Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 740 - 733: Seeking a Sense of Presence (Part 7)
Qi Hui suddenly said she had something to announce, and everyone’s gaze focused on her again. She put down her bowl and chopsticks, eyes shimmering, a smile lingering on her lips as if hesitant to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Leng Liewei asked, but he didn’t pay much attention as he was still teasing Xiao Xi in his arms.
Qi Hui frowned deeply, but then, thinking of what she was about to say, relaxed and looked at Leng Liewei with heavy anticipation.
"Old Leng, you’re going to be a dad..."
"Oh." Leng Liewei responded casually, but then it seemed he realized something, his big hand trembled and he nearly dropped Xiao Xi.
Bai Yiran was startled, Leng Yichen also frowned. Sister Liu quickly took Xiao Xi back from Leng Liewei after seeing this.
Leng Liewei gave an apologetic look to Leng Yichen and Bai Yiran, then looked at Qi Hui in shock, "What did you just say?"
Qi Hui looked shy, "You’re going to be a dad, I’m pregnant!"
"Pregnant?" Leng Liewei’s eyes widened; he never expected Qi Hui to be pregnant, that he would have a child at this age.
"Hmm, are you happy? Our child!" Qi Hui’s hand caressed her lower abdomen, her gaze gentle and hopeful as she looked at Leng Liewei.
This news suddenly stunned Leng Liewei, making him unsure how to react for a moment.
Is he happy to have a child?
Happy!
But it also felt strange. He already had a granddaughter, and now a child suddenly younger than his granddaughter would appear. How embarrassing it would be to mention it!
Back then, although his fallout with Luna was ultimately due to her inability to conceive, really Leng Liewei’s anger stemmed from Luna’s deception, and her previous act of feeding Xiao Xi sleeping pills. Added with Luna’s daily crying and fussing after discovering he slept with Qi Hui, it really wore out his patience. All these piled together finally made Leng Liewei harden his heart to separate from Luna.
However, this didn’t mean he had any expectations for the child.
Leng Yichen was calm when he heard he was about to have a sibling younger than his daughter, but Bai Yiran was shocked, feeling somewhat resentful that Qi Hui chose this moment to announce the news.
Judging by Qi Hui’s recent vomiting after eating, she seemed to be at least two or three months pregnant, and perhaps she knew about this earlier but didn’t say anything, yet mentioned it now at the table celebrating her return home.
Qi Hui’s action really made Bai Yiran feel disgusted; this blatant move seemed to seek attention among them, which was quite shameless.
Seeing everyone’s reactions, Qi Hui became somewhat displeased, "What, are you all unhappy about my pregnancy? Old Leng, are you unhappy too? This is your child!"
Leng Liewei felt somewhat ashamed facing Leng Yichen, but looking at Qi Hui’s expecting belly, it was still his child after all.
"How many months along? Confirmed?"
Qi Hui nodded, "Two months, already confirmed."
Leng Liewei’s expression was complex, though it wasn’t hard to see he was happy.
"Congratulations, Dad! Having a child at an old age is something to be happy about!" Leng Yichen remained silent, only Bai Yiran, as the daughter-in-law, spoke. She could see Leng Liewei wanted this child. Qi Hui announced this news to sow discord between Leng Liewei and Leng Yichen, but there’s no way Bai Yiran would let her succeed.
