The 99th Divorce Chapter 1834 - Qianqian Is Pregnant

Chapter 1834: Qianqian Is Pregnant

“I’m doing all this for your good! Why do you insist on being so stubborn?” Old Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth and asked. “I already told you that this girl is destined for a short life! I double-checked my calculation with a friend. She will definitely not live beyond the age of twenty-eight!”

“That’s impossible.” Shen Zhilie’s face darkened and turned very ugly. “Grandma,” he warned, “if you are going to continue spouting such statements, don’t blame me for turning hostile.”

Old Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Zhilie, and she began to quake with fury. She yelled, “How dare you! How dare you speak to your grandmother this way?”

“I’m speaking the truth, Grandma. You have to accept reality. Moreover, there is no way Qianqian and I can split up now.”

Shen Zhilie pulled Ye Qianqian closer to himself and looked around before announcing clearly, “Qianqian is already pregnant. We can’t wait any longer. I want to get married as soon as possible.”

Ye Qianqian looked up at Shen Zhilie in shock and instinctively raised her hand to rub her belly at the same time.

Pregnant? Just when did she become pregnant? How did she not know anything about it?

Shen Zhilie sensed her eyes on him. He lowered his head and gazed at her kindly as he said, “Sorry I couldn’t keep our secret, but I had no choice. Grandma is very stubborn. If we don’t tell her the truth, I’m afraid she’ll force us to break up.”

Ye Qianqian just blinked her eyes. She was dumbfounded. Everyone around looked at the couple in disbelief, and their gazes moved to Ye Qianqian’s belly.

Ye Qianqian felt her hair stand on end from the attention she was receiving. She laughed dryly and said, “How could you… crumble so easily? Now that… everyone knows… that I’m pregnant out of wedlock… it’s so embarra.s.sing…”

“It’s fine. I will definitely marry you before your stomach starts to show,” Shen Zhilie declared gently to her. “I will not let you or the child down.”

Ye Qianqian couldn’t bear it anymore, and her face began to redden under everyone’s scrutiny. She lowered her head and clenched Shen Zhilie’s clothing in her hand, but didn’t say another word.

Mrs. Shen was flabbergasted as well. “Oh my G.o.d, Zhilie,” she said. “I thought you would know your limits! How could you… wait till now before bringing her back here?”

Shen Longyue was equally disapproving. With a frown, he said, “Hmph! You only brought her back now? If people didn’t know better, they’d think our family doesn’t possess basic decency!”

However, Old Mrs. Shen stomped her foot. She pointed at Ye Qianqian and said, “The readings on this girl’s palm and face show that she’ll never have a child. It’s impossible that she’s pregnant. Shen Zhilie, stop lying to me!”

Ye Qianqian’s heart skipped a beat, and gooseb.u.mps appeared all over her as she felt her guilty conscience rear its head.

Indeed, she wasn’t pregnant! Of course she knew that! But for this old lady to be able to tell with a single glance, and to be able to predict that she would never be able to bear a child…Could it be… that she was destined to live only until twenty-eight? G.o.d forbid! That was impossible! She was in the pink of health. How could she die at twenty-eight?

But if it were really true… she was twenty-six years old this year. That was only two years away from her twenty-eighth birthday. That meant…

Shen Zhilie’s eyes turned cold. He held Ye Qianqian in his arms and said coldly, “Grandma, you are wrong.”

Old Mrs. Shen was infuriated, and she yelled, “Shen Zhilie!”

Shen Zhilie merely pulled Ye Qianqian along as he retreated and said, “We’re going to sleep now. The fetus needs its rest. Good night, Dad and Mom.”

Old Mrs. Shen grew even angrier. Shen Zhilie had bid his parents a good night, but he had ignored her completely. She had just been speaking the truth! It was impossible that the lady was pregnant! It was simply impossible!

She knew Shen Zhilie’s personality way too well. If he really married the girl, when something eventually happened to her, he would remain a widower into his old age.

No way! No way! No way in h*ll was she going to let that happen!
