Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 206 205. Lin Xiao knew it a long time ago

When grandma passed away, she had a smile on her face.

When she smiled, the whole family in the ward cried even harder.

It’s just that because the elderly have given their children the opportunity to show their filial piety during this week, everyone’s crying has become less filled with regret, resentment and grief, and more filled with reluctance.

Amidst the crying, Han Xixi was the calmest one, watching intently in the corner.

Lin Xiao was afraid that she would be too sad, so he secretly squeezed her hand.

She responded with a broken smile, indicating that she was fine.

What follows is the funeral procedure.

There are special agencies to handle this kind of thing, so the whole family doesn't have to do much work. Most of the time they just stay at home, which is much more relaxing than when grandma was in the hospital.

These two days, the whole family finally got together.

Han Haijun rushed back from Yizhou. His son-in-law Liang Bin, who was far away in Jingzhou, and his two children Liang Tian and Liang Jun had just finished their final exams and flew over from Yizhou, just in time to attend the funeral.

There was a constant stream of guests coming and going in the mourning hall.

Liu Zhongshan and Shen Suzhi have worked in their respective positions for their entire lives and have lived in the old town of Ninghai for their entire lives. They have many relatives and friends.

Even though Liu Zhongshan had already retired.

But despite the fickleness of human nature, there is still an endless stream of relatives and friends coming to mourn. What's more, Director Gao, the ICU attending physician who brought Shen Suzhi back from the brink of death several times and had been a teacher all her life, is one of them.

At the call of Director Gao, dozens of students came to the mourning hall to pay their respects. Those who were unable to come also jointly sent wreaths and elegiac couplets to express their condolences.

In the mourning hall, Director Gao saluted reverently.

When greeting the family members, his eyes were red and his face was full of shame, blaming himself for not being able to save his teacher from the brink of death.

The eldest brother Liu Linian quickly comforted her: "Director Gao, please don't say that. You have done your best, and we family members know it! If you hadn't tried so hard to save her several times, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to see our mother for the last time. Our family is sincerely grateful to you, really!"

Several children also thanked with red eyes.

Director Gao's face was still filled with shame and he blamed himself very much. The chief physician, who was over 50 years old, almost cried several times.

Lin Xiao was watching this scene behind his elders, and then looking at the wreaths that could not be placed inside and outside the mourning hall, he suddenly had an epiphany.

In one’s life, people come and go in a hurry.

Some people live in this world and leave nothing behind, and no one remembers them, as if they have lived in vain.

But some people, like Xixi's grandmother, although they have passed away, are deeply missed by their entire family and are grateful to by their students scattered all over the world.

Such a life, no matter how glorious and brilliant it is, is at least worth living in this world!
Lin Xiao was deeply touched.

Next to her, Han Xixi's eyes became red again as she watched this scene.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao held her hand, and the young couple looked at each other tacitly and smiled silently.

At this time, another guest arrived.

Lin Xiao followed the elders and went over to see a familiar figure in the crowd, or two to be exact.

Xie Bin is the cousin of Xixi’s best friend Xie Xiaowei. I met him at Xie Xiaowei’s house last time.

There were an old man and several middle-aged people in front of Xie Bin, who should be his grandfather and uncles.

The two families were old neighbors who had lived in the same community for decades. Their relationship was no worse than that of the Liu family’s relatives, so the entire family attended the ceremony in a grand manner and expressed their deepest condolences.

In the crowd, the men looked solemn, while the women all had red eyes, expressing their reluctance to leave sincerely.

There was a young girl standing next to Xie Bin. Compared to everyone else, she looked a little confused.

Lin Xiao remembered that last time Xie Bin said that he was engaged, he even brought his fiancée to the Liu family.

It was the Dragon Boat Festival that time, and he was there too.

It's just that he was cooking in the kitchen at the time, and when he came out, Xie Bin had already left with his fiancée, so he didn't see him.

Later, Xixi told me that grandma also gave a red envelope to Xie Bin's fiancée.

Now that my grandmother has passed away, it is reasonable for the fiancée to show up at the funeral home.

What surprised Lin Xiao was that not only did his fiancée come to mourn.

What surprised him was that he actually knew this woman, even though they had only met once.

In a flash, many things flashed through his mind, giving him a sense of fate that "there is no escape".

