Chapter 499 - 23: Concern Leads to Chaos
Seeing her niece in this state, Dong Fei glared at her with a sense of despised frustration, but there was nothing she could do, so she had to step in herself.
She adjusted her expression, her face filled with anger as she exclaimed, "Shen Chi, how could you do this? Meimei is still carrying your child!"
After a pause, her expression seemed to soften as she said, "I know you are deeply in love with Lin Xiaoguai, but aren’t you afraid that if this child becomes known to the outside world, it will affect your promotion? I remember your promotion to the rank of admiral is just around the corner."
This statement was practically a threat. Although the moral integrity of military and political personnel was not as strictly scrutinized as in the past, it should be noted that the higher-ups were suppressing Shen Chi’s promotion and just when they could hardly hold back, if a ready-made reason fell into their lap, they would undoubtedly be happy to take it.
"A child?" Shen Chi finally shifted his attention, completely ignoring the threat in her words, he raised an eyebrow and said, "I haven’t even touched her little finger, are humans capable of asexual reproduction now?"
Without waiting for Dong Fei to rebut, he added, "Even if that were the case, I’m certainly not the father of the child."
"Besides, I had a vasectomy years ago for the sake of Wanwan, and you’re telling me she’s carrying my child?" His tone was filled with mockery.
At the same time, he subtly scrutinized Xu Meimei. He had thought this woman was stubborn but not exactly the type to be scheming. Could he have been mistaken?
Framing him for another man’s child was not something an ordinary person would do.
"What? A vasectomy!?" Dong Fei was stunned, "You’re saying you had a vasectomy?"
