Xu Xining adores this new life, free from the heavy burdens of her previous identity and suffocating responsibilities.
What she feels most is the love from her family and the freedom of livin...
To avoid suspicion, Ouyang Changshan didn't even accept the wedding candy, but instead had Ye Jiang place it on his table, without even giving her a glance.
Ouyang Changshan also found it strange. It seemed that the feelings he had for someone he liked so much had vanished after the breakup. Now, he couldn't feel anything when he saw Ye Jiang.
In the quiet of the night, Ouyang Changshan would sometimes wonder if what he felt for Ye Jiang was truly love. He thought that it might just be a momentary attraction that a man has when he sees his type.
Actually, it's a good thing that they separated in time due to a misunderstanding. It's better than getting married and then finding out they're not compatible, constantly arguing and causing chaos and exhaustion at home.
Ye Jiang didn't linger. As she left, she gave Xu Xinning a meaningful look, then puffed out her chest and walked away arrogantly.
Du Changpu looked at Ye Jiang, who was walking away, with a puzzled expression. Then she pointed at Ye Jiang and looked at Xu Xinning: "She...she...this...this..."
Mu Jingheng smacked Du Changpu with a rolled-up newspaper, annoyed, and said, "What do you mean 'she'? What do you mean 'this'? You idiot, no wonder you're still single at your age."
Du Changpu didn't like hearing these things. He had already had enough of being nagged by his family every time he came home recently, and he didn't expect this tactless person to bring it up again.
This is intolerable!
He can't handle this guy; someone else will eventually be able to subdue him.
Du Changpu looked at Xu Xinning, revealing what he thought was the cutest and most innocent expression, and said coquettishly, "Master~ look..."
Xu Xinning felt a chill run down her spine; all the hairs on her body stood on end. It seemed that even the baby in her womb felt the cold and kicked her stomach hard.
Xu Xinning soothed her belly with her hand, glaring at Du Changpu and said, "If you dare to scare my baby like that again, I'll use silver needles on you, believe it or not?"
Xiao Ning laughed heartily without holding back.
Mu Jingheng and Ouyang Changshan were both amused.
It has to be said that he still needs to be with young people. Du Changpu felt that following Xu Xinning was the happiest, most relaxed, and best learning period of his life.
Not only did Du Changpu think so, but Ouyang Changshan also thought so.
As members of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, the two were taught to memorize prescriptions and herbs from the time they could speak. It could be said that they had no childhood and did not know what a normal childhood was like.
After the consultation session ended, the seminar was next, so Xu Xinning and her team got another day of rest.
Because of her previous experience going out with Wu's second son's wife, Xu Xinning was determined not to go out this time, after all, she was pregnant and dared not be careless.
It was safe in the compound, but Mu Jingheng had been sent out on another errand by Old Master Jiang.
He didn't return until late afternoon, but he was accompanied by Xu Mingyang and Kuang Meizhu, who surprised Xu Xinning.
Kuang Meizhu is also pregnant, a month earlier than Xu Xinning, but her belly isn't as big as Xu Xinning's.
When her family arrived, Xu Xinning's eyes welled up with tears.
Since Xu Xinning became pregnant, her emotions have become more normal.
She shouts when she's excited, laughs loudly when she's happy, slams her fist on the table and curses when she's angry, and becomes increasingly affectionate in front of Mu Jingheng. She also gets teary-eyed like she is now when she sees her family.
Xu Xinning will never act as aloof as she did when she was a princess in her previous life.
In Mu Jingheng's view, Xu Xinning is becoming more and more vibrant.
Upon seeing the visitors, Xu Xinning jumped up from the sofa and excitedly went to greet them: "Uncle, Aunt~"
Xu Mingyang was overjoyed to see Xu Xinning. When he saw her rushing towards him without a care in the world, he quickly stepped forward to steady her, and patted her head with a smile, saying, "Why are you so unsteady now that you're going to be a mother?"
Kuang Meizhu stepped forward with a smile and said, "Isn't your belly a month smaller than mine? How come it looks much bigger? Could it be twins?"
Mu Jingheng said proudly, "Auntie has a good eye. Xin'er is pregnant with twins, and they are even a boy and a girl."
Kuang Meizhu exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Ningning, you're amazing!"
Mu Jingheng joked, "Auntie, shouldn't I be the one who's better?"
Xu Mingyang punched Mu Jingheng in annoyance and said, "How can you be so shameless?"
The aunt didn't recognize them, but she could tell something from their conversation, so she smiled and stepped forward, saying, "Are these your in-laws, Uncle and Aunt? Please have a seat, I'll go get some more dishes."
Xu Xinning quickly said, "Auntie, please buy a roast duck so my uncle and aunt can have a taste."
Kuang Meizhu immediately said, "Auntie, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
The aunt smiled warmly and waved her hand, saying, "Don't be so polite, we're all family, please have a seat."
Xu Mingyang should have reported for duty long ago, but they refused to let him go, and Kuang Meizhu's pregnancy was not going well, so it was delayed.
He had heard that Xu Xinning was going to represent the country at a domestic and international medical exchange conference, and that enemy agents had tried to arrest her more than once, so he didn't want to postpone it any longer.
After hearing about Xu Xinning's situation, Kuang Meizhu rushed over. She knew that Xu Mingyang valued Xu Xinning. Strangely enough, ever since he decided to come to Kyoto immediately, the baby in her belly had become unusually well-behaved.
It looks like this is another doll that spoils its older sister.
It has to be said that Xu Xinning is truly charming; it seems that her family's doting on her is ingrained in their bones.
The aunt rushed out, and Xu Xinning pulled Kuang Meizhu to sit on the sofa.
Xu Xinning also asked Mu Jingheng to bring out a bunch of snacks and fruits.
This was the first time Kwong Mei-chu had ever seen so many rare foods.
Kuang Meizhu discovered that since marrying Xu Mingyang, her horizons have been constantly expanding. At first, she would look at him with disbelief, like an ignorant country bumpkin (although she really was a country bumpkin). But over time, she learned to control her emotions.
Xu Xinning looked at Xu Mingyang and asked, "Has Uncle officially started working here?"
Xu Mingyang: "Yes! You've officially started working here, and you're settling down in Kyoto from now on. Aren't you happy?"
Xu Xinning nodded childishly.
Xu Mingyang also noticed the change in Xu Xinning, and he looked at Mu Jingheng with satisfaction.
Only women in happy marriages would show such a childlike expression, especially since Xu Xinning's original personality had always been so aloof.
Xu Xinning: "Have the houses been allocated?"
Mu Jingheng answered in his own words, "Yes, it's been allocated. It's over 70 square meters, two bedrooms and a living room, right here in this courtyard. How about that? Surprised?"
Xu Mingyang laughed and said, "It's thanks to Chief Jiang's care. Otherwise, someone with my qualifications wouldn't have been able to get a house in this compound right away."
Mu Jingheng: "Uncle, don't underestimate yourself. With your abilities, it's only right that you get a room in this compound. If things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before you're transferred to this area."