This woman is Du Xue, the best friend of Zhang Peng’s wife He Xiaoqian.

After New Year’s Day this year, Zhang Peng held his son’s first birthday party.

He Xiaoqian also tried to bring Lin Xiao and Du Xue together, and Du Xue was also interested in him.

However, when adding WeChat, Lin Xiao directly said that he had a girlfriend, which made the atmosphere very awkward.

I never saw Du Xue again after that.

He never expected that one day, he and Du Xue would meet again, and in such an occasion.

What’s even worse is that Du Xue will become Xie Bin’s fiancée!
Of course, if you think about it carefully, this is nothing surprising.

Ninghai is so small, and there are only so many people in the same circle.

Grandpa Xie Bin lives in Mingyue Garden. From the looks of it, he is a retired cadre and his family is not poor.

Du Xue is now a teacher at the primary school affiliated to a normal school. She is close friends with He Xiaoqian, whose family is similar to that of the native Zhang Peng.

It can be seen that these people are from the same circle.

At the beginning, He Xiaoqian wanted to match Du Xue and Lin Xiao because she saw that Lin Xiao had entered the system and was promoted to deputy section chief. Although he was temporarily working in the countryside, his future was limitless, which was why she liked him.

To be honest, in He Xiaoqian's eyes, if the two of them really were to become a couple, Lin Xiao would be marrying above his station.

If Lin Xiao doesn't work out, Du Xue's family will naturally introduce her to another partner. It's perfectly reasonable for her to be with Xie Bin, who is a good match for her and has a handsome appearance.

Lin Xiao certainly had no improper thoughts about Du Xue, and he almost forgot about this person.

The reason why his eyes were shining now was that not long ago, he suspected that his identity as the person who took the secret photos of Han Xixi's "keeping photos" was leaked from his best friend Zhang Peng.

At that time, Lin Xiao thought that since this matter was known by Zhang Peng's wife He Xiaoqian, who was a native of Ninghai, and Han Xixi was also a native of Ninghai, although the two did not know each other, it was not impossible for information to be transmitted through their intricate relationships.

Later, Jiang Xueying, the real murderer, revealed herself, and Lin Xiao no longer thought about Zhang Peng's affairs.

But now, he was surprised to find that his previous inference was not nonsense. This mountain road that seemed impossible to open had actually been opened long ago when no one knew about it.

He and Zhang Peng are best friends, Zhang Peng and He Xiaoqian are husband and wife, He Xiaoqian and Du Xue are best friends, Du Xue became Xie Bin's fiancée, and Xie Bin has always regarded Han Xixi as his white moonlight for many years, and even hated Lin Xiao for this...

Now, Lin Xiao already knew that this secret had reached He Xiaoqian.

As for whether Du Xue knew about it, he had no idea.

But seeing the transmission chain clearly laid out here, Lin Xiao knew very well that even if Du Xue didn't know it now, she would know it one day in the future, and then Xixi would also know it one day.

In other words, even if Jiang Xueying, that crazy woman, hadn't come out and messed around, she would have set off this hidden danger in advance.

In the near future, he, the "real murderer", will still be blown to pieces.

This is for sure!

Thinking about it this way, Lin Xiao suddenly understood what our ancestors meant by the saying "A short pain is worse than a long one."

Fortunately, the thunder has now been successfully cleared.

Otherwise, he would have to keep worrying all the time, and now seeing Du Xue in this situation would be so frightening that he would die.

And now.

He could hold his wife's hand, walk up to them and greet them openly.

Du Xue also recognized him at this time, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in her eyes.

The two of them tacitly pretended not to know each other. After Xie Bin introduced them, they greeted each other and the four of them chatted for a few words without any awkwardness.

Xie Bin suddenly said to Xixi: "Xixi, are you okay? You must take care of yourself and don't be too sad!"

This sounds like ordinary concern.

But as someone who knew his brother's thoughts, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

I was just wondering whether I should give this kid a warning at the funeral hall.

Han Xixi, who was beside him, suddenly loosened her hand that was tightly holding his, and smoothly put her arm around his, then moved closer to him in a very intimate manner.

Xixi said calmly, "These days, my husband has been with me, taking care of me, and comforting me. I am doing fine now. Thank you Brother Bin for your concern!"

