Chapter 807: The Disabled Young Master 20

What is a home?

As long as there is even one person who loves him, then even if he lives in a dilapidated thatched hut, that is still his home.

And now, he had met such a person.

After a long while, He Jiantong finally said hoarsely to Tang Wan, “Wanwan, thank you for being willing to love me.”

Thank you for not despising him, for your acceptance, your gentleness, and your kindness.

Tang Wan heard this and gently patted his back. “What is there to thank me for? I just like you exactly as you are!”

Hearing this, He Jiantong couldn't help but curl his lips upward again.

Having her by his side felt so good!

……

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

After Tang Wan went through with the substitute marriage, Chu Pan'er had deliberately found a new maid who was simple-minded and rather slow-witted so that she could conveniently meet Li Shuai in secret.

The new maid was careless and had never even considered the fact that Chu Pan'er hadn't had her period that month.

Chu Pan'er herself didn't know what missing her period meant, either. Every day, she would drug the maid unconscious, then indulge herself with Li Shuai in her own boudoir, becoming completely lost in their passionate encounters.

Li Shuai, however, thought of the matter after another half a month had passed.

“Pan'er, have you had your period this month?” Li Shuai suddenly asked after they had finished their intimate encounter.

He wasn't an ignorant man. Moreover, it wasn't as though he could give Chu Pan'er contraceptive medicine like the madams at the brothels did, or secretly wash her out with medicine afterward. With how frequently they had been meeting in secret, it wasn't impossible for Pan'er to have become pregnant.

……

Hearing Li Shuai's question, Chu Pan'er was somewhat embarrassed.

“Not yet… Why are you suddenly asking about that, Dream郎?” Chu Pan'er asked, puzzled.

In her understanding, men generally avoided talking about menstruation because they believed it brought them bad luck.

Li Shuai's heart sank.

Then he hurriedly continued, “When was the last time you had your period?”

“I think… it was before you and I first met…” Chu Pan'er thought for a moment before answering.

Wasn't that a month and a half ago?

Could it have happened during those few times when he had secretly used incense to knock her unconscious?

For a moment, Li Shuai became nervous as well.

He then took a deep breath and looked at Chu Pan'er. “Pan'er, don't get upset. Listen to me first.”

Chu Pan'er still hadn't understood what was happening.

After all, no one had ever told her about the connection between menstruation and pregnancy.

……

“Dream郎, what's wrong?” Seeing how nervous Li Shuai looked, Chu Pan'er couldn't help becoming anxious as well.

“You might be pregnant,” Li Shuai said.

“Pregnant?” Chu Pan'er froze.

It took her a long while to understand what he meant, and then her face suddenly turned deathly pale.

“Pregnant? How could that be? I… How could I be pregnant?” Chu Pan'er panicked.

She had become pregnant before even getting married. If her father found out, wouldn't he beat her half to death?

Worse still, if the clan found out, they might even drag her away and drown her in the pond!

For a moment, Chu Pan'er tightly grabbed Li Shuai's arm. “Dream郎, what are we going to do now? If anyone finds out, I… I won't be able to live with the shame!”

Losing her chastity before marriage was already a grave transgression. Becoming pregnant on top of that would only make matters worse.

It wasn't as though she didn't know that secretly meeting Li Shuai every night was wrong, but… she simply couldn't control herself!

When her emotions ran high, she naturally ended up embracing Li Shuai, and even more so because he could bring her such blissful pleasure that it felt like she was ascending to heaven.

Whenever she encountered him, it was as though her body no longer belonged to her. She couldn't control herself or think about anything else.
