CHAPTER 508

Later that afternoon, when they were all home, their parents came as they were informed of Lisa's pregnancy. They did not forget to bring gifts along with them. Even a congratulatory card was not left out.

"Lisa, dear come and sit with your aunties. Let us look at you properly," Mrs Yang beckoned her to sit with them in the living room.

Lisa obliged and sat in their midst, where they made space for her to stay. Mrs Ye held unto her left hand while Mrs Yang held the right.

"Sweetie, tell us. How many months is the pregnancy?" Mrs Ye asked.

"Actually, I am just three weeks pregnant," Lisa told as she smiled.

"Wah! Almost a month," Mrs Li exclaimed.

"Oh my! And yet you look so skinny. You should eat more and healthy now. You have a life growing inside of you," Mrs Ye said.

"I–"

"Honey, is Tingxiao feeding you less and stressing you more?" Mrs Yang asked with a frown.

Lisa blushed and shook her head. "Tingxiao cares and treats me well. He feeds me a lot too," she defended him.

"Aww! Look at her defending that brat," Mrs Ye sighed.

"Why would she not? They married now and he is her beloved hubby. Right, Lisa?" Mrs Li giggled.

Lisa could only let out an awkward smile. She knew elderly women could be a bit outspoken, but she had not imagined to be caught in between three of them.

'Someone please save me,' she cried in her mind.

Wang Tingxiao who was peeping from the kitchen could not help but feel for his wife. Also, he gulped when he heard what does women were saying

How can he not feed his wife well and then stress her out in bed? Of course he makes sure is well fed and rested before they, you know...

But taking a good look at her, since that Dong Yang incident, her eating reduced. He at first thought she would gradually go back to her normal eating habit.

It was what he had gotten used to since Dong Yang appeared in their life more than once. But now she has to eat normal and more than normal because she is pregnant.

And the gynaecologist advice for her to eat more and healthy to. The baby needs enough nutrients to grow well and healthy. He then made a mental note to feed his Lisa more.

Wang Tingxiao also took note to talk to her later when they are alone. He needs to know if she still thinks of that day. If yes, then the must be the cause.

'She is mentally stressing herself if so,' he told himself. While he thought, he felt a hand rest in his shoulder.

"Chaoxiang," he said as he turned to his side.

"Don't think too much, bro. Just do all you can and she means the baby will be fine," Ye Chaoxiang advised.

Wang Tingxiao sighed no nodded his head. Then He Chaoxiang left to the living room. He had something to discuss with his parents.

"Ahem! Please excuse me," Ye Chaoxiang politely made his presence known the the men and women in the living room.

"Dad, mum. Can I talk to you guys in private?" He asked.

Mr and Mrs Ye exchanged glances before standing up. They excused themselves and followed their son to one of the guest rooms downstairs.

"What is the problem, son?" Mr Ye asked as soon as they walked into the room.

"I think you guys should have a seat first? I don't know how you will take the news I'm about to tell you," he said.

"Did you get Xiaozhi pregnant too?" Mrs Ye asked suspiciously with her hands folded under her chest.

Mr Ye's eyes widened by her question. He suddenly turned to his son and silently asked him if it was true.

Ye Chaoxiang sighed as he massaged his temples. "Can't you guys just sit down and wait till I tell you anything?"

"What is the use of sitting if it's simply no you can just say a yes or no to? " Mrs Ye questioned back.

"Mum," he called in a much firmer voice showing that he was serious. "Please sit down and listen to me, okay?"

"Humph. Fine. But I really want to know if–"

"Xiaozhi is not pregnant," he cut her off quickly. "Now will you please just sit."

"Honey, let's sit down and hears whatever he wants to say," Mr Ye coaxed his wife. He held her shoulder and gently made her sit on the couch in the room.

Mrs Ye pursed he lips and resigned. After all, he had answered her question. Seeing that both of his parents were seated and paying him the needed attention and without disturbing, he sat at the edge of the bed.

His face was serious as he took in let out a few deep breaths. His eyes then settled on them and he said, "Xiaozhi and I are travelling next tomorrow."

"Travelling? To where?"

"Why?" Mrs and Mrs Ye asked simultaneously.

"We are going to City Z. The reason... It's because her mother wants her to come home," he answered both if their questions.

"Oh, she has a home there. I thought her parents lived here," Mrs Ye said.

"No, they don't live here," he shook his head.

"So, have you both gone to see them before? Like do they know about how serious the both of you are about each other?" Mr Ye asked.

"No."

"No?!" His mother exclaimed. "Why no? What have you both been doing?"

Ye Chaoxiang sighed. "I wanted us to go but..."

"But?" They nodded in waiting.

,m "Xiaozhi has an issue with her parents, especially her mother. It is the reason why she left home since college," he explained to the best he could.

"Okay. You can use this as an opportunity to see them, right?" Mr Ye said.

"Yes. But now her mother wants her back for an arranged marriage."