A trace of loneliness flashed across Xie Bin's face.

But he quickly returned to normal, nodded and smiled: "That's good, that's good!"

Seeing that the Xie family was about to leave, Lin Xiao said in time: "Thank you, I'm looking forward to drinking your wedding wine!"

Only then did Xie Bin realize that his fiancée was still standing next to him. He quickly took her hand, nodded, and left.

Looking at the backs of the two people.

Lin Xiao and Xixi looked at each other, and everything was said without words.

……

Setting up the coffin, cremation and burial.

In just three days, a living person disappeared from this world and turned into a pile of soil buried deep underground.

After a few days of funeral, the Liu family accepted the fact that Shen Suzhi had passed away, and laughter and joy began to appear in the house again.

Although the laughter only came from the children's fighting.

But the adults no longer scolded us to be solemn, and smiles appeared in the corners of our tired and swollen eyes.

Shen Suzhi's ashes were buried on Saturday morning.

In the afternoon, the whole family gathered in the old house in Mingyue Garden.

The men were smoking and chatting on the balcony, the children were playing games in the living room, the sisters-in-law Wu Min and Deng Juan were preparing dinner in the kitchen, and the sisters Liu Liyun and Liu Lixia were packing their mother's clothes in the bedroom to burn them.

This scene reminded Lin Xiao of the time when his grandmother celebrated her birthday, when the whole family was also together.

The only difference is that that time it was a birthday and this time it was a funeral.

Two tables were set for dinner.

The adults sat at a large table in the dining room, while Han Xixi's generation sat at a small table on the coffee table in the living room.

The atmosphere at the table was not as dull as the previous two days. Everyone was talking about trivial matters at work, as if it was just an ordinary family gathering.

After three rounds of drinking.

My second aunt Deng Juan suddenly asked, "Second sister, Lixia, have you packed up mom's clothes?"

Liu Liyun sighed and almost cried: "Everything is packed. Mom doesn't even have many clothes. She can't even fill a suitcase!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the mood at the table suddenly darkened.

Deng Juan ignored her and asked again: "I remember Mom had two jade bracelets and a gold necklace..."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Lisong knew that his wife was sick again and slammed the chopsticks on the table.

"what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? I just asked...I didn't say what to do!" Deng Juan said weakly.

Liu Lixia was already holding back her anger, but she was persuaded by her sister and husband to hold it in.

At this moment, she could no longer hold back and sneered, "Second sister-in-law, Mom only has those two pieces of jewelry, which were bought for my sister and me on our birthdays in recent years. It's not your turn to ask, right? Besides, although Mom is gone, Dad is still here. Are you planning to divide the family?"

As soon as Liu Lixia opened her mouth, people on both sides started to pull her back, but they couldn't stop her at all.

As soon as these words came out, not only the adults' table, but also the children's table in the living room immediately became quiet.

Everyone in the room looked at Deng Juan.

Deng Juan was so embarrassed that she was not convinced. She immediately leaned back and sneered, "Lixia, what you said is really rude. When did I say we wanted to separate the family?"

Liu Lixia said coldly: "You didn't say it, but that's what you meant, otherwise why would you ask about my jewelry?"

Deng Juan angrily said, "Is it illegal for me to ask? Mom's things belong to the whole family, not you two sisters! You have been married to Jingzhou for more than ten years, and you can't even serve Mom a bowl of water or a cup of tea all year round. Usually, when Mom has a headache or a fever, it is me and my sister-in-law who take care of her. When have you ever pointed fingers at you two sisters? Oh, I just gave you two bracelets for your birthday, and you can't stand it anymore. I asked you a question and you rushed to teach me a lesson, right?"

Liu Lixia was so angry that her face turned red. Fearing that she would run out of breath, she stood up and started to speak: "Second sister-in-law, you are talking about me, why are you talking about my sister? My sister has been busy these past few days and she almost wanted to stay in the hospital. The whole family has seen it. But you, you obviously don't have a job but you are not seen all day long. With you like this, how can we count on you to take care of mom all these years? You talk better than singing!"

This is getting more and more unpleasant.

Several people tried to stop the fight, but they could not stop the people from fighting.

