That time, she accompanied her father and mother along with Quan Sicheng on a visit to Quan Mansion.
Shi Yaoguang was lying on the couch eating fruit, and she seemed to be deliberately protecting her belly at the time.
At the time, I thought nothing of it, but looking back, it now strikes me with a dreadful realization.
Shi Yaoguang, she…
Couldn't be…
Pregnant, right?!
The mere thought sent her heart into a frantic race.
If Shi Yaoguang were pregnant, what was she to do?
The reason Quan Sicheng was considered to be the future heir to the Quan Family was predicated on the absence of a biological son from Quan Jinbei.
If Shi Yaoguang were pregnant, could Quan Sicheng still secure his position as the heir?
If Quan Sicheng lost his status as the future heir of the Quan Family, then...
How could she continue her relationship with Sicheng?
Poverty would bring untold misery to a marriage; without the status of heir, would their relationship really last till the end?
