All eyes were on Chi Lingling.

Only she knows the answer to this question.

Chi Lingling finally raised her head, her eyes brimming with tears, and looked at Qiu Li. "I'm sorry, A Li, but Qi Yize and I were really just an accident. We were both drunk that night..."

“Men become impotent when they’re drunk,” An Ling’s voice rang out leisurely. “You didn’t even know that?”

"Or are you the only one who was drunk, and Qi Yize was actually lying to you?" Qiu Li directly exposed him, "That would still be considered having sex against your will when you couldn't resist. Why don't I call the police for you?"

When Qi Yize heard that Qiu Li was going to call the police, he panicked instantly.

He knew in his heart that Qiu Li was probably just saying that, but the problem wasn't whether Qiu Li would actually call the police, but that he had said it in front of so many people.

If Qi Yize doesn't quickly refute this, then once the news gets out, everyone will think that he might have deceived Chi Lingling and forced her to have a relationship. In other people's eyes, wouldn't he be a criminal?

In this situation, he didn't care about saving face anymore. Although it was all about being worse, a third party who interfered in someone else's relationship was still better than a criminal, right?

He figured he might as well just give up and go all out. He felt that even if he revealed everything, he would lose face and Qiu Li would lose face too, so he might as well consider it a one-for-one trade.

“Qiu Li, since things have developed to this point, I have no choice but to tell the truth,” Qi Yize straightened his collar, which Qiu Li had crumpled. “I didn’t force her, and don’t try to smear me. We did have inappropriate behavior behind your back, and we’ve been maintaining this relationship for almost a year.”

After telling everyone what had happened, Qi Yize had no more worries and felt a sense of recklessness.

Since this matter is destined to end badly, we might as well lose face together.

Even if this gets out today, people will only care about it for a short while while they're gossiping, and then they'll forget about it after a while. Who really remembers other people's business so clearly these days?

After figuring this out, Qi Yize's initial panic completely disappeared.

“Actually, I did give Chi Lingling a choice back then, but she chose to keep it from you,” Qi Yize said, regaining his composure. “You two should handle your own relationship issues; I won’t get involved.”

After saying that, he actually turned around and left.

Even though Qiu Li thought she had some understanding of Qi Yize's despicable character, she really didn't expect him to choose to leave and leave Chi Lingling alone under these circumstances.

Qiu Li grabbed Qi Yize's arm, stopping him from doing so.

"What do you mean by that? You're just going to leave like this?"

"Otherwise what?" Qi Yize didn't even want to pretend anymore.

"But Chi Lingling is pregnant with your child! Aren't you going to abandon her?" Qiu Nian couldn't help but ask.

"Who can prove that it's my child?" Qi Yize retorted.

"what?"

His confident tone as he spoke stunned everyone watching for a few seconds, and they all began to doubt their ears.

The most shocked person was Chi Lingling. She looked at the person who said those words in disbelief. Qi Yize's expression was cold and ruthless, something she had never seen before.

His expression and his previous words were like a boulder thrown at her chest, causing her heartache and making it hard for her to breathe, as if she had suddenly lost her voice, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Chi Lingling took a few deep breaths before managing to squeeze out a few trembling words, "What, what did you say?"

Qi Yize, however, did not think there was anything wrong with what he said.

He met Chi Lingling's gaze without any remorse and uttered even more heartless words:

"I'm saying, no one can prove that it's my child, right? Even if you didn't have a relationship with Qiu Li, who knows if you're having an affair with someone else in private?"

Holy crap, he's truly shameless beyond belief!

[He's a lawyer himself, and he knows very well that even if Chi Lingling secretly takes his sample for a paternity test, it won't be legally valid. As long as he doesn't admit it, Chi Lingling can't do anything to him.]

Now I understand why people say, "A scoundrel isn't scary; what's scary is a scoundrel with education."

Chi Lingling had obviously figured out Qi Yize's plan. You see, after receiving the test results today, she was still struggling with whether to pretend nothing had happened and try to make Qiu Li believe that the child was his, or to break up with Qiu Li and throw herself into Qi Yize's arms.

As a result, during dinner, not only was the first plan completely overturned, but Qi Yize also treated her in an attitude she had never imagined.

"How could you do this to me!" Chi Lingling suddenly rushed over like a madwoman and grabbed Qi Yize's clothes. "I've never had a relationship with anyone else but you. The child I'm carrying can only be yours!"

"Besides, didn't you say you love me? I only got together with you behind Qiu Li's back because you never gave up pursuing me all these years. You should love me very, very much! Why are you saying such things now? Why are you treating me like this!"

Faced with Chi Lingling's repeated questioning, Qi Yize not only showed no remorse, but also a hint of impatience on his face.

"Let go."

He looked down at Chi Lingling, who was on the verge of collapse, and spoke sarcastically:

"Do you even believe what you're saying? Are you really with me because you think I love you? Isn't it because I'm richer than Qiu Li, and because I'm generous to you?"

"Of course not!" Chi Lingling shook her head frantically in denial. "I only agreed because you've been so kind to me for so many years, and I was moved by you. I just couldn't bear to refuse."

Qi Yize chuckled and looked coldly at the agitated Chi Lingling, reaching out to try to pry her hands open.

"I think you're fooling yourself too. Don't you find what you're saying ridiculous? Didn't you already accept a lot of gifts from me before you even agreed to meet me? Was it because you couldn't bear to refuse?"

Besides, if you're truly moved by me, shouldn't you break up with Qiu Li and then be with me?

"Of course not!" Chi Lingling answered without hesitation. "I love Qiu Li so much, how can I break up with him?"

After she shouted those words, the onlookers, who were engrossed in watching the drama unfold, all wore expressions of deep confusion.

They couldn't believe their ears again.

What did Chi Lingling just say?

She said she loved Qiu Li so she couldn't break up with him?

She's already having a child with someone else behind Qiu Li's back, how can she still say she loves him?
