Chapter 230 - CARING (PARENTALS)

"I know you will. I feel so happy that I am finally carrying our little bun. I can't wait to give birth," Lie Ruge said excitedly as she hugged Yi Lan tightly to her body. They were so happy to the point that their tiredness immediately vanished when they started conversing about the baby.

"So am I. I don't even feel like going to bed tonight. Ge'er, I heard that all pregnant women experience morning sickness, but I haven't seen you vomit for the past couple of weeks. Is it a normal thing? You always feel sleepy and tired so I'm just worried about you and the baby," Yi Lan asked innocently.

"Hmmm... who says that I don't experience morning sickness? Of course I do. I never made it obvious because I wanted to hide the truth from you.. I was so scared that you would figure out the truth since my morning sickness has worsened for the past three days. I have consulted mum about this, but she says that I am okay. I was thinking of going to the doctors for a check-up tomorrow morning before we leave for our honeymoon," Lie Ruge said, feeling a little worried.

"Is it that serious? If that is the case then we will drop by at the hospital before we leave for the airport. And don't worry, I will make sure Dr. Tang follows us on our trip so that he can monitor your condition every day," Yi Lan said reassuringly.

"Ok, but I'm worried about mum. She has already told me that she would not send me to the lion's den alone. She said that she would follow us to keep an eye on me and you. Mum doesn't trust me with protecting the baby because I almost harmed the baby two days ago when you penetrated me roughly. Mum said that we might murder her unborn grandchild at this rate so she volunteered to follow us," Lie Ruge said anxiously.

"Damn it! I think I should be more careful whenever we have our intimate acts. I don't want anything to happen to our baby and don't be anxious. I can handle mum and dad just fine. I bet the baby must be tired right now so let's go to bed already," Yi Lan said as he carefully tucked her into bed. Both of them slept with bright smiles on their faces. They originally wanted to wake up early the next morning but due to how tired they were, they slept till 9:00 am. They were surprised to see that their baggage had already been packed and placed at one corner of the sitting room when they went downstairs for breakfast. They were even more surprised when they saw Yi Lan's mum and dad arranging the dining table for them.

"Mum and dad, what.... are you doing here?" Lie Ruge asked in bewilderment when she saw them setting up the dining table for them.

"Oh, my sweet baby! You are awake. You should have slept some more," Madam Yi said as she quickly abandoned what she was doing and went to embrace Lie Ruge. She and her husband both pretended as if they did not see Yi Lan.

"Mum, dad, you should have informed us first before dropping by at the Mansion. Look at how surprised my wife is. What would you guys do if it affected the baby," Yi Lan said with his expression filled with concern.

"Why do you always try to stop me from visiting my daughter and what do you know about pregnancy to lecture me? Just so you know, I didn't come here because of you, but because I wanted to check-up on my grandchild and daughter. I wanted to check whether you bullied them last night," Madam Yi said before she pulled Lie Ruge away. She made her sit down on a seat she had specifically prepared for her.

"I wouldn't have hesitated to chop off his little brother had he dared to bully my grandchild and my daughter," Elder Yi said playfully.

"I prefer you punishing him in another way not by chopping off his little brother. We still have great use for it. I still want more grandchildren. If you want, you can chop off his hand or leg but not his little thing," Madam Yi said nonchalantly. Lie Ruge was so shy and embarrassed, she hid her flushed face under the table.

"Mum....," Yi Lan was left speechless for the first time, he felt like driving his parents away right that instant, but he didn't have the heart to do so.

"Ge'er. With your delicate condition, I know that your body requires nutritious food. That is why your dad and I have personally prepared this feast especially for you. Eat as much as you want. Remember what I told you, don't you ever starve my grandchild by saying you don't have an appetite alright. A pregnant woman often gets very hungry even though he or she has just finished eating so don't worry about gaining weight. Alright?" Madam Yi said sternly.

