Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 1070: You Would Be a Good Father

"If you think the pregnancy test isn’t reliable, just go to the hospital for a check-up."

Tang Li suggested.

"We’ll see." Yu Sui leaned against the sofa, gently cradling her belly with her hands: "When I have some free time, I’ll ask Fei Bai to accompany me."

Besides, she planned to give Fei Bai a surprise.

Announcing her pregnancy at the engagement banquet.

Hearing the sweetness in Yu Sui’s words, Tang Li asked another question: "Your father works at the Export-Import Bank, right?"

"Yeah, he might get promoted next year."

Yu Sui spoke of this, feeling even sweeter.

Her dad and Uncle Cheng were college classmates. Over the years, Uncle Cheng frequently consulted her dad on business matters, so their families have always been close. Yu Sui and Fei Bai could be described as childhood sweethearts.

Their marriage was arranged while they were still in the womb.

In her mother’s words, her dad wouldn’t settle for just a general manager position, and marrying Cheng Feibai meant her in-laws would never give her a hard time, in fact, they would have to pamper her.

But she didn’t need Fei Bai to pamper her, she just wanted to love each other until old age.

Placing her hands on her belly, she even felt the ’fetal movement’.

Seeing her so happy, Tang Li held back from dampening her mood and was about to turn back to her script when Yu Sui earnestly said: "Ah Li, you need to make more effort too."

"..." Tang Li.

"His Excellency is such a gentle person, he must be a good father too."

Yu Sui said, unable to resist exclaiming: "Such a magnificent pine tree, how could it have been uprooted by a pig?"

Tang Li: "... Who are you insulting?"

"No one, I’m just happy for you."

Tang Li gave a slight smile.

When she turned her gaze towards the script, her mind drifted to the topic of children.

When she becomes pregnant in the future, she hoped to have a son.

It has nothing to do with preferring boys over girls.

If it’s a daughter, sticking to Song Baiyan all day, asking for kisses, hugs, and being lifted high, it would drive her mad first.

Perhaps this is what they call same-gender repulsion.

So for family harmony, it’s better to have a son.

Having settled on this thought, she spent the evening searching for ’ways to ensure having a boy’ when she got home.

Before Tang Li could figure it out, she received a call from her bargain-priced father.

After Lai Wenyan and Ouyang Qian completed their first ’battle’ over control of Tianyi and successfully stopped the equity transfer, he suddenly remembered Tang Li, his daughter.

He recalled because of that old case.

Although he had come out from the bureau, it didn’t mean the matter was over.

His current situation is akin to being released on bail awaiting trial.

Once the investigation team finds conclusive evidence, it’s only a matter of time before he’s sent back in.

For the matters back then, Lai Wenyan believed he didn’t leave any flaws, but disregarding superior orders was also a fact, and if pursued, it would certainly affect his future political career.

Lai Wenyan had thoroughly considered these days.

If he couldn’t stay in politics, he wouldn’t just idle at home.

Going into business is undoubtedly the best choice.

Over the years, there have been many public officials resigning and going into business.

And he doesn’t even need to start from scratch.

Tianyi Group, although it was once an Ouyang Family enterprise, for the past decade or so, it has been dependent on him as a councilman, and moreover, he invested funds to expand Tianyi’s business scale back then.

In other words, isn’t he a de facto shareholder of Tianyi?

With the money he put in, he now has the right to participate in the group management. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

It was only today that Lai Wenyan discovered Tang Li was no longer living at the Lai Family.

When he saw Lai Wenyan’s call, Tang Li wasn’t surprised, one could say she was already prepared.

Mistrustful as Lai Wenyan is, he has always been unable to tolerate anything in the house that escapes his control. Tang Li moving out naturally required a reasonable explanation and also hoped Tang Li would again probe Song Baiyan’s attitude towards the old case.

For moving out of the Lai Family, Tang Li had her reasons.

"I accepted a variety show last week and they’ll film at my place later. I was afraid that if I stayed home, the audience would recognize it as the Lai Family’s residence, which could affect you, Dad."

Lai Wenyan: "..."

Since the last V Blog real-name reporting incident, he has become an internet celebrity.

At present, things had just settled down.

Going on a show would drag him out for public judgment again.

Those internet trolls would never let him off easily!

Realizing this deeply, Lai Wenyan changed his scolding to hypocritical concern: "You’re my biological daughter, would a father ever kick you out?"

Without giving Tang Li a chance to speak, he continued: "Then move back after the show is done filming. You weren’t home; it’s been quite lonely. Nowadays, only you and I share the same sentiments."

In the receiver, Tang Li obediently replied: "Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll move back as soon as possible."

Before ending the call, Tang Li proactively brought up the old case matter.

"Once His Excellency returns to the country, I’ll head to the Tan Palace since I know the truth from back then, I won’t let you suffer being wrongfully accused, Dad!"

Lai Wenyan didn’t dwell on this matter, only said: "What does a little grievance to your father matter as long as you and His Excellency are happy."

Tang Li responded: "I’ll be good if Dad is good, I’ve always remembered this."

This statement declared a united front between the father and daughter.

Lai Wenyan relaxed: "Listening to you say this, Dad is very gratified."

Understanding that to make the horse run, one must feed it, he promised: "Dad has already decided to divorce Aunt Qian, and from now on, you’ll truly be my only child, and I’ll leave everything to you."

Tang Li, holding the cellphone, equally assured: "As the sole heir to the Lai Family’s estate, I will not disappoint you, Dad."

Lai Wenyan: "....."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Li saved the call recording.

The next day, Tang Li woke up to find a WeChat message from Wu Xuehan on her cellphone.

—— Askin what gift she was preparing for Yu Sui’s engagement.

Tang Li belatedly recalled Yu Sui was getting engaged the next night because Yu Sui didn’t ask for leave nor purposely mentioned it, she had momentarily forgotten the matter.

Now that she knew, of course she needs to prepare a gift.

Wu Xuehan was still undergoing closed training, so she asked Tang Li to buy her gift too.

Tang Li picked the gifts at a mall near Huafu No.1.

That afternoon, once she got into the nanny car, she handed both gifts to Yu Sui.

Seeing Yu Sui excitedly unwrap the gifts, Tang Li eventually spoke: "Aren’t you going to test him some more?"

"I’ve tested him for over ten years." Yu Sui smacked her lips and touched her lower abdomen: "If I keep testing, my belly will soon be big."

Tang Li said: "What if you’re not pregnant?"

"I would still marry him!"

Yu Sui’s cheeks flushed: "This was agreed upon when we wore crotchless pants."

With that said, Tang Li didn’t say more.

She’s living a second life, but has no right to interfere with others’ lives.

Now if she were to obstruct Yu Sui’s engagement, it wouldn’t earn gratitude, breaking them up in times of affection would only make them each other’s red mole, white moonlight.

Besides, what happened in the past life may not necessarily happen again in this lifetime.

The following evening, Tang Li asked the crew for leave, preparing to go to the engagement banquet when Yu Sui called with a video.

Upon answering, Yu Sui’s small face with streaks of black tears appeared on the cellphone screen.

Tang Li: "..."

Before she could react, heartbroken cries came from the other end: "Fei Bai said he didn’t sleep with me that night, so the child I’m pregnant with isn’t his!"
