Chapter 873: 875, who am I? Where am I? (One more update)

Madam Mo looked at Mo Qingyi and laughed, "What’s happened? Why are you so happy?"

"Guess?" Mo Qingyi slightly blinked, teasingly said, "Anyway, it’s something that can make people happy."

"Something that makes people happy?" A hint of confusion flashed in Madam Mo’s eyes, "Let me guess, hmm, did your military rank get promoted again?"

"No." Mo Qingyi shook her head.

"Won the lottery?" Madam Mo continued.

"That’s not it either, Mom, keep guessing." Mo Qingyi smiled with her eyes.

"I won’t guess anymore, I won’t guess anymore, you young people have too many tricks, I can’t keep up." Madam Mo waved her hand.

Chu Jin peeled an orange for Mo Qingyi and said with a light smile, "Alright Qingyi, stop keeping Mom in suspense, just tell us."

Mo Qingyi cleared her throat, coughed once, then said, "Alright, I’ll announce the news now, Mom, please sit tight, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it when the time comes."

Li Xiangzhi also looked at Mo Qingyi curiously from the side.

Madam Mo glanced at Mo Qingyi and said, "You little rascal, if you’re just leading me on, I won’t listen."

Mo Qingyi walked over and took a seat next to Madam Mo, wrapping an arm around her shoulder, and said with a grin, "Mom, you’re going to be a grandmother."

A few plain words stunned Madam Mo; it took her quite a while to come back to her senses. She looked at Mo Qingyi incredulously and said, "Qingyi, what did you say? Say it again." At that moment, Madam Mo almost thought she was hallucinating.

Seeing Madam Mo’s reaction, Mo Qingyi’s eyes also became a bit moist. She took a deep breath and continued, "Mom, I’m pregnant."

Pregnant?

Really pregnant!

Madam Mo’s eyes widened as she looked at Mo Qingyi, her gaze filled with deep surprise and disbelief; she felt like she was dreaming as she took in her surroundings.

"Qingyi, are you serious? You’re really pregnant?" Madam Mo tightly grasped Mo Qingyi’s hand. Because of her excessive force, her knuckles turned slightly white, and Mo Qingyi’s hand started to ache from the squeeze. Madam Mo was truly very excited.

This feeling was even more thrilling than when she first heard the news of Chu Jin’s pregnancy.

She had even prepared herself for the possibility that Mo Qingyi might not have children, but unexpectedly, when she least expected it, this child suddenly came into the world.

The joy was indescribable.

Mo Qingyi nodded, "Yes, I’m pregnant. Jin already confirmed it for me just now."

Madam Mo immediately turned her gaze towards Chu Jin and asked with a trembling voice, "Jin, is what Qingyi said true? You’re not playing a joke on me, are you?"

"Mom, it’s true, Qingyi is pregnant, she’s been so for almost a month now, you’re going to be a grandmother," Chu Jin walked over, tightly clutching Madam Mo’s hand, with a smile in her eyes.

By now, Chu Jin somewhat understood why Mo Qingyi had to protect this child at all costs.

The continuity of life was not just for the sake of a family’s legacy, but also the meaning of being born and living.

Take, for example, the vast Mo family.

If the Mo family’s matriarch had not given birth to Mo Zhixuan and not adopted Mo Qingyi, today it would have been desolate and empty.

If a home lacks the presence of family members, it’s just a building.

"Good, good, it’s really too wonderful! Qingqing, Mom has finally lived to see this day." The Mo family’s matriarch couldn’t help but shed tears of excitement.

"Mom, why are you crying?" Mo Qingyi choked up as she wiped away the matriarch’s tears.

The Mo family’s matriarch smiled through her tears, her voice hoarse, "Mom’s not crying, Mom is just so happy."

It was tears of immense joy.

Li Xiangzhi immediately said with a laugh, "Sister, you’re blessed with continuous fortune and a prosperous family, which truly makes me envious. Qingyi, your aunt congratulates you here." With one sentence, she pleased the Mo family’s matriarch and also congratulated Mo Qingyi.

