Chapter 191 The Root of Worries

Having a child…

Once the arrow is loosed, there’s no turning back. So, Su Yehao hoped Nong Qingying would think it through beforehand.

They had been secretly dating for more than two years, but raising children was ultimately different from mere romantic love.

Although a child could become a bond that strengthened their relationship, it could also disrupt their harmony and create new conflicts.

This was mainly due to Su Yehao’s rather… complicated love life.

In the short term, it was obviously impossible for the child to be exposed to the public eye, and even less possible to manage this little family wholeheartedly like other couples.

Therefore, Su Yehao acted rationally, asking Nong Qingying to think it over first.

Of course, Nong Qingying understood what he meant. It had always been like this for a long time, and she had long accepted it calmly.

At this moment.

The girl waved her hand, and asked in a nonchalant tone:

“Isn't it just being discreet? What's different from now? I told you, I don’t want to compete for anything, you don’t have to worry. Before you came, I had already seriously considered it. Given our conditions, if we have a child, we can definitely give the little one the best of everything, similar to the children of other concubines, right? Maybe it's just my age. Recently, when I see cute kids, I always feel maternal.”

Su Yehao nodded and said, "Of course, material conditions are definitely not a problem. If we have a child, I will help you take care of it too."

“Tch… Can you spare the time?”

Nong Qingying blurted out subconsciously, but felt a little strange talking about this now. So she took the initiative to give Su Yehao a way out, changing the subject and saying:

“You know, even though it was a fake marriage, I’m divorced. Back then, because I had a bad reputation, people scolded me for being cursed to kill that guy, etcetera. It made me feel uneasy and nervous all day long, and I was muddleheadedly tricked by you, you rascal.”

“Ah Hao, what I want to say is, I myself don't want to be in the public eye.”

“You're so amazing now, your reputation has spread all over the world. Once the media finds out that I have a child with you, wouldn't it be like stirring up a hornet's nest? At that time, my past will definitely be dug up, which is like exhuming a grave and flogging the corpse. Just thinking about it scares me."

“So, either I'll just hide in Tokyo, Japan, like before, since the house near Ginza hasn't been sold yet. Or I can go to some countryside, buy a manor with a large yard. I heard that there are farms for sale near the SK-II raw material brewery in Kobe. Wow, eating Wagyu beef and lamb every day, and the environment and scenery are also particularly good…”

Su Yehao sat on the sofa, listening to Nong Qingying say so much in one breath, and immediately teased, "I can tell you're very nervous now. You're actually considering so far ahead? Japan is not a suitable place to raise children. They won't even be able to speak Cantonese, wouldn't that be like raising a little Japanese? The ancestral graves at home would be smoking black smoke."

“What should I do then? Go to Singapore? England? America?” Nong Qingying asked again.

She was indeed particularly nervous. This feeling was probably like suddenly standing at a crossroads in life, or throwing a big rock into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Holding Nong Qingying’s hand, Su Yehao reached out and patted the back of her hand, telling her:

“Just stay in Hong Kong and live in peace, so it’s convenient for me to come over and take care of you often. You know, although I am famous outside, I also have a bad reputation with the ladies. When I divide tens of billions to you, those media will only be envious. Leave all the trouble to me…”

A little touched.

Nong Qingying said, "I should go to the hospital for a checkup first. What if it's a false result? Wouldn't we look like fools talking so much now?"

“...That’s right, I feel like it’s best to find my mom for this kind of thing, and let her handle it for us. The child's health is very important. We haven't quit drinking recently, and I occasionally smoke cigars."

“…”

After a moment of silence, Nong Qingying said, "Your mom doesn't like me."

Su Yehao thought of something and immediately said happily:

“Haha, as long as you’re pregnant with my child, my mom won’t have a choice. Actually, it’s best to let the child be surnamed Tang, and let my grandfather support you. The old man has been wanting to inherit the family line so badly, he urges me every time he sees me. And I've explained it to my mom for you. I'm not a mama's boy, she won't give you a hard time..."

Nong Qingying went to the hospital for a checkup and found that she was indeed pregnant.

