Jiang Jinyao smiled as she thought about marrying An Lude.

She revealed an expression of youthful naiveté and shyness.

Shen Qiaoyue remembered that she had the same expression when she saw Lu Chen's photo before her blind date.

She was full of anticipation as she waited to go on her blind date with Lu Chen.

Looking back on the blind date, the first date was supposed to be at the store, but he stood her up, making Shen Qiaoyue wait for several hours.

When he got home, his uncle said that Lu Chen had gone on a temporary mission and would not be back for two days.

Shen Qiaoyue was a little unhappy because she had waited for three hours, but she still waited for two days, full of expectations for Lu Chen to appear. He was not only dark-skinned and looked fierce, but even his fingernails were full of dirt, which made Shen Qiaoyue instantly disgusted.

He's not clean, comes from a rural area, and never attended a proper school, so he must be uneducated.

After meeting him, Shen Qiaoyue absolutely refused to be with Lu Chen. However, it was time to go to the countryside again, and her uncle said that Lu Chen would definitely make sure she was satisfied this time.

The second blind date was indeed much cleaner and more presentable than the first, but he still stared at Shen Qiaoyue with that fierce expression.

Looking back now, Shen Qiaoyue cursed herself inwardly. From the first moment she saw Lu Chen, she had a blank expression. Lu Chen was a man who didn't like to talk and didn't understand what she was thinking. He just kept his usual expression.

"I really envy you!" Shen Qiaoyue envied Jiang Jinyao. She and An Lude went from meeting to getting to know each other, and they only got married after they realized they liked each other. At least they had a sweet time together.

"What's there to envy about me? I'm the one to be envied! Commander Lu Chen treats you so well!" Jiang Jinyao teased Shen Qiaoyue, who was also envious of her. "Commander Lu's kindness to you is well-known, just like Sister Hua Lan's. Her man is also really good to her, picking her up and dropping her off every day. What do I have to envy? I envy An Lude's family background, which is better than Lu Chen's!"

Jiang Jinyao couldn't figure out how Shen Qiaoyue's family was inferior to hers; the only difference was Lu Chen's family background.

"Commander Lu is so capable, and he even has a younger sister who studies medicine. You should be satisfied!" Jiang Jinyao thought of An Lude and herself, and then compared them. It seemed that there was no difference between them.

Shen Qiaoyue smiled, resting her cheeks on her hands, and said, "I envy you two for having so many beautiful memories before you got married. Years later, when others ask about your past, they will all say it was wonderful! But Lu Chen and I..." She thought for a moment, feeling increasingly bitter and sorry for Lu Chen and her family.

Seeing that Shen Qiaoyue was deep in thought, he stopped halfway through his sentence.

"The happiness that comes after marriage is a beautiful response," Jiang Jinyao said.

Shen Qiaoyue came to her senses, looked up at Jiang Jinyao, and touched her belly, saying, "That's true."

"Wait!" Jiang Jinyao took a small bag out of her pocket and handed it to Shen Qiaoyue, saying, "This is a little sheep that an old lady helped me knit. It's for your two children. See if you like it?"

Shen Qiaoyue was surprised, looked up at Jiang Jinyao, and took the small bag.

This is a small collar, made of red and gold yarn woven into a little sheep, and there are two more.

Very delicate, this choker is cute and exquisite.

"It's so beautiful, thank you Yao Yao." Shen Qiaoyue hadn't expected that Jiang Jinyao's gift would be so perfect.

Jiang Jinyao said smugly, "I said I would be the child's godmother, so of course I can't skimp on this gift."

After looking at the necklace, Shen Qiaoyue was absolutely captivated by it.

"On behalf of my child, I'd like to thank you first, as her godmother!" Shen Qiaoyue said with a smile.

Jiang Jinyao squatted down and slowly walked over Chen Qiaoyue's belly, saying, "Little darlings, I'm your godmother. After you come out, I'll buy you fun toys. If you're a boy, I'll buy you notebooks, and if you're a girl, I'll buy her a doll."

"You're being a bit biased!" Shen Qiaoyue complained to Jiang Jinyao, rubbing her belly helplessly.

"I'm a girl, so I definitely prefer girls."

"Hiss~"

Shen Qiaoyue hadn't had a chance to say what would happen if it was a boy.

Then my belly started moving.

Shen Qiaoyue looked at Jiang Jinyao in surprise.

"He moved! He moved!" This was the first time Shen Qiaoyue had felt such a noticeable movement in her belly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinyao immediately moved closer and reached out to touch her stomach.

She felt a hand give her a high five.

"It moved! It really moved!" Jiang Jinyao was also dumbfounded, looking at Shen Qiaoyue in disbelief, and said with a smile, "Is he a boy? He reacted when I said it was a girl, or did he want to respond to his godmother when I said it was a girl?"

"It's amazing!" Jiang Jinyao said excitedly, touching Shen Qiaoyue's belly with both hands. "The baby will definitely love me as its godmother."

Shen Qiaoyue was both amused and exasperated.

Jiang Jinyao was so excited, as if the child were her own.

“I’m the mother, the child definitely likes me more,” Shen Qiaoyue said in a jealous tone.

Jiang Jinyao said helplessly, "You're the mother, so of course I'll like you more. What I mean is, besides Mom and Dad, the child will definitely like me more, because I've spent the most time with you throughout your entire pregnancy."

“What you said makes sense!” Shen Qiaoyue said.

Shen Qiaoyue was immersed in the joy of her baby's movements all day long. Since becoming pregnant, Shen Qiaoyue has been extremely happy.

After a day's work, I went home, and the results were to be announced on Wednesday.

When Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen returned to the entrance of the family compound, they saw Xia Xiaoli and Xiang Shulan returning from buying groceries.

"Lu Chen, stop the car." At the entrance of the family compound, Shen Qiaoyue asked Lu Chen to let her out.

After Lu Chen stopped the car, Shen Qiaoyue got out of the back seat.

As Xiang Shulan approached, she smiled and said, "Qiaoyue, are you off work?"

"Sister-in-law Qiaoyue." Xia Xiaoli nodded slightly in greeting.

Shen Qiaoyue glanced at Xia Xiaoli and said to Xiang Shulan beside her, "Just got off work, what are you going to cook for dinner tonight?"

"Your family's cooking always smells the best!"

Shen Qiaoyue, who lives across the street, genuinely feels that Zhang Dali and Xiang Shulan's family eat really well.

"We want to have hot pot today." Xiang Shulan bought some vegetables and some beef. "I've been craving this for a long time. The doctor said I can eat it, as long as it's not too spicy."

"Hot pot is indeed a good thing." Shen Qiaoyue's impression of hot pot is that it's a pot of soup that's boiled and then lots of vegetables are put in.

She had once visited Beijing and eaten mutton hot pot, which was very bland.

I've heard that Nanfang Yucheng Hot Pot is famous for its delicious food, offering both sour and spicy, as well as numbing and spicy flavors.

However, she had little experience with food from outside the region and only had a superficial understanding of it.

"Why don't you come over to our house for dinner tonight?" Xiang Shulan warmly invited.

Shen Qiaoyue waved her hand in refusal, saying, "No, I've cooked at home, you can eat by yourselves."
