Chapter XIV
Happiness? dream
She was jealous of Xia Mang, not only because Xu Wenhao still loved her, but also because of the happiness she had at the moment. Why did Xiamang always get the things that she had painstakingly pursued but could not get?)
For the next month, Xiamang ate dinner at home.
After she confessed to Cheng Mo that day, Cheng Mo officially paid a visit the next day. On his first visit, he told Father Xia and Mother Xia about their marriage.
" Cheng Mo…" Xia Mang couldn't help but kick his leg.
Cheng Mo held Xia Mang's hand and smiled at her. Then, he turned to Father Xia and Mother Xia and said,"I've discussed it with Sammy. Although my family lives in H City, we'll stay here after we get married.”
Xia Mang's eyes widened as she looked at Cheng Mo, who was sitting beside her. She didn't understand why he was so anxious.
Although Father Xia and Mother Xia were quite satisfied with this decision, it was their first official visit, so they naturally would not agree to Cheng Mo's marriage request. They had too many things to worry about, not just where they would stay after marriage, but also his family's attitude towards Xiamang, his character, ability, and other aspects that needed to be tested. Some requests were not easy to make directly, so they could just delay it by practicing Tai Chi.
"Cheng Mo, what did you mean just now?”Xia Mang couldn't help but ask when she sent Cheng Mo downstairs. The last time she said that she didn't want to get married, he clearly didn't have such an attitude.
Cheng Mo hugged Xia Mang tightly, then let go and smiled at Xia Mang.""It's what you heard. Now. Was there anything else to worry about, Sammy?”
Cheng Mo was also happy. He had made a decision, and the last obstacle between him and Xia Mang seemed to have disappeared. He was at ease now. He was not worried about his parents. He had his ways. He could not wait for Xiamang to marry him.
"Will your family agree?" Xiamang was not optimistic.
"Leave these to me." Cheng Mo hugged Xia Mang tightly and kissed her on the street.
After this day. Cheng Mo visited her every day and followed her home after work to freeload food and drinks. She praised Mother Xia's cooking skills. Women were always soft-hearted. Half a month later, Mother Xia fell for her. She saw Cheng Mo. The satisfied smile of a mother-in-law seeing her son-in-law hung on her face.
Of course, Dad Xia would be harder to pass. Ever since he was young, he had been strict with Xiamang. However, Xiamang's life path had been arranged by him, and he had spent a lot of effort on it. How could he easily agree to a marriage? Cheng Mo often followed Father Xia into the study after dinner. She didn't know what the two men were talking about inside. When they came out, Cheng Mo still had his usual smile on his face, but Father Xia's expression was getting weirder by the day. Half a month later, the frequency of the two of them entering the study decreased significantly. The time they spent in the study also showed signs of shortening. They were more likely to sit in the living room and play Go. Cheng Mo always killed Father Xia. Once Father Xia lost face, he began to order people around. He was unwilling to accept it, so he continued to fight the next day and ordered people around after losing.
Cheng Mo had been freeloading for a month, so Father Xia and Mother Xia's attitude towards Cheng Mo had changed completely. Originally, everything had been arranged properly. He had even considered everything for Xiamang. In addition, he had to send Xiamang to and from work every day. He was a smart person. She was good-looking, had a good family background, and had no complaints about Father Xia's orders. How could she not be likable? Ever since Mother Xia found out that Cheng Mo's cooking was superb. He was even more satisfied. A month later, it wasn't Cheng Mo who took the initiative to visit. Instead, it was Xia Mang's parents who called Xia Mang and asked her to come home with Cheng Mo for dinner after work.
This weekend, Dad Xia and Mom Xia went to the countryside to visit Grandma. Xiamang had worked overtime late on Friday and refused to move at home on Saturday. Her phone was set to silent mode before she went to bed. Xiamang slept until 11 o'clock in the afternoon. When she woke up, she looked at her phone. There were two missed calls and one unread message.
The call was from Cheng Mo, but the text message was from Ye 'zi. "We broke up." It was just a few words, and even the full stop was added in Xia Mang's heart.
Xiamang returned the call, but Ye 'zi had turned off her phone. Xia Mang couldn't be bothered to eat. She rushed to Ye 'zi's apartment and pressed the doorbell for a long time, but there was no answer. Her phone was still switched off, and no one picked up the landline. Where would Leaf go? Xia Mang didn't know. He only knew that Ye 'zi needed to be alone at a time like this. Half a year after the house problem, family conflict, and child crisis, Lin Ran and Ye 'zi's relationship finally came to an end. Ye Zi loved Lin Ran. She had also tried her best for this relationship. Ye 'zi wouldn't choose to stay with Lin Ran. However, the taste was different after all. The feelings between the two of them turned from strong to weak, and in the end, they still separated. A relationship would naturally come to an end, and there would be no one to blame or regret. Xiamang thought that Leaf had always been more mature than him and knew how to make sure he had no regrets.
