Chapter 557: 556: Mrs. Tan Gives Birth (Second Update)

The night darkens.

Luo Xiaolang could feel her heartbeat quickening.

Joe’s hand held hers tightly, encapsulating her within his palm.

Luo Xiaolang’s face reddened.

She now basically understood what Joe was about to do next.

Yin Qin was right.

They were adults after all.

Adult love was bound to be different.

She did not reject him.

She felt Joe leaning in.

Since that time in the hospital, they had not engaged in any intimate actions.

Perhaps it was because their home was often occupied and they didn’t have the chance to.

But now.

It was just the two of them.

She silently accepted everything Joe was doing to her.

And she was truly nervous.

Thinking back to her time with Yin Qin, it felt like a distant past.

At that time, she really didn’t understand anything.

She didn’t even know how to feel shy.

So, she had no emotional reactions.

She bit her lip, feeling a bit at a loss.

Joe could see Luo Xiaolang’s nervousness, but he… he’d been waiting for her for a long time.

He laid her on the sofa.

The two of them in such close proximity.

Joe wasn’t holding back anymore…

Suddenly.

Luo Xiaolang’s phone rang harshly.

The shrill ringtone really did disrupt them.

Luo Xiaolang turned her head to look at the phone on the coffee table.

Joe paused.

Neither of them knew whether they should pick up the call or continue what they were about to do.

They remained in a stalemate.

The ringtone stopped.

And then, it started again.

Ringing intermittently.

Joe chuckled.

He said, “Let’s answer it first.”

Luo Xiaolang nodded.

Joe helped Luo Xiaolang up from the sofa. Luo Xiaolang’s heart was still pounding. She was still nervous.

Just the thought of what might happen was enough to accelerate her heartbeat.

She saw the caller.

Joe also saw the name on the screen.

Luo Xiaolang really didn’t want to answer.

Joe said, “Maybe it’s about baby tiger.”

Without any hesitation, Luo Xiaolang answered the call, “Yin Qin.”

“Luo Xiaolang, why aren’t you answering your phone!” The voice on the other end was filled with frustration.

Even containing a hint of reproach.

Luo Xiaolang was actually a little irritated.

It seemed Yin Qin had become accustomed to losing his temper with her, to causing a fuss.

She didn’t know what to feel at that moment, so she simply stated, “I’m getting cozy with Joe!”

“…” The other side clearly froze.

After Luo Xiaolang said that,

She froze.

Joe surprisingly froze as well.

How did Luo Xiaolang manage to say something so direct?

But hearing what Luo Xiaolang said made Joe’s heart feel warm, and he couldn’t help but let a small smile creep up at the corner of his mouth.

Yin Qin was really taken aback by Luo Xiaolang’s remarks, so much so that he was left speechless.

Coziness….

Luo Xiaolang and Joe were sharing an intimate moment…

He really wanted to strangle Luo Xiaolang.

Was it intentional? Did she purposely want to upset him? To cause his chest pains?

“What is it?” Luo Xiaolang calmly inquired.

She also understood.

Regardless of Yin Qin, they would never have peaceful coexistence. They might as well be straightforward with each other. If there’s something, say it; if not, stop interrupting each other’s life!

“There is a problem! Your intimate times can wait! Come over now! I couldn’t put the little tiger to bed despite trying all night. My mom is anxious and about to go into premature labour!”

Having said that,

Yin Qin abruptly hung up.

He seemed angry enough to smash his phone.

Luo Xiaolang also froze for a few seconds.

Joe also heard Yin Qin’s roaring voice on the other end of the phone.

Without any hesitation, he said, “Let’s go see little tiger first.”

Luo Xiaolang looked at Joe and slowly nodded her head.

The two quickly left the house and drove straight to Yin Family’s villa.

As soon as they arrived at the front door, they could hear the heartbreaking cries of little tiger. At the moment, Yin Qin was holding him and trying every method to soothe him. However, no matter what he did, the baby wouldn’t stop crying.

Luo Xiaolang hurried over.

Ayee, who was currently in the living room holding a toy trying to amuse the little tiger, watched as the baby refused to look at it.

Qin Keqin and Yin Bin were also waiting in the main hall. If the little tiger didn’t sleep, none of them felt like sleeping either.

