Fake Pregnancy? Oops, It’s Real — and So Is the Husband - Chapter 46

Although Shen Lai knew Pei Jingyan was deliberately saying this for the cameras, her heart still skipped a beat.

Especially because Pei Jingyan’s expression was so serious, it didn’t seem like a joke at all.

However, the fleeting warmth in her heart was quickly replaced by nervousness.

Shen Lai immediately glanced at the lie detector in Pei Jingyan’s hand, and at the same time, everyone else’s eyes also fell on it.

Yet, after waiting for a long time, the lie detector didn’t sound an alarm.

This meant Pei Jingyan wasn’t lying.

[Ahhhhhhh I knew my Shen Pei CP was real!!!]

[Who understands the feeling of fans being more nervous than the actual couple? Thankfully, BaoBao and MaoMao didn’t let us down!]

[If anyone dares to say Pei doesn’t love Shen Lai again, I’ll shove their head into a toilet to clear their brain!]

[Next time someone tries to stir up trouble, just shove this video in their face.]

This outcome not only shocked Shen Lai but also made Huo Chilin’s expression darken completely. The fists at his sides clenched so tightly they creaked.

He hadn’t been sure before whether Pei Jingyan truly liked Shen Lai, but now he was certain, Pei Jingyan had definitely fallen for her long ago!

But when exactly had he developed feelings for her?

A strong sense of crisis surged in Huo Chilin’s heart, as if something he had casually tossed aside had suddenly been taken by someone else, leaving him inexplicably unsettled.

Bai Hansui’s smile froze on her face, this result was completely unexpected.

How could this be?

Weren’t the two of them sworn enemies? Even if they were married, it must have been for business reasons. So why didn’t the lie detector react?

Could it be that Pei Jingyan actually liked Shen Lai?

A flash of resentment crossed Bai Hansui’s heart, but she couldn’t show it on camera. She could only force an awkward smile and change the subject to cover it up. “Who would’ve thought that despite how much you and Shen Lai used to clash, you’re so in love now.”

Pei Jingyan smiled faintly. “I also never expected that Miss Bai, who used to get along so well with my wife, would now be with her ex-boyfriend.”

Shen Lai’s heart trembled slightly at his words.

She could tell Pei Jingyan was deliberately standing up for her in front of everyone.

She looked up at him, his profile was sharp and composed, the sunlight casting a noble and indifferent glow on his face. In that moment, something in her heart stirred faintly, though she couldn’t quite name the fleeting emotion.

Bai Hansui’s face turned red, then pale, as if she’d been slapped.

Pei Jingyan raised an eyebrow. “Miss Bai, isn’t it my turn to ask a question now?”

Bai Hansui gave a stiff smile. “Go ahead.”

For some reason, looking at Pei Jingyan’s expression, she had a bad feeling.

Pei Jingyan tapped his slender fingers lightly on the table, pausing for a moment before speaking. “Back when Shen Lai was dating Huo Chilin, did you already know they were together?”

Shen Lai’s head snapped up as she stared at Pei Jingyan.

Was he trying to force Bai Hansui to admit she had interfered in their relationship?

But why?

Pei Jingyan didn’t have to involve himself in this at all.

[Damn, I thought Shen Lai’s question was ruthless, but Pei’s is even more savage!]

[Wait, isn’t CEO Pei being too harsh on Suisui? It’s been said she was also deceived, why keep targeting her?]

[Is there a problem with someone standing up for their wife? Besides, if your sister has a clear conscience, answering this question shouldn’t be an issue, right?]

[Exactly! And Bai Hansui’s earlier question wasn’t exactly innocent either, insinuating that CEO Pei dislikes Shen Lai, her intentions are way too obvious.]

[Bai Hansui’s fans are hilarious. Even after being the other woman, your sister never broke up with him. Truly, like attracts like.]

Bai Hansui’s expression froze instantly.

Pei Jingyan’s lips curled slightly as he reminded her, “Miss Bai, it’s your turn to answer.”

Bai Hansui clenched her hands, her nails nearly digging into her palms.

Her throat felt blocked, making it impossible to answer carelessly.

The sight of Huo Chilin getting shocked earlier was still fresh in her mind.

But everyone was watching her. If she didn’t answer, it would mean she had something to hide.

Seeing Bai Hansui remain silent, Pei Jingyan chuckled lightly. “Miss Bai’s silence suggests guilt?”

Bai Hansui bit her lip, her eyes brimming with grievance. “CEO Pei, have I somehow offended you? Why are you targeting me like this?”

Pei Jingyan raised a brow lazily. “So this is what you call targeting? Then weren’t you targeting me just now?”

Shen Lai quickly lowered her head, barely suppressing a laugh.

Bai Hansui still didn’t understand Pei Jingyan, his words were always a weapon, leaving others at a disadvantage. No one had ever managed to outwit him.

No wonder she used to dislike him so much.

Bai Hansui was now utterly humiliated, unsure how to respond.

Pei Jingyan tapped the table lightly with his knuckles and continued, “Besides, it’s just a game. All you have to do is answer ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ Is that really so difficult for you?”

The live chat finally caught on.

Right, wasn’t this just a game? Why was Bai Hansui making it about being targeted?

By her logic, weren’t all the guests today targeting each other?

Realizing Pei Jingyan wasn’t taking the bait, Bai Hansui nearly tore the hem of her clothes in frustration.

But her company had just issued a statement yesterday, so she absolutely couldn’t admit to anything now.

Forcing composure, Bai Hansui maintained a flawless expression. “At the time, I had no idea they were in a relationship.”

The moment she spoke, Huo Chilin’s face darkened.

Earlier that morning, after seeing the announcement, he had confronted Bai Hansui, who claimed she knew nothing about it, that it was all the company’s decision.

But now, Bai Hansui was admitting she had been the other woman.

Didn’t that mean she was throwing him under the bus?

Noticing Huo Chilin’s stormy expression, Bai Hansui’s heart clenched. She pretended not to see it, planning to smooth things over after the livestream.

Huo Chilin would surely understand.

Bai Hansui’s fans, seeing their idol clear her name, immediately flooded the chat with fervor.

[Hansui did great! Slapping them right in the face!]

[Daring to speak up means she’s innocent! Our Hansui is blameless!]

[Clearing Hansui’s name, she’s a victim too! She shouldn’t suffer because of that scumbag!]

[Huo Chilin, stay away from our Hansui! You don’t deserve such a good girl!]

The livestream was completely overtaken by Bai Hansui’s fans, until the next second, when they were brutally silenced.

As the camera zoomed in, the lie detector in Bai Hansui’s hand suddenly lit up, and she was jolted by an electric shock. A shrill scream escaped her lips.

The room fell into dead silence.

Even the live chat went quiet for a few seconds.

The barrage of comments exploded instantly, and the viewer count skyrocketed.

[Holy shit, Bai Hansui lied!!!]

[Didn’t she claim she was unknowingly the other woman? Why did the lie detector go off?!]

[So, she actually knew Shen Lai was dating Huo Chilin and deliberately interfered, right?!]

[Do you really think Bai Hansui, as Shen Lai’s best friend, had no idea who her boyfriend was? That kind of excuse only fools her fans.]

[I was defending her in the comments this morning, what an idiot I was, damn it!]

[Bai Hansui, I’m genuinely disappointed in you. I’m unsubscribing. You and Huo Chilin truly deserve each other!]
