My Soft AI Boyfriend Turned into a Rough Man—and Kisses Me Until I Am Pregnant - Chapter 71
Speak of the devil.
In the evening, just after Xu Xiaoguai finished her classes, she received a call from home.
They said something had happened and she needed to return immediately.
A sense of unease crept into her heart, but since the call had come through, she couldn’t just ignore it.
Xu Xiaoguai hurried to the school gate, intending to let Qiao Wen know, but she noticed that the car Qiao Wen usually drove wasn’t parked outside the school.
Without wasting any more time, she quickly hailed a taxi and headed home.
Xu Xi had been through some trouble recently, and she had no idea how he was doing now.
As soon as she arrived home, she noticed an unfamiliar car parked outside. She wondered who could be visiting.
Xu Xiaoguai walked in slowly and heard loud voices inside, none of which belonged to her parents.
As she stepped inside, she saw a girl in a school uniform standing to the side, accompanied by a middle-aged couple who were likely her parents.
The girl’s eyes were red, as if she had been crying after being scolded.
The Xu couple didn’t look too pleased either, and they were all gathered near Xu Xi’s room.
“What exactly is your family’s stance on this? If it weren’t for our family’s health checkup, we wouldn’t have even known our daughter was pregnant. Look at what your Xu Xi has done!”
“So how are you going to handle this? Give us an answer now!”
Xu Xiaoguai’s eyes widened in shock upon hearing this.
She couldn’t help but adopt the demeanor of an intrigued bystander.
Xu Xi had mentioned having a girlfriend before, but now she was suddenly pregnant?!
How explosive was this?
Xu Xiaoguai quietly positioned herself by the door, trying to blend into the background as she observed the girl. The girl looked terrified, hiding behind her parents the entire time.
In Xu Xi’s current condition, how could this situation be resolved?
If they expected this girl to marry him, would she even be willing?
But then again…
Xu Xiaoguai mulled it over silently. Given Xu Xi’s current state, it was uncertain whether he could ever have children in the future.
Would her parents suddenly see this as a glimmer of hope?
After all, they were so biased toward sons, hadn’t they previously lamented that the Xu family line would end with them?
And now, there was a successor…?
Xu Xiaoguai blinked, still standing by the door and peering toward Xu Xi’s room.
The Xu couple was equally stunned, momentarily flustered. “This… when did she get pregnant? How far along is she?”
They turned to Xu Xi. “Xiao Xi, did you know about this? Since when have you been skipping classes to date?”
Xu Xi was completely dumbfounded. How had he ended up becoming a father while confined to his bed?
He had taken precautions every time… How could she be pregnant?
And she had even abandoned him last time.
He had already decided not to continue the relationship.
So how was she suddenly pregnant now?
Struggling, Xu Xi propped himself up and frowned. “How long have you been pregnant?”
The girl’s father, angered by his tone, stepped forward and punched him.
“You bastard! Don’t you know when it happened?!”
The girl’s mother also spoke up, her tone sharp and intimidating, clearly not someone to be trifled with. “The checkup showed she’s one month along. We’re here to demand an explanation. Your son can’t just have his fun and let my daughter bear the risk of pregnancy alone. What are you going to do about it? If you don’t give us a reasonable solution, we’re not leaving!”
Xu Xi was beaten until his head spun and his vision blurred. He hadn’t fully recovered yet and looked quite weak, yet he still ended up taking a punch.
Mother Xu was frantic. “Let’s… let’s talk this out properly. There’s no need for violence!”
She glanced at the girl and, thinking about Xu Xi’s current condition, spoke with some difficulty: “If you’re willing, go ahead and have the baby. We’ll take responsibility. You can have the child first, we’ll hold a wedding, and once you’re of age, we’ll register the marriage. We absolutely won’t let your daughter suffer!”
She was actually willing to accept this daughter-in-law. After all, the girl was pregnant with Xu Xi’s child, it was the Xu family’s descendant.
Moreover, given Xu Xi’s current state… although they comforted him by saying he might recover someday, deep down they knew the truth. Forget future fertility issues, even basic marital relations would be…
Nearly impossible.
So now that there was a child, the Xu parents were naturally overjoyed.
They were just worried the girl’s family wouldn’t agree.
After all, no decent family would want to marry their daughter to someone… someone incapable in that aspect.
“You’re being quite straightforward! But it’s not as simple as you saying you’ll marry her off. Even though she’s pregnant, our daughter won’t be taken advantage of by your family. You must provide everything that’s customary.”
The girl’s parents seemed to think the Xu couple agreed too readily, probably just wanting the child without offering anything else.
The Xu parents hadn’t planned to shirk their responsibilities. Although they didn’t know how long the young couple would last (both Xu Xi and the girl were young and immature), the thought that Xu Xi might never have another child made them determined to keep this one.
“Please, have a seat with your daughter. Let’s discuss this slowly, we certainly won’t mistreat the child,” Mother Xu said.
After speaking, she was about to lead them to the living room when she noticed Xu Xiaoguai standing at the doorway.
“When did you get back?”
Mother Xu frowned, clearly displeased to see her.
“You told me to come back.”
After saying this, Xu Xiaoguai glanced at the family and headed toward her room. “I’ll go to my room first.”
She lowered her head and hurried away.
After entering her room, Xu Xiaoguai didn’t close the door immediately, she wanted to hear what was happening outside.
She left the door slightly ajar.
The girl’s mother spoke again.
“If these two are getting married, you’ll need to provide a house and a car, right? I’ve seen your family’s conditions, they’re not particularly good. We’re not asking for an excessive bride price, but the essentials must be covered. Besides the house and car, we want 200,000 in cash. You’ll also cover all expenses during our daughter’s pregnancy and childbirth, and she must recover at a postnatal care center. If you can manage all this, they can marry. If not, give us 200,000 now, and we’ll take our daughter to the hospital to terminate the pregnancy.”
It was clearly an exorbitant demand.
In the past, the Xu couple would have started making excuses, but now they couldn’t.
Their son might never be able to have children, he might never even find a wife. This child had to be preserved, no matter what.
“Don’t be hasty. Of course they’ll marry, and the child must not be terminated. But could you reduce the bride price? You know our family’s situation isn’t great…”
Mother Xu’s words were cut off before she could finish.
“The car and an additional 200,000 yuan in betrothal gifts, not a single cent less. There’s no room for negotiation.”
Xu’s mother turned pale. Where could she possibly get that much money?
