Hearing that the person brought back was Ye Ya, Du Huiru could hardly believe it. She suppressed her anger and asked again.
The driver nodded, knowing this matter had truly angered Madam. "If I’m not mistaken, that should be Miss Ye from the Ye Family."
Du Huiru's fingers trembled as she pointed, "Husband, look at our son! What kind of woman has he brought back? A woman like Ye Ya could never enter our home. If our son really marries her, it would tarnish the reputation of the Ye Family. What are we going to do about this?"
"Don't panic. I trust our son knows what he's doing. Besides, if things are really as they seem, you know his character; the more you push, the more he will resist." Ultimately, Lu Jianming was not as flustered as Du Huiru; perhaps things were not as dire as they appeared.
Ye Ya had just changed the baby's diaper. Both she and Lu Tianyang were new parents, feeling overwhelmed and anxious. Lu Tianyang was sweating with worry when his phone rang. Checking the caller ID, he raised an eyebrow and stepped out onto the balcony to answer.
"Hello, Mom," Lu Tianyang said.
"Come home for dinner tonight; I need to talk to you," Du Huiru replied, struggling to keep her emotions in check.
Lu Tianyang turned to look at Ye Ya, who was holding the baby. She had just moved in today. Although there was a nanny and a postpartum doula to help with the baby, he still felt uneasy.
"Mom, I have something on tonight; I'll come back tomorrow." He planned to discuss his intentions with them later and had no intention of hiding anything because he had already made up his mind to marry Ye Ya.
After hanging up, Lu Tianyang pondered whether his mother would agree to let Ye Ya into their home. If he had been there from the start, things wouldn’t have escalated like this. He lightly tapped the balcony railing in frustration.
Ye Ya watched Lu Tianyang's retreating figure. She truly couldn't understand this man. If it was out of responsibility, there was no need for it; she didn’t require that from him. If it was because he loved her—Ye Ya couldn't help but chuckle bitterly at the thought. What a ridiculous joke.
Lu Tianyang walked back in and asked, noticing her half-smile that seemed more like a smirk. He hated seeing her like this; it felt cold and uncomfortable. "What are you scheming now?"
As she folded the baby's clothes, Ye Ya replied, "I was thinking about why you’re doing this. If it's out of responsibility, there's really no need for it. And if it's love—do you even believe that?"
"You." Lu Tianyang had faced fierce opponents in business who wouldn’t dare challenge him but found this woman always managed to turn the tables on him. Did he love her? The very thought felt ironic; how could he possibly love her? It was absurd.
"Alright, you can leave now; I need to take a shower," Ye Ya said, looking at him as if the atmosphere in the room had suddenly become stifling.
"This is my room; why should I leave?" Lu Tianyang felt completely disregarded in her eyes and struggled to assert his dominance in their shared space.
"Then I'll take the baby and go out," Ye Ya said, crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow at him.
Indeed, Lu Tianyang's expression darkened even further. "Ye Ya, you're something else." In a fit of frustration, he grabbed her shoulders and kissed her suddenly. Even though Ye Ya was a black belt in Taekwondo, she never expected this beast would dare to kiss her.
"How dare you! I’m not a sick cat!" Ye Ya kicked out, and Lu Tianyang was caught off guard by her sudden fierceness. He quickly released her, exclaiming, "Ye Ya, are you trying to murder your husband?"
Ye Ya's movements were too abrupt, pulling at her wound. Her body hadn’t fully recovered yet, and now she grimaced as she sat down on the chair.
Seeing this, Lu Tianyang rushed over in concern. "What’s wrong?"
"I’m very unhappy with you. Just get lost! I don’t want to see you again," Ye Ya snapped.
"What happened? Just tell me!" Lu Tianyang looked at her pale face, feeling increasingly anxious.
"It’s nothing; I might have just overexerted myself and strained the wound," Ye Ya replied, wiping her mouth with her hand. This action displeased Lu Tianyang, but seeing her condition, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything more.
"Stay put; I’ll call the doctor to check on you. I’m sorry," Lu Tianyang said before striding out of the room. Ye Ya wanted to say it was fine, but he had already disappeared.
Eventually, the doctor came to examine her and advised that after giving birth, she needed to rest in bed and should avoid bathing for now; otherwise, she might suffer from rheumatism later on.
Now, Ye Ya's movement was limited to the bed. Besides using the restroom, Lu Tianyang had even hired a nurse to watch over her. This confinement during the postpartum period was quite bothersome, but Ye Ya understood it was for her own good. If she didn’t recover well after childbirth, it would be difficult to adjust later on. For the sake of her child, she knew she had to endure.
Things became a bit more enjoyable when Tao Momo arrived at Yiju Mountain Villa with a pile of things.
Upon entering Yiju Mountain Villa, Tao Momo was led in by the nurse and nearly gasped in surprise. Goodness! Even the handrails on the stairs were gold-plated—this was clearly a place for the wealthy.
"Xiao Ya, I’m so sorry for coming to see you so late! Oh, let me see my little goddaughter first." The little one was asleep, and Tao Momo carefully picked her up from the crib. She felt nervous about holding such a small baby.
"Xiao Ya, she’s so adorable! Baby, I’m your godmother," Tao Momo said proudly.
After a while of holding the baby, Tao Momo seemed satisfied and gently placed her back down to sleep. Ye Ya knew she had questions to ask and decided to take the initiative. "Mo Mo, it’s not that I wanted to come here; I was dragged here by that jerk Lu Tianyang."