When he thought of this. Xia Mang dialed Cheng Mo's phone.
"Xiamang."
"Yes, where are you?" Xiamang asked. She felt guilty when she recalled the two missed calls in the morning. It seemed that Cheng Mo was always left behind by her when something happened.
"I'm at home. How about you?"
"Cheng Mo, I'm coming over now. I'm hungry and haven't eaten yet.”After saying that, Xiamang hung up the phone and made the call.
Xia Mang slammed the door hard. Cheng Mo had just prepared Xia Mang's lunch. Ever since the last time he came to beg for chicken soup in the middle of winter, Xiamang had preferred this method over ringing the doorbell or using the key to open the door.
As soon as the door lock was turned, Xia Mang pushed the door open in a hurry. Cheng Mo almost bumped into him.
"Hungry?" Cheng Mo couldn't help but laugh as he watched Xia Mang enter the house. She threw away her shoes and bag and ran straight to the kitchen.
Xia Mang nodded and rushed into the kitchen. As expected, Cheng Mo had already prepared lunch for her. Salted crab, lettuce in oyster sauce, and steamed egg soup. There were three simple dishes that Xia Mang liked. Cheng Mo hadn't finished eating the rice in the rice cooker, so it was kept warm. It warmed Xia Mang's heart.
"Eat slowly. It's not good for your stomach if you eat too fast.”Cheng Mo saw that Xiamang hadn't eaten her rice yet and had finished half a bowl of steamed egg in a hurry. He couldn't help but worry." Why haven't you eaten yet?"”
"Yes. I slept until eleven o'clock, then went to see Leaf.”Xiamang's stomach was filled with something and felt more comfortable. She began to eat slowly.
Cheng Mo smiled and didn't say anything. He made himself a pot of tea and sat at the side to watch Xia Mang eat.
Cheng Mo wasn't a good talker. When the two of them were together, Xiamang always talked more. However, the atmosphere between the two of them never felt dull when they were together and did not speak. Sometimes, romance was only a kind of temperature in the air. Xiamang thought greedily. Would it be forever for her and Cheng Mo to stay together quietly like this?
Xia Mang finished her meal in satisfaction. She rubbed her stomach and leaned back. She raised her chin at Cheng Mo, indicating for him to clean up.
"Sammy…" Cheng Mo sighed. She always complained that he ordered her around. As it turned out, she ordered him around more.
Xiamang smiled at him. There was a fawning smile on his face.
Cheng Mo stood up and walked up to Xia Mang. He picked her up from the chair like a lazy cat. Xiamang exclaimed. She fell into Cheng Mo's arms. Cheng Mo was getting more and more fond of applying ink on her. He would hug and kiss her whenever he wanted. Just like now, he was hugging her and sitting on his knees. His hands were restless and his mouth was moving.
"Cheng Mo, behave yourself!" Xia Mang reached out and slapped Cheng Mo's naughty hand.
"Then let's talk about something more sensible. Let's get married, Sammy.”Cheng Mo held Xia Mang tightly in his arms and looked at her seriously.
Xia Mang's heart trembled. Although her parents had accepted Cheng Mo, there was no news from him at all. Moreover, Cheng Mo had decided to stay here. Was it that easy to marry her? Wouldn't his family object?
Before she could speak, the doorbell rang.
Cheng Mo got up and smiled as he watched Xia Mang retreat to the side to tidy up her slightly messy clothes.
She opened the door and saw Mrs. Cheng.
When Xia Mang heard Cheng Mo call her " Mom," she panicked. She wanted to hide in the kitchen and escape to the balcony, but Mrs. Cheng entered too quickly. Before Xia Mang could escape, Mrs. Cheng had already entered the living room without even taking off her shoes.
"What's going on with the surgery?" Mrs. Cheng couldn't hide the anger in her voice. She glanced at Xia Mang and threw a document at Cheng Mo.
Surgery? Xiamang was shocked. Cheng Mo was going to undergo surgery? What surgery?
"As you can see." Cheng Mo was calm. He took the documents and threw them on the sofa. His voice sounded like he was gloating. How could someone who was about to undergo surgery be so happy?
"How dare you!" Mrs. Cheng's voice suddenly rose, and her back was facing Xia Mang. Xia Mang could imagine the expression on her face. She must be angry but trying her best to maintain the elegance and nobility of a noble lady.
"There's nothing I don't dare to do." Cheng Mo said casually. Xiamang was a little confused. What did the surgery have to do with daring? Moreover, Mrs. Cheng seemed to be very angry. Wasn't it the right thing to do obediently?
"For her, you don't even care about the Cheng family's incense?”Madam Cheng's voice was a little distorted as she pointed at Xia Mang.
Xiamang finally turned from being ignored to being the center of attention. However, she blinked a few times and felt very innocent. She didn't understand what Cheng Mo's surgery and incense had to do with her. She didn't know anything at all! However, when she saw Mrs. Cheng pointing at her, Xiamang stood up straight and bowed to her.""Hello, Auntie."
