Chapter 19 – Solid Proof! The Explosive Gossip Exposed!

Zheng Wanqing returned to her room, eager to share the good news with Ye Fei.

Ye Fei replied, “Seriously? So that means we can be together openly from now on?”

“Mm-hmm! Yes, yes, yes!”

“Hubby, I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.”

Zheng Wanqing continued, “Before, in order to hide our relationship and to keep my parents from knowing I was dating… we could only act close in private.”

“Whenever we saw each other at school, we had to pretend not to know each other.”

“I really hated that sneaky kind of relationship!”

“But now it’s fine. My parents already know, so there’s no need to pretend anymore.”

“I just wish tonight would go by faster, so I could see you sooner.”

“Hubby! Did you miss me?”

Zheng Wanqing had always been clingy, and after finding out she was pregnant with Ye Fei’s baby today, she became even more attached to him.

Even though they’d only been apart for twenty minutes, she couldn’t take it anymore.

I really want to see him now!

Twenty minutes earlier, Ye Fei had watched her go into the villa before leaving.

He wandered around a bit and then returned to school.

As soon as he walked into his dorm, he heard his roommates gossiping about him and Zheng Wanqing.

Apparently, some shocking photos had been posted to the school forum around 2:30 p.m.

The entire campus exploded.

Within two hours, the news had spread everywhere.

After all, Zheng Wanqing was the dream girl of many guys at Qingteng University.

She was also the top student—an academic goddess.

Anything related to her drew massive attention.

The photos were taken when Ye Fei and the two sisters met at the restaurant earlier that day.

Some girls at a nearby table had snapped pictures and uploaded them online, Which instantly went viral.

Not only had they taken photos, They also overheard things like Zheng Wanqing feeling nauseous and unwell.

But since that could’ve just been a cold, they didn’t want to risk falsely claiming she was pregnant.

So only the photos were made public.

“See? I told you the guy secretly dating Zheng Wanqing had to be our bro, Ye Fei!”

“Then why did he act so vague when we asked him before?”

“Well, now it’s confirmed!”

“Let’s see what he says when he gets back.”

Just as they were in the middle of gossiping, a voice behind them said, “You nosy guys talking smack about me again?”

“Ye Fei! When did you get in? You scared me!”

They patted their chests and took sips of water to calm down.

Then, straight to the point: “Ye Fei, look at the huge gossip thread on the forum!”

“You’ve been exposed! Still planning to hide it?”

Ye Fei looked at the photos, his brows furrowing.

Isn’t that the restaurant from this afternoon with Zheng Wanyu?

Damn, these people are like paparazzi!*¹

Such pro-level sneaky shots!

No point hiding anymore.

Ye Fei decided to come clean.

“Alright, since you found out, I won’t hide it.”

He sat down on his bed and said, “Yes, I’m Zheng Wanqing’s boyfriend.”

“Told you so!”

“How long have you been together?”

“Not long—just three years.”

His roommates blinked. “Only three years?”

Then it hit them— “THREE YEARS?!”

“Dude! You’ve got to be kidding!”

“You and the goddess have been dating for three years?!”

“Wow, you’re a master of stealth! If not for that photo, we’d still be clueless.”

“Amazing! You actually landed in Zheng Wanqing. When are you treating us to a feast?”

“We’re not picky—just a street BBQ place is fine.”

Ye Fei’s confession left them stunned.

And that wasn’t even the juiciest part!

If the news about Zheng Wanqing being pregnant ever got out, That would be a real shocker!

Ye Fei couldn’t wait for that day to come.

The next morning, around eight,

Ye Fei yanked his still-sleeping roommates out of bed and dragged them to the school gate.

“Ye Fei, do you have no soul?! We were still asleep! Why drag us out so early?”

“What are we even doing here?”

Ye Fei grinned, “You’ll find out soon.”

“She’s coming.”
