sent her a screenshot of a message that night.

It turns out Fu Xingzhou had returned to Hong Kong to attend a foundation-laying ceremony.

After the cocktail party, Fu Xingzhou went directly to the jewelry store.

The store manager personally handed him a pair of wedding rings. "Mrs. Fu didn’t come with you? Are you planning to give her a surprise?"

Fu Xingzhou opened the exquisite jewelry box, and a pair of diamond rings were laid side by side, the female one was even more dazzling, and the male one, although simpler, was also very unique.

"Hmm, give her a surprise," Fu Xingzhou closed the lid, "Do you have jewelry for children here?"

"For a child, how old?"

"Not born yet."

The manager understood, "First of all, congratulations to Mr. Fu."

He took out a catalog, "These are the latest styles of longevity locks, very suitable for a baby’s full-month celebration."

Fu Xingzhou took it, flipping through page after page.

He had never paid attention to these things before, and only now did he realize that children’s jewelry could also be made so exquisitely and elegantly.

"Mr. Fu can choose a longevity lock, a pair of bracelets, and anklets," the manager enthusiastically introduced, "This longevity lock is from the same designer as your wedding ring, unique in the country."

"Good, I’ll take this set," Fu Xingzhou quickly settled on the design.

When he left the jewelry store, he slipped the male wedding ring onto his ring finger.

Opening his palm, the ring sparkled between his long slender fingers.

Aside from a watch, his attire rarely included any other decorations.

Suddenly wearing a ring, it still felt a bit strange.

But once it was on, he never thought about taking it off.

As for the other one...

Fu Xingzhou carefully put away the box.

His gaze fell on the hanging ornament in front of the car.

That was originally a gift from Ye Yan to Meng Tian, but he had "snatched it by force."

Since hanging it in front of the windshield, it had never been taken down.

And Mr. Fu, who usually changed cars every month, hadn’t changed cars for a long time, even the driver was a bit unaccustomed.

Since when did Mr. Fu start to become sentimental?

"Sir, where to next?"

Fu Xingzhou twirled the ring on his finger, "Back to Ao City."

Ye Yan played with Sijiu for a while before she opened her computer to prepare for work.

After Sijiu moved to the new house, it became especially dependent on her. When she was working, it would jump onto her lap and sleep soundly, completely oblivious to whether it might disturb its owner.

At night when she turned off the lights and went to bed, it would also sleep by her pillow side.

Fortunately, Sijiu had a rather elegant sleeping posture and didn’t snore, so the two of them got along harmoniously.

Just as Ye Yan opened the needed file, Sijiu suddenly meowed and sat up from her lap.

"Sijiu, what’s wrong?" Ye Yan gently stroked its fur.

Sijiu swiftly jumped off Ye Yan’s lap and ran towards the door.

Ye Yan had seen this behavior before. When Fu Xingzhou came home previously, Sijiu would wait by the door like this.

It was sensitive to Fu Xingzhou’s voice and scent, able to sense his footsteps from afar.

Just as Ye Yan was wondering, someone knocked on the door.

She walked over and, looking through the door viewer, was surprised.

Sijiu’s behavior wasn’t just her imagination, the person standing outside was indeed Fu Xingzhou.

She hesitated about whether to open the door and then heard a familiar voice, "Ye Yan, it’s Fu Xingzhou, I need to talk to you."

"Can’t you say it over the phone?" Ye Yan, standing at the door, watched his movements through the viewer.

Fu Xingzhou, as if he knew she was watching, said, "Please open the door."

Sijiu meowed and scratched at Ye Yan’s legs, as if pleading on behalf of its master.

Ye Yan, feeling helpless, could only open the door.

Fu Xingzhou stood tall at the entrance, blocking a large swath of light.

"Come in, don’t let the mosquitoes in."

Ye Yan turned and went inside first.

Fu Xingzhou was pleasantly surprised, having thought it would take some effort to get her to open the door.

Turning to see Sijiu, who was eagerly looking at him, its paws reached straight for his legs.

Fu Xingzhou bent down, picked up Sijiu, and closed the door behind him.

Sijiu was delighted, nestled in Fu Xingzhou’s arms and meowing.

"What is it? Speak," Ye Yan said, indicating no intention of inviting him to sit, as if ready to send him off the next second.

It had been a long time since Fu Xingzhou had visited her small apartment.

Everything was still familiar—the arrangement, the smell.

"Do you have any water?"

Ye Yan didn’t respond but turned to the kitchen to get a glass of water. When she returned, she found Fu Xingzhou nonchalantly sitting on the sofa playing with Sijiu.

She unhappily placed the glass on the coffee table with a loud clank.

Fu Xingzhou said thank you.

"What is it?" Ye Yan was a bit impatient.

She didn’t want to share such a small space with him, making her feel extremely uneasy and cramped.

"Since you’re pregnant, why not move back to Yuqiao? I can find someone to take care of you."

"I can take care of myself, and besides, this is my business, nothing to do with Mr. Fu."

"The child is mine, you think it has nothing to do with me?"

Ye Yan was initially shocked, then regained her composure, "What are you talking about, Mr. Fu? This child is my boyfriend’s. What does it have to do with you?"

"Boyfriend? You mean that Chai Chen?" Fu Xingzhou scoffed, "Ye Yan, you think I wouldn’t check?"

"You checked on me? What right do you have to check on me?" Ye Yan suddenly burst in anger.

She was good-natured, but her temperament while pregnant was difficult to gauge.

Usually, she would never get angry over such a remark.

"Don’t be angry." Fu Xingzhou didn’t expect such a strong reaction, "Anger isn’t good for the baby."

Ye Yan turned away, ignoring him.

"It wasn’t intentional to check on you, but this matter concerns me, I had to check." Fu Xingzhou put Sijiu aside, stood up, and walked over to Ye Yan, "Yanyan, you still care about me. I’m sorry, otherwise, you definitely wouldn’t want this child."