As expected, Mrs. Cheng's face was dark. She saw that her eyes were still burning. Cheng Mo walked up to Xia Mang and held her hand. His other hand was already caressing Xia Mang's belly. He smiled at Madam Cheng sincerely and said,""The bloodline of the Cheng family will stay here. Mom, you have to hope that Sammy's stomach will be stronger.”
"Nonsense!"
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Madam Cheng and Xiamang's voices rang out at the same time. Madam Cheng's voice could no longer be described as angry or sharp. Xia Mang was puzzled and slapped Cheng Mo's dishonest hand away. I'm afraid he's long gone.
Cheng Mo leaned closer to Xia Mang's ear and whispered a few words without caring about his mother's presence. Hearing this, Xiamang's blood boiled. He almost fainted.
Cheng Mo actually made an appointment for a vasectomy! It was an appointment. Moreover, Mrs. Cheng knew about the appointment. Xia Mang couldn't help but suspect that Cheng Mo was a threat. However, even if it was a threat, the two elders of the Cheng family did not dare to ignore it. This was a major event that concerned the continuation of the family line. Therefore, Mrs. Cheng rushed over immediately. Cheng Mo's father would also rush over after dealing with the emergency at hand.
But the bloodline remained in her stomach. What did he mean by making her stomach stronger? Xia Mang suddenly remembered that she didn't have insurance when they were having sex. She wanted to strangle Cheng Mo to death immediately.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little strange. Xiamang's attitude had obviously aroused Madam Cheng's dissatisfaction. She naturally understood Cheng Mo's personality. She had been proud of him since she was young and had spent a lot of effort on him. Although he was already very outstanding, she wanted him to be perfect and admired in every aspect. However, it was different after graduating from university. That relationship had created a thick wall between them. From then on, it was difficult for her to control him. She did not know what he was thinking and did not dare to guess his next plans. That girl's name was Wanwan. Her family background and everything else met her criteria for choosing a daughter-in-law. She was also beautiful, but she had congenital heart disease. She couldn't stand this. She couldn't let her future grandson have an unhealthy mother. Moreover, this unhealthy mother might ruin her son's happiness and bring misfortune to her grandson. It was easy to separate them. The girl was very kind. She often looked at her with fear and uneasiness in her eyes. After listening to her analysis, she said with tears that she would definitely leave Cheng Mo. At that time, although Cheng Mo resisted the part-time job, he had just graduated from university. In the end, as expected, the two of them broke up. After that, Cheng Mo went to England. He had been in many relationships. Every time she heard the news and rushed over, he would break up before she could express her opinion. It made her feel that this was not a relationship but just a game. All these years. Only Rao Rao had stayed by his side the longest, but he had never fallen in love with her, nor had he pushed her away. Maintaining a certain distance gave her hope. She could accept Raorao's conditions. Although she didn't live in City H, she had talked to Raorao before. As the only daughter in her family, she was not arrogant or willful at all. She knew how to give and take, and she liked it. After Cheng Mo graduated, she thought that she had a better relationship with Raorao. She didn't expect Xia Mang to appear.
Xiamang was different from Wanwan. In their previous conversation, she was neither servile nor overbearing and insisted on her own opinion. She was not angry at her speculation. Her expression told her that she was in love with Cheng Mo. Even if she married Cheng Mo in the end, it wouldn't be a way to climb up the social ladder. She had an innate pride that had nothing to do with her financial status, but she could restrain and cover up this pride appropriately. In the end, she even blamed the problem on Cheng Mo, making her unable to find a loophole and vent her anger.
This time, Cheng Mo used the vasectomy as a way to express his stance, telling her that he and Xiamang's relationship was no different from hers. However, Xiamang's expression and words just now clearly showed that she was unhappy about the pregnancy. She knew that Cheng Mo wasn't fooling around when he made this decision. Cheng Mo was no longer the Cheng Mo who had just graduated from university. She could not change the decisions and choices he made now. It was just like when he came back from England. She naturally hoped that he could return to City H, but he chose this place instead. So this time, she had to be very careful.
"Sammy, don't you realize that your period is already on, but it's not here yet?”In front of Mrs. Cheng, Cheng Mo didn't feel embarrassed at all. He only had eyes for Xiamang now.
Xia Mang was a little embarrassed. She wanted to faint, but she didn't want to. Thinking about it, her period seemed to be late. She had never realized it. Xia Mang blushed and pushed Cheng Mo away.""It's too late. It doesn't mean that he won the lottery."
She didn't use any contraceptives every time. How annoying! The more Xiamang thought about it, the angrier she got. She didn't dare to think about what would happen if she was really pregnant.
" Sammy..." Cheng Mo was surprised by Xiamang's agitated reaction.
"Even if I win, I don't want this child!”Xiamang said angrily. He ran towards the entrance.
