I have ten trillion licking dog gold

"Sis, why don't you take a break first? Let me show you."

Li Shurui was disliked.

Jiang Chen held his phone, staring at the giant screen, his gaze unfocused.

He didn't think of any melodramatic Korean dramas like "Autumn in My Heart," but he thought of a person.

—Ai Qian.

Leukemia, a terminal illness, may seem very far removed from one's life at first glance, but when it comes knocking on the door, one may find that it has been lurking nearby all along.

"call--"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and silently recited the incantation in his mind.

The Three Pure Ones protect me, and all evil thoughts vanish.

The Great Way guides me, and all misfortunes are broken.

Although the Taoist nun didn't teach him any secret martial arts techniques, he was always able to secretly learn something from spending so much time together.

After silently reciting the incantation a few times, I felt somewhat better, but that was all.

Mr. Jiang is an optimistic and meticulous person. In principle, he would not "follow the crowd." However, there are always some people who can make you lose your senses and lose your composure.

"I need to talk to you about something."

Li Shurui, whose gaming talent was utterly terrible, looked up. Even though someone had managed to control their expression, Li Shurui still caught a glimpse of something in their eyes...

Panic?

"Ah."

Li Shurui was surprised. She put down the controller and said to Wu Sheng, "We'll continue later."

The Martial Saint nodded hastily.

So what if you're good-looking?

If you eat vegetables, you'll be disliked.

The two arrived at the entrance.

"what happened?"

Li Shurui smoothed her hair and asked curiously.

When you saw Fang Qing in Jiangcheng, did you feel that something was off?

"what?"

Li Shurui feigned surprise to conceal her rapidly beating heart. She stared into Jiang Chen's eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I mean, is there anything unusual about her?"

Li Shurui's brain was working at lightning speed.

Could it be...?

Has it been "exposed"?

impossible.

He wouldn't react this way if he were exposed.

"What do you think? She almost got into a fight with me."

That's not what I meant.

Which one are you referring to?

Li Shurui pretended to be relaxed, "Could you please explain yourself clearly?"

"Is she... feeling unwell?"

Meeting her man's gaze, Li Shurui felt a chill run down her spine again, and remained silent for a long while.

The atmosphere quieted down.

"What do you mean?"

"Fu Zili just called and said that Fang Qing might be sick."

"Get ill?!"

Li Shurui's heart pounded, as if she had been startled.

"Don't be nervous."

Mr. Jiang is a really nice guy. Even at this time, he was still comforting his girlfriend, saying, "I don't know the specifics right now, so I'm asking how she was feeling when you saw her in Jiangcheng."

Li Shurui was stunned.

This was a genuine reaction, not acting, and it actually created a flawless effect.

"No, that can't be..."

She stammered, seemingly stumbling, but actually trying not to laugh.

"Fu Zili wouldn't call specifically for something he wasn't sure about. Didn't you notice anything amiss while you were in Jiangcheng?"

Li Shurui shook her head stiffly, "It seems...no."

Jiang Chen frowned.

Seeing this, Li Shurui was almost certain that, so far, no one else knew this secret except for her.

But that's all for now.

Although it is unclear why Fu Zili became "suspicious," it is obvious that the secret is beginning to show signs of being discovered.

That's how it is.

If you don't know, you can do nothing.

"Why don't you call Fang Qing and ask her?"

Li Shurui made the suggestion.

Helping to cover something up is fine, but deceiving someone has a completely different meaning.

She wouldn't do something stupid.

Even before the Blood Guanyin was exposed, she had the idea of ​​"stepping down and making way for a more virtuous person," let alone now.

Really.

At worst, we can give the seat to Fang Qing. Pregnant women and female demons are special groups. Let them fight each other with their magic while we just sit back, eat some melon seeds, and watch the show. Wouldn't that be great?

"Do you think she'll talk if I call her? You know we're in a 'cold war'."

"You regret it now, don't you?"

Li Shurui criticized, "Therefore, you must always speak properly. Especially with your closest relatives, don't say things in anger or sarcasm. Fate is unpredictable, and you never know which word you say will become a lifelong regret."

"Don't say things in anger, and don't say things ironically."

Jiang Chen repeated.

"uh-huh?"

Jiang Chen looked into her eyes and nodded. "That's very well said."

Li Shurui realized what he was implying and gave him a light punch, saying, "You'll die!"

Jiang Chen rubbed his chest.

