Chapter 1002: Chapter 1006: Grinning from Ear to Ear Chapter 1002: Chapter 1006: Grinning from Ear to Ear Did she kill Ye Xingbei’s entire family in her last life?

In this life, Ye Xingbei wanted to take away all her hope, trample her into the mud, and ensure she would never be able to turn over again.

If it wasn’t for her fear of jail, and even more of death, she would have loved to rush up to Ye Xingbei and stab him to death right now.

But she dared not.

She hadn’t lived enough.

She was still waiting for the next miracle.

She hoped for another Li Qi to appear, giving her the chance to marry into a wealthy family.

She was born the darling of heaven, having enjoyed over twenty years of glory and wealth; she really couldn’t accept living the rest of her life in meager circumstances, like an ordinary person’s miserable struggle.

Suddenly, her stomach cramped up, and an intense wave of nausea surged over her; she opened her mouth violently and vomited.

Then she suddenly thought of something, her eyes, which were initially dull, suddenly lit up.

Could she be… pregnant?

Although Li Qi was very careful, not only did he wear a condom, but he also made her take birth control pills, a double safeguard, she was not yielding as she had been calculating.

Every time, she was the one to put the condom on Li Qi, sometimes with her hand, sometimes with her mouth.

When using her mouth, there was no way, but when using her hand, she would deliberately puncture the condom with her fingernail.

As for the birth control pills, it looked like she was taking them, but when she put them in her mouth, she hid them between her fingers, then drank water, and pretended to swallow.

Li Qi probably thought he was doubly protected and wasn’t very vigilant, which allowed her to avoid taking the pills every time, and she could successfully puncture the condom five or six times out of ten.

Her period was irregular, often skipping a couple of months was common.

This time, counting, she hadn’t had her period in over three months.

So… she was pregnant, right?

Once she had this thought, her legs, which had felt heavy as if lead-weighted, suddenly gained strength.

She clenched her suitcase tightly, hastily moving forward.

She needed to hurry down the mountain, find a pharmacy, and test with a pregnancy test stick.

If she was carrying Li Qi’s child, even if Li Qi wouldn’t marry her, with child came honor; she could still have endless glory and wealth for the rest of her life!

With this thought, she quickened her pace even more.

The next day, Ye Xingbei still woke up to the sweet fragrance of pastries and cakes.

Gu Junzhu and Xiao Shu were no longer by her side.

She indulged in bed for a while, rolling around comfortably, then got up, washed, changed clothes, and called the maid to help move the sweets and cakes to the downstairs living room.

After breakfast, everyone would share some.

The rest would be divided among the bodyguards and the servants.

Although there were still a few days left before the expiration date, they wouldn’t taste good if they weren’t fresh.

After entrusting the cakes to the butler, Ye Xingbei went out to look for Gu Junzhu and Xiao Shumiao.

The butler told her that Gu Junzhu and Xiao Shumiao, along with Senior Master Gu, were all exercising in the back yard.

After thanking the butler, Ye Xingbei went to the backyard and from a distance saw Xiao Shumiao standing with Lingyue, learning boxing from Duan Yanbing.

Gu Junzhu, on the other hand, was practicing Taichi with Senior Master Gu and chatting on the side.

On the branches next to them, two Brother Lius perched.

One kept saying, “Long life and prosperity to the senior, long life and prosperity.”

The other said, “May the senior live to a hundred, live to a hundred.”

Ye Xingbei couldn’t help but smile at the sound.

These were specially bought by Gu Junzhu to show filial piety to Senior Gu; it was said that someone had taught these two Brother Lius for more than two months, and finally one… oh, that’s not right, one bird learned this phrase.

This act of filial piety from the son made Senior Gu so happy when he got them that he couldn’t stop smiling and adored them.
