"In the past, it was always me who was wrong. From now on, I will still treat you as my older sister."
Su Qi smiled and said nothing.
Xu Lin Yun underwent an examination and was indeed pregnant.
Mo Yu was both surprised and delighted. She called Xu Ru Yun, who rushed to the film set overnight. Upon learning of Xu Lin Yun's pregnancy, she embraced her daughter in the hotel room, weeping with joy.
"This is wonderful, wonderful! All our efforts have finally paid off, and dreams have come true. I'm going to be a grandmother!"
Most importantly, Lin Yun was now firmly established as the young mistress of the Huo family!
As soon as dawn broke, she would deliver this good news to the Huo family!
She noticed Su Qi standing nearby.
Xu Ru Yun took a close look at Su Qi.
After a month, she found that Su Qi had gained a little weight.
Even in a loose-fitting dress, it was still noticeable.
Especially her chest had grown larger.
"Su Qi, come out with me for a moment."
Xu Ru Yun called Su Qi into the corridor.
Closing the door, Xu Ru Yun began, "As you can see, my daughter is pregnant with Huo Ting Yun's child. This child will be the heir of the Huo family."
"Congratulations," Su Qi replied dismissively.
Her tone was casual, betraying little emotion.
This reaction was not at all what Xu Ru Yun had expected.
She had thought Su Qi would cry, make a scene, or even threaten suicide. She hadn't expected such a response.
She had even offered her congratulations.
"I'm not joking with you. If you think you can marry into our family, think again. I will never agree to Lin Chuan marrying you. Dating is a possibility, but only if you divorce Huo Ting Yun!"
Xu Ru Yun, from the bottom of her heart, looked down on Su Qi.
But her son was infatuated with her.
However, young people were often swayed by appearances.
Su Qi's beauty was such that not only men, but even women, found it hard to resist.
She figured her son would get tired of her after a year or two.
Su Qi wanted to climb the social ladder, but she wouldn't succeed.
"Lin Chuan and I are just ordinary friends."
Su Qi frowned.
Xu Ru Yun continued, "Since you have some self-awareness, hurry up and divorce Huo Ting Yun!"
Su Qi smirked, a half-smile playing on her lips. "Since Miss Xu is pregnant, the Huo family will naturally handle the divorce. It's not my place to interfere. I will simply follow instructions. If Huo Ting Yun wants a divorce, wherever and whenever he wants to divorce, I will cooperate."
Xu Ru Yun knitted her brows and stared intently at Su Qi.
Su Qi spoke sincerely.
But she didn't believe a single word she said.
For a moment, she couldn't tell if Su Qi was being perfunctory or genuine.
"It seems you have some self-awareness. But even if you didn't want a divorce, you have no choice this time!"
Xu Ru Yun finished, lifted her chin, and turned to enter the hotel room, leaving Su Qi alone outside.
After standing there for a while, Su Qi felt truly tired.
At this hour, with Xu Lin Yun pregnant, she likely wouldn't be filming anymore.
"Baby, come here." Gu Tang Xue waved at her from the end of the corridor.
When a staff member resigned from the film crew, Gu Tang Xue took over a hotel room for rest and brought Su Qi inside.
As it was a corner room, it wasn't spacious, and the window was small. However, it was a star-rated hotel, so everything was luxurious, and the bed was very soft.
"Don't think too much about it. Get some good sleep."
Gu Tang Xue looked at Su Qi with concern.
With Xu Lin Yun pregnant, Su Qi must be feeling unhappy.
Even though Su Qi didn't say anything, Gu Tang Xue could sense it.
"Okay, you should rest early too."
The moment Su Qi hit the pillow, she fell asleep.
Gu Tang Xue watched Su Qi sleep soundly before lying down herself. Seeing how deeply Su Qi slept, she felt a little more at ease.
She had thought Su Qi would have trouble sleeping.
After all, another woman was carrying her husband's child.
It would be difficult for anyone to accept.
Seeing Su Qi sleeping soundly, Gu Tang Xue also closed her eyes.
The next morning when she woke up, Su Qi was already up. After a simple wash, Gu Tang Xue called Su Qi.
When Su Qi received Gu Tang Xue's call, she was carrying two servings of soy milk and meat buns and heading for the elevator.
Just as she stepped into the elevator, a few people followed in.
Su Qi lowered her gaze, but the man's unique scent still drifted to her nose.
It was all too familiar.
Even with her eyes closed, she could distinguish the owner of this sandalwood scent.
It was like the incense smoke in a temple.
Huo Ting Yun.
The elevator slowly ascended.
Inside the elevator car, it was very quiet.
Ding.
Reaching the floor, Su Qi stepped out of the elevator.
Behind her, Xu Ru Yun's smiling voice rang out.
"Son-in-law, you're here! Lin Yun is pregnant, about a month along. We just found out last night. You're going to be a father!"
Su Qi quickened her pace.
Gu Tang Xue was about to leave her hotel room when she saw Su Qi returning.
"Did you go to get breakfast? I saw in the group chat that Huo Ting Yun has come to the film set..."
As she spoke, she saw a group of people at the end of the corridor. Gu Tang Xue pursed her lips, opened her hotel door, and let Su Qi in.
"The soy milk and meat buns today are delicious."
Perhaps to celebrate Xu Lin Yun's pregnancy, the breakfast variety had increased significantly. Su Qi had packed some to bring back.
"Xiao Su..."
Gu Tang Xue didn't know if Su Qi was truly indifferent or just pretending.
"What?"
Su Qi swallowed the meat bun in her mouth, seemingly knowing what Gu Tang Xue wanted to say.
She took a sip of soy milk, cleared her throat, and then slowly said.
"Don't worry about me. A relationship has reached its end, and everything is irrelevant to me now. Him becoming a father is a good thing, and I should bless them." This happiness rightfully belonged to them.
If Xu Lin Yun hadn't pursued her dreams and entered the entertainment industry.
They would likely have been married long ago.
She was the one who had intruded into their world.
She had no standing and no right to be jealous.
From the beginning, she and Huo Ting Yun were like parallel lines.
Never intersecting.
It was only fate's cruel twist that had forced them together.
But people who didn't belong in the same world, when forced to integrate, would only end up hurting themselves.
"Have you truly moved on? But I feel it's so unfair to you. You and Huo Ting Yun are legally married. Why...
I don't know the whole story, but legally speaking, you should have the confidence of the rightful wife."
Gu Tang Xue felt indignant.
Su Qi smiled and said nothing. After breakfast, she got up and continued with her work.
With Xu Lin Yun resting for a day due to her pregnancy, Su Qi also had a day off. She drove back to the city. As soon as she arrived home, she received a call from Li Cui Ping.
"What's wrong with you?! I heard Xu Lin Yun is pregnant?! I really want to scold you! You're so disappointing! Look at how quickly others got pregnant, and you've been married for a year with no signs of pregnancy. No wonder the Huo family doesn't want you!"
"I'm telling you, Su Qi, if the Huo family divorces you, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
After Li Cui Ping's hysterical rant, Su Qi expressionlessly hung up the phone.
Divorce would be for the best.
She had been waiting for a call from Huo Ting Yun or Qin Xue.
