A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Brother-in-law, you lied to me!!!

Lu Yang just took out his phone.

Then I discovered the message that Li Xiaochen had sent me.

His heart skipped a beat.

Wait, what's this kid doing here?

The second message followed immediately.

Brother-in-law, I just asked the lady at the pharmacy, and she said what you bought wasn't cold medicine at all!

Lu Yang was stunned.

Li Xiaochen's messages kept popping up.

The shop assistant told me personally that you bought pregnancy tests, two boxes, one box costs eight yuan, and the other box costs thirty-five yuan.

[Brother-in-law, confess! Tell me, who did you get pregnant with? You even bought a pregnancy test?!]

Lu Yang's temples throbbed twice.

He never expected that this guy would directly ask the medicine seller.

He thought for a moment, then replied: "Xiao Chen, I have a friend, and I told him I bought it for him. Would you believe me?"

What kind of friend of yours would require you to personally buy a pregnancy test?

[A close friend.]

Male or female?

[...male.]

The man used a pregnancy test?!

That woman.

You actually bought a pregnancy test for a woman?!

"..."

Lu Yang paused.

Okay.

No matter how I try to explain it, it doesn't make sense.

Li Xiaochen sent three more messages in a row.

[Brother-in-law, don't try to fool me. Does my sister know about this? I'm not trying to be mean, but... well, if you're seeing other women, I'll tell my sister directly.]

[You'd better think about it carefully. If she finds out you've gotten another woman pregnant, knowing her personality, you'll be utterly ruined!]

"..."

Looking at this series of messages.

Lu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth.

Is it possible that the woman who got pregnant might be your sister?

He is now facing a problem.

Tell Li Xiaochen the truth?

Given that kid's big mouth, he'll definitely turn around and inform Song Qiulan.

Song Qiulan knew they were taking a pregnancy test.

Even if the result is that she is not pregnant.

That changes the nature of the matter.

I estimate I'll have to move here tomorrow.

Because in Song Qiulan's eyes, testing meant there was a possibility.

I can't say.

I absolutely must not tell.

Just at this time.

Li Xixue noticed that Lu Yang's expression was a bit strange.

She couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Lu Yang took a breath and turned to look at her: "Your brother."

Li Xixue's brow twitched slightly: "Xiao Chen? What did he say?"

Lu Yang replied directly, "It's nothing serious, I just ran into him when I was buying medicine."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xixue was immediately dismayed.

"Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile?"

"What can I do?"

Lu Yang shrugged: "Well, we just happened to run into each other."

Li Xixue's face immediately darkened.

"So, he saw what you bought?"

"No, I hid it."

"real?"

"But something unexpected happened halfway through."

"What accident?"

"He went directly to the medicine seller."

"!!!"

Li Xixue instantly lost her temper.

News about Li Xiaochen is still popping up.

[Brother-in-law!!! Say something!!!]

I'm telling you, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I'm calling my sister right now.

You have thirty seconds left.

Lu Yang glanced at the message on his phone screen, his finger hovering for a moment.

Thirty seconds.

This kid even started a countdown for himself.

"What should we do?"

Lu Yang looked at Li Xixue.

Li Xixue's expression changed several times.

"He knew everything?"

"I don't know everything either."

"So what does he know?"

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "He only knows that I bought a pregnancy test, but he doesn't know who it was for."

Li Xixue gripped the corner of the pillow tightly.

"He absolutely mustn't find out about this, otherwise..."

Lu Yang didn't even need to guess; he answered directly, "My mother-in-law will move in tomorrow under the pretext of taking care of me."

"It's good that you know."

The two looked at each other.

Even if they test negative now, given Song Qiulan's obsessive desire for a grandson, it's uncertain whether she'll actually think that way, and she might even personally supervise the construction.

Then Li Xiaochen's messages kept popping up.

[Ten seconds already, brother-in-law!!!]

Five seconds!!!

Time's up! I've made the call!

Lu Yang was about to type a reply.

Li Xixue reached out and took Lu Yang's phone directly.

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

What are you doing?

Li Xixue ignored him and typed four words directly in the chat box.

Let's discuss the terms.

The other end went silent instantly.

About five seconds passed.

Brother-in-law, what do you take me for! How could you possibly bribe me? That's my own sister! My sister, born of the same mother, my dearest and most beloved relative!

Li Xixue remained expressionless and continued messaging Li Xiaochen: "Didn't you want to start a business recently? I'll invest ten million in start-up capital for you."

Brother-in-law, what kind of person do you take me for?!

[Twenty million.]

Blood is thicker than water!

[Thirty million.]

Brother-in-law, to be honest, my relationship with my sister isn't actually that good...

What about the pregnancy test?

【What pregnancy test? I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't see or hear anything today, and I didn't even leave the house.】

Li Xixue handed the phone back to Lu Yang.

"nailed it."

Lu Yang took the phone and looked at the message on the screen.

Is this a real-life example of someone who's incredibly perceptive?

Are you sure you can handle this?

Lu Yang looked up at Li Xixue again.

Li Xixue leaned back on the sofa, hugging a cushion, her tone indifferent.

"He is the younger brother of my dearest friends and family; no one in this world knows him better than I do."

"What if he changes his mind?"

Li Xixue closed her eyes and leaned her head against the back of the sofa.

"He wouldn't dare."

Why?

"Because if he dares to tell anyone, not only will he lose 30 million, but I will also personally refuse funding for every business he starts in the future."

Lu Yang remained silent for two seconds.

Ok.

They truly are siblings.

At that moment, Lu Yang's phone vibrated again.

Li Xiaochen.

Brother-in-law, one last question.

Lu Yang glanced at the message but didn't reply.

Another one.

That pregnancy test... is it for my sister?

Lu Yang thought for a moment and typed a few words.

Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask.

Okay, brother-in-law, don't forget about the investment.

I won't forget, and you shouldn't forget what you promised.

【You can rest assured, brother-in-law. I, Li Xiaochen, am extremely tight-lipped; I'm absolutely certain I'll keep my mouth shut.】

After replying to this message, Lu Yang locked his screen.

Suddenly, Li Xixue asked, "What was his last question?"

Lu Yang hesitated for a second.

He asked if the pregnancy test was for you.

Li Xixue's expression instantly turned sour.

"He won't believe it."

Lu Yang was stunned.

Why?

"His acceptance of the money only means he won't tell anyone, but it doesn't mean he won't think about it himself."

Lu Yang frowned.

"What should we do then?"

"Let's ignore him for now."

Li Xixue took a breath.

"If he really wants to investigate, there's no stopping him, but as long as he doesn't tell my mom, it'll be fine."
