"Ayan, I have something to ask you," Su Jialan said, looking at Xiao Yanzhi with an effort to keep her tone calm. "As your parents, your father and I both hope that you can get married soon. But at the same time, we also hope that you can make a careful choice."
Xiao Yanzhi remained silent.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Su Jialan sighed and said meaningfully, "The children of the Xiao family have always been noble. They must never be born from the womb of a woman of low status."
There was an obvious implication in this sentence.
Su Jialan was warning him, hinting that he shouldn't let just any woman conceive a child of the Xiao family.
Xiao Yanzhi didn't answer immediately. He only said, "I have no intention of having children for now. You don't have to worry too much."
Hearing this, Su Jialan's eyes flickered slightly.
"Mom, I also have something to ask you," Xiao Yanzhi said directly, seeing that Su Jialan was in a good state. "Did Yaoyao say something to you that day?"
This was the mystery of her long - term unconsciousness.
Su Jialan frowned. She opened her mouth first, and then a flash of white light passed through her mind. She suddenly remembered what Qin Yaoyao had said before, and her face changed slightly.
"She didn't say anything. I just stayed outdoors for too long," she replied a bit oddly, trying to skip this topic quickly. "What has she been up to recently? Didn't she come with you?"
"You want to see her?" Xiao Yanzhi looked up, his eyes half - squinted.
"Yes, I want to have a few words with her," Su Jialan said, regaining her dignity. "Is she available? Ask her to come and see me tomorrow."
"Aren't you fond of her?" Xiao Yanzhi said slowly. "Do you have something urgent to talk to her about when you wake up?"
After he asked this question, Su Jialan wasn't flustered. She explained reasonably, "Since you like her, I don't mind building a relationship with her."
"By the way, my nurse has to go back for her child's parents' meeting tomorrow and will take a day off. Ask Qin Yaoyao to take care of me for a day."
The next day.
Qin Yaoyao, with a nervous and scared heart, was brought by Xiao Yanzhi to the door of Su Jialan's ward.
She was still very anxious.
Since Xiao Yanzhi calmly informed her that Su Jialan wanted to see her, she had been very restless. She tried to get some information from him, but he didn't tell her the reason. He just said that Su Jialan wanted to see her.
"I'll trouble you to take care of her for a day today," Xiao Yanzhi said lightly. "You should know what to say and what not to say now, right?"
"If you want to be the mistress of the Xiao family, you should at least get along well with the elders," Xiao Yanzhi's tone was emotionless.
Qin Yaoyao bit her lower lip, as if cheering herself up. "I know. Don't worry, Ayan."
There were a lot of company affairs, so Xiao Yanzhi didn't stay in the hospital for long. After greeting Su Jialan, he left.
In the room, only Qin Yaoyao and Su Jialan were left, looking at each other.
No one spoke first. The atmosphere was a bit silent. Qin Yaoyao wanted to speak several times, but was afraid of saying the wrong thing.
Her restraint and nervousness were all seen by Su Jialan.
"How many months pregnant are you?" Su Jialan said in a calm voice. "Didn't you say you were pregnant with Ayan's child? Does he know about it now?"
"N - no, not yet," Qin Yaoyao tightened her heart, nervously twisting her hands in front of her. "It's not even three months yet. I haven't decided whether to tell Ayan or not."
That day in the yard, what Qin Yaoyao said to Su Jialan was -
"I have good news. I haven't had the chance to tell Ayan and you. I'm already pregnant with Ayan's child."
Just this one sentence made Su Jialan's blood pressure soar. In a moment, she was overwhelmed with emotions and fainted.
After waking up, of course, she didn't forget this sentence.
Su Jialan was certain that even if Qin Yaoyao had a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to lie about such a thing.
Moreover, Xiao Yanzhi's unconditional spoiling and obvious concern for her were obvious to all.
The two were obviously in a passionate relationship. It was reasonable for them to have a relationship.
So there was only one answer. She was really pregnant with a child of the Xiao family.
Thinking of this, Su Jialan felt stuffy in the chest and uncomfortable all over. She even wanted to scold her for being shameless.
"You are really more unscrupulous than Jiang Li," Su Jialan maintained her dignity, but her words were obviously harsh. "Don't you feel ashamed of using the method of getting a higher position by having a child?"
Qin Yaoyao lowered her head. There was only one thought in her mind.
Sure enough, Jiang Li also wanted to marry Xiao Yanzhi.
Thinking of this, her previous fear and worry disappeared. She looked up at Su Jialan and said boldly, "Auntie, Ayan and I truly love each other. This child is the crystallization of our love."
Hearing this sentence, Su Jialan almost fainted again.
"You... You're really something!" Su Jialan's voice trembled. "Do you think I'll think highly of you just because you're pregnant?"
"Before Ayan knows, you should have the child aborted immediately!" Su Jialan said coldly. "No matter how much compensation you want, the Xiao family can give it to you."
But Qin Yaoyao didn't take the threat seriously. She just said weakly, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. I won't abort this child."
She looked weak and vulnerable. "If you do this, I'll tell Ayan immediately and ask him to protect me and the child in my belly. Please forgive me."
"You!" Su Jialan was so angry that she pounded the bed with her hand and coughed several times. "Water. Pour me some water!"
At this time, Qin Yaoyao was obedient. She stepped forward and poured a glass of water.
"It's too hot!" Su Jialan began to make things difficult for her.
Qin Yaoyao had to add half a glass of cold water. But it still didn't meet Su Jialan's standard. "It's cold!"
After repeating this several times, Su Jialan finally drank the water.
After drinking the water, Su Jialan was still angry. Her chest heaved. "Your ability to serve others is really substandard."
In this aspect, she was far inferior to Jiang Li.
Su Jialan still remembered that when she was hospitalized that year, Jiang Li took care of everything personally. She was extremely considerate and even more meticulous than the hired nurse.
If it weren't for Qin Yaoyao being pregnant with Xiao Yanzhi's child, Su Jialan would even prefer Jiang Li to marry into the Xiao family. At least she was obedient and sensible.
After her emotions gradually calmed down, Su Jialan put down the glass of water and pretended to ask casually, "How many people know about the child now?"
"Only you and me, auntie," Qin Yaoyao lied without blushing. "This news is a surprise. I haven't decided how to tell Ayan yet."
Since they met, Xiao Yanzhi hadn't even kissed her. Where did the child come from?
Hearing this, Su Jialan let out an almost inaudible sigh of relief. Then she said with dignity, "This is indeed a big deal. We should be cautious."
Qin Yaoyao was pregnant with a child of the Xiao family, and it was an out - of - wedlock pregnancy. This was not a glorious thing.