In such an atmosphere, Li Xiangzhi naturally needed to make her presence felt more.

Mo Qingyi smiled at Li Xiangzhi, "Thank you, Auntie." Her previous dislike for Li Xiangzhi lessened by a lot right then.

"Does Little Zhe and your in-laws know this news?" The Mo family’s matriarch looked at Mo Qingyi, then asked.

Mo Qingyi shook her head, "I haven’t had the chance to tell them yet."

The Mo family’s matriarch immediately said, "Then you quickly go back with Little Zhe and tell your in-laws the good news, they will surely be overjoyed, and it’s also getting late. Pregnant women shouldn’t go out early or return late." Due to a pregnant woman’s low vital energy, they can easily encounter some undesirable things, so they should not go out early or return late.

Mo Qingyi pouted discontentedly, "Mom, are you trying to hurry me away? I had planned to stay over tonight."

"Tonight you must go back and tell your in-laws this great news; they’ve been waiting for so many years," the Mo family’s matriarch said with a warm smile, "You can come over again with Little Zhe tomorrow."

The Mo family’s matriarch understood that as a mother herself, it wasn’t appropriate to keep Mo Qingyi over for the night, as it would seem a bit disrespectful to Duanmu Zhe’s parents.

"I know, Mom." Mo Qingyi took the Mo family’s matriarch’s arm, "I was just joking with you."

Qinghe soon brought Duanmu Zhe over.

Mo Zhixuan and Mo Fengxu were still playing with the children, and Little Jin was among them. This time he didn’t cause any trouble, but he clung to Mo Zhixuan more than usual.

This made Bao Bao and Bei Bei look at Little Jin with guarded eyes, fearful that he might steal their daddy.

Li Xiangzhi kept casting glances over there, unintentionally or intentionally, a hint of brightness in her eyes.

From Mo Zhixuan’s behavior, it seemed he didn’t dislike Little Jin after all.

"Mom, you called for me?" Duanmu Zhe approached the Mo family’s matriarch.

The Mo family’s matriarch nodded, her smile warm, "Little Zhe, Qingyi has something she wants to tell you."

Duanmu Zhe looked at Mo Qingyi, somewhat surprised, "Hmm? What do you have to tell me?" He and Mo Qingyi were always together, barely having any secrets from each other. If there was anything to say, why couldn’t Mo Qingyi just tell him directly, instead of having the Mo family’s matriarch summon him?

Mo Qingyi kept her composure, rising from the sofa, "It’s nothing much, just that it’s getting late, and we should go home." Saying this, Mo Qingyi playfully winked at the Mo family’s matriarch and Chu Jin.

Chu Jin and the Mo family’s elderly matriarch kept their understanding to themselves, their eyes and brows brimming with smiles.

"It’s still early," Duanmu Zhe looked down at his watch, "it’s only 8 o’clock. We can still play for a while."

Duanmu Zhe also really enjoyed spending time with the children.

Although he didn’t have children of his own yet, seeing the smiles on the children’s faces brought him immense satisfaction.

"Mom and Dad go to bed at nine sharp, let’s hurry back," Mo Qingyi, hanging onto Duanmu Zhe’s arm, couldn’t contain the joy in her eyes.

Duanmu Zhe was utterly confused and continued to be so, until Mo Qingyi took him outside the gates of the imperial palace, still somewhat dazed.

"What’s going on, Qingyi?"

Mo Qingyi gave a secretive smile, "Let’s go home first, I’ll tell you when we’re back." They still had to drive home, and Mo Qingyi was afraid Duanmu Zhe would get too excited to drive properly.

"So mysterious?" Curiosity sparkled in Duanmu Zhe’s eyes, "What on earth happened for you to be so happy?" It had been a long time since he had seen Mo Qingyi this happy, a joy so infectious it seemed to radiate from within.

"Get in the car first," Mo Qingyi got to the car before Duanmu Zhe and opened the passenger door, sitting down.

Duanmu Zhe felt as if a cat was tickling him inside, his curiosity unbearable, but no matter how he asked, Mo Qingyi simply wouldn’t spill the beans.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the Duanmu family’s villa.

