Ji Zhigang glared at him, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"It's true."
Yu Mobai spread his hands, "Mu Shu is preparing for an exam. You can call and ask."
Ji Zhigang was silent for a moment, then glanced slightly at the other side of the sofa and said softly, "Okay, I won't tell Mu Shu about this yet, but you better make it clear to me, what about Mu Shu's side..."
"Don't worry, Uncle Ji, leave this to me."
Yu Mobai said with a smile, "I can handle it, as long as you don't interfere."
"What a terrible thing."
Ji Zhigang cursed fiercely, then leaned back on the sofa and remained silent.
But this was ultimately a good thing, so he asked Dong Muhong to prepare a meal for everyone to celebrate.
No matter what, Dong Yike is his daughter now, and putting Ji Mushu aside, it's a good thing.
That evening, the two families had dinner together, but Ji Zhigang felt somewhat uneasy.
It was already absurd enough that he turned a blind eye to Ji Mushu and Yu Mobai being together, but now that she's suddenly pregnant, he, as the father, can't say anything.
After all, the rice has already been cooked.
That night, Ji Zhigang tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
"Clatter." (The last line appears to be a fragment and doesn't translate directly.)
Dong Muhong suddenly turned on the bedside lamp, startling Ji Zhigang. "You...you're still awake?"
"Um."
Dong Muhong sat up against the headboard and said softly, "The children have their own ideas. As parents, we shouldn't worry too much or try to interfere. As long as they are happy, that's enough."
That's what I said, but...
Ji Zhigang felt depressed and lit a cigarette. "Mushu has been without a mother since she was little. I raised her with great difficulty. I feel uncomfortable when I think that she may not even have a complete wedding in the future."
"A wedding is just a formality; what matters most is whether you are happy after marriage."
Dong Muhong knew what Ji Zhigang was worried about; initially, her reaction was even stronger than his.
But seeing how well Yu Mobai treated Dong Yike, she felt relieved.
After all, reality is more important than form.
Just like last time she told Dong Yike that Yu Mobai had to buy her a house.
Is this house really that important?
Compared to a company like Ele.me, it doesn't seem that important.
But why must Dongmuhong be bought?
Actually, a house means home.
Only when you have a house can you truly have a home.
This is a deeply ingrained mindset of their older generation.
Having a career doesn't seem to bring them peace of mind; only having a home can truly give them a sense of belonging.
Most importantly, Ji Mushu has now become a qualified lawyer and is able to support herself.
I reckon Yu Mobai will open a law firm for her in the future, so she won't have to worry about the rest of her life.
Dong Muhong told Ji Zhigang everything in one go, but Ji Zhigang just kept quiet. Finally, he pulled the blanket over his head, waved his hand, and said, "Go to sleep, it's getting late."
...
Yu Mobai returned to the small county town alone when he left.
As expected, Dong Yike was left in the small county town.
Both mothers told her that the first few months of pregnancy were crucial and that she needed to take good care of herself and avoid overexertion. They felt more at ease knowing that both of them were watching over her.
Dong Yike had no choice but to stay.
After returning to Shengjing, Yu Mobai immediately called Ji Mushu, "Mushu, are you busy? Let's go home for dinner together tonight?"
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
Ji Mushu, holding her phone, asked with a smile. She seemed quite satisfied with having dinner with Yu Mobai; her long eyelashes fluttered, and her face flushed with a rosy hue.
Yu Mobai casually suggested a few dishes; his real purpose in going there wasn't to eat.
Rather, it was for sowing seeds.
Dong Yike's pregnancy cannot be kept secret for long. If the only way to divert Ji Mushu's attention away from this, Ji Mushu must also become pregnant.
In this way, her attention will naturally be diverted.
Judging from the current situation, a chaotic scene is definitely not going to happen again. Now, Yu Mobai even wants to shorten the time she's angry as much as possible.
If Ji Mushu hadn't gotten pregnant, she probably wouldn't have given Yu Mobai a friendly look whenever Dong Yike was pregnant.
But if Ji Mushu gets pregnant, her attention will shift, and the two of them might be able to discuss pregnancy precautions.
So from that night onward, for nearly a month, Yu Mobai would have dinner with Ji Mushu whenever he had free time.
Dong Yike knew about Yu Mobai's plan, so she would often ask if there were any results.
Yu Mobai thought to himself that he didn't know either, as Ji Mushu's period had been coming at a normal time for the past month.
Finally, in the second month, Ji Mushu's period was more than a week late.
Yu Mobai knew his chance had come, so he made an excuse that he hadn't been feeling well lately and wanted to go to the hospital for a checkup.
The two had been spending a lot of time together lately, so Ji Mushu naturally agreed.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Yu Mobai said with a smile, "The check-up will probably take a whole day, so don't just sit around. Since you're already here, get checked out together."
"I'm not sick, so I don't want to get checked."
Ji Mushu always felt a bit apprehensive about hospitals. It was fine when she accompanied others, but when she went for tests on her own, she would always have wild thoughts.
"I've registered you."
Yu Mobai waved the registration slip, "You've been staying up late a lot lately, it won't hurt to get checked out."
