She’s pregnant?

The news hit Shen Luo’an like a grenade. He was caught completely off guard. All his defenses crumbled into a mindless heap.

She’s pregnant? Ye Youyou is pregnant?

It was a long while before Li Jinnan could react. He burst out in hearty laughter. “She’s pregnant! If that’s the case, regardless of what Guan Yanhong does, and whatever connections he pulls to try to harm her, it’ll be impossible for her to be sentenced to death!”

Lawyer Ye responded with silence when he heard that.

When most men heard that, their reactions were usually, “What? She’s pregnant? I’m going to be a father!”

Why was Li Jinnan’s reaction so different? His first thought hadn’t been about the child, but that the child’s mother wouldn’t have to die.

Li Jinnan’s heart beat sped up. He couldn’t contain his excitement, but logic prevailed over his emotions. “She must be well taken care of. I don’t care if you have to pull strings or whatever. She has to be protected. I’m worried that Guan Yanhong won’t sit by and let this pass.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Li. Just leave this to me. There won’t be any problems.” Lawyer Ye already had a thorough plan and replied, “I’ll need your cooperation.”

“Alright. I know what to do.” The smile on Li Jinnan’s face slowly ebbed off. His eyes turned to ice as he said, “Regardless, that is my woman and my child. I will not let them stay in prison for too long.”

My woman and my child. His woman and his child.

Shen Luo’an felt as if he were in a daze when he heard that. It was as if Ye Youyou’s dainty and beautiful face was right in front of him, smiling dazzlingly as she followed him everywhere. She had always called him sweetly with laughter in his voice, “Brother Luo’an.”

Over a decade has passed by in the blink of an eye. They had loved each other, romanced each other, and hated each other. From the time they had gotten married to the time they divorced, each step they took and each day they shared flashed before his eyes.

Even though they were already divorced, Shen Luo’an’s heart had never really felt that they were truly apart. Now, as he stood facing the joy that radiated forth from Li Jinnan, he suddenly felt as if he had been rudely awakened from a dream.

Nothing was the same anymore. The young lass with two pigtails who had always shadowed him everywhere he went and called him “Brother Luo’an” was no longer around. She had become another woman. It was he, Shen Luo’an, who had pushed her away with his own bare hands.

At this point in his thoughts, Shen Luo’an’s heart grew jumbled with emotions. Wistfulness, joy, bitterness, and pain all swirled together in his chest. It caused an ache that he couldn’t control.

Li Jinnan hung up the phone. When he turned his head, he noticed Shen Luo’an expression and narrowed his eyes.

Before he could say a word, he heard Shen Luo’an give a bitter laugh and say, “Congratulations.”

The joy that Li Jinnan had initially suppressed burst forth again. His lips lifted in a wide smile. It was obvious that he was elated. “Thank you,” he replied.

Shen Luo’an stood up and said, “I’ll make a move now. We’ll communicate via calls if there’s any development.”

Li Jinnan didn’t say much. He stood up and walked Shen Luo’an to the door.

Just as Shen Luo’an was about to step out of the door, he glanced at Li Jinnan. With a chuckle, he said, “Youyou is a good girl. I hope you’ll treat her well.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not a scumbag.” Li Jinnan smiled. “Take care.”

Shen Luo’an laughed and raised his eyes to look ahead. A gust of wind blew over, gently ruffling his hair and irritating his eyes.

He tilted his head down. A tiny reflection of water flashed in his eyes. His voice was hoarse as he declared, “I will do my best. I’m not going to let her stay in jail.”
