Chapter 248: Uncle, I like Lingyu and I Want to Marry her

Translator: Lonelytree

Yan Siming was quite surprised. He really didn’t expect that Xiao Lingyu would tell her parents that she didn’t sleep with him!

Normally, in this situation, a girl would just blame it on the man, right? Plus, he was rich, powerful, and handsome. In addition, he had made it clear that he wanted her as his woman. She could have easily married into the Yan Family with the child. However, Xiao Lingyu did not do all that.

She had a clear distinction between right and wrong. She never had any wishful thinking. She never wanted to depend on a man.

Previously, Yan Siming had been using Xiao Lingyu’s possible ulterior motive to avoid the fact that he had feelings for Xiao Lingyu. But at this moment, he had nothing to worry about anymore.

So what if Xiao Lingyu was pregnant? Her heart was pure and untainted. She would be a good wife for any man.

While Yan Siming was thinking, Xiao Zhengyang continued to speak, “Old Master Yan, Siming was only helping my daughter out of kindness and righteousness. He insinuated that he had slept with my daughter. However, that is not the truth. My daughter has told my wife and me the actual truth.” At this point, Xiao Zhengyang asked with some doubt, “Old Master Yan, I wonder where you heard this from…”

“Oh.” Old Master Yan nodded and looked at Yan Ruyu.

Yan Ruyu looked ashamed. She had misunderstood her eldest cousin. She didn’t expect him to be such a righteous man. He was willing to sacrifice his reputation to help Xiao Lingyu.

Yan Ruyu said, “Uncle, it’s like this. My brother and I went around the village to enjoy the beautiful scenery. But, we heard the villagers discussing that my brother was the man who slept with Lingyu. Lingyu is six months pregnant, so he has to take responsibility.

“I asked my brother about it, but he didn’t want to tell me anything. I went back to confirm with the villagers. They told me that Lingyu was pregnant with my brother’s child. I was mad that my brother didn’t want to take responsibility. At that moment, I ran into Grandpa.

“I assumed he was here because my brother had called him to propose a marriage to the Xiao Family, so…” The rest was history.

“Oh?” Xiao Zhengyang widened his eyes in surprise. The pregnancy happened so long ago, and they had been so busy lately that they forgot about this.

Xiao Lingyu had confessed to them that the person who slept with her was an unknown man, and Yan Siming was merely a guy she pulled off the roadside.

They owed Yan Siming a lot of favors. They would repay him. He didn’t expect the villagers would have such a deep impression of Yan Siming.

Yan Siming looked at Xiao Zhengyang very seriously and said, “Uncle, I like Lingyu. I want to marry her!”

“PFFT!” Old Master Yan drank a mouthful of water and immediately spat it out. “Cough cough…”

“Old Master, are you alright?” Butler Li asked with concern. He went forward to pat Old Master Yan on the back.

“Grandpa, are you okay?” Yan Ruyu asked with concern.

Yan Ruyu was also shocked that Yan Siming was really going to marry Xiao Lingyu. If this was a misunderstanding, then her eldest cousin didn’t need to take any responsibility. But suddenly, he professed he wanted to marry Xiao Lingyu.

After Yan Zheng stopped coughing, his sharp eyes stared at his eldest grandson and said, “You rascal, are you serious?”

Yan Siming replied very seriously, “Grandfather, of course, I’m serious. I’ve liked Xiao Lingyu since I met her half a year ago. You know I’ve met many women, but she’s the only one who has touched my heart. So, grandfather, I want to marry Lingyu!”

Yan Zheng, “…”

Xiao Zhengyang, “…”

So the misunderstanding was not really a misunderstanding?

Yan Zheng had never met the girl before, but she must be a wonderful person to make his philandering grandson fall in love with her. Even though the Yan Family didn’t mind the person’s background when it came to marriage, the person at least had to be pure and clean.

Xiao Lingyu was pregnant with an unknown man’s child. That was not going to fly. This was a matter that concerned the Yan family’s face.

Yan Zheng coughed twice again to remind Yan Siming that he would not allow this.

Yan Siming didn’t care at all. He just stared at Xiao Zhengyang seriously.

Xiao Zhengyang looked at Old Master Yan. Although Old Master Yan had his head down and seemed to be drinking tea calmly, Father Xiao noticed the disapproval on his face.

