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 158 Let’s Forgive Confused Mommy
Si Yan leaned against his wife's belly, his voice so soft that it could squeeze water out of her.
But no matter how he coaxed her, "Baby, baby," Su Nian's belly remained as steady as a rock, without any ripples.
"Is my baby asleep?"
Baby's inner thoughts: Humph, you've been back for so long, and you've been busy hanging out with my mom, and now you remember me? Belated courtesy, bad review! I've turned on Do Not Disturb mode.
"Has the baby been moving a lot lately? Has it been naughty and disturbing your sleep?"
"It's about the same as before, quite regular." Su Nian smiled and touched his hair.
Si Yan raised his head and looked at Su Nian with a bit of scrutiny, his eyes filled with doting suspicion: "No way? I'm not at home, you can't be so busy with work that you don't even communicate with Baoer properly?"
He paused and began to "check on Bao Er." "Have you arranged those beautiful ancient poems and soothing classical music that I asked you to play before you left?"
The baby in my belly wanted to open his mouth and yell: Daddy, no! There is no ancient poetry or music at all!
Su Nian blinked a little guiltily, trying to get away with it: "Uh... classical poetry... I read him an English project book, so it should... count as language training, right?"
As for music, she had completely forgotten it.
Si Yan looked like he knew it, and said to his belly seriously, "Hey, Baoer, let's forgive our confused mommy, okay?"
He stood up, gently put his arms around Su Nian, and gently stroked her abdomen with his palm.
It seems that I will have to take care of my baby's prenatal education myself in the future.
It was not until they took a bath and went to bed that Si Yan played soothing Beethoven, and the baby finally moved.
"Baoer, have you heard daddy's exclusive BGM?" Si Yan proudly began prenatal education.
What the baby wants to say is: Daddy, I'm just giving Beethoven face! Forget it, I'm generous and don't care about it.
The moonlight outside the window is just right, and for them, the best thing is the reunion after separation, which makes each other more convinced that where they are is their real home.
The next day, Su Nian returned to Mr. Si's exclusive pick-up and drop-off mode.
As soon as she stepped into the design department, Li Yue's eyes were attracted by a magnet and locked on the bright gold color outside Su Nian's black woolen dress.
"Hey sister, isn't it too ostentatious for you to wear this gold badge?" Li Yue came forward and teased in a low voice.
"Hmph, this is exactly the effect I want!" Su Nian's tone of voice was a little influenced by Li Yue.
"This must be Mr. Si's work. Could it be a couple's pair?" Li Yue followed up the conversation with curiosity in her eyes.
"The layout needs to be expanded. This is a couple + parent-child style. You don't understand it, right?" Su Nian shook her neck gently, and the show-off in her words could not be hidden.
Li Yue felt like she was poured with a bucket of cold water, and she cried out inwardly: "Let me be so mean! Why are you asking?! I've been shown off again! Isn't this just looking for excitement?"
Teacher Zhihao simply didn't respond. Even though they got together for dinner every day, her relationship with Liu Zhihao always remained at the level of ordinary friends, without any progress at all.
It seems that I have to invite Wu Yichen and Qin Chuan tonight. I can’t bear the bitterness of being single alone. I have to invite those two buddies to experience it together.
Since that time, the three of them have become "comrades-in-arms" who can talk about anything. Apart from the other two couples, they get together every now and then.
Zhong Jie and Fang Xia have made a lot of progress recently.
At the beginning, Fang Xia was always nervous because she was divorced and felt that she was not worthy of Zhong Jie, who was in a better position.
Zhong Jie was the lawyer who helped Fang Xia with her divorce. He knew best how much this girl had suffered in the past. His feelings for her never wavered, and he pursued her wholeheartedly.
Now Fang Xia has finally let go of her worries, and the two of them have officially entered a stable relationship.
Three weeks passed unknowingly. After repeated polishing and revisions in a four-person meeting, the concept design prepared by the design department for the French studio was finally finalized and officially submitted to the other party, awaiting a reply.
Liu Zhihao is full of confidence in this set of designs that he and Su Nian have poured their heart and soul into.
Now that work had eased up for a while, Su Nian immediately threw herself into English training.
She had already submitted the application materials for the French school. According to the process, the results would not be known until after the new year.
Her due date is at the end of February or the beginning of March. If everything goes well, she will be able to study abroad after giving birth. By then, it will be a "hardcore life of raising a baby and studying abroad". It is unknown whether it will be pleasant or frustrating.
Now that New Year's Day is approaching, Su Nian, who is in the late stage of pregnancy, is becoming more and more bulky, and it is more inconvenient for her to move around.
Yesterday she just casually complained to Si Yan, "Why do my clothes feel tight again?" Unexpectedly, today, Si Yan directly prepared several sets of loose clothes from inside to outside. He didn't want to be criticized by his father-in-law again. Su Nian felt warm in her heart, full of the happiness of being loved.
At noon, Chen Ran specially called Su Nian to the top-floor office and mentioned that his grandmother in the south wanted to come to Jiangcheng to celebrate the Lunar New Year. The old lady's health had been temporarily stabilized, but she still had this thought in her heart.
Su Nian followed his gaze out the window, where fine snowflakes were falling softly. She felt an inexplicable, complex feeling: hesitation shrouded in anticipation, and awkwardness mingled with warmth. Even she couldn't quite place it. How should she greet this grandmother she had never met?
If the old lady hadn't intervened, how could her parents have separated? For more than 20 years, her mother had been alone with her and suffered so much, she saw it with her own eyes and remembered it in her heart.
Now her mother has let it go, but what about her? Should she continue to be awkward?
Su Nian sighed softly - the old lady asked to come at this time, probably because she knew that her days were numbered, and she wanted to see her only granddaughter with her own eyes, and she also wanted to wait for her great-grandson to be born to fulfill a wish.
"Grandma knitted several sweaters for the baby herself. She even asked me what color I liked, saying she wanted to knit one for you, too." Seeing her silence, Chen Ran smiled and added, his tone full of relief, "I tried to persuade her not to tire herself out, but she wasn't happy. She said nothing you buy outside can be as warm as knitted ones."
Su Nian took a long time to speak, her voice soft: "When will she come? Where will she stay? What does my mother... think?" She simply asked out all the thoughts in her mind at once.
