Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Loneliness

Chen Xinwan’s face was adorned with a smile, which never faded.

She was truly overjoyed!

"Next year, I’ll be able to hold a baby, and just thinking about it makes me so happy. You have the baby, and we’ll help you take care of it. We’ll even get you a maternity specialist or nanny, ensuring your life is just like before having a baby."

Chen Xinwan held Nan Qiao’s hand and continued, "Qiaoqiao, if you don’t want to get married, then don’t, for now. We’ll take care of the child so you don’t have to worry."

Chen Xinwan chattered on and on, while Nan Qiao occasionally responded.

Nan Qiao chatted with her mom until late at night, and her anxious emotions finally dissipated.

...

Chen Xinwan returned to the room.

Bai Zhenyang was sitting at the head of the bed reading a book.

Hearing the door open, Bai Zhenyang put the book down.

"Honey, what were you talking about with our daughter for so long? You’ve left me alone here, and I feel quite lonely."

Chen Xinwan sat on the bed and burst into laughter at Bai Zhenyang’s resentful gaze.

"Zhenyang, congratulations!"

"Congratulations for what? I’m not going to be a father again, am I?"

Chen Xinwan: "..."

Chen Xinwan gave Bai Zhenyang a look, letting him figure it out himself.

"Honey, what great joy is happening in our family? Please tell me so I can share in the happiness."

"You’re going to be a grandpa. Our precious daughter is pregnant."

"What!" Bai Zhenyang was dumbfounded.

He wasn’t thrilled at all; instead, he felt like hitting someone.

"That scoundrel Li Yehan, he dared to mess with our precious little cabbage!"

"Bai Zhenyang, don’t be a hypocrite. What kind of good man were you back then? You were clinging to me all the time and didn’t even want to come to Jing City to take over the family business."

Bai Zhenyang gave an embarrassed smile and held Chen Xinwan’s hand, loving her as he always had for decades.

"Wanwan, back then, all I wanted was to marry you, to marry you quickly." Bai Zhenyang reminisced about the past, happiness spreading across his face.

The two looked at each other, and Chen Xinwan’s face blushed.

"Ye Han’s feelings must be just like yours. Qiaoqiao didn’t expect to get pregnant, and now that it’s come to this, it’s better to let them marry. When the belly grows, it’ll be hard to look good in a wedding dress. My precious Qiaoqiao, I want her to get married looking as beautiful as she can be."

"Let’s have Ye Han come to our house tomorrow, and we can discuss this."

Chen Xinwan added, "Maybe let Qiaoqiao have the child first, and they can register their marriage. After the baby is born, they can enjoy a carefree honeymoon while we take care of the child."

The couple discussed for a long time, both wanting Nan Qiao to be free of worries, living peacefully and happily every day.

...

When Li Yehan returned home, he saw Old Mr. Li sitting there.

"Ye Han, why are you back so late? Even if you’re out with Qiaoqiao, you should send her home earlier."

Li Yehan sat down and pulled off his tie.

It was very warm inside, so Li Yehan took off his jacket and coat.

"Grandpa, congratulations."

Old Mr. Li: ??

Old Mr. Li looked confused, "Congratulations for what? Congratulations because this family is about to fall apart? Is Tianhong, that useless kid, about to kick the bucket too?"

Li Yehan: "..."

He just wanted to simply congratulate Old Mr. Li, but the other thought he was being mocked.

"Old Mr. Li, I wanted to congratulate you because you can soon hold your great-grandchild."

Clang.

The walking stick in Old Mr. Li’s hand fell to the ground, and the old man was completely stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

Not only Old Mr. Li, but Uncle Fu was equally shocked.

He turned his head to see the joyful smile on Li Yehan’s face and the dumbfounded look on Old Mr. Li’s, silently wiping away tears.

Uncle Fu didn’t say a word and turned his head back around.

It’s just great, truly great.

Old Mr. Li rubbed his face; he still couldn’t believe it.

"Ye Han, you better not be lying to me. I’m already close to entering my coffin and can’t stand such shocks."

"I’m not lying to you. Qiaoqiao is pregnant. However, my future father-in-law, mother-in-law, and brother-in-law don’t agree with Qiaoqiao and me getting married. What should we do?"

Old Mr. Li: "!!"

"I’ll handle it! I’ll talk to Old Bai first, then discuss with Zhenyang. Don’t worry, I guarantee you’ll get to marry her."

"No, you can’t go to Grandpa Bai. Only you, me, Qiaoqiao, and Qiaoqiao’s mother know about this; no one else does. If you go prematurely, it’ll only embarrass Qiaoqiao."

Old Mr. Li nodded repeatedly, "Ye Han, you’re so thoughtful. Okay, tomorrow I’ll go feel them out and get Old Bai to agree to Qiaoqiao marrying you as soon as possible."

"To marry Qiaoqiao, I agreed with them that after marriage, I’ll move into the Bai Family."

Old Mr. Li: "..."

Old Mr. Li wasn’t angry; instead, he pointed at Li Yehan and laughed heartily, "You’re sly, aren’t you? Whether Qiaoqiao marries into our family, or you join theirs, I don’t mind. When you live at home, I hardly get to see you, but if you move to the Bai Family, maybe I’ll see you more often."

The two exchanged a knowing smile.

Old Mr. Li was very pleased, leaning on the sofa with a grin that never faded.

"Ye Han, you handle all the wedding stuff, don’t let Qiaoqiao do it or she’ll get tired. Also, make sure someone checks out the baby products in the market, see which brand is the best. You have to pay attention to these things; they can’t be neglected."

Li Yehan responded in agreement, and Old Mr. Li went on, "If you’re not sure, consult someone who’s had children. I’ve already commissioned a carpenter to make a crib, so it’ll come in handy now."

Thinking this, Old Mr. Li’s smile grew even wider.

"I’m so thrilled!" Old Mr. Li stood up using his cane.

Uncle Fu hurried over to support him.

"Young master, congratulations to you and the young mistress."

"Thank you, Uncle Fu," Li Yehan said.

Old Mr. Li, filled with excitement, said, "I’ll head back and start making arrangements."

Old Mr. Li left with Uncle Fu.

Once in the car, Old Mr. Li’s smile gradually faded, and he spoke in a stern tone, "Investigate Li Ye’s affairs, and don’t let him return to the Li Family."

Uncle Fu was a bit surprised, as Old Mr. Li would sometimes speak to Li Ye because he was part of the Li Family.

But now, Old Mr. Li seemed to have made up his mind, wanting nothing to do with him.

"Ye Han’s child will be born soon, and having him around worries me about the child’s safety. It’s enough for the Li Family to have Ye Han; there’s no need for a second person to manage things."

"Master, I’ll have someone investigate and report back with the findings."

"Ah Fu, thank you for your hard work all these years. Once Ye Han’s child is born and the Li Family stabilizes, the two of us old folks can go on a trip and enjoy ourselves."

"Master, I’m sure you won’t bear to do that. The baby changes every day, and if you don’t see them for a month, you might not even recognize them."

Old Mr. Li laughed heartily, growing happier at the thought.
