Chapter 37 Chapter 37 Pay attention to prenatal education

"Is it really true that I don't need to bring a gift?" She confirmed again. Last night, Zhao Qingshi suddenly told her that they were going to his parents' house for dinner today. It was her first time meeting his parents-in-law at home, so she was a little nervous.

"That's what they're preparing for you," Zhao Qingshi said. "As their daughter-in-law, you're supposed to be there to receive the red envelopes today. Don't be nervous."

Just like that, the two of them came empty-handed. There was another person present today, Zhao Yaozi. Although she didn't live here, she would attend every family gathering.

Zhao Yaozi prepared a pearl necklace for her as a New Year's gift: "I don't have anything special to offer, so please don't despise me."

Ruan Xiangyi quickly accepted it: "Thank you, sister, I like it very much."

Although Zhou Xunyin didn't like her, she still gave her a valuable imperial green bracelet and two boxes of cat snacks, enough for Cake to splurge on for two months.

Zhao Wen's gift was even more direct. He gave her 5% of the group's shares. Even Zhao Yaozi only got 5%. Ruan Xiangyi didn't dare to accept it. Zhao Qingshi held her hand when signing.

Zhao Yaozi's smile on the side became a little fainter.

Ruan Xiangyi finally understood what it meant to be wealthy and powerful.

At the table, Zhao Wen mentioned her and Zhao Qingshi, and she was confused.

Zhao Wen said, "From what he said, you two have been together for a long time?"

Ruan Xiangyi looked at Zhao Qingshi confusedly: "?"

Which one together?

Zhao Qingshi noticed her question mark and calmly picked up a piece of pork ribs for her: "Yeah."

Ruan Xiangyi: “?”

How can sleeping together not count as being together? He continued to make up a story: "If it weren't for your grandson's help, you almost broke up a pair of lovers."

Ruan Xiangyi almost spit out what was he talking about?

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhao Wen's face.

Zhou Xunyin interrupted calmly, "It's all in the past. Let's not talk about the past."

Zhao Wen immediately agreed: "Your mother is right, let's not talk about it, it's good that you are together now, live a good life in the future, your mother and I will never interfere."

Xun Yin frowned, "In a few days, your Uncle Li is holding a jewelry auction. He gave your dad an invitation. We won't go. You can bring Xiangyi along to show your face. If you run into Wen Yin, be sincere and apologize to her."

Zhao Qingshi agreed: "Okay."

On the way back, Zhao Qingshi was driving and saw Ruan Xiangyi hesitated to speak, so he asked, "What do you want to say?"

Ruan Xiangyi: "Why did you tell them that we were in love at the time."

"So what do you mean? We were just one-night stands and sex partners?" The answer was blunt but the truth was there.

"That was an accident." Ruan Xiangyi corrected, "You also said before that we are not that kind of relationship."

"Oh." Does it make any difference to outsiders?

"It's not good for you to do this."

"What's wrong?"

"prenatal education."

“He doesn’t understand now.”

"The doctor said the baby can hear adults talking in the belly."

“So magical?”

"Um."

Seeing her serious look, Zhao Qingshi chuckled: "Okay, I'll pay attention."

The day before leaving for Hong Kong, Ruan Xiangyi finally got her pass. On the day she landed in Hong Kong, she was still wearing a sweater. The temperature in Hong Kong was not as cold as in Yitong, and she could really feel the temperature difference between the two regions. The floor-to-ceiling windows of the Victoria Harbour Suite reflected the vast sea view, and the entire harbor was in full view. By 1 pm the next day, quite a few people were already standing in the square of Victoria Harbour.

On New Year's Eve, Shen Tingwan took Ruan Xiangyi and Xu Jingzhi to get rid of the three stinky men, saying that they wanted to have a trip to the Hong Kong area. Before leaving, Zhao Qingshi told Shen Tingwan to return them before five o'clock, and he had booked a restaurant.

They had another itinerary, which was to accompany Chen Tingwan to try on wedding dresses. After returning to Yitong, she would propose to Gu Suyan. It was the first time for her to help a friend prepare a surprise, and Ruan Xiangyi was very excited.

