Chapter 1310: Chapter 1303: Probing (5) Chapter 1310: Chapter 1303: Probing (5) Lu’s mom emerged from the room, and Lu Weixi quickly pushed Qin Zhiyou out before she immediately shut the door. Then, leaning against it with her hand on the doorknob, she looked unwilling to move aside but feigned nonchalance, “Mom, why have you come out?”

Lu’s mom looked back at her, and her expression seemed to have noticed something amiss, but when she responded, she continued to pretend ignorance, or rather, it seemed she hoped her daughter would confess what had just happened. “This is my house; is there anything wrong with me moving around?”

Lu Weixi chuckled awkwardly, “Not at all. Oh, there was just a delivery guy who came to the wrong door, so I opened it to check.”

Lu’s mom asked another question, “Did I ask you about opening the door?”

By this point, Lu Weixi pretty much realized she had slipped up. Even if she hadn’t, her mom had definitely noticed something. She simply didn’t want to say it or was waiting for her to speak up.

The mother and daughter looked at each other for a few moments in silence.

After a short while, Lu Weixi took a deep breath, the embarrassed smile on her face now gone. Qin Zhiyou was right; if she decided to keep the baby, she indeed needed to make the decision soon. Whether they got back together or not was secondary, the most critical thing was, she wouldn’t give up on the child in her belly, and she wanted her mother to know right away.

“Mom, I really have something I want to tell you.”

Lu Weixi steeled her resolve, her expression firm, “I… I’m pregnant.”

She had thought that when she revealed this, her mom would be shocked, but she wasn’t. Lu’s mom appeared completely calm, as though what her daughter had just said was nothing more important than “The weather’s nice today.”

Her mom’s expression became slightly stern, “When did this happen?”

“It was during the last medical check-up… They found something unusual, and I went to the hospital for a follow-up today, and it’s been confirmed.”

That previous check-up… that was last week, and then last weekend, she had visited the Qin Family. Lu’s mom asked again, “Is it his child?”

Lu Weixi nodded, “It’s been three months.”

Lu’s mom was just being a bit stubborn; she wasn’t foolish. Her daughter’s recent bizarre behaviors, nausea, vomiting, being cautious with her diet, it all couldn’t possibly be, as she had claimed, just a simple stomach issue.

Moreover, seeing her daughter’s expression and her recent actions, it was probable she had already met Qin Zhiyou.

“What do you plan to do?”

“Mom,” Lu Weixi paused before saying, “When I divorced him, I was truly resolute. After the divorce when you were discharged from the hospital, I really didn’t see him for three months. Although I admit, I haven’t been able to forget him momentarily, I had no intention of getting back together with him at that time. It was later that I found out I was pregnant, and I considered my situation and thought about not needing him, but when I went to the hospital, I really couldn’t go through with it. Mom, it’s my child, and I want to keep him.”

At this stage, Lu’s mom nearly understood everything about her situation. It was impossible not to be shocked, but figuring it out herself and having Lu Weixi confirm it was a completely different matter. And above all, that the child belonged to Qin Zhiyou, they had hardly escaped him and his family, and now they had circled back to them.

“He knows, doesn’t he?”

Lu Weixi hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and then nodded with difficulty.
