Chapter 909 - 314: Pregnant? That’s a Good Thing! (2)
She didn’t dare tell her parents the possible "good news;" she highly suspected she’d be beaten to death right then and there.
"Okay, Mom, I got it. I’ll come back often when I can."
Shen Qiong nodded: "Good to know everything’s alright. I’ve sent Mei and that young fellow upstairs away."
"Ugh, this time I’ve really embarrassed myself big time. Mei might not say it, but I’m sure she’s very upset with me."
"By the way, tell me about this boyfriend of yours—how old is he, what does he do, where’s his family from, how tall is he..."
Hearing her mom start to "check the household register," Qi Siyu felt a jolt in her heart, somewhat reluctant to answer.
But faced with her mom’s curious and inquisitive eyes, she couldn’t think of a way to refuse.
It’s quite normal for a mother to care about her daughter’s relationship and want to know about the other party’s situation.
However, when it comes to Li Yuan’s actual situation, she really found it difficult to speak.
Although Li Yuan had bought her a house and a car, she still didn’t know if she counted as one of Li Yuan’s official girlfriends.
Li Yuan’s other three girlfriends, Zhong Tingyue, Xia Zhijin, and Bai Weixi, she had seen Li Yuan openly spending time with them.
But what about herself?
She wasn’t quite sure what kind of feelings Li Yuan truly had for her!
Qi Siyu mumbled indistinctly, giving a general account of Li Yuan.
"Mom, he’s about my age, quite tall, around 185 cm, really handsome, has a great figure, and is currently starting his own business in the internet industry..."
Qi Siyu vague pieced together a "poor man’s" version of Li Yuan in bits and pieces to Shen Qiong.
Upon hearing Qi Siyu’s introduction, Shen Qiong’s eyes suddenly shone brightly, nodding in satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad—tall, handsome, and starting his own business, very good to you, very promising."
"By the way, Siyu, you said he’s abroad. When will he be back? Bring him home so your dad and I can meet him."
"You’re not getting any younger; you’re already 27 this year. In two more years, you’ll be a 30-year-old bachelorette. While you’re still young and have met someone suitable, quickly get married and have a child before you’re 30. I’ve heard it’s risky to have kids after 30, you become an older pregnant woman. If you do it earlier, your dad and I can help you for a couple more years..."
Shen Qiong kept talking, leaving Qi Siyu stunned.
What on earth? Just a casual introduction about Li Yuan and her mom was already connecting the dots to marriage and having children?
This leap is a bit too much.
Moreover, she was clearly only 25 years old, how did it become 27?
Qi Siyu grumbled speechlessly: "Mom, I’m only 25, how could it be 27, still young here!"
Shen Qiong immediately corrected Qi Siyu’s mistake.
"Siyu, you were born in December, you’re already 27 in lunar age. In two years, you’ll be 30."
"Look at your peers, kids around your age are already old enough to buy soy sauce, and you claim you’re young."
"Now that you have a boyfriend, you can settle down. Find time to let our families meet, discuss the wedding date, settle it down, marry early, have kids early..."
"Stop glaring at me, Mom’s looking out for you. Think about it, if you set the date now, at the earliest you can only marry by National Day or the New Year. After marriage, you’ll need at least another one or two years to have kids. Wouldn’t that be almost 30? Already considered an older pregnant woman..."
Listening to her mom not only "rushing to wed" but also "rushing to have kids," Qi Siyu was instantly overwhelmed, feeling extremely, extremely, extremely speechless.
"Mom, stop rushing me. My head’s about to explode from your pressing."
"I have my own plans, you don’t need to ask me and Dad about them, just focus on Sichen."
Shen Qiong snorted lightly: "You girl, just like your brother, never give me peace of mind. That brat Qi Sichen ran off to Changan City and didn’t even come back for the New Year. Really raised him for nothing. Doesn’t date, doesn’t return home, mixes with a few male classmates all day. Really drives me crazy..."
Seeing her mom start indiscriminate output, Qi Siyu immediately shrank her head, silently mourning for her brother for three minutes...
