I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child - Chapter 85: I've never done anything ille

Chapter 85 – “I’ve never done anything illegal!” (1)

Ye Zhen got into the car. She was bored stiff as she waited for Lu Beichuan to finish his business.

The temperature inside the car was comfortable, and the blanket was soft and warm. As she gently touched her flat belly, her thoughts wandered. Other than this baby, she couldn’t think of any other reason why Lu Beichuan would chase her to the airport.

The Lu family held a great importance to upholding certain standards and valued the family as a whole over the individuals with successors given more weight. Moreover, Old Master Lu was inflexible on his feudal way of thinking.

At a young age, Lu Shaoren had already started sowing his wild oats. By now, he had countless illegitimate children. In contrast, Lu Beichuan had reached 28 without getting married. This was sure to be a source of worry for Old Master Lu and Mother Lu.

Was there any older generation that didn’t want a house full of descendents?

As for the so-called love at first sight, she always believed that this was merely an excuse conceived by men after falling for a woman’s physical appearance.

She had only been talking with Lu Beichuan for less than half a month. Love takes time to develop.

The idea of love at first sight, or the idea that love takes time to develop. Both ideas were about love.

Lu Beichuan was such an astute and crafty man. How could he have developed feelings for her, a comparatively immature and inexperienced woman, after a short period of interactions?

Ye Zhen truly didn’t think she was that charming.

And so, after thinking it over, she thought that it was the baby that Lu Beichuan valued.

The opening of the car door interrupted Ye Zhen’s train of thought. Lu Beichuan sat down in the back seat next to Ye Zhen and ordered to chauffeur to drive.

The driver raised the privacy screen to separate the front of the car from the back.

After the screen was up, the inside of the car immediately fell to silence.

As the Bentley was smoothly driven forward, the scenery outside the windows quickly retreated. Ye Zhen couldn’t figure out what the man sitting next to her was thinking. She quietly coughed to break the awkward silence.

She asked, “Does Old Master know that you came here?”

Today was Lu Beichuan’s wedding. Even if she was only counting the Lu’s extended relatives and business partners, it wouldn’t be okay to slight these guests. Shouldn’t Old Master Lu haven’t gotten angry and prevented Lu Beichuan from leaving the wedding?

“The Lu family is under my control right now. Old Master’s words aren’t as effective anymore. He can’t stop me from doing what I want.”

Ye Zhen’s heart skipped a beat. Why was the plot going smoother than it had in the novel?

In the novel, after Lu Shaoren was put into prison by Lu Beichuan, it had taken Lu Beichuan half a year to seize full control of the Lu family. But now, Lu Shaoren had only been arrested a few days ago, and the Lu family had already fallen into Lu Beichuan’s hands.

“So, you shouldn’t think about leaving my side. I don’t want to have to come to the airport a third time to bring you back.” Lu Beichuan had been managing the Lu family’s business for a long time, so he was used to bossing people around and speaking to everyone as if they were his subordinates.

Shortly after saying this, he felt that his tone wasn’t right. He glanced at Ye Zhen’s expression, cleared his throat, and softly said, “You’re pregnant with the Lu family’s child right now, and you’re my wife. You’ve taken care of me for such a long time too. I need to properly pay you back.”

This was returning generosity with enmity!

Ye Zhen suppressed her feelings and stayed silent.

If he really wanted to pay her back, he should send her away.

Why would she want to be the villain’s wife, who would be doomed to a lifetime prison sentence?

“You’re not worried that reporters will write negative articles about you for having a wedding so soon after you dad was prosecuted by the police?”

“The guilty deserve to be punished.” Lu Beichuan indifferently said, “He was the one behind my car accident from a year ago. He bribed my chauffeur to fake a problem with the car to cause the car accident. If I wasn’t lucky, I would have already died.”

“He was the one behind it?” Ye Zhen was truly shocked. “He’s your dad… even if he acts poorly usually… He’s your dad. How could he…”

In the novel, the real reason why Lu Beichuan had sent Lu Shaoren to prison had never been made clear, much less the evidence that Lu Beichuan had used to prove Lu Shaoren’s guilt.

“The evidence is conclusive and he admitted his guilt.”

“What you’re saying… If it’s all true, why don’t you…”
