Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 1103

Bei Chendong arrived early the next morning to have tea with his father.

Father Bei was waiting in the garden. As he prepared a pot of tea, he looked at his son and smiled, "It's rare for you to think of your father."

"Bei Chendong put on his coat and sat down on astone chair, disregarding the light snow that fell around him as he picked up a hot cup of tea, "Father, I came here today to confess to something."

"Is this the attitude you use to confess?" Father Bei asked as he glared at his son and took a sip from his cup of tea, "Speak, what's the matter?"

"Actually, I was never sick," Bei Chendong said straightforwardly.

As soon as Father Bei heard this, he slammed his fist on the stone table and frowned at Bei Chendong, "I dare you to say that again."

"I said I'm not sick!" Bei Chendong repeated, "I put on an act so you guys would allow me to marry Xiner."

"Since you already created the lie, why didn't you go through with it? Why are you suddenly admitting to it?"

"Xiner's pregnant and mom's forcing her to have an abortion because she thinks I've been taking antidepressants that may be bad for the baby. Actually, both the baby and Xiner are fine," Bei Chendong replied in seriousness. "That's why I need her to stop forcing Xiner."

Father Bei humped. His hands were already trembling, but the thought of being lied to was both funny and infuriating.

He knew that this was indeed something that Bei Chendong would do.

"If Xiner didn't fall pregnant, were you planning to never explain yourself?" Father Bei asked as he lowered his head and moved in closer to Bei Chendong.

"Yes," Bei Chendong replied honestly.

"What did you take us for? Huh?" Father Bei continued to ask Bei Chendong. "Both of us were truly worried about your health. Yet, what happened in the end? Were you toying with us? Was it fun?"

"Bei Chendong, you're already 30-something-years-old. Why can't you be reliable like Mo Ting and consider the consequences before doing anything?"

"Did you think that your life belongs only to you, so we have no right to interfere?"

Father Bei was so angry that his entire body was trembling. In response, Bei Chendong subconsciously offered his father a hand...

"Don't touch me. I can't call the shots, go speak to your mother."

...

Since Bei Chendong was out, Han Xiner ended up waking to an empty home. She tried to call him, but he did not pick up the phone. Worst of all, he didn't even mention anything to her beforehand.

She mustn't have guessed that Bei Chendong was at the Bei Family home kneeling to his ancestors.

By that time, all the elders of the Bei Family had arrived at the Bei Family home and Mother Bei finally realized why she had never seen Bei Chendong take any medicine...

He was never sick. He had simply been relying on his acting to get by.

"Neither Inor your father areanything like you. I don't know where you got your personality from," Mother Bei looked at her son disappointedly. "Can the Bei Family still depend on you to inherit the family business? I'd rather donate it to charity than to leave it for you to ruin."

"Mom, I'm sorry, this was all my doing, it had nothing to do with Xiner."

"Hmmph," Mother Bei humphed. She then said with certainty, "You don't think I understand you? I know how Xiner is, she would never play tricks like this."

"That's why you shouldn't blame her for any of this."

"You knew this day would eventually come. So, why did you lie to me? How old do you think you think you are? Bei Chendong, I'm not disappointed by anything but the method you have chosen to use."

"You should continue kneeling in front of your ancestors."