"Ok mum. I have been eating regularly. Lanlan can testify to that. Taking perfect care of my little bun is my top priority so I don't give a damn about gaining some weight," Lie Ruge said softly. They ate and continued chatting even after their meal. They chatted for an hour before Yi Lan and Lie Ruge started preparing themselves for the trip.

"Ge'er, are you sure that you don't want mum to follow you?" Madam Yi asked sadly as she prepared to see them off.

"Yes, mum, I'm sure that your grandchild will miss you in the same way you do, but you don't have to worry. Lanlan and I will take good care of the baby so that you and dad will not have to worry," Lie Ruge said before she embraced her mother-in-law passionately. She also hugged Yi Lan's dad too. When they got to the airport, Lie Ruge was so surprised when she met her dad at the airport, waiting for her. Her father-in-law and mother-in-law also came to the airport to bid them farewell even though they had already done that in the Mansion earlier.

"Yi Lan, don't forget how ruthless I can be when provoked. Don't you dare harm my grandchild or I will not spare the both of you? Understood?" Elder Lie said fiercely.

"Why is everyone threatening me instead of wishing me good health today," Yi Lan complained bitterly.

"Because you are the only one in this world who is capable of bullying my daughter," Elder Yi replied, hitting his shoulder playfully.

"Mum, what about Xiao Bai and the guys? I thought you said they were on their way," Lie Ruge asked uneasily as she scrutinized the whole place whether she would see them, but unfortunately she didn't spot any of them.

"They should have arrived at the airport by now. Maybe they are searching for us, that is why they are not here yet. Let me figure out where we are so that they can locate us easily," Madam Yi immediately brought out her phone from her clutches. She dialled Xiao Bai's number.

"It's their fault for waking up very late so why do we have to continue waiting for them? Our trip will last a week, so they will see us when we are back. Let's get going already wifey," Yi Lan said coldly. It was obvious that he was annoyed with the guys because they didn't keep their words of seeing them off.

"Hey Ge'er," Xiao Bai shouted from afar as she waved her hands happily at them. She ran towards them not minding that people were staring at her strangely.

"Ge'er, I'm so damn sorry that I didn't arrive on time to help you pack. I'm sorry okay," Xiao Bai said sincerely as she held Lie Ruge's hand.

"It's alright. You are pardoned. I'm happy that you are here. Take care of yourself while I'm away and don't forget to inform me if Yun Yi dares bully you. Ok?" Lie Ruge said with concern.

"Sister-in-law, we are very sorry for keeping you waiting," Yun Yi and Tan Fan apologized when they finally catch up to them.

"Is it only Ge'er that you kept waiting?" Yi Lan asked coldly as she shot them a murderous glare.

"Mum, dad, Elder Lie we are sorry for keeping you waiting, we are inexcusable," Yun Yi and Tan Fan apologized once again. Everyone could not help smiling when they saw that the guys deliberately did not apologize to Yi Lan.

"It's alright and as Ge'er has said previously we are happy that you guys made it here on time to see them off," Madam Yi answered on behalf of the men.

"Let's go already, we have wasted a lot of time waiting for them," Yi Lan said displeased.

"Ok, everyone take care of yourselves. Xiao Bai don't forget to check up on mum and dad while I and Yi Lan are away alright? Oh, I almost forgot, what about Jiang Xue?" Lie Ruge asked curiously.

"She fell ill last night because she consumed too much alcohol at the party last night but you don't have to worry she will call later after she has gotten a little better," Tan Fan replied.

"Ok, extend my greetings to her and goodbye everyone," Lie Ruge said before she embraced everyone one after the other. Afterwards, Lie Ruge and Yi Lan immediately went to board the plane. Elder Yi had suggested that they travelled with their private jets but Madam Yi said that their honeymoon will be more adventurous if they travelled with others so they decided to go with Madam Yi's suggestion. Their flight only lasted for forty-five minutes.

"Wow! Finally, we are here," Lie Ruge exclaimed as she fell tiredly on the bed.

"I can't believe that La Réserve Paris is just like I had imagined. I can see that you are tired, let's rest first before we do anything," Yi Lan said as he bent down to remove her shoes.
