Chapter 432 Underestimating Xuanyuan Xue

Yi Yanran had been preoccupied with how to break off her engagement with Xuanyuan Xun. She couldn't understand what her father was thinking. Despite the fact that Li Moran and Xuanyuan Ming were already dead, and Xuanyuan Xun would have to depend on Yi Jue for his livelihood, her father still refused to help her annul the engagement.

Several times, she had directly expressed her desire to break off the engagement, but instead of receiving Yi Hou's support, she was scolded by him.

After several attempts, Yi Yanran stopped hoping for Yi Hou's help.

Since he wouldn't help her, she decided to find a way to annul the engagement herself.

She found the most secretive, tight-lipped, and efficient detective agency in Nancheng and had them follow Xuanyuan Xun.

Soon, two days later, the detective agency handed over a stack of documents to Yi Yanran.

In just two days, Xuanyuan Xun had dated three lesser-known models, checked into hotel rooms four times, and the various ambiguous and explicit bedroom photos made Yi Yanran nauseous.

This jerk, sleeping around so much, isn't he afraid he'll drop dead from exhaustion one day!

And the women he finds are all kinds of different types, isn't he afraid of catching diseases?

Yi Yanran generously paid the detective agency and, clutching the documents, she marched into the Xuanyuan family's home with an air of arrogance.

Coincidentally, both Xuanyuan Xun and Xuanyuan Xue were there that day. She slammed the photos and various pieces of evidence of Xuanyuan Xun's hotel encounters on the table and got straight to the point, "Let's break off the engagement."

Xuanyuan Xun glanced at the items on the table and exploded in anger, "You witch, you had someone spy on me?"

Yi Yanran twitched her lips, "You can't keep it in your pants, whose fault is that?"

Xuanyuan Xue glanced at the photos, gave Xuanyuan Xun a cold look, and then calmly looked at Yi Yanran, "Third Sister-in-law, what are you implying?"

"Don't call me that to make me sick, I've made it clear—break off the engagement," Yi Yanran said coldly.

But Xuanyuan Xue smiled, "Why end such a promising engagement? You and Third Brother were originally matched by your parents and matchmakers, and didn't you care for each other?"

"Who said I liked him?"

"Then why did you sleep with my Third Brother if you didn't care for him?"

Yi Yanran was stunned by Xuanyuan Xue's counter-question and was left speechless.

Truth be told, she couldn't argue with that.

Whether it was a scam or a trap, it was indeed her who entered Xuanyuan Xun's private room.

She snorted coldly, "Don't play word games with me. Either agree to break off the engagement, or I'll expose this and force you to end it. Your choice."

Xuanyuan Xun clenched his fists, "Yi Yanran, is that a threat?"

"What if I am?"

Xuanyuan Xun panicked.

But Xuanyuan Xue stayed calm. She picked up a photo from the table, her overly pale and sickly face showing a hint of mockery, "Miss Yi, why cause such a fuss? You think my Third Brother isn't good enough for you, that you've been greatly wronged. But aren't you also responsible for what happened that night? In this unwanted engagement, didn't my Third Brother suffer too?"

"If it's so unbearable, then end the engagement," Yi Yanran raised her voice.

But Xuanyuan Xue laughed, tossed the photo aside, and shook her head, "It's too late."

"What do you mean, too late?"

Xuanyuan Xue looked at Yi Yanran, her eyebrows slightly arched, and said coolly, "What I mean is, it's too late for Miss Yi to call off the engagement now. Haven’t you realized yet? You're already pregnant."

Yi Yanran couldn’t believe her ears. "What did you say?"

Xuanyuan Xun was also taken aback.

Xuanyuan Xue continued, "Hasn’t Miss Yi noticed her period is late?"

Hearing this, Yi Yanran suddenly realized her period had indeed been delayed for a week.

But her health wasn’t great, and her periods were always irregular, so this didn’t necessarily mean anything.

She gritted her teeth and glared at Xuanyuan Xue. "I know my cycle, Miss Xuanyuan. You're really well-informed."

"You’re my future sister-in-law, so naturally, I should keep a closer eye on you." Xuanyuan Xue clapped her hands, and a servant promptly brought out a plate of steamed sea bass.

But when Yi Yanran saw the plate of fish and smelled the strong fishy odor, she immediately felt nauseous and retched.

She covered her mouth, turned away, and shouted, "Take it away! Get it out of here now!"

Xuanyuan Xue shot a glance at the servant beside her, and only after the servant took the fish away did the feeling of nausea in Yi Yanran’s chest gradually subside.

But her reaction had already stunned everyone around.

Xuanyuan Xun was completely stunned, and after a moment, he muttered, "Damn, she’s really pregnant!"

Yi Yanran’s face went pale, and she shook her head in disbelief. "Impossible! It can’t be!"

Xuanyuan Xue watched her coldly, her expression distraught, and took out a test report, handing it to Yi Yanran. "Miss Yi, you must have felt unwell a few days ago and went to the hospital for a check-up, right? Here’s your pregnancy test report."

Yi Yanran took the document and looked at it, her face drained of color.

It confirmed she was indeed pregnant.

"No wonder I was curious why I needed a urine test just for a headache. You bribed the hospital, didn’t you?" Yi Yanran shouted at Xuanyuan Xue.

Xuanyuan Xue nodded. "Yes."

"Ha, how do I know this report isn’t fake, made by a doctor you bribed?"

Xuanyuan Xue calmly said, "If you don’t believe it, go check for yourself. But as for breaking off the engagement, I hope Miss Yi will think carefully."

Yi Yanran stared at the calm-faced Xuanyuan Xue across from her and gritted her teeth. "Xuanyuan Xue, I really underestimated you!"

She had thought Xuanyuan Xue, the young lady of the Xuanyuan family, was just a sickly girl who could die at any time, not only unremarkable in appearance but also having no presence in Nancheng, seemingly just an ordinary girl.

But she hadn’t expected her intelligence and wisdom to rival anyone’s.

After saying that, she picked up the documents on the table and turned to leave the Xuanyuan family.

Xuanyuan Xun turned to Xuanyuan Xue. "Just let her go like that? What if she goes back and gets rid of the baby?"

Xuanyuan Xue replied, "She won’t. Yi Yanran has been weak since childhood and has a difficult pregnancy constitution. If she loses this pregnancy, she may never be able to conceive again in her lifetime."

"So that’s how it is. Xue, you really know a lot, even that Yi Yanran is pregnant! This time, it’s really thanks to you!" Xuanyuan Xun said comfortingly. "If the engagement were really broken off, where would my face be?"

Xuanyuan Xue gave Xuanyuan Xun a look of disappointment. "Third Brother, you should restrain yourself in the future. Yi Yanran is not an ordinary young lady who can be easily manipulated. If she really goes crazy, I can’t help you either."

"Don’t worry, don’t worry, I know my limits. Can she really turn the sky upside down?" Xuanyuan Xun patted his chest with great pride. "I really didn’t expect to be so strong, hitting the mark in one go!"

Xuanyuan Xue glanced at him with extreme disgust and disdain, then withdrew her gaze.

Her light brown eyes stared out the window at the greenery, slightly lost in thought, and no one could see through what this quiet and delicate girl was really thinking.
