Lan Qingqing relaxed her guard upon realizing the identity of the person before her—Mo Kai Liang. She scrutinized him under the dim light; he was fairly good-looking, though his skin seemed a bit dark. At first glance, his casual suit appeared unremarkable, but upon closer inspection, there was an indescribable sense of incongruity about him.
It was as if a rural person who had just entered the city had awkwardly donned a formal business suit, creating an uncomfortable mismatch.
Lan Qingqing moved a little closer to Mo Kai Liang, staring intently at him. Her gaze made his face flush a deep shade of red, a mix of black and red that made her want to laugh. Unable to hold back, she burst into laughter and said, "Why are you blushing? Just now, you were sneaking behind me like a creep or a thief!"
Mo Kai Liang stammered in response, "N-no, that's not it! I just wanted to get to know you sooner. My cousin said my primary task in the city is to take care of you until the baby is safely born and then pretend to be your boyfriend for some occasions."
He mulled over his own words for a moment before nodding emphatically, "Yes, that's it."
Lan Qingqing could see the simplicity in Mo Kai Liang; he clearly lacked social experience. The fact that he could accept the idea of being an unexpected father showed just how kind-hearted he was.
She mischievously twirled her eyes and asked, "So do you know whose child is in my belly?"
Mo Kai Liang lowered his head, unable to meet her gaze. He shook his head vigorously and replied, "I don't know. My cousin said we would talk about that later, so I didn't ask."
However, he mustered some courage and spoke up again, "Even though I don't know who has let you down, I think it's admirable that you're brave enough to raise a child on your own!"
Lan Qingqing couldn't help but laugh again, her laughter ringing out like music.
Mo Kai Liang was puzzled by her amusement but enjoyed seeing her smile. He didn’t understand what a plastic face was; all he knew was that Lan Qingqing looked adorable when she smiled—just his type. She resembled the charming little internet celebrities he often saw online.
In his village, if he brought someone like Lan Qingqing home, she would undoubtedly be the center of attention and the pride of all the men! Every household would gossip about how Mo Kai Liang had brought back such a beautiful wife—so stunning that even the village's pigs and ducks would come out to admire her.
Thinking of this made him feel elated. Even if Lan Qingqing was carrying another man's child, it didn’t matter; no one in the village needed to know what he had done in the city. He could boldly claim that the child in Lan Qingqing's belly was his and that they were in love—a perfect way to dispel any rumors about his inability to have children. He couldn’t wait to see who would dare gossip behind his back after that!
Lan Qingqing watched Mo Kai Liang’s silly grin and his expression of unrestrained joy clearly conveyed one thing: he had feelings for her.
She prided herself on being adept at understanding men’s psychology; aside from someone like Zong Jin who was impervious to her charms, she could read whether a man was interested in her through their words and expressions.
After all, she had once taken classes specifically designed to teach how to decipher men’s hearts.
Suddenly, a mischievous thought struck her: since she couldn’t force Ke Wenjie and Tong Le to divorce, she could use this naive Mo Kai Liang to stir up some trouble.
She took the initiative and asked, "Do you want to know whose child is in my belly? You’ll find out sooner or later anyway."
Mo Kai Liang looked at her seriously and quietly.
Lan Qingqing said with a smirk, "It's your cousin's."
As those simple four words fell from her lips, they carried an extraordinary weight of significance that left Mo Kai Liang stunned.
