Villain Subdues the Toxic Villainess At the Start - Chapter 95:

Chapter 95: I’m Pregnant—The Child Is Yours:

Su Hao was an orphan—but not from birth. His parents died in a car accident when he was sixteen, and his remaining relatives distanced themselves completely after that tragedy. If he hadn’t divorced Shen Weiwei, perhaps she would’ve noticed his disappearance and gone to the police. But now? He was not only divorced but had left for another city. His death would be nothing more than a quiet disappearance.

In this world, who would bother to care about the life or death of a stranger?

Though Lu Yu felt it was a pity to eliminate Su Hao, he had no choice. If Su Hao refused to cooperate, what else could he do but kill him?

There was no other way.

Letting go of thoughts about Su Hao, Lu Yu turned his attention to the system.

“A Shadow Card? What’s that?”

Curious, he quickly opened the system panel.

[Shadow Card: Grants the host an absolutely loyal shadow assistant. Shadows possess limited combat ability but have strong personal attributes and inherit all of the host’s support-type skills. They are capable of communicating normally and will never betray the host.]

[Note: Support-type skills will be enhanced for the shadow guard after midnight based on the host’s own growth. The more auxiliary skills the host has, the stronger the shadow becomes.]

Reading the description, Lu Yu instantly understood.

So the shadow wasn’t a bodyguard or assassin—it was a support-type assistant.

“Not bad at all!”

He couldn’t help but smile. Right now, what he lacked most was reliable talent—especially someone completely loyal. This card solved a big problem.

“Use the Shadow Card.”

[Ding! Congratulations. You’ve obtained the loyalty of ‘Shadow Assistant Fang Ming.’ The character will contact you within 24 hours. Please keep your phone turned on.]

“Ah… that’s more like it.”

Feeling content, Lu Yu stretched out lazily.

Tonight, the house was empty—his parents weren’t home. The living room was quiet and a bit lonely.

He hesitated, then sent a goodnight message to Qin Sisi, took a shower, changed into a bathrobe, and lay down in bed.

Earlier, he had earned 2,000 life change points from Shen Weiwei. Add that to the points gained from the divorce and killing Su Hao—1,000 and 3,000 respectively—and he now had a total of 7,000 points.

Lu Yu opened the system panel.

Vitality: 36

Mental Strength: 33

Click. Click. Click…

[Ding! Reminder: Attribute points cannot exceed 50 through normal upgrades. Do you wish to spend 1,400 points to increase vitality by 14?]

“Fifty is the upper limit?”

Once vitality hit 50, the plus sign grayed out. So that was the cap for a normal human.

With a shrug, Lu Yu spent 3,100 points to max both vitality and mental strength to 50.

[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve reached the peak of the ‘Ming Jin’ stage.]

He continued spending points:

[Ding! Inner strength purchased for 1,000 points.]

[Ding! You’ve reached the ‘Early Dark Jin’ stage.]

[Ding! Additional inner strength purchased for 2,000 points.]

[Ding! You’ve reached the ‘Mid Dark Jin’ stage.]

As a warm current surged through his body, Lu Yu closed his eyes, enjoying the transformation.

700 points remained.

He decided to buy hacking skills.

Previously, he had relied on Wang Ping. But Wang Ping’s loyalty wasn’t guaranteed. Now that Lu Yu had a shadow assistant, mastering hacking himself was essential.

…

Name: Lu Yu

Age: 23

Height: 175 cm

Weight: 132 lbs

Vitality: 50

Mental Strength: 50

Life Change Points: 0

Inner Strength: Mid Dark Jin

Skills:Danger Perception (Passive), Great Sky Evolution (Master), Fighting (Master), Medicine (Master), Assassin (Proficient), Voice Acting (Skilled), Acting (Proficient), Hidden Weapons (Proficient), Hacking (Skilled)

…

Although he couldn’t afford the points to level up hacking to master level just yet, he was satisfied with his progress. The internal strength section had finally appeared in his stats because his attributes and fighting skills met the threshold.

While he was still checking the panel, he heard a faint sound.

Click. Click.

Lu Yu frowned and sat up, alert.

Barefoot, he walked quietly toward the stairs with the stealth of a seasoned assassin. Thanks to his enhanced attributes, even in the dark, his vision was sharp.

In the dim living room, a familiar shadow stood motionless.

Lu Yu exhaled softly in relief.

Snap!

He flicked on the chandelier and looked down from the second floor.

“Chu Xiaoqiao? What are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to use the front door next time?”

Thank goodness Yang Jian wasn’t around, or things might’ve gotten messy.

“I didn’t want anyone to know I came.”

Chu Xiaoqiao’s expression was pale and anxious.

Lu Yu walked down the stairs and sat lazily on the sofa.

“Alright then. Why are you here? Need money?”

“No… I’m pregnant,” she said, her voice trembling. “And the child… it’s yours.”

“What?”

Lu Yu froze under the bright lights of the living room.

Looking at the petite girl dressed in black standing nervously in front of him, he was completely caught off guard.

“You’re pregnant? And the child is mine?”

He had learned fortune-telling, sure—but he wasn’t a god. Without seeing her beforehand or reading her pulse again, how could he have known?

“Yes! I’ve only ever been with you. Who else could it belong to?”

Chu Xiaoqiao’s voice was filled with resentment.

After Lin Yi randomly grabbed her wrist and read her pulse, she panicked and rushed home to test. The two red lines on the pregnancy stick confirmed it.

She almost broke down on the spot.

She was only nineteen—still in her prime, barely having experienced life. And now she was suddenly going to be a mother? That too, out of wedlock?

How was she supposed to accept that?

At first, she didn’t know what to do. But after some thought, she decided Lu Yu had to be held responsible. That’s why she came to him tonight.

Lu Yu didn’t doubt her story.

Most female protagonists in these kinds of tales would preserve themselves until meeting the male lead. Even if part of a harem, they were loyal. And that night… well, there were no precautions taken.

It wasn’t surprising she got pregnant.

“So… what do you want to do? Keep the child?”

He looked at her seriously.

After all, this was his first child in this world. He wasn’t the type to abandon responsibility when it truly mattered.

“I… I don’t want to keep it!”

Chu Xiaoqiao’s voice cracked. “I’m only nineteen… I’m not ready for this…”

She wasn’t emotionally or mentally prepared to be a mother—especially not from such a situation.

“You don’t want to give birth?” Lu Yu raised an eyebrow. “Then why come to me now?”

“I want you to go with me to the hospital,” she whispered, lowering her head. “I’ve never done anything like this before. I’m scared…”

“You want to abort my child… and want me to come along?”
