Chapter 1275: Chapter 1268: Discovery (6) Chapter 1275: Chapter 1268: Discovery (6) Lu Weixi’s menstrual cycle had always been regular, around forty days, lasting six or seven days each time. By her calculations, they had been separated for three months, and today barely aligned. Additionally, the minor scrape that occurred upon arrival, combined with Lu Weixi’s instinct to protect her stomach first thing, had made him somewhat hesitant.

During menstruation, the body tends to be cold-sensitive and also experiences nausea and vomiting, so if it was her period, the timing would indeed match up.

Lu Weixi, however, gave him a glance and spoke indifferently, “This has nothing to do with you.”

Qin Zhiyou was no fool. Had Lu Weixi directly admitted it, he would not have been suspicious. It was this ambiguous response that fueled his doubts.

Suddenly, he grabbed Lu Weixi’s hand; she was startled and tried to shake it off, but found that Qin Zhiyou was gripping it too tightly to break free.

“Tell me, is it your period?”

Lu Weixi kept her lips sealed, refusing to speak, and Qin Zhiyou’s eyes sharpened, “Not talking, huh? Let me check for myself.”

He dragged her towards the washroom, checked the wastebasket, found no sanitary pads, nor any scent of blood: “It’s not your period. Then what’s with the nausea and the first instinct to protect your stomach in the car accident? Tell me!”

“Why should I tell you!” Lu Weixi lowered her voice and forcefully shook off his hand, “We are already divorced, Mr. Qin. We have no other relationship. I only agreed to have dinner with you today because you asked me to, out of old times’ sake. You have no right to interfere in my life!”

But Qin Zhiyou’s expression turned frighteningly sharp, “I asked just one question, and yet you respond with so much. Clearly, you have something to hide!”

He grasped Lu Weixi’s arm directly, and although she struggled, “What are you doing, let go of me!”

Qin Zhiyou spun around, his words piercing straight to her heart: “Do you want me to shout it out here? Do you want grandfather and everyone to know what happened?”

Perhaps it was the gravity in Qin Zhiyou’s tone, or perhaps that sentence had burst the bubble on what she had hoped to conceal, but Lu Weixi, startled by his uproar, didn’t immediately resist and allowed Qin Zhiyou to drag her upstairs.

Upstairs was their former bedroom. Qin Zhiyou brought Lu Weixi into the room and then closed the door behind them. Lu Weixi still wore a displeased expression, “What exactly are you trying to do?”

“I should be asking you that,” Qin Zhiyou seemed to suddenly find courage. He reached out, clasping Lu Weixi’s head in his hands, making her look him in the eyes, “Tell me, are you carrying my child right now? Are you pregnant?”

Lu Weixi felt bewildered; she hadn’t anticipated that the first person to guess her pregnancy would be Qin Zhiyou. They had been apart for three months; in all that time, they had virtually no communication and hadn’t spoken a single word–how could he suspect just from seeing her throw up a couple of times?

“What are you talking about, I just have a stomach condition,” Lu Weixi tried to knock his hand away, but Qin Zhiyou wouldn’t let go, “Three months ago, the night before we parted, after you left, I found out we made a hole in the protection. By then you had already gone and blocked all my contact methods, so I couldn’t even notify you, let alone think it was so easy for you to get pregnant. I didn’t expect that perhaps that night we could conceive a child. Wei Hui, this is our child!”
