Three months had passed since they returned from their trips to various countries. Zhuang Yan and Lu Yan had both gotten a bit tanned and were working and preparing for their wedding back in China.
In June, Zhuang Yan and Lu Yan took wedding photos.
In July, Zhuang Yan accompanied Lu Yan to try on wedding dresses.
In August, Zhuang Yan made a video call to Jiang Ning, who was filming a movie abroad, to tell her the wedding date.
In September, the wedding venue was arranged, and the couple prepared wedding favors and invitations together.
In October, Zhuang Yan and Lu Yan got married.
Lu Yan, dressed in a silver wedding gown, walked towards Zhuang Yan. At this moment, Lu Yan was like a fairy stepping on stars, and the sun outside was not as dazzling as her. When she saw Zhuang Yan, she raised her eyebrows and smiled uncontrollably.
In the presence of many witnesses, and amidst the priest's solemn questioning.
Zhuang Yan clutched his heart and swore, "For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, I will love you. Even death cannot separate us. Don't worry about what will happen to you after you marry me. You will still be you, the unique Lu Yan, the person I love most in this world. Miss Lu Yan, will you marry me?"
Lu Yan suddenly grabbed Zhuang Yan's hand and placed it on her chest, letting him feel her heartbeat.
"I am willing to go against human instincts and defy nature to love you forever."
The heart in her palm was beating fast; it was Lu Yan's overflowing love. Her eyes were filled with Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan's eyes reddened slightly. Under Lu Yan's gaze, he took out the wedding ring and carefully put it on Lu Yan's ring finger.
This is a very simple ring without diamonds as decoration. The spiral shape resembles a DNA double helix, and if you look closely, you can see that a part of the DNA sequence is engraved on it.
The ring was designed and made by Zhuang Yan, and it represents my love for you, which is innate.
Unparalleled.
The moment the ring was put on, distant bells rang, white doves flapped their wings and flew into the sky, and a gentle breeze lifted Lu Yan's veil.
"Groom, it's time to kiss your bride."
Zhuang Yan looked at the veil being blown by the wind and joked, "It seems the wind is more anxious than I am."
"No, it's me who's in a hurry." As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yan rushed over and hugged Zhuang Yan's neck to kiss him.
Zhuang Yan subconsciously held onto her waist, her eyes wide with a smile, and without thinking, deepened the kiss.
Those below were moved to tears. Neither of them had parents or relatives, so many things were missing. Suddenly, two swallows flew in, circling in mid-air and chirping brightly.
Zhuang Yan held Lu Yan and looked over. Perhaps, those two swallows were their relatives.
...
The couple decided to let nature take its course when it came to having children.
Lu Yan quite likes children. After going to the hospital for that kind of examination and confirming that there were no problems, she started to wait.
In Lu Yan's opinion, she and Zhuang Yan are rich, good-looking, smart, and so loving. It would be a waste of their genes if they didn't have a child.
Their baby must be the cutest and smartest baby in the world. They say all roads lead to Rome, but their child was born into Rome. How lucky they are!
In December, Lu Yan started experiencing symptoms and a pregnancy test came back positive.
She immediately shared the good news with Zhuang Yan.
Upon receiving the news, Zhuang Yan immediately took Lu Yan to the hospital for a thorough examination, which revealed that she was three weeks pregnant.
Since Lu Yan became pregnant, Zhuang Yan has devoted most of his energy and time to Lu Yan, taking great care of her.
Pregnancy and childbirth are extremely difficult for women. Although medicine is advanced now, many pregnant women still die during childbirth.
After becoming pregnant, Lu Yan was a treasure in Zhuang Yan's eyes, someone he cherished and protected.
Lu Yan wasn't nervous at all; she just went about her business as usual and even continued exercising.
Zhuang Yan bought a whole bunch of books to read, including "The Complete Encyclopedia of Pregnancy and Childbirth," "What to Eat Each Week During Pregnancy," and "Accompanying My Wife During Her Pregnancy."
When Lu Yan was two months pregnant, Zhuang Yan already possessed all the knowledge. He not only knew how to take care of pregnant women, but also bought a doll to learn how to change diapers and feed babies. He could take care of infants even before the baby was born.
Zhuang Yan also watched the pregnant woman's childbirth process, and then had a nightmare that night. He was terrified and began to regret getting Lu Yan pregnant so quickly.
Lu Yan was woken up by the noise: "What's wrong?"
Zhuang Yan took a breath and gently hugged her, saying, "Wife, how about we don't have the baby? I'm scared..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lu Yan smacked him hard: "What nonsense are you spouting in the middle of the night? Do you think you can just decide not to have a child? Are you having a nightmare?"
The person who knows Zhuang Yan best is Lu Yan. She moved up a little and hugged Zhuang Yan in her arms: "Don't worry, I have my prenatal check-ups on time. I'm in good health, and the baby is healthy too. I won't have any problems. Having a child means having another person who loves you. I'm willing to have the baby, and I'd love to have the baby with you."
It's said that pregnant women are sensitive during pregnancy and should be comforted, but in their case, it was the opposite – the expectant mother was comforting the expectant father.
Three months into her pregnancy, Lu Yan was doing well. She ate and slept well, her skin was rosy and glowing, and she seemed to be radiating light.
Zhuang Yan... experienced vomiting, had difficulty swallowing food, and felt nauseous at the smell of fish and meat. In just one month, he lost a lot of weight.
He went to the hospital and was found to be healthy with no problems. Just as the doctor was wondering what the problem might be, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is your wife pregnant recently?"
"Yes, is there a connection?"
"There is indeed a connection. It's called 'pregnancy syndrome.' Couples who love each other more are more likely to experience this reaction, which means you're too worried about your wife."
Lu Yan didn't experience morning sickness; it was Zhuang Yan who vomited. He vomited for four months until Lu Yan was eight months pregnant and had a big belly. The symptoms gradually disappeared, but Zhuang Yan was still very nervous.
In addition to preparing nutritious meals for Lu Yan every day, he would also do prenatal exercises with her and talk to Lu Yan's belly whenever he had free time, telling the little baby inside to behave and not disturb its mother.
The baby is very well-behaved and exceptionally gentle. Even when stretching in the womb, the baby does so softly, as if afraid of hurting the mother.
At 39 weeks pregnant, or nine months and 21 days, Lu Yan's due date arrived. On the night of August 30th, her water broke, and at 11:14 PM, her baby boy was born safely.
With red eyes, Zhuang Yan first kissed Lu Yan's sweat-drenched forehead, and then, with trembling hands, took the baby from the nurse's arms.
Even though he had practiced countless times at home, he was still so nervous and stiff when he held the baby that he couldn't move, afraid of hurting him.
The nurse next to him laughed out loud: "Dad, you're too tense, relax your arm a bit..."
After being lectured by the nurse, Zhuang Yan was finally able to hold the baby normally. He held the baby in front of Lu Yan and said, "This is Mommy, and I am Daddy. Welcome to this world, baby. From now on, you will protect Mommy with me."
