Chapter 451 - Ignorance is The Best Excuse (1/2)

”No, I didn't…” Li Manni shook her head, refusing to admit. ”That was genuinely coffee, but it was a special breed I especially bought. It's not some poison. Lui, it's okay if you don't love me, but you can't make me be a scapegoat of such heinous crime.”

Lui leaned on his side. His dark eyes never opened once… until a long time later when he slowly opened them. Those eyes were void of emotions. The corner of his lips curved and then fell. It was slightly cold with a hint of bloodl.u.s.t.

”I'm asking one last time. Who does the child belong to?” Chu Lui was unexpectedly calm, but this made Li Manni even more fearful and petrified.

”The child is yours, yours!” Li Manni hugged her stomach tightly. She couldn't admit it. Otherwise, she would lose everything, without even a sliver of chance left for herself. There was a possibility that Chu Lui was deceiving her. He was least used to 这种惟事而非的手段吧,[a]Yes, she must hold her ground.

”Let's go to the hospital. I believe the doctor can prove whose child it really is. Don't think that we can only do a DNA test after the child is born. Even though it's just one-month old, it's still possible. Don't ask me how; the doctor will know.” Chu Lui was tired of this. She still wanted to 将这孩子赖在他身上吗[b] at this point? He was infertile so how did she get pregnant?

”No. I don't want to go to the hospital. I'm not going!” Li Manni cowered. It almost looked like she was becoming one with the corner of the wall. She didn't want to go to the doctors, and she definitely didn't want to go for the stupid DNA test. No way in hell.

Song Wan sat up. She took a deep breath to regain composure, and then her gaze landed on Li Manni. ”Ah Lui, I don't want to see her anymore. I'm tired. Let her leave.”

Li Manni deceived her and her son to the point where they were unable to have any more offspring.

”Mother, please believe me.” Li Manni knew that Song Wan was the most softhearted. She almost dashed forward to Song Wan. She wanted her trust and support.

However, Du Jingtang shifted in front of Song Wan. Idiot. Was she expecting to take his aunty or her baby's life by rushing forward like that?

Song Wan gestured for Du Jingtang to move. She still sat on the sofa as her gaze flitted across Li Manni and then landed on an unknown place.

”Manni, I thought I treated you very well, even better than Xia Ruoxin. I was never considerate towards her, but I treated you like my own daughter. I've never let you down, but what about you? Tell me, what have you done? I really hope I was wrong, but am I? Manni, can you swear that your child belongs to Ah Lui? Can you swear that you've never done anything to let Ah Lui down?

”Do you dare to? Tell me, do you?”

”I…” Li Manni's lips parted and closed, but she could not say a word.

”I swear…” The words just left her mouth when she saw Song Wan sat up.

”Li Manni, you shouldn't swear an oath without meaning it. Otherwise, you'll really get struck by lightning.”

Li Manni trembled uncontrollably. She placed a hand on her stomach.

”I don't know. I really don't know.” She clenched her fist. ”The baby could be that man's, but it could be Chu Lui's, too.”

Song Wan could only shut her eyes in resignation. She understood everything now. 'I don't know' was indeed the best answer, but it also shed light on the situation.

Du Jingtang's heart went out for Song Wan. She had cared for him since young. Everything his cousin received, he received one, too. Looking at her current state, it was no wonder he felt bad for her. If his mom found out about it, she would definitely burst out in tears.
