Indeed, the news of Ye Xiaomeng’s pregnancy felt like a thunderbolt exploding between them.

Mother He wore a look of disbelief, while Yao Ning seemed as if she had been slapped, dejected and stunned by the news.

Yao Ning still hadn’t managed to gather herself from the shock.

She thought her efforts would be rewarded.

She thought that by pleasing Auntie, she would gain approval and her relationship with He Ming would progress. Now, looking back, she realized she had been deluding herself.

From start to finish, He Ming never expressed any affection for her. She had simply let her imagination run wild.

He Ming had his beloved, and now, they were expecting a child together, the culmination of their love.

Suddenly, she felt that everything she had done was a joke, a colossal joke.

All these years of loving him, the belief that had sustained her seemed to be crumbling.

She was devastated by He Ming’s news.

A man must love a woman to willingly impregnate her, to raise a child with her.

Yao Ning hadn’t uttered a word since hearing the news. She wanted to graciously congratulate them.

But she found her voice stuck in her throat, unable to speak.

Seeing Yao Ning’s expression, Mother He felt her heart ache.

Turning to He Ming, she asked, “Why is this news so sudden? Didn’t the tests say you couldn’t conceive? How did this happen? Are you sure it’s true?”

Mother He truly doubted, worried that He Ming had been deceived by Xiaomeng.

So, she voiced her concerns.

“It’s true. At the last prenatal checkup, I saw our child. It’s still very small.” He Ming recalled that scene, feeling a surge of joy in his heart.

It was his child, his pride. He didn’t need her to achieve fame and fortune in the future; he just wanted her to grow up healthy.

Seeing the enraptured expression on his face, Mother He finally believed it too.

Ye Xiaomeng was indeed pregnant, but why wasn’t she as overjoyed as he had imagined?

“Ming, she’s pregnant. After the baby is born, I can help take care of it. But as for her…” Mother He’s meaning was clear: they could have the child, but they could do without the child’s mother.

“Mom, Xiaomeng and I will be getting married soon. I hope you can bless us.” He Ming cut straight to the point, ignoring Mother He’s implications.

Indeed, he had been too cautious before, always worried about upsetting his mother, about this and that. Now he announced their marriage directly.

After saying it out loud, he felt much lighter. After all, this process was something they would definitely have to go through. He hoped to gain the approval and blessings of his family.

He didn’t want to delay anymore, because who knew what other unexpected changes might occur?

“I disagree. We need to discuss this matter further.” Mother He’s face darkened instantly.

“Ming, congratulations.” Though Yao Ning felt like her heart was being torn apart, she still maintained the basic decorum and grace.

“Thank you for your blessings. You must come to our wedding banquet.” He Ming responded politely.

Whether the lipstick incident was intentional or accidental, he didn’t want to pursue it for now. But he had become more cautious in his heart.

He really couldn’t allow such things to happen again.
