“Son, I heard you have a girlfriend?”
Si Ruohan’s mother, who was far away overseas, was so happy to hear that her son had a girlfriend that she didn’t even care about the time difference and immediately called to confirm.
After accompanying Pei Xi to her prenatal checkup, Si Ruohan went back to work in the afternoon. He had just arrived at his office when he received a call from his mother.
Si Ruohan: “Mom, who told you that?”
Although Si Ruohan hadn’t stopped anyone from telling him, the only people he knew well were Ji Huaiyu and a few others. He was certain that Ji Huaiyu and Bai Minglang would never tell his mother.
Because if his mother knew, their parents would know too, and the pressure to get married would intensify.
Therefore, Si Ruohan was very certain it wasn’t them. Even Song Shaojin wouldn’t; he wouldn’t do such a thing.
“You heard it from Guan Xinyue, right? Did she message you? Or call you? Did she say anything else? Why do you still have her number?”
Si Ruohan could guess who had leaked the information.
Mrs. Si immediately stood up on the other end of the phone and explained,
“I don’t have her number! I don’t know where she found mine. I didn’t want to answer, but I answered because I was afraid of missing work. Knowing it was her calling, I was planning to just say a few words and hang up. But she said you have a girlfriend. As for the rest, I didn’t remember anything.”
Si Ruohan replied, “It’s good that you know, so I don’t have to tell you. My girlfriend’s name is Pei Xi. She just graduated from university. She’s a really nice girl. You’ll like her when you see her.”
Mrs. Si had thought her son was stubborn and still had feelings for Guan Xinyue. She was planning to arrange a blind date for him when she went back home.
Who knew that before she even took any action, her son already had a girlfriend! This was truly a joyous occasion!
According to Guan Xinyue, her son had already brought his girlfriend to the company and introduced her to everyone as the president’s wife. It seemed that this time, her son had taken a liking to the girl.
Don’t think she couldn’t understand Guan Xinyue’s meaning; wasn’t she implying that her son’s girlfriend wasn’t of high status and that they wouldn’t be interested?
Guan Xinyue was really overthinking it. As long as the girl had a clean background, was a good person, and her son liked her, they, as parents, wouldn’t care about her family background.
“Son, Mom wants to see what your girlfriend looks like right now. Do you have a photo? Send us one! When I get back, I’ll go see her and prepare a gift for her.”
Si Ruohan did have a photo of Pei Xi on his phone, taken when they went for a walk earlier.
Si Ruohan casually sent a photo to his mother.
“When are you coming back? Don’t say in a couple of days! That’s too sudden, it’ll scare her. Just stick to your original plans, have fun as usual, so you won’t be too busy with work later and won’t have time to travel.”
Si’s mother really wanted to meet her future daughter-in-law soon, but hearing what her son said, she felt that what her son said made sense.
Her son and Pei Xi hadn’t been together for very long, and if she suddenly showed up like this, it would indeed scare her.
“Alright, let’s go back in a while. Be nice to that girl, okay? Don’t let me go back and find my daughter-in-law gone!”
Si Ruohan smiled. “No way, she can’t run away.”
They’re already married and have a child, where could she run off to?
Si Ruohan thought that if he told his mother now that she was going to be a grandmother, she would definitely rush over that very night.
Under Si Ruohan’s persuasion, Si’s mother suppressed her eagerness. Her son was right; she couldn’t scare her away. She had to wait until their relationship was stable before meeting her daughter-in-law.
It was wonderful! She had thought her son would be a bachelor forever, but he had suddenly given her such a big surprise!
She knew it! Her son was such a good person; if one woman didn’t like him, someone else would! See, fate had brought them together!
After making the call, Mrs. Si felt incredibly happy. Looking at the photo Si Ruohan had sent her, she couldn’t stop smiling and said to Mr. Si,
“Look, look! Our son has such good taste! Isn’t this daughter-in-law beautiful?”
Mr. Si had been busy with work and hadn’t heard his wife and son’s conversation. Now that he heard what his wife was saying, he also took a look.
He nodded, knowing what his wife wanted to hear:
“Not bad, she’s prettier than that girl from the Guan family.”
Mrs. Si happily nodded in agreement:
“That’s right, I think so too. And she just graduated from university, much younger than that girl from the Guan family. Oh dear! I didn’t expect our son to be so ruthless!”
It’s really an old cow eating young grass!
No, her daughter-in-law is so good, she needs to prepare more gifts.
Thinking this, Mrs. Si also posted Pei Xi’s photo in their Si family group chat to reassure everyone.
Especially the second and third daughters, who were furious when they heard that the girl from the Guan family had rejected Si Ruohan.
Seeing that her younger brother hadn’t found a girlfriend, she was terribly worried, fearing that Si Ruohan still had feelings for Guan Xinyue and wouldn’t be interested in other girls.
Now, things are alright, her son has found a girlfriend, and they can finally rest assured.
This photo from Si’s mother stirred up everyone who was lurking in the Si family group chat.
They all tagged Si Ruohan, who was annoyed to no end, so he simply replied “Absolutely true” and turned off notifications.
If he was harassed like this any longer, he wouldn’t be able to work.
Grandma Si, however, was shrewd. Remembering Si Ruohan’s earlier request for Liu Ma to come and take care of him, she quietly asked Liu Ma if Si Ruohan really had a girlfriend.
Hearing Liu Ma’s affirmation, and that the two had a good relationship, Grandma Si was finally relieved.
Xiao Si’s love life has been so bumpy. Now that he has a girlfriend, she’s finally relieved.
Hmph! She wants to see if her Xiao Si gets married first, or if that girl from the Guan family marries that boy from the Song family.
Grandma Si saw the photos in the group chat, but she wanted to see him in person. Knowing Pei Xi was staying with Si Ruohan, her eyes darted around, remembering the nutritional supplements someone had given them a few days ago.
She picked out two boxes of bird’s nest and some fresh fruit that had arrived that morning, planning to visit Si Ruohan.
Her grandchildren had all been married for several years already, and now, finally, there was more good news. Grandma Si felt she had something to do.
Pei Xi had no idea someone was coming to see her. After her afternoon nap, she took her laptop to the garden, watching dramas and drinking afternoon tea.
She wanted to write, but wasn’t she pregnant? Computers emit radiation, and prolonged exposure wasn’t good.
Even wearing a radiation-proof dress, she was worried.
Therefore, she decided that she wouldn’t start a new book until the baby was born.
She wasn’t short of money now; she just didn’t want to disappoint her fans.
Pei Xi felt hungry very quickly; she had just woken up from her afternoon nap and already wanted to eat again.
It had only been less than three hours since lunch, and she hadn’t done any physical labor, yet she was already hungry.
Fortunately, Aunt Liu had figured out her routine lately and prepared some food in the afternoon.
Today, it was sweet and fragrant white fungus soup, which was good for a girl’s health and beauty.
“Oh dear, Madam, what brings you here?”
Aunt Liu heard a car and thought it was Si Ruohan returning. When she came out, she found it was Madam Si and quickly went to help her.
Madam Si said with a smile,
“I heard that Xiao Si has a girlfriend, and I’m itching to come and see her. Do you think I might scare her by being so sudden?”
Aunt Liu smiled and said,
“No, Madam, don’t worry. Fourth Young Mistress is a very nice person. I’ll take you there; she’s in the back garden.”
