"You want to get rid of the baby you're carrying?
"I'll discuss it with you first. If you still don't want it, I'll respect your decision." She was the mother, and she had the right to make that choice.
Just as Qin Yige was about to speak, he said again, "You're still young and don't think things through. I'll give you advice."
For example, if she was pregnant and didn't want the child, he would advise her to keep it.
"I'm almost 25, don't call me young anymore." She was a little indignant, as if he thought she was still a teenager.
He didn't say anything. In his eyes, she was still a child.
A moment later, Shang Sheng went to his study to work, and Qin Yige fell asleep on her own.
The wedding photo shoot went smoothly. All the series were completed in three days, and then the photographer had to rush to develop the photos.
The only thing Qin Yige was not satisfied with was that Shang Sheng didn't smile much throughout the shoot. Fortunately, he was very photogenic, which made up for his lack of smiling.
As soon as the wedding photos were done, Shang Sheng went on a business trip.
Since the old lady had instructed him not to arrange any business trips for him, Shang Sheng had not traveled for work at all. This time, however, he had to go.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Yige returned to the Qin family.
She didn't know what she would find until she got there, and she was shocked.
The first-floor living room of the Qin residence was filled with gifts, all of which were betrothal gifts from the Shang family.
There were also jewelry and ornaments, all kept in her room.
Due to the high value of the jewelry, Qin Shirao had hired several bodyguards to guard the villa around the clock.
Qin Yige ate the food her mother made and was extremely happy. "Mom, why don't you come and live with us when the time comes? That way, I can eat your cooking every day."
Xia Lanqing shook her head helplessly. "You're already married, why are you still like a child? Didn't Xiao Sheng hire a chef?"
"He did, and the cooking is very good." But she preferred her mother's cooking.
"Then that's that."
Qin Yige didn't say anything more and continued to eat.
"After the wedding ceremony, you'll officially be married into the Shang family. Be more mature from now on, don't be willful, and don't let others say you're like a child anymore. Mrs. Shang should look like Mrs. Shang, understand?"
Qin Yige: "People have their own mouths, they can say whatever they want. I'll do whatever I want."
Xia Lanqing: "..."
Her daughter was truly spoiled by Qin Shirao.
"Mom is asking you, how has Shang Sheng been treating you lately?"
Living together was like drinking water; one knew its warmth or coldness.
On the surface, they seemed to be doing well. Yige had changed a lot since she came back, not in personality, but in her demeanor.
Her skin was so fair and rosy without makeup that even her mother envied it.
Perhaps it was the transition from a young girl to a woman.
She just didn't know how things were going on the inside.
"Do you think he dares to treat my daughter badly? He's afraid of Grandma Shang, and he's afraid I'll complain to Grandma Shang!" She said this with great pride.
If she complained to Grandma Shang, she would be absolutely right, and Shang Sheng would be the one to get scolded!
"You, on the other hand, can't become spoiled and willful just because of the old lady's favor."
"Got it!" Qin Yige replied casually.
Xia Lanqing looked at her carefree daughter and sighed again. "I wish you and Xiao Sheng could develop feelings for each other faster."
Then, if they had a baby, Yige would truly secure her position as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shang family.
However, as a mother, she knew her daughter's capabilities very well. She was used to being willful, so if she were to hand Shang Sheng a divorce agreement one day, she wouldn't be surprised.
"It's not easy to cultivate feelings, Mom. Be thankful that we can get along peacefully right now!"
Xia Lanqing: "..."
These words were very honest, so honest that they were heartbreaking.
But in the current situation, she was already very satisfied. It was much smoother than they had expected.
The Shang family also gave the Qin family face. Even though the Qin family was marrying up, all the proper etiquette and respect were still there.
Even if the two children remained courteous to each other in the future, as long as there were no conflicts, everything would be fine.
Xia Lanqing thought for a moment. "I think Shang Sheng treats you very well."
"You think he treats me very well, yet you're asking me how he treats me?" Qin Yige was a little confused by her line of reasoning.
"After asking, I regretted it. It would have been better not to ask you, then you wouldn't have said a single good word about him."
Qin Yige: "..."
Is this a real mother?
Xia Lanqing's gaze fell on her hand. "How much did that ring on your hand cost?"
Qin Yige took a bite of a chicken wing and mumbled, "It wasn't much."
She was afraid her mother would beat her to death.
"How much is 'not much'?"
"It's just a little money."
Xia Lanqing glared at her. "Do you think your mother doesn't know good quality?"
It was at least tens of millions, possibly even fifty million.
Qin Yige couldn't hide it anymore. She pouted and gave a number: "Almost... a hundred million."
This number made Xia Lanqing gasp. Suppressing the urge to hit her, she gritted her teeth and said, "My daughter is truly extravagant!"
"Mom, I'm much better than him!"
"It's not me saying this, but why did you ask Shang Sheng for so many jewelry and ornaments? If you asked for them, fine. They've already sent so many sets, why did you buy more yourself? They're not consumables." Xia Lanqing's heart ached when she saw the sets of jewelry.
If she had a son and the other party asked for so many ornaments, she wouldn't refuse to give them, but she would definitely discuss converting them into cash for them.
Shang Sheng was truly easy to talk to, agreeing to Yige's requests without a second thought.
"Let me tell you, he also bought me a diamond ring, which is definitely more expensive than this one, and he bought it after I bought this one. You go scold him!"
Xia Lanqing: "Hey, you child, that's Shang Sheng's own money. It's not my place as a mother-in-law to interfere!"
"Then don't scold me either. He told me to spend it."
"Then let me ask you again, I heard Shang Sheng bought you all the clothes in a clothing store. This is... a lie, right?" She didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking that people were deliberately slandering her daughter.
Qin Yige blinked. "It's true. I didn't ask him to buy them, he insisted on buying them for me!"
Xia Lanqing clutched her heart and couldn't say a word.
The list of gifts from the Shang family had already been hard for her to accept, and now two nine-digit diamond rings had appeared, and clothes were bought as if wholesale.
"Qin Yige, how many days have you been married? I think only Shang Sheng can support you. You must live well and absolutely cannot have thoughts of divorce."
Good heavens, let this couple be locked in forever!
So that her daughter wouldn't come back to wreak havoc on their Qin family.
"It depends on his performance. If he continues to treat me this well, I'll settle for living with him. If he even slightly wrongs me—"
"You can tolerate it a little."
Qin Yige shook her head. "That won't do. I can't accept even the slightest bit of grievance."
"Mom thinks that living together is not easy. It's okay if you suffer a little grievance, as long as Shang Sheng doesn't make any fundamental mistakes."
Marriage is not easy; how could it be smooth sailing?
Qin Yige: "???"
What did she mean by "it's okay if you suffer a little grievance"? Is that something a real mother would say?
"Mom, tell me the truth, is Shang Sheng your biological son, and Qin Yige your daughter-in-law?"
