Chapter 249: Confession Competition

Translator: Lonelytree 

Bang! Bang!

There was the sound of someone knocking on the door.

Mother Xiao got up to open the courtyard door. Seeing Old Master Gong and his grandson, she invited them in.

When Gong Tianhao and his grandson walked into the house, they heard Xiao Lingyu’s rejection of Yan Siming.

The corners of the grandfather and grandson’s mouths twitched involuntarily.

Yan Siming had said those words to Xiao Lingyu before. What a horrible man!

Xiao Lingyu was using his words to reject him.

“Haha. Xiao Yan, you said that you were here to see me. So why are you here instead?” Old Master Gong suddenly laughed out loud and said, “This old man has to come to find you instead.”

When Yan Zheng saw Old Master Gong, his expression immediately became extremely excited, and his eyes filled with hot tears.

He tottered over to Old Master Gong with his walking stick in hand, and tears began to fall from his eyes.

“Old Chief…” He threw his walking stick aside and hugged Old Master Gong. Crying, he said, “Old Chief, it’s great to see you again!”

Everyone,”…”

Who are you? Why are you suddenly crying like a child?

Old Master Gong hugged Yan Zheng and said with a smile, “Xiao Yan, you’re already someone’s grandfather. Why are you still such a crybaby?”

Old Master Yan said, “I was too excited to see you, so I couldn’t help but cry.”

The Yan siblings, “…” Grandpa, we have no idea you’re a crybaby.

Old Master Gong said, “Yeah. I didn’t expect to see you again either.”

They hadn’t seen each other for decades.

“Old Chief, I’m relieved to see that you’re in good health,” Old Master Yan said while crying. He knew that his old chief had been shot, and the bullet was lodged at the edge of his heart. At that time, there was no way to remove the bullet without great risks.

Old Master Gong nodded and said, “My health has been getting better after I moved to Taoyuan Village! Xiao Yan, you’re faring quite well yourself.”

Old Master Yan nodded and said, “This is all thanks to old leader’s care in the past!” When he was with Old Master Gong, he was responsible for backline support. Therefore, he wasn’t exposed to serious injuries. On the contrary, it was Old Master Gong who had suffered a few serious gunshot wounds. Fortunately, he had survived.

“Grandfathers, you should sit down first!” Gong Tianhao said. The elders were old. They should pay attention to their health.

When Xiao Zhengyang and his wife heard that Old Master Yan called Old Master Gong old chief, they were surprised. They might be uneducated, but they still knew the term, chief. Usually, only the generals in the military would be called chiefs. They had seen it on the television before.

But they didn’t say anything.

Mother Xiao turned around and went to prepare a cup of tea.

Xiao Zhengyang said, “Elders, please have a seat!”

After the two old men sat down, they started to reminisce about the past. No one else could join in.

The Yan Siblings stood to the side earlier when Old Master Yan was there to propose marriage. However, now that Old Master Gong was there, they sat down at the table.

At this round table, the two old men sat at the head while the two young men sat beside them.

Gong Tianhao, who was sitting next to his grandfather, had a glint in his eyes before he commented with a smile, “Mr. Yan, so that was your impression of Lingyu.”

The corner of Yan Siming’s mouth twitched. He did not know how to answer. Back then, he wanted to get close to Xiao Lingyu, but Xiao Lingyu resisted him. Therefore, he had said a lot of derogatory words to her.

He did not expect that these words would become Xiao Lingyu’s reason to reject him. He was also very surprised.

Yan Siming smiled and said, “Mr. Gong, you also know that Lingyu and I are friends. Those are just jokes.” At this point, he turned to look at Xiao Lingyu and said helplessly, “Lingyu, I was just joking with you. You took it too seriously.”

Without waiting for Xiao Lingyu to speak, Gong Tianhao grinned and began to mock him. He said, “A joke? Mr. Yan, are you a three-year-old child? Otherwise, how could you not know the harm of verbal bullying? Conceited ugly duckling? However, compared to you, most women are indeed ugly ducklings.”

Everyone, “…” Okay, this man holds nothing back either. He’s implying that Yan Siming is prettier than most women.

No matter how well-mannered Yan Siming was, he would be angry after being taunted like this.

His face darkened, and he said sternly, “Mr. Gong, do you not understand English? I’ve already told you that was a joke between Lingyu and me. Plus, who are you to take offense on Lingyu’s behalf? Who are you to Lingyu?”

That shot into Gong Tianhao’s heart.

Then, Gong Tianhao said very frankly, “I might not mean anything to Lingyu now, but I’ll feature prominently in her future. Because I plan to pursue her and get her to marry me!” Gong Tianhao said this very confidently.

Apart from Old Master Gong, everyone’s mouths were wide open in shock.

The apple in Xiao Lingyu’s hand instantly fell to the ground. This time, her expression was one of shock and astonishment, and there was even a hint of panic and uneasiness in her eyes.

She did not expect that Gong Tianhao’s motive for coming to the Taoyuan Village this time was her.

