Song Yun's expression turned odd when he heard this, he had said something, but not everything.
"Hmm, I indeed said what should be said..."
"Looks like you still know some things you shouldn't? Like those close female friends of your father?"
Hearing his mother's words, Song Yun panicked, thinking to himself, how did his own mother gain the ability to read minds!
"So you knew all along?"
"All the glory your father had in Forty-nine City is vivid in my mind, how could I not know?" Bai Qiu said with a smile, "I'll tell you this, a man is like a kite, you can't be pulling tight on that string every moment. It tires you out, and it tires him too. A little slack is good for the marriage."
"So you don't mind?"
It was the first time Ye Qingqing had heard such a sentiment and asked, quite shocked.
"To say I don't mind would be lying, but what can I do when your father-in-law is so outstanding? Plus, he always had the mind but not the guts to cheat, so I just let him be."
...
As evening neared, Song Bu swaggered in, slumped onto the couch, and announced, "All done!"
"Hard work, husband. Let's clean up and go meet Qingqing's parents."
Bai Qiu tenderly massaged Song Bu's shoulders, appearing very gentle and lovely.
Song Yun, sitting on the couch, was pondering a question. Given the rumors about his mother in the Forty-nine City as well as the Ouyang Family, why did she now seem no different from an ordinary mother at this moment?
If Song Bu knew what his son was thinking, he would surely pat his shoulder and say with a sigh, "Your mother is amazing because she can adapt to any situation and become the most suitable person for it."
In front of her husband and son, Bai Qiu was just an ordinary wife and mother.
The four of them drove to the Ye family's house with Song Yunkai at the wheel.
At that moment, Ye Qingqing's father was waiting anxiously at the door. The return of Song Yun's parents—who had, with a single phone call, brokered an alliance with the Zhao family of Forty-nine City—made him wonder what kind of presence they would possess in person?
"Dad, we're back~"
When the car stopped, Ye Qingqing rushed forward to give her father a hug.
Ye Qingqing's father patted his daughter's back reassuringly, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the ring on her finger, immediately recognizing it as an heirloom that had been passed down for generations. It seemed Song Yun's parents were quite pleased with his daughter!
"Hello, I am Song Yun's father, Song Bu."
"Hello, hello, it's an honor to finally meet you!"
Ye Qingqing's father shook hands with Song Bu and then, turning to Bai Qiu, his pupils noticeably constricted. He asked in disbelief, "You... could you be Rose from Forty-nine City?"
"Hehe, that's just a nickname others gave me," replied Bai Qiu with a laugh. "Our Song Yun has been quite the bother to you recently."
"Ugh..."
Ye Qingqing suddenly felt a surge in her stomach and covered her mouth as she dashed to the bathroom.
Seeing this, Bai Qiu's eyes sparkled with a glint, as if she had discovered something important.
When Ye Qingqing returned, Mother Ye asked with concern, "Qingqing, did you eat something bad?"
"No, just feeling a bit uncomfortable... Ugh..."
"What should we do? I'll call a private doctor over."
"Hold on, big sister, I've learned some medical skills."
Bai Qiu had studied some traditional Chinese medicine with an elder in her family in her earlier years, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably after taking the pulse.
"Sister Bai, what's the situation?" Read exclusive adventures at m_v-l'-novelhall.net
"She's pregnant!"
Bai Qiu whispered excitedly, lowering her voice.
"You mean Qingqing is..."
Mother Ye rubbed her belly and, seeing Bai Qiu nod heavily, was overjoyed.
"Moms, what are you talking about behind my back?"
Ye Qingqing pouted and asked in a coquettish tone.
"You need to take good care of yourself in the next ten months! You're not just representing one person now!"
Hearing Bai Qiu's words, Ye Qingqing was initially puzzled, but then her face changed, and she carefully guarded her belly, realizing she was pregnant!
"What whispers are the three beautiful ladies sharing?"
Song Yun leaned in with a cheeky smile and asked; he had been drinking a lot with Father Ye and his own father today, and even his high tolerance was beginning to waver.
"Son, you're going to be a father!"
"Father... a father???"
Song Yun's expression gradually shifted from amusement to astonishment as he looked at his mother in disbelief.
"Who called me?"
Song Bu interjected in a rather mood-killing manner, but was ignored by everyone.
"Mom... could you repeat what you just said, what am I going to be?"
Song Yun stood up, his palm gently caressing Ye Qingqing's belly as he asked.
