The car doors were locked, and the surroundings became quiet.
Ye Li stared blankly at the two cartoon figures swaying in the sunlight shining through the car window.
Bai Xiaoli clenched her fists and stomped her feet, transforming into a groundhog: Oh my god, you're really going to be a mom! Ahhh...
Hei Xiaoli, resting her chin on her hand with an air of fearlessness, said: Congratulations on advancing! A new chapter in your life is about to begin!
Ye Li's mental state oscillated between overwhelming joy and maintaining rationality, leaving her feeling bewildered and unsure of how to react.
“Ah Li…”
Ye Li's head was rubbed, and she came back to her senses. She saw Fu Yanci looking conflicted. "Where...are we going back?"
The precautions the doctor just gave me for early pregnancy were already in a parenting encyclopedia that Fu Yanci had read a long time ago.
Fu Yanci was confident that he could take good care of Ali.
Perhaps we should go back to Lishan Mansion. It's just him and her there; it feels a bit lonely.
Returning to the Ye family villa or the Fu family old house was too far from Imperial University and Ye Li's studio, and Fu Yanci couldn't bear to travel back and forth every day.
Ali is his treasure, and he wants to possess her all to himself.
Ali, who is pregnant, is the darling of the entire Fu and Ye families. She should be treated like a queen, with everyone showering her with love and attention.
"Go home."
Ye Li spoke up.
She needs time to process this news.
Then, think about how to tell your mother and grandmother.
Looking up again, she saw Fu Yanci with a hesitant expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Her intuition told her that the usually wise and capable Master Fu had done something stupid again.
Ye Li narrowed her eyes. "What's wrong?"
"Old Gu said..."
As the first among his childhood friends to marry young and have children, Gu Lanting became the only standard that Fu Yanci could refer to.
Fu Yanci said, "Old Gu said the reason for keeping it a secret for the first two months was to avoid too many people coming to congratulate and bless the pregnant woman, which would affect her mood. It wasn't because he was afraid that something bad would happen after it was announced. So, so..."
So as soon as he got the test results and confirmed that Ye Li was pregnant, he immediately made it public.
Fu Yanci has already notified the entire Fu family, Li Xueqing, Aunt Lan, Lu Xizhou, Qin Chu... even Lan Lan and Jiang Che who are on a business trip abroad.
"But don't worry, Ali, I've already told everyone not to bother you, so that you can have a relaxed, happy and carefree pregnancy."
Fu Yanci assured him.
Ye Li: ...
As the car drove towards Lishan Mansion, Ye Li dialed Li Xueqing's number, but the call didn't go through for a long time.
I called Aunt Lan again, but no one answered.
Only Qin Chu sent an unprecedented "Are you there?" emoji a few minutes ago, looking extremely cautious.
Ye Li replied "Yes," but there was no further response.
Ye Li: !!!
Looking up again, I saw several cars parked in front of the villas at Lishan Mansion.
It's an old house.
The Ye family.
Glancing at Fu Yanci, Ye Li saw that the man's face was full of "I'm sorry, A Li." She smiled, got out of the car, and went into the villa.
The living room was noisy.
Old Madam Fu pulled Li Xueqing along, calling her "mother-in-law" repeatedly, and her face showed even more wrinkles.
Aunt Lan and the driver took everything from the trunk to the restaurant.
Before Ye Li could even utter the words "Grandmother" or "Mom," the roar of an engine came from afar and then came to a stop outside the gate.
The car door opened, and Qin Chu and Lu Xizhou got out, taking out bags and packages from the trunk.
Ye Li: ...
The Lishan Mansion was bustling with activity, just like during the Chinese New Year.
It was evening when everyone left, with Li Xueqing and Aunt Lan being the last to depart.
He patted Ye Li's hand and repeatedly reminded her to be especially careful when going up and down the stairs.
Aunt Lan wiped her reddened eyes, her face full of relief.
Not long after she arrived at the Ye family, Li Xueqing became pregnant.
After ten months of pregnancy, Ye Li was born weighing 6 pounds and 6 ounces, barely the size of an arm in her arms.
Before you know it, Ye Li is about to have a baby.
She kept looking back as she walked. If Li Xueqing hadn't jokingly said that the Ye family villa and Lishan Mansion were only a dozen kilometers apart, just a ten-minute drive away, Aunt Lan would have continued to nag for quite a while longer.
Watching the car drive away, Ye Li turned and went inside, where Fu Yanci gently embraced her. "Are you tired?"
I wasn't tired to begin with.
But when Fu Yanci asked that question, Ye Li suddenly felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away, and she instantly became as limp as a noodle.
Fu Yanci smiled, picked up Ye Li, and carried her back to the bedroom.
Let's talk about what nice names to give our children.
Guess whether the baby in the womb is a boy or a girl.
Thinking about the wedding, the two looked at each other and saw differing opinions in each other's eyes.
The wedding was originally scheduled for June 19th. By then, her graduation defense would be over, marking the perfect end to her university life. A romantic and beautiful wedding would be the perfect way to start a new chapter in her life.
At that time, she was two months pregnant.
"The doctor said the first three months will be very tough."
Fu Yanci gently stroked Ye Li's belly, "How about we postpone the wedding until next year? By then, when the baby is born, they can witness their parents' happiness!"
"I don't want to!"
The thought of her body not having recovered yet, and being postpartum, made Ye Li absolutely unable to accept it. "Fu Yanci, how about we move it up?"
? ? ?
Fu Yanci objected, "No way!"
Ye Li counted on her fingers and said, "I've checked, 520 is a good day, and it's a Saturday. What do you think?"
Ali was like this when she was little: quirky, impulsive, and full of mischievous ideas.
I never expected that someone who's already a mother would still be so unpredictable at such a major life event as her wedding.
