Xia Liqin wanted to open his mouth and deny everything they were saying but his parents continued to bombard him with questions.

"Son, when did you start dating her? Did you marry her behind our back just like your sister? How old is your child? How many more babies are you keeping from us?" Lu Xian Yu held his shoulders and was shaking him like crazy that made the boy dizzy. He suddenly felt his spirit leaving his body just to escape his parent's nonstop questions.

​​

Wei Sianqi gulped nervously when she received Li Bingbing's intense stare. Xia Liqin's mother was so beautiful but she looked so scary especially with her sharp gaze. She inhaled deeply to gather her courage to speak up. "W-we are not married...I am just Mr. Xia's girlfriend, sir." she clarified.

Xia Liqin turned to her with a deep frown. She just made things worse now. He was about to deny what she just said but before he could even say another word, Lu Xian Yu continued to scold him. "What?! You didn't marry her after making her pregnant?! Xia Liqin, I thought you were better than this! You have to man up and take responsibility!!"

Li Bingbing approached her, the seriousness on her face only made the poor girl tremble. "What is your name?"

She felt like a small animal who was about to be cornered by a predator. Wei Sianqi has seen a familiar scene in movies. This was where the male lead's parents started questioning the female lead about her background and would try to separate them once they learned that the female lead had no use for them. No! She couldn't allow them to separate her from her beloved Xia Liqin!

She straightened her back and raised her chin proudly as she looked back at Li Bingbing. She shouldn't show any weakness at all or else they would never accept her as their daughter-in-law! She opened her mouth and began introducing herself to them, "My name is Wei Sianqi. I am a graduate of Sizhong High. I have recently been accepted into BSU with a sports scholarship. My goal in life is to be one of the best Libero in volleyball. My parents' names are Yong Liwei and Lu Mengjie. My hobbies are-"

"W-wait, wait." Lu Xian Yu interrupted her. "What's your parents' names again?"

She blinked a few times as she looked at him. It was then that she remembered that they were Lu Mengjie's parents too. "I mean… I am their adopted daughter," she clarified.

The older man couldn't help but sigh in relief when he heard the word 'adopted'. For a second there, he felt like he was about to have a heart attack.

Li Bingbing shot her dagger-like gaze at her son. "From the looks of it, the baby should be around 8 or 9 months old… Xia Liqin! How dare you impregnate a high school student?!!"

Xia Liqin's brow twitched. He finally snapped when he raised his voice and shouted, "HE IS NOT MY SON!! He is Jiejie's son!!"

"He is my baby brother, ma'am, sir," Wei Sianqi added.

"Oh, I see." Lu Xian Yu was rather calm. "They adopted you two?"

"No, he is Yong Liwei and jiejie's REAL son!" Xia Liqin was losing his cool because of his crazy parents. "He is your legitimate grandson!"

"M-Mengmeng's s-son?" This time, Lu Xian Yu ended up fainting upon hearing the sudden revelation. It was a good thing that Xia Liqin was standing close to him.

"Dad?" The boy caught his stepfather in his arms. "Dad?"

On the other hand, Li Bingbing was rather calm this time since she recalled that her daughter had already informed her of the baby back in Japan. "Ah… oh yeah, I almost forgot that Mengmeng has a son."

"Guu!" Little Peanut was looking at them with his adorable big eyes. He was closing and opening his hands as if it was his way of greeting them.

In an instant, Li Bingbing's face brightened up. "Aww! I have an adorable grandson!" It was as if she turned to another person as she took Little Peanut from Wei Sianqi and carried him in her arms.

"You look even cuter than the last time I saw you from the photos my daughter showed!" She nuzzled his nose which caused the baby to giggle a lot.

"Uun Ngn!" Little Peanut squealed happily as he enjoyed being carried by his grandmother.

Meanwhile, Xia Liqin placed the unconscious Lu Xian Yu on the sofa. "What about dad? I'm pretty sure that he'll kill Yong Liwei once he wakes up."

"Don't worry, I'll handle him," his mother reassured. She turned to Wei Sianqi and smirked, "you're my son's girlfriend, correct?"

This time, Xia Liqin was able to say something before Wei Sianqi could even open her mouth. "She is not my girlfriend!"

Wei Sianqi ended up pouting as she looked at Xia Liqin who didn't even hesitate in denying their relationship. "But you promised me earlier that you will date me for 3 months, Mr. Xia."

Li Bingbing eyed his son, raising a brow. After hearing what they said. It was not hard to conclude that the youngsters' relationship was because of some kind of agreement they had with each other. She turned to the young girl and smiled gently. "Do take care of my son. I'm glad that he is having a life now."

"Don't worry, ma'am! I'll take good care of your son!" She was smiling from one ear to the other. She was glad that her mother-in-law was accepting her as her son's girlfriend.

Xia Liqin heaved out a sigh. He massaged the bridge of his nose. Just like his sister, it was pointless to argue with his mother. No matter what he would say, he was sure that she would just twist it into whatever she wanted it to be.

"Anyway, where is Mengmeng?"

"About that." Another sigh escaped Xia Liqin's mouth. "She is in the hospital right now."

A crease formed on her forehead as she echoed, "hospital? What do you mean she's in the hospital?"

"Don't worry, she's not injured," he quickly added just so his mother won't start running scenes in her mind again. "She was with her husband. They were ambushed by people who were after Yong Liwei." At least that was what he believed. "We were able to take care of the situation but someone has to take care of this guy since Jiejie will be in the hospital to accompany her husband."
