Chapter 401 I won't let you go even if it costs me my life

Although Tanxi Garden is large and has many guest rooms, it is not convenient for Yun Zheng and Fu Linghe, the newlyweds, to have the elders of the Mo family live there permanently.

So after the engagement party, they bought a villa near Tanxiyuan.

In the past two days, they have been living in the villa they bought. Whenever they are free during the day, they will come to accompany Yun Zheng.

Sunlight streamed into the master bedroom of Tanxiyuan through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Yun Zheng had just changed into a loose lilac-colored dress, and the star-shaped bell on her wrist made tiny sounds as she moved.

She lowered her head and stroked her lower abdomen, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised in a gentle arc.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the living room downstairs, and Wu Ma's voice could be heard faintly, "Mr. Mo, Mr. Mo, you are here."

Yun Zheng's eyes lit up and she walked quickly towards the stairs, but was stopped by a pair of strong arms at the last step.

Fu Linghe appeared behind her without her knowing when, his brows slightly furrowed. "Walk slowly."

His palms naturally protected her waist, and his voice was filled with helpless doting.

"Grandpa and the others are here!" Yun Zheng looked up at him, her eyes shining like broken diamonds.

Fu Linghe lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, then took her hand and slowly walked down the stairs.

As soon as I arrived in the living room, I saw Mr. Mo standing at the entrance with a rosewood cane, followed by Mo Chenfeng and his wife and Mo Shian. The floor was piled with beautifully wrapped gift boxes.

"Zheng Zheng!" Ning Zhi was the first to see her. She quickly stepped forward and held her hand. "Why do you look a little pale? Is your morning sickness getting worse again?"

Yun Zheng smiled and shook her head, "Mom, I'm fine, I just woke up."

Old Master Mo tapped the ground with his cane and said in a loud voice, "This girl, why are you thinner than a few days ago? Didn't you eat well again?"

Yun Zheng smiled, but before she could explain, Mo Shian came over with a thermos bucket in his hand. "Grandpa had the kitchen stew bird's nest early in the morning and insisted on delivering it personally."

He rubbed the top of Yun Zheng's head, his movements familiar and gentle.

Yun Zheng's eyes were slightly hot. She took the old man's hand and walked towards the sofa. "Grandpa, please sit down. I just have something I want to ask you."

Mo Chenfeng looked at his daughter and his serious expression softened.

He turned to Fu Linghe and took out a document from his briefcase. "Here are the contact information for several obstetricians in Country A. I've already notified them, and they'll be here in a couple of days."

Fu Linghe took it solemnly and said, "Thank you, Dad."

Ning Zhi took out a velvet box from her bag. Inside was a pair of small golden longevity locks. "I specially went to the temple to have them blessed. When the baby is born..."

Before she could finish her words, her voice suddenly choked.

Mo Chenfeng gently put his arm around his wife's shoulders, his usually calm voice becoming a little unsteady. "We're going back to Country A tomorrow, and the company..."

Yun Zheng's hand, which was pouring tea for the old man, trembled and the tea splashed onto the coffee table.

Fu Linghe immediately took the teapot and gently soothed her with his warm palm on her lower back.

"So fast?" Yun Zheng's voice tightened, and her fingertips unconsciously twisted the folds on her skirt.

Old Master Mo sighed, his wrinkled hand covering the back of her hand, "There are some things that need to be taken care of at the old house. But don't worry, Grandpa will definitely come over before your twins are born."

"Zheng Zheng, I'm sorry, I still have some work to do at the company. I have no choice but to stay here with you."

Mo Shian has complicated feelings towards his sister who he has finally found. He feels reluctant to let her go, but more of a sense of guilt.

Yun Zheng suddenly hugged her brother, and the bells rang crisply.

"Silly brother," she buried her face in Mo Shi'an's shoulder, her voice muffled, "I'm not a child anymore."

Ning Zhi suddenly stood up and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window. Mo Chenfeng followed her and whispered comforting words.

The old man stood up with his cane and winked at Fu Linghe, "Accompany me to walk in the garden."

