"It's mine," Lu Jinshen replied.
Tong Wenbin heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good."
Tong Qiao was unhappy. "Dad, you're making it sound like I'm having another man."
Tong Wenbin's face turned cold. "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just worried about you. "
Tong Qiao shrugged and didn't say anything.
After Tong Wenbin went downstairs, he recovered from his shock and was overjoyed. "I'm going to be a grandfather. Happiness came unexpectedly and caught me off guard."
He then looked at Xia Daiyun. "Daiyun, you have to buy some children's clothes quickly. It's already been more than four months. You're going to give birth in the blink of an eye."
Xia Daiyun wasn't as happy as Tong Wenbin. Instead, she frowned. "The two children haven't registered their marriage yet."
Previously, she had hoped that the two children would spend more time together before registering their marriage. But now that the children were already more than four months old, what was the point of waiting? The most important thing was to register their marriage as soon as possible.
Tong Wenbin looked at Lu Jinshen and then at Tong Qiao. "Why haven't they registered their marriage yet?"
"Qiao 'er said that the two of them aren't familiar with each other and need to spend more time together," Xia Daiyun replied.
Tong Wenbin looked at Tong Qiao with a straight face. "Aren't you messing around? You already have a child and you still aren't familiar with each other? "
Tong Qiao was speechless. How should she answer? Should she say that she got drunk and forced herself on Lu Jinshen and didn't want to take responsibility after sleeping with him? Dad would beat her to death if she said that, right?
Tong Wenbin saw that Tong Qiao lowered her head and didn't say anything. He thought of something and looked at Lu Jinshen. He smiled and asked, "Chief, are you unwilling to marry Qiao 'er?"
Tong Qiao hurriedly gave Lu Jinshen a look that clearly said, "Please, help me!"
Lu Jinshen ignored Tong Qiao's pleading gaze. "No, I'm willing to do it anytime."
Tong Qiao gritted her teeth and cursed Lu Jinshen's eighteen generations of ancestors in her heart.
This man was indeed unreliable!
Tong Wenbin looked at Tong Qiao, the smile on his face fading as he asked coldly, "Qiao 'er, what are you thinking?"
Tong Qiao pursed her lips. "Dad, isn't your differential treatment a little too obvious? You've always doted on me. "
"Don't talk nonsense with me." Tong Wenbin looked serious. "Let's get down to business. Since you're together and have a child, why don't you get married?"
"Don't blame Qiao 'er. I've already agreed to this. She's still young, so she might want to play a little longer. It's okay, I'll wait for her," Lu Jinshen said.
Tong Qiao: "…" F * ck, who wants to play? Although she was the one who didn't agree to the marriage, was this the attitude a man should have? How irresponsible!
Xia Daiyun shot Tong Qiao a reprimanding look, then looked at Lu Jinshen with a smile. "Chief, I'm really sorry that Qiao 'er doesn't know any better. Fortunately, you're steady in your work and didn't stoop to her level. It's Qiao' er's blessing to have you dote on her like this."
Tong Qiao: "…" Damn, even my mother has been bribed by this old man!
Lu Jinshen smiled faintly. "You can just call me Jinshen in the future. We're all family, so there's no need to stand on ceremony."
Xia Daiyun and Tong Wenbin nodded profusely in agreement.
Tong Qiao: "…" Who the hell is your family? This old man is too shameless!
Lu Jinshen added, "I've discussed it with Qiao 'er. Although we won't register our marriage for the time being, she'll move in with me first. I want to take good care of her and the child."
Tong Wenbin nodded. "Of course, of course. You're so thoughtful."
Tong Qiao: "…" Was this still the father who doted on her? She then looked at Xia Daiyun. "Mom, you …"
"I'll go pack Qiao 'er's luggage now," Xia Daiyun said as she got up and went upstairs.
Tong Qiao: "…" She was still hoping that they would persuade her to stay. Why were they so eager for her to leave? It was too hurtful.
After packing, Tong Wenbin helped to put the luggage in the trunk of Lu Jinshen's car.
Tong Qiao held Xia Daiyun's hand and said reluctantly, "Mom, do you not want me anymore?"
Xia Daiyun glared at Tong Qiao. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Then why don't you keep me?"
"You've grown up. Sooner or later, you'll have your own family. Mom can't stop you from living a happy life."
Tong Qiao: "…" She wanted to cry but had no tears. Was she happy? She didn't love this man.
Xia Daiyun patted the back of Tong Qiao's hand. Although she said that, her eyes still turned red. How could she bear to leave the daughter she had raised for 20 years? "Mom will visit you often. Be good and live well in the Lu family. Mom wants you to be happy."
Seeing that Xia Daiyun was about to cry, Tong Qiao didn't want her to be sad. She hugged her and coaxed her. "Okay, I know. I'll be happy. You and Dad have to be well."
"Okay."
In the car, Lu Jinshen saw Tong Qiao looking out of the window with a drooping face. He asked her, "You can't bear to leave?"
Tong Qiao rubbed her dry eyes and turned to look at Lu Jinshen. "No way." Thinking about what happened at the Tong family, Tong Qiao was burning with anger. She glared at Lu Jinshen as if she could spit fire. "Why did you make me take the blame for everything just now?"
Lu Jinshen frowned slightly. He obviously didn't agree with Tong Qiao. "How did I make you take the blame? I'm telling the truth. You were the one who didn't want to get the marriage certificate. I'm already giving you face by not saying that you didn't take responsibility for sleeping with me. "
Tong Qiao sneered. "So I have to thank you?"
"You're welcome."
Tong Qiao was so angry that her mouth was almost crooked. "At this time, you should stand out and take all the responsibility. How can you make a woman take the blame? Are you a man or not? "
Lu Jinshen turned to look at Tong Qiao. "Don't you know whether I'm a man or not? Didn't you experience it deeply that night? "
Tong Qiao felt hot blood rush to her head. "You … shameless!"
Lu Jinshen saw that Tong Qiao's face was red with anger. He smiled faintly and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be angry. It's not good for the child."
"How can I be angry if you don't provoke me?" Tong Qiao was so angry that smoke was about to come out of her head.
Lu Jinshen was silent for a few seconds. He lowered his voice and said, "I just don't want to leave an irresponsible image in your parents' minds. If I slept with you and had a child, but I didn't want to marry you, how much of a jerk would I be?"
"Yes, you're not a jerk now. My parents are on your side, so I've become an irresponsible woman who likes to play."
A faint smile appeared in Lu Jinshen's eyes. Was this woman jealous of her parents? "I'm their new son-in-law. Naturally, I have to leave a good impression. You're their daughter. No matter how much you like to play, they can understand and won't blame you. The only reason they're on my side today is because they want to treat me well. After you move to the Lu family, I'll treat you even better. At the end of the day, they want you to have a better life in the Lu family. "
Tong Qiao was speechless. Her eyes were stinging again. She didn't want to cry and embarrass herself in front of Lu Jinshen, so she diverted her attention and said coldly, "You're still pretending to be obedient after taking advantage of me."
