Chapter 231 I'd have to be crazy to have your child!
Hearing the old man's words, Yu Yuetong felt a little displeased. The old man's words were too harsh. What did he mean by "if you don't listen to a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit"? So in his eyes, she only had these two paths to choose from?
“Grandpa,” Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, “My relationship with Aren is still very fragile. It would be too hasty to have a child now. Besides, my career is on the rise right now, and I don’t want to give it up for the time being.”
The old man sneered, "Weak feelings? Ha, don't think I don't know what's going on between you two! It's a business marriage, each getting what they want! You really think you've risen to a high position? Let me tell you, Yu girl, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't even be qualified to enter the Qin family!"
Yu Yuetong's face paled. The old man's words pierced through her facade and revealed the reality she least wanted to face. Yes, her marriage to Qin Reng was filled with calculation and manipulation from the very beginning; where was there any affection to speak of?
Upon seeing this, Qin Reng's face also darkened. "Grandpa, what you're saying is going too far! My marriage with Tongtong is a matter between the two of us, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!"
"Shut up!" the old man roared. "You still have the nerve to protect her! If it weren't for you, would she even be allowed into the Qin family?! Do you know that if it weren't for me, your eldest brother would have married her long ago!"
The air seemed to freeze, and Yu Yuetong felt it becoming difficult to breathe. The old man's words exploded in her mind like a bomb, making her realize that she had overlooked a very important issue: the fiancé the Qin family had originally arranged for her was Qin Yu!
In other words, if it weren't for Old Madam Qin's interference, she would be Qin Yu's wife now!
Yu Yuetong suddenly turned her head to look at Qin Yu, only to find him looking at her with a meaningful gaze, a gaze full of mockery and amusement.
"So that's how it is..." Yu Yuetong murmured to herself, a chill creeping up from the soles of her feet. She felt like a clown being toyed with by fate, both laughable and pathetic.
Qin Reng also realized the seriousness of the matter. He grabbed Yu Yuetong's hand and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, no matter what you say, Tongtong and I are already husband and wife. If you insist on forcing us to divorce, then I have no choice but to leave the Qin family."
The old man was so angry that he was trembling all over, pointing at Qin Reng but unable to speak.
Just then, Qin's mother, Han Shuang, who had been silent all along, spoke up. "Dad, calm down. Aren and Tongtong have only been married for a short time, and you're already pressuring them to have a child. Isn't that a bit too hasty? Why not give them some more time to get to know each other and build up their relationship? Maybe they'll want a child on their own without you even having to say anything."
As Han Shuang spoke, she winked at Yu Yuetong. Yu Yuetong quickly seized the opportunity, "Yes, Grandpa, Areng and I will try our best."
The old man snorted coldly, "Work hard? I think you're just asking for trouble! Fine, since you're not in a hurry, I'll give you some more time. But don't blame me for not warning you, if there's no good news by the end of this year, don't blame me for being impolite!"
After saying that, the old man turned and left. Qin Xian glared at Qin Reng and followed him away.
Ji Momo covered her mouth and chuckled, "Big brother and sister-in-law are really so loving, it's truly enviable." As she spoke, her eyes sparkled, and her gaze towards Qin Reng was full of provocation.
Yu Yuetong responded with a forced smile, "Miss Ji, you flatter me. Aren and I are naturally a loving couple." She emphasized the word "loving" to assert her ownership.
Ji Momo smiled meaningfully, then turned and left.
In the car, Yu Yuetong remained silent, her face terribly gloomy.
Qin Reng sighed, breaking the silence. "Don't take today's events to heart. The old man is getting on in years, and his words can sometimes be a bit extreme."
Yu Yuetong sneered, "Extremist? Which eye of his saw us as a loving couple? It's clearly a business marriage!"
Qin Reng frowned. "Even if it's a business marriage, it's a fait accompli now. Instead of getting angry here, you should think of a way to deal with the old man."
Yu Yuetong scratched her hair in frustration. "Deal with it? How am I supposed to deal with it? Am I really supposed to have your baby?"
Qin Reng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile. "It's not impossible."
Yu Yuetong turned her head sharply, staring at him with wide eyes, "What did you say?!"
Qin Reng coughed lightly and said in a serious tone, "What I mean is, if you really want to have a child, I won't object."
Yu Yuetong rolled her eyes. "I'd be crazy to have your child!" She paused, then gritted her teeth and said, "And another thing, you're not allowed to use my body to seduce other women again!"
Thinking about the way Ji Momo looked at Qin Reng, Yu Yuetong felt a surge of irritation. Although she knew Qin Reng was just putting on an act, she couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
Qin Reng raised an eyebrow. "When did I use your body to seduce women?"
Yu Yuetong pointed at him, annoyed, "Today! Just now! The way Ji Momo looked at you was like she was about to pounce on you and devour you!"
Qin Reng looked completely innocent. "What does that have to do with me? It's not like I provoked her."
Yu Yuetong took a deep breath, trying to calm her anger. "But that's my body! I don't want her to misunderstand! I don't want others to think we're in that kind of relationship!"
Qin Reng shrugged. "The innocent are innocent. Isn't it enough to clear up the misunderstanding?"
Yu Yuetong was almost laughing in exasperation at him. "Untie it? You make it sound so easy! Go explain it to Ji Momo! See if she'll believe you!"
Qin Reng's lips curled into a playful smile. "How about... you give it a try?"
Yu Yuetong glared at him, "I can't be bothered with you!" She turned her head to the window and ignored him.
The two did not exchange any further words along the way.
After returning home, Yu Yuetong went straight into her room and slammed the door shut. Qin Reng stood in the living room, shaking his head helplessly.
In the room, Yu Yuetong collapsed onto the bed, feeling utterly exhausted. She hadn't expected that the body swapping was bad enough, but now she also had to face pressure from the old man and the watchful eyes of Ji Momo.
Suddenly, she remembered what Ji Momo had said before she left, "Big brother and sister-in-law are really loving..."
Affectionate? That word sounds like a joke when applied to her and Qin Reng.
Just then, my phone rang. It was a text message from an unknown number:
"Ms. Yu, would you be interested in having a chat?"
Yu Yuetong paused for a moment, then replied, "Who are you?"
"My name is Ji Momo."
Yu Yuetong's pupils contracted slightly, and an ominous premonition welled up in her heart.
Meanwhile, Qin Reng sat in his study, rubbing his temples. Today's events were more troublesome than he had imagined. He had to find a way to appease the old man, otherwise his arranged marriage with Yu Yuetong could be exposed at any moment.
At this moment, the computer notified me of a new email.
