Chapitre 716: Chapter 348: Three Pieces of Good News_3

Qian Yixiu cautiously pretended to have a stomachache for three days, yet her period still had not come. Liang Jinzhao was beginning to understand, and so he held back from touching her, and he also instructed the maids to take great care in serving the senior mistress.

"If you have something to say, just speak up. Why pretend to be ill?" he chided her when they went to bed at night.

Realizing that he had seen through her, Qian Yixiu felt embarrassed and worried he might be angry. She hurriedly explained, "I didn't mean to deceive you. I was afraid that if it turned out not to be the case, it would disappoint you."

Liang Jinzhao turned to face her, playing with a strand of her hair as he spoke, "I know you meant well, and sometimes, a white lie does no harm to trust. But we're husband and wife, and I prefer honesty between us. From now on, whatever happens, you don't need to bear it alone. Tell me, and we'll face and handle it together."
