Chapter 315 I Can Be a Single Mother!

Facing Ouyang Ziqian’s sudden proposal, Xia Xiaoluo was in a panic. She knew Ouyang Ziqian’s love to her and she also knew that he was a good man. But Xia Xiaoluo made her decision at once without any hesitation after she regained her consciousness directly.

Xiao Lan kept looking at Xia Xiaoluo. Even though she really hoped that Xia Xiaoluo could become her daughter-in-law, she agreed with the marriage between Xia Xiaoluo and Ouyang Ziqian, because she realized that Ouyang Ziqian loved Xia Xiaoluo very much. What was more, she heard that Ouyang Ziqian was a nice man. But she was afraid that Xia Xiaoluo was too naive to survive in the rich and powerful family after marrying Ouyang Ziqian.

Ouyang Ziqian looked at Xia Xiaoluo with love, hoping that she would give him a satisfactory reply. However, in Xia Xiaoluo’s eyes, Ouyang Ziqian saw the meaning of refusal.

Ouyang Ziqian was afraid to hear Xia Xiaoluo’s refusal. He couldn’t make Xia Xiaoluo refuse him so quickly. So he said hurriedly, “Xiaoluo, I’m too presumptuous. I should not propose to you suddenly. I know that you are not mentally prepared, so I think you aren’t able to make the right choice at once. In that case, I’ll give you some time. Three days it is, and I think you can absolutely think about it clearly because you are so smart.

Xia Xiaoluo planned to refuse Ouyang Ziqian immediately, but Xiao Lan said as well, “Xiaoluo, listen to Childe Ouyang’s words and think about it carefully. Don’t do anything stupid. You understand?”

“Xiaoluo, I will help you until the end whether you accept me or not.” Ouyang Ziqian looked at Xia Xiaoluo. Eager to know her answer, he dared not to force her.

“There is no need for me to think about it anymore. Senior Ouyang, I can reply you right now.” Xia Xiaoluo said firmly.

“Xiaoluo, please think about it carefully! Don’t make any decision in a hurry or you will regret to do that!” Ouyang Ziqian felt that Xia Xiaoluo would probably make her mind to refuse his kindness.

“Aunt Xiao, Senior Ouyang, I’m ashamed of myself for making such a fuss. I really appreciate you. Thank you for not scolding me or looking down upon me. Thank you for always thinking of me and taking good care of me. I really appreciate what you have sacrificed for my baby and me.” When Xia Xiaoluo said these, she was moved in her heart.

“Xiaoluo, your mother and I are intimate friends, so I regard you as my own daughter. I hope that you won’t live a hard life in the future. What I did were all the things I should do, because I regard you as my daughter all the time.” Xiao Lan said. When she said this, her eyes were full of tears.

“Xiaoluo, I’m not sacrificing for you. I love you and I’ve fallen in love with you since a long time ago! You are the purest and the loveliest girl I’ve met! I hope I can be with you. It’s my great honor to share your troubles! Xiaoluo, I made the proposal not for helping you, but because of my love to you! Therefore, Xiaoluo, I hope that you can think about it carefully. Don’t refuse my kindness so easily.” Ouyang Ziqian expressed his attitude again.

“Senior Ouyang, thank you for your love to me, I’m grateful about it! but love can’t be forced. I only regard you as my elder brother. I like you very much but it’s not love. Without love, I really can’t accept your proposal.” Xia Xiaoluo said politely.

“But you are pregnant now. If you don’t choose to get married, you will become a single mother. Even though people in Y Country are not so gossipy as in A City, it’s really difficult to be a single mother after all.” Ouyang Ziqian was trying to persuade Xia Xiaoluo.

Xia Xiaoluo did not say anything, so Ouyang Ziqian made a concession, “We can pretend to get married.”

Xia Xiaoluo and Xiao Lan were both stunned, but Ouyang Ziqian continued, “You are my nominal wife after registering for the marriage and holding the wedding ceremony. But we can live in separate rooms for several years in the beginning. If you are willing to live with me after several years, we can become real couples. On the contrary, if you still don’t love me at that time, I will respect your decision. We can divorce and you will be free. The baby has grown up then, and It will be easier for you to take care of him.”

“No, Senior Ouyang, it’s unfair to you. I won’t do that!” Xia Xiaoluo refused Ouyang Ziqian at once. She couldn’t be so selfish. She couldn’t turn Ouyang into a divorced man for the sake of her own reputation.

“Xiaoluo, I’m betting! I’m betting that you can be moved and fall in love with me! If you can fall in love with me, all the things would be fair to me! However, if I lose in the bet, I will admit the defeat. I swear that I will never take back my pledge.” Ouyang Ziqian still insisted.

“Senior Ouyang, thank you very much. You are my best friend and I’m lucky to know you. It must be the God who blesses me!” Xia Xiaoluo said half-jokingly, “However, I really don’t want to do this. We shouldn’t be together if we don’t love each other.”

“Senior Ouyang, aunt Xiao, I have made the decision. I will take good care of myself and give birth to the baby, bringing up the baby carefully. I don’t mind whether I will be a single mother or not. I have made up my mind, so don’t persuade me anymore.” Xia Xiaoluo said seriously.

Ouyang Ziqian sighed with a relief and shook his head helplessly.

“Well, Xiaoluo, I will wait for you! I will wait for you to change your mind. My proposal is always valid.” Ouyang Ziqian said, “I will often come here to accompany you. We have to look after you now. You can refuse my proposal, but don’t refuse my concern on you, or I will be worried about you all the time.”

