I really want to strangle him, what should I do!
But my aunt and uncle are there, and I don't dare to do it!
The girl reluctantly took a big mouthful of rice, stuffing her cheeks bulging out like an angry little hamster.
Qiu Yuru's heart melted at the sight.
Xiao Shengrong also joined in the laughter.
It's not that I'm making fun of Yan Xici, I just think the two of them have a really good relationship.
In fact, the relationship between two people often doesn't need to be spoken; it can be seen from their eyes or actions.
Although the two of them didn't do anything ambiguous, the love in their eyes was almost overflowing.
"Xiao Ran, watch your mouth! You're supposed to be an author, is this how you describe your wife?"
Qiu Yuru couldn't help but speak up for Yan Xici.
The way he said that made even his own mother want to kick him, but Yan Xici actually managed to hold back. That's true love.
Yan Xici seized the opportunity to act coquettishly, "Auntie is still the best to me."
Xiao Shengrong looked at his daughter-in-law with a smile on his face.
To be honest, Yan Xici has a really good personality, and she's also very well-behaved.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. To be honest, Yan Li has a rather quiet personality, and every time the family eats together, Xiao Shengrong always feels that he has not taken good care of her.
But Yan Xici was different; she was very genuine, which made Yan Xici feel a little more favorably toward this girl.
"By the way, Xici, you've come all this way, what are your plans for the afternoon?"
Mr. Yan felt that Xiao Ran should take Yan Xici out more often, since they were visiting another city after all.
"I haven't decided yet this afternoon," Xiao Ran said while eating.
"I think I should stay home and spend time with you all, since it's rare for Brother Xiao Ran to come back," Yan Xici said obediently.
She genuinely felt that way; if she were to be away from home for an extended period, she would want to spend time with her parents.
As for herself, she felt that she was fine with anything.
Xiao Shengrong was surprised that this girl was so sensible.
Most girls hope their boyfriends can spend more time with them.
But this girl wanted Xiao Ran to spend more time with his parents. She was indeed a sensible and good child. No wonder Qiu Yuru liked her so much.
"You rarely come here, so let Xiao Ran accompany you out for a look around."
After Xiao Shengrong finished speaking, he poured himself another glass of wine.
He drank quite a bit during that meal.
He was a little dizzy from drinking, and Xiao Ran was afraid that his father had drunk too much, so he quickly took the cup from him and said, "Dad, you really can't drink anymore."
He had no idea of Xiao Shengrong's happiness.
My son got divorced, then got a girlfriend, and then had a child.
Although I don't ask about it much, I am genuinely worried.
Seeing him get better and better is the happiest thing in my life.
Whether it was because he had drunk too much or because he was exceptionally happy, Xiao Shengrong looked radiant. He reached out and took Xiao Ran's hand from his shoulder, saying, "Alright, don't worry about me. I'm very happy for you."
"You'll understand once you become a father."
Upon hearing this, the expressions on the faces of the three people present changed. After all, Yan Xici really wasn't pregnant.
Qiu Yuru, in particular, had an indescribable sense of guilt on her face.
To be honest, she herself didn't expect Xiao Shengrong to care so much.
She couldn't bear to see him sink deeper into despair, nor could she bear to tell him the truth and cause him immense pain.
It's truly a situation where one is caught in a dilemma.
Seeing Qiu Yuru's appearance, Yan Xici understood more or less what was going on.
My uncle has been looking at my belly quite a few times since I walked in the door.
Why? Isn't it because she feels that she is carrying the Xiao family's child?
If she could, she would really like to give him a grandson, but there's no chance for that.
Even if we ask now, it's too late.
As the saying goes, a lie is still a lie.
"Uncle..." she said with some concern.
"This child, wasn't he just calling me 'Dad'? Why is he calling me 'Uncle' now?"
Xiao Shengrong's tone was reproachful, but his eyes were still full of joy.
"Dad, why don't you go inside and rest for a bit?" Yan Xici felt a little guilty. To be honest, she wanted to discuss with Xiao Ran whether or not to tell her uncle the truth.
After all, she really couldn't bear to let the old man's hopes be dashed; the greater the hope now, the greater the disappointment later.
If something goes wrong again, that's a responsibility I can't bear.
"No, no, I'm very happy. Today is the happiest day of my life."
Perhaps because he had drunk more alcohol, Xiao Shengrong became more talkative.
These words made Xiao Ran feel a pang of sadness.
He didn't know that Xiao Shengrong's happiness was largely due to his son's success.
Surviving in a big city is not an easy thing, but Xiao Ran not only did it, but also made a name for himself. As his father, he felt gratified.
Many fathers are like this; they're afraid their children will become arrogant if they praise them too much.
But deep down, I was happier than anyone else.
"Dad, there's something I want to tell you..."
Xiao Ran felt that it was better to suffer prolonged pain than to suffer temporary pain after being deceived.
Seeing his serious expression, Xiao Shengrong's expression also became serious.
What happened?
Weren't you just having a good time? Why are you looking so gloomy now?
"Xi Ci, I'm not actually pregnant. I'm sorry, we lied to you."
Qiu Yuru, who was standing next to her, didn't say anything. Despite her usual fierce demeanor, she was actually feeling very guilty at that moment.
It's all my fault for being so hot; who else can I blame?
Xiao Shengrong was stunned, and he was in a daze.
"What?"
Not pregnant?
He looked at his wife with a puzzled expression. To be honest, he suspected that Xiao Ran was deliberately teasing him.
Sorry everyone, I've been so busy at work lately that I haven't had a chance to relax. Today's update is late. Sorry!