Two people pulled her back. On the left was Cheng Mo, and on the right was Mrs. Cheng.
"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Cheng could not believe it. Xiamang actually said that she did not want the child. Her son had already made an appointment for a vasectomy, which meant that the Cheng family's bloodline depended on Xiamang's tummy. In the end, Xiamang actually said that she did not want the child even if she had one.
"Mom, look, you scared your daughter-in-law away, and your grandson is about to fly away.”Although Cheng Mo said that, he still had a relaxed expression on his face. He suddenly picked up Xiamang and sat down on the sofa with her. There was no tension. He didn't feel embarrassed.
"When did I scare her?" Mrs. Cheng choked on her words. At that moment, she suddenly felt that if Xiamang was really pregnant, she could consider it.
"Oh. You scared her the last time you came, but she gave me the cold shoulder for a long time. You might have been able to have a grandson before the new year.”Cheng Mo hugged Xia Mang tightly. He didn't let her struggle and said it in a very aggrieved tone.
"Cheng Mo!" Xia Mang shouted at him angrily. He was getting more and more out of hand, completely ignoring her feelings.
Mrs. Cheng stood at the side and looked at Cheng Mo, who seemed to be joking and serious at the same time. She was momentarily at a loss.
"I'll bring Sammy for a check-up tomorrow. If your grandson is still in her stomach, the surgery will be decided. If not, I'll work harder and postpone the surgery.”Cheng Mo reached out and patted Xia Mang's angry face as if she was his pet. There was love in his eyes. She said to Mrs. Cheng.
"Who said I want to have a child for you? Cheng Mo, have you ever asked for my opinion and respected my feelings?”Xia Mang couldn't calm down anymore. She couldn't care less about Mrs. Cheng, who was beside her. Cheng Mo's self-talk had angered her.
"My son is going to undergo infertility surgery for you. What do you mean do you want it or not?" Xia Mang was angered by Cheng Mo's words, and so was Mrs. Cheng. Mrs. Cheng really couldn't understand that there were people in this world who rejected her son. Although she had always felt that Xia Mang wasn't of the same family as her, she only allowed her to despise Xia Mang. She couldn't tolerate Xia Mang despising Cheng Mo and not accepting him.
"If he goes for a vasectomy, I have to give birth to his child. What kind of logic is this?”When Xiamang thought of the possibility that she was pregnant, her heart was in a mess. She could not care less who the other party was. She had never liked being a wife and was not used to swallowing her pride.
"He only looks at your belly. What if you don't give birth to our Cheng family?" This was the first time in Mrs. Cheng's life that she had met someone who talked back to her. Furthermore, it was related to the Cheng family's legacy. She was so angry that she had long forgotten her usual high and mighty attitude. She sat on the sofa and questioned Xia Mang. In fact, from the moment she found out that Cheng Mo had made an appointment for a vasectomy to the moment she rushed over, her mind was in a mess. She was extremely angry, but she was also afraid that such an irreversible thing would really happen. When she graduated from university, she broke up Cheng Mo and Wanwan single-handedly. As a result, her relationship with Cheng Mo became more and more distant over the past eight years. Cheng Mo rarely went home other than during the New Year. When he returned home during the New Year, he didn't say much to her.
"That's your Cheng family's business. I don't care!”In terms of willfulness, Xiamang wasn't inferior.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry.”Cheng Mo quickly stepped forward to be the peacemaker. While comforting Xiamang, he said to his mother," Mom, Samantha has been working very hard. She never cooked before, but now she's a great cook. I know you love desserts, so I've been learning even more diligently. I also hid the surgery from her. Otherwise, she would definitely not have agreed to it.”
Xia Mang's jaw almost dropped to the ground as she glared at Cheng Mo. Mrs. Cheng was skeptical, but her expression softened a little.
"Last time, you scared Wanwan away. If you insist on chasing Sammy away, it won't be as simple as waiting eight years this time. You'll never have a grandchild in your lifetime.”Cheng Mo's expression changed. The smile on her face faded, and her voice was cold. However, her hand was still gentle as she caressed Xia Mang.
Xia Mang was stunned. Wanwan, that was the name of Cheng Mo's first girlfriend, right?
"Are you threatening me?" Mrs. Cheng suddenly stood up. At this moment, her expression was angry and a little embarrassed.
"No." Cheng Mo looked at the dazed Xia Mang and scratched her nose with his finger. Seeing her pouting and wrinkled nose, his expression relaxed and he smiled gently. "I just wanted to tell you that Sammy and I are getting married soon and that we'll be staying here. You don't have to worry that we'll starve and freeze without Henglong. I want to support my wife and children, and I have the ability to do that.”
"Cheng Mo!"
"Cheng Mo…"
The two voices sounded at the same time. Madam Cheng was extremely angry, but Xiamang's voice was soft. She looked at Cheng Mo with tears in her eyes.
