[2] Reborn [Jirose Adaption]

Chap342-My wife is currently pregnant

Elder Lee did not expect that Roseanne would actually dare to speak this way; his expression instantly turned dark and gloomy.

On the Lee family's matter, Park Taeyong was also involved. He knew that he had been unreasonable and did not try to speak up.

Lee Jeong yeon had likely turned quiet with anger. She did not reveal any obvious emotions, but her eyes were fixed on Roseanne.

"Everyone." When Park Jimin saw Lee Jeong yeon's expression, as though she was restraining herself, he directly held Roseanne's hand and stood up.

His expression was as calm as still water. He maintained the reservation and modesty suitable for the circumstance, but his eyes were freezing cold. "My apologies. My wife is currently pregnant and is not suitable to be in such situations. It will affect her mood. I'm bringing her back to the room to rest. Elder Lee and Miss Lee, if both of you are sincere in your wish to celebrate the New Year with us, the Parm family will naturally welcome both of you to have dinner. But if you have other motives, then we won't send you off. Please take your leave."

After finishing his words, he held Roseanne's hand and led her up the stairs.

His pace was not fast, but he did not turn back. He did not display any hesitation or intention to explain himself further.

Roseanne did not say anything and obediently allowed Park Jimin to drag her along. Compared to being brought around by the self-centered Lee Jeong yeon, she was naturally happier to have him bring her upstairs for a look.

Furthermore, the atmosphere in the living room was indeed poor. She was too lazy to further argue with them.

As for Park Jimin, his attitude was even colder than hers. The man did not exercise the slightest bit of restraint and had clearly ignored the Lee family. He did not even save any face for Park Taeyong and his mother.

Especially Lee Jeong yeon.

Lee Jeong Yeon's expression did not reveal much of her emotions, but her eyes were boundlessly dark.

Tiffany Wang and Park Taeyong also took a moment to process their words.

What did Park Jimin say earlier?

Roseanne Lin was pregnant?!

"Jimin?" Mrs. Park stumbled up from the sofa and was about to rush to the staircase to ask further. However, the two had already walked quite a distance from the stairs.

Mrs. Park turned back to look at Park Taeyong, who had furrowed his brows. His expression was not too pleased. Elder Lee had clearly come with other motives today, and he had planned on letting Park Jimin settle this issue himself. However, he had left without turning back, leaving this mess of a situation for him to clean up.

The issue of Roseanne's pregnancy was indeed shocking.

When he heard of Roseanne's pregnancy, Elder Lee's expression had turned extremely ugly. He was about to stand with to bring Lee Jeong yeon away but was held back tightly by Lee Jeong yeon.

"Grandfather, it's fine." She lowered her eyes and spoke lightly, "Right now, Miss Lin is Jimin's wife. Understandably, he is protecting his wife. Our attitude was indeed slightly overboard. It's true that Jimin... doesn't owe me anything..."

Upon hearing this, Park Taeyong finally spoke up: "That's right. Bringing up these things will only cause more headaches. Elder Lee, look on the bright side. Although we can't be in-laws, the friendship built between the Park and Lee family over our years in the business world will never change. Now that Roseanne Lin is pregnant, as a father, it isn't right for me to say more on this matter."

Mrs. Park smiled. "It's the New Year's celebration today. Since we're about to have a dinner reunion, let's keep the atmosphere polite, lively, and amiable. It's better to leave these old matters in the past. Jeong yeon's qualities are so good, I'm sure that many men are much more outstanding than Jimin interested in pursuing her. Although my son is pleasing on the eyes, his character is extremely bland. Even if you're with him, you may not necessarily be happy."

At this moment, Roseanne was being tugged along by a certain great President Park, who had a bland character. She had a tour of the second floor of the Los Angeles' Park home. They approached the end of the hallway and pushed aside the floor-to-ceiling windows to step onto the balcony. The Roman sculptures that Lee Jeong yeon had brought up earlier immediately came into view.

It was true that it had an antique taste to it. Furthermore, with one look, it was clear that it was a valuable item. Anyone of these Roman sculptures from the eighties was sufficient to be exchanged for her studio. They were, indeed, things that regular people could not collect.

Behind the sculptures, there was a water pavilion that was slightly covered by snow. However, the small paths winding through the place were kept extremely clean. Further behind, there were several European buildings and lofts neatly aligned.

"Do you want to stay here tonight?" Park Jimin ran his defined fingers through her hair and gently touched her head.

"Sure. It doesn't matter to me where we stay. After all, this place is so big, and your mom seems to really like me. I won't experience much stress even if we stay here." Roseanne abruptly turned and leaned against the balcony railings, raising her head to look at the tall, broad-shouldered man: "No wonder your Grandfather intentionally brought up your mom to mock your father previously. It turns out that your parent's characters are on a different level of standards."

Park Jimin chuckled. "Then we'll stay here for a night and leave tomorrow. All right?"

"All right."

The sky turned dark quickly. When Roseanne and Park Jimin came down the stairs, they discovered that Elder Lee and Lee Jeong yeon had yet to leave.

Elder Lee and Park Taeyong had just opened a bottle of good wine, and Lee Jeong yeon was helping them to pour it. The hostile atmosphere from earlier in the afternoon seemed to have disappeared.

The moment she saw Roseanne, Mrs. Park immediately approached and asked with a warm expression, "Daughter-in-law, are you really pregnant?"

Roseanne nodded. "It's not even two months yet. The doctor said that it isn't very stable, so I didn't dare to bring it up too early."

"It's fine if it isn't very stable. Back when I was pregnant with Jimin, my pregnancy wasn't very stable either. You'll be fine as long as you lay down and rest more." Mrs. Park immediately turned her smiling eyes onto Park Jimin, who had raised his brows slightly. "No wonder you brought Rosie back to the room to rest. You are indeed more reliable than your father and know how to dote on your wife. Back when I was pregnant with you, my head and stomach would hurt every few days. Aside from sending me to the hospital with a gloomy expression, your father didn't do anything else. Even the way he asked about my well-being was so straightforward. He doesn't know how to be sweet at all."

Park Taeyong, who had just clinked glasses with Elder Lee and taken a sip of wine: "..."

When Mrs. Park tugged Roseanne over to sit down, she leaned close to her side to whisper. "Miss Lee and Elder Lee won't be returning today. They'll be staying over for one night. The Lee family and Park family can be considered old friends. During the afternoon, we weren't too mindful of the Elder's face, so Jimin's father will have a few glasses of wine with him tonight to repair the friendship. If you don't like seeing them, return to your room with Jimin once we're done eating. There's no need to be concerned about being polite. I won't take offense."

With such a sensible mother-in-law, even if she would not enjoy sitting across Lee Jeong yeon for the reunion dinner, Roseanne would be able to tolerate it with a smile.

"It's all right, I'm not particularly unwilling. Besides, it's not just an issue of being polite. I'm very clear on the line between the hosts and the guests. Don't worry, I won't be upset." Roseanne winked at her.

Mrs. Park patted Roseanne's shoulder and returned her wink.

After seeing the rapport and tacit understanding between the two of them seemingly from nowhere, Park Jimin's lips curved into an imperceptible smile.
