CHAPTER 497

"I'm pregnant."

*choke*

*cough cough cough*

Yang Chen choked on his food and let out a series of chest pain cough with a napkin to cover his mouth. Yi Changying quickly passed him a glass of water and patted his back a few times for him to calm.

Lisa bit her lips in nervousness as all eyes were on her but no one was saying anything especially the father of her supposed baby.

Buy if only she knew that hose two words... Those words he had never heard her say before were enough to send Wang Tingxiao's brain to space and slowly return back.

Not just him but everyone at the table. To say that they were shocked would be an understatement.

Lisa's eyes began to turn moist at their silence. Her lips trembled lightly but she but them again to stop it.

"Tingxiao... Say something... Please," she said in a small pleading voice.

With our a word, Wang Tingxiao stood up and walked up to her. He then pulled her in for a hug. That was when he noticed the tiny item in her hands that were still behind her back.

His hand reached down to take it from her. It was dipstick found in a pregnancy test kit. Lisa pulled away a bit see his expression as he examined the object.

Wang Tingxiao saw the two red lines that indicated that the user is indeed pregnant. There was disbelieve, happiness and a slight trace of nervousness in his face

"We are pregnant, Li. We are going to be parents?" His voice came out low and soft.

"Yes. Are you... Are you happy? You won't leave me alone now, right?" Lida asked with tears running down from her eyes and wetting her cheeks.

Instead of words, Wang Tingxiao leaned down and took her lips in his. The kiss relayed all his emotions through to her. And also a promise of assurance and forever with her.

"A new family member is coming right up."

"Hurray!!"

Their cheering and clapping reminded the couple that they were not alone in the room. They pulled away and flashed a grateful smile at their friends.

"Tingxiao, what are doing? You should not let the mother of your baby stand so long," Li Fengjin playfully scolded him.

"That's right. And how could you kiss her for so long too? Don't take up her oxygen. She is now breathing for two," Ye Chaoxiang added.

Lisa laughed and hugged Wang Tingxiao. The latter could only sigh and shake his head. But he quickly ushered Lisa back to her seat on the table before he took his.

"Wah! Our dear Lisa is going to be the next mother. Congrats, sweetheart," Ning Xiaozhi congratulated her.

"Thank you," Lisa accepted the congratulations with a smile while wiping off her tears.

"Aww! Look at how Tingxiao is still staring at the dipstick. So cute," Ye Yumi exclaimed.

Wang Tingxiao cleared his throat and placed the dipstick into his pant's pocket. Everyone laughed seeing this.

"Renxiang, I am counting on you to be my guardian during and after the coming nine months," Lisa said.

"No worries, dear. You are in safe hands Bai Renxiang accepted without any qualms. She would be more than happy to help her.

"Ah! Why don't we tell the oldies? They would be happy to hear this awesome news," Yang Chen reasoned.

"We would do that after breakfast. Also, you guys should go for a check up to know how long she has been pregnant."

"We will do that. Thank you all."

The breakfast went from lively to more lively with the news. Soom out came to am end and Wang Tingxiao took Lisa to the hospital for a check up.

While the atmosphere in Li Fengjin's house was warm and filled with happiness, the Jiang mansion had a tensed and cold air all over.

After in the living room was Old man Jiang in casual home clothes. Opposite him in all black was none other than Zhao Fu with a calm expression.

But unlike his usual cold face, there a a small unnoticeable smile. The reason for that smile? It was because his brown orbs had not moved from the woman sitting beside the old man.

As for the Li and Ye old couple with Mrs Yang, they sat on the other couches on the sides like an audience. Their eyes darted from the old man with scrutinising gaze, to the middle aged man with eyes filled with love.

"Ahem! Dad, Zhao Fu... Are you two just going to stare at each other all day long?" Jiang Meilin broke the looming silence with a question.

"What'a your name?" Old man Jiang asked.

"Seriously, dad. I already told you and I just said–"

"I supposed my daughter didn't bring a mute to my house as the man she wants to go out with," Old man Jiang interrupted her.

Jiang Meilin pursed her lips. She could not help but roll her eyes inside. He was still behaving like it is the first time he has seen Zhao Fu or even the first time she has brought a man home.

"Also, this is an interview between me and the gentleman who wishes to be my son-in-law," he added. "Your name gentleman?"

"Zhao Fu."

"Occupation?"

"Now a retired general and investments," Zhao Fu answered and thus time his smile was visible as he saw the surprised look in not only the oldan's face but everyone.

Except Jiang Meilin as he had already told her the very day he approached her at her grocery shop.

"A retired general, huh? Not bad at all," Old man Jiang nodded as he was impressed. "What kind of investments are you into?"

"The normal investments every businessmam does."

Old man Jiang's interested piqued. "So you are a businessman? What is the name of your company?"

"I don't have time for a company. It's too bothersome. But I prefer to work in Mei's grocery shop."
