Pregnant with My Ex-Husband's Uncle's Baby

The ex-husband chases his wife until she takes him back | The aloof male lead finally bows his head | Infidelity | Both leads are inexperienced

Blurb:

Cheng Zhilan has been in love with Shen Yuanxi for years. Even knowing his heart belongs to someone else, she still marries into the Duke of Guo's household without hesitation and devotes herself to caring for him, asking only that he spare her a glance now and then.

Until the day the Duke of Guo falls gravely ill and declares that whichever branch of the family gives him a great-grandchild first will inherit his title. Shen Yuanxi gives her a knowing smile, hinting that she could bear a child for another man. If she gives birth to the eldest grandson, he'll save her father, who is imprisoned.

Wounded by his callous suggestion, Cheng Zhilan is overcome with despair. Then, while away from home, she saves her unconscious younger brother-in-law, Shen Yanchen. In a moment of madness, she gives him her first time at a shabby inn.

Once she realizes what she's done, Cheng Zhilan covers her tracks and hurries home in a panic, hoping to pretend nothing happened. But things don't go as planned. Her belly grows day by day, and she seems to have gained an unseen pair of eyes watching her.

Exhausted in body and mind, Cheng Zhilan resolves to divorce. But Shen Yuanxi, who has never cared about her, not only refuses, he furiously demands to know whose bastard she is carrying.

And her icy, aloof younger brother-in-law sneaks into her bed in the middle of the night, touches her belly, and asks who the child's father is.
