Wife, baby, and a warm bed.
Married by circumstance + love after pregnancy + doting love + everyday sweet moments + raising children + male lead's hidden crush comes true.
Outwardly...
Chapter 137: The sixteen-year-old King Zhizhi said he wanted to get married to his beloved on a snowy winter night.
A child's personality can be revealed from an early age.
Ji'an is a cheerful person. His grandmother said that he inherited his mother's personality and his father's appearance.
Shi Huai remembered that he really loved to laugh when he was a child. However, after his parents passed away one after another, the smile on his face faded and he became a little withdrawn and sensitive.
"What was Zhou Jibai's personality like when he was a child?" Shi Huai asked.
Hearing this, grandma pondered for a moment: "When Ji Bai was a child, he had a sullen face every day. If you didn't know him, you would think someone owed him hundreds of millions."
Shi Huai was slightly surprised. She thought Zhou Jibai was a lively and active person when he was a child.
No... Shi Huai thought back to when he first met Zhou Jibai at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Zhou Jibai had always been aloof and taciturn. He hadn't expected it to be his nature.
"Then why did you become such a dandy?"
Grandma: "It's puberty."
Shi Huai laughed out loud, not expecting grandma to say that.
Ji An heard Mommy laughing. Although he didn't know what Mommy was laughing at, he also curved his crescent eyes and giggled.
Zhou Jibai heard the laughter of his wife and son coming from inside the door and walked in slowly: "What are you talking about?"
The familiar voice made little Jian, who was sitting in Shi Huai's arms, couldn't help but raise his little head. When he saw that it was his father, he turned his head and buried his little face in Shi Huai's arms.
She was afraid that Zhou Jibai would take her away soon.
Like a little elf.
This scene amused Zhou Jibai. He stretched out his arms and took Ji An from Shi Huai's arms, regardless of whether he was willing or not, and placed him in the nanny's hands.
"Mom has taken care of you all day, let me take a break." She was educating him without caring whether Ji An could understand or not.
Shi Huai felt warm at first when he heard this, but the next second, Zhou Jibai sat in the empty seat next to him like a big shot, and put one leg on Shi Huai's leg: "Give your husband a leg massage."
Shi Huai smiled, "Okay."
So she clenched her fist, raised it high, and then hit Zhou Jibai's knee hard.
Zhou Jibai grimaced in pain: "Damn it, you're murdering your own husband."
Shi Huai said innocently, "Didn't you ask me to massage your legs?"
"Well, I'm just shooting myself in the foot." Zhou Jibai ignored the presence of his grandmother and the servants and leaned against Shi Huai affectionately, "It feels good to be pounded. Give me a couple more."
Shi Huai was shy and was so close to Zhou Jibai in front of so many people: "Stay away from me."
When Jian was in the nanny's arms, he saw his father clinging to his mother and thought his mother was being bullied. He struggled anxiously in the nanny's arms and burst into tears.
A pair of small hands kept reaching out towards Shi Huai.
"Oh my, you little kid, can't you see your son is crying? Get away from his mother quickly." Old Mrs. Zhou was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and scolded Zhou Jibai with a smile.
Zhou Jibai glanced at Ji An and said, "If you don't agree, just keep it to yourself."
Jian cried even louder.
Listening to the noise his son made, Zhou Jibai sighed helplessly, raised an eyebrow, and walked forward to take Ji An from the nanny's arms to his arms, "You still say you look like your mother? Your mother is much stronger than you."
Shi Huai felt quite comfortable being praised by Zhou Jibai, "That's right."
"You know, when your mother was pregnant with you—"
Zhou Jibai spoke half of his words slowly and lazily, but before he finished speaking, Shi Huai stood up and covered his mouth with one hand.
It turns out that he was waiting for me here!
Shi Huai glared at him a little angrily: "Didn't we agree not to bring up the past again?"
She had indeed done some things wrong before, which made Zhou Jibai scared for a long time.
As long as Zhou Jibai is not at home, as soon as I have free time, I must ask Shi Huai for directions. Ask her to send me the location and photos, otherwise this matter will not be over.
Shi Huai had to report to him eight hundred times every day.
Zhou Jibai held Ji An in one hand and tried to hold Shi Huai with the other. "Okay, I won't say anymore."
But Shi Huai dodged and didn't let him touch him.
"Angry?"
Shi Huai: "Do you think everyone is as petty as you?"
He said this, but he left with determination.
He told grandma that he was going back first, and then ran away before Zhou Jibai could blink.
Zhou Jibai watched Shi Huai's back as he ran away like a little rabbit, a faint smile curling up at the corner of his lips: "Look at your mother, she's so arrogant. Does she think I can't catch up with her just because I'm carrying a little burden like you?"
