Showbiz Scandal: The Official Announcement of My Ex and Myself-Chapter 249: Is She Pregnant? I’m Going to Kill Xie Qingci

Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Is She Pregnant? I’m Going to Kill Xie Qingci

When they were looking at the clues, the bullet screen in the live broadcast room was continuously erupting.

[Damn, I was originally here to watch the sweet interactions of the "Ling Luo Brocade" couple, but somehow I got sucked into this; even fake sugar is addictive for me / Macho man blowing nose.jpg]

[Fake sugar has its charm too; this kind of unbroken pretense, forced physical closeness while avoiding eye contact, where they both feel too embarrassed to speak much, really has an incomparable allure!]

[Hold the waist! Why are you touching the knees! Stop being so restrained, I’m barely holding back myself!]

[Don’t force me, even if you force me, I won’t ship them; it’s just that their setup is too appealing, but it’s all fake!]

[Yu Xia comes off as a bit of a straightforward girl.]

[Though it’s clear there’s some awkwardness, their awkward interactions are surprisingly harmonious and natural, sobbing sobbing sobbing.]

[The little brother is probing the sister’s life! My ship will definitely sail thanks to one person’s efforts!]

[So they’re not really familiar with each other, are they? Yet some people say they’ve long been a couple. How could people who are together be so unfamiliar with each other?]

[As a fellow alumni, I can prove! Xie Qingci was the campus heartthrob! The kind you can admire but never touch, and who you can’t find even when you try to meet up during holidays!]

[The show crew is so sneaky; they hang the clues so high just to make the two cooperate, and cooperation means male-female contact, and contact means they’re matchmaking them!]

[Yu Xia actually pulled her brother’s ear! His ears are all red!]

[I’m about to faint from shipping them, the brother is so shy, and the sister seems indifferent but is being slowly won over, isn’t this just like the drama character I’ve always wanted to see?!]

[I heard the period drama they collaborated on also has scenes where the sister torments the brother. I wasn’t expecting it before, but now my anticipation is off the charts!]

[...]

At this moment, a viewer of the program just gave a like beside a comment criticizing Xie Qingci as unworthy of Yu Xia.

Yue Ling looked at him amusingly: "Do you dislike him that much?"

Yu Heng remained composed: "No."

He undid his cufflinks and rolled up his shirt sleeves, then picked a freshly washed grape from the fruit plate to eat.

Yue Ling wouldn’t believe it: "I think you have major issues with him; Xiaxia liking him should be good enough, and she’s not exactly someone with poor judgment."

"True, she just has poor taste."

Yue Ling: "...And what do you think is good taste? Someone like you?"

Yu Heng frowned at her: "What’s wrong with someone like me? Don’t you like me a lot?"

"Get a clue," she chuckled and cursed, "just because I like you doesn’t mean Xiaxia does. What if she doesn’t like your type?"

Thinking about his emptied wallet, Yu Heng confidently said, "Impossible."

Yue Ling was too lazy to argue with his blind confidence: "I think Xie Qingci is quite good. Others offer a normal, ordinary kind of affection, but he’s different; he’s more direct, more willing to put aside his pride, loves fiercely and openly, without reservation, and that might just be what Xiaxia likes."

Yu Heng pulled out the silver lighter from the table and flicked it, causing a flame to leap up.

"Passion will eventually burn out; who can guarantee he will always love like this."

Just like the flame in the lighter, there will come a day when it runs out.

"What if she gets hurt when that day comes?"

Yue Ling thought he was being overly protective: "You underestimate Xiaxia; if she truly likes him, she has her ways to keep Xie Qingci’s affection alive."

Some people are just naturally charming like that.

Yu Heng raised an eyebrow: "Like how you’ve got me wrapped around your finger?"

Yue Ling rolled her eyes at him and withdrew the fruit plate: "If you can’t speak nicely, then don’t eat; I’ll take it to Xiao Yue later."

"No, honey, I’ve only eaten one," he propped his head up, his tone full of amusement and laziness, hooking Yue Ling with his foot making her fall onto him unguardedly, "You’ll leave me once we have a son?"

"You scared the life out of me!" Yue Ling slapped him, "If I were pregnant, you would’ve scared it out of me!"

She was just casually mentioning it, since lately Yu Yue had been clamoring for a little sister, so it was only natural for this topic to come up in conversation.

Although Yu Heng was still smiling, the video in front of him still playing the intimate moments between Yu Xia and Xie Qingci, he glanced at it, suddenly frowned, and began thinking rapidly.

"Why is Yu Xia holding her stomach?"

Yue Ling was confused: "What?"

He stood up abruptly: "Is she pregnant?"

Yue Ling: "???"

With this suspicion, Yu Heng walked two circles in the office with his hands on his hips and couldn’t calm down.

"I knew it! Xie Qingci is no good! Yu Xia is still young, easily led astray to indulge in pleasure by someone like him!"

Yue Ling was speechless, wondering if he’d forgotten that Xie Qingci is actually younger than Yu Xia.

"Are you overthinking it, how could she be pregnant? Would she still agree to participate in this show if she were?"

Yet Yu Heng immediately offered several suspect reasons: "Then why does Xie Qingci keep wanting to carry her? Yu Xia fell and he turned white with worry, and he’s always making sure Yu Xia eats, afraid she’ll go hungry. And who knows what precautions they might have ignored behind closed doors... If he dares give Yu Xia medication, I’ll kill him!"

Taking medicine is never good for the body; Yu Xia used to struggle with swallowing cold medicine, crying at the side of the bed, which made Yu Heng’s heart ache terribly, not to mention taking this kind of medicine.

Yue Ling grabbed him: "Alright, you’re making me dizzy. I’ll ask them when the show is over, Xie Qingci probably isn’t that thoughtless."

She had known Yu Heng for a long time, back when Yu Xia was still small, and she had been the one to teach her about physiological matters.

Moreover—"What if she really does get pregnant without taking medicine?"

Yu Heng’s expression darkened, although he hadn’t said anything, but certainly nothing honest citizens would consider.

"Don’t let your imagination run wild, it’s all your speculation, maybe she’s just simply hungry or maybe her stomach hurts from running—what’s the big deal? Have you been stuck in this office watching teenage pregnancy dramas all day?" Yue Ling teased him.

Yu Heng snorted coldly but only said: "Yu Xia can’t even swallow cold medicine, it always gets stuck in her throat, and she cries until her voice is hoarse for two days. The cakes at home can’t be too hard, why should she suffer any wrongs because of him?"

"Yes, yes, the whole world, you pamper your sister the most. Alright, don’t be mad, let’s get the facts straight before you wrong anyone. Want to head home now? I need to pick up Xiao Yue."

Yu Heng released the breath stuck in his throat and embraced her: "I do."

Meanwhile, on the program, Yu Xia and Xie Qingci remain unaware that they’re about to face the relentless interrogation of the overprotective elder brother.

They were crouched by a side door outside the fourth exhibition hall, Yu Xia rubbing her belly.

Earlier, when they were spotted by the pursuer, she accidentally bumped into a display stand while escaping, causing a brief moment of stomach pain.

Xie Qingci looked at her with concern and asked quietly, "Are you okay?"

Yu Xia waved it off: "I’m fine, I’m fine."
