A brief note on this novel: It will be V-listed on September 15th, starting from chapter 16! Friends who ha...
Chapter 77 77. Promotion [Mom and Dad, Shi Jingzhou and I are promoted...
He flipped through the papers quickly in his hands. There were only two pages in total, but Shi Jingzhou read them twice.
"Are you pregnant too?" he asked.
Mi Yanyan felt that he looked very stupid when she saw him press his teeth against his lower lip after he finished speaking, with an expression that looked like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare.
"Being pregnant with anything sounds weird."
Yu Wan clicked her tongue twice, "Shi Jingzhou, stop taking advantage of me."
He waved his hand. "My choice of words was inappropriate. I apologize."
The three of them stood at the hospital entrance, looking at each other. He really wanted to hug Mi Yanyan, but then he remembered that Yu Wan was alone and was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable. He raised his arms several times, but in the end he didn't have the courage to hug her.
Finally, he patted Mi Yanyan's shoulder lightly.
The tension caused the movements to be stiff, making him look like an old leader inspecting the work and placing great expectations on the younger generation.
It was Mi Yanyan who broke the awkward silence, "Take us home first."
After getting in the car, Shi Jingzhou sat down, but the car didn't start for a long time.
Mi Yanyan looked at him for a second, then saw him get out of the car again, walk around the front of the car, and open her passenger door.
"You go sit in the back too."
"Not really. People drive normally even when they're pregnant."
Shi Jingzhou leaned over to look at her and said, "Be obedient."
Yu Wan smiled and patted the cushion next to her. "Come here quickly! I'm afraid he's going to hug you soon. Don't provoke me."
Mi Yanyan then turned around and leaned against Yu Wan obediently.
Shi Jingzhou returned to the car, made sure the two passengers in the back were fastened their seat belts, and drove home.
Yu Wan muttered quietly, "I just had the illusion of being checked by the staff before riding the roller coaster at the amusement park."
Mi Yanyan followed the joy and took the time to glance at the rearview mirror. She saw Shi Jingzhou's expression was very serious and his eyes were red.
She knew he was nervous.
His speed, at which he was almost overtaken by an electric car, betrayed him.
This news is an information overload for both parties. They need to sit down, talk, and calmly digest it before making a decision.
The gate of the residential complex appeared in front of them, the lifting bar was raised, and when they reached the door of the unit, Mi Yanyan and Yu Wan got out of the car safely one after another.
Shi Jingzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and the steering wheel was left wet where he held it.
He was very scared.
If Yu Wan hadn't asked Mi Yanyan to go to the hospital at the last minute, she wouldn't have noticed anything abnormal with her, and they even slept in the same room together last night.
I also felt really bad for not being able to control myself and forgot about the doctor's advice.
just in case.
If anything were to happen, he might not forgive himself.
There were two friendly knocks on the window, and Mi Yanyan bent over and smiled at him.
"Don't you dare come down?" she asked.
Shi Jingzhou opened the door slightly and got out of the car. "Where's Yu Wan?"
"She went upstairs first."
Yu Wan knew that the couple must have something to say, so she took the initiative to ask to go up first.
Shi Jingzhou hugged her without hesitation.
A familiar breath flowed around his neck, and Mi Yanyan also put her arms around his waist, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"I'm sorry." Shi Jingzhou said.
"What are you sorry for?"
The tip of his nose rubbed against Mi Yanyan's skin, which was very itchy.
"I was impulsive and caused you trouble."
"Not really. I feel good too. I can't blame you entirely."
Shi Jingzhou laughed out loud.
Mi Yanyan just let him out of his arms, and her eyes became even redder.
The person who was discovered felt a little embarrassed, turned his head away, took two deep breaths, and then turned back.
"Would you... not want it?"
Mi Yanyan pouted, "What do you think?"
"I'll listen to you." A tear fell from the corner of her eye.
Shi Jingzhou actually cried.
He looks so aggrieved.
"Oh, how can I think about it carefully if you say that?" Mi Yanyan folded her arms and looked at him. This was definitely not the Shi Jingzhou she knew. He was just a kid who asked his parents for candy.
He sniffed and hugged the person again.
He spoke slowly after calming his tone.
"I haven't experienced this before. I just feel very touched and sorry. But I respect your decision. If you think it's not the right time, then we can contact the hospital; but..."
He whispered in Mi Yanyan's ear, "If possible, and on the premise that you can happily accept it, I promise that I will learn to be a good husband and work hard to be a good father."
When the result lay before him, Shi Jingzhou realized that he really wanted to see how this mini Mee Mee would grow up. For him, this was the next stage of love, a natural desire.
But he could only suggest.
Not selectable.
Giving birth is a process that he cannot replace. He loves the person in his arms and respects her ideas even more.
He said no more, not wanting to restrict or guide her with too many vague things.
He used to be determined to get everything. If he couldn't get it, he would snatch it away. If he wanted something, he would do whatever it took.
Including Mi Yanyan.
It was not until now that he understood that many precious relationships are about give and take, advances and retreats.
Mi Yanyan put her hand on his back, rubbing her fingertips back and forth on his coat.
Each blow touched his anxious heart.
"Tell me, is this little thing a brother or a sister?"
A cloud fell from the sky, and Shi Jingzhou realized for the first time that clouds also have colors.
His heart had never been so soft.
"She should be a girl." Shi Jingzhou replied.
Mi Yanyan looked serious, "Why?"
