Chapter 21 Tentacle Monster 04 "He seems to be infertile."...
My mother is not feeling well, so I'm going back to my own home for a few days.
After you sent the message, even your fingertips were trembling slightly.
At this moment, you have returned to your mother's home, although your appearance at the door in a daze in the middle of the night scared your mother a lot.
But she didn't ask much, just asked you what you had for dinner. After learning that you hadn't eaten anything, she quietly went to the kitchen and cooked you a bowl of noodles.
Tears started falling as you ate the hot noodles.
Your mother looked at you distressedly: "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with He Yao?"
It might as well be a quarrel. No one would believe you if you said your husband was not a human but a monster. Even if your mother believed you, you didn't want to scare her.
You are all ordinary people, how can you resist that kind of existence?
"...No, I just missed you a little."
"Silly child." Mom patted your head, feeling both amused and helpless. "It's not far away. You can come back anytime you want."
"Yeah." You nodded, then pretended not to care and asked, "Mom...if, I mean if, if I said I wanted a divorce, would you support me?"
Although I feel that divorce may not necessarily get rid of the monster's entanglement, but what if?
The monster has not shown any desire to attack you yet, and can even be said to be willing to respond to your every request. If you find a reasonable reason to divorce, you may be able to leave him safely.
Mom rolled her eyes instantly: "...and you still say we didn't argue?"
You replied with a hint of guilt: "Really? I'm just asking."
"What's the reason? There must be a reason for wanting a divorce."
"Can't it be that I just don't like him? I don't want to live with him, I..." Before you could finish your words, you were hit on the head with a big bang.
Your mother looked at you in disbelief: "How old are you? How can you be so willful? Do you think marriage is just a game? You're getting a divorce after just six months? Divorcing for this reason is so irresponsible to others. Is this how your father and I raised you?"
"I asked you before, and I didn't force you to get married. You said you wanted to marry him, and now your life is going well. Why do you suddenly say you don't want to live with him anymore? Are you trying to piss me off to death?"
You rubbed your forehead, feeling incredibly miserable. After a moment of thought, you said, "...I never lived with him before we got married, so I had no idea he had so many quirks!"
Your mother looked at you suspiciously: "What's that quirk?"
"...That's too much. He's so picky about food that he won't eat vegetables. He takes two hours to take a bath. Oh, and he snores at night. It's killing me!"
The last point is nonsense, but mom doesn’t know you made it up.
“…Is this true?”
You nodded vigorously: "Really? Why would I lie to you?"
Your mother was silent for a moment before continuing, "These aren't really big problems. No one's perfect. He's just a little picky about food and a bit of a germaphobe. It doesn't affect you. As for the snoring...if you really can't sleep in separate rooms, why not? We have plenty of rooms anyway, so it's not enough to warrant a divorce."
“…”
None of this works, it seems like I need a drastic measure.
You deliberately hesitated for a moment before letting out a long breath and whispering, "Actually, there's a more important reason."
"……what else?"
"He seems infertile." You looked directly at your mother, observing her expression.
As expected, as soon as these words came out, my mother's face instantly turned ugly.
"What?! You can't just say things like that."
"I'm not kidding." You blinked innocently. "We've never used any contraceptive measures since we got married. We've done it almost every day except when I have my period, but I still haven't gotten pregnant. If it's not because he's incapable, what else could it be? It can't be that there's something wrong with my body, right?"
Your mother was shocked at first, then looked at you with suspicion. "Didn't you say before that you didn't like children and wanted to delay having them for a few years? How come you're not using contraception? Besides... Tiantian, isn't that a bit exaggerated? Ugh, you're probably saying that to get me to support your divorce, aren't you?"
"Really not! Would I joke about something like this? People's ideas change. It's not like you think He Yao is good in every way. Didn't I also think he was good in every way before and wanted to get married? I thought our child might be so good-looking, but who knows if he'll be good-looking or not!"
Your mother was speechless, and then a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on her face: "I knew it! I knew it, this is the best thing in the world that can happen to you. So this is how it is..."
You don’t know why, but you always feel like you’re being scolded.
