- Chapter 58 – Reunion Shen Hechuan schooled his expression and walked over, reaching out to pull down Qiao Le’s shirt that had ridden up to his stomach. “Don’t catch a cold.” “I’m not cold.” Qiao Le’s eyes were glued to his screen, and he used one free hand to lift his shirt up again.

But it also showed just how excited she was about Qiao Le’s pregnancy. “I’m the grandma, then what does that make you?” Shen Zhenghe said with a helpless smile. “The grandpa?” “I was just too happy, okay?” Wu Huilan rolled her eyes at him and handed the report to the old man. “Dad, look—Lele is pregnant. We’re going to have two little babies in the family soon.” Old…

- Chapter 56 – How to Handle It The stack of examination reports and expert consultations was thick. Qiao Le didn’t think much of it when he picked it up, but only remembered the agreement was mixed in when it slipped out—And it was seen by Wu Huilan on the spot. What’s a contractual marriage? Obviously, it’s a fake one. But neither he nor Shen Hechuan dared to say that aloud and could only remain silent. When Shen Zhenghe heard the words “contractual marriage,” he asked aloud,…

- Chapter 55: The Contract Exposed After Qiao Le said he was pregnant, everyone fell silent. Qiao Le knew just how shocking the news was. When he’d first found out, his brain had practically shut down. Even now, his heart pounded as he said it aloud. Wu Huilan and Shen Zhenghe thought they were hearing things. Their minds buzzed and their faces went blank. After a moment, Wu Huilan finally spoke: “Lele, are you joking? Don’t worry, our family is very open-minded. We don’t place much…

- Chapter 54: The Whole Family Is Shocked As the holidays approached, Qiao Le barely had any classes left. He only had two classes this morning, and was done by 10:30. A classmate invited him to hang out, saying a new escape room had opened on the commercial street near campus. If it weren’t for his physical condition, Qiao Le would’ve been interested.

- Chapter 53 – The Second Bouquet of Flowers Shen Hechuan, I’m pursuing you. That one sentence hit with devastating force. Shen Hechuan’s heart felt like the fireworks across the river—brilliant, chaotic, and impossible to calm. Ever since they signed the contract, Shen Hechuan had always taken things slowly, afraid that being too forward might scare Qiao Le away.

- Chapter 52: Confession That afternoon, Shen Hechuan was busy and didn’t notice Qiao Le’s new post on his Moments feed. He opened Moments and scrolled down until he found Qiao Le’s post. The likes were all familiar IDs, his parents, grandfather, Su Qiao, Fang Jiaxu, Judy, Pei Wenjing, Liang Jiayu, and others. It seemed everyone was giving him face. He paused silently for a few seconds, then gave it a like. No sooner had he tapped the button than Pei Wenjing sent him another…

- Chapter 51 – Peacock Display After Judy left, Shen Hechuan called Qiao Le. “You bought me flowers.” Qiao Le’s voice came through the phone, light with amusement. “Yeah. Do you like them? Are they pretty?” Shen Hechuan’s gaze fell on the bouquet in front of him. He reached out and gently touched the vivid petals. A warm, swelling sensation rose in his chest, like being soaked in warm water—pleasant and comforting. “I like them,” he answered honestly. “I wasn’t sure…
