Madam, Please Behave-Chapter 270: My Sister Is Pregnant

<p172" data-end="252">Under the pitch-black night sky, Liu Zhiyue walked to the front of his building.

<p254" data-end="441">Just as he turned the corner and was about to head upstairs, he saw a figure crouching at the stairwell entrance. Because there were no lights, Liu Zhiyue couldn’t clearly see who it was. <p443" data-end="517">He took a couple more steps forward and then recognized the person’s face. <p519" data-end="538">Isn’t that my dad?! <p540" data-end="734">After the initial shock, a wave of confusion surged in Liu Zhiyue’s heart. Looking at his father crouched at the stairwell with a troubled expression, he asked,

“Dad, what are you doing here?” <p736" data-end="760">“Just getting some air.”

<p762" data-end="916">Liu Changqing responded to his son, sounding distracted. He raised the cigarette in his hand, took a puff, and then slowly exhaled a long stream of smoke. <p918" data-end="1064">Then he looked up at his son. After staring at him for a moment, he stood up from his crouch and took two steps forward, standing in front of him. <p1066" data-end="1092">He hesitated for a moment. <p1094" data-end="1164">“Zhiyue… do you think a little sister is better, or a little brother?” <p1166" data-end="1190">“Huh? What do you mean?” <p1192" data-end="1270">Hearing his son's response, Liu Changqing was momentarily unsure how to begin. <p1272" data-end="1397">Unlike his somewhat slow daughter, Liu Changqing knew clearly that his son, Liu Zhiyue, was much more intelligent and mature. <p1399" data-end="1561">But no matter what, this body’s age was what it was, and Liu Zhiyue was already 15 years old. At this age, if he found out he was about to have a younger sibling… <p1563" data-end="1592">“Is it… is Aunt An pregnant?” <p1594" data-end="1687">Seeing his father stay silent, Liu Zhiyue seemed to catch on and asked in a questioning tone. <p1689" data-end="1745">Liu Changqing looked a bit surprised by his son’s guess. <p1747" data-end="1764">“How’d you know?” <p1766" data-end="1928">“You literally just asked me if a sister or brother would be better… Besides, you and Aunt An sleep in the same room. The textbooks cover this kind of stuff too.” <p1930" data-end="1961">“You really are well-educated…” <p1963" data-end="2038">Looking at his son’s calm expression, Liu Changqing felt a little relieved. <p2040" data-end="2097">“You’re really going to have a little brother or sister.” <p2099" data-end="2117">“Mm, that’s nice.” <p2119" data-end="2273">Liu Zhiyue responded casually. He wasn’t particularly surprised about having a sibling. If there was any surprise, it was just that it happened this fast. <p2275" data-end="2346">After all… Dad hadn’t even registered his marriage with An Yuanyao yet. <p2348" data-end="2493">They were just living together. Ever since An Yuanyao moved in, and his dad announced they were in a relationship, Liu Zhiyue had never objected. <p2495" data-end="2595">He just never called her “Mom,” because… well, they were only living together. They weren’t married. <p2597" data-end="2625">But now that there’s a baby… <p2627" data-end="2668">Liu Zhiyue thought for a bit, then asked, <p2670" data-end="2719">“Dad… so when are you planning to marry Aunt An?” <p2721" data-end="2757">“I’ve been thinking about that too.” <p2759" data-end="2909">Liu Changqing took another drag, then flicked the cigarette to the side and ground it out with his foot. He adjusted his pants and took a deep breath. <p2911" data-end="3151">“But you don’t have to worry about all that. I’ll take care of it. I just came down to let you know. From now on, when you’re home, keep an eye on your sister. That girl’s always running around—don’t let her accidentally bump into Aunt An.” <p3153" data-end="3170">“Okay, I got it.” <p3172" data-end="3242">“That’s all. Go on up. I made dinner before I came down. Just go eat.” <p3244" data-end="3249">“Mm.” <p3251" data-end="3430">Responding with a hum, Liu Zhiyue turned to go upstairs. But after just a few steps, he noticed his dad was still standing there, completely still, with no intention of coming up. <p3432" data-end="3470">That left Liu Zhiyue a little puzzled. <p3472" data-end="3495">“You’re not coming up?” <p3497" data-end="3532">“I’ll come up later. You go ahead.” <p3534" data-end="3545">“…Alright.” <p3547" data-end="3709">Although a bit confused, Liu Zhiyue didn’t press. He lowered his head and thought about it but still couldn’t figure out why his dad was staying downstairs alone. <p3711" data-end="3739">So he quietly went upstairs. <p3741" data-end="3942">Once his son left, the composed expression Liu Changqing had been forcing collapsed instantly. He pulled out his cigarette pack again, lit another one, and took a drag, looking a little worn and weary. <p3944" data-end="4008">Sometimes, being an adult just means carrying a bit more stress. <p4010" data-end="4128">Just thinking about An Yuanyao’s dad, with that stone-cold face from his memory, made Liu Changqing even more nervous. <p4130" data-end="4265">Even though he knew the other party didn’t object to him living with An Yuanyao, now that she was pregnant, if he had to go visit them… <p4267" data-end="4295">He could already picture it. <p4297" data-end="4455">He’d bring a very pregnant An Yuanyao to the door, and then her father would wave his hand, and a bunch of men in black would rush out, pin him to the ground. <p4457" data-end="4471">While yelling— <p4473" data-end="4526">“So you’re the punk who knocked up my daughter?!” <p4528" data-end="4660">Every guy goes through something like this. No matter what, meeting the girl’s parents for the first time always brings some nerves. <p4662" data-end="4806">Especially when Liu Changqing remembered An Yuanyao’s dad always came off as not exactly easy to get along with, always serious and stern-faced. <p4808" data-end="4815">“Sigh…” <p4817" data-end="4934">He let out a breath and walked a few steps toward the door. Looking up at the pitch-black sky, his heart felt uneasy. <p4936" data-end="4961">“This is gonna be tough…”

