Feeling that Ms. Lin was acting strangely, Shen Xizhou ignored her and focused on taking Chu Yuan home and settling her in first. He also asked for three days off from Han Yuan's place, including Chu Yuan's.
After Chu Yuan fell asleep, he pulled Ms. Lin to the living room balcony and said reproachfully, "Mom, aren't you happy that your daughter-in-law is pregnant? How can you be just as unreliable as Xue Qing!"
"You and Yuanyuan seem to get along quite well? Are you just pretending?"
"You brat, what are you thinking! Do you think your mother is some kind of pretentious, disgusting thing?" Ms. Lin punched her son's arm hard, then her expression turned very serious. "Xizhou, I'll ask you one question: do you believe Yuanyuan?"
Shen Xizhou looked up at the sky. "Of course I believe you, you're talking nonsense!"
Xue Qing has relentlessly pursued him over the years, using the guise of pursuing him while secretly scheming against him, but he has never felt as disgusted with her as he does today.
That's right, anyone who hurts Yuan Yuan has crossed his bottom line and is absolutely unforgivable!
Therefore, Shen Xizhou felt that Ms. Lin's question was particularly unnecessary. However, he also knew that Ms. Lin was not the kind of person who was indecisive. Judging from her harmonious relationship with Yuan Yuan, she had actually accepted Yuan Yuan. So why did she fail at the crucial moment?
Shen Xizhou, filled with suspicion, stared intently at Madam Lin. "Mom, are you hiding something from me?"
Ms. Lin felt a chill run down her spine as her son stared at her with a deep, unsettling gaze, as if he had seen right through her.
But in the end, she held on and forced a genuine smile, "Hey, what could Mom possibly be hiding from you?"
From childhood to adulthood, Mom has to have the ability to keep this from you!
I think that since you're so sure that the child in Yuan Yuan's belly is yours, and now that you've already registered your marriage and informed your workplaces, why not just hold the wedding ceremony and complete all the formalities?
Otherwise, when Yuan Yuan gives birth, she will definitely be criticized by people who don't know the situation, just like a few days ago.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xizhou's expression softened, but his tone remained icy, "I told you these people are boring, right?"
Whether it's colleagues or relatives, there are always those gossipy people who like to talk about other people's affairs.
Is this interesting?
"When other people get married, when they have children, and whether they have boys or girls—does that really have anything to do with them?"
He used to be afraid of marriage, which, to put it bluntly, wasn't because he was afraid of taking care of a partner, but because he didn't want to become the subject of gossip and just wanted to live a peaceful and carefree life alone.
But that was all in the past. Now...
For Yuan Yuan's sake, he could accept anything, even the most complicated wedding arrangements.
"Stop saying such useless things." As a mother, how could Ms. Lin not know what kind of person her son was?
Besides, I've heard these kinds of remarks from him before!
Right now, he's letting it go in one ear and out the other, using Chu Yuan to suppress him, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about Yuan Yuan, right?"
Which woman doesn't value a sense of ritual?
"They bear your children, it's a once-in-a-lifetime ceremony, and you're not even willing to participate?"
As they were talking, Shen Xizhou heard a noise coming from the room. He had good hearing and was on edge because he was worried about what might happen to Chu Yuan, which is why he was able to hear it.
Instinctively covering Ms. Lin's mouth, Shen Xizhou lowered his voice and whispered, "Mom, don't speak yet. I think I heard Yuanyuan turn over. Could she be feeling unwell?"
Ms. Lin, "..."
That's an exaggeration!
Regardless of what she thought, Shen Xizhou quietly pushed open the door to confirm that Chu Yuan had only turned over and there was no other problem before continuing the previous conversation with Ms. Lin.
"Of course I'll accompany you!"
I'll wait until Yuan Yuan wakes up, then ask her if she prefers a Chinese or Western ceremony, and then ask someone to design one.
However, regarding the guests, you and Dad will be in charge of everything in Beijing; I won't interfere.
At most, I'll handle things here in S City.
Since we're going to do it, we must do it well, making sure Yuan Yuan's wedding day is grand and spectacular.
Then we can invite her parents and sisters to come and show them that even Yuan Yuan, who is not loved by them, can live a good life.
For people like Xue Qing and Ying Mei, the answer is: So what if it's a second marriage? It's still more grand and elaborate than many people's first marriages.
Ms. Lin was naturally surprised by her son's sudden change, but after thinking about it again, she felt that Chu Yuan was indeed a good girl worthy of love, so she didn't say anything.
The mother and son readily agreed to the arrangement.
The next day, Chu Yuan woke up feeling well and applied to return to work. But before she could finish speaking, Shen Xizhou forcibly stopped her, saying, "Don't go. If I'm not going, why should you?"
Chu Yuan said helplessly, "I'm actually fine. I had a good sleep and I'm almost completely recovered."
She was annoyed by Xue Qing's constant attention-seeking, so she took a desperate gamble and faked a fall to get rid of this eyesore.
She couldn't bear to let her two little babies fall into her belly.
This time, Chu Yuan took pomegranate pills and willow catkin pills, determined to have twin daughters, because she really wanted to see what a doting father Shen Xizhou would be like.
In fact, Shen Xizhou had already spoiled her quite a bit.
In her work, life, and studies, he always offered her advice and guidance like an older brother.
He spoiled her all the time.
Sometimes, when they were in the middle of doing "that," she would say she wanted to eat barbecue, and without saying a word, Shen Xizhou would put on his clothes and go downstairs to buy it for her.
Who can understand this kind of happiness?
Shen Xizhou sat on the edge of the bed and gently pulled Chu Yuan into his arms, feeling the fullness of satisfaction and good fortune in his embrace.
That won't work either.
If you're really bored and feeling alright, I'll have my dad come over in a couple of days, and we can finalize the wedding arrangements then."
