Tian Xingyun is revealed to be pregnant, and through photos presented by Grandma Huo, she and Huo Shaohua discover they are the parents of the unborn child, conceived during a one-night stand on a cruise. Huo Shaohua is skeptical, but Grandma insists the evidence is conclusive.

Tian Xingyun presented the photographs, revealing her fair shoulder and face.

The man in the pictures was only seen from the back, his face obscured.

Individually, these images held little significance, but when viewed together, they painted a clear narrative.

The photos undeniably depicted them occupying the same bed.

It was evident what had transpired between them...

"What is it that you desire? Name your price," Huo Shaohua's voice was frigid, his lips thin and slightly parted, tinged with anger as he addressed Tian Xingyun.

He had intended to propose to his girlfriend on a cruise that very day, but she failed to appear.

Consuming alcohol, he returned to his room to discover a woman already in his bed.

Mistaking her for a surprise arranged by his girlfriend, he acted without a second thought...

Upon waking at dawn, his hand instinctively reached for the woman beside him.

Instead of a familiar embrace, he was met with a fist, and in that immediate shock, he understood.

The woman from the previous night was not his girlfriend; it was someone else entirely.

He was incensed that some brazen woman would dare to seduce him.

Rather than actively seeking her out, he opted to wait for her to reveal herself.

He knew she wouldn't appear without demanding something in return, and his intuition proved correct.

Despite her arrival over a month late, her calculated approach was evident!

She chose to present herself only after becoming pregnant, and even approached his grandmother first.

A woman of such deceitful intentions!

"What are you implying?" Tian Xingyun's brow furrowed.

Her mind was in disarray; she was still trying to process everything.

The man she had been with that night was, in fact, him.

Therefore, the child she carried was also his. What was she to do about this impending life...

If the villagers discovered she was carrying the child of her enemy, they would surely reject the baby.

"What is your objective? Why have you only appeared now?" Huo Shaohua's tone was accusatory.

"What possible objective could I have?"

"Shaohua, please speak with more gentleness; she is pregnant."

"A woman with such ulterior motives, is the child she carries truly mine?" Huo Shaohua flung the paternity test results at Tian Xingyun's face.

A woman who would resort to any means to secure a marriage into a wealthy family – could this child truly be his?

His suspicion was at an all-time high!

"Pa~"

"You scoundrel!" Tian Xingyun spat with venom, her hand raising to deliver a stinging slap.

His audacity in doubting her was utterly despicable.

She hadn't even begun to voice her own grievances, yet she was being unjustly accused.

This day was proving to be exceptionally unlucky; she must have stepped on some incredibly bad fortune.

Once she returned, a visit to the Flower Fairy Temple was absolutely necessary.

To cleanse herself of this day's ill luck!

"You!" Huo Shaohua glared at Tian Xingyun, his fury ignited by her audacity in striking him.

This woman was becoming unbearable!

"Oh dear, try not to agitate yourself. Be mindful of the fetus," Grandma rushed to Tian Xingyun's side, offering words of comfort.

Any harm befalling the precious grandchild within her womb would be a catastrophic loss.

"..." Huo Shaohua was left speechless, looking at his own grandmother. He was the one who had been struck.

His grandmother was tending to the woman of sinister intentions – had she lost her senses!

"I would never bear a child with someone like you!" Tian Xingyun declared with a sneer, casting a disdainful glance at Huo Shaohua.

"Clarify your statement. What do you mean by 'someone like you,' am I truly that sort of person?" Huo Shaohua's displeasure was evident from his expression.

"Despicable and shameless; there aren't enough words to describe a man like you!"

"How am I despicable and shameless? It is you... I haven't even settled the score with you, and yet you dare to strike me!" Huo Shaohua gritted his teeth, struggling to contain his rage.

If he had his way, he would strangle this woman; she had caused him to betray his girlfriend.

This woman was a blight upon his existence.

"Who would even want you? You're merely overestimating your own importance," Tian Xingyun scoffed.
