Quick Wear: Oh no, the lady is running away with the ball again

Chapter 255 The Living Abandoned Empress of the Cold Palace X The Invading Unruly Buddhist Son 89

The next moment, a big warm palm landed on her lower abdomen without warning.

Yun Qian froze, her mind blank, alarm bells ringing. Although she had long been prepared for the day her secret would be revealed, the feeling of being completely exposed still made her heart beat like a drum. She almost instinctively wanted to take a step back, but the man's hand was like an iron clamp, firmly clamping her waist, leaving her no chance to escape or dodge.

Qi Jueyu slowly raised his eyes to look at her, his expression inexplicably complex. His gaze was extremely aggressive, yet it also revealed a hint of unconcealable joy, like a beast patiently waiting for its prey to fall into a trap, finally getting what it wanted.

"Found it," he said in a low voice, emphasizing each word, as if he was deliberately suppressing his emotions. "I want the answer."

There was a hint of gnashing in his tone, like dissatisfaction, and also like an accusation. However, Yun Qian clearly saw a smile play at the corner of his mouth, and the joy from the heart actually softened his hard features.

He breathed a sigh of relief, his fingers lightly brushing across her belly as if by accident, and whispered, "So that's how it is."

Yun Qian was speechless for a moment, her breathing stagnating. She wanted to say something, or break free from his grasp, but Qi Jueyu's fiery eyes seemed to see through her soul, leaving her with nowhere to hide and no way to refute.

"Did you bump into something you shouldn't have? Are you really crazy? What nonsense are you talking about..."

Yun Qian spoke and argued, trying hard to suppress a heart that was beating like a drum.

"Did I say anything? How did you know I was talking about the child?"

Qi Jueyu chuckled softly. Yun Qian was already on guard and slowly opened her lips to speak, "I didn't say that either. You were talking about the child."

"You're as clever as ever. Whether it's true or not, come back with me and tell me first."

Yun Qian was impatient and a little annoyed. She raised her hand to interrupt him, "When did I ever say I wanted to go back with you? But you, time and again, have ignored what I wanted. If you continue like this, I'll regret coming to this den of wolves and tigers."

Qi Jueyu looked at her steadily, the smile in his eyes was not fake, "You have no conscience. If you don't give birth in seven months, I, Qi Jueyu, will work like a slave for you."

Yun Qian's thoughts shifted. Despite Qi Jueyu's seemingly playful yet testing words, she remained expressionless, lowering her eyelids to conceal her complex emotions. She whispered in her mind, "System, how long have I been pregnant?"

The system, which had been covering its face, came out and quickly gave the answer: "More than three months, one o'clock."

"More than three months..." Yun Qian's heart moved slightly, and a flash of understanding flashed in her eyes. She quickly sorted out her thoughts, and when she looked up again, her expression had returned to normal.

"Seven months later?" She sneered, looking up at Qi Jueyu's blazing eyes. "You're so sure, could it be that you've even figured out whether the baby is a boy or a girl?"

"Let me see, have you thought of a name for your child yet?"

Qi Jueyu's smile deepened, as if he was waiting for her to lose her composure. But Yun Qian didn't panic as he'd expected. Instead, she spoke slowly and calmly, "Qi Jueyu, how could this be possible? What woman would get pregnant with a child other than her husband's? I came here to offer you a way out, but you've repeatedly forced me to do what I want. Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon, ready for you to manipulate at will?"

"Qianqian, you'd better stop making me angry. How can you survive?" Qi Jueyu raised his eyebrows, amusement in his eyes. "When you say this, it really has a different taste."

"Then you can try." Yun Qian raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes cold. "What if I say this child has nothing to do with you?"

This statement clearly startled Qi Jueyu, his originally confident expression wavering slightly. But then, a flicker of interest ignited in his eyes, as if he had seen a mystery worth exploring.

"It has nothing to do with me?" He chuckled softly, "As long as it comes out of your belly, it has nothing to do with me." ...

He muttered softly, then slowly approached, a dangerous glint in his eyes, "Anyway, I won't let you go."

"Please go away," Yun Qian said impatiently, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. "Qi Jueyu, you are usually so decisive, why are you so indecisive now? Since you are determined to try it with me, then let's try it. If I don't give birth after seven months, Master Qi must keep his promise and work like a slave for me."

Qi Jueyu looked at her, his deep eyes flickering with emotion. He didn't say anything else, but instead stared at Yun Qian quietly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly chuckled, his voice filled with a hint of hidden helplessness and indulgence: "Qianqian, you are really interesting. It's just..." He paused, his eyes slowly moving down to her lower abdomen, "Do you really think I would believe your joke?"

Yun Qian's heart trembled, but she remained calm and said coldly: "Believe it or not, it's up to you, anyway, I don't have it."

Qi Jueyu seemed to completely ignore her words. He reached out to touch her belly again, but Yun Qian stopped him with a glare. He paused, raised his eyes to meet hers, and a smile appeared in his eyes. "No matter what, don't even think about getting rid of me today."

Yun Qian's eyes turned cold, "What if I insist on leaving?"

Qi Jueyu's smile gradually faded. "You asked me to cease fighting. Is the only condition you can offer me to send Qi Heyao away? It's too little to get rid of me with just this."

Yun Qian hesitated for a moment, clenched his teeth, and curled his fingers slightly. Indeed, what he said was true, but...

"I can make you the future monarch, what else do you want..."

"I have no interest in being emperor."

Yun Qian was completely furious at this point, and his tone suddenly rose a degree, "Why did you raise an army if you have no interest?"

Perhaps out of anger, Yun Qian pushed him, and actually pushed him, as if the person in front of her was a light paper man. Just when she stood up and wanted to leave, her hand was tightly held.

Qi Jueyu's beautiful eyes blinked slightly, "I wrote to Yun Piao earlier, I want you."

Now, it was Yun Qian's turn to be speechless. She turned her head away uncomfortably as the man stared at her. Right and wrong were always viewed very differently by different people. From her perspective, there was no way she would abandon her family and rebel for a prince who was "not legitimate."

In his opinion, he would think that the lover who had made a promise to him had indeed let him down.

But Yun Qian wouldn't think too much about it. No one can be perfect in everything they do. "Just give me a definite answer. Otherwise, I won't be completely helpless against you."

Yun Qian looked into his eyes with a mysterious look, the threat in her eyes was self-evident, but Qi Jueyu just chuckled softly.

"Is your bargaining chip the little groom you picked up? Lu Zheng."

The sour taste in the words is really disgusting.
