Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

"And then? Keep going."

Lin Yi leaned forward, staring straight at Lin Guochang, his chin slightly raised, with a bit of urgency and unquestionable intent, and he urged his father not to keep him in suspense and to continue.

Seeing this, Lin Guochang felt a mixture of anger and amusement, and couldn't help but complain:

"Rebellious son! I ended up like this because of you, and you are so calm. Aren't you worried about your father going to jail?"

As he said this, he slapped his thigh in pretended grief, his brows furrowed, his eyes full of anger at his son's "indifferent" attitude.

"But if that were the case, you wouldn't be here."

Lin Yi was not in a hurry. He leaned back and sat steadily on the sofa. One hand lazily supported the side of his face, his elbow resting on the armrest of the sofa, and the other hand gently held An Qing's medical report. His fingers tapped the paper from time to time, with a firm look on his face, analyzing clearly and logically,

"And my mother will be even less likely to get pregnant. If you were really put in jail, our family life would be in chaos, and there would be no happy event like this."

Lin Guochang's eyelids jumped suddenly, and he was choked by his son's words and was speechless for a moment.

He secretly clicked his tongue, thinking that this kid was too smart. He knew his temper and style of doing things very well and could see through his thoughts at a glance. Such a thorough understanding, he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Just like this time, I wanted to keep it a secret and make him nervous, but I didn't expect that he would see through the truth in just a few words.

Indeed, it was as accurate as Lin Yi guessed.

The matter was kept strictly secret from beginning to end, and the only people who knew about it were China's Four Heavenly Kings, the Champion, and a handful of people at the core of the alliance who were well versed in the secrets.

It was also because of this that the situation did not get out of control like a wild horse. The alliance weighed the pros and cons, considered it again and again, and took into account Lin Guochang's past achievements, his original intention, and the reasons for the incident. In the end, they let him off the hook and did not let him go to jail.

Moreover, as Lin Guochang's close friend for many years and a brother who fought side by side with him, how could Ruan Tianli watch him go to jail?

Both in public and in private, we must do our best to deal with and protect him.

Furthermore, the loss of one of the top trainers in the United States is not a bad thing for China from the perspective of regional competition.

Prior to this, the two of the Four Heavenly Kings of Laomei, together with Connor, had intruded into Chinese territory without permission, wantonly provoking trouble and trampling on the rules. China had not yet had time to settle accounts for such evil deeds.

This incident can be regarded as settling some old scores and bringing about a subtle change in the situation.

"Then how did you suddenly think of having another child?"

Lin Yi asked curiously, with a hint of doubt and confusion in his eyes.

"I remember you once swore that if my birth wasn't an accident, you wouldn't have planned to have children after you got married! What happened in the meantime that made you change your mind?"

Lin Guochang raised his head slightly, and his eyes unconsciously glanced at An Qing beside him. A hint of embarrassment appeared on his face. He coughed lightly and said slowly:

"Well... this is what happened. In the room that the Alliance arranged for us, your mother accidentally found the divorce agreement that I had secretly prepared before. As a result, she flew into a rage and started arguing with me..."

At this point, Lin Guochang paused for a moment, as if he was still frightened by the intense quarrel at that time. He then shook his head helplessly and continued:

"Then we kept arguing and ended up in bed. Anyway, in the end, it was all muddled together and somehow it became what you see now. But to be honest, I was the one who was forced!"

After saying that, he did not forget to cast a slightly aggrieved look at An Qing.

“Hmmmm~~”

An Qing nestled comfortably in a corner of the sofa, her long legs elegantly crossed and her legs raised, a carefree smile on her lips, her eyes slightly narrowed, immersed in the little tune she was humming.

She looked so relaxed, as if she was isolated from all the troubles around her, and seemed to be deaf to what others said, pretending not to hear them at all.

"But now, Mom, you can finally take a break and stop studying."

Ruan Yaoyao walked slowly to the sofa and sat down next to An Qing. Her tone was as gentle as the spring breeze, full of concern and expectation.

She thought that during her pregnancy, An Qing should stop her busy research and take good care of her body.

But as soon as these words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became subtle.

The leisurely expression on An Qing's face froze in an instant, the smile on the corners of her mouth became a little forced, a hint of embarrassment crept up her cheek like a wisp of smoke, her eyes began to dodge, and she didn't dare to look others in the eye.

Looking at Lin Guochang again, he had originally been hoping that his wife could rest assured and take care of the pregnancy, but now he frowned slightly and sighed helplessly. His expression was like a bystander who had foreseen trouble but was powerless to stop it.

"Hey, Mom, you're not still planning on doing research, are you?!"

When Lin Yi heard the noise, he suddenly raised his head and looked at An Qing, his words full of doubt.

An Qing's embarrassment became more obvious when she was questioned by Lin Yi. She coughed lightly, trying to hide her inner panic. Her eyes wandered for a few times before she pretended to be calm and spoke:

"Oh, son, what you said is true. How can I not put my health and baby first? It's just that this research has reached a critical point. I will just ask a little bit. I promise it won't be a waste of time and effort."

Lin Guochang listened from the side, his face full of helplessness and worry.

He felt that he was powerless to dissuade them, so he looked at Lin Yi, Ruan Yaoyao and the others for help. His eyes were full of earnestness, as if he was silently shouting:

"Help me persuade her!"

Several people received Lin Guochang's "signal", understood what he meant, and quickly exchanged glances. They reached a tacit understanding through their eye contact.

Then, they shouted in unison and with absolute certainty: "No!"

When An Qing heard everyone say "No" in unison, her expression froze, with a bit of unwillingness and stubbornness still on her face, and she was about to open her mouth to refute.

Lin Yi took a quick step in front of her, squatted down, held his mother's hands with both hands, with a sincere face and worried eyes:

"Mom, please listen to me this time. Things are different now. All research has to be put on hold. You have to take good care of yourself and stay healthy, otherwise I'll be worried."

Ruan Yaoyao hurried over and sat down next to An Qing. She gently took her arm and shook it affectionately, saying coquettishly, "

Mom, just rest assured. Scientific research is never finished, but the baby's growth is only this once. You always worry about us, now it's our turn to take care of you. Your assistant will definitely be able to handle the follow-up work, so don't worry about that critical node, and take good care of the baby. "

Mi Yu stood aside, clutching the corner of his clothes with both hands, his face flushed. He finally mustered up the courage and whispered:

"Aunt An, you...you must take care of yourself. Lin Yi is looking forward to having brothers and sisters. If you get too tired, he will be sad."

Ye Feng strode forward, patted his chest, and spoke in a rough but sincere voice:

"Auntie An, we can't be confused! Think about it, you have been working day and night for research.

Now that you are pregnant, don't bother with those things. If something goes wrong, your whole family is counting on the new life to bring more joy. You should just stay at home and rest."

"Hey hey hey!"

The servant also jumped in front of An Qing, made a series of anxious calls, and considerately handed her a soft pillow so that An Qing could lean on it more comfortably.

An Qing looked at the sincere and anxious faces around her, listened to the heartwarming advice, her eyes gradually moistened, her entanglement and reluctance slowly faded, she smiled helplessly and relievedly:

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. You all care about me so much, it would be unreasonable for me to be stubborn. I'll just focus on taking care of the baby during this time."

Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.
