Inside the pavilion, Old Chu and Tony Fang stood to one side, their eyes unable to resist glancing at Little Pear's belly.

It's as if there really is a beloved grandson there who's about to grow up.

I'm already imagining the happy scene of holding my beloved grandson in my arms.

The atmosphere was tense, and they were too embarrassed to bring up the matter of marriage.

Xiao Li stood in front of Chu Yang, looking at Shen Nansheng with a firm expression, as if to say, "If you don't agree, I'll sever our father-daughter relationship."

Shen Nansheng didn't look at her, but stared intently at Chu Yang, asking each word clearly, "Is Xiaoli really pregnant?"

"He doesn't know yet, what's the point of asking him?" Little Pear interrupted.

Then, with a pitiful look on her face, she touched her belly and said, "I've been feeling nauseous and wanting to vomit lately, and I keep craving sour things. I must be pregnant. My poor baby, your grandpa doesn't want you even before you're born..."

As she spoke, her expression was sorrowful, her eyes reddened, and she seemed on the verge of tears.

Even Chu Yang was intimidated by her.

Could something really have gone wrong?

“…!” Shen Nansheng slapped his forehead, completely bewildered.

At this moment, Old Chu spoke up: "In-law... uh, no, Anan, don't be too angry. It's all because of the stupid things my brat did. You can hit him or scold him however you want, but the baby is innocent!"

Shen Nansheng: "..."

He silently lit a cigarette, then waved his hand weakly and said, "You all go, leave me alone."

Tony Fang looked at Chu Yang and whispered, "You brat, say something!"

Chu Yang shook his head: "Let's go first."

Old Chu and Tony Fang looked helplessly at Xiao Li's belly, sighed, and left the pavilion.

Chu Yang thought for a moment: "Big brother..."

Shen Nansheng glared at him.

Chu Yang quickly changed his tune: "Uncle Chen, calm down first, I'll come over later."

Then he took Xiaoli's hand and left.

Little Pear, still touching her belly, said delicately, "Chu Yang, slow down. The baby is still small and can't be shaken."

Chu Yang: "..."

Once they were a distance away, seeing Xiaoli still wearing that loving mother's expression, she said, both amused and exasperated, "Alright, stop acting."

Xiao Li stuck out her tongue: "You actually figured it out."

Chu Yang gently flicked her nose: "I'm afraid that besides me, my parents and your father also believe it."

Xiao Li chuckled and said, "That means I acted very well."

“Yes, yes, yes, your dad is so angry he could kill me,” Chu Yang said.

"He wouldn't dare!" Xiao Li's expression changed, and she said angrily, "So what if he said you have other women? So what if it's just Sister Zhou Yang? He's so outrageous, I know of several women, and there are definitely more I don't know about, so what right does he have to say that about you!"

That makes perfect sense.

It's estimated that Lao Shen wouldn't be able to refute it at all.

Although it's not just Zhou Yang, even if you add Shu'er and Chun Yue, compared to Lao Shen, who's a scumbag all over the world, Chu Yang is just the youngest of the youngest.

"Alright, it's not as serious as you make it out to be. After all, he's your father, and his intentions are only for your own good," Chu Yang said.

"For my own good, please don't stop me from being with you," Xiaoli said, her voice choked with emotion.

She nestled into Chu Yang's arms: "He doesn't know that I would die if I left you."

Chu Yang was deeply moved, feeling his heart melt. He said softly, "Me too, I would never abandon you."

"Mmm," Xiaoli responded softly, then looked up and said, "How about we have a real baby, okay?"

"This is bad," Chu Yang said.

"Why? I'm serious!" Xiaoli said anxiously.

"Silly girl." Chu Yang stared into her eyes and said seriously, "You are still young. You shouldn't experience the pain of childbirth so early, nor should you be bound by a child so early. Most importantly, I will not use such means to threaten your father to make him change his mind."

"Leave it to me. I will definitely persuade your dad to agree to our relationship."

He then released her, saying, "I'm going to have a good talk with your dad. You go find my parents and wait patiently for my news, okay?"

Xiaoli thought for a moment and nodded gently: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

"Good girl." Chu Yang kissed her forehead, then turned and walked back.

Upon entering the pavilion, they saw Shen Nansheng lighting another cigarette.

He took out a lighter, leaned over, and lit it for him.

Shen Nansheng glanced at him, his gaze somewhat complicated, then took a drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled with a sigh.

Through the hazy smoke, he slowly spoke: "What do you plan to do with this child?"

“There are no children, Xiaoli is lying to you,” Chu Yang said.

Shen Nansheng was stunned: "What the hell..."

Damn, I had already mentally prepared myself for being a grandfather!

Now you're telling me it was a lie?!

Shen Nansheng wanted to lose his temper, but found that he had already been rendered powerless.

Thinking about his daughter's amazing performance just now, he even felt like laughing.

Daughters grow up and leave home...

Shen Nansheng sighed deeply, looked up at Chu Yang, and said in a deep voice, "I ask you, how much does Xiao Li mean to you?"

Chu Yang met his gaze and said frankly, "It's the same as Shu'er, Sister Xiao Yang, and Sister Chun Yue. I cherish each and every one of them and I will never give them up."

Shen Nansheng was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed: "You kid, you're better than me."

Seeing this, Chu Yang breathed a slight sigh of relief, then smiled and said, "You once told me that a good man should never let down any woman who loves him..."
