Chapter 16: Bet“What if I do better than her?” Qin Ran raised her brows and said.

When Zhang Lan heard that, she shrugged and said, “Then I’ll imitate a puppy and call you ‘Master’.”

“Good. It’s a deal.”

“Aiya, I accidentally recorded what you said earlier.” Zhang Lan took out her phone and gloated. “Looks like you’re going to bark like a puppy this time.”

Who said so?

Then, Zhang Lan sent the recording to the high school group and asked everyone to testify for her.

She was truly digging her own grave.

“Alright, Xiao Lan. Sis must be feeling terrible if she did not do well. Don’t say anymore.” Qin Xue took out a red invitation from her bag. “Sis, Dad and Mom insisted on holding a celebration party for me to celebrate the end of college entrance examination. It’s at Tao Yi Hotel. You must come when the time comes.”

They checked the results at ten in the morning and the invitation card was already prepared at noon. Mr. and Mrs. Qin really valued this adopted daughter.

“Sis, you must come. The older brothers at home, as well as Mom and Dad, miss you very much.” How could she let go of such a good opportunity to crush Qin Ran? It would be best if she revealed that she had been kept by an old man at the celebration party. Most likely after that, Qin Ran would never be able to return to the Qin family in her lifetime.

Qin Ran puckered her lips and couldn’t be bothered to speak.

“Sis, I know it’s not easy for you to be alone outside. Regarding your pregnancy, I won’t spread it around. Because we are sisters, you must come to my celebration party.” Qin Xue’s smile was appropriate and her tone was gentle. However, the words she said were clearly a threat. After saying that, she stuffed the invitation card into Qin Ran’s hand and pressed it hard again. “Xiao Lan, let’s go.”

Watching the two of them get into the BMW and drive off, Qiao Tong, who had been silent all this while, looked at Qin Ran in puzzlement and worry. “Qin Ran, are you alright?”

“I’m fine,” Qin Ran said as she tore up the invitation card in her hand and threw it into a rubbish bin by the roadside. Although it wasn’t as feudal as it was in ancient times, they were both daughters of the Qin family after all. The fact that the older sister had gotten pregnant before marriage had a negative impact on the younger sister’s reputation. Qin Ran didn’t believe that Qin Xue had the courage to harm herself for the sake of harming her enemies.

“You’re pregnant?” Qiao Tong asked curiously.

“Yes, but don’t go around saying it.” The reason why Qin Ran didn’t tell her earlier was because she felt that Qiao Tong’s mouth was like a walking trumpet.

Qiao Tong nodded her head vigorously, guaranteeing that she would keep her mouth shut.

After they finished eating, Qin Ran left work at five thirty in the afternoon.

She thought of how Mo Chi had promised her that they would be eating crayfish today and she was really looking forward to it.

Qin Ran got out of the car and was stunned when she saw Mo Chi waiting in front of the door. At this moment, the entire scene was as beautiful as a painting. He stood towards the east and the sunlight at six in the afternoon shone from behind him. It was like a projection that elongated and drew out his beautiful silhouette on the ground. His entire person was also outlined by the sunlight with golden edges.

“What’s wrong?” Seeing that the lass was in a daze, Mo Chi asked doubtfully.

“I’m… I’m fine.” Qin Ran blinked her eyes. Indeed, sunlight tends to favor good-looking people. “Why are you back so early today?”

“Don’t you want to eat crayfish?” In the morning, he promised Qin Ran that they would eat crayfish. However, the more he thought about it, the more worried he became. Mo Chi simply contacted someone and directly went to buy the freshly fished crayfish. He then personally went to pick it up and delivered it to the confinement nanny at home.

Qin Ran understood that she wasn’t alone right now. It was only natural for Mo Chi to put in so much effort for his child.

“Then is it finished?” When she heard about the crayfish, Qin Ran’s eyes lit up.

“They need some more time. Go upstairs and rest first.”

After Qin Ran went upstairs happily, Mo Chi’s phone vibrated. When he saw the number, his gaze immediately turned sharp.

“What’s the result?” Seeing that Qin Ran had gone upstairs and there was no one around, Mo Chi answered the call and asked directly.

“The sample is indeed the genotype you’re looking for.”

Wonderful, thought Mo Chi, as he was delighted to hear this.

Ten years ago, when the doctor said that his genes were special and that it was extremely difficult for him to have babies, unless he was searching for a needle in a haystack, he thought that he was destined to be alone in this life and did not have the delusion of marrying a wife and having children. He never expected that the heavens would treat him well and send him Qin Ran.

The person on the other end of the phone was Dr. Xu from S Research Center. No matter how experienced he was, he was still cautious. Facing the former regiment commander, he was also afraid of saying something wrong.
