Chapter 178: So, you're actually already considering remarrying me, right?
After returning from the banquet, Sang Qian was a little tired, so she didn't ask Jin Changyu to come to her room for prenatal education. After taking a shower, she went to bed and prepared to sleep.
But just before going to sleep, he received a message from Su Luoluo.
It was a photo. Sang Qian clicked on it and saw that it was a group photo of their family on stage.
Her gaze was immediately drawn to the man standing next to her.
This was the first time she had ever seen Jin Changyu smile like that.
The man's lips curled into a charming smile, and his starry eyes, gazing at the camera, shone with a gentle and refined smile.
In addition, his already outstanding appearance made his smile even more dazzling.
They were standing very close together, and he had his arm around her waist, so visually it looked as if she was snuggling intimately in his arms.
Su Luoluo sent her an emoji that read: "[This princess is angry]".
【What's wrong with this man? He didn't smile in his own wedding photos, but he's smiling so brightly in my engagement photos. He's stealing the spotlight from my son, Dahai, just because he's handsome. Humph.】
Was he deliberately here to cause trouble?
Sang smiled and replied, "That's impossible."
She replied with a phrase Su Luoluo often used: "Our Dahai is the most handsome man in the world, unmatched by anyone."
What limelight could he possibly steal?
Su Luoluo sent a animated emoticon that read "observing secretly".
I seriously doubt you're exaggerating the ocean's grandeur; you're actually defending someone else.
Sang Qian replied with a crying emoji that read, "I didn't, I'm innocent!"
The two exchanged a few more pictures until Su Luoluo said the sea was calling her, at which point they ended their chat.
Sang Qian leaned against the headboard, downloaded and saved the group photo to her phone's album, then opened the photo and fixed her gaze on the man's smiling face.
As she looked at the photo, she couldn't help but reach out a finger and gently poke the handsome face of the man in the picture.
"Hmph, now you know how to laugh?"
Why didn't you do this sooner?
"Didn't we say that taking photos should be solemn and serious? What are you laughing at?"
...
She muttered to herself about the photo for a while until she got sleepy, then put down her phone and went to sleep.

After that day, their relationship became more harmonious than before, though in a way that was hard to explain.
No matter how busy Jin Changyu was with work, he would come to her room every night without fail to do prenatal education.
I would occasionally tell her about Jin's mother's current situation.
Sometimes it's a video of her doing farm work, and sometimes it's a picture of her sitting under the banyan tree at the village entrance chatting with the local villagers.
More than a month passed like this.
That evening, when Jin Changyu came to the room for prenatal education, he told Sang Qian that the piglets his mother had been taking care of had been weaned and sold, and her first task had been successfully completed.
Her second task was to help the villagers sell the harvested corn.
Jin Changyu said she personally negotiated prices with corn dealers and even negotiated them down to a record high.
She also suggested that the villagers reprocess the leftover, substandard corn that the vendors rejected into novel snacks or handicrafts and sell them at the market.
Not a single resource is wasted.
After hearing what he said, Sang Qian couldn't help but praise, "Your mother is indeed a member of the Jin family; she's quite good at business."
"Yes, the women in our Jin family are all outstanding."
Jin Changyu looked at her, his smiling eyes filled with undisguised appreciation and praise.
That means she is also very outstanding.
Sang Qian glanced at him, ignored his words, and changed the subject, "Next month is Chinese New Year, when are you going to bring your mother back?"
Jin Changyu said, "She's very popular there now; the villagers want her to stay and celebrate the New Year with them."
"Did your mom agree?"
"She didn't agree, but said she would stay until the day before New Year's Eve to come back, and wanted to hold a banquet for the villagers there before the New Year as a way to wish them a Happy New Year in advance."
Sang Qian was somewhat surprised.
Has she become so approachable now?
"Your mom gets along quite well with the people there."
With a look of satisfaction in his eyes, Jin Changyu said, "Once a person's thoughts change, their temperament and behavior will also change."
Sang Qian teased him, "You've done a pretty good job of reforming your mom."
"Yes, Mom is different now than before."
Jin Changyu took her hand, which was resting on the blanket, and looked at her earnestly. "So, Qianqian, can you come back to the Jin family home with me for Chinese New Year this year?"
Sang Qian's fingertips trembled, and she lowered her eyes. "...I want to go back and live with my second uncle."
“You’ll be seven months pregnant during the Spring Festival. The journey back home will be bumpy, and you’ll be too heavy to handle it,” Jin Changyu said. “I don’t think your second uncle would agree to you traveling back and forth like that.”
Seeing that Sang Qian's expression faltered slightly, he gently suggested, "How about we bring Uncle over and spend the New Year together here?"
Sang Qian's eyes flickered. "Bring Second Uncle here for the New Year?"
"Hmm." Jin Changyu gently stroked her pregnant belly under the blanket. "How about we bring Uncle over and have him stay here for a few months to see our baby born?"
"OK……"
Sang Qian nodded emphatically without thinking, but the next second, she shook her head with a droopy face, "I'd rather not."
"Why?"
She really wanted her second uncle to come when she gave birth and witness the arrival of their child.
“My second uncle is here and staying here. If we can’t keep our separate sleeping arrangements a secret, then our divorce will be exposed too.”
Upon hearing this, Jin Changyu's expression paused slightly.
"So, after such a long period of observation, you still never thought of giving me a chance?"
He adopted a defeated expression, his eyes looking at her with sadness and hurt.
Sang Qian's heart trembled violently. Her mind went blank, and she instinctively shook her head and began to explain.
"No, I was thinking that even if we get back together later, we can just secretly remarry. There's no need for our families to know that we were divorced."
Since they've kept this a secret for so long, she feels it's unnecessary to get back together, and she doesn't really want her family to know, otherwise...
Their family thought they were having a fight and then went to get a divorce and remarry, as if they were playing around, making it seem like they didn't take marriage seriously at all.
And if they find out, we'll have to explain to them the reasons for our divorce and the reasons for keeping it a secret, which is such a hassle.
After hearing her words, a glint flashed in Jin Changyu's eyes, and he excitedly grabbed her hand. "So, you're actually already considering remarrying me, is that right?"
"..."
Sang Qian's pupils contracted, and she suddenly realized what she had just said.
She quickly added, "Can't you hear the main point? What I'm trying to say is that it's not appropriate for us to let both sets of parents know about our divorce yet."
She pulled her hand back, touched her belly, and whispered, "Whether or not we remarry is another matter... at least, let's talk about it after the baby is born."
Should we wait until the baby is born before deciding?
That tone...
Is there hope for their remarriage?
Jin Changyu was overjoyed, but he had to keep his composure and try his best to suppress the urge to hug and kiss the person.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
After a pause, he seized the opportunity to say, "Then how about this, after we bring Second Uncle out, I'll move into your room."
