Ye Yun wholeheartedly supported Qin Zheng's plans, handing over every penny of the profits from the garment factory and pastry shop to him without hesitation.

She knew Qin Zheng's abilities better than anyone else.

In his past life, he was a master strategist who rose to a position that others could only dream of, able to turn the world upside down with a flick of his wrist.

He just took a different path in this life.

Because of this unexpected turn of events, Qin Zheng did not continue down that path, but instead chose to go into business.

Ye Yun believed that with Qin Zheng's abilities, he would definitely thrive in the business world. He was now a rising star.

The second and third trimesters are the period when the fetus grows bigger.

There are different changes almost every day.

Ye Yun could clearly feel the fetal movements becoming more and more frequent. Qin Zheng also seemed to be bewitched. Every time he washed her feet, he would stick his hand to her belly and talk to the little baby inside her for a while.

Regardless of whether the other person could understand, she kept calling him "daughter" over and over, happier than anyone else.

Ye Yun would initially correct him, saying, "Maybe it's a boy."

Qin Zheng didn't argue, but grinned and said happily, "A kid is fine too. If he's a kid, I'll train him to protect you. That way, you'll have one more person to protect you. But I still want a daughter."

After saying that, he pressed his hand against her belly and called her "daughter".

But the little baby in Qin Zheng's belly seemed to understand Qin Zheng's words. Every time Qin Zheng spoke to him, the baby would kick his belly twice in response.

Every time this happened, Qin Zheng would beam with joy, pointing to his throbbing belly and boasting to Ye Yun, "Look, honey, our daughter is responding! It's definitely a girl!"

Okay, okay, my daughter.

It's your daughter, okay?

Ye Yun was finally tired of talking.

At first, she wanted to advise Qin Zheng not to be too persistent. What if it wasn't a daughter but a son? Wouldn't the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment?

But judging from Qin Zheng's appearance, it would probably be useless for her to try to give him a heads-up.

The Gregorian calendar year is almost here.

Qin Zheng has recently found a construction team and started working on the land in the provincial capital.

Gu Jin, all alone, moved to the provincial capital and took over most of the decision-making, which gave Qin Zheng a lot of free time, so he no longer had to work from dawn till dusk every day.

Another one is that Lao Gao also came.

Lao Gao originally had no intention of continuing forward. He was an extremely easily satisfied person with no great ambitions and no unavoidable life pressures.

The parents he wanted to take care of were no longer alive, and he had never married or had children, nor had he earned enough money.

Opening a company in a county town, becoming a small business owner, and then just living day to day, living a life of leisure and waiting to die, is perfectly fine.

Seeing Qin Zheng and Gu Jin striding forward with such confidence, he couldn't resist investing some money.

That was a good shot.

Gu Jin caught him and dragged him to the provincial capital to supervise the construction.

It's another morning.

The snow and frost turned the roadside weeds yellow, and the air was incredibly damp and cold, stinging people's faces like an icy knife cutting into them.

Ye Yun, dressed in heavy clothes, saw Qin Zheng off at the door.

"Be careful when riding your motorcycle. It snowed yesterday, and the snow on the road probably hasn't melted yet. Don't come back if it gets too late. Stay in the provincial capital." Ye Yun adjusted the man's earmuffs, tucked his military overcoat in, and wrapped his scarf tightly around him.

Whenever it snows, she can't help but worry about him; it would be better to let him live in the provincial capital.

After Qin Zheng obediently enjoyed his wife tidying him up, he raised his thick eyebrows slightly and his tough voice softened with a hint of gentleness: "I know, wife. You don't need to worry about me. Go back quickly, it's cold outside."

Ye Yun nodded.

"Oh, right,"

She then remembered something else and quickly added, "There are still two months until the New Year. You can look for some rare items in the provincial capital, and we can buy some and take them back to our hometown."

Qin Zheng casually replied, "It's still early."

"Hey, you just don't understand, do you?"

Ye Yun pinched his high, straight nose that was sticking out from under his scarf, giving him a playful glare.

"Now is the time to look for good things, like melon seeds and candy, things that don't expire easily, so you can buy them now, instead of having to pay a lot more money when everything goes up in price at the end of the year."

Her coquettish pout was even more beautiful than the winter plum blossom blooming in the snow on the windowsill.

Qin Zheng was itching to get his hands on it.

"Yes, wife!"

"Give me a kiss!"

After saying that, he quickly leaned down and stole a kiss on Ye Yun's face, just like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Before Ye Yun could react, he strode onto the motorcycle and turned to Ye Yun, saying, "Honey, come inside quickly, it's cold outside. I'm leaving now, I'll bring you something delicious when I come back tonight!"

The roar of motorcycles suddenly filled the air.

Amidst the snowy landscape, Qin Zheng rode his motorcycle away with a deafening roar, leaving only a trail of black exhaust fumes behind.

Ye Yun couldn't help but take two steps back.

She waved her hand to disperse the motorcycle exhaust fumes that had filled her nose, and smiled helplessly.

This man is sometimes experienced and composed, mature like an old man, and sometimes impetuous and rash like a young boy who has just grown up.

"It's so cold..."

Ye Yun shivered from the cold, tucked her hands into her sleeves, and hurriedly turned and went into the warm little house.

The heavy curtain fell with a thud.

This scene, including the tender moment when Ye Yun and Qin Zheng kissed goodbye, was all seen by a pair of eyes hiding in the shadows.

Her eyes were wide open, filled with resentment, and hatred almost overflowed from her eyes.

A hand was pressed against the corner of the wall, the back of which was covered in swollen chilblains. Bleeding from the fingertips, which were almost embedded in the wall due to her intense hatred.

She was still wearing the uniform from Lantian Garment Factory.

But when he stared at Ye Yun, his eyes were filled with such hatred that it seemed he wanted to tear Ye Yun to pieces.

"Ye Yun, it really is you..."
