In the afternoon, Gu Youran came to the garden alone.
The wedding is tomorrow, and the entire villa area is hung with red lanterns and ribbons. Even the gentian in the glass greenhouse has been changed to a festive red.
She sat on the wicker swing, gently stroking her belly, imagining Shi Heng's possible expression when he heard the news.
He would be stunned at first, and then his always calm eyes would light up.
Maybe he'd even pick her up and spin her around like a big boy.
Thinking of this, Gu Youran's cheeks turned slightly hot.
She hoped that the first baby to be born would be a boy like Shi Heng, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
Following behind is a girl who looks like me, but she has dimples when she smiles.
In this way, the brother can always protect his sister, just like Shi Heng protects her.
Take out your phone and open the shopping app.
She first picked out baby clothes, a blue bear pattern for the boy and a pink bunny pattern for the girl, and chose five sets of each style in different sizes.
Next was the baby bottles. She carefully compared several products with anti-flatulence designs, and finally chose a well-known brand and placed an order for four directly.
There were more and more items in the shopping cart, including pure cotton socks, soft baby hats, bibs, and comfort towels, each of which she carefully selected.
When she saw a baby night light with a starry sky pattern, she immediately added it to the shopping cart so that her two children could sleep peacefully under the soft light.
The baby room also needs decorations.
She chose some cartoon wall stickers, a set of cloud-shaped storage cabinets, and curtains printed with musical notation patterns.
Finally, I chose a stroller specifically for twins, a side-by-side design with an extra-large storage basket.
Imagining Shi Heng pushing the stroller, she couldn't help laughing.
When she clicked "Confirm Payment," a message from Shi Heng suddenly popped up on her phone: "What are you doing?"
Gu Youran's heart skipped a beat and she almost dropped her phone.
She calmed herself down and quickly replied, "I'm getting familiar with the procedures for tomorrow's wedding."
After sending it, she couldn't help but chuckle. This was probably the first sweet lie in her life.
After the wedding tomorrow, she will tell him the good news of her pregnancy.
…
At the same time, in the study of the Shi family's old house.
Shi Zhengyang was sitting at the desk with a document on it.
"Master, I found it."
Zhuo Lin handed over the tablet computer. "Through the internal communication monitoring of the old house, we found that Zhang Cui frequently received calls from the same encrypted number in the month before her death."
Shi Zhengyang narrowed his eyes and ran his fingertips across the flashing red dot on the screen: "Are all the call signals coming from inside the old house?"
"Yes."
Zhuo Lin called up the three-dimensional positioning map, "The source of the last call was precisely located in the west wing area."
"The west wing..." Shi Zhengyang sneered, "Su Manyun's bedroom is right there."
Zhuo Lin added: "But the encrypted conversation cannot be restored and cannot be directly proved..."
"Where are the police?" Shi Zhengyang asked again.
"Still no progress. The scene has been professionally cleared and all surveillance footage has been lost."
Shi Zhengyang stood up and said, "It seems someone wants to sabotage tomorrow's wedding. Send two groups of people to take turns keeping an eye on her."
"Okay, I'll arrange it now." Zhuo Lin turned and left the study.
…
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Heng was lying on the big bed in the bedroom of the old house, looking through his and Gu Youran's wedding photos.
"She was smiling like a flower in the photo, and he couldn't wait to see her right now."
The phone suddenly vibrated.
"Hello." Shi Heng answered the phone, his voice still cold.
"President Shi!" Fu Xingyao's energetic voice came, "We are in room 808 of the Emperor Club. Wenjie and Gu Xun are here. You are the only one missing!"
"What's up?"
"What else could it be?" Fu Xingyao said exaggeratedly, "You're getting married tomorrow, and tonight is your final bachelor party! Doctor Gu isn't with you, is he?"
Shi Heng glanced at the empty bedroom and said, "He's not here."
"What are you waiting for? Come quickly!" Fu Xingyao said and hung up the phone.
Forty minutes later, Shi Heng pushed open the door of Box 808 of the Emperor Club.
"Aheng is here!" Gu Xun was the first to notice him and walked over with champagne in hand.
He was wearing a light blue shirt and looked energetic.
Fu Xingyao jumped up from the sofa and put his arm around Shi Heng's shoulders, "Our groom-to-be has finally arrived!"
Si Wenjie sat on the single sofa in the corner and raised the red wine in his hand as a greeting.
He was sending a message on his phone with a gentle smile on his face.
"Who are you chatting with?" Shi Heng walked over and asked.
"Yining." Si Wenjie put away his phone. "Ask us when we'll finish."
Shi Heng sat down on the single sofa closest to the door.
The waiter immediately brought a glass of red wine.
"Let me make it clear first," Shi Heng took the wine glass, "I have to be back before twelve o'clock."
"You're kidding!" Gu Xun exclaimed exaggeratedly, "How can a bachelor's night end so early? Wenjie, don't you think so?"
Si Wenjie smiled and shook his head, "I promised Yining to go back before eleven o'clock."
"You two!" Gu Xun held his forehead. "Is marriage so scary? You even have to go back early for singles night?"
"You'll understand when you meet the right person." Si Wenjie said meaningfully.
Gu Xun rolled his eyes. "Okay, okay. I know you only have your wives in your hearts. But you still have to play the game, right?"
"What game?" Shi Heng asked warily.
Fu Xingyao smiled mysteriously and took out a deck of cards from under the coffee table.
"Truth or Dare! As usual, whoever draws the Ace of Hearts chooses Truth or Dare."
Shi Heng nodded reluctantly.
