"Let's go back. It's better to explain things clearly. Otherwise, your relationship will get even more tense. " Li Mengmeng thought for a while, still feeling that his relationship with his father had turned stiff. It was not good to continue like this.
The corner of Ke Jianhua's mouth curved into a smile, "You're not afraid of him?"
Li Mengmeng looked at him, and the corners of his mouth revealed a brilliant smile, "As long as you are here, I'm not afraid."
After hearing this, Ke Jianhua's eyes were full of smiles, his voice low and filled with magnetism, "Alright, as you wish."
Li Mengmeng's face immediately flushed red, "President Ke, let's talk about work first."
The sun was setting in the west, shining its rays upon the house, covering everything in a soft golden hue, making it seem so tranquil and peaceful.
Just like that, Li Mengmeng stood in front of him. Under the contrast of the light, she looked even more beautiful.
Ke Jianhua who walked out of the elevator and saw this scene, he could not help but be dumbstruck.
Seeing Ke Jianhua's figure, Li Mengmeng waved her hand.
He slowly approached in the sunlight, his entire body coated in a golden color.
This kind of him, made Li Mengmeng lost herself in her thoughts. She only regained her senses when she was right in front of her, but her face was red.
Ke Jianhua walked over and held Li Mengmeng's hand, "Let's go."
This was the first time since they had gotten married that he officially visited this place. Li Mengmeng's heartbeat quickened, and he was a little nervous.
As if he had seen Li Mengmeng's apprehension, Ke Jianhua comforted him gently, "Don't be afraid, I'm here! They don't dare to make things difficult for you. "
After pausing for a moment, Ke Jianhua continued, "No matter what they say later, don't deny it."
Although Li Mengmeng felt that it was strange, but she still agreed.
Before he even entered the room, he saw that the Aunt He had come out to welcome him, "Young Master, you're back!"
Ke Jianhua nodded and walked in. The Aunt He smiled and nodded to Li Mengmeng.
Just as she entered the house, Luo Zhenhan stood up and laughed, "I thought that you guys wouldn't be coming today!"
Ke Xingye sat on the sofa but didn't get up. He first looked at Ke Jianhua, then his gaze fell on Li Mengmeng's stomach.
How come I can't see any change? How many months has it been?
Seeing Ke Xingye's serious face looking at her stomach, Li Mengmeng became a little nervous and couldn't help but slow down her breathing. In her heart, she had some doubts as to what the old CEO was looking at.
On the other hand, compared to last time, Luo Zhenhan came over and held her hand with an even more intimate smile on her face.
Ke Jianhua pinched Li Mengmeng's hand without batting an eyelid. Li Mengmeng smiled as if she understood something and naturally called out, "Mom."
The smile on Luo Zhenhan's face became even wider. "Come, let's sit and eat. Aunt He has already finished cooking and is waiting for you all. "
Li Mengmeng, who was walking towards the dining hall with Luo Zhenhan, turned her head and looked at Ke Xingye who was sitting on the sofa.
"Ignore him. When I'm hungry, I will naturally come." Luo Zhenhan's voice carried a trace of displeasure, as if she was a little angry.
Li Mengmeng quickly glanced at Ke Jianhua and he nodded lightly.
"Mom, you go first. I'll go get Dad to eat. "
Luo Zhenhan didn't say a word, and only gently stroked her temples.
Ke Xingye let out a cold snort, slowly stood up, and looked at Li Mengmeng, "Who asked you to call me father, do I agree?" His eyes, however, involuntarily looked towards Li Mengmeng's stomach.
Although Ke Xingye didn't dislike her as much as before, the meaning behind his words still didn't approve of her.
This future father-in-law of hers was even more difficult to deal with than her father!
Ke Jianhua entered the old house and almost didn't speak, nor did he look at Ke Xingye directly. It was practically only when Luo Zhenhan asked that question that he would answer.
"How many months have you had?" Ke Xingye suddenly said.
Who? Li Mengmeng looked left and right, and in the end, her gaze stopped at Ke Xingye. She pointed at herself, and looked at with a face full of suspicion.
Such a slow reaction truly made one anxious. Ke Xingye could not help but frown to express his dissatisfaction. How can I help Ke Jianhua at work in the future!
Seeing that Ke Xingye's eyes were always on Li Mengmeng's stomach, Luo Zhenhan also looked over.
With a table full of people looking at her stomach, Li Mengmeng instantly felt like she was in a bad mood. Recalling Ke Jianhua's reminder before she had entered the room, she instantly had a very bad premonition.
Don't tell me they all think they're pregnant?
Seeing that Li Mengmeng did not say anything, Ke Xingye urged, "Why are you not replying?
Li Mengmeng was about to cry. She was not pregnant at all, alright? However, she had promised Ke Jianhua that she wouldn't say it out loud, what should she say now?
Li Mengmeng looked at Ke Jianhua in panic, hoping that he would give his a hint.
Ke Jianhua calmly peeled the prawn and placed it in Li Mengmeng's mouth. The look in her eyes was so gentle that it could drown Li Mengmeng. Seeing Li Mengmeng eat the prawn, she elegantly placed her hand on Li Mengmeng's stomach.
The prawn in her mouth didn't even know what it tasted like, but Li Mengmeng looked at Ke Jianhua anxiously, so anxious that tears were about to fall.
"As a matter of fact." Ke Jianhua laughed and said.
