Ye Hao led his wife to the sofa and made her sit down.

He still looked very upset but the fury in his eyes had subsided a little.

He frowned and said, Ill handle Xi Xis problem. We should raise our grandchild at the Ye family home after she gives birth. Jiang Cheng isnt worthy of our daughter. He used the words not worthy to describe Jiang Cheng.

He didnt like anything about Jiang Cheng, so he didnt feel comfortable entrusting his daughters future to this man.

He Xiyan looked at him in surprise and confusion. She couldnt understand why he was so against Jiang Cheng and Xi Xi.

How could we do that? The child would be an illegitimate and fatherless child if we do that, she said.

He Xiyan had a different view since she was a woman. She wanted the best for her grandchild and after all, a child would need his father.

A child doesnt need to have a father. Well raise him Ye Hao said.

He Xiyan was left speechless by his attitude.

She had guessed that her husband might be against this pregnancy and force their daughter to have an abortion, but she didnt expect him to react in this manner.

If her daughter were to be a single mom, how would she be able to talk about her child when it was time for her to find a marriage partner?

Lets ask for Jiang Chengs opinion when hes here later, she said.

She couldnt bear to let this happen and hoped for the sake of her daughter and her grandchild, that she would be able to give birth without damaging her reputation in the process.

Xi Xi was speaking to her boyfriend downstairs and this call had been ongoing for almost 30 minutes.

Jiang Cheng kept trying to explain himself over the phone and made a vow.

Xi Xi, let me explain this matter to your parents tomorrow morning. Dont worry, Im sure theyll agree to let us get married. Ill call my parents to break the news to them as well. Theyd be very pleased and theyre both very fond of you, he said.

Xi Xi sat on the sofa and she seemed a little fatigued. She closed her eyes and tiredness was written all over her face.

Come back soon then, she said. She sounded very calm and there wasnt any anger or disappointment in her voice.

Oh, please dont snap back if my dad were to berate you, she added.

Ive got this, dont worry. Please turn in soon and stop thinking too much into this. Wait for me to come back and well settle this problem together, he said.

Xi Xi wrapped up the call with him and rose from the sofa. She seemed a little pale under the lamplight as she gently placed a hand over her flat belly. Her belly was firm and flat but there was a new life growing within her.

This was her child and she would be a mom in a few months time.

I will not abandon you, babe she thought to herself.

He Xiyan and Ye Hao couldnt sleep that night.

As Xi Xis parents, they felt very upset that this had happened to her.

He Xiyan even blamed herself for failing to educate her daughter on such matters. They had doted on their daughter too much, so Xi Xi had stepped into society with a lot of naivety. She was also bold and rushed into things without stopping to reconsider the consequences.

She felt as though she had failed as a mother for spoiling her daughter.

Ye Hao pulled her into his arms.

They were wide awake even though it was 3 AM in the morning.

Yan Yan, go to bed, he said comfortingly.

He Xiyan was sleepy but she couldnt fall asleep.

Why do you think Xi Xi had been so silly? she couldnt help but say with a sigh.

Ye Hao wrapped his arms around his wifes shoulder.
