He kept muttering to himself, but Wu Xiaoli just watched from the side with a smile.
She had felt the sa way when she first found out.
In fact, her reaction had been even more exaggerated than his.
Tears flowed uncontrollably.
In her previous marriage, she was constantly accused of being a hen that couldn’t lay eggs. It was a raw humiliation she had endured for several years.
She reached back with her small hand and squeezed his large one, soothing him.
"Brother Sun, you didn’t mishear. You’re going to be a father."
Her comforting words quickly cald Sun Dasheng down.
Coming to his senses, he imdiately and carefully helped her over to the bed to sit down.
Seeing this, Wu Xiaoli chuckled. "Brother Sun, you don’t need to be like this. The baby and I aren’t that fragile."
Sun Dasheng’s old face flushed red. This was his first ti experiencing such a thing, and he had no idea what to do.
"When did you find out? How far along are you?" Sun Dasheng asked gently, sitting beside her and putting his arm around her.
Wu Xiaoli leaned her head on his shoulder, her face radiating happiness. "I was feeling unwell yesterday, so I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I was being careless, asking how I could only be coming in for a check-up now when the baby is already a month along."
Sun Dasheng instantly did the math in his head. The timing was perfect—right after their last night together.
"Let’s hire another housekeeper," Sun Dasheng suggested. "Your mother is getting older and isn’t in the best of health; she won’t be able to take care of you by herself."
"But..."
Knowing what Wu Xiaoli was hesitant about, Sun Dasheng pressed a finger to her lips and whispered in her ear, "Don’t worry. When the ti cos, I’ll go and explain everything to Auntie myself."
"Mhm," Wu Xiaoli nodded happily.
"Also..." He surveyed the apartnt, which was more than enough for a mother and daughter.
But his, Sun Dasheng’s, first child was about to be born. How could they possibly live in such a small house?
"In a couple of days, I’ll get you a bigger house. This one is still a little too small."
"There’s no need, Brother Sun. This house is already so large and nice. Many people would be envious of a place like this."
Wu Xiaoli tried to refuse.
But Sun Dasheng wouldn’t listen. He firmly rejected her refusal.
"Where is Auntie?" Sun Dasheng asked, noticing her absence.
Wu Xiaoli answered, looking a little sheepish, "I just sent her to the supermarket to buy so groceries."
Sending her own mother away just to see her lover... Wu Xiaoli was really sothing else. He liked it, though. It ant this woman’s heart belonged completely to him. It didn’t take long.
「Two days later.」
The house was purchased.
It was in the Erald Lake Heavenly Mansion complex, a famous luxury residential area in Shanghai City. Its ranking was even higher than the famous Tangchen Yipin.
A year ago, the price was over 300,000 per square ter. Now, even after dropping quite a bit, it was still upwards of 250,000.
The apartnt Sun Dasheng chose was a large 296-square-ter single-floor apartnt with three bedrooms and two living rooms.
Such a large area was divided into only three rooms. Each one was incredibly spacious and ca with its own en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet.
He eventually negotiated a price of 280,000 per square ter. The landlord hadn’t skimped on costs; the renovations alone were worth nearly ten million.
Furthermore, the apartnt had been left vacant for two years after the renovation, so they could move in with peace of mind. There were no worries about formaldehyde or other things that could harm a pregnant woman.
In the end, including the realtor’s fee, the total ca to 83,500,000.
This practically drained his personal account of all its cash. For the first ti, his balance dropped below one million.
Still, the money was well spent. The happiness on his woman’s face was sothing money could not buy.
"What do you think of this place? Do you like it?" Sun Dasheng asked as he showed her around.
Wu Xiaoli replied with a playful glare, "A house that cost over eighty million... how could I possibly not like it?"
Though her words sounded like a complaint, the smile on her face was impossible to hide.
"This is our master bedroom, this secondary bedroom is for Auntie, and we can convert the last bedroom into a nursery for the little one when they get a bit older," Sun Dasheng chattered on. "As for a housekeeper, we won’t hire a live-in one."
"Mhm, whatever you say," she would chi in from ti to ti, holding his arm.
"What about the old apartnt? Should we leave it empty or rent it out?"
"Hmm, that’s a good point," Sun Dasheng mused. "Let’s just leave it empty for now. We shouldn’t rent it out, or we risk soone ssing the place up. While most tenants are decent, you always have to worry about the bad few."
"Oh, right. That apartnt is also zoned for a very good school. It’ll be perfect as a school district ho for our child in the future."
Wu Xiaoli was delighted to hear this. His words ant he cared deeply for their unborn child, already planning so far ahead for them.
「After the move.」
Mother Wu found out she was going to be a grandmother.
She was so overjoyed that she completely forgot about her son-in-law and no longer had the heart to bla him and her daughter for their secret affair.
The young couple thought they had been very discreet, but in reality, she had suspected sothing for a while.
As an experienced woman, she knew what was going on. Her daughter kept finding excuses to send her out of the house. She might not have noticed the first or second ti, but she’d have to be a fool not to catch on by the third or fourth.
Clearly, as a clever woman, Mother Wu had figured it out long ago.
But she didn’t expose them or try to stop them.
Because she also approved of this excellent son-in-law.
So she watched quietly from the sidelines, letting events take their course.
And now, she was about to be blessed with a grandson or a granddaughter. This made her incredibly happy.
Initially, when she heard they were planning to hire a housekeeper, she was sowhat displeased, feeling as though the young couple was underestimating her.
But after her daughter showed her online videos about modern parenting, she abandoned the idea.