Don't look at Su Yehao pretending to be calm in front of her. In fact, his mind was already in a mess. When he received the call, his heart rate soared.

In the final analysis.

The root of his troubles was that he didn't know how to tell Nangong Tian, Jiang Yu, and Yin Liuli about this.

If he kept it a secret, and the news leaked out, Su Yehao felt that he would definitely die miserably.

But if he confessed… he would probably die even sooner.

No matter which option he chose, it seemed like a dead end.

Su Yehao simply gave up and threw the problem to someone smarter to deal with. He immediately took a car to Branksome Grande on the Mid-Levels, called his grandfather to take a blood pressure pill in advance, and prepared himself mentally.

When he arrived at the Tang family's old house.

He saw the old man, already standing at the gate with a cane, being supported, his palms trembling slightly. As soon as he saw Su Yehao, he asked loudly, "Did something happen to your mother? Or your aunt?!"

"Huh? Who said something happened to them?"

Su Yehao got out of the car and saw that the old man's face was not right. He immediately guessed what was going on and said with a wry smile, "It's my business, a happy event. Let's talk in detail in your study. It's my fault for not making it clear to you. You've got sweat on your forehead."

The old man Tang glared at him, barely resisting the urge to hit him with his cane, and said unhappily, "How old am I? Are you still keeping me in suspense? I couldn't get through to your mother just now. Do you know that scaring people can scare them to death..."

He let his grandfather sit in a wheelchair.

Su Yehao pushed him to the second floor in the elevator, to the study.

After closing the door, he briefly explained the matter, rambling about the difficulty of how to deal with it. At this time, Su Yehao was at a loss, and he really couldn't guess what kind of reaction Xiao Ni Zi and Jiang Yu would have after hearing about it.

No matter how he guessed, the result was not good.

In fact, the old man Tang didn't listen carefully at all. He only knew that that good-looking girl surnamed Nong was pregnant with his grandson's child.

In the old man's eyes, this was a big deal. He took a blood pressure pill on the spot, lest he didn't see the child, and he would die because he was too excited.

After coughing a few times while drinking water.

His grandfather interrupted his nagging and asked seriously, "Xiao Hao, are you sure it's your child? The world is going downhill now, and some people will do anything for money. I know several examples of people pretending to be pregnant with pillows to swindle money."

"?????"

A vast prairie flashed through his mind. Su Yehao quickly drove this idea out of his mind.

With a certain tone, he told his grandfather, "She's not that kind of person, she's a very serious girl. It's been more than two years with me. Xiao Ying herself has a mansion on Barker Road, with assets of more than ten billion Hong Kong dollars. There's no need for her to deceive me."

"Oh? What number is Barker Road? I'll go take a look," the old man asked.

"Ba... That's not right, what are you going to do?"

"Of course, I'm going to see my precious great-grandson. The technology is quite advanced now. Not long after pregnancy, you can know whether it's a boy or a girl through blood."

“…”

Su Yehao was too lazy to complain about the old man's preference for sons. The older generation had old-fashioned ideas, and the ancestral hall atmosphere in Hong Kong was particularly strong. In addition, there was family property waiting for people to inherit, so their way of thinking was inevitably different from that of young people.

He continued to say to his grandfather, "Let's not worry about whether it's a boy or a girl. My backyard is about to burn down. Do you have any good ideas?"

The old man Tang just snorted lightly, with a smile on his lips, and said, "What's so difficult about this? Work hard and get them all pregnant, wouldn't that be fair to everyone?"

After speaking, the old man took out a Xuande furnace, poured sandalwood ash into it, and placed it in front of a seated statue of Sakyamuni Buddha in gilded bronze from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, and began to worship Buddha at the last minute, praying for the blessings of his ancestors.

"Wonderful! As expected of a cunning old fox!"

Su Yehao heard this, as if he had opened the door to a new world, and his thoughts suddenly became clearer.

He was worried that the girls would be angry and abandon him because of the stimulation. Wouldn't having children mean that their bones were connected to their tendons? It was indeed a good idea.

"???"

The old man Tang felt that he had been scolded.

However, the old man was in a great mood now, smiling and too lazy to care...