Xiao Zhengyang sighed slightly.

Yan Siming might be a good person, but he wasn’t suitable to be the husband of his daughter.

Xiao Zhengyang said, “Siming, I really can’t make the decision on this matter. Our family is very grateful for your good intentions. However, both parties have to be compatible for a marriage to be good.”

Yan Siming immediately said, “Uncle, I’ll definitely treat Lingyu well.”

Chen Qiuying, who was listening by the side, said, “Siming, you’re a good child and a good person. Meeting you is also my daughter’s good fortune and our family’s good fortune. When my daughter is in need, you generously help her.

“If Lingyu is willing to marry you, she’ll be lucky too.

“However, I know my daughter very well. Ever since she was young, she had always been very independent and stubborn. As long as she sets her mind on one thing, there is no changing her mind.”

Hearing this, Yan Zheng’s eyes flashed, and he calmly sipped his tea.

Mother Xiao continued, “How about this. I’ll wake Yu ‘Er up and ask for her opinion. What do you think?”

Her words seemed to be directed at Yan Siming, but in fact, she was following Old Master Yan’s opinion.

Old Master Yan put down his teacup and said with a smile, “Haha, Mother Xiao, this old man wants to meet your daughter. Is she a fairy from heaven? How could she make my philandering grandson fall for her?”

Mother Xiao smiled and said, “Alright, Old Master. Please wait a moment.” Mother Xiao stood up and walked towards Xiao Lingyu’s room. She raised her hand and was about to knock on the door when the door opened.

Mother Xiao immediately pulled Xiao Lingyu back into her room.

Xiao Lingyu asked, “Mother, what’s wrong?”

Mother Xiao’s expression was slightly serious as she said, “Yu ‘Er, Siming’s grandfather wants to meet you.”

Xiao Lingyu asked in confusion, “Meet me? Why?”

Mother Xiao sighed and said, “Yan Siming just said that he wants to marry you!”

Xiao Lingyu immediately understood. Yan Siming’s grandfather was there to appraise her.

Xiao Lingyu frowned in dissatisfaction.

She didn’t even want to marry Yan Siming.

Mother Xiao reminded her softly, “Yu ‘Er, Grandfather Yan clearly doesn’t approve of this. Be careful.”

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Okay, I understand.”

The mother and daughter went out.

Old Master Yan saw the girl who was pregnant and wearing a white dress. He knew that this girl was the person his grandson wanted to marry.

This girl looked very cultured and beautiful. She had an aura that was very demure. Old Master Yan believed his family would love her.

Moreover, this child was also a famous university student who had worked in a large enterprise in City Z for a few years. The Yan family would be satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

Unfortunately, the girl was already pregnant with someone else’s child. She looked to be about six months pregnant. She couldn’t opt for abortion without harming her body. Plus, it didn’t seem like she wanted to have an abortion in the first place.

If Xiao Lingyu was willing to take an abortion, Old Master Yan could still accept her to be his granddaughter-in-law. Old Master Yan was willing to make that compromise.

However, just like what he had thought, Xiao Lingyu would have aborted the child if she wanted to when she was only several weeks pregnant. She would not have kept the child until now when her belly was so big.

Xiao Lingyu walked up to Yan Zheng and greeted him politely, “Hello, Old Master Yan.”

Old Master Yan nodded. Then, he glanced at Xiao Lingyu’s belly and asked, “Little girl, how many months pregnant are you?”

Xiao Lingyu touched her stomach and smiled, “Old Master, it’s almost six months.”

Yan Zheng noticed the gentle motherly love on Xiao Lingyu’s face and sighed in his heart. ‘The girl really loves her child. It’ll be difficult to ask her to abort it.’

However, since his grandson favored her, he still needed to ask. And he did, “Girl, my brat likes you and wants to marry you. What do you think?”

Xiao Lingyu widened her eyes in shock and asked in confusion, “Yan Siming likes me? What kind of joke is this? Didn’t he say that I’m a conceited ugly duckling? There’s no way he likes me.”

Everyone, “….”

Yan Siming, “…”

The corners of Yan Siming’s mouth twitched.

‘This woman…. Even if she wants to reject me, there’s no need to use my previous words as an excuse.’
