Looking at his mother who was so full of energy, Yang Mingwu sighed imperceptibly.

Sure enough, he knew his mother was pretending.

Yang Mingwu couldn't help but feel a bit disgusted with his mother, and his tone was not very good. "Well, Lingmei likes to eat sour food recently. If nothing goes wrong, it should be a boy."

“Really?”

Mother Yang stared at Qiao Xiaoling's belly, wishing she could cut it open with her eyes to see if there was the grandson she wanted inside. "How long have you been pregnant? Why isn't it showing yet?"

Qiao Xiaoling was stung by Yang's mother's strange look. She subconsciously touched her flat belly and said calmly, "My appetite has been poor recently. I haven't eaten much, so I haven't shown I'm pregnant yet. I'll be fine after some rest."

Hearing this, Yang's mother immediately fell into ecstasy and spun around happily.

"Great! Our Yang family has a successor!"

At that moment, she no longer cared about being angry with Qiao Xiaoling. She walked forward and excitedly grabbed Qiao Xiaoling's hand, with a gleam of ecstasy in her eyes.

"My dear daughter-in-law, you are a great contributor to our Yang family! From now on, I will never force you to cook again. I will cook for you. I will make whatever you like. But I can't let my precious grandson starve!"

In an instant, Yang's mother began to like Qiao Xiaoling again.

It was as if through the shell of Qiao Xiaoling, she saw the eldest grandson she had always dreamed of.

This sudden change stunned all the onlookers around.

Someone who was curious couldn't help but ask, "Old lady, do you still need us to seek justice for you?"

"Yes, if you need it, we can report Captain Yang's case to his superiors tomorrow."

…

Hearing everyone's talk of watching the fun and not minding the big deal, Mother Yang's expression changed drastically. She quickly walked towards the door, waving her cane and angrily saying, "Go away, go away. We don't need you! If I find out you're suing my son, I'll knock on your door!"

Bang!

The gate slammed shut.

The people who were turned away couldn't help but grumble, "Who cares about your family's trivial matters?"

"There's something wrong with Captain Yang's family."

"Wife, let's not bother with the Yang family from now on. If they can't afford to offend us, can't they just avoid us?"

"Wait, am I the only one who's surprised? Didn't Captain Yang just get married less than a month ago, and he already has a wife so soon?"

"Could it be that... the one who actually cheated on her wasn't Tian Xiuli, but Captain Yang?"

Everyone looked surprised, as if they had discovered a new world.

How could it take at least a month to detect pregnancy? Considering how recent the marriage had been, everyone knew the truth.

It seems like these two have been hooking up for a long time!

It seems that Tian Xiuli was wrongly accused of having an affair!

Poor sister-in-law Xiu Li...

Although they didn't know the inside story, everyone was vaguely aware of Yang Mingwu's insidiousness, and secretly made up their minds not to have a close relationship with Yang Mingwu in the future to avoid being plotted against by him.

Yang Mingwu still didn't know that he was about to be isolated by his colleagues...

Bai Ying and Shen Ao were too lazy to gossip with others, so they went back to their room to sleep after watching the fun.

That night, Bai Ying lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She was thinking about something.

If Qiao Xiaoling was really pregnant, why did she dare to drink on her wedding day?

Or did she become pregnant after that day?

But the time doesn't match.

A bold guess suddenly emerged in Bai Ying's mind.

Could it be that Qiao Xiaoling is pretending... ?

Bai Ying couldn't help but click her tongue. If that was true, then Qiao Xiaoling was really bold and wasn't afraid of getting into trouble.

After all... Yang Mingwu is the kind of person who would probably beat Qiao Xiaoling if he knew that Qiao Xiaoling dared to lie to him!

Of course, Bai Ying had no intention of going to Qiao Xiaoling's house to expose her. It was true that she hated Qiao Xiaoling, but Yang Mingwu was not much better.

She would never do anything that would make her loved ones sad and her enemies happy.

At the moment when her consciousness was about to fall asleep, Bai Ying's lips curled up slightly. She wanted to see how long Qiao Xiaoling could keep it a secret...

In the dark.

A strong arm reached out, wrapped around Bai Ying's slender waist, and held her in his arms.

Looking at the woman sleeping soundly in his arms, Chen Ao gently tapped the tip of her round nose, "Little rascal, what bad ideas are you thinking of now?"

“Hmm…”

The itchy feeling from the tip of her nose made Bai Ying wrinkle her nose involuntarily, and her face looked a little more childish.

The smile in Shen Ao's eyes deepened.

Without teasing Bai Ying anymore, the two of them snuggled together and fell into a deep sleep together.

——

The next day.

After breakfast, Bai Ying went to the infirmary to work.

Just as she put her shoulder bag on the table, Hou Yiming came over, opened Bai Ying's desk drawer, quietly stuffed something in it, and quickly closed it.

While doing this, he did not forget to look around to see if anyone noticed.

Um?

Why does Hou Yiming look so guilty?

Bai Ying couldn't help but jokingly said, "Doctor Hou, did you put a bomb in my drawer?"

What bomb?

Does he look like the kind of person who would kill for money?

Hou Yiming glared at Bai Ying unhappily. He was kind enough to help Bai Ying and her husband, but he was misunderstood like this. He might as well have stuffed a bomb in Bai Ying's drawer!

"What on earth is that?"

Bai Ying felt a little confused after being glared at. Without waiting for Hou Yiming's answer, she simply opened the drawer and saw what was inside.
