Chapter 331: Pregnant… but Not Completely Pregnant?
Pregnant? She’s definitely pregnant?
If that’s true, then maybe the wedding needs to be moved up!
Some families were happy, some were worried.
Xia Changyu’s family was overjoyed, almost to the point of wanting to build a shrine and worship Lin Yibai.
But Lin Yibai’s parents were starting to get worried. As the saying goes, ‘You can know a person’s face, but not their heart.’
The world is dangerous, and people can be tricky. They were afraid that once the other side found out their daughter was pregnant, they might try to ask for more money or change the deal.
So, this conversation had to go both ways.
After Xia Changyu was dragged out like a little chicken, his father stared at him with a serious face and asked, “Son, I just have one question. You and Baiyi… uh, well, as your elder this is a bit embarrassing to ask, but… do you guys take any safety precautions?”
“Safety precautions?” Xia Changyu looked totally confused. “What kind of precautions? Me and Baiyi? We didn’t use any. Why would we?”
His dad froze, “So you mean… even during her most fertile days, you didn’t?”
Xia Changyu patted his chest confidently and said, “Come on, Dad! What fertile days? That stuff’s all made up. Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”
What fertile days?
If someone knew about his past “bloody battles”, they’d understand why he didn’t care much about safety anymore. After all, he’s been through the “bloody time!”
Of course, he didn’t dare say that out loud. Otherwise, he’d sound like a total animal, doing that even when a girl’s on her period? That’s inhuman!
But little by little, Xia Changyu started to feel something wasn’t right. When he finally realized what his dad meant, he quickly reached out to stop his father, who was already pulling off his Hermès belt, clearly getting ready for a good old-fashioned father-son “lesson.”
Xia Changyu grabbed his dad’s hands and said, “Dad, come on! That can’t be true, right? How could Baiyi… how could she possibly be pregnant just like that?”
His dad tugged at the belt, but couldn’t pull it free. Still, he was furious and shouted, “Explain this to me, what do you mean by can’t be? You didn’t use protection, and you two… what, three times a week? Maybe even five?”
He continued, “Of course she got pregnant! That’s totally normal!”
Hold on! Wait just a second.
Dear Father,
What do you mean by ‘three or five times a week’? Please don’t judge us young people by your middle-aged standards!
Xia Changyu felt insulted!
He pouted and hesitated for a while, then finally said, “Okay, maybe you have a point. But let me correct one thing, it’s not three or five times a week, it’s three or five times a day.”
Hearing that, his dad got so mad he wanted to beat him on the spot.
“Shut up, you ungrateful brat! You idiot… Is this really the time to argue about how many times?!”
And now, he was even more certain about it.
They’re young, they didn’t use protection, and they were doing it a lot. If she’s not pregnant, that would be weird. Or worse, maybe there’s something wrong with the girl’s ability to get pregnant?
The two of them went completely silent for a while.
Finally, Xia Changyu muttered like he was waking up from a dream, “So… you mean… wait… oh crap, Baiyi… oh crap, oh crap—she’s really pregnant?! Oh crap!”
Oh crap, your stupid chicken leg!
Look what you’ve done. Now all you can say is “oh crap,” huh?
His father smacked him hard on the back of the head, looking at him like he was hopeless.
His father gave a serious warning to his son and said firmly, "This is a responsibility. It’s a responsibility every man must take. Back then, I also... no, forget that part. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Xia Changyu looked a little lost, both excited and nervous. He said, “Th-th-then I... damn, Baiyi... I want to marry her right now! I can’t wait even one more second!”
But there was no need to rush just yet. They still needed to confirm from different sources whether Lin Yibai was really pregnant.
At least from Xia Changyu’s side, it was clear, he never used any protection!
Before talking about anything else, his father gave a serious warning.
“We don’t know what Baiyi’s condition is right now, but listen carefully! If you dare give her any strange medicine, and something happens to my grandson or granddaughter. Watch out, I might just kill you.”
If there really was going to be a grandchild, then forget about the son, who cares about him! What mattered was the grandchild, his stupid son could go chill somewhere far away.
After the two of them finished their talk, they returned to the private room. At that moment, Lin Yibai was feeling really confused. She was just feeling nauseous, bloated, and wanted to throw up.
So why was everyone suddenly treating her like a princess?
When she stood up, they rushed to stop her in case she bumped into something. When she walked, they worried she might trip. Even drinking water, they were scared it might be too cold for her.
It was just too much!
Lin Yibai finally asked, “Wait, what’s wrong with you guys?”
Xia Zhilan quickly said, “N-n-nothing! Nothing at all! Haha, hahaha... Come, try to eat something. We specially ordered these sweet and sour ribs just for you. They’re tangy and sweet. Give them a try!”
Lin Yibai looked at them confused.
This whole family, including her own parents, what’s gotten into them? Did they all take the wrong medicine or something?
But actually, they were more afraid she might take the wrong medicine.
The reason for today’s family gathering was mainly to talk about the engagement.
But looking at how things were going, it seemed like they might just skip the engagement step entirely.
Lin Yibai still had no idea what kind of strange thoughts were going through everyone’s heads.
She checked the time and wanted to get back to Fucheng early. So she got up and said goodbye.
“If we really are going to get engaged, I think you guys can talk it over yourselves. I have no problem with it! Also, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to Fucheng now… While there’s still time, I’ll go to the hospital and get some medicine. My stomach really hurts… I feel sick and nauseous. I don’t know if it’s motion sickness or a stomach problem, sigh.”
Wait, you’re still thinking about stomach medicine?
You feel sick and want to throw up, could it possibly be morning sickness?
The whole family definitely wasn’t going to let her go back alone. Xia’s father immediately shot a deadly glare at his son, like he was ready to kill him, and told him with his eyes to go take care of her.
Xia Changyu immediately got nervous and carefully caught up to her. “Baiyi, let me take you home.”
Lin Yibai didn’t say no. “Okay.”
After all, things like the engagement, the bride price, the dowry, and all those traditions. Those were for the parents to discuss. Young people didn’t need to get too involved.
She just wanted to get back to work soon!
She didn’t want marriage to mess with her job. She couldn’t afford to take a long break right after starting a new position. Her coworkers at the office would probably cry if she did that!
Xia Changyu first drove her to the hospital, and seriously suggested, “Let’s not go to the stomach clinic. Just do a full body check-up, especially an ultrasound.”
Lin Yibai gave him a huge eye-roll and scolded him, “What are you even thinking?! I just had a full check-up when I got my government job! I’m super healthy. And now my stomach hurts, and you want me to get an ultrasound? Are you confused or what?”
Yes, you’re very healthy.
But what about our baby?
