Chapter 1 Pregnancy Test

Waiting for pregnancy test results felt like an eternity.

Fifteen minutes later, Serena did not wait for the second bar.

God forbid, the horse was reined in on the edge of the cliff.

She stood up, wrapped the pregnancy test stick and packaging in paper towels, and stuffed them into the compartment of her bag.

After doing all this, she let out a sigh of relief.

James was on a business trip for half a month and returned in amazing condition.

Serena didn't get out of bed and didn't eat much all day long. Serena woke up and woke up from sleep. He clicked on his phone in a daze and found that it had been more than twenty-four hours since he broke it.

She searched the whole room but couldn't find contraceptive pills, so she had to go downstairs to buy them, and swallowed them as soon as she left the supermarket, not knowing if it was too late.

What if I get pregnant? This question made her restless for a whole month.

It stands to reason that it has been three years since Shen Xubai died , so it would be okay to have a new relationship.

But...will her new relationship allow her to give birth?

The answer is of course no.

Their relationship is already messy enough, and if another person is killed, the world will really be in chaos.

James just wanted to take revenge on her and would not involve himself in it.

Serena turned on the faucet and washed her hands. She washed her hands harder and harder, and her hands turned red. There was half a pool of water in the sink, which vaguely reflected her face, which was pale, thin, and nervous.

Too ugly.

She raised her head and saw that the bathroom in the Forrest family's old house was spacious, bright and magnificent, and her exhausted face was reflected in the huge mirror.

Three years, when will it end?

Serena calmed down and readjusted her expression. There was a family dinner in the old house today, and there was a room full of relatives and friends. She couldn't stay too long.

After leaving the door, she took a deep breath and walked towards the banquet hall on the first floor.

The Forrest family holds family dinners at least once a quarter. Mr. Shen loves fun and values his family. After the death of his eldest son Shen Xubai, he is even more concerned about his family, so even she, an unpopular person, has to attend.

If Shen Xubai was still alive, would everything be different?

Yes, it will be different. If he could live this long, they wouldn't get married, then...

"ah!"

One hand wrapped around Serena's waist from behind, and the other covered her mouth. A solid chest instantly pressed against her back. The faint scent of fir then reached the tip of her nose. Serena was stunned. He was dragged into a room next to the corridor.

The man pressed her against the door, and a harsh voice rang in her ears, “Sister-in-law, I miss you so much."

"James!"

"This is an old house, I should be called fifth brother."

"You also know this is an old house! Is this how you treat your elders?"

James sneered in the darkness, “An elder who is two years younger than me? How do you look like an elder now?"

As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue and licked it.

Serena's whole body trembled, and he let out a sob.

"Serena, don't disgust me."

"Who is disgusting who?!"

There was only moonlight coming from the window in the room, and James was facing away from the light. Serena could only see his outline, with his stiff hair sticking out and his suit pulled into a weird shape. He must be in a bad mood.

Serena took a breath and said, "Fifth brother, let me go first."

She called her fifth brother as she was told, but failed to please him. James's grip on her wrist tightened, and he even raised something with his free hand.

"What is this, sister-in-law?"

Serena turned her eyes. She couldn't see clearly under the moonlight, but the shape was clear at a glance, and her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

Seeing that she was silent, James smiled and said, “Pregnancy test stick, sister-in-law, are you going to help the old Forrest family?"

"James!!!"

" Hey , Sister-in-law, did you hear anything?"

Outside the door, very close by, the voices of the four younger siblings rang out, and Serena's face turned pale.

James quickly put her in his arms, turned around, and leaned his back against the door.

"No, what's the sound?"

"It seems that someone called the fifth brother's name."

"The fifth brother is now the chairman and president of Jincheng Group. There are so many people calling his name today. Is there anything strange about it?"

"No, I am...forget it, maybe I misunderstood. Let's go."

The footsteps sounded again and soon became quiet.

Serena was held firmly in James's arms, listening to his heartbeat, which was beating very fast and obviously very nervous.

Therefore, compared to being arrogant with his words, he is more honest with his body. He is worried about being exposed.

Serena couldn't tell what she was feeling. She heard herself saying impatiently, “They're leaving. Can you let me out?"

James slowly turned around. This time he faced the moonlight, and Serena saw his bright eyes clearly.

"What was found?"

"What do you want me to find out?"

The man's heart beat faster again, and Serena said again before he could speak, “No, I'm not pregnant, don't worry."

"You think I don't want you to get pregnant?"

Serena closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them again. She looked at James and said calmly, “Does this question make sense? Can you marry me, Mr. Shen, or the fifth brother?"

The fifth brother was silent for a moment and then said with a smile, “Sister-in-law is right."

Serena's chest froze , and he pushed the man away and said, "Today is a family dinner. Give your dad some face. Don't make anyone disgusted."

After saying that, she turned the door handle and opened the door.

The corridor was empty, so she took the opportunity to walk out and quickly walked down the stairs. The atmosphere of the banquet came to her face. The servant aunt saw her and smiled and said, “Madam, the second lady is looking for you urgently. Flower Hall.”

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Shen Qingxiang, the second eldest son of the Forrest family , hugged her arms enthusiastically when he saw her, and kept saying, “Where are you running? You have to cooperate with me later. I have to get back from that girl, otherwise I will The name of the Sparrow God is gone!”

"Sure, I'll try my best."

There were relatives at the mahjong table. Seeing Shen Qingxiang inviting Serena, the three younger siblings laughed first, “Okay, I've found a helper."

Serena hurriedly sat down and started playing cards, listening to their chatter.

"If you ask me, how can the Lu family compete with our Forrest family? I can only advise her to look away. After all, the fifth brother did a bit too much, and the grabbing of the land was a bit unfair."

"There is no such thing as genuine in business. You didn't notice that the old man didn't say a word."

"Of course the old man won't say anything. Jincheng Group has developed so beautifully in the hands of the fifth brother in the past few years. Who doesn't say that Mr. Shen is better than a master? I said back then that Makino is a more suitable successor than Xu Bai!"

The third younger sister was quick to talk. Shen Qingxiang poked her with his elbow before she reacted and said hurriedly, “Come on, three tubes."

Serena was still smiling. Her mind was not on the cards but in the living room. James came down after they played the second round and immediately became the focus of everyone.

During the conversation, she vaguely heard two words.

got engaged.

She intuitively felt that this word should be related to James, so she became more and more absent-minded.

"Sister-in-law, you... are too direct in giving cards." The third sibling shook her head, "Second sister, I won't accept losing like this!"

Serena came to his senses and said with a smile, “Sorry, I'm not giving you a card, I'm just a little tired."

"Is my aunt's condition still not getting better? Let me tell you, it's better to find another hospital..."

Ding ding ding, the voices of the three younger siblings were mercilessly interrupted by the sound of knocking cups, and everyone turned around.

The fourth brother and sister walked in at some unknown time, holding a glass in their hands, and the thing used to knock the glass looked familiar.

"Everyone, I made a big discovery." The fourth sister said mysteriously, "I picked up a pregnancy test stick upstairs."