Seeing Luo Xiaolang arrive, Aunt Wu immediately said, “Xiaolang, you’re finally here. The little tiger was about to sleep after having his last feed of milk. I don’t know why he suddenly started crying, and now no matter what we do, we can’t get him to calm down.”

Luo Xiaolang quickly took the little tiger from Yin Qin’s arms.

The moment she did, Yin Qin intentionally tried to resist.

His heart filled with inexplicable anger.

Damn it.

His son was crying this intensely, and she was actually… actually being cozy with someone else!

Because of Yin Qin’s obstruction, Luo Xiaolang sternly said, “Give him to me!”

Yin Qin disappointedly handed the little tiger to her.

The moment he handed the baby over, he seemed to have noticed a love bite on Luo Xiaolang’s neck.

It was quite apparent.

Luo Xiaolang did not pay any attention to Yin Qin’s gaze. She didn’t even look at him.

Even if she had noticed, she wouldn’t have known what Yin Qin was looking at.

After all, they had left in such a hurry that they didn’t have time to cover up anything.

In just a few moments of Luo Xiaolang holding the little tiger, he stopped crying.

At that moment, he obediently clung onto Xiaolang’s shoulder, his tiny hands gripping her neck, as if afraid that Xiaolang would suddenly leave.

Occasionally, there would be a sob, filled with a sense of injustice.

The main hall finally quietened down.

Everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Aunty Wu couldn’t help but say, “Ah, the older the little tiger gets, the more dependent he becomes on you.”

Luo Xiaolang slightly nodded, feeling somewhat stirred up inside.

She put down the little tiger and cradled him sideways, coaxing him to sleep.

The little tiger seemed to find a sense of security in his mother’s arms, and since it was far past his bedtime, he fell asleep after a little while.

She held him on the couch a bit longer, afraid that he would wake up as soon as she put him to bed.

Only when she was sure that the little tiger was sound asleep did Luo Xiaolang stand up and say to Aunt Wu, “Let’s go put the little tiger down.”

Aunt Wu hastily went upstairs with Luo Xiaolang.

Yin Qin hesitated a moment, then also followed upstairs.

At this moment, Qin Keqin was speaking to Joe.

After all, it was a bit unkind to call them over in the middle of the night.

Upstairs.

Luo Xiaolang carefully put down the little tiger and tucked him in.

She was about to leave as soon as she confirmed he wouldn’t wake up again.

“Luo Xiaolang!” Yin Qin caught hold of her.

Luo Xiaolang’s face certainly changed.

She wore one face for the little tiger, another for Joe, another for his parents, and for him, a completely different one—full of intense disgust!

He said, “Can you stay tonight?”

“No.” Luo Xiaolang refused outright.

“What if the little tiger wakes up and cries?”

“He won’t wake up.”

“What if he does?” Yin Qin was stubborn.

“If he wakes up, Aunt Wu knows how to soothe the little tiger!” Luo Xiaolang’s temper wasn’t great either.

When facing Yin Qin, she didn’t put on a pleasant face.

“If Aunt Wu knew, why would I have to call you back?!”

“It’s just the first day, he’s not used to it, so he’s unsettled. He’ll get used to it eventually.”

“Can’t you stay with him one more night?”

“I said I can’t!” Luo Xiaolang emphasized each word, “If I keep accompanying him, what’s the point of leaving the little tiger at your place!”

She wasn’t supposed to come tonight in the first place.

The little tiger would fall asleep once he’s worn out from crying, it’s just that she couldn’t bear it in the end.

Now, she’s somewhat regretted coming.

The little tiger had to stay at the Yin family for some time, she didn’t even know how long this period would be, and she shouldn’t indulge the little tiger so much, causing him to develop a dependency again.

“Can’t you wait until the little tiger grows a bit bigger, understands more, before leaving him at our place?” Yin Qin was also quite irritable.

It seemed like tonight was all about heightened emotions.

Luo Xiaolang, of course, didn’t think that much. What she could understand was, Yin Qin couldn’t put up with the little tiger crying and throwing tantrums, so he was venting his anger at her.

She said, “No, I have my own things to handle during this period, I can’t take good care of him!”

“What things?” Yin Qin asked, his tone quite sarcastic at that moment.

