Liang Xun touched his forehead, looking like an inexperienced high school student. He was overjoyed because of the shy and timid gaze of his crush.
He didnât sleep much that night and looked at Jing Yao sideways.
Jing Yao was sleeping soundly. He couldnât help but go up and touch her carefully.
They were so chaste. If Zhu Sui and the others found out, they would laugh at him for a year.
The next morning, he was still sleeping soundly when the phone rang.
Jing Yao was not awake yet. She hummed unhappily at the ringtone.
Liang Xun immediately sobered up and hurriedly took the phone. He hung up without even looking at who it was.
However, it was obviously too late. Jing Yao opened her eyes and murmured, âThe phone is ringing.â
Liang Xun touched her head and lowered his voice. âItâs fine. Go back to sleep.â
Jing Yao stretched her body slightly and woke up. âIâm not sleeping anymore. Iâm a little hungry.â
Liang Xun did not let her continue sleeping. He let her get up and wash up before going to the balcony to make a call.
It was his dear mother who disturbed his sleep early in the morning. Liang Xun had nowhere to complain, so he could only call Madam Sun Jia back.
As soon as the call went through, Sun Jia said carefully, âI was too excited and couldnât help it. Did I disturb my daughter-in-lawâs sleep?â
Liang Xun said calmly, âYouâve already woken her up.â
Sun Jia was silent.
Liang Xun: âMom, what happened to you? You couldnât wait to call early in the morning.â
At the mention of this, Sun Jia changed her careful expression and said domineeringly, âYou still have the cheek to say that? Liang Xun, if I hadnât found out from your fatherâs friend yesterday, I donât know how long I would have been kept in the dark.â
Liang Xun was puzzled. âWhat did I hide from you?â
Sun Jia snorted and began to list out his crimes. âItâs fine if you donât tell us about your marriage, but you donât even let us see our daughter-in-law. Not only that, but you donât even tell us that our daughter-in-law is already pregnant. Am I still your mother?â
Liang Xun was speechless and could not refute. After all, that was the truth.
Sun Jia didnât hear his voice. She snorted and said, âDo you know that youâre in the wrong? Itâs simple to make up for it. Bring our daughter-in-law back to meet us. You can rest assured that Iâll definitely be the most amiable mother-in-law.â
Liang Xun said helplessly, âMom, itâs not that I donât believe you, but your daughter-in-law is timid. Sheâll be afraid if I bring her back now. Moreover, you know that her situation is special now. Her emotions canât fluctuate too much.â
Sun Jia sighed. âThatâs true, but you canât not tell us anything. Also, the two of you donât have any experience at all. You donât know what you can and canât do when youâre pregnant. Iâm worried too. I have experience and can help you.â
Liang Xun said, âItâs fine. Iâve been reading books related to pregnant women.â
Sun Jia said angrily, âThatâs all theoretical. How can it be as reliable as the experience I obtained? Your father read it back then, but it was useless.â
Liang Xun could not refute.
Sun Jia knew that there was a chance. She softened her tone and said, âI know your concerns. How about this? Let me video call my daughter-in-law. If it really doesnât work, call her. Iâll talk to her.â
Liang Xun pursed his lips. Actually, this suggestion was not bad. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with Jing Yao, so she had to slowly come into contact with his life.
âLet me discuss it with her first. Letâs make it clear first. If she doesnât want to, then forget it. We ll talk about it when sheâs willing.â Liang Xun sounded like she couldnât disagree with him.
Sun Jia said generously, âNo problem. Iâll listen to you.â
When Jing Yao came out after washing up, Liang Xun happened to hang up the phone. His gaze kept landing on Jing Yao.
Jing Yao asked in confusion, âWhatâs wrong?â
Liang Xun walked closer and deliberated over his words before saying, âMy mother called just now. She said that she wants to talk to you.â
Jing Yao froze.
Liang Xun sighed helplessly, feeling that he had been too anxious.
He raised his hand and touched Jing Yaoâs head, comforting her. âItâs okay. Iâll help you reject what you donât want to say.â
Jing Yao pursed her lips, lowered her head, and whispered, âItâs not that I donât want to. Will she not like me?â
Jing Yao was a little worried. After all, she was not liked by the elders. Even her biological parents did not like her.
âHow can that be?â Liang Xun reached out and hugged her. His words were especially sincere. âShe will definitely like you.â
Who could bear to not like you?
