From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love
Chapter 498: Live-in Son-in-Law

Chapter 498: Chapter 498: Live-in Son-in-Law

Bai Jingting and Bai Jingyan came back from work and heard about Li Yehan wanting to marry Nan Qiao. Both brothers got anxious and hurried inside.

Bai Jingting: "Li Yehan, you haven’t even known my sister for half a year, right? How can you be sure you want to marry her? Who knows if you’ll change your mind."

Bai Jingyan chimed in: "You’ve known my sister for too short a time. If you want to get married, talk about it later. We don’t oppose you two dating, but as for marriage, it’s not okay for now, it’s too soon."

Chen Xinwan’s eyes showed a fleeting sadness.

Chen Xinwan said: "Yehan, I share their thoughts. Even though marriage shouldn’t be judged based on the duration of knowing each other, I just found Qiaoqiao and haven’t had a chance to truly cherish her, and now she’s getting married. It’s hard for me to fully cherish her."

Li Yehan had already considered this issue, and firmly said: "I can live with Qiaoqiao at the Bai Family’s house."

The whole family was stunned.

None of them expected Li Yehan to think of such a thing and also plan to live with them.

Isn’t Li Yehan afraid of being called a live-in son-in-law?

Could it be he wants to be a live-in son-in-law?

Li Yehan continued: "I’ve decided. I’ll live here with Qiaoqiao, and you can see her every day. In the future, when Qiaoqiao and I have children, we’ll also need your help to take care of them."

What Li Yehan proposed almost made Chen Xinwan agree.

With Qiaoqiao around, and they taking care of their grandchildren, seeing Qiaoqiao every day, living together would be wonderful.

Bai Zhenyang also agreed with Li Yehan’s point; he also hoped for such a life in the future.

Bai Jingting and Bai Jingyan were equally shocked.

Li Yehan’s decision came from his love for Nan Qiao.

The two brothers didn’t know what to say, and it seemed a bit excessive not to agree.

Bai Jingting unemotionally said: "We’ll ask for Qiaoqiao’s opinion first."

Bai Jingyan agreed: "Let’s talk with Qiaoqiao and see what she thinks."

With their sister wanting to marry, they couldn’t disagree, but they were worried Nan Qiao might suffer.

The family’s atmosphere turned silent, everyone sat there, unable to speak.

Li Yehan stood up and politely said, "Uncle, Aunt, I’ll take my leave now."

Li Yehan drove away and returned to his house.

Nan Qiao saw his expression and knew things hadn’t gone well.

"Qiaoqiao, I’m sorry. Your parents and your big brothers didn’t agree. They think we haven’t known each other long enough and want us to continue getting to know each other."

Nan Qiao ate the tip of a strawberry, its sweetness in her mouth.

"It’s okay, we don’t have to rush into marriage." She continued eating strawberries.

Li Yehan was a little upset seeing her so unbothered.

"Qiaoqiao, haven’t you thought about marrying me?"

Nan Qiao looked up: "No, I haven’t."

"You’re happily eating strawberries and not sad at all. Qiaoqiao, won’t you be upset if I can’t marry you?"

Nan Qiao got up to wash her hands, then sat back down next to Li Yehan.

Seeing his displeasure, she straddled him, looking directly at Li Yehan.

"I’m not happy or sad, I just think a piece of paper can’t control our feelings. Not getting married or registering doesn’t matter."

Li Yehan was amused yet helplessly asked: "Do you think getting married would be a burden for you?"

"It’s not a burden, I just think there’s no need to be so fixated. Tonight, I’ll talk to my parents about it, okay?"

Li Yehan hugged her slender waist, meeting Nan Qiao’s bright, grape-like eyes.

"That’s what you said. You must talk to your parents."

"Okay, I will. Don’t worry." Nan Qiao rubbed his face.

Li Yehan’s face was cold, and seeing him truly unhappy, Nan Qiao added, "Don’t worry, I’ll definitely talk to my parents. I should head back, it’s getting late."

"I’ll take you home." Li Yehan stood up.

Nan Qiao gently pushed him back down: "No need to take me, I’ll go by myself. We agreed to pretend we didn’t meet."

Nan Qiao insisted on her way, said a few more words to Li Yehan, and then left.

...

Back at home, everyone acted as if nothing had happened, not mentioning the marriage at all.

Nan Qiao cheerfully greeted everyone, joined them for dinner, and even played a game of chess with her grandpa.

Until she went upstairs to rest, Nan Qiao didn’t bring up the matter.

She snuggled up on the sofa, with the room warm and cozy, not feeling cold at all.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Xinwan’s voice came from outside: "Qiaoqiao, it’s mom. Can I come in?"

Nan Qiao opened the door: "Sure."

The mother and daughter exchanged smiles, each with a smile in their eyes.

Chen Xinwan, in her pajamas, walked in, sat with Nan Qiao on the sofa.

"Qiaoqiao, Yehan came today to propose. He wants to marry you, but your father, brothers, and I didn’t say yes. The gifts he brought, I asked him to take back, but he left them. He said he’d come again and left the gifts behind."

Chen Xinwan said, somewhat embarrassed, "I actually think highly of Yehan. I know you like him too."

Hearing this, Nan Qiao felt a bit shy, her cheeks flushed.

Chen Xinwan gently asked, "Qiaoqiao, is there a reason Yehan is proposing now?"

Nan Qiao: "..."

Someone experienced is indeed meticulous, Chen Xinwan noticed such things easily.

Feeling shy, Nan Qiao rubbed her hair.

Chen Xinwan held her hand lovingly: "Qiaoqiao, mom knows you have something on your mind. But tell me, and I’ll help you, okay?"

In the end, Nan Qiao finally spoke up.

"I’m pregnant..."

Nan Qiao looked down, unsure if Chen Xinwan would feel utterly disappointed in her.

Inside, Nan Qiao’s emotions were complex, and she started overthinking.

At this moment, Wen Wenrou’s voice came from above.

"My dear Qiaoqiao, this is wonderful! Am I going to have a grandson?"

Nan Qiao looked up, incredulous, at Chen Xinwan.

"Qiaoqiao, being pregnant is nothing to be ashamed of. I understand young people. In a woman’s life, a man might not always be yours, but a child will. If Yehan isn’t good to you, we’ll kick him out! Qiaoqiao, we are all your strength, don’t worry!"

Nan Qiao, with tears in her eyes, was momentarily unable to speak.

Chen Xinwan warmly comforted her: "Qiaoqiao, these things are nothing, don’t overthink, have the baby if you want. Our family can handle it."

Nan Qiao, touched and moved, spoke with a choked voice: "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hide it from you, I didn’t know how to tell you. I didn’t expect to have a baby."

"Qiaoqiao, it’s not your fault, blame Yehan. He was too impulsive; it’s all his fault."
