Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife
Chapter 583 I Owe You Everything (1)Su Xiaofei gave her husband a look, as if she was silently asking him for permission to share the news with her mother. Indeed, she had gained a considerable weight this past week and with twins growing inside of her, she would show faster than those who were carrying singleton babies.
"A-Feng and I are expecting. Is it that obvious?" She said, as she failed to suppress the smile that spread on her face upon thinking of it. Just the thought that she would be able to become a mother this time filled her with immense happiness.
Yun Qingrong broke into a wide smile while Yan Mei lightly squealed before covering her mouth in surprise, excusing herself.
"You are glowing, darling." Her mother responded with teary eyes. "I can't help but notice."
"Congratulations, Feifei! This is really good news. It's been awhile since the last child birth in our Yun family. I can't wait to share this news with Father." Yan Mei said excitedly.
"Auntie Mei, A-Feng and I are hoping you keep this a secret for the time being, just until I get past the twelfth week mark." Su Xiaofei gave her aunt an apologetic smile.
Yun Qingrong frowned and held her daughter's hands.
"Why? Is there something wrong with you and the baby?" She asked worriedly. "But if that's what you really want, I guess we'll just wait for you to announce it to the rest of our family."
Her daughter had fallen pregnant just a few weeks after she moved to the Yun Mansion. Yun Qingrong was starting to wonder if she made the wrong choice of leaving her daughter's side. Had she known this would happen, she should have waited a little longer before deciding to move out.
"Babies, Mother." Lu Qingfeng corrected his mother-in-law. "Feifei and I are expecting twins." He said proudly.
"Twins?!" Yun Qingrong gasped. Had she heard her son-in-law right? "You're really having twins?"
She couldn't contain her happiness anymore and pulled her daughter into a tight hug. She was really relieved to know that Su Xiaofei wouldn't have to face the same criticisms she did when she couldn't conceive a child during her long marriage with her ex-husband.
"Oh, Feifei. I'm so happy for you and Xiao Feng. I can't wait to meet your children."
Su Xiaofei's heart clenched painfully, hearing her mother's words. She didn't have the heart to tell her mother her condition, fearing that it would only cause her distress. It hadn't been too long since Yun Qingrong was hospitalized and Su Xiaofei would rather wait and see if her condition would improve under Han Zijun's care.
She met Xi Qian's gaze and she knew right then that she had made the right choice of not telling her mother about her being poisoned. Seeing her mother happy like this, then delivering the bad news, would be heartless even for someone like her.
"You are already pregnant, are you sure you can still continue working?" Yun Qingrong asked once she and Yan Mei finally calmed down and took a seat, drinking their tea.
"Actually, Mother. I was planning to ask you about that." Lu Qingfeng took a seat next to his wife while Xi Qian sat across from them. "I'm hoping you can convince Feifei to take a maternal leave at some point before she gives birth to the twins."
This would also give Su Xiaofei a good excuse to step back from the limelight and focus on her pregnancy and treatments.
Su Xiaofei gave her husband's hand a tight squeeze before giving him a pointed look. She should have known that Lu Qingfeng would use this opportunity to convince her to stay at home and not work.
"Ah, then…" Yun Qingrong hesitated for a bit but Yan Mei assured her.
"It's alright, Sister Qing. I'm sure Father would understand." Yan Mei said. "Since Feifei is carrying twins, her pregnancy might be delicate."
"I just thought that I could spend more time with my father." Yun Qingrong sighed, but she also knew that her daughter would need some help as her pregnancy progressed.
"Mama, Qian is also taking care of me." Su Xiaofei tried to protest. "I'm pregnant, not invalid." She reminded them. She was starting to get annoyed with how everyone was treating her right now.
"But Feifei, Xiao Feng, you better allow us to visit you. I'm sure the rest of the family would like to be involved with this child-rearing."
"I have no qualms about that, Aunt Mei. I know Feifei would throw a fit at home once she starts getting bored of having nothing else to do." Lu Qingfeng easily agreed with her request, much to Yan Mei's delight.
Since Lu Qingfeng had already agreed, Su Xiaofei could only nod her assent. She still believed that she's capable of handling her usual workload, but understood her husband's worry very well. It was one thing for her to be pregnant, but being poisoned had totally thrown them for a loop.
However, if she allowed her mother to move back in and live with them again, it would be hard to hide his real condition from Yun Qingrong. Su Xiaofei would rather avoid that.
"Have you told your father yet? Mr. Qiao would surely be over the moon once he hears the news." Yan Mei asked.
Su Xiaofei's smile faltered. She might be able to hide her illness from her mother, but Qiao Fengying was a different one. Since their arrival in Shenjing, her father hadn't wasted any time to drop by to see her and Lu Qingfeng. He had noticed her paleness during his last visit and it had been hard for her and Lu Qingfeng to convince him not to call a doctor on call.
"We're planning to tell him tonight. Right, Feifei?" Lu Qingfeng gave her a meaningful look.
Su Xiaofei tried her best not to roll her eyes. It seemed that they wouldn't be able to stick with their original plan any longer.
