It seems every overweight person is a potential stock, this saying is indeed quite accurate.
On the second day after Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaong returned to Beijing, they went to Yijing Manor, where their parents were already settled.
During the period when the new house is being renovated, their parents are living with their grandfather.
The tal plate in Su Chengji’s leg hasn’t been removed yet, but he has no major issues moving around, though he still needs care.
Su’s mother is quite worried about troubling her grandfather.
But when the grandfather learned about Su’s mother’s thoughts, he scolded his daughter harshly, "I haven’t seen any child’s family treating their own father like a stranger!"
Afterward, Su’s mother stopped saying anything unnecessary.
When informing Su’s father and Su’s mother about Yin Shixiu’s car accident, they said it was an accident.
Yin Shixiu didn’t know how much Su’s mother believed, but Su’s father certainly wouldn’t overthink it.
As for Bai Fengmao...
With his experienced eyes, he almost saw through Su Xiaong’s lie at a glance.
Even in the presence of Su’s father and Su’s mother, he didn’t say much.
This year’s Spring Festival, Su’s father and Su’s mother planned to stay in Beijing to spend it with Bai Fengmao.
Since Su’s father’s legs were not very nimble, and after discussing with the Su Family, they also agreed not to return to Chengdu this year.
Running back and forth would be exhausting.
Su Xiaong was naturally the most relieved to have her parents by her side, but the most troubled ones were Bai Family’s eldest brother Bai Zhengxiang and second brother Bai Zhenghan.
The two families were unaware of why Bai Sixian suddenly returned to Beijing.
There were many speculations in private.
Upon learning that Bai Sixian and Su Chengji were living on the mountain with the old man, these two brothers took turns running up the mountain.
They claid it was to visit their father and brother-in-law.
But in fact, they were trying to subtly probe the reason for Bai Sixian’s return to Beijing.
After knowing Bai Sixian intended to transfer her residency to Beijing and settle down, they were even more alard.
Bai Fengmao’s love for this little sister was evident to the two brothers.
Their little sister, exceptionally intelligent and experienced, had her own way of behaving, making even other relatives and elders regard her differently.
Twenty years ago, it was precisely because their little sister was too insightful that the two brothers agreed to drive her out.
Therefore, Su Chengji’s appearance back then was an opportunity for them.
Speaking of it, the affection between siblings seems worthless, making one feel cold.
But without being in the situation, one cannot understand the feeling of being an elder brother but being overshadowed by a sister who’s ten years younger...
This sense of oppression made blood relationships between siblings less important.
Besides, they just hoped their sister would marry into a good family like anyone else’s daughter and be soone else’s daughter-in-law, rather than stay in their own family and compete with the brothers.
Now, over twenty years have passed, and her sudden return to Beijing indeed made the two brothers restless.
Afraid this little sister would harbor revenge, doing sothing detrintal to them because of what happened twenty years ago.
Also worried she would unjustly take from their father what would belong to them.
Bai Fengmao was getting old, and as children, they would inevitably have an eye on the inheritance the old man would leave behind, especially those who viewed money and power heavily.
The weather on the mountain is much colder than at the bottom.
Su Xiaong was dressed warmly enough, but after taking a walk around the back of the mountain, she was still chilled all over.
Dinner was prepared by Bai Sixian and the chef at the manor together.
Bai Sixian’s culinary skills had always been exquisite; with several dishes placed on the table, Bai Fengmao hadn’t even had ti to praise.
When Shuangshuang sitting in the baby chair clapped her hands and exclaid, "Wow!"
This amused Bai Fengmao, "Who does the little girl learn all these new words from?"
Prince Huang wasn’t as gluttonous as Shuangshuang, but with several dishes placed on the table, colorful and aesthetically pleasing, he pointed at the big red shrimp, "Want, want it."
Su Xiaong sighed lightly, feeling her son and daughter were really the sa.
—Food lovers!
After everyone sat down, they started eating, and the grandfather ate happily.
He kept praising how good his daughter’s culinary skills were.
Shuangshuang and Huanghuang were eating with their mouths full of oil.
Watching the old and young eating heartily, it felt like this table was not just ordinary homade dishes, but a full feast of delicacies.
Yin Shixiu also liked the dishes Su’s mother made, unusually eating more.
But Su Xiaong lost her appetite and didn’t know why...
Was it because she hadn’t adjusted to the jet lag, or sothing else, she wasn’t sure.
In short, she just lacked appetite.
Probably since returning from London, she hadn’t rested well, and today she rushed over to see her parents.
Su Xiaong felt a bit tired.
After handling matters with the Yin family’s second sister, and the Yu Family getting what they deserved, putting these two together...
The spirit relaxed, and once one relaxes, the accumulated fatigue over ti becos heavy.
Su Xiaong thought so, but Su’s mother, looking at Su Xiaong...
Beca a little suspicious, and while cleaning up the dishes after the al, she asked privately, "Are you... expecting again?"
"Expecting what?" Su Xiaong replied, looking puzzled, not thinking in that direction at all.
