Lu Yu overheard her boyfriend telling a friend that he wanted to get all his playing out of the way before marriage so he could settle down afterward. Besides, he'd been dating Lu Yu for over a year, and all she allowed was hand-holding and hugs. She wouldn't even let him touch her, insisting they wait until marriage, like some chaste martyr. Didn't she have needs? Didn't he?
His mother wasn't all that pleased with Lu Yu, either. She thought Lu Yu's family background was ordinary and that they weren't well matched.
Taking her out would make him look bad. He was already wondering whether to break up with her and find someone else.
She never expected her boyfriend to be one person to her face and another behind her back. Heartbroken, Lu Yu drank herself into a stupor and accidentally slept with her boyfriend's uncle.
She dismissed it all as a mistake. Then, three months later, she stared at a test result and discovered she was pregnant with quadruplets.
Fu Nanli, heir to the Fu family, was cold, sharp-tongued, and difficult to get along with. He also kept women at a distance. Rumors claimed he had some secret kink.
Either he was impotent, or he preferred men.
Only Lu Yu knew just how potent he was.
As a reproductive medicine doctor, Lu Yu knew how hard it was to conceive quadruplets. Her constitution was unusual, too. If she had an abortion, there was no telling whether she could ever get pregnant again.
Just as she was hesitating, Fu Nanli booked an appointment with her.
She began the consultation as usual, assuming it was a case of mistaken identity and giving it no further thought. As she put on her gloves, she told the person who had just walked in, "Take the beaker next door. When you're done, write your name on it and leave it at the front desk..."
Then she looked up and met Fu Nanli's amused gaze.
Fu Nanli said, "Miss Lu, don't you know whether there's anything wrong with me?"
As he spoke, his gaze drifted down to her slightly rounded belly. "Is my daughter doing well?"
