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 182 Join in the fun of happiness
Fang Xia's due date was approaching, and Su Nian's troublesome morning sickness had finally come to an end.
Zhong Lu and Professor Si, the two men, gathered together and immediately decided, "We have to organize a party! First, to celebrate Su Nian's 'regained appetite', and second, to give Fang Xia some 'prenatal relaxation'. By the way... we can relax too!"
The location is set at a farm in the suburbs, where the air is fresh and it is friendly to pregnant mothers.
When Li Yue arrived at the scene, she was surprised to see that, apart from herself, the whole room was full of "key protected persons", which made it look like a "pregnant woman-friendly" team building.
"Sister Fang Xia, your belly looks bigger!" Su Nian said, looking at Fang Xia's watermelon-like pregnant belly.
"It's almost time for the baby to be born! Nian Nian, you won't vomit anymore, will you?" Fang Xia asked anxiously. Zhong Jie followed closely behind, helping Fang Xia sit down carefully.
Before Su Nian could speak, Si Yan replied, "She has a good appetite now. She finished a big bowl of beef noodles with me this morning, even eating the chopped green onions!"
Looking at the two couples in front of him singing the same song with such pride, the juice cup in Qin Chuan's hand was almost cracked. He really didn't know why he came so early. He should have arrived later.
What made him "unbearable to watch" was still to come:
Lin Feier was nestling comfortably on the sofa, while Liu Zhihao was squatting in front of her, turning into a "human shelling machine", carefully peeling the pistachios, and blowing on them before handing them to her mouth.
While enjoying the feeding, Lin Feier said to Su Nian, "I had planned to report to the hospital after graduation, but I found out I was pregnant."
"Fei'er, you've directly transformed from a 'quasi-angel in white' to a 'Liu family's exclusive national treasure'. You didn't manage to attend the class, but you maxed out your skill of 'lying down and eating'." Su Nian pointed it out.
Liu Zhihao immediately chimed in: "What kind of work? Your current KPI is to stay happy. When the baby is born, I'll be responsible for supporting the family, and you'll be responsible for looking beautiful!"
As he spoke, he did not forget to tuck the corner of the small blanket on her legs. His meticulous attention to detail gave Qin Chuan goosebumps.
Fang Xia was touching her round pregnant belly and sharing a funny story: "You don't know, a few days ago, Zhong Jie stayed up in the middle of the night and got up in the dark to fold the baby's clothes. He folded them quite neatly, but he mistakenly put socks in with gloves. It made me laugh to death."
Zhong Jie stood aside, his ears slightly red, but he was still trying to maintain his dignity: "I... I'm a newbie! You are a key protected person now, so you can't laugh too hard, what if you hurt your back..."
Before he could finish his words, seeing Fang Xia reaching out to grab the apple on the table, Zhong Jie rushed over and said, "Let me do it! My heart rate will speed up if you move now. It's more exciting than watching a football game!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a mini cushion from his pocket and stuffed it precisely into Fang Xia's lower back. "I brought it specially. It's ergonomically designed to ensure comfort."
Even though pregnant women need care, what Qin Chuan finds most "eye-catching" are the two lively guys Li Yue and Wu Yichen - the two of them are like conjoined twins, holding hands wherever they go.
These two enemies are deliberately trying to provoke me.
It was clearly agreed that the three of them were close buddies, but I didn't expect that I would be kicked out in the end, and the two of them became a family. It makes me cry just thinking about it!
Qin Chuan sat alone in the corner, watching the large-scale "love show" in front of him, and the lemonade in his hand tasted like aged coptis chinensis.
Si Yan was sharp-eyed. Seeing Qin Chuan alone, he quickly called Bao'er, who was studying the Tyrannosaurus Rex on the carpet, "Bao'er, go play with your Uncle Qin for a while. Don't let him think about life alone."
Baoer immediately ran over, clutching his glowing and roaring Tyrannosaurus Rex toy, and said proudly in his baby voice, "Uncle Qin! Can we play Dinosaur Wars together? My Tyrannosaurus Rex is awesome! It glows and roars!"
As he said that, he pressed the switch, and with a "Woo--" sound, the dinosaur's eyes immediately emitted blue light.
The corners of Qin Chuan's mouth, which were originally drooping, unconsciously relaxed a little after being disturbed by this little ball.
He reached out and rubbed Baoer's soft hair: "Uncle didn't bring any equipment today, so I can only be your spectator." Then he sat down on the carpet.
Baoer got excited and waved the Tyrannosaurus Rex in front of Qin Chuan: "The Tyrannosaurus Rex is going to defeat the sofa cushion monster! Uncle Qin, look, it's charging!"
Qin Chuan nodded in agreement, but his eyes involuntarily drifted around - Liu Zhihao said something that made Lin Feier laugh and fall on his shoulder; Zhong Jie was meticulously removing the white meridians from Orange; Li Yue and Wu Yichen were leaning their heads against each other, looking at their phones, and laughing from time to time.
Qin Chuan’s inner thoughts: Well, single people really are not worthy of mixing in the adult circle, and can only be relegated to playmates in the children’s area. This class division is too obvious.
Just as he was being emo, Wu Yichen strolled over, patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder, and smiled so brightly that he almost asked for a beating. "Boss Qin, I heard your company's financial report this year was dazzling again? Life as a bachelor is so comfortable. Financial freedom, time freedom! Unlike us, we have to hand in our paychecks, report our timesheets, and even hide our private money in our socks to survive."
Qin Chuan glanced at him and said slowly, "I can't help it. No one's watching, so I have to live with the money. Unlike some people who are on call 24 hours a day, know everything about everything from prenatal music to maternity diets, and even have to video chat with their wives on time to watch football games. This kind of 'happiness' is too heavy, I'm afraid I can't enjoy it."
He paused, then added, "By the way, shouldn't I return the soccer membership I borrowed from you last time? You can't let your wife's strict control ruin your credit, right?"
Wu Yichen was choked by the retort and quickly laughed it off: "Well, Yueyue called me, let's talk again! Mr. Qin, you continue to enjoy the tranquility of being a single aristocrat!" After that, he slipped away.
Baoer looked at Wu Yichen's running back, then glanced at Qin Chuan. Suddenly, she stretched out her little fleshy hand and tugged at his tie, saying seriously, "Uncle Qin, you should find an aunt as soon as possible! That way, you'll have someone to accompany you at the next party."
"Uncle, don't worry. I still have Bao'er to accompany me, right?"
"Next time I'll be with my younger siblings."
Qin Chuan was amused by Baoer and pinched his little face helplessly: "Okay, uncle will try hard, okay?"
The child's innocent words made the whole audience laugh.
Si Yan came over and patted Qin Chuan on the back with a smile: "Did you hear that? Even our Bao'er is worried about your life! When will you be able to take off the hat of 'single nail house'?"
Qin Chuan looked at Baoer's bright smile, and then at his friends who were laughing and playing around. The little depression of being single in his heart had long since disappeared - although he was "targeted" all night, it seemed not bad to be able to join in such a happy and lively atmosphere.
