Chapter 863: 863 They got engaged (4)
She called Cute again, and it was still unreachable.
The two little rascals seemed to have agreed on it in advance.
Was this deliberately avoiding her calls, or perhaps, had they blacklisted her number today!?
Right! Fei’er!
If her intuition was correct, Fei’er’s phone would also be unreachable.
Sure enough, when Eleven tried calling Ye Fei, it was exactly the same situation.
Jiujiu had always been secretive with Fei’er, doing things behind her back, and now it seemed they had roped in Cute as well, hadn’t they?
"How did you know where they were going?"
"The guests who confirmed their attendance are known. The Ye family will be represented by Ye Fei."
"Fei’er?"
Wasn’t it Ye Mo?
What were the three of them trying to hide by going to the engagement party?
Guessing a certain scenario, Eleven held her forehead.
These three could be planning to wreak havoc at today’s event to get back at her.
Eleven was certain, if the three of them teamed up, they could turn the world upside down!
"Wait for me!"
Was Luo Qing clueless about the children wanting to go?
Eleven went upstairs, spending about half an hour fumbling with makeup and finding clothes.
There was a dress in the closet that had only been worn once; it was plain, neither fancy nor particularly special, suitable even for a stroll around the shops, and just perfect for the occasion.
Thinking of the baby in her belly, although only two months in, she had heard it wasn’t advisable to wear high heels during pregnancy, so she opted for a pair of flat shoes, which seemed just fine.
Yes, she, who had originally not planned on attending the engagement party, had changed her mind.
She went downstairs and said to Luo Qing, "Let’s go together."
...
After hastily sorting out her clothes and shoes, Eleven left a mess of makeup products unattended, turning the bedroom into a chaos.
Seeing the mess, Aunt Fang entered, smiled, and shook her head as she tidied everything.
Suddenly, she noticed a paper bag, with a third of its contents slipping out.
At a glance, it seemed like an X-ray or something similar, stored in Eleven’s storage cabinet, so she suspected it might be related to an illness and pulled it out to examine.
She was stunned at first sight, wasn’t this...
Upon checking the date, it was just yesterday.
Oh my, was Madam pregnant? And two months along!
Did the Master not know yet?
Aunt Fang thought he must be unaware! As Mr. hadn’t come home yesterday, if he had known, wouldn’t he have called off the engagement with Miss Shang today?
...
Throughout the ride, even though seated in the same car, Eleven didn’t speak to Luo Qing, remaining silent.
Luo Qing didn’t push her; knowing her days were limited, she thought it worthwhile to spend any moment she could with her daughter, simply being together was good enough.
She thought Eleven was unaware, but at that moment, Eleven’s feelings were quite mixed.
Gu Liancheng knew she didn’t mind, but he still updated her about her illness, the doctor said it was severe, already in its late stages, and chemotherapy would only prolong her life by a bit.
Thus, after learning about her illness, Luo Qing told no one; she didn’t want chemotherapy, there was no cure anyway, so she just decided to make the best of her remaining days.
"Madam, today is the young miss’s engagement, you should be a bit happier," the driver noticed Luo Qing’s depressed demeanor, lacking any festive spirit.
"I know, I’ll be mindful of it at the banquet."
