Chapter 95 Ordinary Happiness

The four men, whose combined age is over a hundred, are still acting like little kids, making a lively ruckus in the living room.

There's also the title of Deputy Elder Shen, Patriarch Feng, Master Si, and Director Shen.

If those subordinates who bow and scrape to them every day saw this, wouldn't they be utterly shocked?

So much noise that her head was throbbing, Lu Zhenyu, clutching her pregnant belly, went to find the girls.

She walked through the corridor and arrived at the kitchen.

He reached out and pushed open the tightly closed door.

"What a joke!"

The place was shrouded in smoke; anyone who didn't know better would think they had arrived in heaven.

Lu Zhenyu fanned the smoke in front of her, covered her mouth and walked inside, bumping into someone.

What are you doing?

The usually composed Bei Tingwan had a face covered in cat poop. When she saw it was her, she quickly pulled her outside, saying, "Don't come in, Zhenzhen, it's poisonous, run!"

Shi Yiqiao and Xiaomeng ran out right after, shouting, "Quick, call 119!"

Before the smell of burning food wafted from the kitchen, there was a loud "bang"!

The husbands, who were having a chaotic battle in the living room, paused in their actions!

The next second, the girls ran out hand in hand.

Shen Jingsi reacted the fastest, rushing over to shield Lu Zhenyu in his arms.

"What's wrong?"

“Fried… vomit… fried…” Lu Zhenyu frowned and dry heaved repeatedly.

"It exploded! It exploded inside!" Bei Tingwan, her face covered in soot, coughed violently. Feng Jinheng pulled her into his arms and patted her back. "What exploded?"

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Shi Yiqiao and Xiaomeng, who suffered the most severe persecution, squatted on the steps outside and coughed, their tonsils almost coming out.

Si Wuwei, who was behind them, pursed his lips and drooped his eyes as he handed them a bottle of water, and the two of them rinsed their mouths.

Xiaomeng collapsed to the ground. "It's Manman! She was making desserts and blew up the microwave."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jinchuan, who was in the living room, turned around and rushed inside.

In a kitchen filled with the smell of smoke, you couldn't see a ghost, let alone a person.

Shen Jinchuan, who was rushing in with the servants who were carrying fire hydrants, was about to call for help.

"Wow! It really worked!"

Feng Manman finally managed to open the microwave oven and was about to take out the "cake" when a hand reached out from behind her waist and swiftly pulled it out.

"Who! Who dares to murder me!"

A deep, angry voice came from above his head, "Your man."

"..."

In the living room.

Shen Jingsi was the most nervous, checking his wife inside and out.

Lu Zhenyu, whose face was a little dirty, smiled with a miserable look on her face. "I was pulled out by Wanwan less than a minute after I went in. I'm really fine."

His wife was alright, so he put his ear to her pregnant belly and asked, "Where's our daughter? Are you alright in there?"

Lu Zhenyu: "..."

Across from her, Bei Tingwan, wilted from the smoke, sat blankly on the sofa, her pupils almost dilated.

Feng Jinheng, his shirt loosely draped, knelt before his wife, carefully wiping her dusty, wet face with a towel.

Shi Yiqiao and Xiaomeng, who sat next to each other, helped each other.

The girl ignored the officer who was pacing back and forth behind her, trying to get his attention.

Lu Zhenyu looked at everyone, "Is everyone alright?"

The girls shook their heads.

Xiaomeng said, "Luckily, the three of us knew early on that Manman was unreliable and stayed far away from her, otherwise we would all have been poisoned to death."

When Feng Manman was mentioned, Lu Zhenyu realized what was happening. Before she could ask, she saw Shen Jinchuan, with a stern face, lift her out like a little chick.

"Oh, here comes the self-proclaimed world's number one pastry chef!"

Si Wuwei, who turned his head to look, was so shocked by the scene before him that he was speechless.

