"Who else is like you right now, caught in the middle? I’m honestly impressed with you!"
"I don’t want my child to be like ." After a long pause, Jian Anning said sullenly, "I want my child to live in a normal family, not to be labeled as illegitimate from birth."
"Who said anything about illegitimacy? You and Yu Zexiao were supposed to get married! It was only delayed because of special circumstances! Why is your mind so rigid? I really am impressed with you!"
"You don’t understand. For a child like , born into such a family, what I hoped most since childhood was that my parents could eat at the sa table with , and that I could grow up in a normal family. I... don’t want my child to suffer any grievances."
"Let tell you, you’re just lucky that you ended up with Yu Zexiao’s damn obsession with cleanliness." Zhao Ziyin said coolly, "Otherwise, given his status, his position, his wealth—fine, that’s nothing, but just his looks alone, who knows how many won are crying and screaming to throw themselves at him! Also, his family is truly sothing else. You refuse to have his child or marry him, but if soone dared to keep my son waiting till he’s thirty without any certainty, I’d have kicked her out with a broom long ago! Auntie Shen is still so good to you; you must have done sothing right in your past life! You should know, if you don’t want to have his child, there are plenty of won who will! That rumor-mongered woman would love to jump in and have a baby to secure her position!"
"I..." Jian Anning also felt a bit regretful. Zhao Ziyin was actually right; they had been quite tolerant of her, putting up with it until now.
While she’s not in a rush, the parents were anxious. Every year when giving out red envelopes, Xia Ziyu would deliberately ask, "When are you getting married? When are you having kids?"
Yu Zexiao had explained it to her, but Xia Ziyu couldn’t be bothered to listen. For the elders, seeing their children settle down is most important. Promises? Promises an nothing!
"I, I’m preparing for it now..."
"I’m telling you, you better pay attention. If you don’t want to have children, it’s possible that the Yu Family, or even Yu Zexiao, has another woman prepared, just waiting to kick you out once she’s pregnant!"
"That couldn’t be, right?"
Jian Anning rely smiled at this mont, but how could she know that Zhao Ziyin’s words almost ca true?
Returning ho, before opening the bedroom door, Jian Anning seed to hear Yu Zexiao talking on the phone inside.
His voice wasn’t loud, as if he was deliberately suppressing it, yet it was still clear he was speaking with urgency: "Have you arrived? ...Yeah, she’s not back yet. ...Okay, I’ll co over next ti to check."
Jian Anning paused for a mont, pushing open the door. Upon seeing her, Yu Zexiao quickly hung up the phone: "That’s all, bye."
Ending the call, he fiddled with his phone for a mont, then looked at her and asked with a smile, "Why are you back so soon?"
If I hadn’t co back quickly, would you have said more? Jian Anning felt a bit suspicious, but Yu Zexiao just smiled, "Mom made so chicken soup for you; I’ll go check if it’s ready."
He left, leaving his phone on the table. Jian Anning nodded, and after watching him leave, she rushed to take a look at his phone.
