A financial crisis swept through, forcing Yan Mo to return home for a blind date. What? Over thirty and still unmarried? Is he a complete straight man? A fake marriage to fool grandpa? Is that some...
So much so that Yan Mo couldn't figure it out even when he was sitting on the way back to Jingyang Community.
"Si Ze, have you noticed that your grandfather seems a little abnormal today?" Yan Mo sat up straight and asked Si Ze who was driving.
"Is there?" Si Ze asked uncertainly.
"Yes." Yan Mo nodded very affirmatively, recalling the scenes of this morning in his mind, and then thinking about what happened after he came to the Si family last night.
Yan Mo suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Si Ze. Mou Ding said:
"What did you tell him last night?"
Thinking about it now, she vaguely remembered that she didn't seem to get an answer from him last night. He must have said something to her, which caused the old man to treat her so differently before and after.
After Yan Mo's reminder, Si Ze also felt that the old man was a little too good to his wife.
Could it be that the old man really took what he said last night seriously? He thought a little uncertainly, otherwise how could he explain the old man's attitude?
Seeing Si Ze thinking for so long, Yan Mo was a little annoyed. He felt more and more that it was Si Ze who said something, so he immediately spoke:
"Tell me, what did you say?"
Si Ze glanced at Yan Mo cautiously and said guiltily, "I promise, I really didn't say anything."
"Hurry up and tell me." Yan Mo didn't want to waste time with him and stared at him closely.
"Cough" Si Ze coughed lightly, and then he was heard saying slowly: "I said you didn't have a good appetite these two days..." At this point, Si Ze paused, looked at Yan Mo's expression, and did not continue.
"That's all?"
A woman's sixth sense, he didn't finish his words, the following words were the key, Yan Mo just crossed his arms, staring at him, waiting for his words,
"A little bit." Si Ze answered honestly. He was completely controlled by this little girl and instinctively didn't want to hide anything from her:
"Nothing, I just said you've been retching lately."
Hearing this answer, Yan Mo breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down in the chair: "Fortunately, they didn't say anything bad about me or that I was pregnant."
Si Ze laughed dumbly. Is this girl naive or stupid? Is there any difference between pregnancy and dry cough? The word disagrees and is the same. He should remind her silently. Thinking of Yan Mo's angry look just now, Si Ze gave up the idea, lest his wife be angry again. Thinking of this, he immediately restrained his smile.
Yan Mo saw Si Ze smile, and at first, she didn't quite understand why. Then, she thought more carefully about what Si Ze had said. When would someone experience dry heaves? Her stomach aches sometimes occurred, but it wasn't something the old man would take so seriously. It couldn't be this reason. Suddenly, she remembered the romance novel she'd read the other day, where the heroine's pregnancy was characterized by a loss of appetite and frequent dry heaving.
"Si Ze, you..."
Yan Mo pointed at Si Ze, who was driving, in disbelief. How could he say she was pregnant with his child? She had only slept with him a few times, and except for the first night, she had been cautious afterwards. How could she be pregnant? It was fine if he just joked with her normally, but now he was telling the old man. Wouldn't that be the same as telling her grandfather? Once her grandfather knew, her grandmother would know too.
Yan Mo didn't dare to think about it. Wouldn't everyone know about it in the end? The problem was that she wasn't pregnant! How could she conjure up a child for them?
Seeing his wife's worried face, Si Ze immediately spoke to comfort her: "Don't worry, wife, grandpa won't tell anyone. In my family, you can't tell anyone about the first three months of pregnancy. They think it's unlucky." He had heard these things occasionally from his elders, and now that this issue was mentioned, he just remembered it.
"But, I'm not pregnant! What will I give them then?" Yan Mo expressed his concern: "And I think your grandfather will definitely tell my grandfather." The two old people talk about everything, how could they not tell each other such a big thing?
Si Ze slowed down and drove the car slowly into Yan's family yard. He unbuckled his seat belt and reached out to smooth her furrowed brows.
"Momo, if you wrinkle any more, you won't be pretty anymore. It's okay, let them say whatever they want. Anyway, we never admitted that you were pregnant. Most of the time, when the time comes, we will just say that they misunderstood."
"No, unless we come out and make it clear now, otherwise, they will still think that I am pregnant." Yan Mo shook his head. Si Ze's method simply wouldn't work. When Mr. Si was young, he was able to build up the huge Zhenghong Group. He was no smarter than anyone else.
"It doesn't matter if it really doesn't work!" Si Ze stared at Yan Mo for a long time, then approached her and suggested again: "At worst, we can work overtime to make one for them. It's a big deal."
Yan Mo was so frightened that he choked. Working overtime to catch one? He thought working overtime was such a simple thing! A child needs to be conceived for ten months, and after birth, it needs to be raised and educated. Especially for a wealthy family like the Si family, with wealth and power, if the education is not good, the emergence of a playboy will not only squander the family fortune, but also harm many people.
He said it lightly. She planned to have children at the end of next year or the year after next. After she opened a shop and it became stable, she would learn everything she needed to learn and be able to cope with future life.
"I don't want to." Yan Mo slowly came over and reached out to remove her hand from her face. He stared into Si Ze's eyes, then suddenly hugged his arm and shook it, saying coquettishly, "Hubby, please help me explain it to the old man! Tell him that we are not pregnant now and we don't plan to have children in the near future, okay?"
Facing Yan Mo like this, Si Ze couldn't say no at all and could only nod and agree:
"good."
She was also sure that she was still young. If she gave birth to a child now, she would lose a lot of happiness. He also didn't want her to be trapped at home at such a young age. Compared to the life with children, he also preferred the current world of two people. Since she didn't want to have a child so soon, then don't have it. The old man could only slowly work on it.
"Honey, that's so nice." Yan Mo kissed Si Ze on the cheek, then opened the car door and got out with joy.
"This girl." Si Ze shook his head helplessly and got out of the car.
The two men walked into the living room one after the other. Everyone in the Yan family had a happy look on their faces and changed into new clothes. Even the old father, who was usually frugal, was wearing the clothes that Yan Mo bought for him two years ago.
Yan Mo sighed in her heart, it was a pity that the best set was worn by her uncle.
"Honey, does this look good on me?" Mu Laomu walked out of the room, patted his clothes, and turned around in front of his wife.
"It looks good." Yan Mo came in, put his arm around grandma's arm, and praised with a smile.
"Auntie, auntie, do I look good?" Tangtang also showed off her treasure, holding up her skirt and spinning around like Lao Mu.
"Tangtang is so pretty." Yan Mo let go of grandma's arm and touched Tangtang's head: "Tangtang, are you ready? Let's go!" As he said that, he was about to bend down to hug his niece.
But the grandma beside him grabbed his arm:
"Momo, you're pregnant now, so be careful. You can't squat, and you can't hold the baby!"