<p4968" data-end="4982">An Family. <p4984" data-end="5124">An Qianxun picked up the phone call from his sister. After hearing what she said, he was completely stunned, frozen for a solid ten seconds. <p5126" data-end="5199">He only snapped out of it after his sister called his name several times. <p5201" data-end="5226">Then he shouted out loud, <p5228" data-end="5247">“You’re pregnant!!” <p5249" data-end="5396">That shout caught the attention of their grandparents, who were nearby playing with their grandson. Both of them looked over with questioning eyes. <p5398" data-end="5515">[Shhh… not so loud! I only dared to tell you—I haven’t told Mom and Dad yet… I’m afraid they won’t take it well.] <p5517" data-end="5627">Hearing that, An Qianxun froze on the spot. He instinctively glanced over at the two people staring their way. <p5629" data-end="5671">Looks like they might have figured it out… <p5673" data-end="5751">He didn’t tell his sister this and instead thought for a moment before asking, <p5753" data-end="5791">“Where’s Liu Changqing? Is he around?” <p5793" data-end="5860">[He’s sitting right next to me. He’s been glued to me all day…] <p5862" data-end="5925">“So what are you two planning to do? When are you coming back?” <p5927" data-end="5964">[Still… still figuring that out…] <p5966" data-end="6046">“What is there to figure out? You wanna wait for Mom and Dad to hunt you down?!” <p6048" data-end="6113">An Qianxun’s voice drew the attention of the older couple nearby. <p6115" data-end="6290">Su Yan, An Yuanyao’s mom, froze for a moment—she seemed to catch the word “pregnant.” She clearly remembered hearing An Qianxun say earlier that it was a call from his sister. <p6292" data-end="6358">After answering the phone, he walked off further and further away… <p6360" data-end="6514">As she thought about it, a possibility flashed through Su Yan’s mind. She immediately turned to look at An Quancheng, who was playing with their grandson. <p6516" data-end="6552">With a shocked expression, she said, <p6554" data-end="6592">“Could it be that Yaoyao’s pregnant?!” <p6594" data-end="6603">“No way.” <p6605" data-end="6615">“Why not?” <p6617" data-end="6624">“Hmph.” <p6626" data-end="6635">“Say it!” <p6637" data-end="6727">Seeing her husband act all mysterious, Su Yan got annoyed and immediately smacked his arm. <p6729" data-end="6840">Even though his arm took a hit, An Quancheng still had a stern face. He rubbed his arm and glanced at his wife. <p6842" data-end="6993">“That’s my daughter. If she really got pregnant, she’d call me first, no way she’d tell Qianxun. Don’t overthink it—typical woman’s intuition… Hmph.”
