Su Qianci picked up and heard Qin Shuhua’s voice. “Mother,” Su Qianci called.

Hearing it was Su Qianci, Qin Shuhua was silent for a moment before she asked, “Is Sicheng there?”

“He’s in the shower.”

“Oh, that’s why he did not pick up his cell phone. Could you ask him to call back after shower?”

“Sure. Has something happened? It’s so late.”

“Nothing. I will hang up now.” Qin Shuhua did not want to chat with her at all. She was a bit let down by the busy tone.

She walked upstairs and Li Sicheng’s ringtone was playing in the study. Su Qianci walked inside and saw the screen of Li Sicheng’s phone blinking.

It was Tang Mengying.

Su Qianci picked up and did not say anything.

Tang Mengying’s sobbing came through, “Brother Sicheng, are you busy?” Then she choked and said, “It’s hurting so much. The doctor said I am having some bad pregnancy reactions. Your baby is having a rough time. Would you come and check on me?”

Hearing Tang Mengying’s voice, Su Qianci tightened her grip on the cell phone. Pregnancy reactions? Your baby? Feeling a bit disgusted, Su Qianci was exceptionally calm. Walking out of the study, she said, “my husband is in the shower.”

Hearing Su Qianci’s voice, Tang Mengying immediately stopped sobbing.

Su Qianci continued, “It’s too late. We are going to bed. You have something else to say?”

Tang Mengying became completely silent and hung up.

Su Qianci pouted, opened the door of the master bedroom, and saw Li Sicheng coming out of the bathroom wearing just a white towel. His curly hair was still dripping. Water drops fell on his bronze skin. Su Qianci blushed and looked away. No matter how many times she had seen his body, she could not stop herself from blushing.

As Li Sicheng was about to say something, he saw the phone in Su Qianci’s hand. Arching an eyebrow, he brushed past her, locked the door, and then hugged her from behind.

Feeling the wetness and heat behind her, Su Qianci blushed even more, wiggled, and said in a girlish tone, “Dry your hair first. It’s all wet.”

Without stepping aside, Li Sicheng buried his head in her neck, glanced at the phone in her hand, and asked, “You’re checking up on me?”

“I’m not.” Su Qianci pushed away his wet head and said, “I just took a call.”

“And then?”

“She said that…” Before she finished, the phone rang again. It was from the old house this time. “Mother is looking for you.”

Taking the phone from Su Qianci, Li Sicheng directly put it on speaker. Qin Shuhua’s voice came through, “Hi, Li Sicheng?”

“Yes.”

“Mom needs to speak with you about something. It Qianci away?”

Li Sicheng glanced at Su Qianci. “What is it that she could not hear?”

“Nothing important, but I’m afraid she might be upset…”

“What is it?”

“Today, Tang Mengying went shopping with me and was startled by a hooligan. She’s having some bad pregnancy reactions. Could you come and check on her?”

Su Qianci felt even more disgusted and looked at Li Sicheng.

Li Sicheng’s eyes became colder as he asked sarcastically, “What does that have to do with me?”

“You can’t put it like that. After all…” After all, the child was very likely his. The polygraph test came out clean, didn’t it?