Xu Jingzhi is Qiu Boyu's ambiguous object. Although she is not very familiar with them, she is very happy.

Shen Tingwan tried on seven or eight wedding dresses, and each one looked very beautiful on her. Ruan Xiangyi and Xu Jingzhi were so amazed by them. Shen Tingwan always asked them:

: "Which one do you think looks best?"

The two couldn't decide because they thought every piece was very beautiful.

"Every piece really suits you very well." Ruan Xiangyi said sincerely.

Xu Jingzhi nodded continuously: "Yes!"

"You two really are just good at teasing me."

“Really, they are all very beautiful.”

"Mmm, it's really beautiful."

Shen Tingwan was so overwhelmed by the two of them that she had a difficult time making a choice. The wedding dresses in the window were dazzling. She looked at the two of them and had an idea: "Do you two want to try them on together?"

Without waiting for their answer, Shen Tingwan had already gone to pick out wedding dresses. Both of them were very quiet. She took out a satin half-shoulder wedding dress and gave it to Xu Jingzhi: "Go quickly."

Xu Jingzhi hesitated for a long time before going in to change.

Shen Tingwan continued to choose one more piece. She picked out a tube-top style for Ruan Xiangyi. Ruan Xiangyi felt that it was a bit revealing as she had never worn a shoulder-baring style before.

"It's not leaking!" Shen Tingwan felt the need to correct her thoughts, "Your shoulders are beautiful and your skin is white, so you should wear it like this, go!"

"Okay." She never had any opinions on what to wear.

It must be said that Shen Tingwan has a good eye. Every girl has a dream of wearing a wedding dress. When Xu Jingzhi stood in front of the mirror, she couldn't help but lose her mind.

Ruan Xiangyi stood in front of the mirror, clutching her chest. Her white gauze skirt fell to the ground, gleaming brightly under the light. Shen Tingwan took her hand away and praised, "It's really beautiful. If Zhao Qingshi were here, I guarantee he wouldn't be able to take his eyes off her."

At this time, the clerk came over with a veil and said that it was very suitable for her wedding dress and asked if she needed help to put it on. Of course, Shen Tingwan said yes.

Wearing the veil, Ruan Xiangyi looked more like a bride, incredibly beautiful. Chen Tingwan silently took a few photos of her.

Around five o'clock, when Shen Tingwan handed Ruan Xiangyi to Zhao Qing on time, he pretended to be mysterious and said to him, "I have a surprise here, do you want to know?"

"You asked the wrong person." He refused mercilessly.

“…”

Chen Tingwan didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "You'll regret it." You missed your wife's wedding photos, so go ahead and regret it! I won't give them to you even if you beg me in the future!

Zhao Qingshi made a reservation at a restaurant at six o'clock. Shen Tingwan applauded: "Thank you, boss, for the treat."

"You're welcome, Gu Suyan, please sign the bill." He smiled.

This restaurant focuses on its dishes and atmosphere at night. Outside the window is the night view of Victoria Harbour. It is a restaurant chosen by many couples. After ordering, Shen Tingwan whispered to Gu Suyan: "Do you think anyone will propose here?"

Gu Suyan paused and glanced at Zhao Qingshi: "Probably... not."

"I think so. This place is so romantic."

Gu Suyan lowered his head, afraid of being exposed. The ideas those two people came up with were really unreliable. He said that Wanwan was so smart that she would definitely guess something.

The food in this restaurant was served very quickly. The appetizer was cherry foie gras, which tasted very good. The lingering texture was similar to that she had in a French restaurant abroad. Shen Tingwan was quite satisfied.

Halfway through the meal, the waiter came over with a cart of cakes and suddenly stopped at their table. Shen Tingwan put down his fork and just as he looked up, he saw a bouquet of bright red roses appear in Gu Suyan's hand like a hat trick.

Ruan Xiangyi realized something and covered her lips in surprise. Zhao Qingshi saw this and whispered, "Xiangyi, I'm not proposing to you."