"Because you raised Peanut first, and she is a girl."
Shi Jingzhou had a hunch that Mi Yanyan would like a daughter, and he didn't mind having another daughter in the family.
"What if it's a son? He'll be jumping up and down like popcorn." Mi Yanyan started to have a headache just thinking about it.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Just keep it as it is."
Mi Yanyan nodded and said, "I want a daughter."
"But I can't bear to let you have another life."
She slapped Shi Jingzhou's hand away and said, "Go to the hospital first. I seriously doubt whether your surgery was done properly!"
"I really did it. Didn't you see the knife edge?"
Mi Yanyan thought so too, and punched him twice in anger.
Shi Jingzhou came closer and tried to hit her.
At this point, both of them were still confused. They still had so much to sort out, like how to coordinate work changes, whether to notify the elders on both sides, and...
What should I do with the lonely little Yu Wan upstairs?
Mi Yanyan heard the phone in Shi Jingzhou's pocket ring twice, but he pretended not to hear it.
"You answer the phone," she said.
"Unimportant people."
"Shi Jingzhou! Did you tell Qin Muchuan?!"
"Really? I'll just ask him not to leave for now." He took out his cell phone and pressed the speaker.
Qin Muchuan on the opposite side had just been kicked out of the store, and the sound of cats and dogs barking was extremely noisy in the receiver.
"Are you crazy? This address is the Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market!"
“It’s pretty fast.”
"Are you kidding me?"
Shi Jingzhou raised his voice, "Why are you in such a hurry to go back to Gangcheng?"
"Get the ring. The ring I ordered has arrived."
"Who are you planning to give it to?"
Qin Muchuan laughed in anger, "Here you are. I'm going to propose to you. If you marry me, we'll be remarried and we won't have any more marriages."
Mi Yanyan laughed out loud and said softly to Shi Jingzhou, "Let him come. Both of you stay home and wait downstairs."
Shi Jingzhou saw Mi Yanyan enter the lobby and spoke very quickly, "Hurry up and find a mall, buy the engagement ring, and come to my house according to the address in half an hour."
Qin Muchuan: "You're really fucking sick, and I'm really proposing to you?"
"My wife is pregnant," he said.
"......" Qin Muchuan was stunned, "Congratulations, but what does this have to do with me?"
After a moment he responded, "Oh, you want to propose, right?"
Shi Jingzhou gritted his teeth, "...Yes, bring it quickly."
"What size?"
“Same as Yu Wan.”
Qin Muchuan smiled and said, "Hey, what a coincidence. Wait for me then, and remember to transfer the money."
"It's a coincidence. God just gave you a pig's brain."
After Shi Jingzhou transferred the money, he really wanted to smash his phone. He proposed to me with the ring, so why should he pay for it?
Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll just contribute.
The fingerprint passed, Mi Yanyan opened the door, and saw Yu Wan sleeping on the sofa.
She tiptoed over, picked up the blanket, and was about to cover herself with it when she noticed Yu Wan's phone was on, with a payment record showing that he had bought a bunch of health supplements.
It seems that I am not the only one who can't bear it.
She simply washed up, lifted her clothes in front of the mirror, and her stomach was still flat, with two obvious waist lines.
There is absolutely no sign of pregnancy.
Yes, the baby in my belly is just a tiny one.
Mi Yanyan suddenly laughed.
She opened the photo album on her phone and found many childhood photos in the cloud drive, most of which were copied from her grandparents' albums.
Seeing the photo of her grandfather holding her while sitting on a recliner, Mi Yanyan felt sad. If it had been earlier, he might have been able to hold the baby in his arms.
And grandma would always hold me in her arms while I slept, and gently pat my back with her very soft hands.
Just as I was thinking about it, a new message appeared in the group.
Ye Qionghua forwarded the news link, reminding them that there would be a yellow warning for heavy rain in Suzhou the next day and the day after tomorrow, and asked Shi Jingzhou to pick up Mi Yanyan to go to and from get off work.
Shi Jingzhou quickly replied: [Received.]
She trotted to the window and looked down. He was leaning against the side of the car, raised his head in tacit understanding, and waved at her.
She asked: [Should I tell my parents?]
He replied: [You decide.]
She said: "I'm a little worried."
The early stages of pregnancy are the most precarious. Although the probability is very low, she is still a little anxious.
Shi Jingzhou called and said, "I'm here. If you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it."
"But I couldn't help but want to tell Mom and Aunt Chen."
Ye Qionghua was so good to her, it was as if God had given her family love.
Whether it is work or life, we give you 100% freedom, but we also care about everything, big or small.
Aunt Chen is the same. She sends her a lot of short videos every day, for fear that she will miss peanuts and popcorn in Suzhou.
"Then tell the group?" Shi Jingzhou suggested cautiously.
"Well, what do you say?"
"Come on."
Mi Yanyan thought for a few seconds and sent a message.
[Mom and Dad, Shi Jingzhou and I advanced! ]
The group was completely silent.
After a while, Shi Ting@Shi Jingzhou asked: [New project of Ruisi?]
Ye Qionghua: [Are you two involved in a project together? That's great. What's your research direction?]
Shi Ting said seriously: [It's probably animal medicine.]
Mi Yanyan and Shi Jingzhou were upstairs and downstairs respectively, laughing so hard that they almost got a stitch in the side.
Soon, Shi Jingzhou added in the group: [Yes, a new project, a lifelong project on how to be a good new parent.]
