158 Freaking Heaven (2/2)

Her being in this emotional state angered him when he shouldn't really care!

He treated her like she was a doll made of glass but the infuriating woman lied to him to go and get dandy-drunk, that also in the middle of nowhere!

Li Yuan rested his head on his palm in extreme irritation. He had to think of something before she thought of something.

Because sure as hell she wasn't going to rest. He could bet all his wealth, she was devising a plan at the moment too.

And then a thought struck him. He needed to relax a little before doing anything rash so he dialled the only number who could take his woes away.

”How did my baby remembered me?” A surprising sweet voice exclaimed from the other end but it did nothing to ease his agitated mind.

”Mom, how is the preparation for...marriage going?” He asked in a tired tone.

”Huh?” Madam Li exclaimed in surprise and confusion but at once her excitement skyrocketed at her son taking interest in an event she was organizing and she started blabbering.

”The theme is being discussed, that Mother-in-law of yours is truly annoying! She has unclassy and unseasonal opinions on everything! It would have been better if I was organising it alone...”

”Mom, it's her only daughter's marriage too. Please cooperate.” He wasn't really in a mood to hear his mother gossip.

The day was giving him a headache already.

Madam Li scoffed, ”What the only daughter?! She doesn't have a daughter! That girl is...”

”Mom! We have been through this!” He growled.

He was so done with this bullsh*t he had to go for a whole hour with his mother and grandmother a few days before their family dinner.

Madam laughed awkwardly and sheepishly said, ”Ye...yeah. What I meant was, she is bothersome.”

Whatever it was, Madam Li loved him a lot.

He knew his mother wasn't a pious petite woman she claimed to be but even a beast that ripped other livings for his one-time meal loved his cubs.

After being thrown aside by her husband like a used tissue, she turned to him with all her affection and despair.

Li Yuan sighed, ”Mom, I called you to tell you to take Lu Xinyi with you for shopping and wedding preparations.”

Madam cried out at once, ”What! Her mother is already a nuisance with that tra...”

”Mom!” He sighed in frustration, ”She gets...bored and frustrated at the Mansion alone every day. And that is wearing her off. She will get a breather.”

Madam made a disapproving sound, ”Li Yuan! You know, it's not safe! Every woman in the family stays indoors during their pregnancies! Why does she think...”

Madam Li really didn't like the girl and just because she got knocked up wasn't going to change a thing. All she could do for compromise was to limit their interactions.

Healthy for both parties!

Li Yuan gritted his teeth at the horrible pretext, ”Mom, I wasn't really asking!”

”Your Grandmother will never allow it!” She attempted as her last card.

”I will talk to her and for the record, neither did you and nor did Grandma stayed restricted in the Mansions.”

That, in turn, cooled his mother down. Mentions of things she had to face during her pregnancy or his Grandmother did in pregnancy always had that effect on them.

Li Yuan sighed. He didn't really mean to upset her.

”Right! Perhaps a little walk and change of environment will be a good thing for the baby.” She said in a weak voice, resigning to her fate.

He hung up a and took a deep breath. A little outing will calm his tigress a little!

Li Yuan rested his head backwards on the couch and closed his eyes to relax a little. For now, he had extinguished the lava.

”Sh*tty life?”
