The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 412: Chapter 412: I Know You Like Me!

Su Mi’s heart skipped a beat!

Could it be because of her own health, there’s something wrong with the baby, and Qingwu doesn’t dare to tell her?

Is that why she’s secretly talking with Shen Zhongshuang here?

“Second Brother, you need to take good care of Mimi in the coming days. She has a fever and can’t take medication, so be extra careful.”

“I know, Qingwu… I was almost scared to death. When I saw Mimi had a fever, I thought something had happened to her and the baby. I had even prepared myself to explain to Mimi if the baby was lost!”

“Thankfully, both she and the baby are fine!”

Qingwu heard a faint breathing sound behind the door and realized it was likely Su Mi.

She raised an eyebrow and said, “In Second Brother’s heart, who’s more important, Mimi or the baby?”

Although it was a somewhat boring question, Qingwu knew Su Mi would care!

Shen Zhongshuang froze for a moment, then chuckled softly.

“Honestly, I never thought we’d have a child. But thinking about having a child who resembles her in the future—it makes me feel so happy!”

“Of course, she’s more important. Even if there’s a child, the child’s importance would only come from being hers. That’s what makes it important!”

“Essentially, it’s her that gives the child its importance!”

The child is important, but only because it’s hers—that’s why it’s important!

“To be frank, at this stage, the baby doesn’t even count as a ‘person.’ From a societal or existential standpoint, it’s just a group of cells. I don’t have any strong sense of connection toward that yet. Maybe as a mother, she’d experience a stronger sense of it.”

“I just feel very happy and blissful that I can marry Mimi!”

Looking at Shen Zhongshuang, Qingwu could feel an indescribable joy and happiness emanating from him!

For Shen Zhongshuang, he was genuinely thrilled about Su Mi’s pregnancy. The idea of having a cute baby and soon stepping into the sacred bond of marriage excited him to no end!

Standing outside the door, Su Mi placed her hand on the handle and gently pushed the door open.

“You’re here?”

Shen Zhongshuang immediately stepped forward and picked her up.

“Why did you come out? Couldn’t find me? Next time, just press the bell, and I’ll come immediately! For now, let’s get you back to rest!”

Su Mi looped her arms around Shen Zhongshuang’s neck and quietly said,

“I’m not a patient… Qingwu’s sweetheart is still watching!”

“It’s fine, Qingwu’s one of us! Qingwu, Pei Jue said he’ll be here soon, so your Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law will head out first!”

Qingwu found it amusing and waved her hand, “Mm, got it.”

Leaning against Shen Zhongshuang, Su Mi murmured, “I really am scared of marriage, worried it might turn out like my dad’s…”

“I understand. If you’re truly that afraid, we don’t have to get married. I’ll talk to my parents about it—it’ll be fine.”

Even now, Shen Zhongshuang didn’t want Su Mi to feel pressured.

“You don’t understand! I actually do want to marry you.”

“When you proposed last time, I almost agreed. Then I avoided you afterward because I was worried I’d lose control and keep asking when we’d get married—it’s really embarrassing.”

At that time, Shen Zhongshuang thought Su Mi had regretted agreeing to date him!

He hadn’t expected this to be the reason!

Su Mi fidgeted nervously, drawing small circles on Shen Zhongshuang’s white coat.

“Doctor Shen, actually, when you confessed to me, I was really happy! But my personality isn’t the best, so I worried you wouldn’t be able to handle me…”

Su Mi’s personality was such that only facing someone she truly liked would make her feel unworthy of them!

Placing her onto the bed, Shen Zhongshuang leaned close to Su Mi’s face and whispered, “I understand. I can tell from the way you look at me—you’ve never lied.”

No matter what she said, her eyes couldn’t deceive.

Every time Su Mi looked at him, her gaze was gentle and tender, like a pool of spring water—soft, dreamy, enticing, and made him want to drown in it.

“I know you like me, Mimi.”

Someone as smart as him wouldn’t fail to notice whether the girl he liked returned his feelings!

Because he was certain Su Mi liked him, Shen Zhongshuang was willing to embrace all of her!

Su Mi held his face and kissed him softly.

“It’s love, Doctor Shen!”

Shen Zhongshuang’s smile deepened on his face.

…

In the emergency stairwell, Qingwu was just about to leave when she heard a noise from upstairs.

The sound of the stairwell door closing was loud.

Wen Youjie glared at Ju Ming and said in frustration, “Ming-jie, don’t you like Chairman Pei? Then tell him the truth about that Shen Qingwu!”

“That woman is no good—how can you bear to let the Pei Family be deceived by her like this?”

Ju Ming furrowed her brows and sneered, “Wen Youjie, do you think I’m an idiot?”

“What do you mean?”

“Do you not understand the kind of family the Pei Family is? Or are you pretending to be dumb? When the Pei Family looks for a wife, they’ll dig up the ancestors of anyone involved. Do you think they wouldn’t know what kind of person Shen Qingwu is?”

Ju Ming’s gaze toward Wen Youjie shifted.

“If you think I’m a fool, fine! We’ve known each other for years—I don’t want things to get ugly. Just walk away and don’t come to find me again!”

Wen Youjie hadn’t expected Ju Ming to discover her deception so quickly!

Ju Ming was utterly fed up.

Ever since Wen Youjie started badmouthing Qingwu, Ju Ming had sensed something was off.

She even went to Madame Pei herself, gossiping about Qingwu. But what she got in return was an educating glare from Madame Pei, followed by a scolding that nearly left her unable to show her face!

She’d almost been sent packing right back to her hometown.

Madame Pei gestured toward the family’s estate and said with intimidating composure,

“Do you really think the master of this estate is an idiot? Even someone like you who can tag along with A Shu back to the family—you’ve been investigated thoroughly. As for that little friend of yours, better figure out who they really are—otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

The Pei Family couldn’t possibly be fools!

Someone as outstanding as Pei Jue would never fall for a despicable woman!

It was only after reflecting on this that Ju Ming realized Wen Youjie had played her for a fool!

Watching Ju Ming leave without a trace of sentiment, Wen Youjie burned with anger!

She grabbed Ju Ming’s arm, “Ming-jie, don’t leave…”

Ju Ming instinctively tried to shake her hand off, but in the moment’s struggle, Wen Youjie suddenly struck Ju Ming’s back with a push, sending her tumbling down the stairs!

“Ahhhh!”

Seeing Ju Ming lying at the bottom of the stairs, bleeding badly and unconscious, Wen Youjie smugly clapped her hands and swiftly fled!

At the base of the stairs, Qingwu turned to Tian Yue beside her and said, “Go help her.”

“Boss, that woman’s always causing trouble for you.”

“She’s also a fanatical admirer of Ye Yi—technically, one of my fans.”

Hearing this, Tian Yue couldn’t help but chuckle.

He walked forward, lifted Ju Ming over his shoulder, and shook his head with a laugh.

“I wonder what she’ll think when she wakes up to find out that the rival she hates—Ms. Shen—is the same person as her idol Ye Yi!”

Qingwu said calmly, “Go investigate Wen Youjie; she might have some issues!”
