It really is a happy occasion.
If Ye Fan knew, he would be overjoyed.
Bai Susu was somewhat impatient to share the good news with Ye Fan.
Today, Ye Fan wasnât at home; he had something to attend to and was dealing with matters with Mr. Zhuge.
Otherwise, he definitely would have come with her.
âThatâs fantastic, I just knew it must be pregnancy. Letâs go home. Iâll make you some delicious food,â Mother Ye said happily, holding Bai Susuâs hand, very excited.
Thatâs wonderful!
The little ones will have a new little brother or sister.
Little Fourth wonât be the youngest anymore.
You see, although Little Fourth is the youngest, each time sheâs a bit defiant, she feels regret and wonders why she couldnât have come out a few seconds earlier.
The little one is naturally very active, almost like a boy in character.
This time, if Little Fourth knew, she would be really happy. Sheâs finally not the youngest anymore.
âThank you, mom, heh heh,â Bai Susu said with a smile.
Mother Ye was truly good to her.
No matter what itâs about, whether itâs food or anything else, sheâs always the first one Mother Ye thinks about. Though called a daughter-in-law, she is treated just like a biological daughter.
Even her own biological parents had never done so for her.
Therefore, Bai Susu truly loved her current life and also the people by her side.
These were all very important people to her.
âSilly child, itâs going to be tough on you again this time, but donât worry, mom will take good care of you,â Mother Ye said, reaching out to stroke Bai Susuâs somewhat pale cheeks affectionately.
This Susu has been vomiting so much these past few days, sheâs hardly eaten anything. Looking at her, sheâs lost some weight, and her complexion isnât looking very good either.
âNo, I feel very blessed,â Bai Susu said, reaching out to hold Mother Yeâs wrist tenderly.
She truly felt blessed.
Because of Ye Fan, she had all this affection, the warmth and comfort she had always longed for.
âSilly child, letâs go. You havenât been eating well these past days, and your complexion looks a bit off. This time, the vomiting has been so severe, Iâll stew some black chicken with goji berries and red dates soup for you, to nourish you,â Mother Ye said with a smile.
With that, the two of them left the hospital, heading towards home.
They were escorted out by a bodyguard driving them.
But, just as Bai Susu and Ye Fan were leaving the hospital, they came across someone they should not have seen.
Mother Ye did not recognize her, but Bai Susu did.
Thisâ¦
How could she run into her here?
âWhat a coincidence, Bai Susu. I have something to tell you,â Xia Lili said, her eyes filled with envy.
All of this should have been hers.
It was Bai Susu who took everything from her.
But now, she had come to terms with it.
Itâs all fate.
âYou are?â Mother Ye asked Xia Lili.
âAuntie hello, my name is Xia Lili,â Xia Lili replied with a slight smile, though she looked a bit haggard.
âHello,â Mother Ye always felt that the name sounded familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
But, she couldnât quite remember it at the moment.
âLetâs talk over there. Mom, please wait here for me. Iâll be back soon,â Bai Susu said to Mother Ye.
âOkay, go on, be careful!â Mother Ye said.
Bai Susu and Xia Lili moved to a spot not far away, just five or six metersâ distance.
Mother Ye could keep an eye on them from a distance, so she didnât have to worry too much.
This Xia Lili, the more Mother Ye thought about it, the more the name sounded familiar.
Meanwhile, Xia Lili was somewhat surprised.
She hadnât expected that Bai Susu would really agree to talk to her.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âIâm surprised, I didnât think you would agree to talk with me,â Xia Lili said.
âThereâs no need to be surprised. I know all about it, you are Ye Fanâs girlfriend, and youâve been dating for over a month. Just say what you want to say,â Bai Susu said, her tone very calm.
She knew that Ye Fan had told her everything about the past.
This Xia Lili, she was the one who had given up Ye Fan initially, so what did she want now?
Besides, three or four years had already passed.
