Before Ye Yun could speak, the phone receiver was taken from her hand. Turning her head, she saw Qin Zheng, who had followed her downstairs at some point.

"What's the rush?" Qin Zheng said into the phone, a hint of displeasure in his expression.

After hearing something said on the other end of the phone, Qin Zheng scoffed, "You're like you're on a death knell. Are you afraid you won't get married, or has Zheng Song suddenly changed his mind and doesn't want you anymore?"

Ye Yun: "..."

What a sharp tongue.

Tian Xiaohui on the other end of the phone was clearly also getting angry from the scolding. She rattled off a whole bunch of things. The receiver was right next to Qin Zheng's ear, so Ye Yun couldn't hear it, but she vaguely sensed that it wasn't anything nice.

Qin Zheng remained expressionless and said coldly, "You can have Zheng Song take the afternoon off, okay?"

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

The movement was swift and decisive, leaving no room for Tian Xiaohui to chatter on.

After finishing, Qin Zheng leaned down and gently kissed Ye Yun on the cheek. He then touched her still sleepy face with his large hand and whispered, "Do you want to go upstairs and sleep a little longer?"

He knew that pregnant women were prone to sleepiness.

Ye Yun loved to sleep when she was pregnant with Xiao Chuqi. At that time, she was too busy and worked hard outside all day. She would take a break and sleep for a whole night and a whole morning.

She's only just recovered from her pregnancy when she got pregnant with her second child, so she's naturally sleeping even more.

In a way, he was the one who wronged Ye Yun.

After marrying him, Ye Yun almost never had a chance to enjoy life. There was always someone who needed her, and she didn't get proper rest even when she was pregnant.

Ye Yun nodded.

"Okay!"

Qin Zheng leaned down and kissed her forehead again, then slipped his arms under her knees and carefully lifted her up in his arms, carrying her steadily upstairs.

Even while pregnant, picking up Ye Yun was an easy task for him.

The morning sunlight was exceptionally gentle.

Back in the room, Qin Zheng gently placed Ye Yun into the soft quilt.

The bright sunlight streamed through the window, gently illuminating her smooth, porcelain-like face. Her long, jet-black hair lay lazily beside her delicate ears, making the once quiet bedroom feel exceptionally warm and inviting.

The quilt was warm and cozy under the sun.

The soft, fluffy quilt against her skin felt incredibly comfortable. Beside her was Qin Zheng's even breathing. Having long been accustomed to the sound of a man's breathing, Ye Yun felt exceptionally at ease and quickly drifted off to sleep again.

Qin Zheng, however, couldn't sleep.

Having already had enough sleep, he gazed deeply at the sleeping face of the little woman in his arms, his eyes softening as if they were pools of spring water.

Right now, he has only one impulse!

He pulled Ye Yun into his arms tightly and kissed her, kissed her hard, kissed her fiercely!

But he couldn't.

He couldn't bear to wake Ye Yun.

Tragic as he was, he could only suppress his impulse, gently stroking Ye Yun's face with his large, kind hand, then lowering his head slightly to carefully place another kiss on her lips.

"Hmm..." Ye Yun seemed to feel something and let out an uncomfortable whimper.

Qin Zheng's face suddenly turned red.

He immediately got up, his face flushed, and dared not look at Ye Yun on the bed again. He ran into the bathroom as if his life depended on it.

...

At 2 PM, Tian Xiaohui, looking dejected, brought Zheng Song to the small villa.

After being scolded by Qin Zheng on the phone, she looked extremely aggrieved, and angrily turned her head away whenever she saw Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng: "..."

Ye Yun looked at the two of them, blinking her eyes in confusion. What was going on?

Tian Xiaohui snorted coldly, walked over and took Ye Yun's hand, not even glancing at Qin Zheng, and led her towards the car.

"Come on, sister-in-law, let's go home!"

Ye Yun was stunned.

Girl, are you sure you want to ignore the driver like that?

At this moment, Qin Zheng and Zheng Song walked towards the big tree ten meters away. Zheng Song handed Qin Zheng a cigarette, lit it, and the two talked to each other, occasionally glancing at Ye Yun and Tian Xiaohui.

The distance was too great for Ye Yun to hear what they were saying.

However, Zheng Song still exuded a relaxed feeling as usual, with a faint smile in her eyes, and her gaze was fixed on Tian Xiaohui beside her.

Qin Xiang'e also finished tidying up and came out.

Since she was going back to her hometown, Qin Xiang'e was determined to visit the old lady.

Qin Zheng had previously said he would bring the old lady to the county town, and he had sent someone there, but the old lady absolutely refused to come. Qin Zheng hadn't gone in person either, and he was busy lately, so he had to give up on the matter.

This time when she went back, Qin Xiang'e planned to personally persuade the old lady.

Judging from Qin Zheng and Ye Yun's attitude, they'll probably settle down in the county town, or maybe even the provincial capital.

As long as the old lady is in the countryside, they worry about her. They are all very busy people these days, and they have to go to the countryside to check on her from time to time, which takes up so much of their time.

As for Xiao Chuqi, Ye Yun did not bring him.

Going to the countryside is not uncommon, but Xiao Chuqi is too young, and it would be too much trouble to take her along. Fortunately, Ye Xia is also at home, so leaving Xiao Chuqi behind gives Ye Xia a sense of security.

Anyway, with a nanny looking after them, nothing bad will happen to Xiao Chuqi and Ye Xia.

Two quarters of an hour later they arrived at Blackwater Village.

Five people were sitting in a car, and the trunk was full of gifts that Zheng Song had bought for Tian Xiaohui's parents. When they carried the bags of gifts to Tian Xiaohui's house, the villagers who were watching were moved to tears.

Goodness, they've come to propose marriage!

Who would spend so much on a marriage proposal?

Tian Xiaohui's parents had already received the news and hurriedly welcomed Zheng Song into the house.

Tian Xiaohui's brother and sister-in-law also took leave yesterday to go home because of this matter. One of them kept Zheng Song company while the other served him tea and water, making it quite lively.

After exchanging only a few words, Aunt Tiantian rushed out to prepare dinner.

There's really nothing more to say.

Yesterday, after Tian Dalei and his wife arrived home, they told Tian Xiaohui's father and Tian Dalei about Zheng Song's situation in detail. They already knew about Zheng Song's family and work situation. Moreover, this marriage was arranged by Qin Zheng, and the other party was Qin Zheng's brother, so they could trust his character. Otherwise, would Qin Zheng have cheated them?

Aunt Tian's opinion of Zheng Song was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law; the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

Although he lost his father and there's no father to lead the family, he himself is reliable.

As soon as Zheng Song entered the room, they exchanged a few words with him and found that the young man spoke gently and calmly, which showed that he had a good temper.

He has a square face, big eyes, a large and strong build, and a proper job.

Their daughter is barely literate, carefree, and thoughtless. It's like their ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke if they can meet such a family!

Aunt Tian was crying her eyes out.

"Zhengzi's wife, do you know? I never thought Xiaohui could marry into a good family. She's only grown tall and never learned anything. All she does is tease cats and dogs all day long. With her loud and boisterous personality, she'd have to marry at least a brave butcher to tame her!"