“Well, of course, Senior Ouyang! I’m the freshman here, I have to rely on you for everything.” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile. And then she took Xiao Lan’s arms and said, “Aunt Xiao, please cook more delicious food for me! I can eat casually, but my baby can’t.”

“Sure! Just tell me what you want to eat, I will cook for you, whatever is OK!” Xiao Lan smiled as well. Even though she did not want Xia Xiaoluo to become a single mother in her heart, it was no use for her to say anything else now.

Time went fast. Three months passed in an instant. Xia Xiaoluo’s pregnant belly was bigger and bigger and she didn’t have the pregnant vomit anymore. She had a good appetite, so Ouyang Ziqian and Xiao Lan were trying their best to satisfy her appetite.

Xia Xiaoluo became more and more optimistic gradually, but she would think of Ling Tianyi when she was alone occasionally. After all, she really loved him.

“My dear baby, I will be your mother as well as your father. I will take good care of you and won’t let you feel wronged. I will study hard to improve my cooking ability. Then I can open a restaurant earning money to buy you delicious food and beautiful clothes. I will send you to the best school as well. In addition, I will take you to have trips and play with you.”

“I will take you to many countries and mom’s hometown A City, it is the most beautiful city.”

Xia Xiaoluo thought of A City, and then she also thought of Ling Tianyi. Every time she thought of him, she was heartbroken. She thought that as time went by, she would forget Ling Tianyi who sacrificed her for the sake of his own interests at the beginning. However, she was wrong. She wasn’t able to forget him at all. Maybe she would remember him for the whole life.

“Darling, will you forget me? Have you already been together with another woman now? No, you can’t do that! I haven’t forgotten you, so I don’t allow you to forget me! As long as you can still remember me, even a little, I will be happy. Don’t forget me! Please do not forget me!”

Xia Xiaoluo burst into tears. She was very sad. She wanted to tell Ling Tianyi that she was pregnant now and it was his baby. She knew that he used to look forward to having a baby belonged to them. However, she had no courage to call him even though his number was always kept in her mind.

“Xiaoluo, what are you thinking about on the balcony?” Ouyang Ziqian walked to Xia Xiaoluo.

Xia Xiaoluo wiped her tears hurriedly and smiled to Ouyang Ziqian awkwardly, “Nothing! I was thinking about what name should I give the baby. I’m stunned!”

“Well, do you have a suitable one?” Ouyang Ziqian said with a smile. Actually, he knew that Xia Xiaoluo was thinking about Ling Tianyi again. But he wouldn’t expose Xia Xiaoluo’s secret. What he only wanted to do was to silently help her to go through the most difficult time.

“No! How should I decide the name without knowing the gender of the baby?” Xia Xiaoluo stuck out her tongue.

“It’s a small piece of cake! We will know it tomorrow!” Ouyang Ziqian said and sat on the bay window beside Xia Xiaoluo.

“It’s impossible! Senior Ouyang, stop kidding.” Xia Xiaoluo touched her belly. “I like eating something sour, but I won’t believe what aunt Xiao told me. It will be a baby boy if I like eating something sour and a baby girl if I like eating something spicy. It doesn’t have any scientific basis.”

“Who said that it doesn’t have any scientific basis! It is spread from our ancestors! We should believe it! I have made some small clothes recently and they are all for the baby boys.” Xiao Lan walked to them with some fruit, she put the fruit platter beside Xia Xiaoluo.

“Doctor Robert of the hospital called me just now. He said that it was time to have a pregnancy check-up tomorrow. You can have a type-B ultrasonic to check the gender of the baby at that time. It’s absolutely scientific. There must be nothing wrong with that.” Ouyang Ziqian said.

“Really? Nice! Then I can make some preparations earlier!” Xia Xiaoluo became excited at once, “God bless me! Please give me a pretty daughter!”

“Why do you like a daughter?” Ouyang Ziqian smiled and asked.

“Because girls are beautiful. I can buy her a lot of beautiful dresses and let her be my Barbie doll. On the other hand, boys are naughty, and I’m afraid that I can’t control him.” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile and shrugged her shoulders.

“I like girls as well. Don’t worry. I will spoil her like a little princess if you give birth to a girl. But if you ‘unfortunately’ give birth to a naughty boy you can’t control, I will help you to control him.” Ouyang Ziqian said with a smile. And then, Ouyang Ziqian took a deep breath and said to Xia Xiaoluo, “Xiaoluo, even if you don’t accept me to be the baby’s father, it’s OK and I understand that. But I want to be the baby’s godfather. How do you think of it?”

“That’s no problem.” Xia Xiaoluo said with a smile.

“Nice! I will try my best to be a good godfather. It’s all my business no matter it’s the baby’s or the baby’s mother’s affairs!” Ouyang Ziqian was very happy and he guaranteed it by patting on his chest.

“You are the godfather and Dou Ya is the godmother, so you two are…” Xia Xiaoluo started to tease Ouyang Ziqian when she thought of Dou Ya’s love to him.

“Stop talking nonsense.” Ouyang Ziqian said and touched Xia Xiaoluo’s hair.

Chatting happily with Xiao Lan and Ouyang Ziqian made Xia Xiaoluo forget all the troubles at this moment. She only looked forward to the unborn baby happily.

However, in A City, Ling Tianyi was almost crazy. He missed Xia Xiaoluo so much all the time. He wasn’t able to find Xia Xiaoluo even though he made great efforts and asked many people for help.

“Xiaoluo, where are you?” Standing on the roof of the villa, Ling Tianyi roared wildly to the sky. “Xiaoluo, can you hear me? Xiaoluo, where are you?”
