details make a difference.

When dealing with smart people, the more you rack your brains to design, the worse the effect will often be.

Both Shu Junzuo and Uncle De are experienced and wise. The trap they set for Lu Ye was simple and obvious, but it hooked Lu Ye step by step and forced him to follow it.

Just like at this moment, Lu Ye could clearly feel that the discussion coming from the phone just now was most likely intentional by those two people.

But even so, Lu Ye couldn't help but sympathize with Shu Wen.

I imagined how helpless and lonely she must have felt, carrying a child alone and facing the double pressure of mental and physical stress.

And this is exactly what Mr. Shu and Uncle De hope to see when they arrange these things.

Waited for a few minutes.

There was a sound of footsteps on the other end of the phone.

Soon, Shu Wen answered the phone.

"Lu Ye, are you looking for me?"

Shu Wen was actually feeling a little uncomfortable at the moment. It might be because of the twins. She was already more than four months pregnant, but her morning sickness had not eased at all.

She had just vomited so much bile in the bedroom that she was about to vomit. When she heard the maid say that Lu Ye was calling her, Shu Wen suppressed her nausea and went downstairs to answer the call.

Shu Wen's voice was a little weak.

Lu Ye's mood couldn't help but become nervous.

Dad Lu Ye has done it countless times, but it was always in bed.

Lu Ye, who had never truly been a father, really didn't know how to face Shu Wen, not to mention that they had such a relationship.

"Are you... okay?" Lu Ye asked with a trembling voice.

Just this simple word of concern, to Shu Wen now, was like the most irresistible blow.

The state that he had just tried to calm down was instantly broken by Lu Ye.

Tears as big as green beans fell down in an instant.

"I... I'm fine, why are you asking that?" Shu Wen wiped away her tears vigorously, took a deep breath, and said with all her might.

Shu Wen didn't want Lu Ye to know about her situation, and she didn't know that Lu Ye already knew that she was pregnant, so she pretended to be fine.

"Mary came to see me and told me that you were pregnant with my child."

Lu Ye no longer had the excitement he had at the beginning. At this moment, Lu Ye spoke in a very gentle tone, without any questioning tone or any blame.

Rather, it seems like a kind of concern.

Just now at the riverside, the surging water soothed all of Lu Ye's annoyance and made him understand many things.

It was Shu Wen's fault for putting drugs in the wine.

But pregnancy is not Shu Wen's sole responsibility.

Mary destroyed her relationship with Su Mengyao, and the reason was ultimately because of this incident.

Let’s put aside other things for now.

The baby in Shu Wen's belly is his, and Lu Ye feels that he should stand up and face this problem.

Regardless of whether Su Mengyao is willing to forgive him or not, the child is innocent after all.

As a father, he must not be a coward in this matter.

Hearing Lu Ye's words, Shu Wen was stunned at first, and then acted like a child who had been caught doing something wrong.

Panic, fear, tension...

"I..."

"sorry..."

"I......"

Shu Wen was so flustered that she didn't know what to say, and tears streamed down her face.

Seeing Shu Wen's loss of composure, Lu Ye, who had already believed it, became even more certain.

"You should have told me earlier. It's such a big thing. You should have let me bear it with you instead of enduring it silently."

"It's hard to hold on, right?"

"Did your grandfather and father blame you?" Lu Ye asked softly.

"No, although Grandpa was a little unhappy, he didn't blame me too much."

"I'm fine now." Shu Wen said, "I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid it would affect you and Su Mengyao. I didn't expect Mary to be so quick-witted."

"But how did she know that I was pregnant?" Shu Wen was also full of questions.

From the very beginning, Shu Wen had made up her mind to raise the child on her own. If possible, Shu Wen even planned to keep it a secret from Lu Ye for the rest of her life.

In this matter, Shu Wen felt very sorry for Su Mengyao. She really didn't want to destroy the relationship between Lu Ye and Su Mengyao.

But now, this matter was leaked by someone Shu Wen thought was absolutely impossible.

Shu Wen's surprise made Lu Ye realize that she was completely unaware of this matter.

Then the answer is very obvious.

The person who knew about Shu Wen's pregnancy and could control Mary must be Shu Wen's grandfather or her father.

But, it’s just a thought.

At this moment, Lu Ye did not hate.

Because if it were him, he would probably choose to do the same for his daughter.

"Oh, right!"

"How is Su Mengyao? She doesn't know about this yet, right? You must not tell her!"

"This is all my fault. I will bear all the consequences myself. Don't worry, I promise not to disturb your life."

"If Su Mengyao knew about this, I'm worried she wouldn't be able to stand it and would quarrel with you." Shu Wen said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Lu Ye forced a smile on his face.

He didn't want to tell Shu Wen about those calculations, and there was no need to point out that Mary was instructed by someone to deliberately destroy the relationship between him and Su Mengyao and tell Shu Wen.

Now that Shu Wen is pregnant, it is important for her to maintain emotional stability.

If Shu Wen knew what his grandfather or father had done, he would probably have a big fight with his family.

If something happens to Shu Wen, it would be even more of a loss.

In any case, this is not what Lu Ye wants to see.

Lu Ye is not a saint. He chose to keep it secret for the sake of Shu Wen and the child in her belly.

"We are all doing well here. You can just focus on your pregnancy and don't worry about us."

"Shu Wen."

"I know how you feel. To be honest, I kind of like you, too."

"But I can't lie to you, nor can I lie to myself. Su Mengyao is in my heart, and her importance is irreplaceable."

"I can't give you happiness."

"I know!"

Shu Wen forced a smile and interrupted Lu Ye as if nothing had happened:

"I already knew what you were talking about. You've endured hardships together in the countryside, supporting each other through thick and thin. You've already planted your affections deeply in each other's hearts."

"And I am just a passer-by who broke into your destiny because of that train, but I think meeting you is the greatest gift God has given me."

"Now that I have our children, I am already very satisfied. When they are born, I will definitely raise them well. You don't have to worry."

"I wish you and Su Mengyao the best. I hope you can live a happy and fulfilling life. I also hope you can have children of your own in the future."

Shu Wen suppressed her sadness and said the most generous words a woman could say.

"Thank you, Shu Wen." Lu Ye said with some difficulty after hearing the obviously changed voice.

Shu Wen on the other end of the phone wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Then he put on a relieved smile.

"Okay, if you don't have anything else to say, I'll go back to my room and rest. Pregnancy is really hard for a woman. I always want to lie down now... hehe."

"Okay, then you have a good rest, I'll call you another day."
