When Pei Xi woke up from her afternoon nap, Si Ruohan told her that his parents already knew about their relationship.
They knew they had registered their marriage and that she was pregnant.
Pei Xi didn’t care anymore; these were Si Ruohan’s parents, and it wasn’t right for them to keep it from her.
In two months, when her belly grew bigger, everyone would know anyway. If they told her now, everyone would only feel sorry for her.
In any case, she was the beneficiary.
“Hey! Why didn’t you tell me beforehand that your dad is the movie star Si Yu’an? He’s my favorite actor! And your mom is actually the diva Su Qimeng! I love her songs.
When I saw her this morning, I thought it was just someone who looked similar, and I didn’t even dare to recognize her.”
Pei Xi felt so happy! Her in-laws were actually her favorite celebrities.
Si Ruohan ruffled Pei Xi’s hair:
“Now you know, right? You can see your idol often from now on, aren’t you lucky?”
Pei Xi nodded vigorously: “Yes, yes! I’m so happy. But, why didn’t you enter the entertainment industry?”
With such good conditions, her parents are in the industry, she has connections and resources, what a smooth path!
Si Ruohan isn’t bad-looking either. If he were a star, Pei Xi thought he would definitely make a name for himself.
Si Ruohan chuckled: “Do you think that industry is so great? Everyone wants to be in it? I’m doing pretty well now! If I were in the entertainment industry, would you even be able to run into me?”
It’s common knowledge that celebrities in the entertainment industry are always followed by paparazzi. If Si Ruohan were in the entertainment industry, he would definitely have bodyguards around him. He would definitely go home instead of staying in a hotel.
Pei Xi thought Si Ruohan was right. If he were in the entertainment industry, he really wouldn’t be able to run into her.
And if she went into the wrong room, the man she met might not be as good as Si Ruohan.
Thinking about it, Pei Xi thought that if she had the chance to choose the man in that room that day, she would still choose Si Ruohan!
Handsome, rich, and good to her—how could she be picky about such a perfect man?
“Now that your parents know, what do they think? Will they think I’m a bad girl, clinging to you just because I’m pregnant?”
Pei Xi was quite concerned about how Si Ruohan’s family viewed her. She worried that they might think she was using her pregnancy to manipulate others, that she was relying on her child for status.
Si Ruohan kissed Pei Xi deeply on the cheek.
“Don’t worry, my parents are very happy and haven’t had any worries.
They’re going to be grandparents and are incredibly excited. They’re downstairs right now discussing what gift to give you.
Remember to address them as grandparents when you go down, they’re giving you a hefty ‘change of address’ fee!”
Pei Xi confirmed repeatedly, “They’re really not angry?”
Si Ruohan grasped Pei Xi’s hand and nodded heavily, “No, if you don’t believe me, just get up and go downstairs and see for yourself.”
Pei Xi was half-convinced, but when her new mother-in-law gave her a set of expensive gemstone jewelry and her new father-in-law gave her several properties, Pei Xi was completely stunned. She repeatedly backed away, refusing.
“These…these things are too valuable, I can’t accept them.”
These things really were too valuable; even if Pei Xi sold herself, she couldn’t get that much! Pei Xi felt that Si Ruohan had already given her enough; her in-laws didn’t need to give her anything more!
Pei Xi wasn’t playing hard to get; she genuinely didn’t dare accept them!
“Ahan has already given me so much. You should keep these things. If I accept them, I won’t be able to sleep at night. I don’t feel safe keeping them anywhere.”
Hearing Pei Xi’s explanation, Mr. and Mrs. Si chuckled. This child, how could she complain about having too much money? Mr.
Si handed the items directly to Si Ruohan.
“Then let Ahan keep them for you for now. He has a safe.”
Mrs. Si also placed the items in Si Ruohan’s hands.
“That’s right, let Ahan keep them for you. Once Ahan buys you a safe, you can keep it yourself. Xiao Xi, let me tell you, we girls shouldn’t complain about having too much money. Money gives you courage. With money, you can do many things, and you don’t even need to ask for help.”
Hearing Mrs. Si’s earnest advice, Pei Xi looked to Si Ruohan for help, hoping he could get her out of the predicament.
Si Ruohan neatly folded the things in his hands and gestured to Pei Xi:
“Xi Xi, why don’t you thank your parents? These are their gifts for their daughter-in-law!”
Si’s mother nodded with a smile; it was time to change how she addressed them.
Pei Xi opened her mouth, looking at Si’s parents’ expectant faces, and greeted them generously.
“Dad, Mom,”
Si’s parents said in unison, Si’s mother taking Pei Xi’s hand.
“Little Xi, I’ll have some free time in a couple of days, I’ll take you shopping. We’ll buy you lots of pretty clothes and dress you up nicely. We’re so beautiful, we should dress up more.”
Si’s mother said, glancing at Pei Xi’s belly.
“I’ll have someone send you some cosmetics suitable for pregnant women, they definitely won’t harm the baby.”
They ate dinner at Si’s grandmother’s again tonight. During dinner, Si Ruohan announced these two things, and everyone was very happy for Si Ruohan and Pei Xi.
Grandpa Si’s beard trembled with laughter at the news of another great-grandchild. He then pointed at his two granddaughters beside him.
“You two, are you still the older sisters? Your brother is married and has children now, what about you? When are you going to get married? Are you going to stay at home as old maids?”
Grandpa Si was genuinely anxious. His two granddaughters were both over 30, beautiful and talented, but still unmarried!
When he went out and people asked him if his granddaughters had found boyfriends, he felt embarrassed to answer.
Si Ruoxuan and Si Ruoyun exchanged a glance, ignored him, and silently lowered their heads to eat their food.
Finding a son-in-law wasn’t like picking cabbages; you couldn’t just find someone you liked. It wasn’t that easy to find someone satisfactory.
They knew what kind of men around them were, and even those who weren’t married already had children who were old enough to run errands.
As for men from less privileged backgrounds, they worried that the men were only after their families and willing to marry them to climb the social ladder, not out of genuine affection. They really didn’t want that kind of marriage!
Furthermore, having grown accustomed to the men in their own family, Si Ruoxuan and Si Ruoyun felt that no man outside could compare to theirs.
The men in their Si family were known for their devotion to their wives; most other families, on the other hand, had wives at home and mistresses on the side.
Now that they knew Pei Xi had registered her marriage with Si Ruohan and was now the Si family’s daughter-in-law, Pei Xi received gifts from other members of the Si family that evening.
Seeing how readily the Si family accepted her, Pei Xi felt a warmth in her heart. It was wonderful; she had family now.