Bai Sixian stared at her for a few glances, and Su Xiaong blinked slowly—
"No way!"
She and Yin Shixiu always took precautions, how could it be possible?
Thinking about it, Su Xiaong rembered sothing in London...
Bai Sixian just casually ntioned it, to conclude she was pregnant based on her poor appetite seed too miraculous.
"Anyway, stay alert and go for a check-up."
"Oh."
Su Xiaong replied, but her heart couldn’t calm down for a while.
Shuangshuang and Huanghuang are already exhausting enough. These two little kids haven’t even reached an age where they understand things, and now, if there’s another child...
Just thinking about it gave Su Xiaong a headache!
Recalling the "hard" days of the past two years and having to go through it all again, Su Xiaong shuddered.
The worst part was, after her mom ntioned it, she realized her period was already more than two weeks late...
Once mostly packed, the rest was left for the servants to handle.
Yin Shixiu had just finished the collaborative project with London Bill Company and gave himself a little break upon returning.
The courses at A University had been mostly neglected by Xiaong, and after taking such a long break, she felt embarrassed to ask for credits herself.
So, she could only nudge Yin Shixiu to pull so strings for her.
Yin Shixiu teased her, "Weren’t you always against pulling strings?"
"And why did I have to stop attending classes?"
Yin Shixiu didn’t say anything else, quietly picked up his phone, and made so calls to "pull strings" for her.
Both of them were free, with Shuangshuang and Huanghuang by their side, so they didn’t go back down the mountain that night and stayed on the mountain instead.
But Yin Shixiu noticeably realized that after just a simple dinner, Xiaong’s attitude towards him took a sudden nosedive...
He invited her for an evening walk, but she ignored him, only saying, "It’s cold outside, you go by yourself."
This left Yin Shixiu a bit baffled. Without his wife, he felt no motivation either so he wandered around the yard twice.
After dinner, Ah Bu was rolling alone on the lawn in the yard. Seeing Yin Shixiu wandering around, Ah Bu brought his ball over and dropped it at his feet.
Yin Shixiu had never had a pet and didn’t know what Ah Bu ant by this.
He kicked the ball away, and Ah Bu imdiately dashed away, fetched the ball back, and looked very expectantly with mouth open, "haha".
Yin Shixiu raised his eyebrows lightly, kicked the ball away again, and Ah Bu soon brought the ball back...
"What are you doing?"
When Su Xiaong ca downstairs to prepare milk for Shuangshuang and Huanghuang, she saw Yin Shixiu standing still in the yard and walked over to ask.
Yin Shixiu turned slightly, with Ah Bu holding the ball by his feet, both looking at Su Xiaong...
"Since when did you and Ah Bu get along so well?"
Su Xiaong asked, and Yin Shixiu didn’t know how to respond.
"You continue playing. I’ll go make the milk."
"Wait."
"...What is it?"
Su Xiaong replied without much enthusiasm.
Yin Shixiu beckoned her over, "Co here."
"Co here."
Unwillingly, Su Xiaong walked over. Yin Shixiu grabbed her hand, pulling her to sit on a wooden bench nearby, "It’s cold outside."
"Tell , what have I done to upset you again?"
Su Xiaong crossed her arms over her chest, pouting.
"Xiaong..."
Su Xiaong took a deep breath, looked at Yin Shixiu, pressing her lips together.
Yin Shixiu slightly lifted his chin, kissed her on the nose, "If I offended you, my dear wife, I will certainly apologize."
In her heart, Su Xiaong couldn’t bear to really ignore Yin Shixiu, but the possibility of being truly pregnant left her feeling uneasy.
And the culprit, who else could it be but Yin Shixiu?
If he had been more cautious when they were together, not so reckless and indulgent, such an unexpected accident wouldn’t even have been possible.
Tomorrow, she should buy a pregnancy test. If this was just a false alarm, it’d be alright. But if she really was...
Xiaong would seriously cough up blood.
"Let ask you."
"Hmm?"
"If... I an, if I’m pregnant again, what would we do?"
Yin Shixiu was stunned for a mont, then a big smile imdiately spread across his face. His large hand covered her belly, "You’re pregnant?"
Seeing his expression, Su Xiaong didn’t even know what to say!
It seems this old man is quite happy about it!
"Are you really pregnant?"
Yin Shixiu asked again.
"Do you really want to be?"
Su Xiaong lightly furrowed her brow.
Yin Shixiu held her waist, gently rested his forehead on hers, "Our children, no matter how many, make happy."
"Yin Shixiu! What did you say when I gave birth to Shuangshuang and Huanghuang?"
"Umm..."
"You said we wouldn’t have more in the future!"
"So, it’s real, isn’t it?"
Yin Shixiu didn’t care what Su Xiaong said, he just tightened his big hand over her belly a little more.
Su Xiaong slapped his hand away, feeling grievance and anger in her heart, yet seeing his undisguised happiness, she actually...
"It’s not certain, just that Mom ntioned it, I calculated the days, it’s possible..."