The next second, she burst out laughing, clutching her stomach and pointing, "Hahahaha! You...hahahaha!"

Everyone turned their heads at the sound, and what they saw...

"..."

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

The room erupted in laughter.

With her hair in a honeycomb-like mess, Feng Manman, completely bewildered, held up an unidentified object the same color as her charred face and grinned at everyone.

Of all his body, his inner row of big white teeth is the clearest.

Everyone burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs and bending over backward.

Some laughed so hard they fell into their husbands' arms, some laughed so hard they cried into their wives' necks, and some all laughed so hard they collapsed on the floor.

Shen Jinchuan was genuinely angry, but their laughter...

The girl, with her big, dark eyes and charred face, turned around and asked, "What are they all laughing at?"

"Pfft."

He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

I can't bear to look, I really can't bear to look. I bit my lip and turned my face away, thinking of all the difficult things I could think of in my life.

Taking a deep breath and calming himself down, Shen Jinchuan picked him up again and said, "You're so cute, baby."

Feng Manman blinked. "Really?"

He nodded seriously, without blinking, "Really."

Feng Manman, who was in charge of controlling the land, darkened her face. "Then why did you switch to carrying me?"

"So cute, let's go upstairs and give baby a bath."

"..."

After the blunder, the kitchen was definitely unusable, and dinner was prepared and delivered by a restaurant.

It was a rare occasion for old friends to gather together, and with a series of good things happening recently, everyone at the table was in high spirits.

Feng Manman, dressed in Lu Zhenyu's clothes, had drunk quite a bit tonight. In a moment of high spirits, she jumped up from the stool, her feet barely touching the ground.

"Friends, I propose we raise our glasses to celebrate Zhenzhen and her husband's double happiness, and then to celebrate the complete downfall of the Zheng family. Cheers!"

The glasses clinked crisply in the air, and everyone shouted in unison, "Cheers!"

After a few drinks, everyone's faces flushed, and the atmosphere in the restaurant became increasingly lively.

Just as the officer pulled out a cigarette from somewhere and put it in his mouth, a hand descended from the sky.

It was pulled out.

"Huh?" Siwei looked at Shen Jingsi.

The man didn't even lift his eyelids; he loosened his long fingers, and the half-burnt cigarette fell into the wine glass.

Shen Jinchuan, who was standing next to her, explained, "Brother Wei, secondhand smoke is bad for pregnant women."

Siwei chuckled, "So you know all this stuff, huh?"

Shen Jingsi said, "He knows so much, isn't it all thanks to you?"

Thinking of that incident, Siwei chuckled twice, then turned away guiltily and remained silent.

Feng Manman looked over with her two pink cheeks, "What do you mean? What kind of good deeds have you guys been up to behind my back?"

Feng Jinheng, who had just taken a sip of wine, put down his glass and slowly leaned back. "He was too quick to speak and mistakenly thought you were pregnant. He then turned around and tattled on you, making Jin Chuan think he was going to be a father. He's been reading a book on pregnancy knowledge every day."

This is a long story.

A few months ago, the three girls secretly went to the hospital for a check-up, and the bodyguard responsible for their covert protection told Shen Jingsi about it.

At that time, Si Wei was in his office. As soon as he saw the three words "Feng Manman" written on the pregnancy test report, he turned around and told Shen Jinchuan, who was away on a business trip abroad.

Feng Manman slammed her hand on the table, suddenly realizing what was happening!

profound!

She said, "You said you'd be going abroad for two weeks, how come you're back in just five days?"

He stayed at her house every day and wouldn't leave. He was perfectly fine, even taking a dump, when suddenly he barged in and proposed.

"They even tried to carry me to the Civil Affairs Bureau without warning, saying that we should get married before my belly gets too big."

Feng Manman understands now!

Turning to Siwei, she said, "It's all because of you!"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Siwei looked around and said, "Doesn't this indirectly strengthen your relationship?"

