Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 251 - 224: Let’s Skip the Bride Price

Mu Yunchu’s behavior of knowing the truth but refusing to tell her was truly infuriating. Zhao Yixuan gripped her phone anxiously, feeling like she could even hear her own heartbeat.

Just when she couldn’t stand this atmosphere any longer and was about to reach a breaking point, the phone screen lit up, startling her.

The accompanying vibration almost made her drop the phone.

When there was no call, Zhao Yixuan was impatiently eager to know what happened next. However, when the thing Mu Yunchu mentioned actually happened, she hesitated and didn’t press the answer button right away.

Because she knew very well what this call represented.

Seeing her hesitation, the viewers in the live stream also started discussing it.

[Do you think the intended person will refuse the call? From her stance, it seems like she doesn’t plan to answer it.]

[No way, since the streamer said so, there’s definitely no chance of the two getting married. Not answering the call doesn’t mean nothing will happen.]

[Answer it, answer it! I’m so curious about what her boyfriend is calling to say.]

...

Zhao Yixuan didn’t have the energy to keep reading the comments, but she was ready to take the call. Only after taking a deep breath did she press the answer button.

At the same time, she turned on the speaker.

So that the viewers in the live stream could hear the conversation between the two.

It was mainly so that Mu Yunchu could hear.

"Hello? Xuan Xuan."

The man’s affectionate nickname came through the phone just as usual, and Zhao Yixuan could even feel it was happier than before.

"Mm."

Zhao Yixuan’s voice was muffled; due to the tension, her nerves were taut.

Her boyfriend didn’t notice anything wrong with her at all and continued with the lines he had prepared in advance.

At first, it was still quite normal.

"Xuan Xuan, I’ve got some good news for you."

"What good news?" Zhao Yixuan wasn’t very interested, and when she heard this, she was even a bit guarded and cautious.

"I told my parents about your pregnancy. They are very happy!"

Zhao Yixuan didn’t feel anything was amiss, listening to these common words, she unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and wasn’t as nervous as before.

"I see..."

The boyfriend continued, "You really brought glory to our Liu Family. I’m the only son in three generations. If it’s a boy..."

Perhaps out of excitement, some words that had been held in his heart just slipped out.

"But it’s okay if it’s not a boy, it’s totally fine."

Zhao Yixuan frowned, "You’re not about to say something about a second child, are you?"

A trace of displeasure rose in her heart.

Because they had discussed this topic before marriage, Zhao Yixuan had solemnly told him more than once that she could never have a second child.

He had agreed at the time, and now faced with this issue again, she was naturally unhappy.

Her boyfriend gestured to someone beside him and gave them a look before he continued talking to Zhao Yixuan after a few seconds, "No, no, we already agreed, I’m not that kind of person."

Feeling Zhao Yixuan was still not very happy, he quickly changed the topic, wisely not continuing on this matter.

After all, he had an important matter to discuss today and couldn’t waste time on unnecessary things.

"My mom said that as soon as your belly gets a bit bigger, she’ll come to take care of us, making sure you don’t get tired."

"Of course, after the baby is born, you can rest assured too; my mom said she’ll take care of everything."

"When it comes to taking care of children, the two elders have the most experience."

Zhao Yixuan wasn’t as happy as he was, "How are they going to take care?"

"Of course, to help you through the confinement period!" her boyfriend said excitedly, "I guarantee you’ll be well taken care of."

Zhao Yixuan: "..."

[Why does this conversation feel so strange to me?]

[In my experience, never let your mother-in-law take care of your confinement.]

[I don’t deny there are good mothers-in-law in the world, but I wouldn’t bet on it, so I booked a month at a confinement center myself, it costs a few thousand dollars but is very worry-free.]

[I agree with this. My mom told me how she barely got any rest during her confinement because my grandma would always make pickles. It’s not the same as having your own mom!]

[And it’s not like she’s lacking money, their family is quite well-off, so why suffer like this?]

[Am I the only one who thinks this is an incredible mother-in-law, offering to take care of the confinement and the baby as soon as she hears about the pregnancy.]

[Honestly, I feel the same, but seeing everyone bashing, I’m too scared to speak up.]

...

Zhao Yixuan wanted to refuse.

She completely didn’t need this kind of care.

But before she could refuse, her boyfriend continued speaking.

"Of course, speaking of this, there’s something else I’d like to discuss with you."

Zhao Yixuan’s heart sank.

Her sixth sense told her this was the matter Mu Yunchu had mentioned.

So she didn’t bother to refuse her mother-in-law coming to take care of her.

All her attention was focused on this.

"I’m still a bit embarrassed, you’re alone, right?"

"Your parents aren’t around, are they?"

Her boyfriend seemed not to want Zhao Yixuan’s parents to hear what he had to say, so he cautiously asked a few questions.

Zhao Yixuan glanced at the screen, and Mu Yunchu gave an almost imperceptible nod.

Only then did she say, "There’s no one else."

Her boyfriend let out a sigh of relief.

"You know, my parents are planning to take care of you and the baby, right? They currently do part-time work outside, and if they come to care for you, they might have to stop working for eight or nine months."

"Of course, this is conservative. Once both of us are working, they’ll still need to stay home to watch the child. Suffice it to say until elementary school."

"This means at least six or seven years."

Zhao Yixuan wanted to say she didn’t need them to take care of her.

Neither for her confinement nor the pre-school years of the child.

But her boyfriend gave no chance.

He changed his tone again, "Of course, that’s not important. After all, you are their daughter-in-law, and it’s their duty. One day when they get old, you’ll have to take care of them, too."

Zhao Yixuan’s brows knitted even tighter.

"But... there’s just one thing, about the money..."

"What money?" Zhao Yixuan asked.

"The dowry," her boyfriend said.

He finally brought up the main topic after beating around the bush.

"You see, during these seven years, even without mentioning too much, isn’t 200,000 yuan quite reasonable?"

When Zhao Yixuan heard the amount, she faintly realized something. Her face darkened, but she wanted him to say it directly.

"What do you propose then?"

"I just think, since we’ll be one family in the future, we shouldn’t have to pay the 200,000 dowry, right?"

Zhao Yixuan: "..."
