Chapter 810: Yusheng’s Proposal (4)
Xiaowang, who was sitting at the side, found himself unable to continue watching this. He sneakily raised his hand and briefly covered his eyes.
“Firstly, Qinyan is really busy with his work these days and doesn’t have much time to spend with you. We won’t feel at ease if you’re going to stay here alone for a long time.”
When Mother Qin heard how much Gu Yusheng had taken her into consideration, she felt very comforted; however, her comfort dissipated in less than 30 seconds when Gu Yusheng continued. “Secondly, we hope that little peanut will be able to see her grandma every day, as well.”
Mother Qin did not fully comprehend Gu Yusheng’s words. She was taken aback for a while before responding, “What do you mean by little peanut?”
“It’s…” Gu Yusheng dug out his phone and opened his photo gallery. He held it up in front of her. Cute photos of an adorable baby greeted Mother Qin’s eyes. After she had looked at all the photos Gu Yusheng continued talking. “This is little peanut; she is your granddaughter.”
Mother Qin appeared to have been struck by lightning as she sat on the couch without moving. The entire room was silent for a full five minutes. Finally, she turned her head to look at Qin Zhi’ai and then at Gu Yusheng. At last, she looked at the photo on the phone. “My granddaughter?”
Gu Yusheng nodded his head. “Hm,” he replied.
Mother Qin looked at Qin Zhi’ai as though she was seeking affirmation. Qin Zhi’ai lowered her head and dared not meet Mother Qin’s eyes. Mother Qin knew her daughter all too well, and Qin Zhi’ai’s behavior indicated to her that everything Gu Yusheng was saying was true.
It was difficult for Mother Qin to digest this explosive news right away. After a long time, she said to Qin Zhi’ai, “Xiao’ai, pregnancy is a huge deal. Why didn’t you tell me about it?”
Qin Zhi’ai bit her bottom lip and replied in a small voice, “Mom…”
She was just getting ready to apologize to her mother when Gu Yusheng, who had been sitting by the side, spoke. “My mighty mother-in-law, about this…” At this, Gu Yusheng suddenly stopped.
Getting pregnant and giving birth without telling her mother was a huge mistake. I can’t possibly let Xiao’ai shoulder this alone. But if I take the blame, what if her impression of me is negatively impacted because of that?
Gu Yusheng’s head was spinning. He thought long and hard about it and, in the end, came up with a scapegoat. Thus, Gu Yusheng said, “You can’t blame Xiao’ai. She had refused to say yes to me when I had chased her in the past. After I finally had won her over, I proposed to her, but she refused me. My grandfather really likes Xiao’ai, so he suggested that I… Well, that I impregnate her before marriage…”
There was no way he could let Mother Qin know that everything had happened as a result of their drunkenness.
“So, I orchestrated my plan and impregnated Xiao’ai without her knowing…
“In fact, Xiao’ai had already been pregnant when I previously came to Hangzhou, but she herself was not aware of it. She only found out when we had returned to Beijing. I initially had wanted to come to Hangzhou to ask for her hand in marriage, but I had to go back to the military because something came up. We should have called you regarding something like this, but my grandfather is rather stubborn. He felt that it was not right to treat this situation casually and that I should come over personally to propose marriage and tell you about this. He thought that would be more sincere…”
