On the weekend, Su Yuze brought Su Rou to the Su family's old mansion. Su Rongqi was watering the flowers and plants outside the yard. When he saw Su Yuze's car drive in, he stopped his action and looked at them with a smile.
"You're here."
Su Yuze opened the car door and took out some things from the trunk. He handed them to Su Rongqi. Looking at these things, which were all very precious tonics, Su Rongqi blamed him slightly. "You always bring things when you come. I don't need them."
"Doesn't your rheumatism act up on rainy days? These are good for it."
"It's an old problem. It doesn't matter." Su Rongqi told the servant to carry the things into the house.
Su Yuze put his arm around Su Rou and slowly followed behind. "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" he asked softly. He seemed to have heard that pregnant women were in poor health. He wondered if it would be uncomfortable for her to come out.
"No... Don't I know my own body? Why are you so nervously overreacting?" She was the one who was pregnant. If she felt uncomfortable, she would say so herself.
"But you didn't even know you were pregnant." If they hadn't gone to the hospital for a diagnosis, would she not have noticed until her belly got big?
"Well... I just didn't notice, okay." Su Rou retorted.
"Okay, okay, it's my fault." Actually, he was also responsible. As the future husband, he should have paid attention to her physical condition. But he was really too busy last month, and neither of them had noticed.
Su Rou waved his hand away and walked ahead on her own. Seeing this, Su Yuze quickly stepped forward and took her hand. "Walk slowly."
Su Rongqi was opening the door. When he turned around, he saw Su Yuze carefully supporting Su Rou. He frowned slightly. "What's wrong, Xiaorou?"
"Huh?" Su Rou looked up at Su Rongqi.
"Xiaorou is pregnant." Su Yuze didn't think there was anything wrong with it. After all, they would be a family in the future.
Su Rongqi was obviously stunned. He looked at Su Rou for a while without saying a word. Looking at Su Rongqi's expression, Su Rou didn't know what to say for a moment. She didn't know what Su Rongqi meant.
After a while, Su Rongqi finally spoke. "Pregnant?"
"Yes." Su Yuze nodded.
"That's good news. Come in and sit down quickly." Su Rongqi greeted them. Of course, pregnancy was good news, especially for a child of the Su family. This time, Su Rou would truly become a member of the Su family.
Seeing that Su Rongqi didn't say anything else, Su Rou felt a little relieved. After all, she and Su Yuze weren't married yet. This was equivalent to having a child out of wedlock. With Su Rongqi's old - fashioned thinking, it was inevitable that he would have opinions.
Su Rou sat on the sofa and heard Su Rongqi tell the kitchen to prepare some food suitable for pregnant women. Pregnant women had many taboos, especially when it came to food. One couldn't be careless.
"Thank you, Grandpa." Su Rou said to Su Rongqi with a smile.
"We're a family. There's no need to thank me." Su Rongqi sat opposite Su Rou. "How many months are you? Why didn't you tell me at first?"
"Two months. We just found out the day before yesterday." Su Yuze said. "It was my negligence. I was too busy last month and didn't notice Xiaorou's physical condition."
Su Rongqi nodded. There were indeed too many things to do last month. "You have to be more careful in the future... By the way, you're not married yet, are you? It's not convenient for you to get married with Xiaorou in this condition." In two more months, Su Rou's belly would start to show, and it wouldn't look good in a wedding dress.
"Well, we can get married after the baby is born." Su Rou said. She and Su Yuze were already used to this kind of life. Actually, it didn't matter if they didn't get married.
"Okay." Su Rongqi nodded. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and said to Su Rou, "Xiaorou, do you want to take a walk in the backyard?"
Su Rou looked at Su Rongqi and Su Yuze, then nodded. "Okay."
Su Rongqi called a servant and asked her to take Su Rou out.
As soon as Su Rou left, Su Rongqi said, "Yuze, I know about your uncle's family, especially Meimei. What exactly happened?"
"Why don't you ask Aunt and Hongyu, Grandpa?" Su Yuze asked expressionlessly. "You know my bottom - line, Grandpa."
Su Rongqi knew Su Yuze's bottom - line very well, which was why he felt strange. Why did Su Meimei provoke him? "I heard that Meimei was sent to the psychiatric department..."
"Grandpa, you'd better not interfere." Su Yuze said.
"I can't interfere anymore." Su Yuze always knew how to handle things properly. The only thing that could anger him was something related to Su Rou. He knew Su Meimei's temper very well. "But you should at least let me know what happened, right?"
Actually, Liu Rulan and Su Hongyu had come to him and wanted him to help save Su Meimei. But because of what had happened with Su Kaiming and Su Yue before, he wouldn't express any opinion.
"To put it simply, Su Meimei wanted to use Xiaorou to take back the Su Group." Su Yuze sneered. Sometimes, one should know one's limits when doing things. If one wanted to take back the Su Group, they should rely on their own strength.
Su Rongqi frowned tightly. "I understand." Since that was the case, Su Rongqi had even less room to interfere. "Then, do as you see fit. I have no objections."
"Okay."
"Besides, I also have an idea about your second uncle's matter." Su Rongqi said. When Su Yue just returned to work, he also came to complain about Su Yuze.
Su Yuze had expected this. With Su Yue's temper, how could he not find a backer? "Grandpa, I'll handle all these things properly. I'll keep what should be kept."
Su Rongqi sighed softly. "Okay."
Because of Su Meimei's scandal, the entire Su family was a bit embarrassed. Even Su Rongqi couldn't bear to look. But could they blame Su Yuze? Of course not. If Su Yuze hadn't stopped it in time, it might have been Su Rou who caused the scandal.
Accompanied by the servant, Su Rou took a walk outside for more than an hour until Su Yuze came out. "You can go."
"What did you and Grandpa talk about?" Su Rou knew that Su Rongqi deliberately sent her away to talk to Su Yuze. "What can't I hear?" It seemed that Grandpa still disliked her a bit.
"Nothing. It's just some private matters. It has nothing to do with you." Su Yuze stroked her head to comfort her. "Grandpa has no objections to you."
"..." Su Rou glanced at him. "Okay."
"Let's go. Are you hungry? It's time for dinner."
"I'm not very hungry. I don't seem to have much of an appetite." Su Rou touched her belly. She didn't seem very hungry.
"You should eat something."
"Okay..." Su Rou looked very reluctant. "I want to eat ice cream."
Su Yuze took her little hand and led her into the house. "I'll buy it for you when we get back later."
