I was so shocked that my whole body shivered and I almost jumped up.

Who else would do such a thing?

I quickly covered my mouth with my hands and covered the red blush on my face.

I was immediately furious.

Alright, since he wants to play, then I'll play with him too, who's afraid of who!

I took off my high heels and extended them out towards him. In order to avoid touching Qiao Chenfei and Zhong Ruoqing, my movements were still very careful, to the point that my palms unconsciously started sweating.

I touched his leg, then followed his example, sliding slowly up his shin, teasing him as I did so.

I ruffled my hair and peeked through my fingers at the expression on his face, but he didn't change his expression. He seemed to enjoy it.

F * ck! I felt a sudden lack of accomplishment. He gritted his teeth and no longer had any trouble. He extended his feet towards the old man and used his toes to tickle him. Then, he immediately set up a tent.

I curled my lips and was about to pull my foot back when he grabbed me. Startled, I tried to fight back, but it was useless. His grip tightened.

Annoyed, but unable to show it, I took out my cell phone and texted him, warning him to let me go.

As if he hadn't seen the message, he put the phone back in his pocket, pulled down his pants chain the next second, and put my feet in his pants.

I took a deep breath and felt my whole body stiffen. My face was burning, and I was scared to death. What if someone found out?

I bit my lip and clenched my hands so hard they were covered with sweat. I wanted to strangle him. At the same time, I'm also a little regretful. I know very well that the person who loses every time will definitely be me, yet I still swore to stay away from him. Why did I have to provoke him?!

Just as I was feeling both angry and apprehensive, Lou Shaotang actually ignored my nervous mood, calmly grabbed my foot and pressed it against his body, starting to play with it.

I was so shocked that my heart stopped beating a few times. I didn't expect him to be so bold and shameless. He didn't respond at all. He acted like a puppet, letting him do whatever he wanted.

At this time, the old man suddenly called out to me, "Tu Ying."

"Huh?" I was startled, and though my body stiffened, my face immediately turned to the old man. "What, what's the matter, Grandfather?"

I was so nervous that my heart was about to jump out of my chest. I quickly struggled for a bit, signalling Lou Shaotang to let go of me.

I was furious, but there was nothing I could do. This is my own fault, I can only endure it!

I gave up struggling and pretended to be calm as I looked at the old man.

The old man stared at me for a few seconds, then said with a stern voice: "I originally did not agree with you entering our Lou Family again, but Chen Fei said that you were pregnant, and since that's the case, for the sake of the child, I will accept it."

Huh? Pregnant?

I was stunned, and I felt the hand that was holding my foot come to a halt.

"Pregnant?" Xu Manli screamed out, and looked at me in disbelief, "Tu Ying, you're pregnant?"

No wonder the old man agreed to let me be with Qiao Chenfei. It turned out that Qiao Chenfei lied to him that I was pregnant.

I looked at Xu Manli, her eyes were as big as bells, her face had turned green, I turned my gaze back to Shen Yiru, and she looked even more so, she had been trying so hard to hold on just a moment ago, but her face had lost all its color, and my face was extremely ugly to look at.

The reason they had such a look on their faces was very clear, it was because I was carrying the first child of the fourth generation of Lou Family. If this were a male treasure, she would be the eldest grandson of the Lou Family, and the old man would definitely treat it as a precious treasure. How could they not be nervous? Not jealous? No resentment?

But they didn't know it was fake. I also felt very uncomfortable, I didn't expect that Qiao Chenfei would lie like that. I looked at him without batting an eyelid.

Qiao Chenfei understood me, and he could see the displeasure in my eyes. He also secretly gave me a look and grabbed my hand, squeezing me.

I can't deny it, but I don't want to admit it either, so I just smile at everyone.

Before I could smile, Lou Shaotang had already taken my feet out of his pants and flung them away disdainfully. Caught off guard, I tilted my body and grabbed onto the edge of the table, if not I would have fallen down.

I stared at him. His face was so dark that it felt like a storm was about to break. My heart skipped a beat as I quickly put on my shoes and buried my head in my food.

At this moment, the old man spoke again, still speaking to me, "In the future, you must behave yourself, and not be like in the past. You must think about your identity, and not lose face for the Lou Family, or for Chen Fei, before you do anything."

The old man's tone was rather serious, he was probably afraid that I would be unhappy. Qiao Chenfei rushed in front of me and replied, "I understand grandfather, Xiao Ying knows what to do." He gave me an apologetic smile that only I could read.

