The King’s Enchanting

Chapter 1691 - 1704: Reasons (3)

However, with such lack of confidence, Jian Anning clearly did not believe him. Not only did Jian Anning not believe it, even Situ Xuan lightly scoffed when hearing this: "For Anning? Let me just ask one thing, is Anning pregnant? You’re accompanying a young woman to buy maternal and infant supplies, and you have the nerve to say it’s for Anning? Or is it the young lady beside you who’s pregnant with your child?"

"What are you talking about?" Chen Qinruo was shocked, "Do you think I’m the one who’s pregnant?" She pointed to her nose, then chuckled, "Oh my, how old am I? I don’t even have a boyfriend, how could I be pregnant?"

"Why not? I distinctly heard Mom say one day, ’If you’re only a month pregnant, you can’t drink tea.’ And that day, the only one taking tea leaves from home was her. Today, you brought her to buy maternal and infant products. Explain to me, what is this all about?"

Jian Anning spoke very urgently, yet her tone remained calm. Yu Zexiao could explain: "It’s really not her who’s pregnant, it’s her sister! Her real sister!"

Chen Qinruo laughed too: "Yes, my sister got married three months ago, didn’t I send you wedding candies back then? She had a honeymoon baby, and it’s just over a month now. My sister is used to drinking tea, but since she’s pregnant, she can’t have strong tea, so I thought of giving her that fruit tea from that day."

She thought for a moment, then explained: "If you don’t believe it, we can go to the hospital and check. Whether pregnant or not, isn’t it easy to find out?"

That’s true, no matter how much they try to manipulate, whether she is pregnant or not is easy to ascertain. Jian Anning frowned slightly, as if believing it’s really not her who’s pregnant. However, not being pregnant doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on between the two of them.

As expected, Situ Xuan was quick to attack first: "So what if she’s not pregnant? Not having a child now doesn’t mean there won’t be one in the future! If your heart’s drifting away, having a child outside is only a matter of time!"

"Situ Xuan, don’t slander me out of thin air!" Facing Jian Anning, Yu Zexiao lacked confidence, but when facing Situ Xuan, he was absolutely assertive.

"Slander? Have you looked at what you’ve done!"

Just as they were about to argue, Jian Anning quietly spoke up from the side: "Zexiao, go ahead and say it. You two were in contact privately before, I know. Don’t be afraid to admit it; today, I purposely made time for you two to meet. Do I need to explain how busy and hard your work is? Yet, you still find the time to go shopping, to accompany— her to buy maternal and infant supplies. Don’t tell me you did this because you were too bored at home."

"I..." Yu Zexiao was left speechless by her words. He wanted to explain but held back for a long time. However, at this moment, Jian Anning’s words completely stunned him: "And it’s not just maternal and infant supplies, is it? Didn’t you two go to the jewelry counter together to pick out engagement rings?"

This time, Yu Zexiao was completely shocked: "You, you saw it all?"

Jian Anning laughed coldly: "Don’t tell me you were picking out engagement rings for her sister!"

Seeing that she had seen even this, Yu Zexiao had nothing left to hide. He nodded and said, "I was buying the engagement ring, of course, for you."
