Big Lady Boss is No.1 (7)

A black and white image of their child stared back at them. Huiyin didn't know how to feel, the only reason she was in this position was because of that Cupid System. She was emotionally affected but wanted to reject those feelings because she saw this world as a game.

"I want a refund..." She thought bitterly, the System didn't say she could feel like this... annoying!

Yusheng felt a rush of emotions that were foreign to him. Emotions, in general were things that rarely arise in him... When he heard the heartbeat of the child the reality of the whole situation slapped him in the face. He was really going to become a father.

"Your next appointment is in four weeks, then you can choose to find out the gender of the child."

They spent the ride home in silence as they thought about the future. Yusheng was aware that with his business naturally came fierce enemies whom kept no morals. Now that he had a wife and child to protect he knew that he ought to tie up loose ends. "Why couldn't he just quit that industry?" You may ask. It was simply because to enter it was easy, but to leave... that could be only done by death. Even though he was a leading figure in that industry that rule still applies to him.

Only dead men are fearless of death, but people like Yusheng had too much to lose.

"Yusheng! Yusheng!" The day had went by without them noticing and by the time it was six in the evening Huiyin had nearly finished preparing for dinner. Mama Long had come.

"Mother...?" Hearing the question in her sons voice she was displeased. That son of hers didn't care to visit her and husband for the past month! Humph! After doting on him and raising him into the magnificent man he is today, look at the way he treats her so coldly!

"Humph! Why haven't you visited... or even called for the past month! Did I offend you in any way?! Oh! My head!" Long Yushemg could help but sigh is exasperation, his mother had started with her theatrics, "How old are you Yusheng?"

"Twenty-five..." He sighed, "Here we go..." He thought. In fact he was secretly relieved that Huiyin was busy in the kitchen, otherwise wouldn't she witness this embarrassment? Yusheng hoped he would be able to chase his mother out before Huiyin was done.

"Twenty-five years I have doted on you! And this is how you repay me? Yusheng you're too cruel! You refuse to come and visit, you don't call, if others hear of this won't they believe that we mistreated you? Why do you do this to me! You've never had a girlfriend either! You want me to die with no gra-"

"Yusheng, could you hel..." Huiyin was in fact hiding behind the wall waiting for the right moment to introduce herself, this was a chance for her to complete step 1! Gaining a strong backer!

"Huiyin..."

"Yusheng who is this?" What could he say? He disappeared into his study before bringing out an envelope. Mama Long looked at the pair warily and opened the envelope. There were four black and white pictures... they were ultrasounds! This... this means that...!

"You! Yusheng you actually wanted to hide my grandchild away from me! Come, come, sweetheart, sit down. Let me take a good look at you." Mama Long tapped the seat next to her enthusiastically. Huiyin 'bashfully' moves closer to her.

"How far along are you?" Mama Long threw all formalities to the wind and shamelessly stared at Huiyin's stomach. Huiyin was already quite a small girl, so even if she was only three months it was visible.

"Mother, you didn't even ask her for her name." Yusheng was upset. Indeed this was the mother of his child, but she wasn't just a baby-making machine. She had a name too. His mother should be kinder to her.

"Aiya! Forgive this old lady. You see this bad child Yusheng. He hasn't been calling or coming to the house to come and visit me and his father! So unfilial... but now that I'm seeing you I'm overjoyed! I finally understand why he had been away for so long." Mama Long facepalmed after realising her mistake. It was all that damned Long Yusheng's fault!

"En. Aunty, my surname is Luo and I am called Huiyin. I'm now three months along." Huiyin played the docile and cute daughter-in-law role.

"Watch when I secure a strong foothold in the hearts of Mama and Papa Long, let's see how Murong Meilin will steal my place next to Yusheng." She thought to herself.

"Oh! Yusheng, could you help me get the plates from the top of the cupboard? Aunty, do you want to join us for dinner? I made it myself!"
