After spending another night with Bai Qing, Li Yang, under the urging of Li Likun, drove to Jiangbei.
Today also happened to be his birthday.
Li Yang sat in the back seat, chatting with Xue Ning.
It mainly started because Xue Ning wished him a happy birthday, and he took the opportunity to start a conversation.
"Xue, I’ll be in Jiangbei soon. In three hours, you’ll see . Have you missed ?"
"Yeah, I have."
"When you see , should we hug?"
"Yeah."
"How have you been eating these past few days?"
"Okay, I guess."
"Do you want to eat mom’s cooking?"
"Yeah."
"Then I’ll bring it over for you."
"Okay, I’ll heat it up and eat it."
...
Xue Ning’s desire to chat wasn’t particularly high, but she replied quickly.
It showed that she really wanted to talk, but for so reason, she had conflicting feelings.
Li Yang could sense from the last video call that Xue Ning wasn’t soone who would cry easily. It was probably the pregnancy that had her a bit off emotionally, maybe even causing so psychological issues.
Psychological issues can be big or small. On the larger scale, they are no different from cancer. On the smaller side, maybe a good sleep will fix everything.
This is also why Li Yang brought his parents along.
The pressure Xue Ning is under can surely be eased by his parents.
No matter how well Jiang Yaoting treats her, it’s not the sa as his own parents. After all, Jiang Yaoting hasn’t let Xue Ning live in his ho, doing laundry for her every day, cooking for her, and treating her like his own daughter.
...
Xue Ning’s mood suddenly improved a lot.
Although Wang Cuiping’s cooking wasn’t particularly delicious, just average, she had an inexplicable craving for it.
Even if the food brought over was leftovers.
She wasn’t interested in many things, even those she used to love and wanted to do.
Before, doing sothing would bring inner joy, but now, she couldn’t feel that way.
This leftover al made her feel joy for a mont.
Though brief, it was the first in months.
As for the reason, she didn’t know.
Just after the first month of pregnancy, unlike others, she had severe morning sickness, and it only improved after spending half a month in the hospital.
Since then, her body had been normal, and she hadn’t felt like anything was wrong.
Li Yang is coming...
That guy surely won’t let her off, and by then...
Thinking of this, Xue Ning’s heart once again felt a sense of pleasure, which lasted for quite a while, remaining even after two or three hours.
"Hmm... he should be here soon, right?"
"Should I go downstairs to buy a box of condoms from the store?"
"It seems... I might not need them?"
"Forget it, forget it, I probably won’t need them."
She didn’t really want to move, feeling weak all over.
If it weren’t for hunger, she wouldn’t have gone downstairs these days.
Even her clothes were piling up for days before washing, and she even found moving her fingers tiring.
After waiting for another ten or so minutes, the doorbell rang.
She glanced at the ti; it was only eleven-thirty, and the delivery person was scheduled for twelve.
So... the person coming at this ti should be Li Yang.
The joy in her heart reached its peak, and she quickly got up, walked over, and opened the door.
Seeing Li Yang’s familiar face, she smiled happily.
But... upon seeing Li Likun and Wang Cuiping, her expression turned to horror, even trembling all over.
Not only was she trembling, but so were Wang Cuiping and Li Likun.
They never imagined that seeing Xue Ning again would be in such a scenario.
Xue Ning had a baby bump... although it wasn’t very pronounced, it was definitely a pregnancy.
Gaining weight wouldn’t explain it.
Xue Ning just wanted to escape, not wanting Wang Cuiping to find out about this, to see her current state.
But her legs felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move.
Li Yang quickly moved over to support her, while Wang Cuiping and Li Likun also entered, surrounding her.
Xue Ning’s eyes beca wet, her emotions out of control, and in the blink of an eye, her eyes filled with tears.
Looking at Wang Cuiping and Li Likun, she cried, "Dad... Mom..."
"Yangyang, what are you doing standing there? Quickly help your sister to the sofa!"
"And Ningning, with such a big thing, why didn’t you tell us?"
Wang Cuiping’s words were definitely tinged with bla, but the concern was genuine.
While Li Yang supported Xue Ning, she also held onto her waist until she was settled on the sofa before letting go.
Facing Wang Cuiping’s questioning, Xue Ning couldn’t answer, and after sitting down, she just lowered her head.
Li Yang, beside her, said, "Mom, I know about this."
Xue Ning was startled, quickly raising her head to look at Li Yang, her eyes full of pleading, simultaneously hinting at him not to speak.
Once spoken, she would be done for!
She could leave, but didn’t want to leave in disgrace, hoping to retain a bit of dignity.
Wang Cuiping urged from the side, "Then why didn’t you say anything on the road?"
Li Yang whispered, "You didn’t ask."
Li Likun almost raised his hand on the spot, barely holding back from hitting Li Yang.
That scoundrel, what was he saying!
Is this sothing that needs asking?
Xue Ning quickly said, "Dad, Mom, I’m sorry for everyone, I’ve done sothing shaful, this is all my fault, can you not ask anymore?"
Wang Cuiping sternly said, "Ningning, is this a small matter? As parents, if we don’t address such things, what right do we have?" After saying this, she looked at Li Yang, "Yangyang, quickly speak."