Being called a "little burden" by his father, Ji An seemed to be able to hear that it was not a good thing! His brows were tightly furrowed, and he snorted with a pout.
Zhou Jibai: "Hold your dad tight."
After saying that, he ran towards the door holding little Jian, following closely in Shi Huai's footsteps.
Although Ji'an didn't understand anything, he was extremely happy when his father carried him around and thought his father was taking him out to play.
Shi Huai heard footsteps behind him, turned around and saw Zhou Jibai running towards him holding Ji An.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you running?"
Zhou Jibai pointed at Ji An in his arms with his chin: "He is going to chase her."
Jian blinked his big round eyes twice and tilted his head as if he didn't understand anything.
Originally, Shi Huai just wanted to tease the father and son, but he didn't expect that Zhou Jibai was really afraid that he would run away, so he ran after him.
"It's snowing outside again, the ground is slippery, don't run. What if you fall?" Shi Huai said, his eyes involuntarily looking outside the corridor.
Zhou Jibai and Ji'an tacitly followed Shi Huai's gaze and looked at the snow scene outside the corridor.
This is the first snow that seven-month-old Jian has seen in his life.
It was white, floated, and moved with the wind. It was a very rare thing for him, and it made him extremely excited.
He was babbling and waving his hands excitedly.
Zhou Jibai helped Ji'an straighten his hat which was a little crooked.
Shi Huai took the initiative to move closer to Zhou Jibai, put his arm around Zhou Jibai's arm naturally and intimately, and then leaned his head on his shoulder.
A smile appeared in Zhou Jibai's eyes, and he lowered his eyelids to take in Shi Huai's smile.
This year, the three of them enjoyed the snow in Changjing together.
…
The snow fell all night long, and the outside was covered with white.
Shi Huai and Ji An slept soundly in bed, unaware that the person next to them had long disappeared.
The mother and son slept until noon before opening their eyes.
Ji'an's cheeks were red from sleeping, like little apples, looking so fresh and juicy that people couldn't help but want to take a bite of them.
"Where's your father?" Shi Huai held Ji'an in his arms and dressed him quite skillfully.
Ji An blinked twice blankly, looked at the place where Zhou Jibai usually slept, and tilted his head, "Babababa Daddy?"
Now Ji'an will imitate and shout "Baba Mama", he is very smart!
Shi Huai also dressed neatly and went out holding Ji An.
I was wondering why Zhou Jibairen disappeared when I opened my eyes.
On weekdays, even when Zhou Jibai was at work, he would still kiss her and would not stop until he woke her up. This was just to say something to her in person.
"I'm going to work, you continue to sleep."
There was no wake-up call today, and Shi Huai felt a little uncomfortable.
Besides, today is the weekend, Zhou Jibai will definitely not go to the group.
Just as I was about to take out my phone to send a message to Zhou Jibai to ask him where he was, I found that Zhou Jibai had already sent me a message early in the morning.
[Little Husband]: Temporary group meeting.
[Little Husband]: I’ll be back later.
[Little Husband]: Remember to send me a message when you wake up.
【Little Husband】Don’t forget.
Shi Huai finally felt relieved when he saw that Zhou Jibai had gone to the group to attend a meeting.
Shi Huai planned to reply to Zhou Jibai's message later, but Zhou Jibai was like installing a camera in his phone. Just as she was about to put the phone away, Zhou Jibai's message came again.
【Little Husband】: Are you awake?
Shi Huai pursed his lips, then lowered his head to type.
[Zhizhi]: Yeah, I just woke up.
[Zhizhi]: Why didn’t you tell me you were going out?
[Little Husband]: Seeing you sleeping so soundly, I can’t bear to leave you.
【Zhizhi】:What time will you be back?
[Little Husband]: Not sure, I will be back late today.
[Zhizhi]: Okay...
The chat ended here.
Shi Huai has nothing to do at home, except playing with the kids, doing some exercise, and taking care of his body.
After giving birth, her figure remained unchanged, she looked younger, and her body recovered quickly. However, she still needed to take good care of herself, as it was impossible to give birth to another life without wearing out her body.
The day was quite busy and fulfilling.
It gets dark quickly on winter nights. Shi Huai had finished dinner and coaxed Ji An to sleep, but Zhou Jibai still hadn't come back.
Shi Huai thought, is today's work so difficult? A whole day has passed, and he still hasn't come back?
She knew Zhou Jibai, and no one would ask him to work overtime for even a second.
It was also surprising, Zhou Jibai would never go to the group on weekends. I didn't expect him to go today and be busy so late.
Shi Huai sighed lightly, lying on the bed with a facial mask on and sending him a message.
