Chapter 726: If You Don’t Put On An Act, You Won’t Die (2)
After watching the two children with Joy for a while, Su He turned her attention back to Zhao Youlin and looked behind Zhao Youlin. As if she had sensed something, she asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t Yue Yue come with you today? Did something happen?”
Su He and An Yue had met each other when they were pregnant. Along the way, they could be said to be comrades-in-arms who fought together. Under such circ.u.mstances, the two of them had now become good friends who talked about everything.
Su He had also sent out invitations to An Yue and her husband, so Su He naturally thought that An Yue would also come with Zhao Youlin today. Unfortunately…
Zhao Youlin smiled, she said in a low voice, “Well, Yue Yue and my brother might not be able to come today. You should have heard that Yue Yue has been through a lot recently. My mother is really worried about letting her go out again, so before she came, she already tasked me to pa.s.s along the gift for the children. She also asked me to apologize to you.”
Su He nodded. Although it was a pity… she could understand it. “What’s there to be sorry about? I’ve heard about what happened to Yue Yue recently. It’s understandable that your mother wouldn’t want her to go out. I’m already very happy that she still remembered to ask you to come over and tell me.”
Zhao Youlin nodded. Su He immediately changed the topic. Her face was full of curiosity. “But speaking of which, Youlin, are you… is cousin acting differently from usual?”
Zhao Youlin was stunned. She could not understand why the topic had changed so quickly. “What’s different? Isn’t he the same?”
“Huh? Is that so? Does he not love you more and pamper you more than before?” Su He looked surprised.
Zhao Youlin frowned and thought for a moment, but she came to a conclusion. “No, because he already loves and pampers me.”
Su He was speechless. What’s with this inexplicable sensation of someone flexing?!
The banquet had yet to begin, so Zhao Youlin could bring Joy up to see the children first. Otherwise, when the banquet started, there would definitely be a crowd coming around to see the children, and it would be inconvenient for her to bring Joy to see the children.
When the banquet was about to start, Zhao Youlin took Joy down. Joy reluctantly said goodbye to the two children before following Zhao Youlin downstairs.
When Zhao Youlin went downstairs, Mu Tingfeng and Ye Yan were talking. When they heard the noise, they immediately stopped talking and looked over. When they saw Zhao Youlin walking down the stairs with joy, they immediately walked over and held Zhao Youlin’s hand. They brought her to their side.
Ye Yan saw Mu Tingfeng’s every move. He smiled and said, “How many months has it been?”
“Almost three months.”
“It’s pretty fast. Congratulations.”
When Zhao Youlin heard his congratulations, she sensed that it was a little subdued. One had to know that a year ago, this person had been pursuing her with all his might. But now, it didn’t feel too bad.
Zhao Youlin smiled and nodded. “Thank you.”
“I heard about the Zhao family. Since your big brother and sister-in-law aren’t here today, I think the family is worried about letting your sister-in-law come to such a crowded place. These days, I’ve been busy taking care of Xiao Qi and haven’t visited them. Please go back and help me convey my concern for them.”
Unlike Su He, Ye Yan had already expected that Han Yichen and the others might not come, so he was not surprised by their absence.
Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng looked at each other and replied with a smile, “Okay, we’ll convey it.”
As the few of them were talking, they suddenly heard a familiar baby-like cry, “Big Brother… Big Brother…”
Joy, who was being held by Zhao Youlin, heard this voice. His eyes lit up and he turned around. As expected, she saw Su Qing walking towards them with the little brat in her arms. The little brat’s eyes lit up when he saw Joy. Even while in Su Qing’s arms, he opened his arms and was about to pounce on him.
Su Qing was afraid that he would fall, so she quickly hugged him even harder. As she fought with the little brat, she complained in her heart. This little brat had no conscience. Why wasn’t he so happy whenever he saw her and his father? She really gave birth to him for nothing, the little ingrate, hmph!
The child did not know how unhappy his mom was because of his actions. All he wanted to do was to move closer to Joy. As soon as Su Qing put him down, he immediately staggered and pounced on Joy, gnawing on Joy’s cheek.
Su Qing put up a double facepalm. She thought to herself, “Why did I give birth to such a disappointing son? It’s better to have a daughter!”
Her son had already betrayed her, so Su Qing was very tired. She could only find a topic to divert her attention, and Zhao Youlin’s stomach undoubtedly became the best topic. “Youlin, how many months has it been?”
“Um…” The smile on Zhao Youlin’s face froze. She thought helplessly, why does everyone like to ask me this question?
Although she was tired, she replied honestly, “About three months.”
“Three months? Didn’t you get pregnant less than two months after you got married?” Su Qing rubbed her chin and stared at Zhao Youlin’s belly with a face full of emotion, “Tsk, tsk, tsk. The two of you are really fast. Didn’t you say earlier that Joy didn’t want any siblings? Joy has only just come to terms with it, and you’re already pregnant. You’re really racing against time. You were not slacking at all!”
Su Qing’s words were extremely embarra.s.sing to Zhao Youlin. She could only turn her head and glare at Mu Tingfeng, signaling him with her eyes to quickly rein in his cousin!
Mu Tingfeng smiled slightly. He tightened his grip on Zhao Youlin’s hand and said in a low voice, “So?”
Su Qing was stunned. Looking at her cousin’s appearance, she suddenly had a bad premonition. “So?”
“When are you guys going to give birth to a younger brother or sister for Dudu?”
Mu Tingfeng’s words. .h.i.t the bull’s eye. Su Qing only felt a bolt of lightning striking down on her head. She was completely stunned. After a long while, she finally came back to her senses and glared fiercely at Mu Tingfeng.
Giving birth to a younger brother and sister for Dudu? She couldn’t even deal with this single little hobbit now. If another one came, it would turn her life upside down, wouldn’t it?
With this thought in mind, Su Qing was about to open her mouth and argue with Mu Tingfeng. She wanted to teach this rude cousin a lesson. However, someone who had been following behind her all along spoke first. “It is indeed something to consider.”
Su Qing suddenly froze and turned around stiffly. She looked at her husband with a blank expression. Are you kidding me?!
