Chapter 14

His mother cooked a table full of dishes, many of which were my favorites.

Zhou Boyu sat beside me, his face filled with joy.

He thought that as long as I was willing to sit at his house for this meal,

There was still room for us to reconcile.

At the dinner table, he kept serving me food.

His mother continuously reassured me not to believe things on the internet.

She patted her chest, guaranteeing her son’s character.

That he could never do such a disgusting thing.

She smiled at us and said:

“You two should have a child soon after you get married.”

“You both are good-looking.”

“Your child will surely be adorable.”

Zhou Boyu, fearing his mother was being too hasty and might upset me,

Quickly interjected: “Mom, it’s too early to talk about this.”

“Xixi and I haven’t had enough of our time as a couple yet.”

I suddenly put down my chopsticks and replied seriously:

“Auntie, there’s already a child.”

One sentence ignited the dinner table.

Everyone was both surprised and delighted.

My mother, quick as a flash, took away the cola in front of me.

“You child, why didn’t you say anything earlier when you were pregnant?”

His mother’s eyes lit up with joy.

“Xixi, really? Are you really pregnant?”

Zhou Boyu leaned closer to me, his voice brimming with barely suppressed joy:

“Xixi, am I really going to be a father?”

“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

I calmly looked around.

Finally, I spoke without any emotion:

“There is a child.”

“But not in my belly.”
