Chapter 283: Chapter 280: Pregnant Before Marriage (Third Update) Chapter 283: Chapter 280: Pregnant Before Marriage (Third Update) “Don’t listen to Zhou Youming’s nonsense. Yao Yeqiang came to my workplace to find me, and I agreed to meet him just to avoid him saying things there that could be misunderstood. I never intended to acknowledge him, and I never will.”

The truth of her words was unclear, but since she had assured him so, Xie Yanhai could only choose to believe her.

But after hanging up the phone, he couldn’t help but sigh. Li Yun turned her head and asked, “What’s wrong? Does Xiaoxi have a different opinion about that old man?”

“Not really,” Xie Yanhai said with a frown, “it’s just that it seems like Xiaoxi and Youming are drifting further apart. They both have complaints about each other, those two…sigh!”

Li Yun commented in an indifferent tone, “Don’t just say Youming has complaints against her, don’t you have any? Holding someone else’s child and insisting she’s your sister, now she’s thirty, a mother herself, yet not a bit of acknowledgment of her own fault. I even want to ask her, if Haohao was taken and raised by a stranger, would she be able to accept it?”

“She’s a university graduate, too. Never mind her level of awareness, it seems she has lost even the basic sense of right and wrong. It’s lucky that since she was little, our parents treated Jiajia well. Otherwise, would Master Mu let her off easily?”

Speaking of which, Xie Yanhai found himself unable to say a word in her defense.

…

On Monday morning, after the class ended, because Xue Weisong wasn’t feeling well, Mu Jiawen took over to deliver the homework from that class to Teacher Luo’s office.

“Reporting!”

She shouted to announce her presence and then gently knocked on the slightly ajar door, but there was no response from inside.

Looking through the crack in the door, Mu Jiawen could clearly see Luo Xiao sitting behind her desk, tilting her head and staring out the window, lost in thought.

It wasn’t until Jiawen knocked more forcefully a few more times that Luo Xiao snapped back from her absent thoughts and looked towards the door, “Xiaosi…”

Having spent a lot of time with Yu Heng, she had also gotten used to calling Mu Jiawen “Xiaosi” when no one else was around.

“What are you thinking about? You’re so focused.”

Mu Jiawen placed the homework on her desk and casually asked.

“It’s your brother… never mind, you should go have lunch. I’m fine here,” Luo Xiao said after a moment.

Mu Jiawen looked at her and suddenly asked, “Do you really want to marry my brother?”

Luo Xiao thought it was just a casual question and didn’t overthink it, simply nodding, “Of course, I’ve liked your brother for a long time. Now that we’re finally together, it would be foolish not to want to get married, wouldn’t it?”

“So no matter what, you won’t break up with my brother, right? Even if he doesn’t want to get married and just wants to date?”

Luo Xiao nodded without hesitation, “I won’t break up. I’ve said it’s been hard to finally be with him. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I definitely won’t break up.”

As for what this “absolutely necessary” situation would be, Luo Xiao hoped she would never reach that point.

Mu Jiawen stroked her chin, musing for a while, then suddenly leaned close to Luo Xiao and whispered, “I think, I have an idea that will make him have to agree to marry you.”

Luo Xiao’s eyes brightened, and she eagerly asked, “What idea? Let’s hear it.”

But Jiawen didn’t hurry to speak, instead, she lowered her gaze towards Luo Xiao’s stomach.

Luo Xiao, puzzled, asked, “What are you looking at?”

“Your stomach. I know getting pregnant before marriage doesn’t sound good, and it will have an impact on your reputation, but if you really do get pregnant, my big brother will surely marry you, otherwise my mom would kill him.”

Pre-marital pregnancy?

Luo Xiao looked at her and opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.

Although everything that should have happened between her and Yu Heng had already happened, the fact that they had slept together was kept a secret from her mom. Because her mom still held the old-fashioned belief that a man and a woman should not share a bed before marriage, she would always remember her mom’s cautionary words and assure her that she remembered.

But if she were to become pregnant, wouldn’t that be like confessing without being pressed?

She was certain her mother would scold her to death.

Luo Xiao shook her head, “No, no, that won’t do. This idea won’t work.”

Mu Jiawen said with surprise, “Why not? Don’t you two do it at least twice a week? Or is it that you don’t want children?”

Luo Xiao was stunned by her remark “at least twice a week” as if she had been struck by lightning. Her face turned red then pale, and for a moment she didn’t know how to respond.

After a while, she managed to ask with great difficulty, “Your brother, he… why would he tell you such a thing?”

Had Yu Heng lost his mind? How could he casually mention such a thing to Xiaosi? Had he been kicked in the head by a donkey?

But Mu Jiawen just laughed lightly and said, “Who needs to say anything? There are always two days a week when he doesn’t come home to sleep. I heard my mom murmuring about it, and she even told him to be careful… Oh, right, you think this idea won’t work, is it because you guys use condoms, making it hard to get pregnant?”

After being struck by lightning once, Luo Xiao found it easier to accept the shocking words that came out of Mu Jiawen’s mouth the second time around.

She looked at her in disbelief, “You’re only eighteen, how could you understand all this? Where did you learn it?” Was it that her mother had taught her these physiological knowledge in advance?

It really was different having lived abroad, so open-minded.

When she was Mu Jiawen’s age, aside from studying and exams, she didn’t know anything else. At twenty-two, when she saw condoms for sale in a store, she didn’t even know what they were for.

“Is it that hard to understand?” Mu Jiawen asked with a look of surprise, “Many novels describe this in great detail. Like the idea I suggested to you, poking a hole in a condom with a needle can increase the chances of getting pregnant. That way you could get married because of the child and also become a mother, killing two birds with one stone. Isn’t that great?”

Poking holes with a needle?

She learned this from novels?

Luo Xiao stared at Mu Jiawen for a few seconds, then leaned in and asked in a low voice, “Which novel?”

After asking, she realized something was amiss and quickly waved her hands, “No, no, that idea of yours won’t work. Your brother would definitely argue with me if he found out.”

“Are you silly? Even if he argues, won’t you already have his baby by then? Don’t worry, he won’t let you have an abortion. Even if he harbors a thought of it, my mom would kill him.”

In just this short time, Mu Jiawen had already mentioned twice that her mother would kill Yu Heng.

Luo Xiao remembered Director Mu, who was always kind and friendly upon meeting, being… so harsh with her own son?

But hearing it felt rather satisfying.

Seeing Luo Xiao still looking indecisive, Mu Jiawen stood up straight and said, “There’s no rush with this kind of thing. You can think it over slowly. If you really want to get married this year, then hurry up and get pregnant, so I can become an aunt.”

After finishing her speech, she patted Luo Xiao on the shoulder and left the office.

After Mu Jiawen left, Luo Xiao sat behind the desk for a good while, until her phone’s ringtone sounded, and then she got up and headed for the cafeteria.

Truth be told, she was quite tempted by Mu Jiawen’s suggestion.

Why did her mom always hurry her to get married?

One of the reasons was that it’s best for a woman to have children before the age of thirty, because after thirty, one would be considered an older mother, with increased risks for the child and more suffering for herself.

So… maybe she should consider Xiaosi’s idea?
