Chapter 428 Le’s Boyfriend
"This is the only option left for us to address this matter." Andy spoke with greatposure. Charles
remained quiet for a moment and finally epted the solution suggested by Andy, though he was still
torn by indecision. "Let us give it a try."
By the time Andy came downstairs, Nancy had finished preparing the dinner. Seeing Andy take his
leave, Autumn immediately offered him to join them for dinner. "Andy, why not have dinner with us and
then depart?"
"I''m good." Andy smiled at Autumn. "Take a good rest. I have to manage my work."
Andy departed. Autumn found it unbearably boring to confine herself at home. Fortunately, Chris had
promised to apany Autumn for shopping the following day. However, with her impending wedding,
Chris had to attend to many things while finding some time for Autumn as well.
"Autumn, do I look good on this dress?" Chris came out to buy her wedding essentials while Sam was
arranging for what was more important.
"It fits you perfectly." Autumn smiled at Chris. As she looked around, she spotted a maternity shop. And
needless to say, she could hardly resist the temptation to invade the shop right away.
The shop was a new mom''s paradise to say the least. It had the most beautiful and heart-warming
collection of children''s wear. Autumn wanted to pick a few stuff from the shop. Meanwhile, Chris got
worried to lose the sight of Autumn. Finally, she managed to find her in that shop. Chris expressed her
concern, "Autumn, you should have told me you are visiting this shop. I was really scared to find you
missing like this all of a sudden."
"Awfully sorry for that!" Autumn admitted her mistake and then smiled at Chris. "I am greatly attached
to these children''s garments, but I don''t know if it is a boy or a girl. Hence I have no clue as to which
color I should pick for the baby."
Chris too was amazed by the collection of the shop and was tempted to pick just everything for
Autumn''s baby. "Autumn, these are too appealing to choose."
As they were browsing through the collection while talking andughing, Autumn caught a glimpse of a
familiar figure—Le.
''How could she be here?'' Autumn wondered.
At that time, Le was absorbed in examining a nursing bottle. She looked up to call an attendant, only
to meet Autumn unexpectedly. Le braced up to greet Autumn.
"Autumn, it seems we have not met each other for ages." Le said with greatposure.
Le looked much more beautiful, dressed in simple clothes.
Upon seeing Le standing in front of Autumn, Chris challenged Le, "What on earth are you doing
here?"
"It is just a coincidence!" Le nced at Chris naturally. "Lower your guard. I do not harbor any ill-
intention against Autumn."
"You are unworthy of our trust!" Chris looked at Le rmingly and shouted, "Keep a distance or

suffer the consequence."
Le felt greatly wronged and spoke to Autumn in a soft tone, "Autumn, please forgive my deeds that
had caused inconveniences to you. Now, Ie to realize that Mr. Lu, though excellent and capable, is
not a suitable man for me. And I have high regard for my present as well."
Le''s im, though seemingly sincere, was not received with Chris''s trust. "Anyway you are nothing
but a slut with sweet talks."
Le felt much embarrassed at Chris''s condemnation.
Autumn drew back Chris and mediated, "No more of such disputes and quarrels."
Autumn was satisfied with Le''s removal from Shining Company, finding it unnecessary to incur any
trouble again.
Thus Autumn stayed an unperturbed and calm mind while meeting Le again.
To Autumn, Le seemed to be someone insignificant and irrelevant.
Le regarded Autumn with respect and humility, "Autumn, it is a coincidence that we meet each other
here. I swear not to harm you anymore."
As she spoke, Le touched her belly instinctively, which indeed amazed Autumn. ''I have never known
Le being engaged with a man. Why did she pat her belly like this?'' Autumn thought to herself.
"Are you expecting a child?" Autumn asked Le directly.
Le was somewhat stunned to be questioned like this. She said, "How could it be?"
Trying to avoid the eye contact, she excused, "I havee to buy some gifts for a distant cousin, who
just gave birth to a child."
Le was anxious to defend herself, "Autumn, you can put your mind at rest. I will not harm you as
before, as I am living in peace andfort. What I desire most is to keep such a wonderful lifestyle as
long as possible."
No matter how sincerely and candidly Le presented herself, Autumn remained doubtful as ever.
Autumn had mastered Le''s character from the unpleasant encounters with her.
"No more of your defence." Chris found it unnecessary to continue the conversation. "All I expect of you
is not to trouble Autumn again. We would better not see each other to put an end to our feuds. Do you
understand?
Autumn, just forget this unpleasant encounter. Let''s go." Chris drew Autumn''s hand and was about to
walk away, when a figure almost skipping over Autumn headed toward Le, with hot milky tea and
cake in his hand, and talked to Le in high spirit, "I could not find you, though I just took my leave to
buy you a cup of milky tea."
"It doesn''t matter." Le held Burke''s hand affectionately. "Let us go back home."
"Okay." Burke replied with a gentle smile, "I will buy some ingredients to prepare a sumptuous meal for
you. Would you like it?"
"I just love it." Le smiled at Burke.
Autumn watched Le romantically attached with Burke. ''When did Le begin her rtionship with
that young guy?'' Autumn thought to herself.
Chris remained perplexed too and, on the way back home, spoke to Autumn, "It was amazing to learn
of Le being engaged with such a man."
The man was handsome and attentive to Le. Autumn expected Le to cherish the his love.
Next day, Autumn decided to undertake a regr pregnancy test alone, though Charles expressed his
willingness to apany her. At the doctor''s office, Autumn found Anthony busy with routine matters
and was asked to sit for a while.