Cheng Mo hugged her tightly and got up. He nodded at Madam Cheng and carried Xiamang upstairs to her room.
" Cheng Mo…" Xia Mang buried her face in Cheng Mo's arms and grabbed his clothes with both hands. She snuggled in his arms and called out to him sullenly.
"Pregnant before marriage, I know it's hard on you.”Cheng Mo placed her on the bed and held her face. He said very seriously.
She had learned from Cheng Mo how to make love. She didn't know anything about contraceptives. She was lucky the first two times, but later she learned a lesson from Leaf and warned herself to be careful and cherish her body. But many times... With passion, she forgot about all this. Subconsciously. Xiamang had always felt that this kind of problem should be considered by the man. She did not have the awareness to guard against it, and she had the hope of getting lucky. But this time, would she still be so lucky?
Cheng Mo didn't seem to have taken the appropriate contraceptive measures when he was with her. Now that he thought about it. It must have been premeditated long ago. How could a person like Cheng Mo be so careless unless he did it consciously? Cheng Mo understood the importance of premarital sex and prevention of pregnancy better than her. She wanted to say that Cheng Mo's plan was too selfish. He didn't consider her feelings. She didn't want to get pregnant before marriage. She dreamed of wearing herself in a wedding dress. She was the happiest and most beautiful woman at the wedding, receiving everyone's blessings and envy. Instead of holding her belly and being pointed at and discussed by others, being said to be a shotgun marriage.
But could she say that Cheng Mo was selfish? No! Because she now knew that he was doing this to make his family accept her faster. Because she now knew that although he had never said anything. However, she had been working hard to plan for their future. Because she now knew that he was willing to go through a vasectomy just to be with her. He was even willing to give up his family business and stay here.
In this world, how many men were willing to go through a vasectomy for a woman? Yanyan once said that after marriage, it was easy for women to wear a ring to cause all kinds of gynecological diseases and gynecological inflammation, but it was not the case for men. The operation was simple and safe, and it did little harm to the body. However, choosing a woman to wear a contraceptive ring after marriage seemed to be an established rule. Not many women could avoid it. Now that Cheng Mo was willing to do this, what was there to be dissatisfied about?
"Are you serious about the surgery?”Xiamang sounded a little nervous.
Cheng Mo chuckled and nodded. He lay on the bed and hugged Xiamang.
"Then if you do bad things outside in the future, won't you have nothing to worry about?”He had mentioned this problem with Ye 'zi and Yanyan at gatherings before. It was really inhumane and scary for a woman to have an abortion, but if she chose a man to have a vasectomy, wouldn't the man have no worries about having an affair? For example, if Wen Hao didn't have to worry about this, Chu Ning's matter wouldn't be exposed. Would she never know the truth?
"It's really hard to be a human!" Cheng Mo sighed and patted Xia Mang's face. He smiled." Then tell me, why did you believe that I was serious from the beginning and not think about playing with my feelings?”
Xia Mang's heart skipped a beat. It was just as Cheng Mo had said, even though she didn't like him at first. She didn't accept him, but she didn't think that he was chasing her for fun. Thinking back now, she found it unbelievable. Why did she believe that he was serious about his relationship from the beginning?
"Well, I think it's because you have good conditions. There are a lot of women who are willing to offer themselves to me. There's no need to spend so much effort just to play with me, right?”Xiamang answered after thinking about it seriously. If Cheng Mo wanted to find a woman to play with or find a bed partner, there was no need to go through so much trouble!
Cheng Mo didn't know how to praise her for being smart. He should still praise her for being lucky to have met him. As soon as he said that, he realized that he really doted on Xia Mang."How clever."
His mind was still hesitating, but the words had already come out of his mouth unconsciously, and he chose the former. Xiamang was delighted to be praised, and the unhappiness in her heart dissipated. She thought that it didn't matter if Wanwan's surname was Yao or not, it had nothing to do with her. Just like how Cheng Mo never asked about her past with Wen Hao. There was no need for her to mind. She had a future with Cheng Mo, so she didn't have to worry about their memories being too short.
Xia Mang couldn't make it to the next day. That afternoon, she was forced to go for a check-up. The reason was simple. Mrs. Cheng couldn't wait any longer.
Madam Cheng noticed that Xia Mang's expression was a little strange. It was a half-smile, but it was also half-angry. His eyes were a little awkward. Xiamang rubbed her head and smiled at her. Xia Mang had calmed down a lot. Although she was extremely worried and scared when she thought about her pregnancy, after what happened in the afternoon and knowing Cheng Mo's thoughts and considerations, Xia Mang suddenly had confidence. Although she still had an instinctive fear of having children and didn't want to get married and have children so early, if she really had a child, with Cheng Mo to face it together and their hearts together, Xia Mang didn't think it was a scary thing anymore.