Deng Juan's voice became louder and louder: "I have a clear conscience whether I took care of the old couple or not. It is not your turn to point fingers! Besides, shouldn't Liu Liyun take care of mom? Among the four of you brothers and sisters, she is the one who benefits the most from our parents. Shouldn't she live in the hospital?"

When everyone heard this, they knew that old matters were going to be brought up again.

Liu Linian suddenly became furious and pushed his wife hard, yelling, "Are you crazy? Mom just left, why are you talking nonsense here? Can't you just stay quiet?"

This push and roar were terrible.

Deng Juan was just angry just now, but now she has gone crazy, jumping and shouting in the living room. "Am I crazy? What did I say is wrong? Liu Linian, you bastard, you only know how to side with outsiders and not with your wife!"

While shouting, he was about to pounce on and scratch the person!

A few people quickly pulled them apart, drove the children into the room, and pushed Liu Linian to the balcony.

This is how the matter ends.

As a result, Liu Lixia's husband Liang Bin whispered to her: "It's so hard for the family to get together. If you don't say a few words, you will die!"

After hearing this, Liu Lixia exploded again and shouted, "Why should I say less! In recent years, every time the family gets together, the second sister-in-law would act like a demon, and the family would give in to her. As a result, the more she gave in, the more she felt that the family owed her, and she would go crazy when she found an opportunity.

"After the first rescue, Mom was recovering well. Even Director Gao said that she could be discharged after a little more observation. Why did her condition suddenly worsen? Wasn't it because Deng Juan was talking nonsense in the corridor that day when we were discussing nursing care and scared Mom? Otherwise, Mom would have been discharged now without her behavior. How could she..."

Liu Lixia had been holding these words in her heart for days before she finally let them out and burst into tears.

When Deng Juan heard this, she was immediately furious.

When people said that she coveted her mother-in-law's jewelry, she was not convinced but also felt guilty, so she just stretched her neck and made a few arguments.

But if we say that she is the murderer who killed her mother-in-law, that is a very serious crime.

She didn't dare to admit it anyway!
Deng Juan went crazy and screamed, "Oh my God, this is terrible! You can't bully me like this! Who said we needed to discuss something that day? It wasn't me? Who said we would talk in the hallway? It wasn't me!

"You children, if you really care about your mother, should have chosen another place to discuss the matter. You chose to discuss it at the door of the ward, and then blamed me for being loud. What's going on? Are you a family of flesh and blood bullying a stranger like me?"

The shouting was deafening and hysterical.

Everyone in the living room was stunned and couldn't utter a word.

Deng Juan was still not satisfied and shouted again: "If you want to say who killed Mom, it's not my turn! None of you brothers and sisters can escape, including Han Xixi! Why did Mom suddenly have a cerebral hemorrhage..."

The words have not yet fallen.

Lin Xiao suddenly shouted: "Second Aunt, you've had too much to drink!!"

This sudden shout startled everyone in the room, even Deng Juan was shocked.

However, the madman only paused for a second before continuing to go crazy again: "Your family is really amazing. The younger generation can even yell and teach the elders a lesson. It is true that being an official makes you bold and having money makes you rich. From now on, this family will have the same surname as you, Han or Lin!!"

Lin Xiao was also speechless.

As the saying goes, even a fair judge cannot judge family affairs. He is not an official, yet this family affair is so complicated. The other party is an elder and a mentally deformed lunatic!
The buffs are simply stacked up!

No matter how eloquent he was, he could only stare in astonishment and be speechless.

Deng Juan continued to speak out, and even old man Liu Zhongshan's slamming of the table was of no use. She seemed to be ready to turn the whole family upside down.

At this moment, Liu Bowen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly stood up, picked up a bowl on the table and smashed it hard on the ground, making a loud "bang" sound.

"Stop! Making! Noise!!"

Liu Bowen screamed hysterically, shocking everyone, including Deng Juan.

She looked at her son in disbelief, her eyes full of horror and despair, tears streaming down her face.

This farce ended with the house in a mess and everyone suffering.

……

Liu Liyun cleaned up in Mingyue Garden until after 10 o'clock, and then returned home with her husband, daughter, and son-in-law.

Lin Xiao and Han Xixi did not go to the house, but went straight back to the house in Tianlanyuan.

Without her parents around, Han Xixi couldn't help but ask, "My second aunt just said that grandma's sudden cerebral hemorrhage was related to me...what does that mean?"

