Chapter 1835: Getting Married in Secret

But she also knew that Shen Zhilie was a stubborn mule . Just how was she going to convince him?

This problem was beginning to drive Old Mrs . Shen nuts . She stared at her grandson’s bedroom door and stomped her foot in exasperation .

Shen Longyue saw how his mother was behaving and stepped forward to persuade her . “Mom,” he said . “Our children’s lives are their own to lead . As elders, we shouldn’t interfere too much . ”

“I’m doing this for his own good! When have I ever harmed anyone from our family?” Old Mrs . Shen yelled in panic .

Shen Longyue didn’t say anything more . He tugged her along and said, “All right . It’s time to go to bed . The children need to sleep, too . ”

“But…”

“Come on . ”

Old Mrs . Shen had nothing to say in reply . She grudgingly walked off, turning back every three steps to look at Shen Zhilie’s door . Nevertheless, she finally made it back to her room .

Shen Longyue walked back to the couch . Mrs . Shen and Nanny He were already seated there . When she saw Shen Longyue approach, Mrs . Shen said, “It doesn’t look to me like this child will have a short life . Although I don’t understand how these things work, it’s pretty obvious that this lady has a face that signifies fortune . Her philtrum isn’t short, either . Why does Mom insist she’ll have a short lifespan?”

When Nanny He heard those words, she added in her opinion, “I think so, too . This girl is really mature and thoughtful . Furthermore, didn’t Old Mrs . Shen say that she won’t be able to give birth? Well, she’s pregnant now!”

Shen Longyue took a sip of tea and scoffed . “Do you really believe that? I’m pretty sure that’s something that Zhilie made up on the spot!”

Mrs . Shen honestly had her doubts, too . When she heard her husband voice her suspicions, she grew even more confident of her thoughts . “Why didn’t you say anything, then?” she asked .

“It’s our son’s life . Those decisions are for him to make . As elders, all we should do is support him in his choices . ” Shen Longyue put his teacup down . “It’s rare that our son has fallen so deeply for a girl . And personally, I like her too . I feel that it would be inappropriate to let Mom have her way . ”

“Exactly! Didn’t she say that Miss Manting would be full of fortune? Ultimately, she ended up being…” Nanny He suddenly realized that her words were inappropriate, and her speech trailed off . But after some thought, she spoke up again . “Having to eke out a living while pregnant and alone in this world is very difficult! How is that fortunate? Miss Manting had such a hard life growing up . Her life was supposed to change for the better upon coming here, but look what happened . ”

Shen Longyue lit a cigarette and frowned, but didn’t say anything further .

Mrs . Shen sighed and said, “Perhaps Manting’s fortune just isn’t here yet . ”

“She’s already thirty! Almost half her life is already over! If she has to wait any longer, her whole life will be over!”

Nanny He pulled no punches with her words . The whole place grew quiet .

In his bedroom, Shen Zhilie pulled Ye Qianqian in and locked the door behind him . The room had been burning with passion moments before, but, after the ruckus, the mood had disappeared .

Ye Qianqian held her belly and asked, “When did I get pregnant?”

“Starting now . ” Shen Zhilie sat on the bed and said, “If you aren’t at the moment, we’ll make a baby . As long as you’re willing to marry me and start a family with me, let’s speed things up . Let’s register our marriage tomorrow . ”

“Tomorrow is a weekend . ”

“We’ll go on Monday, then!”

“I have to go back to Kingstown . My ticket has already been purchased…”

“Have it refunded . We’ll go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs . Take a one day’s leave from work . ” Shen Zhilie stood up and hugged her waist . He kissed her on her lips and said, “I’m sorry that you had to go through that just now . I didn’t expect my grandmother to say those things . ”

Ye Qianqian smiled humorlessly . “I prepared myself mentally beforehand . Youyou was treated so badly by your grandmother in the past, there was no reason that I’d get a free pass . Now we have it confirmed—it’s not going to be smooth-sailing . ”
