Chapter 420: Chapter 423 Who is the Child’s Parent?_1

Zhang Miao smiled, "Just hang on a moment, we’re still missing someone."

Just as her words fell, a knock came at the door.

Zhang Miao got up to open the door.

A mature and handsome man holding roses stepped in.

It was Xiao Haotian, the heir of the Xiao family from Bounty World!

Everyone’s reaction was mixed upon seeing Xiao Haotian.

Zhang Yu was surprised;

Gu Xiaorou was puzzled; she had never met Xiao Haotian before;

Yang Gang was confused. He knew that Sister Miao knew Xiao Haotian, but among the people present, most were part of a small group who lived together for a long time. What’s with Xiao Haotian’s appearance here?

As for Su Xiaoxi, she was somewhat flustered, her eyes flickering slightly.

And Xiao Haotian, who had just entered the room, had his eyes persistently on Su Xiaoxi.

Zhang Miao took the roses from Xiao Haotian and snappily said, "Haotian, it’s not cool to keep staring at your girlfriend’s best friend in front of your girlfriend, is it?"

Xiao Haotian awkwardly averted his gaze: "I didn’t..."

"Let me introduce you. Zhang Yu, my brother, you know him. Yang Gang, you’ve met him. That mixed-race beauty is Gu Xiaorou and the other brunette is Su Xiaoxi. These people are my closest confidantes," added Zhang Miao.

Meanwhile, the rest of the room was still in a daze.

"Girlfriend??"

Did I mishear?

Finally, Gu Xiaorou managed to say, "Sister Miao, you..."

Zhang Miao laughed softly, "I gathered everyone here tonight mainly to announce two things: First, I want to make my relationship with Xiao Haotian public—we have been together for quite some time. Second..."

Zhang Miao paused, then said, "Second, I... I’m pregnant."

Wait, what??

Everyone was stunned.

Yang Gang was the first to react, asking by reflex, "Sister Miao, who’s the father?"

Zhang Miao rolled her eyes, "Well duh, it’s obviously Xiao Haotian’s. Or do you think it’s yours?"

Gu Xiaorou glared at Yang Gang before looking at Zhang Miao, "Sister Miao, that’s a lot to take in, let me sort out my thoughts."

After a moment, she raised her head again, "Sister Miao, did you say you’re pregnant?"

"Yes," Zhang Miao chuckled lightly, "When you said I was gaining weight and my belly was getting a little bulgy, that was actually the baby."

Gu Xiaorou rubbed her forehead, "I’m still a little befuddled. Sister Xiaoxi, why don’t you do the interrogating?"

Su Xiaoxi had already calmed down after the initial shock.

She looked at Zhang Miao, "Sister Miao, are you planning to keep the baby?"

Zhang Miao nodded, "I have considered aborting, but just before signing the abortion consent form, I changed my mind. The baby has a right to live."

"But I thought you were a staunch believer in the single life?"

Zhang Miao laughed, "The baby changed my mind. I always thought children were a hassle, but ever since I confirmed that I was pregnant, I began thinking that babies are adorable. That must be what they call maternal love."

At this moment, Zhang Yu interjected, "Sis, when did you and Brother Haotian start dating? I had no idea."

"It’s been a long time. We didn’t deliberately keep it from you. Over the years, you’ve often showed signs of disliking the idea of me getting married or even having a boyfriend. And you and Haotian are friends. I didn’t want to ruin your friendship because of me. But there’s no way to hide it now that I’m pregnant, as I’ve decided to keep the baby. So, I thought I should just disclose it now. I hope you won’t throw a tantrum," said Zhang Miao casually.

Zhang Yu walked to Xiao Haotian, grinning, "Sis, I did resist the idea before. But that’s only because I was afraid that the man wouldn’t be worthy of you. If the future brother-in-law is Brother Haotian, then that’s absolutely okay."

Yang Gang’s face darkened, thinking, "Zhang Yu is clearly insinuating that I’m not good enough. True, I once said I wanted to marry Sister Miao, but that was more of a joke and I know my place. I indeed don’t deserve someone as perfect as Sister Miao. But you could have phrased it another way, couldn’t you?"

