Duan Ye didn't know what had happened, but the feather duster really hurt when it hit him, so he immediately jumped behind the sofa: "Uncle! What's wrong?! Why did you hit me? What did I do?"

Ding Mao was so angry that his face turned red. He grabbed a feather duster and chased after her, yelling, "You dare to ask? Don't you know what you did? You...you're absolutely insane!"

Duan Ye was completely bewildered, but that didn't stop him from running around the room trying to escape his uncle's pursuit: "Uncle, I don't like hearing what you're saying. I haven't killed anyone or set any fires, so how have I become so heartless?"

Just as Duan Ye was about to rush upstairs, he looked up and saw a face that was both familiar and unfamiliar. The face was beautiful, but the moment Duan Ye saw it, the hairs on his body stood on end, and he froze on the spot.

Ding Mao rushed over and smacked Duan Ye on the backside with a feather duster: "You brat! You dare talk back, huh?!"

Duan Ye winced in pain, looking extremely aggrieved. He pointed at Luo Qingyuan's face, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

Soon, Duan Ye's eyes widened, because Ding Yifen walked out from behind Luo Qingyuan and took Luo Qingyuan's hand with a smile: "Qingyuan, Xiao Ye is back, let's go downstairs."

Luo Qingyuan sweetly replied, "Okay, Auntie."

Duan Ye's face darkened, but he couldn't stop his mother from bringing Luo Qingyuan over.

Just as Duan Ye was about to speak, he was slapped on the back of the head. The next second, his father Duan Sheng's reprimanding voice rang out: "Kneel down!"

Duan Ye immediately knelt down on the spot, and after realizing what had happened, the expression on his face was one of utter humiliation.

Duan Ye looked up and met Luo Qingyuan's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but weren't. A flash of inspiration struck him—the words Luo Qingyuan had spoken in the film crew's warehouse that day…

So that's what giving him a few days meant?

Duan Ye pointed at Luo Qingyuan and tried to stand up: "Luo Qingyuan, what nonsense did you tell my family?"

However, before he could even stand up straight, his father shouted, "Kneel down!"

Duan Ye could only kneel down again, his face full of humiliation, looking at Luo Qingyuan with eyes full of resentment.

Luo Qingyuan simply raised her red lips slightly, her hand unconsciously touching her lower abdomen.

Ding Yifen, the mother, noticed Luo Qingyuan's actions immediately and took her hand, saying, "Come, come, Xiaoyuan, sit down and talk."

Duan Ye's face was full of disbelief: "???" His mind was filled with three question marks.

What does Luo Qingyuan mean?

He didn't believe Luo Qingyuan was really pregnant.

To Duan Ye's astonishment, Ding Yifen walked over with a grin, took him away, and dragged him upstairs to the study.

Duan Ye: "Mom, let me explain. That night was truly an accident..."

Ding Yifen: "Stop, I know. Now I'll ask you questions and you answer, okay?"

Duan Ye stared blankly: "O...OK..."

Ding Yifen: "You broke up with Nuannuan?"

Duan Ye's expression darkened at the mention of this, but he still nodded: "We broke up."

Ding Yifen: "You and Miss Luo...did that happen before or after your breakup?"

Duan Ye: "Isn't this just someone feeling down after a breakup, so they went to a bar..."

Ding Yifen: "Okay, after the breakup."

"Mom will ask you one last question: Did you really... you know... with Miss Luo?"

Duan Ye scratched his head in frustration: "That's true, but..."

Ding Yifen sighed: "No buts, you've already... you know, you have to take responsibility, you know?"

Duan Ye's eyes widened: "No, I thought she was one of the girls in the shop, that's why..."

Ding Yifen's eyes were like knives piercing Duan Ye: "But she's a respectable girl from a respectable family. And can't you at least have some self-respect? Even if she's a girl in the shop, you can't be so casual with her!"

Duan Ye hesitated for a long time, then tried to argue, "Well, she didn't say that..."

Ding Yifen, however, had already started rummaging through the drawers: "Whether she said it or not, she might be carrying your child. Besides, Miss Luo said that it was consensual for both of you that night. Since it was consensual, and you're both single, then let's get married."

marry? !

Duan Ye completely exploded: "Mom! We're all adults here, it's a mutual consent matter, there's no need to escalate it to marriage, is there?"

Ding Yifen ignored what Duan Ye said and walked out with her household registration book.

Duan Ye quickly stopped his mother, looking extremely flustered: "Mom, Mom, even if we're going to get married, shouldn't we at least meet each other's parents first? How can we be so hasty?"

Ding Yifen calmly looked at Duan Ye: "Mom has already inquired. Miss Luo just returned from studying abroad this year. She comes from a respectable family and is a perfect match for you..."

Ding Yifen's voice stopped abruptly, and then she said with an indescribable expression, "Son, you're out of your league."

Duan Ye: "???"

Ding Yifen ignored Duan Ye and walked straight downstairs.

"Mom! Mom! Mom!!!" Duan Ye called out again and again, but he couldn't get even a little bit of Ding Yifen's maternal love.

Duan Ye is about to break down, really?

Are we really going to sell it to him?

As soon as Duan Ye arrived downstairs, his family was already all ready to go.

Luo Qingyuan looked at him with a smile: "Hello, fiancé."

Duan Ye was furious: "Who's your fiancé?!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Duan Ye was slapped on the back of the head.

Immediately, Duan Sheng's reprimand rang out: "You brat! Who taught you to be so rude?"
