“Is this true?” Jiang Yi asked.
Ye Xiaofeng didn’t answer Jiang Yi, instead saying, “I’ll go find my sister and tell her you’re here.”
With that, Ye Xiaofeng turned and ran into the villa.
Jiang Yi’s brows furrowed slightly.
This news was like a bolt from the blue for Jiang Yi.
He and Ye Yanran had been married for so many years, and she had always been unwilling to have children. Now, she was pregnant.
If Ye Yanran was truly pregnant, he couldn’t just ignore it.
Jiang Yi decided to get to the bottom of this matter later.
Not long after, Ye Yanran walked out of the villa.
“Do you need something from me?” Ye Yanran looked at Jiang Yi.
“No!”
Jiang Yi replied.
Jiang Yi had originally planned to ask Ye Yanran if she wanted to go to Li Du City.
Now, Jiang Yi decided to wait and first clarify the matter of Ye Yanran’s pregnancy.
If the pregnancy was true, he would have to stay in Jiang City.
“This isn’t like you. If you don’t need anything, you wouldn’t come to find me. Speak up, what is it?” Ye Yanran asked.
“Tian Sheng Group has a project, I wonder if you’re interested in taking it!” Jiang Yi made up an excuse.
“There’s a coffee shop on the street ahead. Let’s go there to talk,” Ye Yanran suggested.
Jiang Yi nodded and followed Ye Yanran to the coffee shop.
Ye Yanran specifically booked a private room.
Once inside, Jiang Yi sat opposite Ye Yanran and began to observe her.
Soon, Jiang Yi noticed Ye Yanran’s complexion and realized she did indeed look like she might be pregnant.
However, without taking her pulse, Jiang Yi couldn’t be sure.
“Why are you staring at me like that?” Ye Yanran asked with a smile.
Jiang Yi hesitated, unsure whether to ask directly.
“You’re acting strange today. If you have something to say, just say it,” Ye Yanran said, looking at Jiang Yi.
“Are you pregnant?”
Jiang Yi asked.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Yanran froze, her expression becoming complicated.
This time, it was Ye Yanran’s turn to fall silent.
“Who told you?” Ye Yanran regained her composure and asked Jiang Yi.
“Ye Xiaofeng, your brother. He just told me,” Jiang Yi said.
“How would he know?”
Ye Yanran’s brows furrowed.
Ye Yanran was indeed pregnant, which was why she hadn’t gone to the hospital that day.
The reason for her expression was that no one, except herself and the doctor, knew about her pregnancy.
What Ye Yanran didn’t know was that Ye Xiaofeng’s information was accidental; he had no idea she was pregnant.
This was a complete coincidence.
“How could I be pregnant? We’ve been divorced for so long. Ye Xiaofeng is talking nonsense,” Ye Yanran’s expression returned to normal as she smiled at Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi wasn’t a fool. He had seen Ye Yanran’s expression just now.
She was definitely pregnant.
Jiang Yi took a deep breath, unsure of what to do.
He had originally planned to completely sever all emotional ties with Ye Yanran, never expecting such a situation to arise.
“You don’t believe me?” Ye Yanran asked.
Jiang Yi remained silent.
No matter how well Ye Yanran feigned it, Jiang Yi had already confirmed her pregnancy.
“Regarding the project, I’ll have Dong Rui discuss it with you. I’ll take my leave now!” Jiang Yi said.
Jiang Yi then stood up and left the coffee shop.
Ye Yanran watched Jiang Yi’s retreating back, sat quietly for a moment, then got up and headed straight back to the villa.
At this time, Ye’s father, Ye’s mother, and Ye Xiaofeng were entertaining members of the Ye family clan. The entire villa was bustling.
“Yanran, what’s wrong? Your complexion doesn’t look good!” Ye He said to Ye Yanran.
“You all leave!”
Ye Yanran exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, the members of the Ye family clan turned their gazes towards Ye Yanran, not understanding what had offended her.
Ye Yanran had been fine moments ago, and now she was throwing such a tantrum.
“I told you to leave, didn’t you hear me?” Ye Yanran scanned the faces of the Ye family clan members.
Seeing Ye Yanran’s anger, the Ye family clan members bid farewell to Ye’s father and mother and left the villa one after another.
A few minutes later, only Ye Yanran, Ye’s father, Ye’s mother, and Ye Xiaofeng remained in the large villa.
“Yanran, what’s wrong? Did something happen?” Ye’s mother asked.
“You should be asking Ye Xiaofeng!”
Ye Yanran said faintly.
Ye’s mother and Ye Xiaofeng assumed Ye Yanran knew about their scheme to deceive Jiang Yi, and neither dared to meet her gaze.
“I’m asking you, how did you know about my pregnancy?” Ye Yanran stared at Ye Xiaofeng.
“I…”
Ye Xiaofeng couldn’t utter a word for a long time.
Ye Yanran was rarely this angry, and Ye Xiaofeng was frightened.
“Speak!”
Ye Yanran continued to stare at Ye Xiaofeng.
Under Ye Yanran’s intense gaze, Ye Xiaofeng felt immense pressure.
Finally, Ye Xiaofeng couldn’t bear it any longer and confessed, “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lied to my brother-in-law and told him you were pregnant.”
“Yanran, your brother did it for your own good. Don’t be angry,” Ye’s mother quickly interjected, trying to pacify Ye Yanran.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yanran understood!
It turned out Ye Xiaofeng didn’t know about her pregnancy at all; it was all a coincidence.
“Yanran, you’re not really pregnant, are you?” Ye’s mother suddenly realized.
“No… no!”
Ye Yanran replied.
Suddenly, at that moment, Ye Yanran felt a wave of nausea.
Ye Yanran tried to control herself, but she couldn’t help it and let out a retching sound.
Then, she immediately rushed towards the restroom.
Ye’s father, Ye’s mother, and Ye Xiaofeng stood there stunned.
“What’s going on? Is Sis really pregnant?” Ye Xiaofeng was dumbfounded.
Ye’s mother ignored Ye Xiaofeng and followed to the restroom door, peeking in at Ye Yanran.
“If Sis is pregnant, then whose child is it?” Ye Xiaofeng asked with a puzzled expression.
“Do I even need to say? Of course, it’s Jiang Yi’s child,” Ye’s father said, taking a deep breath.
He didn’t know whether to be happy or worried.
“This is too great!”
Ye Xiaofeng grinned.
“If Sis is really pregnant now, then her remarrying brother-in-law will be a natural progression. Mom and I won’t have to work so hard anymore.” Ye Xiaofeng appeared excited.
Ye’s mother was even more excited than Ye Xiaofeng. She had peeked at Ye Yanran and confirmed that Ye Yanran was indeed pregnant. She ran back and said to Ye’s father, “You made me worry for nothing. I’ll go find Jiang Yi myself tomorrow and have him remarry Yanran.”
“Jiang Yi might not necessarily agree to remarry,” Ye’s father scoffed.
“This isn’t up to him!”
Ye’s mother asserted. “Yanran is carrying his child. He must be responsible for her.”
Ye’s father took a deep breath, sat on the sofa, took a sip of wine, and began to ponder.
He knew Jiang Yi’s personality very well.
The Ye family had kicked Jiang Yi out of the house back then, and now they wanted him to remarry Ye Yanran. Jiang Yi would most likely refuse.