Although she felt regretful and a little unwilling, since there were no problems with her relationship with Cheng Mo... Thinking of Ye Zi's medical abortion, Xia Mang did not have the courage to do something like not having a child. In the afternoon, she had shouted at Cheng Mo not to have children, but she was just venting her anger willfully.
Cheng Mo accompanied her the entire time and even specially arranged everything. There was a single room and no need to line up. It would also be like Ye 'zi's time when she was scrutinized and guessed by others. Cheng Mo stayed by her side and listened to the gynecologist who was said to be the best in the city asking her questions about her period. For example, when was her last period and how many days did her period last take? Xia Mang was confused, so Cheng Mo answered all these questions on her behalf.
After the test and waiting for the report, Xia Mang held Cheng Mo's hand tightly and couldn't help but feel nervous. The test report needed time. Xia Mang paced around the room. Cheng Mo hugged her gently and suggested,"Don't be nervous. We still need some time. Why don't we go downstairs and take a walk?”
Xiamang nodded. She felt that she should relax and not be so nervous.
After walking out of the clinic, they arrived at the large garden in the courtyard. Xia Mang and Cheng Mo were walking hand in hand. Cheng Mo held Xia Mang's hand slightly tighter, but neither of them spoke.
Xiamang had also been here last time. She had accompanied Ye Zi and met Wenhao. Thinking of Ye 'zi's journey, Xiamang turned around and looked at the people around her. She couldn't help but sigh. She was lucky to have someone by her side at a time like this. She was like a tiger in a cage. Thinking about it, she wasn't so scary.
" Chu Ning…" Xia Mang stopped in his tracks. Wasn't the person in the light purple maternity dress, with a big belly, walking very slowly Chu Ning? Looking at her stomach, it should be almost time for her due date. She placed her hand on her waist. Even walking was a little inconvenient. Xiamang imagined that one day, she would be like him, painstakingly carrying a child for ten months. For the sake of this inevitable journey in life, his hatred for her inevitably lessened. Besides, her relationship with Wen Hao was already in the past. Now, she had Cheng Mo by her side. She had nothing to pity. Xiamang thought. She looked around Chu Ning but did not see Xu Wenhao. Chu Ning and Xu Wenhao's wedding had been postponed ever since the car accident. Xu Wenhao needed to recuperate, but he didn't know why Xu Wenhao hadn't set a date for their wedding after his leg injury recovered. Was it because Chu Ning was in labor or something else? Xiamang was no longer interested in finding out.
"We should be able to get the report. Let's go.”Cheng Mo let go and patted Xia Mang's back before holding her hand.
"Yes." Xia Mang turned to smile at Cheng Mo. Even if she didn't hate Chu Ning that much, there was no need for her to greet him.
Xia Mang took the test report from the nurse and didn't dare to look at it herself. She turned around and threw it to Cheng Mo. When she saw Cheng Mo open the test report, her heart thumped wildly. She held her breath and was extremely nervous.
"Sammy! Cheng Mo looked at the test report carefully as if he had read it back and forth several times. He suddenly reached out to hug Xia Mang and started spinning around on the spot. Xia Mang saw his excited expression and dispelled all the little depression she should have felt. Cheng Mo looked at her with undisguised joy at this moment. His usual joy and anger were in high spirits at this moment. His eyes were clear as he looked at her. There was excitement and affection in them that moved her. Xia Mang couldn't help but be influenced by him. She was being carried around by Cheng Mo. Her hands were tightly wrapped around Cheng Mo's neck, and she closed her legs and bent her knees. It was unknown if she was happy. Xia Mang screamed with a smile. Was it excitement or fear?
Cheng Mo stopped spinning. Xiamang's face was a little red, and her eyes were especially bright. She was excited like a child, and because of the news of her pregnancy, Cheng Mo felt that she was a woman's calm and gentle.
"Xiamang?" It was Chu Ning. She had just come to collect the prenatal test report. When she saw the pair of people who were laughing and shouting, she stopped. The woman was Xia Mang.
At this moment, Xia Mang was facing Chu Ning, but Cheng Mo had his back to him. When he heard someone call out to Xia Mang, Cheng Mo couldn't help but turn around and stand beside Xia Mang. He put his arm around Xia Mang's waist and looked at the person who spoke. There was still a smile on his face that he couldn't hide in time.
Chu Ning was still alone. Just now, she was taking a walk alone in the big garden in the courtyard. Now, she was also taking the examination report alone. Obviously, she came alone for the prenatal examination. Xu Wenhao did not accompany her. " It's still different," Xia Mang thought. It wasn't that she was confident, but if she had Wen Hao's child, she was sure that Wen Hao would be as excited as Cheng Mo. Wen Hao would definitely accompany her during the checkup.
Sometimes, people and feelings that were painstakingly designed and forcefully snatched were not a kind of happiness. If Chu Ning only pursued material things and did not care about feelings at all, then the jealousy on her face and the unwillingness in her eyes would not be so obvious. Xiamang suddenly felt sorry for her.