As soon as Mo Qingyi stepped out of the car, Duanmu Zhe circled around to her side, propping one hand on the car body and the other on the door, trapping Mo Qingyi between him and the car with a "car dong" move.

Under the starlight, a sly twinkle fleeted across Mo Qingyi’s eyes, like a cute little fox.

"Come on, tell grandpa what happened," Duanmu Zhe leaned in, his forehead almost touching Mo Qingyi’s, their breaths intertwining in an intimate atmosphere.

Mo Qingyi’s lips curled into a faint smile, "I’m not telling, it’ll kill you with curiosity."

"Are you really not telling or just pretending?" Duanmu Zhe’s voice was low and husky.

"Of course I am..." Before she could finish her sentence, Duanmu Zhe cut her off with a kiss, murmuring, "Then I’ll just keep kissing you until you tell."

Mo Qingyi clung to his neck, getting lost in the kiss he led.

That kiss was far too long, leaving both of them gasping for air.

Mo Qingyi, with her hands around Duanmu Zhe’s neck, looked at him earnestly, her eyes dark and intense. She spoke slowly, enunciating each word, "Duanmu Zhe, I’m pregnant."

When Duanmu Zhe heard these seven words, he was totally stunned, unable to react.

"What did you say?"

"I’m pregnant!" Mo Qingyi repeated, her tone light.

Duanmu Zhe froze on the spot, his expression almost petrified. He didn’t even know how to express his excitement.

Two thoughts appeared in his mind.

Who am I?

Where am I?

"Duanmu Zhe? Have you gone dumb?" Mo Qingyi waved her hand in front of his face.

Duanmu Zhe still wore that dazed expression.

It seemed he had really gone dumbfounded.

"Duanmu Zhe?" Mo Qingyi patted his head.

In that moment, Duanmu Zhe snapped back to his senses, grabbed Mo Qingyi’s hand, and then hugged her tightly, trembling slightly without saying a word.

Joy, happiness, bittersweet feelings...

All of these emotions mingled together.

After a long while, Duanmu Zhe finally burst out, overwhelmed with emotion, "Qingyi, tell me I’m not dreaming, tell me..."

This child’s arrival was utterly unexpected.

In fact, Duanmu Zhe had prepared himself to never be a father in this lifetime!

But unexpectedly...

"Silly, of course this isn’t a dream, this is real. I’m going to be a mother, and you’re going to be a father," Mo Qingyi patted Duanmu Zhe’s shoulder.

This wasn’t a dream; all of this was truly happening.

"That’s wonderful, just wonderful!" Duanmu Zhe, thrilled, picked up Mo Qingyi, "I’m going to be a dad! Qingyi! I’m going to be a dad! I’m so happy! I’m so thrilled! Thank you!"

After so many years of anticipation, how could he not be thrilled?

"Put me down! You’re making me dizzy spinning me around like that!" Mo Qingyi slapped at Duanmu Zhe’s hands.

She was in the early stages of pregnancy and, unlike other pregnant women, was experiencing severe reactions. Duanmu Zhe’s spinning made Mo Qingyi feel a surge of nausea, more intense than motion sickness.

Duanmu Zhe immediately became anxious and set Mo Qingyi down, "Qingyi, are you okay?"

The moment Mo Qingyi’s feet touched the ground, she covered her mouth and rushed to a nearby trashcan to retch.

Duanmu Zhe patted Mo Qingyi’s back frantically, "Qingyi, are you alright? Why such a strong reaction?"

"Give me water," Mo Qingyi reached out to Duanmu Zhe.

Duanmu Zhe quickly stood up, fetched a bottle of mineral water from the car, opened it, handed it to Mo Qingyi, and kindly drew a few napkins for her as well.

"Qingyi, are you okay? Why are you still throwing up?" With the news of Mo Qingyi’s pregnancy, Duanmu Zhe had been overjoyed, but now seeing Mo Qingyi vomiting like that, he was deeply concerned.

After rinsing her mouth, Mo Qingyi finally felt better, "I’m fine, haven’t you watched TV dramas? Pregnant women vomit."
