Pregnancy
That “congratulations” sent a quiver over Qin Se’s body.
Right then, she could feel a murderous aura which was directed at her. It was like something from a martial arts novel, especially with the thundering murderous aura that was directed at her, and she felt as though there was something that could snap her neck.
Qin Se shrank a little, and her throat felt dry. “Thank... thank you, Mr. Gu.”
She secretly said to herself,
‘D*mn it! Could it be that Gu Jingyuan has mistaken that I’m pregnant with his child?!’
Gu Jingyuan’s glance swept over to Wang Qiuxia. “Mrs. Shen is blessed.”
Wang Qiuxia nodded frantically. “Yes, yes... Mr. Gu is right. My daughter-in-law is not only well-behaved, but she is also understanding and filial to my husband and me. There’s nothing much I can complain about.”
Listening to Wang Qiuxia’s words, Qin Se could barely believe it.
This was the first time Wang Qiuxia had praised her, and she wasn’t used to it.
Tsk... in front of Gu Jingyuan, her domineering and sarcastic mother-in-law was behaving like a nice lady.
Qin Se stared at Wang Qiuxia’s face, mocking her mother-in-law in her heart,
‘If only she knew that this cousin of hers was actually her daughter-in-law’s “lover.” That… should be interesting.’
Qin Se could barely suppress that evil thought from surfacing in her heart.
After Wang Qiuxia had finished with her boasting, the hotel manager, who had been trailing behind Gu Jingyuan, approached politely and spoke with a smile, “Today, Mr. Gu was inspecting the hotel. When he heard that Mrs. Shen was holding her fifty-fifth birthday here, he decided to drop by and say hello. Mr. Gu said that after all, both families are related...”
Wang Qiuxia was flattered by those words. She felt poised and couldn’t wait to beat gongs and sound the drums to announce to the world that, look at me, the young master of the Gu family is my relative!
Wang Qiuxia nodded her head hysterically. “Yes, yes, yes... relative, relative...”
Even Shen Zhiguo was rubbing his hands at the side in excitement.
Gu Jingyuan slightly raised his eyebrow. “According to the family tree, Young Lady Shen should...”
He hadn’t even finished his sentence when Wang Qiuxia quickly dragged Qin Se over as she said to her, “Quick, quick... address your uncle...”
Qin Se plastered a fake smile on her face as she bowed her head shyly, gritted her teeth, and called out, “Un... uncle…”
The truth was, she was cursing madly in her heart.
‘Mom, I am close to your cousin. We have even shared the same bed.’
Qin Se couldn’t tell what Gu Jingyuan was up to, but she felt that he was definitely up to something sinister no matter what.
This man was a troublemaker!
Gu Jingyuan nodded lightly. At this very moment, he still appeared to be cold and distant, and one could not read his emotions from his expression alone.
His amber eyes were locked on Qin Se, and he spoke in a clipped tone, “Nephew’s wife looks nice, and she seems to be someone with a good temperament. I think the soon-to-be-born child will definitely model after it’s mother instead of my nephew...”
Qin Se’s knees went soft for a moment. She hurriedly held onto the table with her hands to support her body.
Perhaps she should have given it more thought. Was Gu Jingyuan reminding her that the child in her belly would model after him after birth?!
Qin Se lowered her head, not daring to look at him. “Uncle... is right...”
As she said these words, she could barely keep her tongue straight.
Actually, Qin Se wanted to tell Gu Jingyuan “Uncle, you are overthinking it. I’m not pregnant. I’m not!”.
Wang Qiuxia was so excited that she said, “Everyone says that the first-born son always takes after the mother. My daughter-in-law is so good-looking! If the child takes after her, the child will certainly be very good-looking...”
Gu Jingyuan replied emotionlessly, “Generally speaking, if the parents are good-looking, the child would be too.”
