Birth of the Devilish CEO: So what if i'm a Lady?

Chapter 225: Confessions

"Mum, dad. Don't be so petty and just tell me exactly what I have given you that makes you so happy to the extent that you no longer want little buns as soon as possible anymore," Yi Lan asked again, not willing to concede defeat until he knew the course of his parents' happiness.

"Ge'er. Baby, mum has brought a lot of food and side dishes, so you won't have to enter the kitchen for a few days. I love you so much and I can't bear to see you fall sick. So don't hesitate to eat if you feel hungry alright," Madam Yi ignored her son and petted her daughter-in-law affectionately.

"Mum, I can't help feeling suspicious. Your level of affection towards my wife has graduated to a new level. You might take my wife away from me if you continue pampering her like this. Mum, it is my responsibility to take perfect care of my wife so don't snatch away my duty in my presence. Ok?" Yi Lan said jealously as he quickly pulled his wife away from his mother's side.

"I can't believe that my son is this petty. How could you get jealous of your mum? It is your fault for being so unfilial. So don't blame your mum for treating Ge'er better than you. Ge'er treats mum and dad the best. That is why mum and dad also love Ge'er the best," Elder Yi said playfully. Everyone could not help laughing when they saw the funny expression on Elder Yi's face when he was saying these cute words.

"I love you mum, I love you dad. I'm so blessed to have you two as my parents," Lie Ruge said cutely as she gave Yi Lan's parents a thumbs up.

"We love you too," Elder Yi said, still smiling happily. They kept on chatting and laughing till Madam Yi decided to go back to the main Mansion.

"Mum, it's almost time for dinner so why don't you and dad wait and have dinner with us? It will only take about an hour for me to prepare a sumptuous meal for you. So I insist that you and dad wait for dinner," Lie Ruge said firmly, not willing to take NO for an answer.

"Ge'er, I bet mum and dad are tired of spending time with us. So why don't you let them go back home. They have already deprived me of the private time that I was supposed to spend with you. So let's just have our dinner, just the two of us alright. I love spending time alone with you, that way we can chat and play naughty games too," Yi Lan said in a displeased manner. It was so obvious that he was trying to drive his parents away.

"Who says that I am tired of spending time with my daughter? I can never get tired of her. Besides, Ge'er is fun to be with. I have a lot of things to educate her on and I wouldn't mind spending a whole year with her in your Mansion. So just know that. Okay," Madam Yi fired back sharply. Due to their son's words, they decided to stay over for dinner.

"Ge'er, mum will be the one to do all the work today, so just sit down and rest alright? I bet my grandchild must be tired. So rest for a few minutes while I heat up the dishes I brought," Madam said the first part loudly, but she whispered the rest into Lie Ruge's ear.

"Mum, why are you being so secretive? What are you whispering into my wife's ear?" Yi Lan asked curiously.

"Mum wasn't talking to you so just mind your own business and stop monitoring my every move," Madam Yi snapped back at Yi Lan immediately to ruin his suspicions.

"I think it is a very bad idea for me to rest and I don't feel tired at all. Moreover, Yi Lan will suspect us more if he sees me resting instead of helping you out in the kitchen like I normally do, so let's prepare everything together mum," Lie Ruge said as she quickly stood up before Madam Yi could object to her suggestion. Since Madam Yi could not persuade Lie Ruge into resting for the baby sake, she just reluctantly allowed Lie Ruge to help her out with arranging the dishes on the table. After having their dinner, Madam Yi and Elder Yi rested a little before Lie Ruge saw them off.

"Ge'er, make sure to take very good care of the baby alright? You are at a very delicate stage in your pregnancy and any stress or accident might lead to a miscarriage or other complications. So be extra careful with what you do. I'm not saying you and Yi Lan should not have your little sweet time in bed like you normally do, but don't allow him to do you roughly, so that the baby will not be harmed. I know my son very well. He will stop if you tell him to. So don't forget to tell him to go easy on you if you see that he is getting all riled-up. Okay? I will not let the two of you go unscathed if you dare harm my grandchild, understood?" Elder Yi asked sternly to show her that he was serious about his threat.

"I will. Be rest assured. I won't let you and mum down," Lie Ruge said smiling. She would never misinterpret her mother-in-law and father-in-law for evil because she knows just how much they adored her. She knew that they were doing all this for her and the baby's sake.

"Yi Lan, don't you dare think that you can stop me from seeing my daughter? Just so you know, I will be visiting my daughter more often to check up on her health," Madam Yi shouted so that Yi Lan who was standing far away from them would hear her words. Her driver, who had already arrived about an hour ago to pick them up, drove off immediately when Elder Yi signalled him to drive.