At that moment, a thought flashed through Xiao Lingyu’s mind. ‘Is he doing this because he knows the child in my stomach is his? With his status, it will be a piece of cake for him to investigate what had happened back then. Gong Tianhao wants to pursue me due to the child in my stomach? No! The child is mine. No one can take Xiao Tong away from me!’

Xiao Lingyu could not help but touch her stomach. She lowered her eyes, and her expression was serious.

Gong Tianhao had been observing her. His eyes flashed, and he immediately understood that Xiao Lingyu might have guessed the truth.

There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes, but there was nothing he could do.

He was too impatient!

He should have taken it step by step to move Xiao Lingyu. However, when he heard that the Yan Family had come to propose marriage, he was instantly flustered.

The arrow had been fired. There was no turning back.

In that case, there was no need to hide it anymore. If he expressed his intention openly, he might get more support.

Yan Siming became anxious. He was unwilling to fall behind and also confessed, “Xiao Lingyu, listen carefully. This time, I’m serious. I like you. I’ve liked you for a few months. I’m sincere in wanting to marry you.”

As soon as Yan Siming finished speaking, the entire house fell silent.

No one expected this to turn into a love confession competition.

The people who confessed to Xiao Lingyu were two outstanding men.

Xiao Zhengyang and Chen Qiuying did not know what to do with this scene.

First, they had to deal with Yan Siming. Xiao Lingyu had told them that Yan Siming was interested in her, but not to the extent of wanting to marry her. Yan Siming had asked Xiao Lingyu to be his lover two or three times, but Xiao Lingyu had rejected him every time. Yan Siming had helped the Xiao Family many times, but he didn’t force Xiao Lingyu to be his lover. He even said that they were ordinary friends.

So, where did this marriage proposal come from?

However, the real surprise was Gong Tianhao. After Old Master Gong settled down in Taoyuan Village, Gong Tianhao rarely came. Even if he did, he would leave in a hurry. He had no contact with Xiao Lingyu at all.

So, why was he confessing his love?

Xiao Zhengyang and his wife looked at Gong Tianhao suspiciously and then at Yan Siming. Both of their hearts were in turmoil.

Then, they looked at their daughter, who was dumbstruck.

The couple looked at each other and then blinked their eyes in tacit understanding.

Mother Xiao immediately asked with concern, “Yu ‘Er, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Lingyu came to her senses and said with tears in her eyes, “Mom, my stomach hurts!”

For some reason, the child was kicking around in her stomach, causing her to feel pain.

Was Xiao Tong too excited after hearing his father’s words?

When everyone heard that Xiao Lingyu had a stomachache, they immediately asked nervously, “Your stomach hurts?”

Old Master Gong was especially nervous. He turned to Gong Tianhao and shouted, “What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and send the girl to the hospital! This is not a small matter for a pregnant woman!”

Gong Tianhao got up and walked to Xiao Lingyu’s side. He was about to bend down and carry Xiao Lingyu again.

Xiao Lingyu took two steps back in panic and refused, “No… I don’t need to go to the hospital. You… you don’t have to carry me.”

Gong Tianhao’s cold face frowned when he was rejected by Xiao Lingyu. He said very seriously, “It’s very dangerous for pregnant women to have stomachaches. You have to go to the hospital!”

After saying that, he bent down.

“Wait,” Xiao Lingyu said nervously and somewhat anxiously, “My… My stomach doesn’t hurt anymore. I don’t have to go to the hospital.”

Old Master Gong heard this and said seriously, “Lingyu, you can’t joke about this. If your stomach really hurts, you have to go to the hospital.”

Mother Xiao agreed, “Yu ‘Er, the old master is right. You can’t joke about this. If your stomach hurts, you need to go to the hospital.”

Xiao Lingyu took a deep breath and said, “Grandpa, Mom, don’t worry. I’m really fine. My stomach hurt because the child kicked me hard. I’m fine now. But, Mom, I’m a little tired. I’ll go back to my room to rest for a while.”

Then, she left.

Mother Xiao said to the people present, “I’ll send the child back to her room!”

After the two of them left, the place was silent.

Yan Ruyu, who was watching from the side, carefully looked at the others. Then, she carefully glanced at her grandfather and swallowed her saliva. ‘This Xiao Lingyu is really charming. Even if she is pregnant with an illegitimate child, she manages to make two outstanding young men confess to her on the spot.’ If it were her, she would be so happy.

However, Yan Ruyu glanced at her grandfather, who had been silent the entire time, and felt sympathy for her cousin. ‘It’ll be hard for Brother to marry Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu is resistant, and Grandpa won’t allow it. If it weren’t for the presence of Old Master Gong, Grandpa would have exploded in a temper already.’

Old Master Gong looked at Yan Siming and then at Yan Zheng.

Old Master Gong immediately smiled and said to Xiao Zhengyang, “Zhengyang, my brat really likes your girl. You won’t stop him from pursuing your girl, right?”

Since his grandson had already confessed, he had to help him. Of course, he also wanted to meet his great-grandson as soon as possible.

Xiao Zhengyang was shocked.

He assumed Old Master Gong would stop Gong Tianhao. After all, normally, a father would stop their son from marrying a girl carrying a child with an unknown father.

So what was really happening?
