My little uncle was ecstatic. He didnât dare to touch Mai Qi, who was stuck with a silver needle. He grabbed my shoulders and shook them. âIâm going to be a father? Iâm going to be a father? Nanxing! Iâm going to be a father!â
I felt dizzy from his shaking. I raised my head and pleaded, âYes, yes, yes, youâre a father, little uncle!â
My little uncle let go of me and asked Mr. Li foolishly, âSir, am I really going to be a father?â
Mr. Li did not even raise his head. âBut you almost killed this child last night!â
Little Uncleâs expression changed. âAh? Sir? Is the child Alright?â
Mr. Li said lazily, âIf the child is not alright, we wonât be so relaxed.â
He lowered his head and looked at Mai Qi, whose face was already flushed red. He said earnestly, âGirl, no matter how much you love him, you canât let him do whatever he wants! If you canât stop him, then chase him out and sleep in separate rooms!â
Mai Qi hurriedly said, âNo!â
Mr. Li was stunned for a moment.
Mai Qi shyly said, âHe has to stay with me. If heâs not here, the child and I will be afraid.â
She looked at me as if she was asking for help.
I held back my laughter and said to Mr. Li, âYes, master. Then Mai Qi is pregnant. Shouldnât little uncle be by their side?â
Mr. Li rolled his eyes at little uncle and said to me, âThen you have to make him promise to abide by the rules!â
My little uncle didnât dare to say anything.
I quickly made way for him. âDonât worry, donât worry! I guarantee that my uncle will definitely follow the rules!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
I looked at Mai Qi with a faint smile. Mai Qi gave me a fawning smile.
âUm, master, is the child in Mai Qiâs stomach really alright?â I carefully asked on behalf of the two of them.
Mr. Li nodded. âIf the position was slightly off, she wonât be able to keep it. Tsk! Really! Young people! You must be careful in the future. Itâs the same for Mai Qi. Why donât you have any common sense at all?â
Mai Qi lowered her eyes.
Recalling what Mai Qi told me yesterday, I couldnât help but say, âMaster, donât blame her. Itâs normal for girls like us who donât have a mother by our side to give us advice.â
Mr. Li glared at me relentlessly. âDonât make excuses. Youâre all highly educated people!â
I smiled apologetically. âThen why donât you teach us what we should pay attention to?â
Mr. Li calmed down and gave us some basic education. Then, he said, âWeâll have to tell Old Madam Jing and Madam Jing about this. Itâll be more reassuring to let them take care of us. You, young people, are so unreliable.â
My youngest uncle immediately said, âThen, then Iâll send Mai Qi to the Jing family. Iâll feel more at ease with them taking care of Mai Qi.â
âI wonât go!â Mai Qi objected.
My uncle was put in a difficult position. âThen what should we do? Then, then Iâll ask Jing Tian to call a few experienced servants from their family over.â
At this moment, he only cared about Mai Qi.
Mr. Li was very satisfied with this attitude. Therefore, he said, âYou donât have to be too nervous. Iâll instruct you about the food and daily care. Go and greet old Mrs. Jing. Theyâll naturally come over to take care of you. With Mai Qiâs character, she wonât behave well. You just need to take care of her normally.
âAlthough todayâs matter is dangerous, itâs not a big deal. Itâs also a blessing for your Tong family. Cherish it well, Kid! But I believe Qu Hao will be very mad about this. If he finds out that his sister is pregnant, Tong Leâ¦â
