"Silly child," Jiao Ziqing's tone carried a hint of a smile. "Would it be of any use to hold it against you? In any case, you're my only daughter-in-law."
Hearing Jiao Ziqing say that made Yu Lili cry even more. She was now wailing like a baby.
Ou Ming was at a loss of what to do. In that moment, he could neither hug her nor embrace her. He desperately helped her to wipe the tears of her face as he said, "Don't cry. Don't cry."
On the other side of the line, Jiao Ziqing burst out laughing and remarked, "My dear silly son. Pregnancy causes a woman's emotions to be unstable. Crying one moment and laughing the next is a very common thing. Why are behaving like the mentally challenged kid next door?"
When she heard Jiao Ziqing's words of teasing, Yu Lili suddenly stopped wailing and laughed.
The comment made Ou Ming blush. "Mom, my wife is here. How can you say that?"
