“That’s great! We’ve got double happiness in our family now,” Daddy He said cheerfully.
“Yes,” Father Ye agreed.
“Mom, Dad, maybe we should set the date soon. After all, Xiaomeng’s belly is getting bigger,” He Ming suggested. He understood Xiaomeng’s desire to look beautiful, and she wouldn’t want to wear a wedding dress with a big belly.
“So what if she’s getting married with a big belly? Many people do it nowadays,” Mother He finally spoke up, but her words didn’t make anyone feel comfortable.
As soon as Ye Xiaomeng heard this, she froze. What did Mother He mean by that?
Did she want people to know that they got pregnant before getting married? This wouldn’t be good for Xiaomeng’s reputation.
Mother Ye’s expression changed when she heard this. She could tell from her words that Mother He didn’t think highly of her daughter.
She couldn’t help but feel angry. Her precious daughter shouldn’t be looked down upon like this.
If she disagreed, she would support her daughter for the rest of her life and wouldn’t let her suffer.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, He Ming quickly added, “Mom, let’s set the date soon. It’s not convenient for Xiaomeng with a big belly.”
He Ming was in a difficult position.
“Yes, let’s do it soon so everyone can be happy. You can take wedding photos later,” Daddy He knew that his wife was unhappy, so he quickly changed the subject to ease the tension.
“Yeah, let’s wait a few days until Xiaomeng isn’t so tired, and then we’ll go take the photos,” He Ming nodded. It was a good idea.
After everyone had finished discussing, they started eating.
Mother He still seemed distant, but Xiaomeng didn’t want to confront her.
During the meal, Xiaomeng’s appetite was affected by her mood, so He Ming, being attentive, called the waiters and asked them to bring some dishes that Xiaomeng liked, fearing she wouldn’t eat enough.
Mother He watched all this, becoming increasingly unhappy.
Was her son going to be like this in the future, always doting on Xiaomeng?
She worried that if she said something, it would be difficult to salvage the situation.
Finally, after much effort, everything was settled, and the meal was finished.
He Ming drove Xiaomeng’s parents back home, but Xiaomeng didn’t go with them for now. Things seemed stable, so she decided to stay a bit longer, delaying the wedding photo shoot.
Back home, Xiaomeng waved He Ming over. “It seems like your mom isn’t openly opposing, but she’s not showing support either. What do you think she means?”
Xiaomeng still felt uncomfortable. She could tolerate her mother-in-law’s usual behavior, but today, with her own parents present, it felt like too much. She didn’t want to engage in such behavior.
“If she’s agreed in principle, that’s a positive sign,” He Ming reassured her, sensing there might be some underlying issues.
“Okay, I’ll make an effort to be respectful to her in the future. Hopefully, things will change after the baby is born,” Xiaomeng sighed. Despite her biases, she respected He Ming’s mother because, after all, she was his mother.
“Thanks, Xiaomeng. But remember, just be yourself. There’s no need to go out of your way to please her and make yourself uncomfortable,” He Ming understood his mother’s personality well. She was kind-hearted but stubborn, and she needed to come to her own conclusions about things.
“Alright, I’ll keep that in mind. Now, let’s quickly find a place for the wedding shoot. I can’t wait to take some beautiful pictures,” Xiaomeng said excitedly.
“Are you feeling up to it physically?” He Ming asked with concern.
“I’m fine.”
