"Ha... you're right, our relationship is merely transactional, don't delude yourself into thinking I would acknowledge this child."
Leng Yichen turned away coldly and left.
Shu Qiqi burst into tears with a loud cry, wondering why it had come to this.
Not long after, the old lady walked in.
She hurriedly wiped her tears, "Grandma?"
"Why are you crying, girl? Could it be that Yichen doesn't like the child? That shouldn't be the case, he was clearly very excited just now?"
"No, that's not it, I'm just a little overwhelmed."
Already at her wits' end, she couldn't let her grandmother worry further.
"..."
Owing to Shu Qiqi's pregnancy, they stayed the night at the Leng residence.
Leng Yichen didn't return to his room for the entire night, claiming he was too happy and drank with his elder brother until dawn.
The next morning, reeking of alcohol, he pushed open the door to Shu Qiqi's bedroom.
After the previous day's events, Shu Qiqi was somewhat afraid of him.
