Chapter 123: Nan Gong Jue Personally Confirms Her Pregnancy

Nan Gong Jue coldly looked at her, as if looking at a corpse, and said, "Do you think I look like a real fool?"

Qiao An was stunned, "No. But she really set a trap to frame me!"

"Even at death's door you still talk back," Nan Gong Jue said coldly, then suddenly to the bodyguard, "Take her aboard. Find a clinic; one test will reveal it. So she can't still claim it's a frame."

Qiao An heard that, her face turned completely pale, and she almost fainted to the ground.

She was so frightened that she kept stepping back.

Nan Gong Jue stepped forward, "Too scared? Guilty conscience? I'll take you myself. You say the hospital is bribed, then go to a clinic. If you still think the clinic has issues, go to the countryside and have an old Chinese medicine doctor feel your pulse; you'll know."

"Not… I…" Qiao An's tears fell even harder, "But you, this way, are still doubting me, you don't believe me!"

Nan Gong Jue was too lazy to deal with her, felt disgusted, and simply lifted a foot and got into the car.

Qiao An, seeing his resolute demeanor, felt very sad.

Isn't it just… being pregnant!

Just abort it!

She, even while pregnant, wants to be with him, so she really likes him, isn't that enough?

She also never said she would give birth to this child.

He actually just wants to leave like that.

All that previous tenderness and consideration was fake, right?

What, you say you change your face and you just do?

The car was about to start, but Nan Gong Jue suddenly said, "Wait."

The bodyguard was taken aback.

Nan Gong Jue said, "Put her onto another vehicle and head to the rural outskirts."

The bodyguard didn't quite understand, but could only reply, "Yes."

The bodyguard got out, grabbed her; Qiao An was terrified, stepping back, "What are you going to do?"

After speaking, her intuition felt off; she turned to run, still shouting, "I won't let you doubt me! Going for a test means you don't believe me!"

But it was useless; a bodyguard struck her with a palm, knocked her out, and tossed her into the car.

From Kyoto to the surrounding countryside towns, it takes about three hours.

Halfway there, Qiao An woke up and found herself bound, with a black cloth stuffed in her mouth.

Even though she struggled desperately, it was of no use; seeing the bodyguard about to strike her again, she could only stay still.

But inside she was terrified… this calamity is hard to escape?

Why does Nan Gong Jue insist on verification?

Nan Gong Jue obviously wants to verify it himself.

It's not exactly verification.

The evidence Song Huan Yan provided is all concrete.

And she may have even more.

Nan Gong Jue is thinking that if he doesn't take Qiao An to verify, she will never be able to argue again.

Afraid Qiao An would turn around and abort the child, then claim she never was pregnant.

Therefore, he can't give Qiao An that chance.

Qiao An woke up again, lying on a bed, her wrist being held.

Startled, she sat up sharply, immediately pulling her hand back to cover, and in terror asked, "What is this for?"

After speaking, she finally saw the person holding her hand.

It was a man about sixty years old.

Qiao An widened her eyes.

The old Chinese medicine doctor looked at Nan Gong Jue and said, "This girl is indeed pregnant, but the gestation is still early, about less than a month."

Qiao An's face instantly turned ghostly white.

Nan Gong Jue glanced at her, "What else do you want to argue?"

Qiao An opened her mouth, like a dying fish, opening and closing, but not a single word came out.

Nan Gong Jue's expression was extremely cold, and said, "Leave. Go back."

Having said that, he turned and left.

The accompanying bodyguard asked, "So we just leave this woman here?"

Nan Gong Jue said, "Put her in the car; after returning to Kyoto, you can dump her anywhere."

The bodyguard lowered his head, "Yes."

Having said that, he stepped forward to grab Qiao An.

Only then did Qiao An come to her senses.

She looked at Nan Gong Jue's back, feeling even his back was cold.

Before… so gentle… so used to her.

Such a good man, also outstanding and wealthy, how did she lose him?

Qiao An instantly felt extreme remorse, but… it was already too late.

She is pregnant, proven.

"Wait. Wait." Qiao An got out of the bed, pushed past the bodyguard, and rushed forward recklessly.

She went up and knelt at Nan Gong Jue's feet, sobbing and choking, tears streaming, and said, "Husband, listen to my explanation!"

Nan Gong Jue coldly lowered his eyes, "Still call me husband? The evidence is false! Don't plaster gold on your own face! Are you still thinking my head isn't green enough, that Big Turtle hasn't been thorough enough? Qiao An! How dare you, really?!"

Finally this sentence, Nan Gong Jue shouted out.

Her voice was hoarse, the pain pierced her heart, even her eyes turned red, as if tears were also forming.

Qiao An was frightened and also shocked.

She truly hadn't expected that the Nan Gong Clan Lord was actually so devoted and attentive to her, and even… cried?

"You shouldn't have accepted when I proposed the Marriage Alliance!" Nan Gong Clan Lord's eyes were deep red, his corners about to split as he roared, "You immediately accepted gladly! Even if you say it was before me, then why did you accept? Why didn't you sort it out first before accepting?! If that were the case, I could still treat it as something that happened before me, I might not hold a grudge! But you… are so malicious!"

As Nan Gong Clan Lord spoke, he could no longer control his emotions and kicked Qiao An in the shoulder, "Get out!"

He knocked Qiao An to the ground.

