Chapter 639: Chapter 639: Jian Yufei has already returned_1
Yan Yue never thought she would find herself in such an embarrassing position today.
Things shouldn’t have gone this way…
She was supposed to marry Ruan Tianling and become the noble young mistress of the Ruan Family, as fit and proper as could be.
“Arrgh–” Yan Yue, in a rage, knocked over the lamp on her desk. Hearing the commotion, the maid outside approached the door cautiously.
“Young Mistress, is everything alright?”
That title of “young mistress” sounded ironically in her ears!
She wanted to rebuff with a ‘get lost,’ but ultimately refrained from saying so.
She was in a tricky position and had to please every single person here.
That included the maid…
Yan Yue got up and opened the door, “I’m fine, I just accidentally knocked something over. You can come in and clean up in a moment. By the way, has the lady gotten up yet?”
“The lady is already up and having breakfast in the living room.”
After freshening up, Yan Yue went downstairs where Ruan’s mother and father were having breakfast.
Seeing her come down, Ruan’s mother warmly greeted, “Come and eat something. Pregnant women must eat in the morning, else they might have low blood sugar. I’ve had someone make your favorite breakfast. Have some more.”
“Mom, you care about me more than my own mother does.” Yan Yue took a seat, sweetly engaging Ruan’s mother with a smile.
Ruan’s mother laughed heartily, “See! Having a son is not as great as having a good daughter-in-law. Only our Ruan family can marry such a wonderful daughter-in-law.”
Yan Yue blinked her eyes playfully, “I’m the fortunate one to have such a loving mother-in-law and such a great family.”
“This sweet little mouth always flatters us every day. I wonder how much candy she must eat,” Ruan’s mother teased but her face was full of warmth showing her deep affection.
Yan Yue showed her hands innocently, “I haven’t had any candy. Lately, I’ve been craving sour foods, can’t stomach anything sweet.”
Ruan’s mother laughed heartily again.
Craving sour foods was a good sign; there was a saying that one will have a boy if they crave sour things and a girl if they crave spicy foods. If she was craving sour foods, it might mean she was carrying a boy.
“Yueyue, let’s go for a check-up in a few days. We can now determine the gender of the baby,” Ruan’s mother tried to contain her laughter and said with a smile.
Yan Yue nodded, “Yes, I was thinking the same thing.”
Although her face was graced with a relaxed smile, she was very nervous inside.
If it was a son, that would be best. But even if it was a daughter, that would be fine too. After all, it would still be the Ruan family’s flesh and blood.
After breakfast, Yan Yue went upstairs to change and then left the house.
She didn’t take the car, opting instead to take a taxi.
In a coffee shop with a stylish ambiance, Yan Yue asked for a private booth. After waiting for a while, there was a knock on the door.
“Please come in,” she said aloud.
The door was pushed open and Xiao Lang, dressed in a white shirt, came in from outside.
He sat down opposite Yan Yue and asked calmly, “Miss Yan, why did you ask me to come here?”
Not beating around the bush, Yan Yue asked with a slight smile, “Mr. Xiao, are you aware that Jian Yufei has returned?”
Xiao Lang looked placid, not showing any reaction, “Why do you ask?”
“It seems Mr Xiao already knows,” Yan Yue responded calmly. The whole world knew of Jian Yufei’s return, only she didn’t.
She felt like a fool.
“Now that you know, you should be aware that Jian Yufei is now with Ruan Tianling, right?”
Xiao Lang leaned casually against the chair, his demeanor oozing nobility.
In the face of Yan Yue’s questions, he maintained his indifferent façade, showing no interest in her words.
