Chu Yuening put the jade beads and other valuable items into the cloth bag one by one, intending to keep them well.

After all, this was a precious gift from her, and she probably spent all her private money on it.

After a few days, she asked the palace maids to secretly hide some treasures around Zizi to replenish his wallet.

After the family of three played for a while, it was already bright outside the window. Ying Zheng picked up the kid and put him on the ground, his voice low and majestic.

"Zhao Zhao, put on your clothes."

"Okay, Father."

Ying Zhao nodded his little head and replied obediently, then carefully tidied up his messy clothes with his little hands.

Chu Yuening smiled with relief at the independent look of the baby. Although she and A Zheng were never stingy with their love for the child, they would never spoil him.

Children are actually very smart. Excessive indulgence and pampering will only make them more dependent on adults, and thus lack independent opinions and thoughts.

Seeing that the little guy was dressed neatly, Ying Zheng was not idle either. He picked up the coat and put it on his wife who was having difficulty during pregnancy. He was very patient.

"Yuening, reach out."

"The other hand."

Chu Yuening lowered her head and looked at the man's serious profile, her bright eyes filled with tender affection, and her heart seemed to be wrapped in honey.

Even if it is a trivial matter, A Zheng never asks others to do it for her, and always does it herself when it concerns her.

In his words, his wife had worked extremely hard to bear him a child. If he shirked even the smallest task, how could he be a husband and a father?

In modern times, she once saw a video in which a wife who was suffering from pregnancy wanted her husband to pour her a glass of water, but was met with cold eyes and ridicule.

Perhaps from the perspective of men, such a small matter is not worth mentioning, but from the perspective of women, it is too disheartening.

Even a stranger wouldn't refuse a small favor like pouring a glass of water, let alone a husband who has been with you through thick and thin.

Chu Yuening once thought that if she had not met A Zheng, she would rather live alone for the rest of her life than settle for anything less.

At this moment, she once again silently thanked fate for its favor.

Ying Zheng looked at his dazed little wife and felt that she was particularly cute and adorable. He tucked her messy black hair behind her head and then reminded her in a gentle voice.

"Okay, Yue Ning, go wash up."

"Mm-hmm, thank you for your hard work, my dear~"

Chu Yuening hugged the man's thin waist, rubbed her little face against his collar, and her sweet voice sounded more like a coquettish tone than a thank you.

Half an hour later, after the family of three finished their breakfast, those who should go to class went to class, and those who should go to work went to work.

As for Chu Yuening, she was curled up on the sofa basking in the sun, looking forward to what birthday present she would receive this year.

At noon, Chu Heng and Chu Xi rushed to the palace to celebrate their elder sister's birthday. After a few years, the two siblings seemed to have been reborn.

Needless to say, after becoming the factory director, Chu Xi acted decisively and made drastic changes, running the factory successfully. Everyone in the southern suburbs knew the name of Director Chu.

The pair of almond-shaped eyes on that pretty face sparkled, and the sharpness between her eyebrows made people dare not underestimate her.

In the past few years, Chu Heng has traveled all over the country to develop the bread market. He has walked through smooth roads and dangerous paths, suffered losses, but also gained a lot.

The originally handsome and fair-skinned boy now has bronze skin, is half a head taller, has obvious muscles on his arms, and his face has become more stable and shrewd.

"Sister, happy birthday~"

"Happy birthday, sis!"

"You guys are here? Come and sit down, come and sit down."

Chu Yuening waved happily at the brother and sister, her bright eyes lighting up with surprise. She looked up and down at the changes in the two of them, and a look of relief appeared on her face.

Seeing his aunt and uncle whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Ying Zhao happily ran over, hugged them, and acted coquettishly in a baby voice.

"Aunt! Uncle!"

"Do you miss Zhao Zhao?"

"Hahaha, of course I did. My uncle even dreams clearly!"

Chu Heng smiled brightly, picked up the soft little ball, and lifted him up high from time to time, making the little guy cheer excitedly.

Warm sunlight shone through the glass windows. Several people watched this happy and heartwarming scene quietly, and smiles unconsciously appeared on the corners of their mouths.

The happiest thing in the world is to have the whole family reunited and gathered together.

After the family happily finished their lunch and shared the cake, it was time for the gift-giving session that Chu Yuening had been looking forward to.

"Sister, this is the dress I made for you. I hope you will always look beautiful."

Chu Xi gave her blessings with sincere eyes, then opened the wooden box in her hand and showed the dress inside.

This is a bright red dress made of satin, covered with a layer of light pink tulle. The collar and cuffs are embroidered with golden cloud patterns, and the hem is embroidered with a golden phoenix with its wings spread out, which is bright and generous without losing its elegance and luxury.

Chu Yuening stared at the luxurious red dress in amazement, her beautiful eyes filled with uncontrollable love. She gently stroked the finely stitched embroidery and spoke softly.

"Thank you, Xier. I like this dress very much."

"Yeah, as long as Sister likes it~"

"Sister, here's my gift. Come and see if you like it."

Seeing that A Mei took the lead, Chu Heng was unwilling to fall behind. He hurriedly took out the carefully prepared gift and handed it to A Mei with anticipation.

The boy's composure suddenly disappeared, and he was filled with childishness. Chu Yuening nodded with a smile and took the gift.

She had not expected the gift to be so heavy, and she almost dropped it in her grasp. Fortunately, Ying Zheng, who was standing next to her, helped her hold it in time, and brought it to the table to open it.

As soon as it was opened, the unique bright light of jade bloomed out, and a piece of Kunlun jade as big as an adult man's fist lay on the silk.

Kunlun jade, also known as Hetian jade, has a delicate and lustrous texture and is priceless.

The piece of pure white jade in front of you is flawless and has a bright luster. It can be said to be the top-grade white jade among Hetian jades - mutton-fat jade.

"Sister, as the saying goes, jade nourishes people. You can ask the craftsman to carve this jade into an ornament or jewelry, whatever you like."

"Okay, thank you, Heng'er. I guess it cost you a lot to buy it, right?"

"Hehe, it's not much. As long as Sister likes it, it's worth it."

Chu Heng scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled innocently, saying that the kindness shown by his elder sister to him and his younger sister could not be compared with the mere Kunlun jade.

Looking at the sincere brother and sister, Chu Yuening curved her dark eyebrows, and her little face looked even more peaceful under the reflection of the mutton-fat jade, as beautiful as an eternal painting.

After asking the palace maid to properly put away the gifts, Chu Yue turned her gaze to the silent man, with a glimmer of hope in her starry eyes.

Ying Zheng naturally felt the burning gaze, and with a faint smile in his phoenix eyes, he returned a soothing look.

Chu Yuening had no choice but to suppress the itch in her heart. After the brother and sister left the palace, she waited from day to night, and finally received Ying Zheng's gift.

However, she did not rush to open it. Instead, she met the man's gentle eyes, tilted her head, blinked her long eyelashes, and asked in confusion.

"A Zheng, why do you always give me gifts at night?"

"because......"

"This is a time that belongs only to the two of us."
