Transmigrated into the fat wife of the future prime minister

Chapter 101 Be Brave

"Mom, don't worry, I'm really fine."

Seeing Xu Qingmeng's affirmative expression, Madam He finally gave up.

Then he pulled Xu Qingmeng to sit on the edge of the bed and told her a lot about things to pay attention to during pregnancy. He also told her not to worry about things at the shop and to rest at home.

Xu Qingmeng listened quietly with her head down, feeling a warm feeling in her heart.

To be honest, Madam He was truly an excellent mother-in-law. Not only was she rare in this era, but even in later generations, it would be difficult to find someone like her.

By the time I finally came out of the house, it was already dark.

Gu Yunyi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What did Mother say to you? Why are you being so secretive? Why won't she let us in?"

Xu Qingmeng glared at him, said nothing, and disappeared in a flash.

Gu Yunyi was completely bewildered. What happened? He had just asked a question casually.

Just then, Madam He came out, and he asked, "Mengniang, what's wrong? Is things not going well at the pastry shop lately? Or...?"

Before Gu Yunyi could finish speaking, Madam He pulled him into the house and questioned him thoroughly.

Gu Yunyi, who was being pulled along by He Shi, was even more confused. What was going on?
"mother?"

"Don't call me 'Mother'? What's going on between you and Mengniang?"

"What's going on?"

"Mengniang, you're more than two months pregnant? Did you know? You two had sex in March? Why didn't you say so? And also..."

Gu Yunyi was taken aback by the question, but quickly calmed down.

Looking back now, he realized that Mengniang got pregnant during that time with Xu Qingmeng. He had mentioned it casually once before, and she had acted so strangely.

So she knew all along, but just didn't say anything? But why didn't she say anything? Could it be that she...?

No, no, now that she's pregnant with his child, how could he let her go? This gives him even more reason to keep her by his side.

Even if she doesn't love him anymore, it doesn't matter, he will make her fall in love with him again.

Looking at Gu Yunyi's foolish expression, Madam He knew that she wouldn't get anything out of him now.

"Alright, get lost. Just looking at you annoys me. I have to get back to work."

Gu Yunyi went straight back to his room, where Xu Qingmeng was sitting and writing something.

Xu Qing dreamed of him like this, and knew that Madam He must have told him.

Before he could even speak, she said directly, "Well, don't worry, I can raise the child myself and won't use the child to bind you. If you're still worried, we can sign the divorce papers right now."

"What did you say?"

Gu Yunyi's voice suddenly rose, clearly not expecting her to say that, and he looked at Xu Qingmeng in disbelief.

Does this woman have no heart? Although it was his fault at first, he shouldn't have said such harsh words to her.

But hasn't he been changing over the past few months? The Xu Qingmeng who used to have eyes only for him now only wants to leave her, even though she's pregnant.

Gu Yunyi was so angry that his face darkened.

Xu Qingmeng frowned slightly, not understanding why he was angry.

Isn't this exactly what he wanted?
Xu Qingmeng looked at Gu Yunyi's gloomy face, her heart filled with doubt.

She thought that saying these words would make him feel better, since their relationship hadn't started out as mutual.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who would be irresponsible? We're already married, regardless of the reason, that's a fact," Gu Yunyi asked, suppressing his anger. Xu Qingmeng paused for a moment, then replied, "I know, but didn't we agree before that we could divorce at any time? Isn't that what you wanted?"

"Did I say that? You said it, I didn't agree!" Gu Yunyi walked closer to her, staring intently into her eyes, as if trying to see through her heart.

Xu Qingmeng felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and turned her head away, saying, "Um, didn't you say not to let me have any ideas about you?"

Gu Yunyi's face darkened further, secretly regretting that he had said those words back then.

"You should rest first. The shop will open soon. I'll go help out in the front." After saying that, Gu Yunyi turned and left.

"Wait a minute, this is the divorce agreement. Are you going to sign it?"

"Xu Qingmeng, when did I ever say I wanted a divorce? In the Gu family, there is only widowhood, not divorce." Gu Yunyi left without looking back.

Xu Qingmeng's hand holding the divorce papers froze in mid-air. She watched Gu Yunyi's departing figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

In her mind, he should have accepted it readily.

She slowly put down the divorce papers and gently stroked her abdomen.

Two little lives are growing inside her, and she knows this child will change many things.

She originally thought that if she could get a divorce, she could find a quiet place to live with her child and raise the child by relying on her pastry-making skills.

But as we can see now, that's not very realistic, so let's be brave.

The soup that Mrs. He stewed for Xu Qingmeng was simply chicken soup with red dates. The rich chicken soup was accompanied by the aroma of red dates. Although Mrs. He's cooking skills were not great, it was still quite good because it was made with an old hen.

Yun Sheng, who was enjoying the free food and drinks, licked his lips with satisfaction.

"Mother, I want more to drink." Yun Sheng handed an empty bowl to Madam He.

Mrs. He gave her a tap, saying, "That's all. This was made for your sister-in-law, and you've already had a bowl."

Yun Sheng pouted and grumbled, "Mom, you're so biased."

However, since the beating he received that morning was still fresh in his mind, he dared not cause any more trouble.

After dinner, they chatted for a while, mostly telling Xu Qingmeng not to overwork herself. Before going back to bed, Madam He also reminded Xu Qingmeng to soak her feet in hot water to relieve her fatigue.

The weather is getting warmer now, and soaking her feet in hot water is uncomfortable, but it's all for her own good, so she did it anyway.

From the end of their conversation to the end of their meal, neither of them said another word. Xu Qing wanted to say something, but she didn't know how.

"Shall we give it a try?" Gu Yunyi said after a moment's thought.

Xu Qingmeng paused, then glanced at him.

Seeing that she remained silent, his intelligence immediately kicked in, and he tentatively asked, "Give each other a chance? Let the child have a complete family."

Xu Qingmeng lowered her eyes, her expression unreadable, and gently bit her lip, remaining silent.

Gu Yunyi couldn't figure out what she meant, but he didn't dare to do anything. He thought that she had been hurt too deeply and didn't want to accept him anymore.

Just as I was about to say something, I heard a soft "hmm" pass by my ear.

"My wife, you...you've agreed?" He turned to look at her, happiness seemingly coming too suddenly.

Xu Qingmeng blushed deeply and then glared at him.

Gu Yunyi understood and grinned, "Then can I sleep in the bed?"
