Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband! Chapter 3 Pregnancy 3
Previously on Step Aside, My CEO Ex-Husband!...
Tian Xingyun carried the Huo Family's twelfth-generation heir, her treasured grandson.
Her anticipation had lasted so long! Finally, a grandson was born.
At long last, she could provide an account to her ancestors.
"Is it you?" Huo Shaohua's piercing gaze unexpectedly landed on Tian Xingyun.
His eyes swept over her entire form, pausing at her abdomen.
Grandma had mentioned a pregnant woman residing in the house, carrying his child and demanding he accept responsibility.
This slender woman?
"It's you!" Tian Xingyun's eyes widened in astonishment; she could finally discern the man's features clearly.
The handsome individual before her was none other than Huo Shaohua.
He intended to raze the village's ancestral flower fields.
To speak of constructing some resort was utter nonsense!
"You remember me?" Huo Shaohua questioned, his eyes narrowing.
"Of course, I remember! You aren't disfigured, are you?" Tian Xingyun retorted with a sidelong glance, considering his question foolish.
"..."
"What brings you here?" Tian Xingyun inquired weakly.
She paused abruptly, a recollection surfacing.
What had Grandma just said? The baby in her belly belonged to Huo Shaohua?
How could that be? It was utterly impossible!
"This is my home!" Huo Shaohua declared, his tone somewhat aggressive.
"Impudent child, why are you speaking so fiercely!" Grandma struck him once more.
"Grandma, do you genuinely believe this woman bears my child?" Huo Shaohua addressed Grandma, his eyes flicking towards Tian Xingyun.
"It is yours; Grandma has conducted a thorough investigation." Grandma's conviction was absolute.
"No..." He was about to protest, but another voice intervened.
"Impossible!" Tian Xingyun vehemently refuted, utterly unwilling to accept she was pregnant with this scoundrel's child.
She had never met Huo Shaohua; previously, he was only someone she saw on screens.
This encounter marked their first meeting in person.
How could she possibly be carrying his child?
"I also find it impossible." Huo Shaohua cast an displeased glance her way.
"She is the woman from that night on the cruise!" Grandma interjected hastily.
"..."
"..." Huo Shaohua and Tian Xingyun exchanged glances, an unsettling chill running down their spines.
A dreadful premonition suddenly gripped them.
"Do you recall now? She is indeed carrying your child." Grandma retrieved the examination documents from Tian Xingyun's hand, presenting them to Huo Shaohua.
Huo Shaohua took the papers and examined them closely; considering the timeline, it must have been from that specific night.
Tian Xingyun took a steadying breath, striving to suppress her rising anxiety.
Could it truly be such a bizarre coincidence?
"How can you prove she was the woman from that night?" Huo Shaohua's icy gaze fell upon Grandma.
That night represented the gravest error of his life.
It was a blemish, a source of shame!
"Housekeeper Liu, fetch the photographs." Grandma had made prior arrangements.
She had anticipated this brat's reluctance to admit paternity, thankfully she was prepared.
Housekeeper Liu had served as the loyal butler for the Huo Family for over thirty years.
Housekeeper Liu swiftly returned with a folder, extracting several photographs.
"Madam." He presented the photos to Grandma.
"These are the definitive proof; examine them for yourselves." Grandma passed the photographs to Huo Shaohua and Tian Xingyun.
Huo Shaohua and Tian Xingyun accepted the photos and began their inspection, their expressions shifting to one of complex realization.
"Grandma, these pictures only clearly show my face; the woman's features are indistinct, therefore, she cannot be the one!" Huo Shaohua countered, raising an eyebrow and smirking.
Grandma snatched the photos back, juxtaposing them and exclaiming with delight, "Now it forms a complete picture!"
The photos held by Huo Shaohua displayed his bare torso and face.
They only revealed the woman's back and her long, dark hair.
