Gong Yixue smiled indulgently and said, "How could that be? Women's emotions are naturally unstable during pregnancy due to hormonal changes. How can you say that's being unreasonable?"

As if she had found a kindred spirit, Ye Ling'er confided, "Sister-in-law, you have no idea how depressed I've been lately, but I have no one to talk to."

Gong Yixue listened attentively.

"You speak, I'm listening."

Ye Ling'er nodded and said, "Everyone only sees that I suddenly reached the late stage of pregnancy, but no one knows that I endured every single day and night of this pregnancy by myself."

From the initial morning sickness and loss of appetite to the current difficulty in movement, changes in body shape, a much older face, and even the marks on my belly, plus the recent onset of pubic bone pain… I know these are all things that mothers have to go through and overcome, but every time I see Aci, I still blame it all on him without explanation. But this decision was made jointly by us, and I always feel like I…”

"Sister-in-law, do you think Aci will look down on me for doing this?"

Ye Ling'er looked at Gong Yixue and asked.

She felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, Ye Ling'er had completely lost her previous imposing manner. Now she was like a little girl standing at a crossroads, at a loss for what to do.

Upon hearing this, Gong Yixue looked at her calmly.

A calm voice slowly rang out.

"No, how could he possibly despise you for bearing his children? If anyone were to despise someone, it would be us despising him, wouldn't it?"

Gong Yixue paused for a moment, then continued, "Do you know why your brother was so opposed to you marrying Nangong Ci, but then agreed to it?"

Ye Ling'er frowned and shook her head.

“At first, your brother thought that no one was good enough for his sister, including Nangong Ci.”

"Later, he gradually accepted reality. Although you will always be the little princess of the Ye family, you will eventually grow up, get married, leave the Ye family, and start a new family with someone else."

Before you got married, I asked your brother why he suddenly agreed to you two being together.

Ye Ling'er asked, "Why?"

Gong Yixue said slowly, "You will eventually grow up and get married. Rather than marrying a complete stranger, it would be more reliable to marry Nangong Ci, whom you know well."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling'er was immediately stunned.

She never imagined that her brother had silently sacrificed so much for her happiness without her knowledge.

This was the first time in over three years since her marriage that she realized how deep her brother's love for her was.

She was deeply moved.

"Ling'er, I'm telling you this not so that you'll be grateful to your brother, but so that we've already vetted your man, and you can love him with confidence."

"Of course, we can't guarantee what he'll be like in the future, or whether he'll be true to himself. But if that day ever comes and he dares to bully you, your brother and I will definitely make him regret ever being born."

Your brother and I are your source of strength. You don't need to worry or be afraid, and you don't need to think too much.

If that day ever comes, I'll take care of you. The Ye family will always welcome you home anytime.

Gong Yixue stared into Ye Ling'er's eyes and said with considerable confidence.

Pregnancy itself makes people prone to mood swings, and when Ye Ling'er heard this, her eyes immediately stung, and she nodded with slightly reddened eyes.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Ye Ling'er gave Gong Yixue a big bear hug.

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open again.

Everyone looked over and saw that Chu Yi, who had always been single, was accompanied by a stunningly beautiful woman.

Zhou Yuxuan and the others, who were unaware of the situation, were immediately stunned.

Shen Chenxi rubbed his eyes hard. Seeing that the woman in front of him was still there, he couldn't help but ask Zhou Yuxuan, "Fifth Brother, am I not mistaken? There's a woman standing next to Big Brother?"

Zhou Yuxuan was still in surprise when he heard the voice and said, "I'm not blind, I can see."

Although Nangong Ci was somewhat surprised, he was rather reserved and didn't say much.

He glanced at Ye Mohan and saw that he looked indifferent.

Immediately, I had a rough guess in my mind.

Chu Yi, dressed in a black suit, walked gracefully beside You Luo, who was wearing a light purple, modified cheongsam.

As soon as Youluo entered, she saw Gong Yixue standing to the side. After exchanging a few words with Chu Yi, she let go of his hand and walked towards Gong Yixue.

When Gong Yixue saw You Luo, she smiled and teased, "Oh~ things are progressing quickly."

Her voice reached Youluo's ears without missing a single word.

I almost tripped and fell because of a moment of carelessness, but fortunately I managed to steady myself in the end.

Ye Ling'er looked at You Luo, then at Gong Yixue, and said, "Sister-in-law, do you know each other?"

She saw that this woman came with Brother Chu.

Gong Yixue nodded and said, "Yes, Youluo is my friend and also Brother Chuyi's sweetheart. I believe she will soon be his wife."

Youluo was willing to give up her organization and follow Chu Yi to settle in the capital, which shows that she must have fallen in love with him.

At the airport, Chu Yi couldn't wait to leave with You Luo, and she understood perfectly well what was going on.

Suddenly, Gong Yixue looked up at Youluo, raised her eyebrows slightly, and said, "I just don't know how far things have progressed."

Hearing this, Youluo looked helplessly at her mischievous friend and said, "He has already introduced me to his parents."

Gong Yixue, "So fast?"

They've only been back for a few days, and they've already met their parents?

This speed is nothing short of divine.

Gong Yixue asked with a smile, "How are you feeling?"

Youluo blushed and said, "It's fine."

Meanwhile, just as Chu Yi walked up to the group, Zhou Yuxuan immediately gestured for Shen Chenxi to move aside, and Shen Chenxi understood.

Chu Yi then sat directly between Ye Mohan and Zhou Yuxuan.

Shen Chenxi was an impatient person. As soon as Chu Yi sat down, he asked, "Big brother, is your sister-in-law the one who came with you?"

Chu Yi didn't intend to hide anything and said truthfully, "Yes, Luo'er is your sister-in-law. From now on, seeing her is the same as seeing me."

However, his voice was not as cold and indifferent as usual; it sounded more humane.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuxuan glanced at the three people chatting animatedly and asked, "Does your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law know each other?"

Chu Yi: "Yes, we're like sisters."

Zhou Yuxuan immediately became interested and looked at Chu Yi, saying, "You were introduced by your second sister-in-law?"

Chu Yi picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and said slowly in a calm voice, "I suppose so."

The fact that he and Youluo are together today is inseparable from the unconscious "matchmaking" of Ye Mohan and Gong Yixue.

Their first meeting was in Mo City when they were searching for Ye Mohan. At that time, Luo'er appeared before her along with Gong Yixue.

Later, it was also because of Gong Yixue that they met a few more times.
