Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 210: Delayed

Li Hongying held Yi Roujing’s hands, her eyes filled with deep affection and joy, "Mom will make you something delicious."

Li Hongying couldn’t say anything incredibly moving, but this sentence made Yi Roujing very touched, as she really missed Li Hongying’s culinary skills, "Mom, I’ve missed your cooking, the food you make is the best I’ve ever had."

Li Hongying smiled more gently, then exchanged glances with Ding Anmin and Ding Anguo, who obediently followed her to the kitchen to help. Yi Roujing then looked at Ding Ancheng, her eyes questioning.

Ding Ancheng pulled her into the house, then gently held Yi Roujing in his arms, softly rubbing his chin against her fair neck, "My fault."

"Where did you go wrong?" Yi Roujing asked curiously.

"At being too handsome, thus implicating my wife," Ding Ancheng said with utter seriousness.

Yi Roujing blinked her eyes with amusement, "That’s not your fault, it’s actually a merit, who can blame me for being so good-looking too."

Ding Ancheng sat her on his lap and recounted today’s events, "I don’t know exactly what was said, but since Mom was so angry, it must have been something unpleasant."

"Yang’s mom and little sister just arrived recently, I’ve only seen them once, greeted them when Yang introduced us, and then had no chance to meet them again, we’re always out early and back late, so I don’t know how today’s incident came about," Ding Ancheng was also puzzled.

"Hmm, if beauty is truly a sin, then you must be most sinful," Yi Roujing cupped Ding Ancheng’s face and laughed, "It’s not surprising that people fall for you at first sight."

"But I feel troubled," Ding Ancheng feigned pitifulness, gently pinching Yi Roujing’s slender waist, pulling her even closer, "I want you to console me a bit, I’m being ogled, next time you must protect me."

Yi Roujing’s pretty face turned slightly red, Ding Ancheng was now skilled at this trick, yet she enjoyed seeing it unfold, puckering her pink lips to give Ding Ancheng’s thin lips a peck. Seeing his eyes deepen, Yi Roujing dared not go further, with dinner soon, she’d be embarrassed by a swollen mouth.

"Know when to stop." Yi Roujing warned.

"This month your cycle is three days late, tomorrow I’ll accompany you to the hospital for a check-up," Ding Ancheng cautiously placed his right hand on Yi Roujing’s lower abdomen, his eyes tender.

Yi Roujing paused upon hearing that, "It’s late?"

"Hmm."

Yi Roujing actually didn’t doubt Ding Ancheng’s words, since they became an officially married couple, Ding Ancheng was more aware of her cycle dates than herself, even responsible for buying her sanitary pads each month.

Knowing she wasn’t comfortable with sanitary belts, having seen pads once at the Department Store, Yi Roujing had used them ever since, the cost was staggering, and unlike a sanitary belt, they couldn’t be reused, every month it was quite an expense, and tickets were scarce. As for how Ding Ancheng obtained them, Yi Roujing never asked too deeply but felt very touched.

It’s Ding Ancheng’s indulgence that made Yi Roujing find herself unable to leave him, naturally thinking less about many things.

"Let’s sneak in for a check-up, don’t let Mom and Dad know for now, if it’s nothing, it can leave everyone disappointed." Yi Roujing whispered, looking at her stomach, her expression complex, filled with doubt, surprise, anticipation, and a touch of fear...

Ding Ancheng gently pecked Yi Roujing’s face, "Are you scared?"

"Ah—" Yi Roujing was surprised he guessed her thoughts, snuggling closer into Ding Ancheng’s embrace, "A bit, I haven’t been a mother, don’t know if I can do well, I’m actually still a child myself."

Ding Ancheng chuckled softly, "Hmm, I’ll protect you and the child well in the future."

Yi Roujing nodded. Actually, she had considered this outcome since they became intimate without any precautions, perhaps deep down she wanted to have a child for him.

Ding Weihuo saw Ding Ancheng and Yi Roujing come out of the room, their expressions normal, relationship intimate, he relaxed, smiled, and helped arrange the table and utensils, "Mom, what delicious dish did you make, smells great."

With only soup left, Li Hongying asked Ding Ancheng to invite Wang Bingzhi’s couple over, with many family members, Li Hongying directly set up two tables.

Wang Bingzhi and Zhao Hanjuan came with a tin box of cookies and a bag of milk powder, Zhao Hanjuan, being gentle and straightforward, enjoyed the sight of a table full of dishes, colorful and flavorful. She was passionate about cooking, now meeting a kindred spirit, she hurried to sit with Li Hongying at one table, joining the women.

"They’re definitely going to drink, I prefer staying here, it’s refreshing." Zhao Hanjuan chuckled, and after tasting a dish, her eyes shone, discussing cooking techniques with Li Hongying.

At the men’s table, Wang Bingzhi got acquainted with Yi Roujing’s three brothers, friendly exchanged greetings with Ding Anguo, then addressed Ding Ancheng.

"Yang just brought his mom and little sister to me, said they’re sorry for causing trouble, they’re just spending some time in the county during the summer break," Wang Bingzhi explained, "but Yang said he’ll make sure his family leaves soon."

"I’d like them to apologize directly to Jing before leaving," said Ding Ancheng.

"Of course, of course." Wang Bingzhi nodded repeatedly, "I told Yang, he said he’ll bring them over tomorrow night to apologize personally to Roujing."

Ding Ancheng nodded at that.

Wang Bingzhi smiled and took a sip of wine, he could see that the Ding Family was protective, and being protective was good, hopefully after this incident, other eager few at the school would quiet down for a while.

As for Yang Aman, he had heard many people mention her situation, always inquiring if there were suitable young men in other families, the intention was clear, but since the issue hadn’t reached him, it wasn’t his place to intervene in such private matters as a teaching director. Could he really interfere with someone’s matchmaking or marriage?

This time Li Hongying laid things out openly, having reason on her side, it was time to teach them a lesson.

The meal was harmonious and beautiful, after dinner, they enjoyed watermelon together, this First Day of Autumn was considered perfect.

Wang Bingzhi, rarely drinking more, was supported by Zhao Hanjuan as they returned home, while Li Hongying and Ding Weihuo cleaned up and headed to Bright Alley.

"Mom, while you and Dad are here, I’ll bring my partner to meet you all tomorrow?" Ding Anguo mentioned on the way back.

"Oh, finally willing to introduce her." Li Hongying laughed, "Like a mute gourd, not even mentioning your relationship, I heard it from your sister-in-law, I thought you’d only tell us when you picked a wedding date."

Ding Anmin giggled beside him, keeping teasing, "Mom, did second brother really not mention it? Tsk tsk, only Lishu could stand him."

"I know sister-in-law told you and mom, just didn’t bring it up," Ding Anguo cleared his throat, his face slightly flushed.
