Chapter 244: Slander and Trap

Translator: Lonelytree

After lunch, Mother Xiao and Father Xiao had to leave. There were too many guests at the strawberry field, so they went straight to the strawberry field and left Xiao Lingyu to accompany the guests.

Old Master Gong was in high spirits. He kept staring at Xiao Lingyu’s stomach.

Xiao Lingyu naturally noticed this. Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly and asked with slight doubt, “Old Master, is there something wrong with my stomach?”

“Cough cough…” Gong Tianhao coughed twice to remind his grandfather, just in case he was too careless.

The old master ignored his little brat. He said with a smile, “There’s no problem. It’s just that I have never touched your stomach before.”

Everyone, “…”

What is going on?

Xiao Lingyu, “…”

She felt that the old master was acting strangely that day.

However, the old man had such a request, and Xiao Lingyu could not refuse. After all, she knew very well that the child in her stomach was related to the old master by blood.

However, if Gong Tianhao had such a request, she would definitely reject it. She did not want to have too much contact with Gong Tianhao.

Xiao Lingyu nodded her head silently.

Old Master Gong was as excited as a child. He walked up to Xiao Lingyu and extended his wrinkled and old hand, carefully touching Xiao Lingyu’s stomach.

Old Master Gong suddenly looked a little frightened and nervous. When the others saw this, they immediately asked with concern, “Old Master, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

“Haha, it moved, it moved.” At this moment, Old Master Gong suddenly burst into laughter. His expression was surprised and excited. “The child moved.” Old master Gong was extremely excited because of the fetal movement.

“Haha, the child is kicking me non-stop.” Old Master Gong placed his hand on Xiao Lingyu’s stomach and felt the movement of the child’s kicks. His expression was filled with uncontrollable joy, “The child is kicking me. It must be a boy, so naughty!”

Xiao Tong was a boy in her previous life. Xiao Lingyu knew that better than anyone.

When Gong Tianhao heard his grandfather’s words, he could not help but show some excitement on his face.

He also wanted to feel the baby’s movements.

When Yan Siming saw the excitement on the old man’s face, he showed a complicated expression. Everyone knew that the child had an unknown father, so why was the Old Master acting like this? Of course, Yan Siming couldn’t talk about this openly.

He couldn’t bear to look at it, so he turned his head to the other side. He happened to look at Gong Tianhao. Then, he was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

‘Is there something wrong with Gong Tianhao’s head? He wants to pursue Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu is pregnant with another man’s child, but Gong Tianhao doesn’t look unhappy. In fact, he is smiling so brightly!’

Yan Siming really did not understand Gong Tianhao.

Of course, he did not need to understand Gong Tianhao.

The only thing that worried him was Xiao Lingyu. This was the first time he felt his heart melt for a woman. Therefore, he had to win her over.

However, Xiao Lingyu was not greedy for money or power. She was extremely against being his lover. But if he were to marry her, the child in her stomach would become a hindrance.

Just as he was about to convince Xiao Lingyu to give up on the child and consider marrying him, his greatest love rival appeared. And from the looks of it, he seemed to like Xiao Lingyu very much.

But why? Could it be that Gong Tianhao actually didn’t have the ability to impregnate a woman, so he turned his gaze to Xiao Lingyu and wanted to be an instant father?

Old Master Gong would know about his grandson’s situation. So when he heard that his eldest grandson was pursuing Xiao Lingyu, he treated the child in Xiao Lingyu’s stomach as his own grandson? It would explain why he was so excited and happy now.

The more Yan Siming thought about it, the more he felt that this was a possibility.

He looked at Gong Tianhao with pity and contempt.

Gong Tianhao’s sharp eyes looked at Yan Siming. When he saw his expression, he was a little confused, and his eyes immediately narrowed.

‘What is wrong with Yan Siming? Why is he looking at me with pity in his eyes?’

Then, Gong Tianhao placed himself in Yan Siming’s shoes and started to make the connection.

‘This Yan Siming has a rich imagination. Does he think I’m infertile and sympathize with me? If that’s true, how did Xiao Lingyu get pregnant?’

Gong Tianhao quickly calmed himself down. He shouldn’t be distracted from the main problem.

Even Yan Siming could sense something was wrong, much less Xiao Lingyu.

Thinking of this, Gong Tianhao sighed lightly. He felt it would be a long and arduous journey to chase after his wife.

“Eh, this little fellow kicked me again.” Old Master Gong’s excited and happy voice could still be heard from the courtyard. “Girl, this child is so mischievous. He must be a boy.”

Xiao Lingyu rubbed her belly and suddenly asked with a smile, “Old Master, do you like boys very much?”

“Of course…”

“Cough cough…”

Old Master Gong immediately replied, “Of course not. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, I like children. The one in your stomach is so mischievous, so it might be a boy. Lingyu, does the child give you any trouble?”

Xiao Lingyu shook her head and said with a smile, “Not really. He’s very obedient. Other than drowsiness and a huge appetite, I don’t have any unpleasant reactions like vomiting or dizziness.”