He did not know if it was really because of the deity's reaction, but when it saw Lou Shaotang's expression, it suddenly had a violent storm. For safety's sake, Qiao Chenfei insisted that I stay in Garden for the night, so I agreed.

When the servants had cleaned up the guest rooms, I angrily asked Qiao Chenfei: "Chen Fei, how can you lie like that?"

Qiao Chenfei also knew that he had overdone it, but he seemed to be helpless. He pulled my hand and kissed, "I had no choice, you know my grandfather's temper better than me, what if you don't say it like that?"

I frowned. "But I'm not pregnant, how are you going to tell that lie?"

Thinking that I was angry because of this, Qiao Chenfei's expression loosened, "You don't have to worry about this. I've thought it through, in a few days I will say that you've miscarried or that the hospital's investigation is wrong. Grandfather and the others won't object to us being together again because of this."

"I'm speechless, how did he come up with such a 'clever' idea?!"

Forget it, forget it. There was no point in pursuing the matter any further. Since he had already said so, he could only do so.

"Oh right, how did you become a Vice President? Where's your dad? " I changed the subject and adjusted the tense atmosphere.

"It was my dad who brought this up with Grandfather. He said that he's old and wants to be the second best."

Looking at Qiao Chenfei's chuckling face, I was very surprised. As far as I knew, Lou Yuanhai was a very ambitious person, but due to Lou Shaotang's awakening, he was forced to withdraw to the position of vice president. He didn't seem to care on the surface, but he was unwilling in his heart.

What I know is that once I didn't want to hear him complain about it on the phone. Now he was willing to give up his position as vice president for the sake of his son. Great fatherly love!

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that I was in a daze with lowered eyes, Qiao Chenfei raised my chin and looked at me affectionately.

Seeing that he was about to bow his head and kiss me, I immediately turned my face away. "It's getting late. Why don't you go rest early?"

Qiao Chenfei was startled for a moment. He pulled my face away and used his pitch-black eyes to look at me. The light in his eyes was very, very deep, so deep that I was almost sucked in by him.

"What's wrong?" I quickly woke up and pulled his hand away.

"Xiao Ying, do you love me?"

I started slightly. In the past, when we were together, he rarely asked me that question. He believed that I loved him, and so did I.

But since we got back together, he had to ask me every now and then. Was it because the events of that year had made him unconfident?

Strangely enough, every time he asked me a question, even though I wanted to answer "love" right away, such a simple word always stuck in my throat, making it hard for me to say it out loud. In the end, he either nodded or made a slight "hmm" sound as an answer.

But at that moment, I actually didn't even have a nod or a response, because suddenly, Lou Shaotang's face flashed across my mind, making me feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing that I was silent, Qiao Chenfei did not say anything, but continued to look at me, and his gaze became brighter and brighter, as though if I did not answer, he would continue to wait.

I couldn't bring myself to look at his eyes again. It was as if he could see right through me.

"I don't love you, who do I love?" I turned my eyes away and smiled. But when I said that, a feeling of guilt immediately swept through my heart, and at the same time, Lou Shaotang's face suddenly appeared in my mind.

He felt his heart ache.

Once again, the room fell into silence. I felt depressed and uneasy, and was just about to find an excuse to let Qiao Chenfei leave when's faint, smiling voice slipped into my ear. "Yes, you love me."

"Xiao Ying, you only love me." "I love you," I say.

His eyes were determined, and his tone was even more determined. It was as if he was stating an irrefutable fact. But under this firmness, I had a vague feeling that he was reminding me or something else, and I couldn't quite put my finger on that feeling. It was very strange and complicated.

I didn't know how to reply to him. I smiled at him as usual, and my voice was so faint that I almost couldn't hear it myself. And that smile, even without looking in the mirror, I knew it was very perfunctory.

I don't know if Qiao Chenfei had sensed it, but I don't think so. He laughed heartily and didn't pursue this topic anymore.

We chatted for a while. Qiao Chenfei saw that I was exhausted, so he asked the servant to make me a cup of milk. After seeing that I had finished drinking, he arranged for me to sleep, then went back to his room.

In the middle of the night, when I was sleeping soundly, I suddenly felt something pressing against my stomach. I felt a little pain, and when I opened my eyes, I saw someone sitting on the bed beside me. I thought I was hallucinating, so I rubbed my eyes and looked again.

Lou Shaotang's bright and terrifying eyes were staring at me sinisterly.
