At night, Xiao Lingyu got up again in the dark and went to the kitchen with a flashlight. She wanted to find something to eat, but there was nothing in the kitchen, so she made herself a bowl of noodles to satisfy her hunger.

Just as Xiao Lingyu turned on the gas stove and was about to boil some hot water, the kitchen light came on.

Mother Xiao, in her pajamas, stood at the kitchen door. Seeing Xiao Lingyu sneaking around, she sternly asked, "Xiao Lingyu, what are you doing? Why didn't you turn on the light?"

The guilty Xiao Lingyu was immediately frightened by Mother Xiao's question.

She explained, "Mom, I... I was just hungry and wanted to come to the kitchen to eat a bowl of noodles. Mom, why are you up? Are you also hungry? Why don't I also cook you a bowl of noodles?"

Mother Xiao asked sharply, "If you're hungry and want to cook, why are you sneaking around like a thief?"

Xiao Lingyu said, "I... I was just afraid of disturbing you and dad."

"Haha..." Mother Xiao chuckled coldly.

Xiao Lingyu was scared. She had a bad feeling. Then the question came...

"Xiao Lingyu, this is not your first time coming to the kitchen to find something to eat, right?" Mother Xiao asked coldly.

"Of course, it's my first time." Xiao Lingyu smiled embarrassedly. "I was hungry in the middle of the night, so I came to the kitchen, and Mom, you caught me."

"Stop lying!" Mother Xiao glared at her and said with a serious expression, "Xiao Lingyu, do you think I'm blind or a fool? I always know how many things are there in the kitchen. And our gas is getting drained faster than usual."

Xiao Lingyu's expression froze, and her face turned slightly pale. She explained, "Mom... I... I was hungry once in a while at night, so I got up sometimes to cook for myself."

"Once in a while? Sometimes?" Mother Xiao scoffed. "Xiao Lingyu, do you still want to lie to your mom? You've been sneaking up to the kitchen every night, right?"

Xiao Lingyu was shocked and panicked. She said, "Mom, I... I..."

"You're pregnant, right?" Mother Xiao asked directly, "Your appetite is obviously much bigger than before. In addition, you've been unusually careful these days. You even touched your stomach from time to time. I am the mother of two kids. Do you think I can't tell? Xiao Lingyu, do you still want to lie to me?"

This time, Mother Xiao was unusually serious and fierce.

Xiao Lingyu was pregnant. The father of the child was unknown. If this child was born, how would her daughter be able to marry in the future?

"Mom... I..." Xiao Lingyu didn't know how to respond to Mother Xiao's stern questioning. "I didn't lie to you on purpose."

"Then, what were you doing earlier?!" Mother Xiao suppressed her anger and demanded, "Xiao Lingyu, I'm your mother. How could you keep this from me? If I didn't spot you this time, how long do you plan to keep it from me? Do you want to wait until the child is born?"

Since the matter was exposed, Xiao Lingyu said firmly, "Mom, I really did plan to tell you after a while. But since you already know the truth, I will tell you my decision. I will give birth to this child!" Xiao Lingyu could be extremely stubborn. Once she made up her mind, nothing could change it.

When Mother Xiao heard her daughter, her head buzzed, and her body swayed.

"Mom!" Xiao Lingyu called out worriedly.
