âI donât know what youâre talking about.â Shi Xiaonian gritted out through clenched teeth.
âMiss Shi. If you really want to rely on your child to gain social status, itâs useless to keep denying it. Why donât you just give us your demands? Donât wait so long that our young master runs out of patience. Then, you wonât even have the chance to rely on your child to raise your social status.â
Feng De followed the script on the documents in his hand.
His tone was warm, but every word was extremely cruel.
Repeatedly bringing up the child, the child, the childâŠâŠ.
âI said there isnât one! Aside from never having been pregnant before, even if I really was pregnant with that manâs child, I would definitely abort it! Now are you satisfied?â Shi Xiaonian passionately shouted.
At that moment, Shi Xiaonian was hit by an important realization and hastily asked, âRight! Do you have a morning after pill? Are there any week-later contraceptive pills?â
Birth control measures had not been taken both times sheâd been forced by Gong Ou. She didnât want to get pregnant in such an preposterous mannerâŠâŠ.
Feng De was startled into speechlessness. No matter how he looked at it, she didnât seem like someone who would secretly have someoneâs child.
A week-after contraceptive pillâŠ..
What was this? She actually requested contraceptives as if she wanted to avoid him like the plague.
Gong Ou sat on the balcony with a completely dark expression on his face.
The woman massaged his shoulders weakly, annoying him further. Gong Ou pushed away the delicately pretty woman with one shove, âStop massaging. Get lost!â
âYes, Mr. Gong.â
Xie Linlin deferentially responded. As she snuck a glance at the room through the window, a hint of jealousy flashed across her pretty face.
That ordinary-looking woman had actually at a higher level than herself. She had even gone so far as to have Gong Ouâs child.
She had no problems seducing ordinary men, but she had never even gotten a kind word from Gong Ou.
Many women came and went by Gong Ouâs side, but now there was a new one who had birthed his child.
It had become even more difficultâŠ..for her to rise a level.
The entire forest was dappled with sunlight. Deep in the forest, the imperial castle was an especially spectacular, magnificent sight under the sunshine.
Butler Feng De walked to the balcony. He deferentially lowered his head to Gong Ou, âYoung master, I have already used several different methods to interrogate Miss Shi.â
âI only want the result.â
Gong Ou sat on the white rattan chair with one hand on his lower jaw as he spoke coldly.
âThe result of the lie detector test isâŠ..that Miss Shi is telling the truth.â
The truth.
She was actually telling the truth.
Feng De reported, âShe didnât lie. Young master, could it be that we made a mistake?â
âImpossible!â
Gong Ou stood up suddenly and strode into the room.
In the room, Shi Xiaonian was on the polygraph chair removing all the countless cords from herself. Right when she was trying to get up, Gong Ou came up and rudely and unreasonably shoved her back into the chair.
âBAM!â
Shi Xiaonian fell back hard. It hurt so bad that it felt like all her bones were shattered. She clenched her teeth and angrily looked up towards the man, âWhat are you doing?â
âWhat do you think Iâm doing?â
Gong Ou leaned on her, pushing her deeper into the polygraph chair. One of his hands ruthlessly squeezed her jaw, and he glared at her arrogantly, forming an ambiguous posture. He reprimanded angrily, âShi Xiaonian, listen closely. Be sensible and quickly hand over the child!â
Child. Child. Is there no end to it?
âDidnât I already go through the lie detector test? You should know that I didnât lie. You made a mistake. Hurry up and release me.â Shi Xiaonian wasnât used to having a manâs weight on her body. She weakly struggled but was immobilized even further.
âRelease?â Gong Ou laughed coldly as arrogance surfaced in his eyes, âDo you think I would let you go, you liar?â
If he let her go, where would he find the child with his blood in its veins?
Even if the polygraph showed that she was being completely truthful, he wouldnât believe it. Heâd never believe it. This woman was definitely lying.