Xiao Haotian chuckled, "Thank you for the support."

"Hey, brother Haotian, when are you marrying my sister?" Zhang Yu asked again.

Xiao Haotian laughed gently, "That depends on what your sister thinks."

Zhang Yu looked at Zhang Miao and asked, "Sis, when are you planning to get married?"

Zhang Miao hesitated slightly, then answered, "We are going to the United States tonight, then getting engaged, and aim to complete all wedding procedures before the baby is born."

"Heading to the United States tonight, isn’t that a bit too hasty?" Su Xiaoxi chimed in.

"Err...."Zheng Miao hesitated slightly, then explained, "Our baby might have a small developmental issue, so we want to see the doctors in the United States. You guys don’t need to worry. It’s probably not a big deal. It’s just that Haotian insists on going to the United States for a check-up."

Gu Xiaorou finally snapped back to her senses, seeming thrilled. "Congratulations, Sister Miao."

Zhang Miao whispered to Gu Xiaorou with a smug smile, "With one less competitor, I bet you’re pretty happy, aren’t you?"

Cough, cough!

Gu Xiaorou’s face turned red instantly, "No, that’s not it, I..."

She wanted to explain, but kept quiet because everyone was present.

At this moment, Su Xiaoxi checked the time, and said, "Sister Miao, I have to go now. I’ve been staying at Qingyu’s place recently and I have the keys with me today, I have to get going. Let me know when you get to the United States."

Zhang Miaonodded, "Sure."

Then Su Xiaoxi left.

Just as Su Xiaoxi left, Xiao Haotian stood up. "It’s pretty late now, Miao Miao, plus I drove here. I’ll drop Su Xiaoxi home."

"Sure." Zhang Miao nodded.

Immediately, Xiao Haotian excused himself to go after Su Xiaoxi.

After Xiao Haotian left, Gu Xiaorou couldn’t help herself, "Hey, Sister Miao, are you sure it’s okay?"

"What are you talking about?" Zhang Miao laughed and countered her question.

Gu Xiaorou bit her lip in hesitation before finally mustering up the courage to say, "Sister Miao, this might upset you but I feel like your boyfriend isn’t quite reliable. He’s been eyeing Sister Xiaoxi as soon as he walked in. Does he perhaps fancy her? This is way too dramatic, Sister Miao, you should really warn him."

Zhang Miao chuckled, "Two best friends fighting over a guy, too dramatic? Isn’t it quite common?"

Gu Xiaorou was visibly distraught, knowing there was something behind Zhang Miao’s words.

Zhang Yu felt a bit gloomy internally but hid it in front of Zhang Miao.

Young Master Yang looked utterly confused, not understanding a word they were saying.

It took him a while to come around, "What? Xiao Haotian is trying to steal my fiancée? That’s unbearable. I have to see this."

As soon as he stood up, Zhang Miao stopped him, "Calm down Gang, if you can’t trust your woman, why are you even in the relationship? It’s better to break up now."

Upon mention of a relationship, Yang Gang wore a gloomy expression, "Sister Miao, do you think it looks like Su Xiaoxi and I are in a relationship? It’s supposed to be mutual affection. Su Xiaoxi doesn’t even like me. I feel like I’m playing a solo game."

Yang Gang suddenly realized that, because of him, Xiao Ke couldn’t date freely either.

He grimaced.

Is this what they call ’karma’?

Zhang Miao glared at Yang Gang, "You’ve been persisting for so many years, just hang on a bit longer. Maybe you’ll win her heart eventually. Although Su Xiaoxi is stubborn, she has feelings too. She isn’t a rock. She must have been touched by all your kindness over the years. And also, I can already see that stubborn girl gradually realizing something."

"Realizing what?" Yang Gang weakly asked.

Zhang Miao rolled her eyes, "Can’t be bothered with you."

Yang Gang: ...

Meanwhile, outside.

Xiao Haotian finally caught up with Su Xiaoxi at the entrance of the neighborhood.
