When I heard this, I was so surprised that I didn't have to force my chin up again and again.

I stared at him. For a moment I didn't know whether to say yes or no.

If I had been hesitant to accept Yu Mo's proposal of marriage at the tourist attraction, now that he had already expressed his feelings for me and had implicated his child, I should have stopped worrying and seemed to agree to his proposal.

However, getting a marriage certificate is not a small matter, and we were only in the first half of the relationship, so we have to become husband and wife in the second half of the day. This makes people feel that it's a bit rude, but if we were to reject it, then even if there were 100,000 reasons, Yu Mo Yi would definitely have 100,001 countermeasures waiting to be taken.

"I can't give you a clear answer for the time being, because I can't make up my own mind about this matter. I have to go home and ask for my mother's opinion, and then —" "No," I said.

My voice trailed off as I spoke, but Yu Mo — he heard me clearly and replied with care.

"It's my negligence. For such a big matter, you have to first ask for the consent of your elders. How about this, I'll accompany you back tomorrow. We'll talk about this with Auntie together."

Tomorrow? Why not now? Am I going to live here tonight? After being slightly stunned, I anxiously said, "Let's head back now. I still have to go to work tomorrow?"

Yu Mo glanced at me and lightly said, "Your job was hired on a temporary basis. It doesn't matter if you go or not. From now on, you'll stay at home and nurture your baby. It won't be too late to wait for the baby to be born before going to work."

The good work was wiped away with a single word from Yu Mo. I glared discontentedly at him, but Yu Mo turned a blind eye to it. What should I do now?

For the sake of the child in my belly, I forced myself not to think about it, and began to work on it in a different way — tormenting Yu Mo — to get some pleasure out of it.

The next day, I got into Yu Mo Yi's car and went home, but as I was driving, I realized that the route was wrong.

I was afraid that Yu Mo would come up with some new tricks, so I quickly asked, "This is not the way home, where are you taking me? Aren't we going to see my mother? "

Yu Mo looked straight ahead and said casually, "Yes, we are just going to see Auntie."

I knew he was cheating. I didn't know if it was due to the pregnancy, so I started to fight him. I said, "Stop the car, or do you believe that I'll jump in?"

Yu Mo saw that I was really angry, so he said honestly, "We are indeed going to see Auntie. The route is also not bad, because Auntie is not at home. She is in a sanatorium in the suburbs."

I was shocked. Why would my mother go to a sanatorium? Did something happen at home again? I was suddenly nervous.

Yu Mo consoled me as he quickly grasped my trembling fingers with his right hand that was supporting the steering wheel.

"Don't worry, Auntie went to the sanatorium was my idea, because your house had to be renovated, so we temporarily arranged for Auntie to stay there. We wanted to bring her home to live with us, but we didn't understand medicine, so if there was an accident, we would be caught off guard, and there is a professional medical team, which would be very beneficial to Auntie's recovery, so I sent her there."

The house is going to be renovated? I was shocked again. I was about to ask why when Yu Mo Yi's phone rang.

He put on the headphones and answered the call. I couldn't hear what was being said, but Yu Mo Yi's words were very clear.

"Because the people living in the house are old people, all the decorating materials are made of wood with excellent environmental protection and good physical structure, remember to avoid slipping and formaldehyde, don't let any negligence occur in this area."

Yu Mo then asked again, "You don't have to worry about the money, but in order to avoid trouble in the future, I will first enter a large portion. The rest will be transferred in full after the examination and approval."

It was already clear that Yu Mo — the old man on the phone — was referring to his mother, who had paid for the house.

The most important thing was that when he said these words, Yu Mo Yi didn't show any signs of perfunctory attitude, or even took a liking to me. His attitude was extremely natural and serious, as if it was his own business.

A person can only do this to another person as if they were their own. As I looked at Yu Mo Yi beside me, a different feeling welled up in my heart.

I thought back to when my father was alive and had said he would have the house refurbished, but then something happened to him, and the decorations were a long way from us, and now it was Yu Mo who had fulfilled my father's last wish.

When Yu Mo hung up, I looked at him gratefully and said sincerely, "Thank you!"

Yu Mo's expression hardened as he said to me, "You are the mother of the child, and I am the father of the child. We are family, so in the future, you are not allowed to be so polite."

I didn't say anything more, but I was still in a state of high spirits. When I arrived at the nursing home and saw my mother, I hugged her and told her, whether she understood me or not, about my marriage with Yu Mo and the decorations at home.

She pushed me to Yu Mo Yi's side, then put my hand in Yu Mo Yi's and clapped happily with both hands.

I understood that my mother was expressing her deepest love for me and Yu Mo with the thought that she was only a few years old.

For the first time, I took the initiative to grab Yu Mo Yi's hand.

A hot gas swam in his ears, and Yu Mo Yi said affectionately, "Let's go back and get our certificates, okay?"

I replied in a choked voice, "Alright."

Yu Mo became agitated as soon as the old man came to talk to his mother. He received her as a son-in-law, gave her his phone number, and repeatedly reminded her that they were not as close as their neighbors. If anything happened to her here, she would have to call him.

Two hours later, Yu Mo was afraid that I would be tired, so he suggested that we go back. After bidding farewell to my mother, I got on Yu Mo Yi's car and hurried back.

Because Yu Mo Yi was very excited and kept whistling. I was also very happy and hummed along with his whistle.

Suddenly, on the wide and flat road, a yellow dog scuttled from outside the railings to the front of the car.

Everything happened so suddenly, Yu Mo Yi wasn't prepared for it at all. He subconsciously slammed on the brakes, causing the car to grind against the ground as it screeched to a halt.

I stood up straight to see if the golden retriever was being held down, but just as I stood up, my small belly crashed straight into the car's side as the car gained momentum.

'Bang! 'a muffled sound was heard.
