Chapter 81: Unease

Reborn on My Wedding Night: This Time, I Won't Fail My Soldier Husband

Dong Shuyao looked up mechanically at Hu Jiaojiao: “Pre… pregnant?”

After saying this, she looked down in disbelief and raised her hand to touch her lower abdomen.

A strange, gentle, warm emotion gathered in her heart, making her unable to stop herself from wanting to cry.

This was an experience she had never had in her past or present life.

This wonderful feeling diluted the fear in her heart quite a bit.

The lenses on Hu Jiaojiao’s nose flashed slightly; she pushed her glasses up and asked as if casually: “Shuyao, do you know Xie Shangjin?”

Dong Shuyao subconsciously shook her head: “I don’t know him.”

If you don’t know him, why were you scared out of your wits just now when you heard his name?

Hu Jiaojiao felt in her heart that it was impossible for Dong Shuyao to know Xie Shangjin.

After all, she was a rich young lady from Beijing, her parents were both in academia, and they were involved in classified projects; even in the mainland, only a very small number of high-level personnel knew about the two professors, let alone Xie Shangjin.

The Xie family were the uncrowned kings of the Hong Kong financial circle and could cover the sky with one hand in Hong Kong.

Xie Shangjin was twenty-seven years old this year; he was a well-known playboy in Hong Kong, but at the same time, he was the most commercially gifted and decisive crown prince in the Hong Kong wealthy circle.

He and Dong Shuyao were people who had absolutely nothing to do with each other.

But these two people, who seemed to have no intersection, had intersected because of a painting.

Intuition told Hu Jiaojiao that things were not that simple.

Dong Shuyao didn't want to talk about it, which had her own considerations, but Hu Jiaojiao had to tell her what she knew.

“The Muse was exhibited at Shen Tai’s gallery on the island. Xie Shangjin saw this painting from somewhere and bought it after some twists and turns. Immediately after, A-Tai was invited to Hong Kong to hold an art exhibition. I always feel like someone is pushing all of this behind the scenes.”

There was no need to say many things so clearly.

Since she was a child, Hu Jiaojiao had seen some unknown perverted hobbies in the wealthy circle with her commander father, and she understood the twisted tastes of some wealthy young masters even better.

If Dong Shuyao was targeted by Xie Shangjin, it might be a disaster for her.

The more she spoke, the more uneasy Dong Shuyao became.
