âThatâs great! Weâve got double happiness in our family now,â Daddy He said cheerfully.
âYes,â Father Ye agreed.
âMom, Dad, maybe we should set the date soon. After all, Xiaomengâs belly is getting bigger,â He Ming suggested. He understood Xiaomengâs desire to look beautiful, and she wouldnât want to wear a wedding dress with a big belly.
âSo what if sheâs getting married with a big belly? Many people do it nowadays,â Mother He finally spoke up, but her words didnât make anyone feel comfortable.
As soon as Ye Xiaomeng heard this, she froze. What did Mother He mean by that?
Did she want people to know that they got pregnant before getting married? This wouldnât be good for Xiaomengâs reputation.
Mother Yeâs expression changed when she heard this. She could tell from her words that Mother He didnât think highly of her daughter.
She couldnât help but feel angry. Her precious daughter shouldnât be looked down upon like this. fĐłeewebnovŃl.com
If she disagreed, she would support her daughter for the rest of her life and wouldnât let her suffer.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, He Ming quickly added, âMom, letâs set the date soon. Itâs not convenient for Xiaomeng with a big belly.â
He Ming was in a difficult position.
âYes, letâs do it soon so everyone can be happy. You can take wedding photos later,â Daddy He knew that his wife was unhappy, so he quickly changed the subject to ease the tension.
âYeah, letâs wait a few days until Xiaomeng isnât so tired, and then weâll go take the photos,â He Ming nodded. It was a good idea.
After everyone had finished discussing, they started eating.
Mother He still seemed distant, but Xiaomeng didnât want to confront her.
During the meal, Xiaomengâs appetite was affected by her mood, so He Ming, being attentive, called the waiters and asked them to bring some dishes that Xiaomeng liked, fearing she wouldnât eat enough.
Mother He watched all this, becoming increasingly unhappy.
Was her son going to be like this in the future, always doting on Xiaomeng?
She worried that if she said something, it would be difficult to salvage the situation.
Finally, after much effort, everything was settled, and the meal was finished.
He Ming drove Xiaomengâs parents back home, but Xiaomeng didnât go with them for now. Things seemed stable, so she decided to stay a bit longer, delaying the wedding photo shoot.
Back home, Xiaomeng waved He Ming over. âIt seems like your mom isnât openly opposing, but sheâs not showing support either. What do you think she means?â
Xiaomeng still felt uncomfortable. She could tolerate her mother-in-lawâs usual behavior, but today, with her own parents present, it felt like too much. She didnât want to engage in such behavior.

âIf sheâs agreed in principle, thatâs a positive sign,â He Ming reassured her, sensing there might be some underlying issues.
âOkay, Iâll make an effort to be respectful to her in the future. Hopefully, things will change after the baby is born,â Xiaomeng sighed. Despite her biases, she respected He Mingâs mother because, after all, she was his mother.
âThanks, Xiaomeng. But remember, just be yourself. Thereâs no need to go out of your way to please her and make yourself uncomfortable,â He Ming understood his motherâs personality well. She was kind-hearted but stubborn, and she needed to come to her own conclusions about things.
âAlright, Iâll keep that in mind. Now, letâs quickly find a place for the wedding shoot. I canât wait to take some beautiful pictures,â Xiaomeng said excitedly.
âAre you feeling up to it physically?â He Ming asked with concern.
âIâm fine.â