"You…Are you pregnant?" Chu Ning looked at Cheng Mo and then at Xiamang. There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
Xia Mang smiled. He felt that there was no need for him to answer Chu Ning's question. She shook Cheng Mo's hand and gestured for him to go upstairs and bring the test report to the doctor.
"You, are married?" Chu Ning took a step forward and looked at the two rings on Cheng Mo and Xia Mang's hands. Although the design was simple, it made her envious. She didn't have a ring on her finger, and Xu Wenhao didn't have one either.
"No, I haven't." Xiamang replied cleanly. Cheng Mo gently pinched her straight chin and looked at her with doting eyes and face. He said contentedly,"As long as you're willing, we'll go and register tomorrow. The wedding will be held the day after tomorrow."
Chu Ning's body trembled, and the test report slipped out of his hand. Xia Mang didn't see this because when he heard Cheng Mo's words, he only turned around to push him away while muttering,""Madman, don't think that I have to marry you just because I'm pregnant. I only need a day to prepare for the wedding. Are you prepared to save money and just have a table full of people to eat?”
Cheng Mo smiled and picked Xia Mang up by the waist. Xia Mang screamed and laughed."In one day, I can buy all the flowers from all the flower shops in this city and spread them from your door to my door. I can book all the tables in the best hotel in one day. The newspapers, TV stations, and the internet, please invite all those who wish us well to attend our wedding. In a day, I can ask a designer to tailor a wedding dress for you. You can decorate our new house, buy the wedding ring you like, and prepare everything for the wedding…"
Xiamang covered her ears with her hands and smiled widely. "Cheng Mo, you're burning money. You're so unrestrained. Who would dare to marry you?!"”
Chu Ning looked at the two figures that disappeared around the corner of the stairs. He lowered his head, and tears rolled down his face. It landed on the test report by her feet. Gradually, it became blurry. She was jealous of Xiamang, not only because Xu Wenhao still loved her, but also because of the happiness she had at the moment. Why did Xiamang always get the things that she had painstakingly pursued but could not get?
Cheng Mo quickly reported the good news to the parents of both parties, and Xia Mang couldn't stop him. They left the hospital. Cheng Mo's lips were still curled up. Xia Mang wanted to go home, but Cheng Mo drove straight back to Repulse Bay.
As soon as the car stopped, the door of the villa opened from the inside. It was Mrs. Cheng. She already knew about Xiamang's pregnancy.
"Moe, your dad will be coming over tomorrow. I'll ask him to buy more bird's nest or something. You can give it to Sammy when the time comes." Mrs. Cheng couldn't hide the excitement on her face. Her attitude toward Xia Mang had taken a 180-degree turn. She had been on the phone with her husband just now. She was a little hesitant and dissatisfied at first. She couldn't let go of the fact that they were well-matched in social status. However, her husband, who had always listened to her, scolded her for the first time. He asked her if she really planned to let Cheng Mo go for the surgery just like that and make the Cheng family have no descendants. Therefore, Mrs. Cheng's attitude softened.
Mrs. Cheng's mentality was actually very easy to understand. Cheng Mo was thirty-two years old. At this age, he would have gotten married early and his children would have been able to go to school. However, as his mother-in-law, she had yet to become a full-time employee. She was eager to have a grandchild, but she had no choice. Every time she met up with her friends and heard them talk about how their grandchild would not have a grandchild, she would be extremely envious. She had no choice but to force and urge them, but there was nothing she could do. In addition to Cheng Mo's unyielding attitude towards the vasectomy incident, he had already made it clear that he would rather be with Xiamang than the family business. Now that Xiamang was really pregnant with the Cheng family's child, she suddenly felt closer to him when she saw him. Upon closer inspection, she realized that Xiamang was also pretty. Her son had always been picky. Furthermore, when she first met him, she felt that Xiamang was different from other girls. He had a clear mind and was neither servile nor overbearing. Under such circumstances, he did not lower himself or flatter her, but he could also bless her with the most basic manners. It was really rare. His behavior in the afternoon was also very cute. Although he had rebuked her, she could understand that his son sometimes made decisions like this. It was scary not to tell others in advance. In short, Mrs. Cheng had accepted Xiamang and was much more pleasing to the eye.
Xia Mang looked at Cheng Mo pleadingly and shook her head.""There's no need to buy it. I don't like bird's nest.”
As long as it was related to medicine and tonics, it was not Xia Mang's favorite.
"How can I not eat? It was best for pregnant women to eat bird's nest. It was good for the mother and the child. When I was pregnant with Moe, I ate bird's nest every day. I recovered very quickly after giving birth, and look at how well Moe grew.”Mrs. Cheng was anxious when she heard that Xiamang was not taking any supplements. Even if Xiamang did not eat, her grandson had to eat it!
" Uh, Auntie…" Xia Mang was speechless. She was not used to Mrs. Cheng's sudden enthusiasm.
