Back in her room, Ouyang Qian was still unable to calm down. She sat on the edge of the bed, stroking her belly. She had no idea that she was pregnant.
Ever since her last conversation with Jingjing, she has been trying to treat her cold uterus, and she didn't expect to get pregnant so quickly.
Han Chen must be very happy!
Thinking of her husband, Ouyang Qian's lips froze, and she felt confused for a moment. Would he really be happy?
She closed her eyes and thought cruelly that if he really betrayed their love, then she would have no choice but to divorce him.
An unfaithful love affair cannot last long.
Before I knew it, tears were welling up again.
Ouyang Qian quickly wiped away her tears and sniffed; she couldn't afford to have any major emotional fluctuations right now.
Then I lifted the covers, lay down on my side, closed my eyes, and forced myself to fall asleep.
Only Chen Shufang and her husband remained in the living room. To avoid her father-in-law's probing gaze, Su Jingjing had already taken the two children upstairs.
With a serious expression, Chen Shufang asked her husband to call their eldest son and tell him that he had to come home that night.
Li Yuan's doubts grew even stronger. His wife was not an unreasonable person, and she would never interfere with her two sons' work.
Considering that his eldest daughter-in-law had returned home alone, he figured the couple must have had a falling out. "Did Han Chen do something wrong?"
Hearing the old man's pointed question, Chen Shufang sighed, looked into his eyes and said, "Promise me you won't get agitated later."
She was afraid that the old man would lose control of his temper.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Li Yuan sat down as well and said in a deep voice, "Alright."
Chen Shufang then recounted what had happened.
Li Yuan listened, his anger surging in his dark eyes.
“If this kid dares to do anything to betray Qianqian, I will definitely expel him from the Li family.”
The Li family members must never be unfaithful in their marriage.
The anger spread like wildfire, making Chen Shufang, who was standing nearby, feel a scorching heat.
She quickly grabbed the old man's hand, "Don't get so angry. The matter hasn't been confirmed yet. Let's see what Han Chen has to say first."
Li Yuan didn't really want to believe that his eldest son was a womanizer.
However, if he hurt Qianqian's feelings, then it was his fault.
Seeing that the old man still had a dark expression, Chen Shufang continued, "By the way, I have some good news to tell you: Qianqian is pregnant."
"What?"
Li Yuan thought he had misheard, but when he caught a glimpse of the old woman's determined eyes, his expression softened. "Alright, alright."
“Tell the child to take good care of herself during her pregnancy, and that we will make decisions for her if anything happens.”
Chen Shufang lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, "Don't worry, I've already talked to the child."
When she has time, she also goes to the temple to burn incense and asks the Bodhisattva to bless An'an, Yuanyuan, and the baby in Qianqian's belly with a lifetime of peace and safety.
"Go call Han Chen quickly. I need to make some soup for Qianqian too. She can drink it when she wakes up."
He then got up and walked towards the kitchen.
Qianqian has suffered a lot these past few days and probably hasn't eaten much. She needs to make up for it with her nutrition.
Suppressing his anger, Li Yuan went upstairs to his study, picked up the phone, and called his eldest son's office.
Li Hanchen was extremely busy, as a recent project had run into trouble, putting the entire government on edge.
He barely slept for the past few nights.
Even though he was busy until the wee hours of the morning every day, he still insisted on going home to hug his wife, smelling her unique fragrance and dozing off for two hours. The next day, he would get up to work again before dawn, leaving a note for Qianqian to eat well.
The two barely exchanged two words during those days, so Li Hanchen naturally didn't notice his wife's unusual mood.
This morning, his wife called to say she was going home first. Although Li Hanchen found it strange, he thought about it and agreed.
After all, it would be boring for my wife to be alone in the apartment during her vacation. Going back to the old house would give her family to keep her company.
However, Li Hanchen couldn't accept his wife being away from him for too long; even a day at most, he would rush to the old house.
Suddenly, a subordinate beside him spoke up, "Director, your phone is ringing."
Li Hanchen composed himself, waved for someone to leave, and then picked up the phone.
Before the word "Hey" could even be uttered, the father's furious voice came through, launching into a tirade that made my eardrums ring.
Li Hanchen's eyebrows furrowed, and he quickly moved a little distance away.
My father is not an easily angered person.
He knew his father must have something else he hadn't said, so he pinched the bridge of his nose and patiently listened to his father vent his emotions.
At that moment, he caught a crucial piece of information, his eyes narrowed, and he quickly asked, "Dad, what did you just say?"
Li Yuan snorted coldly from the other side, "I'm asking you, are you having affairs outside?"
Li Hanchen sat down and said helplessly, "Dad, I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to go out and fool around?"
Where did the old man hear this news from?
Suddenly realizing the seriousness of the situation, he immediately straightened up. "Dad, Qianqian doesn't know either, does she?"
Judging from his eldest son's tone, Li Yuan knew there was more to the story.
He said coldly, "Hmph... Qianqian thinks you're having an affair now. Whether you want to come back and explain or not, it's up to you."
"Oh, by the way, I have something to tell you. Qianqian is pregnant."
He hung up the phone before his eldest son could say anything.
Before he could even process the previous news, his father dropped another bombshell, leaving him completely bewildered.
It wasn't until the phone went dead that I realized how serious the situation was.
Li Hanchen was filled with mixed feelings of joy and worry. His wife was pregnant, but it seemed she had some misunderstanding about him.
I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't even noticed my wife's health. As a husband, I'm really being irresponsible.
After hanging up the phone, I quickly grabbed my coat and headed outside.
He bumped into Xiao Zhang. "Director, where are you going?"
"Xiao Zhang, you handle the rest. I need to go home for a bit."
Nothing is more important than my wife.
My wife has misunderstood; this is a serious matter.
Before Xiao Zhang could even speak, the director disappeared around the corner.
This was the first time he had ever seen the director so flustered.
Could it be that something happened to the lady?
After all, the director is always discreet, and the only person who can affect his emotions is his wife.
Li Hanchen drove in silence, his lips pursed, his face solemn.
It usually takes him an hour to get home, but now it only took him half an hour, which shows how nervous he was.
In the courtyard, I saw my younger brother and sister-in-law playing with An'an and Yuanyuan.
After getting off the bus, the two children surrounded him, chattering and calling him "Uncle," though it was mostly Yuanyuan's voice that was heard.
Li Hanchen responded, and at that moment his younger brother and sister-in-law came over.
"Big brother, you're back."
"Hmm." He was eager to see his wife and didn't have much interest in talking to his sister-in-law.
"My sister-in-law is resting in her room."
Li Hanchen nodded, touched the faces of the two children, and went into the living room.
