Ruofei's POV:
~Time skip~ Next morning
I woke up to a familiar warmth next to me. Wenli stayed by my side the whole night, making sure I felt safe.
Noticing he was sleeping without any cover on him, I gently covered him with the blanket that was lying on the armchair.
Quietly, I left the room. Since Wenli cooked the dinner yesterday, I decided it would be only fair if I made breakfast.
While preparing breakfast, I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders. I turned around only to see Wenli smiling.
"It's hard to wake up early but it's worth it. I even see an angel in front of me," he said, hugging me tightly. I chuckled.
"Morning." "Hmm," he replied, and let me go so I can finish cooking breakfast. "Could you please prepare the table?" "Sure."
After preparing the table, we ate breakfast. I called my parents and told them we will be coming around 9 o'clock. Wenli took care of the dishes and I went to switch from my pajamas.
Since I found out that I am pregnant, I started wearing warmer clothes. My outfit for today is a black turtleneck and dark gray trousers.
Tying my hair into a ponytail, I walk down the stairs. Wenli is already waiting for me downstairs, impatiently looking at his watch.
"Let's go." He says, already turning around to open the door. "Someone's excited," I laugh, following him out from the house.
"Of course! I haven't seen auntie for a long time. I am sure she misses me as well," He replies, his eyes lightened at the thought.
"Sometimes I wonder, who's her real son." I mumble, pretending to be angry. He bursts out laughing and my mood changes instantly.
"What! I'm telling the truth. Each time you come, I feel like a ghost." He grins, looking pleased that I am jealous of him.
"Still better than being bombarded by questions." I sigh, knowing it's true. Due to being busy most of the time, I don't visit my parents often.
We entered the car and Andy drove us to my parents place. Wenli couldn't stop talking of hoe excited he is to see them after such a long time but I didn't pay his so much attention.
I had strange dream last night. If it was a dream, of course. It looked more like my memories, but I am not sure.
As I was about to think about it more, Wenli tapped my shoulder. "We are here, soulmate." I look out of the window and smile at the familiar sight.
We get out of the car and walk towards the mansion. The door opens and we walk inside.
I look around and smile when I see a woman walking towards me. My mum. This woman is the reason I am here and also my dad's favorite person on the earth.
"Look who decided to bless us with their presence,"she says, smiling at us. "Come on, mum. I was here recently. You can't be angry at me."
She sighs but after turning to Wenli, smiles. "Look at my little angel. How are you doing dear? Do you want to drink something?"
Wenli just smiles awkwardly as he hugs her. This is the same person who told me he loves her questioning.
"Oh, by the way, auntie. Ruofei has something to tell you and uncle," he says and grins after seeing my face. Little angel my ass. More like little devil.
"That can definitely wait. But I think Wenlan and dad can't wait any longer." Mum nods and takes our hands. "Let's go."
We enter the dining room and find my dad and Wenlan playing mahjong. I smile as I come closer and notice that my brother is losing.
"You're losing, Wenlan. How about you move a little so I can finish the game for you?"
Dad looks at me smiling. "Give him a chance, Ruofei. It's not completely lost."
Wenlan makes his move and I sigh. "It is now." Dad adds and looks at me. "Want to play a game?" I shake my head. "Not now. Maybe later?"
He nods in approval and notices Wenli, who is now talking in Korean about everything that happened recently to him and his family (that jerk Chenyu alias his husband counted as well).
My mum is smiling as she listen and asks him a few questions about her sister in the same language.
Ever since she left Korea so she could rule the Mafia with dad, she didn't visit her sister very often. Each time someone mentions her, pain covers her face and her expression hardens.
Thankfully, Wenli sends her messages about their latest endeavors so she stays informed all the time.
Dad smiles as he listens to their conversation. Wenli soon notices our stares and pauses. "Are we... Disturbing you?"
My father shakes his head. "Not at all, Wenli. I am glad to see you again." Wenli smiles at his words and turns his gaze to me as if asking if I want to tell them already. I shake my head.
I don't think they are prepared for the news and - more importantly - I don't want them to kill Qingyue. They always liked him but I don't think neither dad or mum could stop their impulses if they learned the truth right now.
Dad suddenly stands up from his seat and grabs my hand. I look at him, shocked. "Ruofei, son. Is everything okay? You look pale."
Everyone's attention moves to me and I freeze. Wenli walks towards me and takes my other hand in his.
"Could we... Talk about this somewhat else?" Dad nods and mum walks towards him and wraps her hands around his waist. Wenlan stands up with a questioning look. "How about the library?"
"I think that's a good idea." Wenli says and smiles. "Lead the way, cousin."
I look at Wenli as if asking why did he agree with my brother. He only winks and that's when I remember.
My dad is obsessed with books and made this rule that no one can shout in his library. Yes, we can talk, but if we start shouting? Things won't turn good.
We walk towards the library and I hold Wenli's hand tighter. He looks at me and smiles, reassuring me that nothing bad will happen.
As I am about to ask, how come he is so sure, Wenlan opens the library door. We all walk towards the table in the middle of it. Everyone sits down on the chair except of me and Wenli.
Mum gives us a questioning look. "So... What is the thing Wenli mentioned you wanted to tell us?"
I take a deep breath and say the words that will either make them happy or make them go onto a killing spree.
"I am pregnant."
