"Qi Shifeng, don't you have any sense of propriety or shame? Or are you mentally ill?"
She was truly angry, and unconsciously, tears welled up in her eyes.
He knew she was pregnant, yet he still dared to make physical advances on her.
No, even if she weren't pregnant, he shouldn't have behaved like this.
Seeing her furious expression as if she wanted to bite him to death, Qi Shifeng let out a soft laugh and said something even more shocking.
"What? Touching my own child is considered lacking propriety and shame?"
Actually, he had been extremely angry since that slap.
But the angrier he got, the more he could hold back his emotions. There was even a faint smile on his lips.
Xu Tingyu's face and lips were deathly pale, only her eyes were red. She staggered to get up, but as soon as she left his embrace, she was pulled back.
"You're lying!"
Her mind was in a complete mess.
Three months ago, she found out she was pregnant after falling and losing consciousness.
During this period, she had always been by Qi Ye's side.
So how could the child possibly be Qi Shifeng's?
What on earth did this man take her for?
Even if she had lost her memory, she couldn't have done something like getting involved with two men.
She was certain that this man was lying to her, and her resistance towards him grew stronger.
His embrace made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She had just recovered from a fever. Now, being both shocked and angry, her head started to ache faintly again.
Qi Shifeng watched her in pain, his eyes darkening.
Then he remembered his agreement with Qi Ye, and the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back.
Seeing him just staring at her without saying a word, Xu Tingyu forced herself to calm down. "You're lying to me, right?"
If this child was really Qi Shifeng's, then why was she by Qi Ye's side?
Was there some shady deal between the two brothers?
For some reason, an indescribable sense of grievance welled up in her heart like a breaking dam.
She closed her eyes, trying to sort out the chaotic thoughts in her mind.
However, Qi Shifeng's silence made it impossible for her to calm down. Even with her eyes closed, her long black eyelashes were wet with tears.
Seeing her like this, Qi Shifeng finally softened his heart and hugged her tightly. "Okay, okay, don't cry."
He didn't explain what he had just said. Just looking at her like this, all the anger in his heart vanished.
Xu Tingyu leaned against his hot and solid chest, allowing him to gently kiss away the tears on her eyelashes.
When she calmed down, she realized that his hand had been gently stroking her back. It was just a simple gesture of comfort.
He did this action very naturally, and she actually calmed down under this kind of comfort.
Could it be that there were really many untold stories between them?
Thinking of this, she looked up, wanting to ask him what had really happened during the years they were married.
But just as she was about to speak, there was a knock on the door. "Yaoyao, are you in? I bought you something delicious."
It was Chen Chunyao's voice.
Xu Tingyu immediately stood up from Qi Shifeng's embrace, took two steps towards the door, then turned back and pulled him up from the sofa. "You should go quickly."
But when she pushed the man towards the balcony and remembered that this was the seventeenth floor, she grabbed him again and pushed him into the bathroom.
"Forget it, wait a while before you leave."
After saying that, she was about to open the door.
Who knew that Qi Shifeng grabbed her wrist again, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her on the face.
Then he had a naughty smile on his face.
"What? Do you feel sorry for me and are afraid that I'll have an accident climbing the balcony?"
Xu Tingyu gave him a disdainful look. "Don't make a sound. You may not care about your reputation, but I do."
After saying that, in front of him, she wiped the place he had kissed, locked the bathroom door, and then turned around to open the door.
At the door, Chen Chunyao was sitting in an electric wheelchair. When she saw the door open, she raised the box in her hand.
It was a strawberry cake.
Xu Tingyu couldn't help but smile. "Why did you also buy this cake? We bought one yesterday and haven't eaten it yet."
"We're good friends. You know I like mango cakes, and of course I know you like strawberry cakes."
Chen Chunyao smiled.
Her face was still a bit pale and haggard after losing blood, but she was a popular actress who had made a name for herself in the entertainment industry.
Even so, she was still very beautiful.
"However, we can't finish the cake. How about you take it to Qi Ye's place first? I'll take a shower and then go over."
"Just now Zhang Wan said that Qi Ye wasn't feeling well either. I haven't gone to see him yet."
Xu Tingyu still stood at the door and didn't intend to let Chen Chunyao in.
Her room was very big, and one couldn't see the situation in the bathroom.
Coupled with the fact that her face really didn't look good and the hair at her temples was all wet with sweat, Chen Chunyao didn't suspect anything.
Of course, even if there was nothing unusual about her, Chen Chunyao wouldn't have noticed.
After all, she knew that Qi Ye was in poor health and had long wanted to go and see him.
But she didn't have a proper excuse.
Now that Xu Tingyu had proposed it on her own initiative, she was of course overjoyed.
"Okay, then I'll go and see Qi Ye first."
After saying that, she held the cake and left in her electric wheelchair.
After seeing off Chen Chunyao, Xu Tingyu still carefully locked the door before turning back.
"You should go quickly. I still have something to do. Think carefully about the child's matter and then come to me."
She walked into the bathroom, showing an attitude of seeing him off.
Qi Shifeng obviously had also heard her conversation with Chen Chunyao just now.
Now seeing her come in, his eyes were as cold as a deep pool, with a mocking smile. "In a hurry to see Qi Ye?"
Xu Tingyu was too lazy to talk to him and just used her eyes to signal him to leave.
Qi Shifeng was about to say something else, but his phone in his pocket vibrated.
He didn't answer it. He just touched her face. "Then we'll see each other later."
After saying that, he really obediently walked out.
Xu Tingyu thought he was also going to visit Qi Ye. She frowned.
But these two were brothers. She couldn't stop them from meeting.
So she frowned, took a shower, changed her clothes, and then went to Qi Ye's room.
When she went in, she found that Zhang Wan, Chen Chunyao, Aunt Tian, and the bodyguards were all there.
"Why did you come? How's your body?"
Qi Ye was leaning against the head of the bed, his face pale in a sickly way.
It seemed that those street food stalls yesterday had really taken a toll on him.
"I'm fine. How about you? You'd better go to the hospital for a proper check-up."
She walked over quickly, feeling a bit of indescribable guilt in her heart.
It was she who wanted to eat the street food yesterday. And when this man was feeling unwell, she was still entangled with Qi Shifeng.
Even if Qi Shifeng was her ex-husband and there was a child between them, that relationship was already over.
"I'm fine. I've already had a drip. Come closer. Let me take a look at you."
Qi Ye reached out his hand to her.
She hesitated for a moment. Although she walked over, she didn't sit on the head of his bed but sat at the foot of the bed.
"I still have a bit of a cold, so I won't get too close to you."
