Chapter 1149: He Actually Likes Her This Much… (5)
The moment this idea struck, she held her breath and became alert. She nodded at Shen Liangchuan at once.
The two of them got out of bed quietly and noiselessly tiptoed to the door.
Qiao Lian took a deep breath, looked at Shen Liangchuan and made an OK gesture with her hand.
He nodded.
The next moment…
Shen Liangchuan threw the door open, Qiao Lian jumped to the side and the two of them stuck their heads out simultaneously to look!
If Lu Nanze had really planted a spy, then that person would appear right before their eyes now.
But…
They had not expected that the person who was outside the door eavesdropping on them was in fact… Xia Yehua?
Xia Yehua was thoroughly embarra.s.sed too and had a shocked expression on her face. When she saw them, she grimaced. Quickly, in the fas.h.i.+on of a crying thief, she said, “How come the both of you are still not asleep at this hour?”
Shen Liangchuan and Qiao Lian exchanged a glance. Shen Liangchuan turned to Xia Yehua and asked, “Mom, why aren’t you asleep?”
Xia Yehua stammered, “Oh- that- I- erm- I came to tell you that… I’m about to go to bed.”
Shen Liangchuan: …
Qiao Lian: …
Having said that, Xia Yehua waved at them and said, “So I’m off to bed now.”
Qiao Lian: …
She smiled and nodded. Then Xia Yehua suddenly turned around at looked at Shen Liangchuan, saying, “Aren’t you going to accompany me back to my bedroom?”
Qiao Lian was flabbergasted.
She stared at the short distance between the two rooms. It was only two meters.
She wanted Shen Liangchuan to accompany her back to her room?
Qiao Lian lowered her head, finding Mom Xia immensely funny. What sort of secret message did she have for Shen Liangchuan that she had to come up with such an excuse?
She turned to look at the man and nodded at him.
Shen Liangchuan himself had already realized his mother’s intentions, hence he walked over to her with a helpless sigh.
–
Xia Yehua took Shen Liangchuan with her into the guest room.
The moment they entered the room, Xia Yehua quickly shut the door behind them. Following this, she turned to Shen Liangchuan and asked, “Are things between you and Xiao Qiao sorted out?
“Yes, things are fine now,” Shen Liangchuan replied.
“You’re lying! If things are fine, then why didn’t you… do that?”
Shen Liangchuan frowned. “Do what?”
“Urgh. You know, being intimate! Were you two so quiet about it that I couldn’t hear a thing or weren’t you really doing it?”
Shen Liangchuan: … !!
So Xia Yehua had eavesdropped because she wanted to know if the two of them were back together for real.
He was speechless.
As he turned around to leave the room, Xia Yehua held him back by his arm and said, “I’m telling you, now that you’ve found Xiao Qiao, don’t you dare keep me in the dark and put up an act with her. She’s my daughter-in-law, so don’t try playing any tricks, understand?”
Shen Liangchuan was flabbergasted. “Mom, are you really my mom or her mom?”
Speechless with exasperation, he left Xia Yehua’s room and returned to the master bedroom. He saw that Qiao Lian was lying in bed.
She was fast asleep.
It seemed like she was excessively sleepy ever since she got pregnant.
But at the same time, she was worried about her parents’ issue. This was causing her plenty of additional effort during her pregnancy.
His gaze fell on her abdomen.
Noticing that it was still rather flat, the corners of his mouth turned upwards into a faint smile.
This was their baby.