Days flew by quickly and now it was just a few hours to Yi Lan and Lie Ruge's wedding. As they sat down at the balcony watching the night view in each other's embrace they could not help discussing how nervous they were.

"Ge'er, this is the first time in my life that I am this nervous and anxious to the extent that I am unable to fall asleep. It feels as though it was yesterday I met you in the club for the first-ever when we lost contact," Yi Lan said as he covered her well with the blanket, which was attempting to fall off.

"Same here. I didn't know that I would be so nervous a day before our wedding. Thinking back about that day in the club, I met you and the guys for the first time. I can't help thinking about your expression back then. When I pierced your shoe with my heels was so hilarious. Your expression felt as though you were going to murder me for that single act," Lie Ruge said as she laughed whole heartily.

"That wasn't my first time meeting you. I met you once before that particular night in the club and although I was very angry at you, I was also thrilled by your words and actions. I thought you were not only fun to be with, but also quite bold to inflict damage on me. I was a little interested in you because I thought we were alike in many aspects, not knowing that you were my little Ge'er," Yi Lan said as he cuddled her tightly.

"I guessed you remembered it wrongly. That night in the club was the first time we met," Lie Ruge tried to correct him.

"Of course that night wasn't the first time. I met you before that night. You are the one who does not recall it," Yi Lan said confidently.

"Really? Where did we meet for the first time after we became adults?" Lie Ruge asked curiously.

"We met for the first time coincidentally in a dark alley. That night after fighting fiercely with a group of assassins, which were sent by an old enemy, I ended up being shot by an unknown drug. Being drugged, I was helpless with no strength to defend myself since the major effects of the drug were paralysis. Since I don't normally go out with my men, there was no one in sight to help me and my men did not arrive on time to save me. Just when I was dragged into a dark alleyway, a lady came to my rescue. At first, I thought the lady was just bluffing when she challenged those fearsome assassins, but I was proved wrong when they began fighting. The way she attacked those people, shows that she knew what she was doing. That was the first time, in my long years in the martial arts world, that I had seen a lady fought so well. She killed those ten assassins cold-bloodedly without blinking an eye. She even gave me antidotes to wear out the effects of the drug. Although I didn't get to see her face very clearly, I could never forget her body features and the shower gel she used. I searched for her everywhere after that night, but no matter how much my men searched for her, they could not find her. She wasn't caught in the CCTV, so it was impossible to trace her. In the club I recognized you at first sight," Yi Lan said smiling at her lovingly.

"Are you implying that I am this mysterious lady?" Lie Ruge asked, a little confused.

"That is right. I purposely tried to get to know you, although I ended up being a jerk. Back then I didn't know how to approach you. I was really happy and relieved when I got to meet you in the club although your hair and your outfit weren't the same, I still recognized you. Haven't I told you before that my eyes and hands can never betray me when it comes to recognizing people, even without seeing their face or knowing who they are?" Yi Lan asked proudly as he tapped the tip of her nose playfully.

"You have told me that before? Hey, was that why you pulled me to your laps that night in the club?" Lie Ruge asked inquiringly as she quickly turned around to stare at him. Yi Lan shook his head affirmatively to clear her doubts.

"Have you flirted with other women in such a manner before you met me?" Lie Ruge asked as she threw him a suspicious glare.

"I didn't need to go to the extreme as I did with you. I just had to take a good look at them, then I would recognize that they weren't the one. Although, I have ever met someone so meticulous in hiding their identity like you did. I could always get to know their identity using the system instead of using the method I used on you that night," Yi Lan quickly vindicated himself.

"Does that mean you flirted with me purposely just to get even with me for annoying you?" Lie Ruge asked, still staring at him suspiciously.

"Bingo! You got me there," Yi Lan said smiling naughtily.

"You...," Lie Ruge was too shocked to say anything as she hit his chest gently. After resting for a few minutes, Lie Ruge became so sleepy so Yi Lan carried her inside the room and tucked her in. Early the next morning, they were woken up by the loud bangs on their bedroom door. The couple woke up at the same time when they heard the loud bang combined with noises outside their room. Yi Lan stood up to open the door for the intruders out of fear that they might break-in. Lie Ruge sat up straight on the bed while Yi Lan opened the door. Immediately they saw that the door was opened,  the intruders forced their way inside the room without Yi Lan's consent.

"Congratulations, my darling on your wedding," Xiao Bai said as she quickly pulled her best friend out of bed. Yun Yi and Tan Fan said the same words to Yi Lan as they forcefully dragged him to the couch.