Tao Momo sized her up and recalled how Lu Tianyang had looked at Ye Ya back at the restaurant. Indeed, there was no hatred without reason.
"Xiao Ya, how did you end up with Lu Tianyang as the father of your child? You never told me," Tao Momo asked. She had just returned from abroad not long ago and hadn’t heard about Ye Ya liking anyone. All she knew was that Ye Ya had a crush on Xiao Lin back in high school, but he had gone off to the military and lost contact.
"Mo Mo, it was actually an accident. My grandfather arranged for me to marry into the Jing family, but that playboy Jing Hao infuriated me! In a fit of anger, I went to a dazzling place and unexpectedly ran into Lu Tianyang. If I had known he was that devil, I would never have gone!" Ye Ya felt frustrated just thinking about that day’s events.
Just after finishing his words, a man returned, clearly having overheard Ye Ya. Both women instinctively turned to look at him, and Lu Tianyang's gaze towards Ye Ya was unmistakably displeased.
"Looks like you have a friend here. You two chat, and I'll have the kitchen prepare something for you," Lu Tianyang said, already formulating a plan. This woman was Ye Ya's good friend and also Tao Mama's daughter. He decided to gain the support of those around her first, then see if Ye Ya could escape from him later.
Tao Momo took another look at Lu Tianyang, and after he left, she nudged Ye Ya's arm. "Xiao Ya, it seems this man has some conscience. He's quite handsome and is Godmother's father. What do you think?"
"Mo Mo, have you looked into his background? Besides, Lu Tianyang is Jing Hao's cousin. I’ve seen him before at the Jing Family; his mother seems like a tough character too. I really don’t want to get caught up in that wealthy family whirlwind again. Besides, look at my past reports—would a family like his accept me and my child?" Ye Ya sighed as she thought about it.
Hearing Ye Ya’s words, Tao Momo nodded in agreement. "Right, it really wouldn’t be fair to him. If he truly loves you, he would find a way for his family to accept you. Anyway, our Moya Fashion Store is doing better and better; we don’t need to worry about my Godmother going hungry."
Tao Momo had grown up sheltered by her parents; she might not fully understand Ye Ya’s feelings as an illegitimate daughter raised in the Ye Family. For Ye Ya, she would rather have lived with her mother when she was young because her mother treated her like a treasure.
While dining together, the dinner was naturally quite lavish. Ye Ya sipped on the pig trotter ginger soup that Tao Momo had brought; although it didn’t taste great, it was the thought that counted.
As they were eating, Lu Tianyang’s phone rang. "Mom."
"Why aren’t you back yet? Dinner is waiting for you," Du Huiru said anxiously. She knew Lu Tianyang was at Yiju Mountain Villa; now he hadn’t even brought anyone back and had already captured her son’s heart. When she had arranged the engagement with Jing Hao, almost all their relatives knew about it. If everyone found out that her son’s fiancée was the woman who had been dumped by Jing Hao, how would she face them?
Lu Tianyang stepped outside with the phone in hand. "Mom, is there something urgent that requires me to come back?"
"Lu Tianyang, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. If you don’t come home tonight, just wait and see," Du Huiru bluntly stated.
"Mom, since you already know, I won’t hide it from you any longer. I’m planning to marry Ye Ya."
Both Ye Ya and Tao Momo heard this statement. Ye Ya thought to herself that this man really intended to marry someone like her.
"I’m telling you now; I don’t agree. If you want to marry her, then don’t come back," Du Huiru said angrily, nearly throwing her phone.
"Mom, I’ve made my decision on this matter. We can discuss the details when I get back. You all enjoy your meal without waiting for me," Lu Tianyang said, seeing that his mother was furious; there was no point in discussing it further since he had already made up his mind.
"Make sure to eat up! Xiao Ya, eat more; otherwise, what will my daughter drink?"
It must be admitted that Lu Tianyang treated Chen Chen very well, and Ye Ya chose not to say anything further. After dinner, Lu Tianyang even sent a driver to take Tao Momo home, which improved her impression of him even more. Before leaving, she warned him not to bully Ye Ya or he would regret it.
After sending Tao Momo off, Lu Tianyang returned to the room where Ye Ya was bathing the baby with the Postpartum Doula. The Postpartum Doula was very professional and had a solid approach to caring for the child. Ye Ya had many questions and often consulted the Doula for advice.
Here, both she and the baby received excellent care, but Ye Ya had already decided that after the baby’s first month, she would return to her own home.
Once they were done, Ye Ya thought for a moment and decided to have a serious talk with Lu Tianyang. He was the father of the child, and that was an undeniable fact.
“Lu Tianyang, we need to talk,” she said. In negotiations, Ye Ya was no stranger; she had been in the workplace long enough to hold her own.
“Sure, go ahead,” he replied as they both sat down. The atmosphere felt somewhat like a business meeting.
“Lu Tianyang, you know as well as I do that aside from Chen Chen, we have no other ties. I’ve thought about it, and I believe we should co-parent the child. You can visit her anytime, and when she grows up, I will tell her that you are her father. How does that sound?”
In truth, she wasn’t worried about him losing out on any inheritance from the Lu family; he wouldn’t have to bear much responsibility.
Listening to her thoughts, Lu Tianyang didn’t hesitate before responding, “I don’t agree.”
To hell with being considerate.