Shen Jinchuan said, "That was very helpful. Don't do it again next time."

God knows how devastating the psychological gap between being on top of the world in one second and falling to the ground in the next can be.

When he learned that the girl wasn't pregnant and the marriage couldn't proceed, he lay in bed for several days to recover.

Hearing the giggles in his arms, Shen Jingsi pulled her closer, his alcohol-burnt palms gently stroking her pregnant belly.

The smile in his fox-like eyes showed he was genuinely happy.

He lowered his head, his thin lips close to his ear, "Wife, do you like it?"

Did Lu Zhenyu know that he meant she liked this kind of life?

She looked up and smiled, "I like it, I like it very much."

Lu Zhenyu is not a talkative girl, but she also likes lively atmospheres.

Especially when a group of people get together and joke around, this atmosphere makes her feel enveloped in a strong sense of security.

I remember that before, whenever Shen Jingsi and his brothers got together to play, they would bring her along.

At that time, there were only two girls at the table.

Manman is an outgoing person who makes friends easily and can have a great time with them.

She was quiet and liked to sit in a corner listening to the brothers' banter, occasionally chuckling along.

The generals usually chased after the commander and fired their cannons.

Shen Jing is the most wicked, Feng Jinheng is someone I can stab at both sides of, and Shen Jinchuan is a man of few words, but when he utters a cold remark, it's enough to make one's heart ache for half a day.

As they were playing around, Shen Jingsi wanted to check on his little girl's condition, so he leaned down and whispered in her ear to ask if she wanted to eat anything, if she was thirsty, or if she was bored or sleepy.

Perhaps because she had such a happy childhood, Lu Zhenyu always felt that the smoke rising from the chimneys of ordinary people's homes and the tangible, down-to-earth reality should be just like this.

The men were allowed to drink and chat in the restaurant, while the women gathered in the living room to whisper secrets.

"You should be six months along now. How did your prenatal checkup go?"

Bei Tingwan gently stroked her pregnant belly, her eyes filled with love.

"Today is exactly 25 weeks, and the doctor said that the test results are all normal so far."

After saying that, Lu Zhenyu looked at her prominent belly and said with a smile, "Thank goodness."

After finishing her work messages, Shi Yiqiao put down her phone and sat down, staring at her belly, which was moving occasionally, like a curious child.

"Pearl, let me ask you a question. What's it like having a little person in your belly? Aren't you worried that she might suddenly fall out when you go to the toilet?"

"Pfft!" The two girls burst out laughing.

Bei Tingwan was both amused and exasperated. "Do you think that's like laying an egg, where you just gather your strength and it comes out?"

Lu Zhenyu laughed, her pregnant belly trembling. "I don't know about others, but at least she hasn't had any fall out yet, hahaha."

Shi Yiqiao stuck out her tongue and touched her pregnant belly. "So how do you feel right now? Are you happy?"

Are you happy?

Wiping away tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, Lu Zhenyu's lips curled into a gentle smile, "I'm so happy."

Shi Yiqiao looked at Bei Tingwan, "Are you happy?"

Stroking the wedding ring on her ring finger, Bei Tingwan thought for a moment, then nodded, "Happiness."

Looking back at Xiaomeng, who was lying on the sofa, swinging her little feet and holding her face while reading, she asked, "Mengbao, are you happy?"

"Of course I'm happy," Xiaomeng said. "Living in such a big house with Zhenzhen every day, and having so many books to read, I'm so happy I could die."

Shi Yiqiao turned her head to ask again, but there was no one there. "Hey? Where's Manman?"

Bei Tingwan explained, "I just got a phone call, and as soon as I heard her second brother was back, she ran off like a shot."

Xiao Meng glanced over and thought, "Is that the major general Manman was talking about, the one with the roguish good looks and who exudes a tough guy aura?"

Bei Tingwan nodded, "Yes, I heard it was a three-month vacation, and I just returned to Beijing today."