[Zhizhi]: When will you come back?
Zhou Jibai replied almost instantly.
【Zhou Jibai】: Go downstairs.
Shi Huai was slightly stunned.
What are you doing downstairs?
But Shi Huai did as she was told. She first went to the bathroom to remove the mask and wash her face. Too lazy to change out of her pajamas, she casually threw on a warm white fleece jacket and went downstairs to find Zhou Jibai.
The snow still continued tonight. The fine snowflakes were blown by the cold wind and hit his face. Shi Huai was so cold when he came out of the heated house that he could not help but wrap his coat tightly.
As soon as she stepped out of the door, all the lights suddenly came on for her, illuminating the dark courtyard.
Only then did Shi Huai see clearly that the entire courtyard had been carefully prepared, and a whole field of out-of-season flowers suddenly appeared in her eyes.
The flowers that do not belong to winter are blooming only for her at this moment.
Zhou Jibai stood in the windy and snowy night, his tie and hair slightly lifted by the wind. He walked towards Shi Huai with a bouquet of gorgeous red roses in his hand.
Shi Huai was a little confused, having not expected this scene at all.
She blinked twice: "What day is it today?"
Zhou Jibai's lips curled up slightly, his tone was gentle and sweet, and his deep affection was about to overflow, "What day do you want today to be?"
Shi Huai's eyes sparkled as he looked at the delicate and romantic rose wall in front of him. "You're not proposing, are you?"
At this point, Shi Huai's voice could no longer be controlled and he began to choke up.
Zhou Jibai knew that his wife was very clever and he could not hide anything from her.
"Sixteen-year-old King Zhizhi said he wanted to secretly marry his beloved in a snowy winter, in a place filled with all kinds of flowers."
Shi Huai laughed out loud.
This is indeed what I longed for when I was young.
Guangnan's winters are snowless, and she longed for the cold, snowy nights. But she also loved the flowers that bloomed in spring. So she silently made a vow: spring flowers would blend with winter snow. She wanted both extreme romances to come to her simultaneously.
But he didn't expect that what he said casually was firmly remembered by Zhou Jibai.
Then, tears as big as beans rolled down from her eyes. Her head lowered slightly, and her hot tears dripped onto the thick snow, burning tear holes, which were the proof of her love.
The tears shed by Shi Huai not only melted the snow, but also melted Zhou Jibai's heart.
He placed one hand in his coat pocket, his fingertips nervously stroking the red velvet on the box.
"Your tears are like little pearls, they hurt my heart." Zhou Jibai walked slowly forward and handed a big bouquet of roses to Shi Huai.
Before he could speak, Shi Huai took the bunch of red roses that were as dazzling as blazing fire, and began to nod like a chicken pecking at rice, saying all the time: "I do, I do, I do!"
Zhou Jibai was amused by Shi Huai's enthusiastic response: "I haven't taken out the ring yet."
Shi Huai threw herself into Zhou Jibai's arms and put her arms around his neck: "I am willing to marry you even without a ring."
Pearls of tears kept sliding down her fair cheeks. Zhou Jibai couldn't help but bend down and kiss away her tears bit by bit.
Zhou Jibai took out the ring he had customized long ago from his pocket and took Shi Huai's hand. "Excuse me, dear Ms. Shi Huai, will you marry me?"
In the cold, blue-tinged winter night, tears blurred Shi Huai's vision. The diamond ring appeared in her eyes, dazzling: "I, I do!"
Zhou Jibai laughed heartily, and Shi Huai could clearly feel that the hand holding hers and putting the ring on her ring finger was trembling.
The moment the ring was firmly on Shi Huai's ring finger, brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, streaking across the sky like a meteor shower.
In the fleeting moment of the fireworks, Shi Huai once again embraced Zhou Jibai's arms.
She hadn't expected Zhou Jibai to propose to her again. They had already had a wedding and a lovely child.
The marriage has reached the final chapter of happiness, but Zhou Jibai is unexpectedly always thinking about the romance he wants.
Shi Huai stood on tiptoe, held Zhou Jibai's face and kissed him several times before stopping.
"How can you be so nice?"
Zhou Jibai brushed the snow off Shi Huai's shoulders naturally. "What can I do? I've fallen on you."
"Okay, I'm yours now, so you can't let me down." Zhou Jibai opened his arms towards Shi Huai.
Shi Huai cried and laughed, and her tears could not stop flowing. She promised seriously: "I will treat you well for the rest of my life."
"You're so stingy, you're only going to be nice to me for the rest of my life?"
Shi Huai immediately changed his words and threw himself into his arms for the third time: "I will treat you well in all my lives!"
