Li Wenxuan quickly calmed down after his father's instructions. Looking at his wife sitting there, unsure of what to do, he nodded and said, "I understand, Dad. Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of my wife."

Then he walked over, ignoring his parents' presence, and pulled Wang Yueyue into his arms, whispering words of comfort to her.

Li Chu tugged at Ding Qiunan's arm: "Let's go back first and let the young couple have some time to themselves."

"I……"

Her husband pulled her outside, and she asked with some concern, "Honey, what's wrong with Yueyue?"

"There's nothing seriously wrong. She's just a little emotionally unsettled. After all, she's only twenty years old. Although she's been talking about getting pregnant and having a baby for the past few months since the wedding, she's still a child herself. Now that she's suddenly going to be a mother, her mental state is bound to change a bit. It's okay, I believe she'll recover quickly."

"Well... never mind, I'll go cook her two poached eggs."

"Heat up yesterday's leftovers and heat up two steamed buns for us to eat. I'll sweep the yard."

"Okay, I understand."

Li Chu was right. Wang Yueyue was only a little panicked for a moment. She returned to her normal state by dinner time. She sat at the table and kept talking to Ding Qiunan about whether it was a boy or a girl. She also said that she would start preparing baby clothes for the baby in her belly from now on and that she would learn to make them herself.

Seeing her return to normal, Li Chu and his son Li Wenxuan both breathed a sigh of relief.

Wenxuan was so excited that he couldn't eat more than a few bites, so he simply ran out to tell everyone the good news.

Soon, Li Qin and Wang Ziwen from next door, as well as Ding's parents, all ran over. Wang Jiadong and his wife, who were already getting ready to leave for work, and Ding Jianguo and his family also ran over.

Li Qin was probably the happiest, just like when she found out Ding Qiunan was pregnant. She held Wang Yueyue's hand and kept telling her about things she needed to pay attention to.

After informing his own family, Li Wenxuan started calling his wife's family.

This has really stirred up a hornet's nest. Wang Yueyue has grown up with Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang since she was a child, and she is much closer to them than the other grandchildren who are rarely seen.

Now that their beloved granddaughter is pregnant, even Uncle Wang postponed a meeting to rush over here, not to mention Aunt Wang and Li Qiaoyun.

Wang Jun couldn't be contacted; his unit had been taken out for cross-country training.

When Li Chu saw this situation, he thought, "Fine, I won't go to work today either." He didn't care, but he still helped Ding Qiunan get a day off.

Wang Yueyue has another class today, so she has to find someone to cover for her and stay at home waiting for her grandparents and mother to come over.

Seeing how much her family cared for her, the last trace of doubt in her heart completely disappeared. Sitting on the sofa listening to her aunt and grandmother chatter, her little face remained rosy.

Li Wenxuan, like a fool, just kept grinning foolishly.

By noon, after those who had left for work or school in the morning, a dozen or so people sat around a large table.

Li Chu, who hadn't cooked in a long time, had a bittersweet lunch today. He was making the medicinal cuisine he got from the system by himself in the kitchen, but in the end he didn't get a single bite and could only make himself some noodles.

The noise in the house finally subsided in the evening. Four months later, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang moved back in, and Li Qiaoyun was also persuaded by Wang Yueyue to stay for a few days.

Adding in the number of guards, this made Li Chu realize for the first time that his home wasn't actually that big, and he didn't have enough houses. This made him wonder if he should continue to buy houses.

However, he wouldn't buy a small courtyard house, but if he could find a large courtyard house with three courtyards like the one he mentioned before, he would buy it without hesitation.

In the living room, after everyone had gone back to their rooms, Li Chu sat on the sofa, looking a little tired, and drank tea. He had been very busy all day, and even with his superhuman physique, he felt a bit exhausted.

loubiqu.

Ding Qiunan then walked out of the bedroom with her hands behind her back and sat down next to her husband.

"Happy birthday, darling. I was going to tell you this morning, but I forgot because of Yueyue's pregnancy."

"Thanks"

"I have a gift for you, but you mustn't laugh at me."

Li Chu was truly pleasantly surprised; there was even a gift!

"Is there a gift for me?"

"Well, this is a little thing I made myself. For so many years, I've never known why you don't like to celebrate your birthday, but whether it's my birthday or the children's birthday, you always cook a delicious meal for us. So on your fiftieth birthday, I've also prepared a small gift for you."

As she spoke, Ding Qiunan took her hands out from behind her back and opened them in front of her husband.

"Open it and take a look."

Li Chu glanced at his wife and happily took the handkerchief-like object from her hand.

It really is a handkerchief, but unlike other handkerchiefs, this one has two little figures embroidered in the middle, which is obviously Ding Qiunan's own work.

Two little figures, a boy and a girl, stood there holding hands, and she had even embroidered their names on their heads.

Below the figure is another passage: "In life and death, we made a vow. I will hold your hand and grow old with you."

After reading it, Li Chu looked up at his wife with bright eyes.

Do you like it?

"I love it, I love it so much, but I won't use this handkerchief in the future. I will keep it as a precious keepsake."

Li Chu carefully folded the handkerchief, put it in his pocket, then reached out and picked up Ding Qiunan, letting her sit on his lap, and kissed her.

Unexpectedly, Ding Qiunan was not satisfied with this gentle kiss. She reached out, hooked her arm around her husband's neck, and kissed him deeply.

After a long while, their lips parted, and she leaned against his strong chest, murmuring, "Darling, time flies so fast. I haven't even felt anything yet. More than twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and our child is about to have a child. I suddenly feel a little scared."

What are you afraid of?

"I'm afraid that one day when I open my eyes, we'll all be old men and women with white hair."

"Don't worry, my wife is naturally beautiful. When you go out with Wenhui and Wang Yueyue, everyone will say you're sisters."

"Ugh, who can stay young forever?"

"Yes, we will all grow old, but our hearts will never change."

At this point, Li Chu hummed softly: "Oh, the first time I said I loved you, my breath caught in my throat and my heart trembled. Oh, the first time I held your hands, I lost my way and didn't know where to go... That was the first time I knew what forever meant!"