Li Shurui put her hand down, how could she not see the burden in his heart? "Who says that childhood sweethearts can't compare to those who fall from the sky? A cinnabar mole will always be a cinnabar mole, and a white moonlight will always be a white moonlight."

Actually, you could tell something from Li Shurui's relaxed tone, but someone's mind was in complete turmoil at the moment, so how could they maintain a normal state? "You're still being jealous at a time like this."

"Jealousy? Your Majesty, your imperial seal has been smashed to pieces."

Jiang Chen didn't respond.

Li Shurui changed her tone and got back to the point, "I'll give her a call."

What a magnanimous heart this is!

Normal rivals in love would curse the other person to a terrible death.

"Thank you."

"No need to thank me. She and I are sisters. Where's my phone?"

"Use mine."

Jiang Chen handed over the phone, his intentions were good, but he lacked self-awareness.

"She probably won't even answer your number if she sees it."

Li Shurui returned to the living room, found her phone, and asked, "Want to listen?"

A wise move is to retreat in order to advance.

As expected, Jiang Chen shook his head.

Li Shurui went upstairs, entered the bedroom, closed the door, and slowly exhaled.

My dear Qinggege, it's only been a short time.

How could you be so careless?

It has already been discovered.

She shook her head helplessly, picked up her phone, and dialed a number.

Sand City.

Fang Qing was already lying in bed. Since she wasn't feeling well, she should rest more. There was a bowl of warm brown sugar water next to her.

This is one of the benefits of having living parents.

Although she went to bed as soon as she got back, she couldn't fall asleep.

How can I possibly fall asleep?

Once it happens, it will happen again.

We've gotten away with it today, but what about tomorrow? And the day after?
She initially thought she had time, at least a few months before her pregnancy became visible, to plan and arrange things, but it turned out that her idea was too optimistic.

Let alone a few months, she probably wouldn't even last a week.

The phone rang suddenly, interrupting Fang Qing's chaotic thoughts. Her pupils regained focus, and she reached out, habitually touching the phone on the bedside table. She picked it up and saw the caller ID. For some reason, the bitterness and irritability in her heart eased considerably.

Humans are social animals.

It requires sharing and responsibilities.

It's exhausting to carry some secrets alone.

"What's up?" Of course, she couldn't let it slip out, so Fang Qing pressed the answer button and put the phone to her ear.

“It’s okay. But I think you need me right now.”

"I can not understand what you say."

"You've made a mess of things, and you're still so stubborn?"

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Don't you know what you've done?"

"baffling."

"Okay, then you should prepare yourself mentally."

Seemingly giving the other person time to mentally prepare, Li Shurui paused for a few seconds before continuing, "He discovered your secret."

Fang Qing, who was lying on the bed, suddenly had her pupils dilate, her heart clenched, and she couldn't help but sit up. "Impossible!"

"impossible?"

Li Shurui sighed softly, "Sister Fang Qing, the truth will eventually come out."

Fang Qing wouldn't listen, like a child caught doing something wrong, "How would he know? Did you snitch?!"

Okay.

Look.

I'm caught in the middle!

Who is the one who suffers the most?

"I snitched? I'm neither a gentleman nor a villain. Whether you choose to tell him or not is your business."

"How could he know? Only you know this!"

The few seconds it had taken seemed insufficient; Fang Qing was clearly not mentally prepared and was starting to break down.

In contrast, Li Shurui's voice on the other end of the phone was much calmer, "Is it really only me who knows?"

Don't treat pregnant women like normal people. Li Shurui didn't waste any time and told him, "Fu Zili just called him and said you're sick."

"Get ill?"

Fang Qing sat on the bed, stunned.

"Correct."

Li Shurui asked, "Why would Fu Zili say that?"

Fang Qing didn't answer, but quickly asked in return, "He doesn't know yet, does he?"

Progesterone can have a significant impact on the body and even personality, but it won't turn someone with high intelligence into someone with intellectual disability.

"I don't know for sure."

Li Shurui's answer was both artistic and accurate.

"call--"

Hearing the relieved breathing coming from the other end, Li Shurui said objectively and fairly, "Perhaps he will find out tonight."

Always stay with me.

Fang Qing quickly said, "Help me."

"I don't even know what's going on, how can I help you?"

Fang Qing tried to adjust her mindset and described what happened today: "When I went to see the house today, I suddenly had morning sickness, and they saw it."

"Besides Fu Zili, who else is there?"

"And my parents."

Fang Qing explained in detail: "I lied and said it was food poisoning. I got a test report from outside, but it seems I didn't completely fool Fu Zili."

