An Qing saw that Lin Yi had calmed down. His tense, angry face relaxed and regained his usual peaceful look.

She moved lightly to Lin Yi's side, raised her hand and gently patted his shoulder. The action was full of the intimacy and comfort that only a mother could have.

Then he raised his arm slightly, motioning the people gathered in the yard to go inside, and said:

"Come inside first. This is a long story. It's not appropriate for us to stand in the yard all the time, and it's not convenient to talk in detail."

Hearing the sound, everyone filed into the house one after another.

An Qing was neither anxious nor impatient, and looked calm. She first bent down to pick up the cushion on the ground, carefully brushed off the dust on it, put it back in its original place on the sofa, then straightened the overturned tea cups one by one, took the rag, and wiped the table clean with quick and gentle movements.

After some tidying up, the living room was tidy again.

When everything was ready, she walked to the sofa, stretched out her hand and took Lin Guochang with her, and sat down in the middle of the sofa with a dignified posture.

Her gaze moved slowly, first landing on Lin Yi and Ruan Yaoyao, full of admiration and intimacy, then when she looked at Ye Feng, there was more tolerance and smile, and finally she fixed on Mi Yu, gentle as water.

After a moment, his expression suddenly became solemn and dignified, as if he was about to reveal a major secret.

"I have an important announcement to make."

As soon as she said this, her voice, though soft, seemed to carry a heavy weight, echoing in the quiet living room.

Lin Yi, Ruan Yaoyao, Ye Feng and Mi Yu were originally standing or sitting leisurely, but when they heard this, they instantly straightened their backs, put their feet together, and hung their hands at their sides.

Their expressions were tense and focused, all their eyes focused on An Qing, their eyes full of curiosity and exploration.

Seeing this, An Qing raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and a relieved smile appeared, breaking the solemn atmosphere, and said slowly:

"We're going to have another member in our family soon."

"Oh, it's my dad's Gyarados, right?"

Lin Yi reacted very quickly. He turned his head and moved to the window. He looked through the clear glass at the warm scene in the yard.

The female Gyarados was lying lazily by the pool with her belly bulging high. It was obvious that she was pregnant and ready to give birth.

And her own Gyarados never leaves her side, always surrounding her, rubbing its head against her neck or wagging its tail from time to time, as if trying to dispel the coldness and give her comfort. It looks naive and affectionate.

"Indeed, Gyarados is almost due to give birth. Looking at its appearance, I'm afraid it will welcome a new life in the next few days."

An Qing nodded slightly at first, agreeing with Lin Yi's guess, and then looked through the window at the female Gyarados in the yard with a big belly and increasingly slow movements, her eyes full of tenderness and expectation.

But then, she gently shook her head, and her hair swayed slightly, as if to dispel the "misunderstanding" of that moment.

"But that's not what I'm talking about."

She smiled widely, but her tone was a little mysterious, which successfully aroused everyone's curiosity.

"What is that? Which Pokémon did you capture, Xiaolin?"

Ye Feng spoke his mind, his eyes widened and his gaze instantly locked onto Lin Yi, his face full of inquiry.

"No."

Lin Yi was confused by the question, shaking his head like a rattle and frowning slightly.

Just when he was full of doubts, a flash of inspiration seemed to come to his mind. He suddenly stopped moving, his butt seemed to be nailed to the spot, his eyes wide open, staring at An Qing closely, his face full of disbelief, his lips trembling slightly, and his voice trembling with a hint of tremor.

"Is it possible..."

"That's right!"

An Qing's smile grew brighter. She stretched out one hand and gently stroked her still flat belly. The movement was so gentle as if she was touching the most precious treasure in the world. Her other hand slowly reached into her shoulder bag and carefully took out a neatly folded medical examination report.

The report paper was white and had a soft luster under the light. She gently unfolded it in front of everyone. The indicators on it were clear and the conclusions were eye-catching, undoubtedly announcing the arrival of a new life.

"I got pregnant yesterday."

"what?!"

Lin Yi, Ruan Yaoyao, Ye Feng and Mi Yu seemed to be struck by the same thunder. They screamed in unison, and their voices suddenly exploded in the house, full of shock and astonishment.

Especially Ye Feng, his loud voice was about to break through the roof:

"Auntie An, are you pregnant?! But haven't you already..."

Halfway through his words, he realized belatedly that something was wrong, and the second half of the words "elderly mother" got stuck in his throat.

But it was too late to take back what had been said, and the atmosphere instantly became as cold as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

There was still a smile on An Qing's face, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but that smile was like the thin ice on the lake in winter, revealing a hint of chilliness.

Her eyes were stern, and her gaze was like a materialized ice cone, piercing straight at Ye Feng. The temperature in the room seemed to drop sharply, and everyone seemed to be grabbed by the neck by an invisible hand. Their necks subconsciously shrank, and they dared not breathe. They were surrounded by an inexplicable pressure.

Lin Yi reacted the fastest, thinking to himself that something was wrong. Seeing that his mother looked strange, he turned around and slammed his elbow towards Ye Feng's waist.

The action was fast and fierce, with a hint of annoyance, and he whispered:

"What are you talking about? Wasn't the beating just now enough?!"

Ye Feng cried out "Ouch" after being hit by the elbow, and felt a sharp pain in his waist. His body instantly hunched over, and the expression on his face was even more interesting. First, his facial features were distorted by the pain.

Then, under An Qing's cold gaze, Ye Feng nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, muttering:

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, Aunt An, please don't mind it. You know, I deserve a slap in the face..."

It was as miserable as it could be.

Seeing Ye Feng's good attitude of admitting his mistakes, An Qing's expression eased a little, the coldness on her face faded a little, she snorted lightly, and said angrily:

"You kid, you don't think before you speak."

Lin Yi stared at Lin Guochang's face, frowning slightly, his eyes full of inquiry and suspicion, thinking secretly in his heart.

No wonder I felt something was wrong when I saw Lin Guochang earlier. It turned out that he looked a little thinner?

Lin Guochang's clothes, which used to fit him well, now seem a little loose, his cheeks are no longer as round as before, his chin line has become more distinct and hard, and he looks haggard and weathered.

"No, Dad, Mom, didn't you go to the Alliance to report the situation?"

Lin Yi collected his thoughts and looked up at his parents, his eyes filled with confusion and concern, his tone rising slightly, revealing his puzzlement.

"Yes."

Lin Guochang looked solemn and nodded slowly, with the hair on his forehead swaying slightly.

He took a deep breath, as if to calm his inner turmoil, before he began to recount the details of the report.

It turned out that when he went to the alliance this time, he told the whole story and the entire process without reservation, no matter how big or small, even the extremely difficult and heavy parts.

He told the truth about the kidnapping he had to carry out, and how it led to the death of Connor, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Laomei region.

As he spoke, Lin Guochang's voice trembled slightly, full of fear and regret. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

At that time, the decision was made because one was in a desperate situation and was forced by the situation, but the consequences had already happened and were irreversible.

After the report, Lin Guochang prepared for the worst, and was certain that he would be imprisoned and spend the rest of his life in jail.

Lin Guochang couldn't sleep all night and even prepared a divorce agreement, hoping that when the worst happened, he would be able to leave the house with nothing and protect An Qing and Lin Yi, mother and son.

Prevent them from being implicated by their own crimes, and from suffering from being pointed at by others and living in hardship.