"I don't know." Li Mengmeng mumbled to herself.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Hearing that, Ke Xingye could not help but get angry. How many mothers don't know how long they're pregnant?
Ke Jianhua added on, "It's not yours, why do you care so much?"
Ke Xingye immediately stood up, his hand holding onto the bowl tightly, looking like he wanted to throw the bowl right at Ke Jianhua's face.
Glancing at the corner of his eyes, Ke Xingye saw that Li Mengmeng was trembling slightly and thought for a moment before letting go.
The bowl fell to the marble table with a soft clang.
Li Mengmeng's heart trembled a little as she heard that voice.
Before going up the stairs, Ke Xingye glared at Ke Jianhua fiercely, and used his finger to point at Li Mengmeng: "Come and find me later."
Hearing that, Li Mengmeng immediately stood up.
"Come up after you eat." Ke Xingye said somewhat impatiently.
Aunt He who was carrying the dishes saw Ke Xingye going upstairs and said, "Master, this is your favorite Red Braised Meat!"
"I'm so full of energy, what's there to eat?" Ke Xingye's voice was especially loud, and she rolled her eyes at Ke Jianhua fiercely before entering the study.
Luo Zhenhan had not spoken the entire time, but at this moment, she turned her gaze away from Ke Jianhua and Li Mengmeng, looked at the Aunt He and said: "Send some up later."
Aunt He nodded her head in agreement, then laughed and looked at Li Mengmeng: "Miss Li, let's drink the chicken soup while it's hot, do you want some vinegar?"
That pair of eyes was also looking straight at Li Mengmeng's stomach. Li Mengmeng felt that it was too awkward, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only nod her head in agreement.
Aunt He's smile became even more radiant as she happily returned to the kitchen to busy herself.
After Ke Xingye left, the atmosphere at the dining table immediately became relaxed.
After the meal, when she thought of going up to see Ke Xingye by herself, Li Mengmeng became a little nervous. She looked straight at Ke Jianhua, wanting him to go up with her.
Seeing her expression, Luo Zhenhan walked out, "Don't worry, you're two different people now, it's fine."
Hearing that, Li Mengmeng did not dawdle any longer, and awkwardly went up the stairs by herself.
Seeing Li Mengmeng enter the study, the smile on Luo Zhenhan's face immediately disappeared, and her expression became a little serious as she looked at Ke Jianhua, "You come with me, I have something to ask you."
The study room was filled with the rich scent of books. When Li Mengmeng saw the decoration, he thought that she had entered Ke Jianhua's study room.
"Dad." Li Mengmeng took the initiative to shout.
Ke Xingye leaned against the chair with the book in his hand, as if he hadn't heard Li Mengmeng's voice.
Seeing this, Li Mengmeng called out again, but Ke Xingye still did not respond.
Li Mengmeng immediately understood that the old boss was purposely pretending not to hear him.
She just stood there in the study, waiting.
After approximately ten minutes, Ke Xingye seemed to have suddenly discovered Li Mengmeng's existence, "Once you're in the room, why aren't you saying anything?"
Li Mengmeng was speechless, her acting skills were too wonderful.
They had thought that he was an old-fashioned stubborn old man, but from the looks of it, it didn't seem to be true either.
"I didn't disturb you when I saw you reading a book."
"Sit." Ke Xingye's expression was slightly better, as he pointed to the chair opposite him and spoke.
Li Mengmeng sat upright, her hands on her knees, her head lowered.
"Talking to your elders, who asked you to lower your head." Seeing her like that, Ke Xingye could not help but be angry. Was he that terrible?
Li Mengmeng was speechless. There would actually come a day where she would speak face to face with the old CEO and have to look at him.
The old president was always solemn and dignified, so he was a bit scared.
"Do you know who you are?"
Li Mengmeng naturally did not dare to slight Ke Xingye's question.
"Naturally."
"Then why aren't you leaving Ke Jianhua quickly?"
It wasn't that she didn't want to leave their home, it was clearly your son that didn't want to let go, okay? However, he felt that it was a little ridiculous to say it out loud. Who would believe it when a rich and influential person tried to pick up a girl like her?
Seeing that Li Mengmeng did not say a word, Ke Xingye continued to speak, "That brat has a lot of problems. I just want to know what you like about him. "
Li Mengmeng was a little not used to this sudden transformation of the atmosphere.
Why did Ke Jianhua, in the eyes of a woman, who was full of charisma, become a fellow full of weakness in the eyes of his father?
Although Li Mengmeng also thought that Ke Jianhua had a lot of special problems, she did not dare to agree with the old CEO. If it really reached Ke Jianhua's ears, he would definitely suffer a terrible end.
Remembering the plot in the TV series, Li Mengmeng blurted out, "The person I like is him."
Ke Xingye obviously did not believe him, and coldly snorted.
Li Mengmeng said seriously: "Father, I like Ke Jianhua, he's his person. It has nothing to do with money or status. Even if he doesn't have any now, I will still stay by his side. "
It was the same scene in all the love movies that she loved to watch back then. Li Mengmeng was glad that she had a good memory, and was able to remember every single line perfectly.
Since he had returned to his dwelling with Ke Jianhua, he naturally had the duty to coax his parents until they were happy. After all, this was how Ke Jianhua had treated his parents back then.
Ke Xingye stared at Li Mengmeng's face and observed carefully. He looked very calm and humphed twice, "Go down."
Then, as if accidentally, he said, "Aunt He really likes you."