It turned out to be the case.

Li Shurui, having understood the situation, was both amused and exasperated. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but then held back.

Can we blame the other party?

No.

Morning sickness is uncontrollable.

Moreover, the other party's adaptability was already quite good. However, Fu Zili was a seasoned veteran and not so easily fooled.

"Where are your uncle and aunt? Don't they have any suspicions?"

Fang Qing did not answer.

Regardless of whether the parents have any suspicions, if it happens a second time, all will be over.

"help me."

In her panic, Fang Qing lost all her former toughness.

Li Shurui did not take advantage of the situation, nor did she seize the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks. She said in a calm voice, "You can't stay in Shacheng anymore."

"Ah."

Fang Qing nodded immediately, her judgment completely aligned with the other person's. "I have to leave; I can't stay with my parents any longer."

wrong.

It's not just parents.

She needs to go somewhere where no one knows her.

"I need to go abroad."

"Going abroad? No way."

"why?"

Hearing the denial on the other end of the phone, Fang Qing frowned in confusion, "Didn't you say before that you wanted me to go abroad?"

"I did say that. But the situation has changed now."

Li Shurui's tone was unusually calm, "No one suspected you before. I could just arrange a job for you and you would go abroad without anyone thinking anything of it. But is that okay now? Some people think there's something wrong with you, and now you want to 'hide' again? Isn't that just trying to cover it up?"

Fang Qing was speechless, unable to refute, "Then... what should I do? I don't know when I'll throw up. If my parents see me again, I'm doomed."

Although it was inappropriate, Li Shurui couldn't help but laugh out loud, "What's wrong with that? What elder doesn't like holding their grandchildren?"

"So you're going to make sarcastic remarks, huh?!"

"Sister Fang Qing, just a friendly reminder, you'd better be a little more polite when you talk to me now. After all, out of billions of people in the world, I'm the only one who can offer you help."

This is not an exaggeration.

"Then help me."

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't rush."

Li Shurui thought for a moment, "You should go back to the East China Sea."

"what?"

Without hesitation, she replied, "I'm not going!"

“I know you’re scared. But you have to understand that the most dangerous place is the safest place. Right now, the only way you can lower his guard is to come to the East China Sea. Otherwise, he might come looking for you.”

This is not alarmist.

Forget about the "cold war," when Mr. Jiang learned of his ex-girlfriend's illness, he, who had already made a fortune at the time, put aside past grievances and extended a helping hand, pulling her back from the brink of death.

"And you also have to get a comprehensive physical exam to prove your health. It has to be issued by a top-tier hospital, not the kind printed on the street."

"You help me with that."

Fang Qing blurted it out.

"..."

Li Shurui was helpless.

"Isn't this a piece of cake for you?"

"Isn't that right for you? Don't you even have the ability to put together a report?"

Li Shurui said irritably, "I've already done more than enough by giving you advice. If I help you make a false report, I'll be an accomplice, an accessory. Sister Fang Qing, I can help you, but you can't make me take the risk."

Fang Qing was speechless.

"This is the best solution I can think of right now. Whether you adopt it or not is up to you."

"What if I get pregnant after I come to the East China Sea?"

Li Shurui was speechless.

I hope she won't become like this after she gets pregnant.

"Xianhuai is a few months away. What you should be concerned about now is getting through this difficult time. Don't be too ambitious. Take things one step at a time!"

That was truly earnest and heartfelt advice.

"That's it. I still need to figure out how to talk to him. You probably felt pretty nauseous today, so you should get some rest."

Li Shurui was about to hang up the phone when a voice suddenly came from the other end:
"I agreed."

"what?"

"You become the child's godmother."

Li Shurui was slightly taken aback, then smiled and asked, "Should I thank you?"

"You're welcome."

"……Bye-Bye."

Li Shurui hung up the phone immediately, took a deep breath, composed herself, went out, and went downstairs.

Someone, who had been eagerly waiting, immediately came over and asked, "How did it go?"

"I feel she should be fine. I'll have her come to Donghai for a full checkup."

Did she agree?

"Probably."

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief; the fact that he was willing to undergo the examination meant that there shouldn't be any major problems.

He gazed at his girlfriend and said gently:
"Thanks for your hard work."

Li Shurui didn't speak, but simply raised her hand and poked his heart with her finger. Then she walked past him and shouted to the martial saint who was having a great time playing, "Again!" (End of Chapter)
