After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

As soon as Lan Yujuan entered the house, before she could even put her things down, her mother excitedly surrounded her, asking her questions.

"real?"

"Is Li Ruizhen pregnant?"

Lan Yujuan was startled and quickly asked:

"Mom, how did you know!"

"Brother Qin Zhang told the family so quickly?"

Upon hearing this, Lan's mother smiled so broadly that her mouth almost reached the back of her ears.

"Hearing you say that, it seems there really is good news!"

Then, Lan's mother explained with a smile.

"Last night, Qin Zhang suddenly called home and told your Aunt Ya Jing that he's going on vacation to come home and wants to get married!"

"When your Aunt Ya Jing heard the news, she was both surprised and delighted, as if she were dreaming! She thought about it all night and still couldn't figure it out."

Lan Yujuan poured herself a glass of water and listened while drinking it.

"Hmm, and then, you guessed it?"

There's no evidence or proof; could it be that they're deliberately trying to scam her?

Mother Lan looked at her with a smile, "Did you accompany Li Rui to the hospital for a check-up yesterday afternoon?"

Lan Yujuan nodded gently, "Mm."

Mother Lan smiled and said, "This morning, your Uncle Qin went to his workplace."

"I just heard from his student that he saw you in the orthopedics department yesterday with a friend, but you disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Your Uncle Qin was worried, so he made a special trip to check on things, but I didn't expect..."

Lan Yujuan suddenly thought of something and quickly asked:

"Mom, are Uncle Qin and Aunt Yajing home today?"

"Li Rui will be here soon. She and Qin Zhang agreed that they would tell their parents about the pregnancy after they get their marriage certificate."

"Now that my aunt and uncle know in advance, I'm afraid Li Rui will feel awkward when we run into them."

Mother Lan immediately replied, "Don't worry about that, we're sensible!"

"It's all agreed that if the young couple doesn't say anything, we'll pretend we don't know anything."

"Your Uncle Qin and Aunt Ya Jing heard that Li Rui was coming to our house for dinner today, so they brought over their gifts early this morning."

"He said he made plans to go fishing at a reservoir in the countryside today and wouldn't be back until dark, so we definitely won't run into each other!"

Lan Yujuan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, that's good!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but yawn.

Seeing her sleepy face, Lan's mother gently scolded:

"It's a rare holiday, I wanted you to sleep in, why are you up so early?"

"It's still early, go back to your room and lie down for a while."

Lan Yujuan played with her daughter for a while, then went back to her study, drew the curtains, and went back to sleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept, but her neck felt a little itchy, so she reached out and scratched it before turning over.

Suddenly, I heard some hushed laughter coming from the side.

She opened one eye and saw that Li Rui had brought the little guy into the study at some point and was now squatting by the daybed, "ambushing" her.

"You two little rascals." Lan Yujuan rubbed her eyes and sat up with a smile.

"When did you come in? I didn't hear you."

She gently rubbed the little one's head, making him giggle. He then climbed onto the bed and nestled into her arms.

Li Rui, carrying a plate of fruit, sat down beside him with a broad smile.

"We just came in."

"Tell me honestly, what did you do last night?"

"Why are you so sleepy in broad daylight?"

Li Rui ate fruit while looking at her, his smile carrying a deeper meaning.

Lan Yujuan cleared her throat, her eyes beginning to dart away.

"Cough, cough!"

"I don't have a boyfriend, so what can I do at night? Stay up late and read novels, I guess."

Li Rui listened without doubting.

Until the little one lying on top of her accidentally pulled down her collar.

Then, with a curious look, he pointed to the red mark on her neck and asked with concern:

"Mom, it's red here."

"Was it a mosquito bite?"

Lan Yujuan's cheeks flushed red instantly. "Hmm, it's probably from a mosquito bite."

She was extremely guilty, and her voice was softer than a mosquito's buzz.

Li Rui was peeling an orange when he heard this, he paused and immediately came over.

"Mosquitoes in April? Let me see?"

Lan Yujuan quickly straightened her collar and mumbled:

"What's so interesting about this?"

"Is the orange delicious? Let me have a bite."

Seeing her expression, how could Li Rui not understand?

He handed her an orange while laughing so hard he almost fell over.

Only the clueless little guy jumped off the daybed and ran outside in a flash.

The two people in the study were still joking and laughing when they suddenly heard the little guy shouting from the living room outside:

"Grandma, where's the mosquito repellent?"

Hearing the noise, Lan's mother peeked out from the kitchen and asked curiously:

"Baby, why are you looking for mosquito repellent?"

"It should be in the drawer. Ask your grandpa to get it for you."

The little guy ran around the living room, shouting loudly:

"My mom got bitten by mosquitoes, and her neck is all red!"

Lan Yujuan, in the study, was too late to stop it; her heart was filled with tears.

She silently put a segment of orange into her mouth, and it was so sour that she almost burst.

Li Rui stood by, gloating, laughing so hard he was pounding the bed, tears streaming down his face.

Lan Yujuan turned to look at her friend and said quietly:

"Stop laughing!"

"What's wrong with April? I just got bitten by mosquitoes."

"If you keep laughing at me, I can't guarantee I won't let something slip... um."

Li Rui rushed over and covered her mouth, immediately cowering.

"make a deal!"

Although it was a case of the pot calling the kettle black, Lan Yujuan, who had barely gained the upper hand, still smiled smugly.

Then I heard a knock on the living room door.

After the door opened, Chen Mo's familiar voice came through.

"Auntie, I think I left my car keys behind last night."

"Where's Lan Yujuan? Has she come back?"

"I tried calling her this morning, but I couldn't get through."

Mother Lan smiled and said, "She's back!"

"I've been resting since I got home this morning, so I probably didn't hear it."

"You've come at the right time; Li Rui is here today too."

"Yujuan bought a lot of groceries early this morning, why don't you stay for a simple meal!"

Before Chen Mo could even agree, Lan Yujuan rushed out of the study, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she didn't dare to meet Chen Mo's gaze.

"You're mistaken. Your car keys definitely aren't with me!"

She remembered clearly that when she dragged Chen Mo home last night, his hands were empty.

There was nothing in his pocket except for his uncomfortable cell phone.

Mother Lan hesitated and said:

"How could Chen Mo's car keys be with you in the middle of the night?"

"Let me look around and see if I left it at home here."

Lan Yujuan belatedly realized what was happening, and her face turned even redder.

In contrast, Chen Mo remained remarkably calm.

Even under the watchful eyes of everyone, he still dared to glance at her from time to time.

"Car keys?...Here they are!"

The little guy, holding a bottle of floral water in one hand, turned around and lay down on the floor, pulled out the car keys from under the sofa, and ran towards the two of them like he was showing off a treasure.