Lin Xiao's eyes flashed.

He knew from the beginning that this matter could not be kept secret. After all, after his grandmother was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, the eyewitness at the scene - the old lady who was a volunteer with him - also went to the hospital and told the whole story in front of Liu Liyun's brothers and sisters.

After Lin Xiao arrived at the hospital, he immediately went to ask his mother-in-law about the situation, but he didn't let Han Xixi hear it.

But this matter has spread so widely that it is impossible to conceal it.

Even if his second aunt hadn't made such a fuss tonight, Lin Xiao was planning to find an opportunity to tell Xixi.

But it was still a step too late, and she asked the question in advance.

At that moment, facing Xixi's determined eyes, Lin Xiao knew that he had to tell the whole story.

It just so happened that he had been feeling aggrieved these days, so he took this opportunity to have a confession with his wife.

"My parents and I didn't mean to hide this from you. We didn't tell you because we were afraid that you would be sad and have wild thoughts, which would add to your psychological burden!"

Lin Xiao spoke calmly, looking straight ahead, and then asked, "I can tell you now, but you have to promise that you will look at this matter rationally and objectively, and not get emotional!"

When Han Xixi heard this, she knew that the matter was indeed not simple.

She frowned, feeling uneasy, but nodded solemnly: "I promise I won't get excited, just tell me!"

Lin Xiao paused for a moment, a little hesitant.

But in the end, she told the whole story about how her grandmother had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage because she heard black fans openly insulting her beloved granddaughter.

Han Xixi was completely stunned.

Lin Xiao quickly said: "You promised me to stay calm, don't get excited!"

After hearing this, Han Xixi took a deep breath, but her tears still flowed out uncontrollably.

Lin Xiao said calmly: "Don't think that it is because you debuted as a singer that you harmed your grandmother. Director Gao also said that your grandmother had severe high blood pressure, which was the main cause of the cerebral hemorrhage. Excessive emotions were just a symptom. In fact, most patients with cerebral hemorrhage suddenly develop the disease without any signs. Emotional stimulation is not common. Don't be misled by your second aunt's crazy talk!"

Han Xixi nodded and accepted Lin Xiao's comfort.

"I understand...I won't blame myself!" she sobbed.

"Really?"

"real!"

Xixi paused and said with emotion, "I still want to thank you for telling me this!"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "You're welcome..."

Xixi insisted: "I have to thank her, it's very important because it's proof that grandma loves me!"

Lin Xiao glanced at her, and a soft light emanated from his sad pupils, making him look charming and touching.

Lin Xiao's heart almost melted when he saw this, but he forced himself to hold it back.

Because of today's confession, he has already confessed, but Han Xixi hasn't!
And what she was about to confess would make her very, very angry!
The car moved smoothly and the road was quiet for a long time.

Lin Xiao hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but asked: "How are you now, are you still sad?"

Han Xixi shook her head.

As if afraid that he wouldn't believe her, she gave him a forced smile.

Lin Xiao nodded and believed her relief.

Then, his expression became serious.

"Han Xixi, you said before that we have a serious crisis of trust, so we need to separate for a month to give each other enough time to calm down and think... Do you still remember?" he asked suddenly.

Han Xixi was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect him to bring this up suddenly. She felt a little nervous for some reason.

“I remember…what’s wrong?”

"You said this on June 6th, and today is July 13th, exactly one month!"

"..."

Han Xixi was stunned. She had never expected this strange node!

"So how calm are you now?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Well... calm down!"

Xixi lowered her head and answered timidly.

At this moment, there was no longer the arrogance and complacency she had when she pulled Lin Xiao's pigtails a month ago. In just one month, their auras had inexplicably completely changed - now Lin Xiao was a bit bossy, and she had become trembling and submissive.

"Tell me about it!" Lin Xiao said in a cold and hard tone.

"Oh……"

Xixi pursed her lips, organized her words a little, and then spoke, "I was angry at the time because you secretly took pictures of me and my dad shopping in the mall, causing me to fall into cyberbullying for no reason. Although I know you did it unintentionally and don't mind this mistake, I am still very angry that you didn't take the initiative to confess this to me for such a long time!"

Lin Xiao nodded, without expressing any opinion, and listened quietly to her explanation.