"No. No, it's not like that. Listen to my explanation, I… I want to explain to you!"

Qiao An's anger couldn't surface as she kept crying.

Nan Gong Clan Lord suppressed his nearly collapsing fury, "Fine. You explain."

Qiao An wept with a heart‑wrenching sob, speaking haltingly, "I didn't know. I… I agreed to the Marriage Alliance, everything, everything was connected to you, I only just found out. That… that video had a timestamp, so before that I… I didn't know I was pregnant!"

Nan Gong Clan Lord said, "Even if you didn't know. After you found out, you not only aborted the child but also had to repair the membrane. How do you explain that? Isn't that fraud, deceiving me? The child was already aborted, yet you pretended to be a virgin to trick me! And you still say you're not at fault?"

"No. No. It's not that. I…" Qiao An cried to the point of vomiting, insisting to explain, "I was also afraid, afraid of losing you. I know I'm unworthy of you, I could only… try to disguise myself, make myself appear better, more, more noble. Husband, truly, I didn't intend to maliciously deceive you; I just… just wanted to be better for myself."

"I'm wrong, I'm sorry. Will you forgive me? I really didn't mean to play you. In fact, every day I feel so miserable, so tormented."

"Whose child is it?" Nan Gong Clan Lord asked suddenly.

Qiao An, sobbing as if between life and death, was stunned.

She was dazed for a long while.

"Whose? Won't you say? Or are you too scared to say?" Nan Gong Clan Lord asked again.

Only then did Qiao An regain her senses, and then she sobbed even more, saying, "I… I also don't know!"

Upon hearing that, Nan Gong Clan Lord's anger flared.

But he didn't mention Qin Zi Mo.

He simply said, "You don't know?"

Qiao An cried to the point of nearly suffocating, speaking haltingly for several minutes before clarifying, "Husband, actually I… I was defiled by someone else."

She choked in pain, covering her mouth while sobbing desperately, truly… pitiful.

It was truly tragic.

A perfect victim.

Nan Gong Clan Lord sneered.

If Song Huan Yan hadn't shown him those chat logs, he probably would have truly believed it.

Those chat logs were just… too disgusting.

The two sent each other pictures, and even the text was disgusting.

"What leg‑spreading…"

Nan Gong Clan Lord felt his stomach churn like a raging river, wanting to vomit.

Qiao An, however, seemed to have finally found a perfect excuse, and sold her misery even more pitifully, "You know how many people covet us performers, especially those with a bit of fame. I… I was drugged by someone… I truly, truly don't know who. Husband, I'm wrong, I really am wrong."

"I shouldn't have devised a way to deceive you just to be with you. I should have been honest with you. But…"

Qiao An looked up at the Nan Gong Clan Lord, sobbing with her heart shattered, "I can't be honest; I can't say it. I said, I said, you… you would definitely never want me again. But I… I'm also a victim. I'm sorry, forgive me, I truly can't speak it, I could only think of that method. But I know, I know, I'm wrong, I really am wrong!"

Qiao An didn't reveal Qin Zi Mo, which surprised Nan Gong Clan Lord.

"Protecting him so tightly?"

So, she truly liked the one surnamed Qin, right?

Being with him was only for profit.

Now crying like this, concocting excuses to whitewash herself, also… for profit.

In fact, Qiao An didn't keep quiet to protect Qin Zi Mo.

But once she exposed him, it would be even worse.

Originally it would have been one person collapsing; speaking out would make two people collapse.

Would she speak out, and Nan Gong Clan Lord would forgive her and stop going after Qin Zi Mo?

And exposing Qin Zi Mo would imply she had feelings for him, that it was voluntary.

But saying she was defiled makes her a victim.

So of course she must be the victim.

Seeing Nan Gong Clan Lord remain silent.

Qiao An grabbed his pant leg, "Husband, will you forgive me? I'll immediately, immediately abort this cursed child, and we can live well together from now on. I beg you, don't abandon me, I can be your ox or your horse!"

Nan Gong Clan Lord was shocked; she said it as if it were completely reasonable.

"Abort the child and then live together peacefully?"

"Absolutely absurd!"

Qiao An was convinced that her argument was seamless and flawless, simply perfect.

In sophistry and feigning innocence, she indeed had some talent.

But Nan Gong Clan Lord could no longer endure it, lifted his foot to kick her away, angrily saying, "I did like you, but I'm not an idiot!"

He said that and was about to leave.

But Qiao An grabbed his pant leg again; her eyes were swollen from crying as she looked at him in pain, "You, you like me, and you treat me like this? I'm innocent, I'm a victim, shouldn't you feel sorry for me?"

Nan Gong Clan Lord's worldview was shattered once more.

"What the hell, can a person even say that?"

"She actually still demands that he feel sorry for her??"

Nan Gong Clan Lord sneered in anger, "Looks like you truly are shameless!"

Qiao An, with teary eyes and naive, said, "Husband, I really am an innocent victim. Since you like me… then you should stand on my side."

"Shut up!" Lord Nan Gong snapped.

I really don't know if she's been acting too much.

Qiao An, however, thought her request had no flaw, was reasonable, and absolutely correct.

She is the victim, so the one who likes her would only feel sorry for her "situation."

Shouldn't they help her abort the child, then treat her well and cherish her?

Otherwise, what would that be called "liking"?
