Chapter 234 Another Spring

It's spring again, and Hai City is welcoming a scene of flowers in full bloom.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye. After Xu Xian and Jiang Shibai burned incense and kowtowed to their mother in the cemetery according to the custom of previous years, they stood quietly in front of the tombstone, staring at the two photos on the wall.

Jiang Shibai knew that she wanted to talk to her parents alone for the rest of the time, so he whispered to her not to stand on one foot for too long to avoid her legs going numb. Then, with his suit jacket draped over his muscular arms, he walked out of the aisle with neither light nor heavy steps.

Time has not left too many traces on the man, he is still handsome and gentle, but the difference is that he is more steady and reserved, with gentle eyes. He leans against the car door not far away, quietly looking at Xu Xian, waiting for her.

The sun was warm. Xu Xian glanced at him against the light, smiled, and then his eyes fell on the two smiling photos.

Her tone was relaxed, as if she was chatting with them as usual, updating them on their recent situation. "Mom and Dad, how are you doing over there? I'm doing well. The company has expanded several times over in the past two years, and I've been getting busier and busier, but I feel fulfilled and satisfied."

Under her and Feng Nan's management, the design company has become a medium-sized company. It is also well-known in the industry and cannot be ignored.

"I know you must want to ask about Shi Bai and me. Our relationship is very stable. He treats me as before. Although we quarrel occasionally, they are just minor fights. Don't worry." When she said this, she touched the tip of her nose with obvious guilt.

Even the most loving couple will have times when they get angry and upset. Usually it is because she is the one who starts the trouble, or because they have different concepts and habits and need to adjust.

Sometimes Jiang Shibai was very tired after work and didn’t coax her in time, so the two of them would inevitably have some quarrels.

Most of the time he coaxed her, and if she went too far, she would give in.

Their quarrels were like glue, and they would always solve the problem immediately. Once the problem was solved, the two of them would become even more inseparable and would wish to stay together 24 hours a day.

Their relationship now has a bit more of the tacit understanding of an old couple, but it also has the excitement of a young couple.

The grief of losing a loved one fades away quietly with the passage of time. Even if my heart aches suddenly in the dead of night, all the sadness will be washed away by the sound of Jiang Shibai telling bedtime stories.

She gradually forgot the pain of the past, leaving only the sweetness of the present.

"As for the child issue, I told you last year that we had no plans yet. This year, the time is almost right. After all, he is 32 years old, not young anymore. He and I both want to have a baby."

"Maybe next year, you'll have a grandchild or granddaughter calling you grandpa and grandma. Isn't that exciting?"

Bai Han and Li Nanyan, who got married a year later than them, already had a chubby little girl, but they had made no progress because she devoted most of her energy and time to work.

For this reason, the grandmother of the old house even asked them both indirectly whether anyone had health problems, and the main suspect was naturally Jiang Shibai.

Who made him single for twenty-nine years?

In the end, it was Jiang Shibai who came forward and said frankly that they were not living happily in their world of two and there was no need to rush for a child, which stopped his grandmother from praying to Buddha for a child.

But the elderly grandmother's health has been deteriorating in recent years. She has always been looking forward to seeing Jiang Shibai's next generation, so Xu Xian decided to have a child.

It wasn't entirely because of her grandmother's wish, the bigger reason was that she was ready to become a mother and wanted to have a relative who was related to her by blood.

"Now I have a successful career, a happy family, and a comfortable life. You can rest assured down there..." Xu Xian stood there and muttered a lot.

Finally, the sun rising in the east slowly approached the zenith, and she stopped talking. She got into Jiang Shibai's car, had lunch at a restaurant outside, and returned to work in the afternoon.

It was not yet time to go to work, and a bunch of people in the company were sitting in the tea room chatting and eating snacks.

Xu Xian walked over and picked up the plums on the table, and ate several of them with an expressionless face. Perhaps he felt that it was not enough, so he simply stuffed several of them into his mouth and chewed them together.

In the past two days, she has no resistance to sour snacks, especially during working hours.

The female employees sitting around looked at her suspiciously, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sister Xu Xian, you seem to be craving sour food lately. Most of the dried plums in the tea room have gone into your stomach."

"Is there?" Xu Xian chewed a plum, his mouth moving and his speech unclear.

She really hadn't noticed this, she just thought sour snacks were delicious, and they weren't really sour!

The female employee spoke frankly, "Yes! You used to not eat any sour snacks at all. Don't you love sweets the most? If there's even a little bit of sourness, you'll spit it out."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xian stood there in a daze, completely forgetting to chew the plums. He looked like a little squirrel with a pine cone in its mouth, inexplicably cute.

The other female employees looked at each other, and one of the older ones said, "Your symptoms are similar to when I was pregnant. I couldn't even handle mildly spicy food, but during that time, I couldn't get enough spicy food. Pregnancy has also changed my taste."

"Why don't you go to the hospital for a checkup, just in case?"

The fact that she had been married for more than two years was known to the entire company, so her pregnancy was not surprising.

There must be a reason why a person's taste changes drastically in a short period of time.

Xu Xian's heart tightened, and an indescribable emotion filled her heart. It was not like the panic she felt when she heard about the pregnancy more than two years ago, but more like she was overwhelmed with joy.

There is also a little worry that expectations will not be met.

She didn't feel like going to work, so she drove to the hospital alone. On the way, she didn't want to call Jiang Shibai, fearing that it would be another misunderstanding.

A person underwent a series of examinations in the hospital, and only came to his senses when he heard the doctor say, "Congratulations, you are ten weeks pregnant."

She looked at the pregnancy test report floating lightly in her palm, and an indescribable feeling of tears filled her eyes, as if swirling inside.

She was alone, no, to be exact, two people sat on the bench in the hospital corridor for a full hour. Only when the excitement in her heart slowly dissipated and turned into joy did she slowly stand up.

Compared to the dazed state she was in the hospital, she is now very cautious. She even drives very slowly, always driving at the lowest speed on the road to return to work.

She wanted to tell Jiang Shibai after she got home from get off work and give him a surprise.