Ruan Xiangyi nodded: "I know."

Zhao Qingshi: “…”

Then why are you so excited?

Of course, he wouldn't understand that what excited her was not the fact that Gu Suyan and Chen Tingwan proposed to each other, but the fact that they were both planning to propose to each other.

Of course, this secret was only known to the three ladies present.

The passersby who were dining there were also very supportive and stood up and applauded: "Promise him, promise him..."

Gu Suyan knelt on one leg on the ground and nervously said the words that had been brewing in his heart for hundreds of times. Shen Tingwan burst into tears when she heard it. Until a shining ring was pushed into Shen Tingwan's ring finger, Gu Suyan stood up and hugged her excitedly: "You are mine!"

Shen Tingwan cried and laughed.

That’s great, Ruan Xiangyi thought.

After the meal, a few of them went to an open-air bar to sit for a while, ordered some drinks and played games together.

Qiu Boyu customizes the rules.

The game is very simple. Pour wine into the glass. Whoever fills the glass to overflow gets to drink.

Zhao Qingshi tutted his words: "Targeting me?"

Ruan Xiangyi couldn't drink alcohol, so he had to drink for her.

Gu Suyan snorted: "Oh, you are still afraid of drinking. So, to make it fair, you can drink and play games, but we will decide the games."

Gu Suyan asked: "Sister-in-law, do you think it's okay?"

Ruan Xiangyi nodded: "I have no objection."

The game officially started, starting with Zhao Qingshi. He poured half of the wine in, then it was Ruan Xiangyi's turn. Zhao Qingshi put one hand on the leather sofa behind her. He wanted to teach her how to do something bad, but he didn't expect her to be so easy to play. He directly filled the wine glass and raised his eyebrows.

When it was Gu Suyan's turn, he looked incredulous: "Sister-in-law, when did you learn bad things from him?"

Zhao Qingshi smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense and drink quickly."

Gu Suyan picked up the wine glass: "Not necessarily, I drink it."

It really was, it didn't overflow. The next person was listening late. Gu Suyan said with a sly smile: "Wife, I'm so sorry."

Shen Tingwan laughed and scolded him.

Shen Tingwan drank the first glass of wine as she wished. Starting from her, she followed the same pattern as before and filled it up directly.

It's time for Xu Jingzhi to drink.

Qiu Boyu raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you say there were mini-games? Let's choose a game."

Gu Suyan scolded, "What do you mean by 'we'? Did she agree to be with you? Sister Jingzhi, you make your own choice. Let me make it clear, our game is very cruel."

Xu Jingzhi asked: "Can I choose the truth?"

It's not impossible, Gu Suyan let her go: "Okay. Who of you wants to ask."

No one answered.

Gu Suyan: "Then let me ask. What is your relationship with Qiu Boyu?"

Xu Jingzhi replied: "Friends."

What a great friendship! Gu Suyan laughed heartily. Qiu Boyu laughed and scolded him.

After going around in circles, it returned to Zhao Qingshi's hands. Qiu Boyu played a trick on him and it was his turn to drink.

Zhao Qingshi drank it without blinking, then topped up his glass. Qiu Boyu joked, "How come you can't tell friend from foe after just one glass of wine?"

You know shit.

Ruan Xiangyi chose the mini-game.

Gu Suyan secretly cursed this man for being such a bastard. Now Qiu Boyu also saw through his tactics. He had calculated that the other person couldn't bear to see him drinking, right?

Qiu Boyu fulfilled his wish: "Choose any person of the opposite sex present and play the paper-tearing game."

That’s Zhao Qingshi.

Shen Tingwan tore the paper into about one centimeter pieces and asked Ruan Xiangyi to bite them. Zhao Qingshi leaned forward contentedly and pressed his lips firmly against hers.

Chen Tingwan suddenly felt sorry for Ruan Xiangyi, who was being entangled by this scheming old man. She hissed that there was clearly some tissue left over, so it wouldn't touch her mouth. This man did it on purpose.

After playing until half past eleven, the group dispersed and went to their own world of two.
