Fake Pregnancy? Oops, It’s Real — and So Is the Husband - Chapter 84

“Ah!”

A scream echoed through the forest as Bai Hansui’s voice rang out.

The live-stream audience had just witnessed Bai Hansui tumbling down the slope through the camera feed.

[What the hell?! What happened? Did Bai Hansui just fall down the slope?!]

[Oh my god, is Bai Hansui okay? Someone from the crew, help her!]

[Shen Lai was standing right in front of Bai Hansui, why didn’t she help her?]

[Are you out of your mind? Shen Lai might not have had time to react. Stop with the moral high ground.]

The commotion immediately drew the attention of the other guests, who rushed over to find Bai Hansui lying at the bottom of the slope.

Meanwhile, Shen Lai stood atop the slope, silently observing the scene.

Dai Jingxuan and Tong Miaoling exchanged glances, a strange feeling settling in their hearts.

The crew quickly scrambled down to assist. By the time Huo Chilin arrived, Bai Hansui was already being helped back up.

Her clothes were smeared with dirt, her skin marred by scratches from branches and rocks, she looked utterly disheveled.

Then, as if noticing something, Tong Miaoling covered her mouth in shock. “She’s bleeding on her leg!”

At her words, everyone followed her gaze and saw a small patch of blood staining Bai Hansui’s pants between her legs.

[Am I seeing things? Is that blood on Bai Hansui’s thigh?]

[Wait, why is the blood coming from her thigh? Was she cut there?]

[But her pants aren’t torn, it can’t be from a scratch, right?]

Huo Chilin’s temple throbbed as he stared at the crimson stain, a sinking feeling creeping into his chest.

Sure enough, the next moment, Bai Hansui clutched her abdomen, her face twisted in pain as she weakly cried out, “My baby… my baby’s gone…”

Her words were like a boulder crashing into still waters, sending shockwaves through the crowd.

Everyone exchanged stunned glances, disbelief written across their faces.

None of them had even known Bai Hansui was pregnant.

The live-stream audience was equally shaken.

[Holy shit, Bai Hansui was pregnant?!]

[Since when? She never mentioned it!]

[No wonder she kept complaining about stomach pains during tasks and refused to participate, she was pregnant!]

[Then whose baby was it? Huo Chilin’s?]

[It has to be Huo Chilin’s. Who else could it be?]

[So they had a shotgun wedding?]

But the shock didn’t end there. Bai Hansui suddenly lifted her head, her teary eyes locking onto Shen Lai as she choked out, “Shen Lai… why did you hurt my baby?”

The moment those words left her lips, all eyes turned to Shen Lai.

Shen Lai arched a brow. “Are you saying I pushed you?”

Bai Hansui’s lashes fluttered weakly, tears streaming down her cheeks as she looked pitifully fragile. “If it wasn’t you… how could I have suddenly fallen down the slope?”

[????? My god, did Shen Lai push Bai Hansui?]

[Wait, how is this connected to Shen Lai?]

[Shen Lai went too far! This could’ve killed someone!!]

[I thought it was weird earlier, Shen Lai was right in front of Bai Hansui. How could she not have caught her when she fell?]

[I don’t think Shen Lai is that kind of person. Even if she wanted revenge, she wouldn’t use such an obvious method, right? That would be too stupid.]

[Come on, Bai Hansui is seriously injured. You’re not trying to say she deliberately fell just to frame Shen Lai, are you? Who would joke about their own unborn child?]

The moment Shen Lai saw the expression on Bai Hansui’s face as she deliberately fell, she already guessed what she was planning.

Sure enough, as soon as Bai Hansui got up, she pinned the blame on her.

Huo Chilin frowned and turned to look at Shen Lai. “You’re saying Shen Lai pushed you?”

Bai Hansui nodded pitifully.

Huo Chilin’s expression darkened with conflict. “Could there be some misunderstanding here?”

Bai Hansui looked up at him in disbelief. “Chilin, do you really think I would use our child to frame Shen Lai?”

Huo Chilin’s resolve wavered. He turned back to Shen Lai, his tone grave. “Did you really do this?”

Shen Lai didn’t respond. Instead, she glanced at Bai Hansui, catching a fleeting look of triumph in her eyes.

Bai Hansui’s eyes reddened at the corners as she said tearfully, “I know you resent me for taking your boyfriend back then, but you can’t take revenge by trying to kill my baby.”

She cradled her stomach, her face twisted in pain. “Our child is only two months old. You’re about to be a mother too, how could you do this to me?”

Tong Miaoling, also a mother, naturally empathized. She scowled at Shen Lai, her gaze full of disgust. “Shen Lai, this is too much. Even if you wanted revenge on Bai Hansui, her baby is innocent. How could you be so cruel?”

Shen Lai replied calmly, “Who can prove I pushed you?”

Bai Hansui sobbed, “Are you saying I deliberately fell and risked my baby? Why would I do that?”

“Besides, only you and President Pei knew about my pregnancy.”

Wu Qi interjected in confusion, “What do you mean, Shen Lai and President Pei knew about your pregnancy?”

Bai Hansui slowly lifted her tear-streaked face, looking frail and pitiful. “Last time, when Chilin and I went for a prenatal checkup, we ran into Shen Lai and President Pei. Chilin told them about my pregnancy.”

Wu Qi turned to Shen Lai, silently asking for an explanation.

Shen Lai sneered inwardly.

Just as Pei Jingyan had predicted, Bai Hansui would use this to frame her.

At that thought, Shen Lai glanced at Pei Jingyan, who stood among the crowd with his hands in his pockets, watching the scene with amusement.

In the past, she would have assumed he was just enjoying the show, waiting to see her humiliated.

Shen Lai shifted her gaze back to Bai Hansui and said coolly, “Are you sure I pushed you?”

Seeing Shen Lai’s composed demeanor, Bai Hansui’s heart skipped a beat. Something felt off.

Shen Lai’s reaction wasn’t what she had expected. She had assumed Shen Lai would desperately defend herself, but instead, she was eerily calm.

But then again, it had been just the two of them there. Plus, the live-stream audience had seen Shen Lai “push” her, they could all testify. There was no way Shen Lai could deny it.

Bai Hansui steadied herself and said firmly, “Yes.”

Shen Lai nodded, “Since you insist that I was the one who pushed you, then let’s check the surveillance footage to see who’s really at fault here.”