"What's so good about that? Isn't this just wasting my time? Just tell me whether I should get a divorce or not!"
Your mother nodded decisively: "Divorce, of course you have to."
After hearing these words, you felt much more relieved and went back to your room to sleep contentedly after finishing your noodles.
I had a good sleep after a long time.
You got up from the bed full of energy, washed up quickly, and opened the bedroom door.
"mom--"
The words are stuck in your throat before you can even utter them. Looking at the back of the person sitting on the sofa in the living room, you feel like a goose with fate strangling its throat.
After noticing your presence, your husband put down the book in his hand, raised his head with a smile, and looked completely harmless as if life was peaceful and tranquil.
“…Why is he here?”
You quickly walked over to your mother and asked in a hushed voice.
"I called him." Your mother glanced at you and said, "I've thought about it. It's not necessarily that there's something wrong with my son-in-law. Preparing for pregnancy is not that simple. It's normal that there's no news after only six months of marriage."
“…And then?” You felt like your back teeth were about to break. “Mom! Didn’t you say you supported me yesterday?!”
"How can you talk like that, kid? I support you. Call your son-in-law here. You two can go to the hospital together. If he is sick, get treatment first. If he is not sick, live well. If he can't be cured, we can still divorce him."
“…”The sky fell.
However, you quickly cheered up, thinking about how you two didn't go for a premarital medical checkup when you got married. Now it seems there are a lot of doubts. It's not you who is afraid to go to the hospital for a check-up. If your husband resists going to the hospital for a check-up, you can file for divorce with confidence.
"I can do that. Is he willing to go?"
You crossed your arms and looked confidently at your mother, only to see her glance at you in confusion: "Why don't you want to go? He said he could go with you today, isn't he here to pick you up?"
“…” You were speechless for a long time.
"Wife." The man walked over to you and took your hand caringly: "Let's go, I have an appointment."
You got into the car in silence, like a dead fish on the chopping block.
Someone nearby suddenly spoke up: "Mom said she's fine."
Without those tentacles, the people beside you have returned to their familiar appearance, and you don’t feel any fear in your heart: “Yeah, I lied to you.”
"Well, that's good."
You tilted your head in confusion: "You're not angry?"
Li Heyao also turned his head and looked at you: "Don't be angry, as long as your mother-in-law is fine."
His eyes were always so clear, as if everything he said was from the heart.
...Liar, all lies.
How could a monster truly care about your family if it didn't even seem to have any feelings for "its own parents"?
So, where is the real Li Heyao? Is he dead? Or was he born a monster? What's their relationship? Why didn't his parents realize anything was wrong with their son? Or were they also acquainted with the truth, and were they also monsters? Just thinking about these questions makes you shudder.
You can only use anger to cover up your fear: "Oh, you would think so? You are obviously not familiar with her."
If an ordinary person heard this sarcastic tone, they would also be angry, but the thinking processes of monsters and humans are obviously different. He doesn't seem to care about your aggressive attitude at all, but instead explains to you very seriously.
"She's your mother. If she gets sick, you'll be sad, and so will I."
“…”
If you had heard this sentence before yesterday, you would have been very touched.
But at this moment, you just feel complicated.
The man suddenly spoke again: "But I am a little angry about something else."
"Huh? What?" You suddenly became nervous.
Did Li Heyao find out you were following him? Just as you were racking your brains to come up with an excuse...
"Wife, you never told me that you wanted to have our offspring."
You slowly raised your head, looking at your husband's profile in confusion, but were horrified to find that he looked as if he was in a very happy mood.
After noticing your gaze, he even suddenly slammed on the brakes, unbuckled his seat belt, and leaned his upper body closer to you.
The car behind must have been scared and was honking its horn frantically. I could vaguely hear some shouting and cursing.
You don't know why the monster suddenly went crazy or what strange thing it wants to do. You dare not say a word and can only hold the seat belt on your chest pitifully and helplessly.
However, he just kissed your forehead gently and raised his hand to touch your head, as if to comfort you.
"Although it's not possible for now, I will try my best. You don't have to worry too much."
You are completely petrified.
Huh? What does that mean?
...Could you really be pregnant with a monster's child?!