In a blink of an eye, only Yun Zheng and his sister were left in the living room.

In fact, Mo Shian and Yun Zheng spent the shortest time together this time, and they also wanted to leave some space for the brother and sister to be alone.

In the garden, Mr. Mo stopped in front of a bunch of white roses, then suddenly turned and looked directly at Fu Linghe. "Zheng Zheng, she didn't grow up with us, and she doesn't have deep feelings for us, but she cares about you the most. You must not let her down, or I'll risk my life..."

"Grandpa," Fu Linghe rarely interrupted his elders, his eyes as firm as a rock, "I will protect her with my life."

The old man looked at him deeply, and suddenly took out a rosewood box from the inner pocket of his Tang suit. "This was left by Zheng Zheng's grandmother. I'm giving it to you for safekeeping."

Fu Linghe took it solemnly. The wooden box was heavy, as if carrying the expectations of several generations.

When they returned to the living room, Ning Zhi was teaching Yun Zheng to identify various nutritional supplements, and Mo Chenfeng was standing by and giving her supplements from time to time.

Seeing the old man coming back, Ning Zhi suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Zhengzheng, Mom brought Aunt Zhang here."

A round-faced woman came out of the kitchen, holding freshly baked almond cookies.

Yun Zheng opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Aunt Zhang!"

"This is the young lady's favorite snack. Madam specifically asked me to write down the recipe." Aunt Zhang placed the snack on the coffee table with a smile, her eyes red. "This time, I will go back to Country A with the master and the mistress, and come back before the young lady gives birth."

Fu Linghe noticed Yun Zheng's eyes dimmed for a moment, and held her hand calmly.

He turned to the crowd and said, "Don't worry, Mom and Dad. I've hired three nutritionists to take turns on duty, and Dr. Qin will come to check every week."

Mo Chenfeng nodded and suddenly said to Yun Zheng, "Dad will attend the board meeting next month via video link."

This meant that even though he was across the ocean, he had to confirm his daughter's condition with his own eyes.

As dusk fell, the butler came to ask about the dinner arrangements.

The old man waved his hand and said, "I don't want to eat anymore. I have to go back and pack my luggage." But he didn't move, his eyes lingering on Yun Zheng's face.

Ning Zhi suddenly hugged Yun Zheng, her well-maintained hands trembling slightly. "We need to video chat every day, send the pregnancy test report as soon as possible, and if you feel uncomfortable, immediately..."

"Mom," Yun Zheng gently hugged back, smelling the familiar jasmine scent on her mother, "I will take good care of myself."

At the farewell ceremony, Mo Shi'an was the last to arrive. Like a magician, he pulled a velvet box from his suit pocket. "Birthday present." Inside were a pair of delicate star-shaped earrings, which complemented the bell on Yun Zheng's wrist beautifully.

"Send it three months in advance?" Yun Zheng tilted her head to look at him.

Mo Shian smiled and flicked her forehead. "I might be in the Middle East discussing a project by then."

He turned and walked towards the car door, his back as straight as a pine tree, but when he turned the corner he looked back deeply.

Fu Linghe held Yun Zheng in his arms and stood in front of the door until the taillights disappeared at the end of the tree-lined avenue. The night breeze rustled Yun Zheng's hair, bringing with it the coolness of early autumn.

"Are you cold?" Fu Linghe pulled her into his arms.

Yun Zheng shook her head and suddenly felt a chill on her neck.

Looking down, she saw Fu Linghe putting a diamond necklace on her. The pendant was in the shape of a crane holding a zither, sparkling in the moonlight.

"This is……"

"I got it back this morning." Fu Linghe whispered in her ear, "Crane and zither, never to be separated."

On the terrace of the master bedroom, Yun Zheng looked at the twinkling lights of the villa area in the distance.

Fu Linghe hugged her from behind, his palms gently covering her lower abdomen, "What are you thinking about?"

Yun Zheng leaned back against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat. "Suddenly, I feel how wonderful it is to be loved by so many people."

Fu Linghe bent down and kissed the top of her head, "Because my Zheng Zheng deserves to be loved by everyone."