âActually, itâs nothing much. I just wanted to say that I regret things from before. If that incident hadnât happened, maybe your current position would be mine. Bai Susu, please love Ye Fan well. Heâs a good man,â Xia Lili spoke slowly.
Then, she sighed deeply.
Yes, indeed.
If only we hadnât broken up back then, how wonderful that would have been.
Frankly, I was the one who initiated the breakup, so my current predicament is of my own doing.
No one else is to blame!
âYou came all this way to tell me this? I think this is quite unnecessary!â said Bai Susu, her voice cold yet tinged with a hint of amusement.
Heh heh~
To be honest, Xia Lili did nothing wrong, and neither did Ye Fan!
Itâs just fate playing tricks on us, I guess!
However, bumping into me today and saying all these things does seem superfluous.
My own husband, how could I, Bai Susu, not love him dearly?
And besides, I donât need someone else to judge whether my husband is good or not; as long as I think heâs good, thatâs enough.
âIndeed, it does seem a bit unnecessary. Iâm getting married too, so, Iâve moved on from the past and wish you happiness!â Xia Lili finished speaking and then turned to leave.
In reality, she had been brooding over the breakup for years, always thinking how nice it would have been if she hadnât broken up with Ye Fan.
But then, returning to reality, it was all just a daydream.
There is no medicine for regret in this world.
So, whatâs missed is missed!
Thereâs simply no way to go back to the starting point.
She truly regretted not treasuring Ye Fan more when she had the chance.
Bai Susu watched Xia Liliâs retreating figure, her feelings growing complicated for a moment.
âSusu, whatâs wrong?â Mother Ye came up to Bai Susuâs side. Seeing that Bai Susu looked troubled, she asked with concern.
What had that girl said to her daughter-in-law just now?
Why such an expression all of a sudden.
âMom, itâs nothing; letâs go home!â Bai Susu said with a smile, taking Mother Yeâs arm.
âAlright, alright, letâs go, home!â
Mother Ye also breathed a sigh of relief; no trouble, thatâs good!
Xia Lili watched the extremely close mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair from around the corner, feeling nothing but envy in her heart.
After all, that happiness wasnât hers.
~~~~~
Once home, Mother Ye began to make black chicken soup for Bai Susu. Initially wanting to help, Bai Susu was shooed out of the kitchen by Mother Ye.
On the pretext that pregnant women shouldnât enter the kitchen!
With no other choice, Bai Susu settled on the couch, watching Mother Yeâs busy figure.
How nice!
Her heart was filled with warmth.
âMommy, Mommy, why are you just staring at Grandma?â Ye Bing asked his mother, Bai Susu, curiously.
Indeed!
Grandma was cooking in the kitchen, so why was his mother just staring at Grandmaâs back, eyes growing red.
What was that about?
âSilly child, Iâm just happy. Everything that I have now, I cherish and care for very much!â Bai Susu answered.
âOh, I donât quite understand!â Ye Bing tilted his little head, looking puzzled.
âWhere are your sisters?â Bai Susu asked.
How come it was only Ye Bing left among the little ones?
âTheyâre all playing in the yard, playing hide and seek with Niuniu,â said Ye Bing sweetly.
Thatâs right!
They were hiding and Niuniu was seeking.
He was playing too, but got thirsty so he came in to drink some water, and then saw his mother Bai Susu intently watching Grandmaâs back.
âGo and play with them,â Bai Susu said, patting the childâs head.
âOkay, Iâm off then!â Ye Bing kissed Bai Susuâs cheek and dashed off.
Bai Susu smiled, her treasure, her little cotton-padded jacket indeed.
After sitting for a while, Bai Susu couldnât stay put any longer, so she left the house to take a seat on the swing in the yard and began to sway leisurely,
Looking at the children playing so happily not too far away, she couldnât help but smile.
Wait a minute, itâs actually true.
Niuniu was indeed earnestly seeking them and even pinpointed their locations.
Was Niuniu really just an ordinary Little Red Bird?
Something seemed off!
Had she overlooked something?