Han Xixi continued, "But during this period of time, I have also figured it out. You took that photo by accident, and the photo was circulated unintentionally. As for the impact of this photo on my career, you have already compensated me a hundred times and a thousand times through your own ability. From the perspective of right and wrong, I have no reason to blame you anymore.

"As for why you chose to conceal the truth and didn't tell me the truth, I was really angry when I found out the truth. But this time, it was your prompt decision that allowed me to see my grandmother for the last time. It was you who took good care of me that allowed me to be calm and accompany my grandmother for the last time.

"Then I was thinking, if you had confessed to me about the photo on the day of our blind date, I would never have seen you again, and we wouldn't have ended up like this, and I wouldn't have had your shoulder to lean on when my loved ones passed away."

As Han Xixi spoke, she became emotional and turned around with tears in her eyes again.

"Brother, thank you for staying with me all these days. I'm really not angry anymore, and I want to apologize to you!"

"Apologize?" Lin Xiao forced himself to appease his wife and continued to ask with a cold face.

"Well, apologize! Regarding Jiang Xueying's matter and the matter at Kalia's dinner party, I actually believed you!"

Xixi said softly and helplessly, "But I didn't know why at the time, I just acted a little bit, and I couldn't control myself. Maybe I was jealous, your first love was so outstanding, I felt that I couldn't compare to her in any way, or maybe I was too inferior to her, pursuing the so-called dream of being a singer, but I have come this far with your help...

"Because of these negative emotions, I couldn't control my temper. When you sincerely apologized and tried to solve the problem, I chose to be unreasonable and evasive, which led to our cold war for such a long time... I'm sorry, brother, can you forgive me this time..."

Xixi said this, and weakly grabbed his short-sleeve on his right shoulder with both hands and gently pulled it.

They say invisible seduction is the most deadly.

Lin Xiao knew that his wife was truly apologizing sincerely and was not deliberately teasing him.

But it was precisely because of this that I lost my life.

Lin Xiao's eyes were still on driving, but his heart was pounding and his whole body was out of control.

Ask any man, if you see your wife with tears in her eyes and looking pitiful, and she is like a docile kitten in front of you, meowing and begging for forgiveness, can you be so cruel as to ignore her?
Lin Xiao was so eager to give his life to her!
But when he thought about what he had been holding back for over a week, his restless mind quickly cooled down and he forcibly suppressed the urge to reconcile.

"Are you done?" he asked coldly.

“…That’s all.”

"Let me summarize!"

Lin Xiao kept looking ahead and said coldly, "You mean, I am the one who took the photos of your 'sugar daddy' and I have been taking the photos for so long without admitting it. I am also the one who made trouble for my so-called first love, Jiang Xueying, right?"

Xixi nodded obediently: "Well, it's all over!"

Lin Xiao didn't dare to look at her, for fear of being soft-hearted.

“What about our crisis of confidence?”

"No more, all gone!"

Xixi raised her right hand and said seriously, "From now on, I will trust you 100%. I will believe whatever you say and will never doubt you again!"

Seeing this adorable look, Lin Xiao couldn't help laughing and wanted to reach out and give her cute forehead a rub.

He forced himself to hold it back, his expression still cold.

"I kept the reason why grandma had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage from you. You don't blame me, do you?"

"No wonder!"

Xixi shook her head like a rattle, "You saw that I was too sad at the time, and you were afraid that I would have crazy thoughts, so you didn't tell me. It was for my own good!"

Lin Xiao nodded. His wife had indeed figured it out and was able to apply what she had learned to other situations.

"So I said, I have nothing to hide from you now, do you believe it?" he asked.

"I believe, I believe!"

"how about you?"

"Um?!"

Xixi was confused by the question.

It happened to be a red light, Lin Xiao stepped on the brakes and turned his head to the side.

His eyes were calm, examining and questioning: "Are you hiding something from me?"

Han Xixi felt nervous when she was looked at. Her mind went blank and she couldn't speak for a long time.

This reaction further confirmed Lin Xiao's guess, and the emotion and sympathy he had just felt completely gone.

The car fell into an eerie silence.

36 seconds later, the red light ended and the car started.

Lin Xiao finally asked: "You are pregnant, why didn't you tell me?!"

Han Xixi's eyes lit up and she looked at him in great astonishment, stunned.
