Chapter 1268 - Already So Famous
Trial Marriage Husband: Need to Work Hard
Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi
Reality proved that becoming parents was inevitable when a couple didnât use contraception and spent every night indulging in their passionate activity.
When Mo Ziyan saw the two lines on her pregnancy test, she was completely dumbfounded. It took her quite some time to realize that she was actually becoming a mother. She had been jealous of Mo Zixi in the past, but she no longer had to be.
âI know youâre happy, but donât go overboard,â Gu Qingli reminded gently. âYouâre a mother now, so donât be careless, OK?â
Mo Ziyan nodded her head, but she still couldnât hide the excitement on her face.
âWe need to tell Mom and Dad as soon as possible so they can be happy too.â
âLetâs go home for dinner tonight then,â Mo Ziyan suggested.
Mo Ziyan had always imagined how life would be like as a parent. Although she had taken care of Xingzhe in the past, she wasnât satisfied.
Now, things were perfect. She was about to have her own little family. It was an amazing feeling.
Afterwards, Mo Ziyan gave Tangning a phone call. But, she did not explain anything and Tangning did not suspect anything.
That night, when the couple returned to Hyatt Regency, Mo Ziyan was extremely excited and proud. This made Gu Qingli quite worried, âI told you not to act so carelessly. Walk properly.â
When Tangning saw how Gu Qingli reacted, she immediately guessed what was going on. So, before Mo Ziyan got the chance to say anything, Tangning asked, âAre you pregnant?â
âMom...if your guesses are always so accurate, then thereâs no surprise!â
âYour timingâs great, your Brother Twoâs coming home tonight and he hasnât met Qingli yet. You can take this opportunity to meet each other.â
Since the two men were both educators, Tangning assumed they would have quite a lot of things to chat about.
Gu Qingli nodded his head. He was actually very curious about the Mo Brothers and had wanted to meet them for a long time, but he never had the chance.
However, his gaze remained on Mo Ziyan the entire time because he was worried that sheâd forget she was pregnant.
Because of this, Tangning decided not to question Mo Ziyan and question Gu Qingli instead, âNow that you have a kid, what about your marriage?â
âIâm not going to lie, Mom, we already registered our marriage two months ago.â
âYouâre not holding a wedding?â Tangning didnât notice that Gu Qingli had called her âMomâ.
âZiyan said no one in her family has ever held a wedding, so she didnât want to waste her energy on it either. After all, a happy marriage isnât defined by formalities like that,â Gu Qingli replied gently; he was always calm and polite.
Tangning nodded her head at this response, âSince itâs your choice, I wonât interfere. Now that Ziyan is pregnant, you need to take good care of her. She may be capable, but sheâs not mature enough; she needs someone by her side to constantly remind and guide her.â
âI will definitely take good care of her, you donât have to worry, Mom.â
Tangning didnât actually have much to worry about because Gu Qingli was mature, reliable and very caring.
On the other hand, Mo Ziyanâs personality had a lot that needed changing.
But, Tangning didnât want to nag her
A little later, Mo Zichen arrived home with Qian Lan. When he first saw an unfamiliar man in his home, he was a little surprised, but he quickly regained his composure.
After all, nothing could be hidden from him, not even this brother-in-law.
âOh, itâs Professor Gu.â
As soon as Gu Qingli saw Mo Zichen, he knew he wasnât an average person. Especially when he looked into his eyes, it appeared as though he could completely see through a person.
âBrother Two,â Gu Qingli greeted according to seniority.
âSecond-sister-in-law...â Mo Ziyan immediately announced her good news when she saw Qian Lan, â...Iâm pregnant. Youâre about to become an auntie...â
Mo Zichen looked at Gu Qingli. He couldnât believe they were so fast.
âI heard that Brother Two is a physics professor.â
âI also heard that youâve had a lot of achievements.â
The two men were polite to each other, but Mo Zichen knew that being a professor was just a cover for Gu Qingli.
âHaiz...I never knew I was already so famous.â
âSomeoneâs had a crush on you for 4 years. So, your nameâs quite familiar in this household,â Mo Zichen replied. âIâve heard quite a lot about you. If you were another man, I would have paralyzed you by now.â
Mo Zichen acknowledged Gu Qingli.
He built his own fortune, kept a low profile and never did anything reckless.
Based on these positive points, Gu Qingli was definitely worthy of his spoilt sister.
âBrother Twoâs overpraising me. If you have anything I can help with in the future, please let me know.â
âApart from Mom and Dad, you are the best moneymaker in this household. I may need to leech off you in the future.â
Ever since Mo Zichen revealed his identity to Mo Zixi, his identity was no longer much of a secret at home, after all, he had been promoted to director, so his identity was already exposed.
Hence, it had been a long time since he went to school.
âBrother Two, itâs bad enough that youâve neglected us and deceived us for so many years, stop lying to my Brother Four,â Mo Ziyan protected Gu Qingli. âMy brother works at the Ministry of State Security, heâs a pretty impressive person!â she explained to Gu Qingli.
No wonder Mo Zichen knew so much about him.
It seemed, from the moment that Mo Ziyan started having a crush on him, Mo Zichen had already uncovered his entire background.
But, of course, Mo Ziyan was home to announce the good news of her pregnancy today.
Now that Mo Ziyan was about to become a mother, Tangning no longer felt like she had such a huge burden.
âYou were only married for 2 months and youâre already pregnant. It seems, youâre honestly fond of our Xingzhe. Do you really like children that much?â Mo Zichen teased, âOr do you want to tie down your husband now that youâve finally got him in your hands?â
âI wouldnât be talking if I were you. Are you afraid that no one knows about your history? You waited 5 years for sister-in-law and I waited 4 years for Brother Four, so letâs not tease each other.â
âNow that I think about it, Big Brotherâs also quite pitiful too. He wasted 4 years and was still being deceived like a fool.â
âWhy is everyone focused on dissing each other tonight?â Tangning laughed.
Mo Zichen also laughed, but he eventually replied in seriousness, âMom, weâve made you worry over the years. Now that Yan Er has her own family as well, you donât need to worry anymore. You can place your focus on Dad so he wonât torment us from now on.â
âLetâs wait until Yan Er safely gives birth first...â
Since she gave birth to three kids, how could Tangning let go so easily?
It was true that Mo Ting didnât want her to get involved with her childrenâs lives, but what mother could truly do that?
In fact, if her three kids stopped needing her, it would actually make her feel quite empty...
And that emptiness could not be filled even by Mo Tingâs love.
