Chapter 419 Let's Marry In
"child?"
Xu Tingfeng was dumbfounded: "What child?"
Upon seeing Xu Qingrang and Xu Fangye, both of them lowered their eyes and remained silent, showing no surprise on their faces.
Xu Tingfeng's eyes widened in surprise, and he almost jumped up in anger.
"You, you mean you've already...?"
Fang Li pursed her lips and remained silent, but gently placed her hand on her lower abdomen.
Xu Tingfeng forced back the anger that was rising in his throat, his face turning red from the effort.
"Guobao, are you really... pregnant?"
Fang Yun also frowned, looking at her daughter with a hint of worry.
Fang Li's heart trembled, but she lowered her eyes and nodded seriously.
Now, Xu Tingfeng couldn't bring himself to say anything about divorce. He sat silently on the opposite sofa with a dark face, scratching his knees in frustration.
Fang Yun: "How long has it been?"
Fang Li said timidly, "It's been over a month, and I just discovered it."
"More than a month?" Xu Qingrang asked in confusion, "Didn't you say more than two months a couple of days ago?"
Fang Li panicked and almost gave herself away.
He quickly explained, "I miscalculated; there's still a week left until two months."
"..." Xu Qing glanced at Fang Li with sharp eyes, but didn't say anything more.
Fang Yun stood up, walked over, and sat down next to Fang Li: "Do the Han family know you're pregnant?"
Fang Li shook her head: "Han Xi and I don't plan to tell you now, they don't know either."
"Don't tell them yet! Now that I'm pregnant, we need to rethink things."
Xu Tingfeng suddenly spoke up: "When that Han family boy arrives in a little while, we can ask him. If he's willing to marry into the family, then the marriage can continue. If he's not, our Xu family isn't short of money to raise a child!"
"Bring-in-law?"
Not only Fang Li, but even Xu Fangye was taken aback.
"Dad, Han Xi is the head of the Han family, isn't it inappropriate for him to marry into the family?"
He glanced at Fang Li, a lazy smile playing on his lips, and said, "Besides, our Xu family isn't short of sons, so why would we need someone else to marry into our family?"
"You think I wanted this!"
Xu Tingfeng glared angrily at Fang Li, then quickly lowered his head as if he had done something wrong.
"If you hadn't failed to take good care of your sister, we wouldn't be in such a passive position now. At this point, there's only one way out. If that brat from the Han family isn't willing, then let him get as far away from us as possible!"
-
Han Xi had just settled Han Guodong and the others out of the hotel when he received a call from Xu Fangye.
"Brother-in-law, you're finished."
One sentence made Han Xi frown.
Xu Fangye: "My parents know that my sister is pregnant, but because of all the messy things in your family, they are determined not to let my sister marry into that family. They insist on dragging my sister to go through the divorce proceedings with you."
"Oh, by the way, my dad said it's fine if you don't get a divorce, as long as you're willing to marry into the Xu family and become their son-in-law. He can keep your marriage on hold."
"Okay, I agree."
Those four words left Xu Fangye completely stunned, frozen in place.
"What did you say?"
Han Xi's deep voice came from the other end of the phone, and because it was on speakerphone, everyone in the living room could hear it clearly.
Han Xi repeated, "I said, I agree to him marrying into the family."
".......you?"
Xu Fangye didn't know how to respond for the first time, and looked at his parents somewhat helplessly.
Xu Tingfeng was also surprised, not expecting that the kid would actually agree.
The living room was quiet when Han Xi's voice came again: "Grandpa, Uncle and Aunt."
This surprised Xu Tingfeng even more.
Did he know they were there too?
The three looked at each other, then at the cell phone on the coffee table.
"Although Han Shiyu's actions were her own, she is, after all, surnamed Han. It was my fault for not restraining her properly, which led her to hurt Ali. I will take full responsibility for this matter. Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation soon."
Fang Li looked at her phone with slightly sore eyes.
Han Xi continued, "Our family is indeed quite complicated. Ever since I returned to China and took over the Han family, I have been working to clean up the entire family. But my father and uncles are the founders of the Han family after all. It may take me a while to completely eradicate their roots."
"But I promise that from now on I will not let anyone from the Han family hurt Ali again. If you are worried and need me to marry into the family, that's fine too. I can issue a statement about marrying into the family tomorrow. But I will absolutely not divorce Ali."
Han Xi's firm voice stopped, and the Xu family also fell completely silent.
Fang Yun looked at her husband and sighed helplessly.
“Xiujin, your uncle was just joking with you about you marrying into his family. You are a good child. We know about your relationship with Guobao, especially since Guobao is pregnant now. As elders, we can't really force you to separate.”
Seeing her husband anxiously trying to signal to her, Fang Yun ignored him and continued, "How about this, you take care of your family matters first, and once everything is settled, we can discuss your marriage with Guo Bao properly."
"..." Han Xi stood at the hotel entrance, holding his phone, his expression cold and austere.
"We won't stop you from meeting Guo Bao, but Guo Bao can't go back to Beijing for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Fang Li grabbed her mother's hand in surprise: "Mom, I still have company matters to attend to, how can I not go back!"
"good."
Fang Yun pressed her hand down and said to Han Xi on the other end of the phone, "Don't tell your family that Guo Bao is pregnant for now. You'll have to deal with family matters and won't be able to take good care of her. It just so happens that her father and I are planning to come back to set up a new dance studio and will be in China for the time being. We'll take care of Guo Bao."
Fang Yun's voice sounded gentle, yet carried an undeniable coldness.
Han Xi listened, his grip on the phone tightening slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything, only uttering one word.
"it is good."
-
The news of Fang Li's pregnancy spread throughout the Xu family in just one afternoon.
Xu Qingrang knew this beforehand, but worried that Fang Li's parents wouldn't be able to accept the news, so he kept it a secret.
Now that everyone in the family knows, there's no point in keeping it a secret anymore, and all the family's caution and worry are on full display.
"No, this carpet is still too thin. Go get a thicker one and make sure to cover every part of the house."
"Qingfeng, go and tell all the servants to be careful when they work, and to be extra careful when preparing meals in the kitchen. Anything that a pregnant woman shouldn't touch must be avoided."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Hey! How could this thing be here! Someone, move it away, move it away!"
"You all go and pick up all the pebbles in the yard. Oh, and there are steps to the backyard corridor, remember to cover up the edges and corners."
"Shouldn't we prepare a nursery?!"
"Yes, yes, Ono, hurry up and contact the design team and the renovation team!"
Watching her family members bustling about, Fang Li sat alone on the sofa, helplessly holding her phone and sending a message to Han Xi.
"When are you coming to pick me up? If this keeps up, we'll be exposed sooner or later!"
Han Xi was in the car, and replied with a slight smile, "Don't be afraid, it'll be quick."
