One Night in Midsummer: Professor Si's Little Secret

Su Nian, a third-year fashion design student, got drunk after a breakup and stumbled into a hotel room, having a one-night stand with a stranger. After sobering up, she fled in a panic, intending t...

Chapter 141 How about calling her Little Cherry?

Chen Ran particularly hopes that her child will choose a school in France - first of all, this has always been her child's dream.

Secondly, a French design studio has recently approached Chen's clothing company. If a partnership is reached, he plans to have his daughter lead the project. Wouldn't that give her early access to international design resources? With practical experience and accumulated experience, she'll have more confidence in studying design in France.

So he fully supported his daughter's choice of ESMOD International Fashion Design School.

He paused, then looked at Su Nian again, his tone serious, "Don't worry about the application, I'll take care of it. Let a professional study abroad application company help you. They have a lot of experience in applying to art schools and can help you prepare your materials more thoroughly and get approved on the first try."

Chen Ran continued, "Nian Nian, just focus on taking care of your health and focusing on adjusting your condition and improving your English. The language barrier is the 'stepping stone' to studying abroad. Consolidate your daily communication and professional terminology first, and you'll be able to adapt faster when you arrive in France!"

Si Yan also agreed, "Yes, Nian Nian, Dad is right. I'll find some English listening materials suitable for pregnant women. You can listen to them for a while every day. It's relaxing and you can learn something. Think of it as 'prenatal English education' for your baby."

Baby - are you really going to let me study English from the womb?

Si Yan held Su Nian's hand, squeezed it gently, then turned to Chen Ran and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Dad. I will prepare any materials you need in time. I will also accompany Nian Nian with English, helping her review at a fixed time every day to ensure she doesn't get too tired. I hope she can meet the English standards before going abroad."

"Well, you've worked hard too!" This son-in-law seems worthy of recognition for the time being.

After dinner, Su Hong pulled Su Nian to sit on the sofa and kept nagging her, saying, "Output basically depends on maternal love." The content covered food, clothing, housing, transportation and "how pregnant women can dress elegantly."

"Oh, by the way, Aunt Fen made you two loose cashmere dresses. If it gets colder, you can wear a coat or down jacket over them. They're light and warm, and they won't make you look fat. I'll get them for you."

Su Hong came out carrying clothes, in black and burgundy, both in the currently popular forest style, with novel and versatile styles.

Su Nian's eyes lit up. "I love it! I'll call Aunt Fen to thank her later. I've been worried about having nothing to wear these days. This is a timely help for a pregnant woman like me!"

When Si Yan heard the words "no clothes", he came over cautiously and said, "Has everything you have now outgrown yours? I'll go buy some with you tomorrow!"

Chen Ran had just finished praising her son-in-law in her heart, but upon hearing this, her face instantly fell: "??? He didn't even prepare maternity clothes? This husband fails miserably. Bad review!"

Without a word, he pulled out his phone and quickly transferred some money to Su Nian. His tone was so arrogant that he was like a domineering CEO: "Spend it! Buy whatever you want!"

Si Yan's heart skipped a beat: It's over. My father-in-law has misunderstood me as a "stingy husband"...

Su Nian quickly tried to smooth things over: "Dad, I have all of Ah Yan's salary cards. He has plenty of money, don't worry, he can support me! Besides, I have enough clothes to wear. Aunt Fen made two more sets. If I buy more, they'll just gather dust, what a waste!"

Su Hong, who was watching coldly from the side, rolled her eyes at Chen Ran. "What the hell is this old man meddling in? Just being rich is such a big deal, huh? I have to have a good talk with him later. Don't do something bad with good intentions!"

When Chen Ran heard that the financial power was in his daughter's hands, his expression eased a lot.

He knew that he had wronged someone, so he quickly tried to make amends. He pulled Si Yan aside and talked about the portfolio and recommendation letters that he would need to prepare for applying to school. From time to time, he also asked Su Nian for his opinion. The atmosphere, which had been a little cold just now, instantly became warm again.

When they left, Chen Ran and Su Hong accompanied them downstairs. Su Hong also brought a large bag of washed fruit and stuffed it into Si Yan's hands: "Remember to let Nian Nian eat more cherries tomorrow to supplement her vitamins. In the future, your baby will have good skin and be as fair as you two."

Si Yan took the bag and said with a smile, "I promise to complete the task. Thank you, Mom. When the baby is born, how about calling him Little Cherry?"

Su Hong's eyes lit up: "Oh, little cherry! Nice! Sweet and cute, this is it!"

The car slowly drove out of the neighborhood. Su Nian leaned back in her chair, watching the lights passing by outside the window, feeling at ease. She turned her head to look at Si Yan who was driving and said softly, "With you and my parents by my side, I don't seem to be worried about going to France at all."

Si Yan freed one hand and held hers, his eyes reflecting the light of the street lamp, so gentle that it could drown water: "With me here, you don't have to be afraid of anything."

On the way home, Su Nian whispered to Si Yan, "My dad sometimes speaks and acts in a rather eccentric way. You don't have to pay attention to him. To be honest... I'm still not completely used to this dad's existence."

Si Yan knew what his wife was talking about and nodded. "Don't worry, he's the elder, and I understand his intentions—he's simply worried you'll be wronged, and he wants to give you the best. Think about it, he's only known about you for a short time. He's like a 'newbie player', and he probably gets panicked and loses his way, getting caught up in a mess."

Su Nian burst out laughing and poked his arm. "Professor Si, your image has completely collapsed! You used to be so steady and elegant, but now you just keep talking nonsense!"

Si Yan smiled and glanced at her, his fingertips gently stroking the back of her hand, his tone full of doting: "Don't laugh, compared to your father, I think I'm much luckier - you are a 'surprise from heaven' to him, but my baby, from the moment she was fertilized, I've been holding her in anticipation every day."

"Professor Si, are you showing off your 'cultivation happiness'?"

"No, no. Let's get back to the point. No matter how 'jumpy' he is, he's still your dad. If I'm more tolerant and tolerant, you'll be able to relax a little more. Don't worry about it, just get used to it slowly. There's no rush."

Su Nian felt sweet in her heart, leaned back in her chair and said "hmm" softly.

Si Yan is always like this, quietly accepting her little emotions and giving her a warm candy in return.

When they got home, Si Yan helped Su Nian sit down on the sofa, then went to the kitchen and poured her a cup of hot water. "Drink something hot to warm you up first. I'll go wash the cherries. You can eat something to fill your stomach."

Su Nian took the cup and looked at his busy back. Suddenly, she felt that the anxiety about "not getting used to his father's presence" seemed to be smoothed out little by little in Si Yan's gentleness.

She held the water cup and drank it in small sips, her eyes falling on the bag of bright red cherries on the coffee table - from now on, the baby will be called "Cherry", which sounds soft and nice.

Baby: Wait a minute, this name sounds like a girl's, right? What if I'm a boy?

Your parents said they have never thought about this question!
