Yu Yue didn’t understand what Li Kui meant by that. Just as she turned her head to look at him, Lin Lan rushed over and hugged her tightly.
The embrace was so tight that Yu Yue almost choked to death.
“Easy there, careful I don’t end up dead with two lives on my hands,” Yu Yue pushed her away.
Lin Lan immediately stepped back and reached out to touch Yu Yue’s belly.
It had been nearly three months since the little green bean—it probably wasn’t just a little green bean anymore.
Maybe it even had a heartbeat by now.
“Little sweetie, godmother didn’t mean to bump into you, I was just too excited,” Lin Lan spoke to the little green bean in Yu Yue’s belly while stroking it.
Li Kui: “!!”
What did that mean?
Of course, it meant exactly one thing!
He had said Yu Yue’s reaction during the team-building event was strange. If it wasn’t a cold, then there was only one possibility.
But in the end, before going to sleep, he had ruled out that one possibility.
Now, that ruled-out possibility was being confirmed by Lin Lan and Yu Yue together.
Yu Yue… was really pregnant?
“Hey, Big Brother, what’s with that expression?” After teasing the little baby, Lin Lan started teasing Li Kui.
The nickname “Big Brother” was something Lin Lan had picked up from Yu Yue.
Li Kui looked at Yu Yue and said coldly, “What? Not planning to explain this properly to me?”
“Let’s talk about it later. This isn’t the right place for explanations,” Yu Yue pursed her lips, hinting at the crowded airport.
“Fine, let’s go to the car now.”
Li Kui grabbed Lin Lan’s suitcase from the side and walked ahead without waiting for the two of them.
“Oh no, your Big Brother didn’t know about this?” Lin Lan turned to Yu Yue, draping an arm over her shoulder.
“Yeah, I didn’t get a chance to tell him,” Yu Yue stuck out her tongue.
Big Brother was probably really angry.
Fortunately, he was easy to coax. She would just have to coax him properly later, and everything would be fine.
“Look at you, since you’ve decided to keep this baby, you shouldn’t have kept it from him,” Lin Lan said, playing the hindsight card.
“I know, I really just didn’t get the chance.” She had intended to tell him, but unexpected things happened.
After that, she genuinely forgot.
“Alright, I’ll help you coax him later.”
After agreeing, the two of them slowly followed behind, chatting as they walked.
They were so engrossed in their conversation that neither of them noticed, behind the crowd of people waiting to pick up arrivals, a man in a wheelchair who had been utterly shocked when he saw Lin Lan hugging Yu Yue.
It took a long while for the man to snap out of his shock.
Realizing that the face he had been dreaming of day and night was no longer in the airport, he thought he must have been mistaken.
This kind of embarrassing “mistaken identity” situation had happened countless times over the past thousand-plus days and nights.
Every time he rushed forward, it was never her.
So, this time, unwilling to let that embarrassment happen again, he didn’t rush forward.
It didn’t matter much if he was seen as a lunatic, but scaring innocent people was truly not good.
Soon, the man’s phone rang.
He looked at the exit and realized he had gone to the wrong one. He motioned for the person behind him to push him to the side, telling the person on the phone to come over.
Not long after, Fu Jingyan and Su Qingyue arrived.
“Fifth Uncle,” Fu Jingyan called out to him.
“Hmm,” Fu Shen nodded, looking at Su Qingyue. “How’s Tangtang doing?”
“She’s hospitalized, and I’ve already contacted Moon, but there’s been no reply yet.” Su Qingyue looked at Fu Shen with bright, affectionate eyes.
Fu Shen nodded. “Let’s go to the hospital first, then.”
“Alright,” the two replied.
“Let’s go.” Fu Shen glanced once more in a certain direction before withdrawing his gaze.
Perhaps it really was an illusion born from longing.
The three returned to the car, and Yu Yue gave up the front passenger seat for Lin Lan.
Lin Lan was prone to motion sickness, and sitting in the front seat helped a lot. Whenever she was around, Yu Yue would let her take the passenger seat.
Otherwise, they’d simply let Lin Lan drive. Sitting in the driver’s seat and focusing on the road would make her forget about the motion sickness.
Li Kui placed Lin Lan’s suitcase in the trunk and sat in the driver’s seat, not rushing to start the car as he waited for Yu Yue’s explanation.
Yu Yue obediently explained that the child was conceived that night over three months ago.
As soon as Li Kui heard Yu Yue mention that night, he was filled with guilt.
That day, no matter how hard he tried to hurry, he was still too late.
What shouldn’t have happened had happened.
He suggested calling the police, but Yu Yue refused.
As for those three audacious individuals, thanks to their combined efforts, they were successfully sent to jail to face judgment.
Revenge had been taken, but still…
“The child of that stranger from that night?” Li Kui frowned.
They didn’t even know the man. They had tried every means to find him but found no clues. Was Yu Yue really planning to keep the child?
Was that appropriate?
“Yes. Although I didn’t get a clear look at his face that night, my hands told me he was an extremely handsome man with striking features.”
Fu Jingyan, now recovered and healthy, was also quite handsome.
Yu Yue added this last thought silently.
Just as she finished speaking, Fu Jingyan and his group appeared in the parking lot.
“Oh, damn.”
Yu Yue couldn’t help but curse.
Even in broad daylight, you really shouldn’t casually think about someone.
Even if it’s just in your mind.
She had just thought of Fu Jingyan’s name, and now he appeared right before her eyes.
Actually, they were quite far apart—at least, Fu Jingyan hadn’t noticed them.
Li Kui saw him too and scoffed at Yu Yue’s exaggerated reaction. “It’s just your ex-husband. Why are you so worked up?”
Lin Lan chimed in, “How could she not be worked up? She gave him such a big green hat, and in the end, he still gave her a house, a car, and a huge sum of money. What do you think would happen if he found out about this?”
Li Kui was stunned for a moment before finally catching on.
No wonder she was so scared.
After hearing Lin Lan’s analysis, he thought Yu Yue’s fear was completely justified.
But—
“Wait, that’s not right. This ex-husband of yours has a new love interest too. You’re even, so it cancels out, right?” To this day, Li Kui still believed Su Qingyue was Fu Jingyan’s new love interest.
And that little girl.
Speaking of the little girl, Li Kui suddenly slapped his thigh, his attention shifting. “Lin Lan, didn’t you want to recover your lost memories? I found a little girl who might help us get started.”
“Hmm? What little girl?” Lin Lan raised an eyebrow.
“That year, when we rescued you from the yacht during our trip abroad, we discovered you had given birth. We never told you because, well, you didn’t remember anything anyway.”
“Today, a little girl with congenital heart disease came to Moon for surgery. She looks nothing like her current mother, but she looks a lot like you.”
“I have a bold guess.”
“…”
Li Kui spoke with great seriousness, and the two women in the car grew increasingly horrified as they listened.
Lin Lan was both horrified and terrified, while Yu Yue, after the initial shock, suddenly had a moment of clarity.
Both of them believed about seventy to eighty percent of what Li Kui said.
After all, Li Kui had such an ability.
He could draw a child’s adult appearance based on a photo, and he had anonymously helped many parents searching for their lost children on reunion websites using this skill.
Similarly, he could also draw Lin Lan’s childhood appearance based on how she looked now.
However, even though Li Kui had drawn it, it still failed to awaken Lin Lan’s lost memories.
Yu Yue belatedly realized that the little girl Li Kui mentioned was that Tangtang.
She finally understood what Li Kui had meant earlier when he said he couldn’t make up his mind.