Luo Xiaolang didn’t answer.

“Getting intimate with Joe? Afraid the little tiger will affect your relationship?” Yin Qin said viciously, “Luo Xiaolang, how could you become so selfish! For a man, you can even temporarily discard your own son!”

“So in your eyes, is that what I, Luo Xiaolang, am like!” Luo Xiaolang retorted coldly.

Yin Qin gritted his teeth.

He didn’t know.

He only knew that he was in a very bad mood right now, he only knew that he wanted to vent.

He only knew that he had to hold back very hard, very hard to not reach out and erase the hickey on Luo Xiaolang’s neck.

Luo Xiaolang said, “Yin Qin, think of me what you will, I don’t care. But I must leave the little tiger here for a while, and unless something extremely important happens, don’t call me, I won’t be coming anymore.”

After leaving a comment, Luo Xiaolang turned and left.

“Luo Xiaolang.” Yin Qin reached out to grab her again.

Luo Xiaolang directly pushed Yin Qin away.

Luo Xiaolang had quite a strong grip.

A hard push sent Yin Qin crashing into the wall of the second-floor corridor.

There was some noise.

The people who were chatting harmoniously downstairs were instantly startled by the commotion upstairs.

Joe, at that moment, ran upstairs without hesitation, seeing the hostile expressions between Yin Qin and Luo Xiaolang.

“What happened?” Joe pulled Luo Xiaolang into his arms.

Yin Qin just watched them being so intimate.

He stood there watching, his suppressed emotions on the verge of exploding!

“It’s nothing.” Luo Xiaolang said, “Let’s go.”

With that, she prepared to leave with Joe.

Joe, however, paused a moment.

Luo Xiaolang frowned.

Joe whispered in Luo Xiaolang’s ear, “Wait for me a moment.”

Then, Joe released Luo Xiaolang and walked straight towards Yin Qin.

So, Yin Qin faced Joe.

Joe said, “Yin Qin, no matter what relationship you had with Luo Xiaolang in the past, now I think it’s necessary to remind you that Luo Xiaolang has nothing to do with you anymore, and you have no right to ask her to do anything. Besides sharing a child, you two are strangers.”

Yin Qin clenched his fists.

“And now Luo Xiaolang is my girlfriend, and if you continue to demand things of her as if it’s your right, as her boyfriend, I’m not going to stand for it!”

“So, what are you saying?” Yin Qin responded coldly.

“I’m telling you in no uncertain terms to show some respect for Luo Xiaolang moving forward!”

Yin Qin laughed coldly, “Threatening me?”

“Mr. Yin, you should respect yourself!” Joe emphasized each word.

At that moment, Yin Qin really wanted to beat up the Joe in front of him.

Joe turned around, took Luo Xiaolang’s hand, and the two of them looked so set in their togetherness, so blatantly in his face.

As Joe was leaving with Luo Xiaolang, he paused, “In the future, if there’s anything about the little tiger, it’s best if you call me directly, otherwise I’ll get jealous!”

Yin Qin’s eyes were bloodshot.

Showing off?

Brazenly displaying how deep their affection for each other was in front of him?!

He just watched them.

Watched Luo Xiaolang being so gentle by Joe’s side.

How ridiculous!

Absolutely ridiculous!

Would he, the distinguished Yin Qin, a man of talent, of enormous wealth, be truly heartbroken over a woman like Luo Xiaolang?

Yeah.

Apparently so.

His vision seemed to blur.

He really wanted, really wanted to snatch Luo Xiaolang back.

He really wanted to push Joe away, to hold Luo Xiaolang tightly in his arms.

Not watch them leave like this.

Just stand there watching them, watching them walk further and further away…

At this moment, seeing Joe and Luo Xiaolang coming down the stairs, Qin Keqin also knew that Luo Xiaolang and Yin Qin probably had another fight.

That damned Yin Qin, why does he always feel so entitled when it comes to Luo Xiaolang.

She’ll give him a good dressing down later.

Thinking about this.

She hurriedly got up from the couch, intending to go over to Xiaolang’s side to apologize for her son, and then see them out.

Just as she stood up.

Qin Keqin suddenly felt something was off.

A warm flow seemed to stream down from between her legs.

Had her… water broken?!
