Chapter 1326 - 1318: Let's Just Dual Cultivate
Song Xiaodong was immediately a little embarrassed, and said: "I forgot about that, let me give you a massage, I guarantee you won't feel uncomfortable anymore today."
He Lingzhi raised her chin and said, "Hum, that's what you should do. You caused the trouble, so who else should solve it?"
The two of them got dressed and went downstairs, where He Lingzhi's parents were already sitting in the living room. Seeing her parents, He Lingzhi's face immediately turned red. Coming out of the room so openly with Song Xiaodong, anyone would know that the two of them stayed together last night.
He Lingzhi's parents didn't say anything, and Mother He said, "It's not early anymore, Patriarch Song, you better go back to tidy up, Lingzhi here also needs to do her makeup."
Song Xiaodong couldn't help but feel a bit awkward too, and quickly slipped away. After all, it happened right under her parents' noses, taking their daughter like that, even if they were engaged, it still felt rather uncomfortable.
"Hehe... Our Lingzhi has finally grown up." Mother He looked at He Lingzhi, her face showing a smile at this moment.
He Lingzhi felt even more embarrassed, opened her mouth wanting to explain, but felt that it couldn't be explained at all, so with a thick skin said: "It was all because that guy wouldn't leave." Directly blaming Song Xiaodong.
"What's there to be embarrassed about?" Mother He smiled gently, holding her daughter's hand, said: "You will be husband and wife in the future, whatever you do is normal, Mom also hopes you can have a child soon, by the way, you haven't used contraception, have you?"
"Ah, no..." He Lingzhi's eyes suddenly widened, her voice a bit scared: "I won't get pregnant from just once, will I?"
Mother He, however, grinned and said: "It's good there was no contraception, getting pregnant is a good thing, you're not young anymore, you should have a child."
"Come on! I never thought about wanting to have a child, okay?" He Lingzhi's face turned frighteningly dark.
Mother He showed a stern face and said: "What nonsense are you talking about, you are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Su family's sect leader, of course you need to have children early to secure your position. Do you want to wait for others to all have children before you do, what position would you have in the Su family then?"
"I don't care about position or whatever..." He Lingzhi mumbled quietly but seeing her mother's stern face, she said: "Alright, alright, if there is, I'll keep it, okay?"
"That's more like it." Mother He's expression eased a little.
He Lingzhi, however, felt quite indifferent in her heart, having her bear a child now was definitely not acceptable, pursuing martial arts was what she truly loved. If she were pregnant, she couldn't do anything for several months, and once the child was born, having that little thing clinging to her, she really wouldn't be able to do anything anymore. Thinking about that kind of life, He Lingzhi couldn't help but shiver.
"That bastard, didn't even think about this last night, didn't he know this could get me pregnant?" He Lingzhi was filled with complaints toward Song Xiaodong.
He Lingzhi did want to find a morning-after pill to take, but in today's situation, there was no way she could sneak out, and she didn't know which sister in the family might have such a thing. Besides, even if she knew who did, it probably wouldn't be given to her, after all, she was involved with Song Xiaodong, her fiancé, taking contraception on the sly, if her mother found out, that sister would surely be scolded severely.
He Lingzhi could only abandon this idea, secretly praying in her heart, hoping she wouldn't hit the mark on the first shot. No, last night, who knows how many shots there were already, hopefully Song Xiaodong's marksmanship wasn't good, and all the shots missed.
The He family was really bustling today; they sent out lots of engagement invitations, covering almost the entire Beijing family circle.
Given the current status of the He family, small families were certainly eager to support the event, and even those top-ranking families, also needed to come over, as it's a basic courtesy.
Since this affair was being led by the He family, Song Xiaodong didn't have to come out to greet the guests, it was all the He family hosting the guests, while he waited in the backyard for the auspicious time to come out for an engagement ceremony.
And the Su family, they were also assisting the He family in their busy preparations, even Song Xiaoru and the others were the same, only Song Xiaodong was left all alone here.
With some free time left, Song Xiaodong couldn't help but feel a bit bored, so he went to the villa's entrance garden to enjoy the scenery.
"Xiaodong, congratulations!" A clear and pleasant girl's voice sounded from behind Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong turned around and saw the talented girl of Qingcheng, Yang Yushi.
"Why is Miss Yang here?" Song Xiaodong was quite surprised.
Yang Yushi frowned slightly, a bit resentful, said: "Xiaodong, you're not considering me as a friend."
Song Xiaodong puzzledly said: "How could that be, having a friend like Miss Yang is my honor."
Yang Yushi scoldingly said: "But we agreed last time, when you see me, you should call me by my name directly, you now calling me like this makes me feel distanced."
Song Xiaodong chuckled and said: "True, I was just being polite. Yushi, such an important guest, how come you don't even have a companion and ended up in the backyard?"
"What important guest, there are so many important ones today, I'm not considered significant, nobody is paying attention to me. Plus, it's too lively out there, I'm not used to that, so I came out for a walk and just happened to bump into you, Xiaodong."
