The fire burned through his body.

The only feeling of coolness was from the man beside her. At this moment, she threw away her shyness and shame as she blushed and offered herself up.

The pain was minuscule in the clouds...

His phone rang. Li Xiaochu woke up from the shock and blushed.

The real dream overlapped with reality, and her face was so thin that she could not show her face.

He opened his phone in a flurry, trying to shift his attention to hide the guilt in his heart. However, when he saw the content of the message, he suddenly froze.

Twenty-one weeks pregnant.

Living together for half a year, sleeping in the same room for one night.

This was her poor married life with Li Yanchen.

This child that was hard to come by, he … Would you like it?

"If you want to hold onto Mrs. Li's position, you must have a child. Try to get Li Yan Chen to drink this, he won't notice."

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, think about your brother in the ICU."

— —

Unsuitable memories popped up. Li Xiaochu's face turned pale, and his fingers subconsciously grabbed his phone.

She had almost forgotten that the only night she had spent with Li YanChen was when she had drugged him.

This child was a witness to her shameless actions!

Tap.

The room lit up with a crisp sound.

A shadow immediately covered his head. Li Xiao Chu was kneeling on the bed, and as he raised his eyes, he was caught off guard and his gaze collided with the person.

A cold, emotionless gaze turned to her. It paused on her body for a few seconds before it moved away as if nothing had happened.

It was obviously no different from usual, but Li Xiao Chu looked like he was stabbed by needles, his lower abdomen suddenly retracted.

"You're still awake."

A calm statement was actually the rare opportunity for him to initiate a conversation in the past half year.

Li Xiaoxi was sure that Li Yan Chen was in a good mood tonight.

Perhaps, she could take this opportunity to probe his intentions.

Her heart beat more frequently than usual. She took a deep breath and spoke softly, "About that …"

"Let's try it on and see if it fits."

A sound that was like the buzz of a mosquito was heard, but Li Yan Chen did not seem to notice at all. As he spoke, he casually tossed over a delicate gift box.

The courage that Li Xiaoxi had accumulated for so long was defeated in a single blow. She accepted the gift box in defeat, and then stared at the black evening dress in the box in a daze.

"There's a trade dinner tomorrow night. Accompany me to it." The voice that just so happened to answer her question caused Li Yan Chen to pause for a moment. His calm gaze once again fell on her body, and his thin lips moved, completing his words.

"As Mrs. Li."

Buzz! His head exploded, shocking Li Xiao Chu who was struggling to regain his rationality.

She licked her lips and asked softly, "Why is it so sudden?"

Li Yan Chen stopped untying his tie and leaned against the hanger, his loose collar revealing a bit of something different than usual.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. Under the moonlight's light, his eyes glittered with a cold light, and his voice also seemed to be as cold as if he had been touched by frost.

"What? Isn't this what you father and daughter wanted?"

The bone-piercing coldness couldn't be stopped any longer and insolently poured into his bones.

Li Xiaochu was still kneeling on the bed, her body slightly curled up as she tried her best to calm down.

"I don't understand what you're talking about."

Even without the mirror, Li Xiaoxi knew that every inch of her skin from head to toe was filled with guilt.

No wonder her acting skills had always been criticized by netizens.

Li Xiaoxi mocked himself for thinking so much. The other party had brutally taken away her last chance to take a breather.

"Changing the weather and using my illegitimate daughter to marry him, Qu Xianghai has truly exceeded my expectations. It took me quite a bit of time to find out about all these. Tell me, how should I repay the huge gift he gave me?"

Li Yan Chen's voice was cold, accompanied by a bunch of photos that split the face.

Sharp edges streaked across his face, and under the slight pain, Li Xiaochu opened his eyes wide, looking at the photos scattered on the bed sheets.

In the hospital ward, the girl who looked about 80% similar to him lay quietly on the bed, while Qu Xiang Hai guarded beside the bed. His undisguised concern and love for her was perfectly captured in the image.

Some of the emotions that lurked in the depths of his memory began to stir.

Li Xiaochu thought of half a year ago when his father found her and handed her some documents.

"From today onwards, you are Qu Yan. Tomorrow, someone will come to you and take you to get your marriage certificate."

Li Xiaochu held the thing he stuffed and forgot to ask.

Qu Xiang Hai massaged the space between his brows, as if he had thought of something, and added: "Right, the person you want to marry is the President of the Li Group, Li Yan Chen. This should be your sister's marriage, but Xiao Yan got into a car accident at this critical moment.

Behind Qu Xianghai, Li Xiaochu did not manage to catch what he was saying. Her mind was filled with thoughts of that name that had caused her heart to tremble — Li Yanchen.

No one knew that she had a crush on Li Yan Chen.

Seven years. Seven whole years.

She was like a silent thief. She had carefully hid this intention for seven years, but at this moment, a huge surprise hit her.

She should have resisted, given up her name and married as someone else, a ridiculous condition that only a fool would accept.

However, the words Li Yan Chen gave her a reason to ignore everything else.

And so she married.

After half a year of marriage, she was in a state of anxiety and treading on thin ice.

She was afraid that the truth would be revealed, but when the moment really came, Li Xiao Chu was shocked to discover that she was much more relaxed than he had imagined.

Her shoulders were relaxed as she bit her lower lip and raised her eyes, "I'm sorry for tricking you for so long. If you want to go to court, I'll cooperate fully with you when I'm needed …"

"Li Xiao Chu."

Li Yan Chen interrupted her, and for the first time, her name came out of his mouth with a strange trembling.

Subconsciously, she straightened her back and even lowered her breathing.

She coveted this feeling. However, in the next second, her lower jaw was tightly gripped by someone.

Li Yan Chen stepped on the edge of the bed with one foot, and the aura that he bent over her firmly enveloped her, making it hard for him to breathe.

He was extremely close, and as he spoke, all of his breath sprayed onto her face.

"You think that my Li Family can come and go as they please? "If I don't pay the price, am I, Li Yan Chen, a qualified businessman?"

What would be the price of cheating?

Li Xiaoxi made countless plans, but he never thought that he would make such a request.
