Chapter 1: You Must Be Mistaken

I've never seen much of the world, and in all my life, I've only ever loved one face...

— Epigraph

"Classmate, you're six weeks pregnant."

"What the heck? You've got it wrong, I came here to see a doctor, not for a pregnancy" Yu Xi abruptly stood up from her chair, her originally fair and jade-like face flushed with a noticeable hint of red from agitation.

"..."

The doctor's mouth twitched.

Then...

"Yu Xi!" The deep male voice from behind her carried an unspeakable chill.

Behind the girl, the tall figure leaning against the wall originally had a lazy demeanor like a cat, but at that moment, his exceedingly beautiful countenance had stiffened, and the perfect lines of his face tensed up. His cold and gorgeous eyes emitted an eerie light for a time.

The doctor looked at the two persons in surprise, the woman so beautiful she didn't seem real, and the man whose handsomeness bordered on the demonic. With his perfect features and towering stature that seemed to look down on all living beings, if these two were to have a child, that child would no doubt be gorgeous.

But having a child with such a man, why did this young lady look as if she'd swallowed shit?

"You must be mistaken, how could I possibly carry Gu Linhan's child? Look at his effeminate manner, does he look like he can father a child? Besides, we've hardly even... been in contact!" Yu Xi exclaimed in grief and anger, as if she hadn't noticed the man behind her.

The handsome man's face before her instantly turned even darker.

"Got it wrong, have I? We've hardly been in contact, you say?" The man's cold voice reminded her from behind.

She had been blocking his doorway early in the morning, and the first thing she said upon seeing him was, "Gu Linhan, do you have a contagious disease? Look, I've caught it from you, and now I feel really unwell."

At that moment, he wanted to strangle this damn woman.

But likewise, he hadn't expected that she, Yu Xi, a person who seemed to wish him dead upon meeting, could actually be carrying his child...

Yet now, what was this woman saying again?

He was effeminate?

"Have you forgotten our last intimate encounter? It was the night you had just returned, and you couldn't wait to get drunk and cling to me." Gu Linhan's lips, still irresistibly sexy at this moment, carried a shallow smile that could make one's blood boil with anger as he uttered such aggravating words.

The doctor and the nurse felt incredibly awkward on the side.

There was really no need to clarify such details in this setting.

Yu Xi's face immediately turned beet red.

He had the nerve to say it!

What exactly had he done to her that night while she was unconscious from the alcohol!

"You... Cling to you, my foot, with how frail you are, could I even do that?"

The doctor on the side cast a surprised look at Gu Linhan; to be so handsome and yet... well, nobody's perfect...

Gu Linhan's face darkened again, "If you don't stop spouting nonsense, believe it or not, I'll help you 'recall' right here, right now!"

One month ago, Yu Xi returned from abroad, and following a welcome-back party, she woke up to find herself in Gu Linhan's bed.

Gu Linhan had always been reckless and arrogant, a synonym for tyranny. In the entire Z country, he was a notorious figure. Born to the legendary Gu Family, the number one family in Z country, he grew up with a golden spoon in his mouth, always in the limelight. Ever since his school days, his name had topped the list of every woman's dream lover.

Yu Xi had known of him since primary school, yet as long as they had known each other, they had been at odds for just as long.

If it weren't for mutual friends, she would prefer not to see him at all for the rest of her life.

That morning, when she saw him appear before her as she rose from the bed, she felt as if she'd been dogged by bad luck.

In the month that followed, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and her body felt increasingly unwell. She knew it must be related to him because her discomfort had started after that incident. So, Yu Xi blocked Gu Linhan's door early in the morning, demanding he spend money to take her to the doctor!

But, although she was feeling unwell, how did it turn into this!
