Chapter 240: Family Love is Good Too

Xiao Beisheng and Luo Yan's marriage progressed rapidly.

All walks of life and media news were reporting the news that the Xiao family's heir was about to hold a grand wedding banquet.

Xiao Beisheng's first marriage was low-key and not ostentatious, which formed a sharp contrast with this marriage.

It is said that Xiao Beisheng spent tens of millions on this wedding.

Compared to this, the treatment Suman, the first wife, received was obviously not as good as Luo Yan's.

The onlookers all said that Xiao Beisheng divorced Su Man for Luo Yan. This is a love story of a wealthy president and his first love, Bai Yueguang, rekindling their past relationship.

And Suman became a stepping stone, a passerby, and a ridiculous cannon fodder in their love.

While the news was spreading outside, Su Man was living a peaceful life.

After she no longer had to go to work, she stayed at home every day, reading some parenting books, making some fetal nourishment dishes for herself, and began to research various baby products.

Regarding her marriage with Qiao Shiyan, Su Man believed that the two of them were just going to get a marriage certificate as a formality, and there would be no other fancy things.

Therefore, Su Man did not spend too much energy on arranging her "marriage" with Qiao Shiyan.

However, Qiao Shiyan was very busy.

A week before the marriage certificate was due, Qiao Shiyan suddenly asked Su Man out: "I'm going downstairs at your house. I'll take you somewhere later."

"Where are you going?"

"A wedding gift for you."

"Gift...? You mean, something for the wedding? Didn't we already pick out the rings?" At Su Man's strong request, they decided to split the bill for their wedding rings.

"You'll know when you get there," Qiao Shiyan said mysteriously, "By the way, it's a bit windy today, you should wear a thicker coat to avoid catching a cold."

Su Man hung up the phone and picked out a cashmere coat from the closet and put it on.

Qiao Shiyan has great potential to be a good husband, and he is also a gentle, considerate and meticulous husband.

Su Man thought that if Qiao Shiyan really planned to be single for the rest of his life, it would not be bad for them to just get along and become a pair of life partners.

When I went downstairs, I saw Qiao Shiyan's car parked in front of the hotel building.

Seeing Su Man, Qiao Shiyan got out of the car, walked around the passenger seat, and opened the door for Su Man. "Have you eaten?"

"I ate a little bit. I've been getting hungry lately."

"You should eat more. Other pregnant women will gain weight, but you've lost weight." Qiao Shiyan got in the car and started it. "It will be over soon. It's almost dinner time. There's a very popular private restaurant near where we're going. Let's try it tonight."

"Okay." Su Man accepted it happily.

Qiao Shiyan and Su Man were not at all shy about talking about their child.

Instead, he was very concerned about Suman's diet and physical condition, as if Suman was pregnant with his child.

Suddenly, Qiao Shiyan, who was driving, laughed.

Su Man was surprised: "What are you laughing at?"

"Sometimes, I feel like we're like an old married couple who've been together for years." Qiao Shiyan half-joked as he drove, "Honestly, haven't you ever thought about it? We're both gentle people. We probably wouldn't have any arguments together. Our lives should be ordinary. We go to get off work and come home, pick up and drop off the kids, and on weekends, we take the kids camping in the riverside park. If the kids like, we can even get them a kitten or a puppy."

As Su Man listened to Qiao Shiyan's description, this scene appeared in front of her eyes.

Lively and warm.

She nodded. "That sounds great. But there's just one problem."

"Hmm?" Qiao Shiyan really became serious.

"We both have very calm personalities. Over time, our relationship tends to become dull and passionless."

Speaking of the word "passion", Qiao Shiyan coughed violently: "Cough——!"

Su Man was frightened and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

Qiao Shiyan waved his hand and pointed to the water bottle at hand. Su Man immediately picked up the bottle, unscrewed it, and handed it to him.

Qiao Shiyan took a big sip, finishing most of the bottle of water. He let out a long sigh, "Look, don't we work well together? In life, the most important thing is tacit understanding. No matter how love is, in the end, it will become family affection. Passion is just dopamine and endorphins at work."

"Really..." Su Man muttered.

Qiao Shiyan stole a glance at Su Man and said, "There's nothing wrong with family love."

The car drove for more than forty minutes and arrived at a clean and quiet neighborhood.

This is a villa area, and all of them are antique buildings.

Green tiles, white walls, and a deep courtyard.

Qiao Shiyan's car was stopped when it was passing a bluestone street.

A man in uniform and white gloves said to Qiao Shiyan, "Hello, sir. Due to special reasons, this road is temporarily closed. No outsiders are allowed to pass."

"Outsiders?" Qiao Shiyan frowned and pointed ahead with his chin. "What's going on ahead? The road here wasn't closed before."

"A customer has booked the Lu family mansion, so this road is closed." When the man mentioned the Lu family mansion, his face was full of pride, and there was also a bit of arrogance that looked down on others.

Qiao Shiyan asked, "If the passage is blocked, what will happen to the residents inside?"

"When the road was closed, it was said that the house inside was vacant and there were no other residents. If you want to get there, you can think of another way to get in."

"There's only one passageway in this residential area. Where else can we get around?"

"I don't know about that."

The man doesn't know the answer to any question, and his attitude is, "Your business is none of my business, and I won't be responsible for you."

"How long will the ban last?" Qiao Shiyan asked.

"They're rehearsing the wedding inside. We can't say when the rehearsal will end, but it will take at least two hours to get up there."

Two hours, no need to eat dinner.

Besides, generally speaking, it takes two hours, but it is definitely possible that it is more than that.

Qiao Shiyan said to Su Man, "I'm sorry, I wasn't thoughtful enough. I brought you here in a rush of excitement and didn't anticipate any unexpected situations. I'll go find the person in charge and ask about the situation. Can you wait with your health?"

Su Man nodded, "It's okay with me."

Qiao Shiyan got out of the car and went to find the person in charge.

After Su Man became pregnant, she never liked staying in a confined space, so she got out of the car, breathed some fresh air, and stretched her legs.

The man in uniform had been guarding the entrance. Su Man was bored, so she walked over and tried to get close to him:

"Hey bro, can I ask why the wedding banquet is being held here? Is this a scenic spot?"

Su Man is beautiful. The man took one look at Su Man and was first amazed by her appearance. Then he shyly avoided her gaze and did not dare to look at Su Man. "It's a scenic spot and a private residential area. The owner wants to rent the venue for activities, which is also possible."

His attitude had completely changed 180 degrees compared to when he stopped someone just now.

"The ones who rented the venue for their wedding this time are President Xiao and his new wife."