"Why are you still calling me auntie? You should call me mom. "Oh right, I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any greeting gifts. This bracelet is passed down from our Cheng family. I only have one son, Moe. It's only right that I pass it on to you."”As Mrs. Cheng spoke, she took off the jade bracelet in her hand and pulled Xia Mang's hand to put it on her wrist.
Xia Mang wanted to pull her hand away, but she didn't dare to. She pulled Cheng Mo's sleeve with her other hand and looked up at him for help.
"Mom, your attitude changed too quickly. It'll scare people.”Cheng Mo didn't expect his mother's attitude to change so drastically and quickly, but he still put the jade bracelet on Xia Mang's wrist.
" Cheng Mo…" Xia Mang tugged at his sleeve heavily, expressing her disdain for his 'helping the evil'.
"Mom, you didn't get to taste Sammy's cooking the last time you came. Let Sammy cook for dinner.”The smile on Cheng Mo's face was a little too much.
"No need, no need. Sammy is pregnant now, so how can she enter the kitchen?”After Mrs. Cheng finished speaking, she lowered her head and thought hard for a moment." I'm worried about the takeout too. Cheng Mo, why don't you do it? Didn't Raorao say that your cooking skills were very good?”
Xia Mang was dumbfounded. He was not used to the drastic change in his position in just a few hours. Cheng Mo was also dumbfounded. He had expected Xiamang to be pregnant so that she wouldn't have to enter the kitchen again. Dried Vegetables was just doing him a favor, but he did not expect to be ordered to the kitchen. This had never happened before.
Cheng Mo felt that his relationship with his mother seemed to have undergone a subtle change since this afternoon. Cheng Mo had never been able to forgive his mother for what happened eight years ago. He knew that she had her own reasons and standpoint, but no matter how much he begged her, she insisted that he break up with Wanwan and felt that she was too cold-blooded and cruel. Since then, the communication between him and his mother had become less and less. Mrs. Cheng was the same. She had always felt that she had done nothing wrong, even though she saw Cheng Mo in pain and distanced herself from him. Seeing that he hadn't had a proper relationship in the past eight years, she began to wonder if she had done something wrong back then. However, because her son deliberately distanced himself from her, she no longer had the chance to sit down and communicate with him. She began to not know what her son was thinking. Similarly, Cheng Mo no longer cared about her worry and anxiety.
But now, because of Xiamang, some things between the mother and son seemed to have been let go naturally. With Xiamang and the child in her stomach that belonged to them, the mother and son could get the approval and recognition of their family. This made Cheng Mo's resentment for the previous relationship that had ended in vain disappear in an instant. It was just like how Xiamang had fallen in love with Cheng Mo and no longer cared about Xu Wenhao's right or wrong. When she saw him again, she could greet him calmly. Even when she saw Chu Ning, her heart was calm. It was as if all the hatred and loathing had disappeared. Cheng Mo felt the same towards his mother now. Including Mrs. Cheng.
Everyone had a strange feeling in their hearts. While they were analyzing it, their phones rang. It was Xiamang's phone. The ringtone was unique, and the French song " LEPAPILLON " was especially fresh and cute. At this moment, when Mrs. Cheng heard the child's innocent question, she snatched Xiamang's phone without thinking.
"Eh?" Xia Mang was shocked.
"You're pregnant now. You can't use your phone to avoid radiation.”Mrs. Cheng handed the phone to Cheng Mo and gestured for him to answer the call silently. Then, she held Xia Mang's hand and looked around."You have to buy a radiation-proof vest, maternity clothes, and flat shoes. By the way, Sammy, why don't you take a vacation or quit your job and stay at home to take care of your baby?"”
Cheng Mo immediately threw away the phone that he was halfway through answering and hurriedly snatched Xiamang back from his mother's hands. He glanced at Mrs. Cheng and said unhappily,"Mom, you're going to scare Sammy away like this. What if she remarries when she's pregnant with your grandson?”
Cheng Mo knew that Xia Mang was not the kind of person who would give up everything for her child. She would not be willing to stay at home and be a full-time wife. She had been hurt emotionally before. Although she had him by her side now, she was still worried and afraid to treat love and marriage as everything in her life. She needed family, friendship, and a normal job to balance her emotional world and reduce the probability and degree of injury.
Xiamang suddenly felt as if she had returned to kindergarten. The two children beside her were fighting over a beloved toy, and that beloved toy was herself.
She thought. She was happy and lucky. Although it was not her intention to get pregnant before marriage. Wearing a wedding dress with a big belly was a distance from her dream of being a proud princess when she was young, but so be it. She was already twenty-six years old. She had chosen Cheng Mo and decided to continue her journey with him. There was no reason to reject this child. She was not Cheng Mo's first love, and Cheng Mo was not her first love either. However, her first time was Cheng Mo's, and the child in her stomach was their first child. That was enough. It wasn't perfect, but it was perfect!
