Chapter 181 Baoer's Revenge

When Li Yue learned that Su Nian had successfully pocketed it again, she almost spit out the coffee in her hand.

She rolled her eyes and complained, "Hey, sis, I seriously suspect Chen's Design Department has a 'pregnancy cheat' for you! You're not even here to work, you're clearly here to clock in for pregnancy—last time you came for your first child, and this time you're here for your second. If you keep this up, the company will have to give you a dedicated 'pregnancy station' with a banner saying 'This person will definitely get pregnant!'"

These words sounded so magical that Su Nian burst out laughing. She rubbed her belly, which hadn't even shown yet, and nodded. "You're right. Now when I see the door of the design department, I feel like it has a 'birth-inducing buff'."

Thinking about it carefully, the design department is indeed "full of good pregnancies", and has completely transformed from the "melon field" in the past to the blessed land today: in addition to her, Lan Ting is married and pregnant, Fang Xia has also returned home to give birth, and Teacher Zhihao is probably about to become a father!

"Sister Yue, I think you will be the next one to be blessed with good luck." Su Nian joked.

"Oh, there's something wrong with me. I've just finished writing the first stroke of my destiny, and you're pregnant with your second child! I can't keep up with this pace at all!" Li Yue deliberately sighed, but in fact she was showing off her love.

Li Yue finally took action against Wu Yichen's buddy. Judging from the tone of his voice and the implied meaning of the stroke, he must have succeeded and was in the process of meeting his parents and preparing to get the marriage certificate.

Su Nian immediately put the blame on him, "Who can you blame for your slow progress?! This should have been settled during the first round of hot pot, but you insisted on being some buddy with him. You've wasted over two years in vain, which is enough time for someone to get pregnant and then wean off the baby!"

Su Nian objectively summarized the entire love history of Li Yue and Wu Yichen.

"I'm happy to hear that. I call this a 'slow-burn love marathon'!" Li Yue insisted. "It's all about 'good things take time to come'. I like the contrast of 'from brothers to lovers'. It's much more exciting than your 'right-and-dirty' kind of thing!"

"Okay, as long as you're happy." Su Nian deliberately dragged out the tone, "By the way, should I start preparing the red envelopes now?"

Li Yue immediately came over, her face as thick as a city wall. "Miss, your financial resources must have increased again! The red envelope must be generous enough to match your 'dual identity'!"

"It's easy to get a big red envelope," Su Nian raised an eyebrow and pointed at the ceiling. "Go ask my dad for it. He's more interested in my belly than the design draft right now. If you mention 'merit for taking care of a pregnant woman,' I guarantee you'll be more generous than me and Professor Si."

Li Yue instantly became intimidated, shaking her head like a rattle. "Don't worry! How could I dare to face the chairman's aura? I'd better be a 'pregnancy protection ambassador' willingly. It's safer!"

Su Nian secretly rejoiced: "My dad wants to give red envelopes to anyone who treats me well now. You're so brave! I'm afraid you'll miss this "opportunity to get rich quick"!"

The baby in my belly will have the surname "Chen" when the time comes.

When Su Nian became pregnant, Chen Ran didn't wait for Zhang Minghua and others to take action. From the early stages of the pregnancy, he and Su Hong took the initiative to take care of her.

After experiencing the chaos at the company during Su Nian's first pregnancy and the various turmoil that followed, this time he had a clear goal: he must give Su Nian the most comfortable and stable pregnancy.

He personally adjusted Su Nian's work schedule, assigning the projects that required travel and high pressure to other designers in the project team, ensuring that she only had to deal with some decision-making and guidance work to minimize fatigue.

Su Hong even moved in directly, saying, "Nian Nian's reaction this time is different from when she was pregnant with Bao Bao. I have to watch it myself to feel at ease."

In fact, she felt sorry for her daughter and understood that Chen Ran wanted to make up for his past regrets.

Su Hong arranged all the meals and soups at home carefully. Even Bao'er was taught by her grandparents: "There is a baby in my belly, Bao'er, please be gentle."

This airtight protection made Su Nian feel like a national treasure, a giant panda. She felt warm inside, and occasionally she would complain to Li Yue with a smile on her face: "I feel like I'm the key protected person in the family now. Even when I drink water, someone wants to test the temperature for me."

Li Yue tutted her words twice, "Be content! This is a blessing that the Chairman and the Queen Mother personally protect, and many people would beg for it. Just be at ease and be your Queen!"

Si Yan now has both experience and confidence. This time, his performance is even more like an upgraded version of the "model father-to-be."

The prenatal checkup was the same as last time, without missing a single one, and she even remembered it more clearly than Su Nian did.

Not only was prenatal education put on the agenda early, all the items needed by pregnant women were also fully prepared, and even the baby room was redecorated under his personal supervision.

Whenever Su Nian had leg cramps at night, he would always wake up immediately and patiently massage her to relieve the pain.

One weekend evening, the two of them cuddled together on the sofa. Si Yan's large hand gently rested on Su Nian's still-undeveloped belly, his tone filled with a gentle relief. "This time, this baby is truly 'born out of love.' Last time, when Bao Er was pregnant, we weren't that familiar with each other yet, and we didn't do many things. This time, I must watch over you from beginning to end."

Baoer is jealous—Humph! They knew I was an accident, but it's too obvious that my parents treat me differently.

Baoer's father—it's no use! We don't settle scores after the fact in our family. Son, when you were first born, your parents were strangers!

Your mother is always worried about how to explain to your grandmother, and your father is only thinking about how to marry your mother home. How could he have time to care about you?

Baoer disagrees - can two strangers have a child?

Chen Ran raised his eyebrows. "Why not? For example, your father and your mother!"

Su Nian didn't want to care about the inner struggle between the father and son. She leaned happily in Si Yan's arms, feeling his steady heartbeat and the warmth of his palm, and her heart was at peace.

At the same time, the design department is as solid as a rock under the iron-fisted management of Director Zhihao and Assistant Li Yue.

Zhihao is in charge of the overall affairs of the design department. Li Yue fully demonstrates her "thick-skinned" and quick-witted characteristics, taking charge of external coordination and communication, and keeping out all the trivial matters that may disturb Su Nian.

Now that Fang Xia is home expecting her baby, Zhang Qiuyan has become the team's leader. Calm and attentive, she keeps the department's internal affairs in perfect order, ensuring efficient progress in design work.

During this pregnancy, there was no anxiety, no rumors, only the peace of mind of being wrapped in love and the joy of waiting for the flowers to bloom.

Occasionally, Su Nian touched her slightly bulging belly, looked at the familiar city scenery outside the window, and thought about her considerate husband, lovely daughter, supportive friends and family around her. She felt that life was perfect, nothing more than this.