As she said this, she exuded a motherly radiance, gentle and loving. It was like a boundless white light that gently wrapped around her, causing the others to be stunned.

She was too beautiful!

Even Gong Tianhao and Yan Siming, who had seen women more beautiful than Xiao Lingyu, were captivated. There was no woman prettier than a mother.

At this moment, Gong Tianhao could hear his own heartbeat.

He knew that his heart was really moved. It was not because of the child but because of the child’s mother.

As for Yan Siming, he once again heard the sound of his heart beating faster. He couldn’t lie to himself anymore. He was attracted to Xiao Lingyu.

Yan Siming felt that he was being ridiculous. Xiao Lingyu was incomparable to the women he had slept with. Most importantly, Xiao Lingyu was pregnant with a child. Yan Siming felt like he had been charmed.

Yan Ruyu could not help but say, “Lingyu, you’re so beautiful!”

Her beauty was not just on the outside, but there was a kind of beauty that radiated from the inside.

Xiao Lingyu heard Yan Ruyu’s words and raised her head. To her surprise, she realized that everyone was looking at her in shock. This made her extremely puzzled.

She asked, “What’s wrong with you guys? Is there something wrong with me?”

Everyone shook their heads in unison. “There’s nothing wrong!”

“…” Xiao Lingyu was a little speechless as she asked, “Then why are all of you looking at me like that?”

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, “We are looking at a mother’s magnificent radiance, dazzling and holy! Let me touch your stomach too!”

Xiao Lingyu, “…” Am I some kind of holy relic?

Old Master Gong refused to let go of her belly.

Xiao Lingyu yawned. It was obvious that she wanted to sleep again.

When Gong Tianhao noticed this, he immediately reminded Old Master Gong, “Grandfather, Lingyu needs to rest.”

Old Master Gong raised his head and noticed Xiao Lingyu yawning. Grandfather Gong reluctantly let go of his hand and said, “Lingyu, are you sleepy?”

Xiao Lingyu yawned and said, “I feel sleepy even after sleeping all day.”

Old Master Gong said, “You should go back to your room to sleep. It’ll be quieter. I should go back to my place too. Hao ‘Er, help me back.”

“Yes, grandfather!”

Yan Ruyu said, “Ling Yu, I still want to visit the beautiful scenery of Taoyuan Village. Brother, come with me. Of course, I can accompany you to the strawberry field to pick strawberries.”

Yan Siming said, “I’ll go with you to take a look around the village.” He wanted to see what kind of beautiful village had cultivated Xiao Lingyu.

Everyone waited for Xiao Lingyu to return to her room to rest before leaving.

When the last person left, he closed the courtyard door.

It was broad daylight, and there were people at home. There was no need to lock it.

After Gong Tianhao helped his grandfather back home, he grumbled, “Grandfather, you gave yourself away a few times. Xiao Lingyu almost found out.”

Old Master Gong snorted coldly at Gong Tianhao, “This is all your fault. That’s your wife, but we still have to be so careful around her. I’m so excited, but I can’t even show it.”

Gong Tianhao said helplessly, “Grandfather, I’m trying hard already. I admit that I was careless before, and that’s why I only know that someone is pregnant with my child now.”

Old Master Gong said unhappily, “I don’t care. I just want my granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson.”

Saying this, he paused for a moment and turned to urge Gong Tianhao, “Gong Tianhao, you have to hurry up. I’ve been looking at Xiao Yan, and his eyes have been fixed on Lingyu. Does he have feelings for Lingyu as well?”

Gong Tianhao thought for a moment before saying, “Yan Siming once did Xiao Lingyu and the entire Xiao family a favor. I heard that he helped Xiao Lingyu because he wanted Xiao Lingyu to be his lover.”

Gong Tianhao was merciless. Gong Tianhao used slander, and it was very effective!

Of course, Gong Tianhao’s other goal was to let Old Master Gong know that someone was going after his granddaughter-in-law. Old Master Gong would definitely help him chase this love rival away.

Gong Tianhao was just that cunning. He’d stab you in the back when you were not looking.

“What?” When Grandfather Gong heard what Gong Tianhao said, he immediately jumped up and said, “Are you sure?”

Gong Tianhao faked sadness and said, “Grandfather, I heard it with my ears.”

Well, technically, he had added some exaggerations here and there.

Old Master Gong huffed. “The kid looks decent. I have no idea he is so despicable. Lingyu is such a good girl. He should have married her and not asked her to be his mistress!”

“Grandfather!” Gong Tianhao was dissatisfied with his grandfather’s response.

Xiao Lingyu was his wife. How could he let Yan Siming marry her?

Old Master Gong glared at his grandson and said sternly, “Why are you shouting? I’m only telling the truth. Lingyu can only be someone’s wife and not a nameless mistress.

“No, I have to talk to Ol’ Yan about this so that he can educate his grandson.”

After saying that, Old Master Gong wanted to give Ol’ Yan a call.

Gong Tianhao stopped him. “Grandfather, Old Master Yan might come over later today. When he is here, you should have him lecture Yan Siming in person.”

And…. the trap is set!
