Divorce: This Is A Trivial Matter

Chapter 46

Once Yang Wei had made repeated reassurances that 'Curly-baby' would just be a nickname, the family finally sat down for lunch.

At the dinner table, Mother Yang kept feeding Yang Wei, reminding her and Qi Xiao Yan of things pregnant women should pay attention to. Father Yang consumed his meal in silence. Every once in a while, his eyes would fall to Qi Xiao Yan and his nostrils would flare. Yang Ming looked at him as well. Here he had thought that Professor Qi was just a boring old tweed suit, dry as dust. He'd never have thought him to be the type to knock up his sister, and thus pull the rug out from under his father.

But did this mean that he was going to be an uncle? Curly-baby... How adorable.

After the meal, Mother Yang began washing up and Father Yang called Qi Xiao Yan into the study alone for a conversation. Though Yang Wei was worried, he rubbed her head and soothed her. "The worst that could happen is that he'll beat me up again. It's no big deal."

Yang Wei: "..."

Professor Qi must not know that her father had practiced Sanda1 in his younger years.

When Qi Xiao Yan entered the study, Father Yang was sitting at the desk. On the table, steeping, was the Pu'er tea that he had brought today. Father Yang invited him to sit, then sat in silence for a while before asking, "Are you remarrying Yang Wei for the sake of the child?"

"No," Qi Xiao Yan denied. "Even without Curly-baby, I would have remarried her. Of course, now that he's here, I have to.”

Father Yang raised an eyebrow. “Why did you two have to divorce in the first place?”

“I think Yang Wei also told you that we had no emotional foundation prior to marriage. Afterward, we encountered a great many issues and felt like our personalities weren't compatible...”

Father Yang interrupted him with a sneer in his voice, “Oh, and are you feeling all accommodating now?”

"Now we'll work hard together to get used to each other." Qi Xiao Yan paused. There was a hint of determination in his tone. "We were too impatient and inexperienced to know how to make a marriage work, but this time, I truly do want to make it work with Yang Wei. I hope that you will be able to trust me again.”

Father Yang took a drink of his tea, keeping his eyes on him. “Her mother and I pampered Wei Wei in childhood. Although she's occasionally hot-tempered, she is absolutely neither arrogant nor foolishly stubborn. As a man, her husband, and now the father of her unborn child, you should be more considerate of her."

"I will."

Father Yang nodded. "Well then, I hope that you two will be able to make it work."

In the living room, Yang Ming leaned against his sister with a broad smile. "Elder sister, I never expected you to be so open-minded, getting pregnant outside of marriage."

Yang Wei:" ...... "

If not for the fact that she was indeed pregnant at the moment, she would have given him a good beating.

Yang Ming looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "Your expression says that you want to beat me up a bit. Don't forget that you haven't been able to beat me since elementary school."
