I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child
chapter-117

Chapter 117 – Unwelcome visitors (3)

Although Lu Beichuan had rejected Father Ye’s request to come over to the Lu’s to visit Ye Zhen, Father Ye thought it would still be acceptable for him and his wife to visit their pregnant daughter.

With this idea in mind, Father Ye brought Mother Ye along when he came knocking at the Lu’s home the next day. He had also brought a lot of supplements.

It wouldn’t be reasonable to slam the door shut when you saw your in-laws, even if they were unwelcome visitors.

You could only politely welcome them inside.

This was also the first time that Father Ye and Mother Ye had come to the Lu’s. Compared to the Ye villa’s ostentatious decorations, the Lu villa’s decorations showed an understated luxury that manifested in an impressive atmosphere.

“In-laws, please sit. I wanted to wait until Zhenzhen’s condition is stable before I told you about her pregnancy.”

“That’s understandable.” Father Ye smiled. “Zhenzhen’s health has been poor since she was a child. Please take good care of her for us.”

As the Ye’s sat down on the sofa and made small talk with Mother Lu, servants came forward and brought cups of tea.

Mother Ye looked at her rosy-cheeked younger daughter that was lazily leaning back on the sofa. Her previous cowering and shy demeanor had been replaced by a confident and extroverted smile and bright eyes. She looked completely different as if she had been replaced by someone else.

Mother Ye couldn’t help thinking about her older daughter, who had remained at home in silence for a long time before she could walk out the shadows. She inwardly sighed.

Although it was a shame that Ye Qing hadn’t been able to marry Lu Beichuan, it was already too late for regrets. After suffering that one setback, she had been depressed and unable to pull herself together for a long time. Really, she was worse than Ye Zhen right now.

Truly, nothing was ever set in stone. She had previously thought her more outstanding older daughter would live the best life possible. She would have never expected that her unremarkable younger daughter would be living the best life instead.

The way that a person’s life would unfold couldn’t be predicted.

Ye Zhen smiled at Mother Ye and said, “Mom, what are you thinking about?”

Mother Ye returned to her senses. She glanced at Ye Zhen’s belly. “Time passes so quickly. You haven’t been married for long, and you’re already pregnant.”

Mother Lu held Ye Zhen’s hand. Smiling, she said, “It’s been over a month. It’s about time for her to get pregnant. It’s our Lu family’s good fortune to have a well-behaved and sensible daughter-in-law like Zhenzhen. Beichuan must have done good deeds for eight lifetimes in order to be blessed with meeting Zhenzhen in this lifetime.”

Ye Zhen felt embarrassed by the excessive praise.

“Mom…” Ye Zhen quietly said, “Don’t say that. I feel so embarrassed.”

Mother Lu happily laughed.

Mother Ye’s mood was very complicated as she watched this happy and harmonious picture.

It was only in front of Mrs. Lu that she saw Ye Zhen acting happily bashful for the first time.

“I brought some supplements. It’s all for Zhenzhen.”

“We already have these here. There’s no need for you to spend the money. In-laws, don’t worry. I’ll make sure that Zhenzhen will grow white and plump. No mishaps will happen to her under my watch.”

Father Ye smiled. “It’s just a bit of our thoughtful intentions as her parents.”

After saying this and seeing that Lu Beichuan wasn’t in the living room, Father Ye hesitantly asked, “Ah… Is Beichuan home?”

“Oh, him? He’s busy at work. He barely comes home these days. Don’t worry about him.”

Father Ye gave an embarrassed smile. “It’s understandable that he’s busy at work. But… my birthday banquet…” He looked at Ye Zhen. It was rather awkward to bring up this matter again after already being refused once. He had already been flaunting his status as Lu Beichuan’s father-in-law. It would be really embarrassing if Lu Beichuan didn’t attend his birthday celebration.

Thinking of this, Father Ye gritted his teeth and mentioned it again. “Zhenzhen ah, do you think you can make it? It’s dad’s 50th birthday and our family hasn’t gotten together in a while. Dad has invited a lot of his friends. They all know about the news of your pregnancy and they all want to congratulate you in person. They’re people that hugged you and kissed you when you were a kid. If you don’t go, don’t you think it’s a bit…”

Lu Beichuan had already agreed to go with her yesterday. Now that Father Ye was mentioning it today, she easily agreed. “Dad, Beichuan and I will be there on your birthday.”

Father Ye’s eyes brightened.”Ah… Beichuan is coming too?”

“Of course, it’s your birthday.”

Father Ye was overwhelmed with happiness. “Great, excellent, I’ll be sure to prepare a good birthday banquet.”