Shen Qiong "output" for a while, her throat seemed a bit dry. Looking at Qi Siyu who was calmly watching the drama, she coughed:
"Siyu, don’t be like your brother, if you can marry early, do so."
Qi Siyu perfunctorily replied: "Mom, I got it, can you stop urging me."
Shen Qiong said: "Fine, I won’t rush you anymore, in this aspect you’re still better than your brother, at least you know how to find a boyfriend and have pretty good taste."
"How are you leaving tomorrow?"
Qi Siyu answered: "Mom, I’m taking the bus back tomorrow."
Shen Qiong asked again: "Just by yourself? What about your good friend, when is she leaving?"
Qi Siyu: "Mom, Jingjing and I are going back together."
"Alright then, you two go back together, it’s good to have someone to keep an eye on each other during the journey."
Shen Qiong finished speaking and looked at the slightly messy room; her compulsive disorder kicked in again.
"Before you go, tidy up the room properly. A girl’s bedroom looking like a dog kennel is embarrassing if word gets out."
Qi Siyu’s cheeks flushed, and she couldn’t help feeling a bit ashamed.
At home, sometimes, she really didn’t pay much attention to tidying up her room, making it look a bit messy.
"Mom, stop nagging, I’ll tidy it up, okay!"
Shen Qiong glared at Qi Siyu discontentedly: "Hmph, already find me annoying?"
...
Early the next morning,
Qi Siyu, having tidied up, nervously made her way to the station to meet up with Liang Jingjing.
Yesterday, after thinking all day, she still didn’t dare to go to the hospital alone for a blood test. Her period was just two days late, and she wasn’t having any so-called pregnancy symptoms, so she decided to wait it out.
In the meantime, she’d ask her best friend Liang Jingjing for her opinion.
Before long, Liang Jingjing arrived in front of Qi Siyu carrying a suitcase and gave Qi Siyu a big hug.
"Hehe, Siyu, come on, having a boyfriend and still going on blind dates!" Liang Jingjing jokingly teased.
Qi Siyu felt a bit heavy-hearted, as if carrying a stone inside, not like her usual playful self, instead showing a worried look.
Liang Jingjing noticed something was off about Qi Siyu and quickly asked:
"What’s up, Siyu? You seem to have something on your mind."
Qi Siyu nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed to speak.
Liang Jingjing became even more curious: "What’s going on? Is there anything we can’t talk about between us?"
Not only had they known each other for years, but they had always been close friends who shared everything, even playing a round of poker with Li Yuan; their relationship was not just some superficial friendship...
Qi Siyu blushed slightly and shyly said, "Jingjing, my period hasn’t come for three days."
"Your period hasn’t come for three days, so what!"
Liang Jingjing casually laughed,
Suddenly, she realized something, her voice sharply rising as she quickly asked:
"What did you say, your period hasn’t come for three days?"
"Siyu, could you be pregnant?"
Qi Siyu quickly glanced around nervously, giving Liang Jingjing a look:
"Liang Jingjing, can you keep your voice down!"
"Hehe, I was just shocked!" Liang Jingjing awkwardly smiled and quietly asked:
"Siyu, are you really pregnant?"
Qi Siyu shook her head: "I don’t know, it’s just my period hasn’t come, and I’m a bit worried."
"Jingjing, what do you think I should do?"
Liang Jingjing laughed heartily: "What’s there to worry about? Isn’t this a good thing?"
"A good thing?" Qi Siyu’s mind was somewhat flustered.
Seeing her friend’s silly look, Liang Jingjing felt frustrated, speechless.
Isn’t this a good thing?
Li Yuan’s status, now the nation’s youngest billionaire, tall and big, extremely capable, with a perfect figure, definitely a super rich and handsome guy.
At this time, if Qi Siyu really is pregnant with his child, as long as she safely gives birth, she can instantly rise in status, never having to worry again.
Maybe, she could manage a fortunate turn in life, successfully marry into wealth, becoming "Lady Li."
Isn’t this a good thing?
Across Huaxia, countless girls dream of climbing into Li Yuan’s bed to give him a child.
Including herself.
"Oh my foolish girl, if it were me pregnant, how great would it be, no matter what, I’d have it!"
Liang Jingjing muttered to herself.
